Washington. Jan. 8.--The first notes
between the contest of the Nicaragua
and Panama routes for the isthmian
canal were heard in the senate Tues
day. MIR. Morgan offered and secured
the adoption OF a resolution which in
dicated his purpose to have the COM
mittee on interoceanic canals inquire
into the relations alleged to exist be-
tween the transcontinental railroad
companies Of the United States and
Canada and the Panama Canal com
pany. In explanation Of the resolution
Mr.. Morgan declared that the alleged
relations were a wicked monopoly,
which already had cost the people OF
the Pacific coast millions of dollars.
The relations involve the control by
the Panama Canal company and the
agreement existing between certain
railroads of the United States and the
Pacific Mail Steamship company.
The first hour after the session con
yened was consumed by the introduce
ton of bills. principally measures OF
q private character, including bills for
pension claims, etc.
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont was reliev-
ed. at his request from the immigra-
ton committee. Mr.. Dillingham; was
appointed to fill the vacancy.

AGAINST BIG | PACKERS
Interstate Commerce Commission Sc
sares Valuable Evidence.
DEMORALIZED RATES
OfElesals of Railroads Admit There 10
No Pretense Toward Maintaining
Rates on Packing Houses.
Only for Short Hauls.

Chicago, Jan. 8. - Prosecutions
against all the big packing house con-
Germs In the west for violations OF the
provisions OF the Interstate commerce.
law against receiving preferential rates
are contemplated by the interstate
commerce commission. This fact de-
veloped during the investigation by
the commission iEto the handling OF
packing house products ana list meets.
1t is also apparent that the commits
sion and the railroad management of
the entire country practically had en-
tered into an alliance for the purpose
OF inducing congress to pass legislation
permitting the railroads to pool under
certain regulations by the interstate
commerce commission. and that 1t Is
believed such q law can and will be
passed.
The third development OF the day
was the announcement that the commits
sion lad requested the attendance
here OF all che leading men In the ad-
vanoement of the community OF inter
ests Idea including ]. p, Morgan. Jamss
]. Hill and T.. II. Hartman. and that
u these men failed to respond to the
request harsher measures would be
taken TO compel their coming
Evidence upon which to base prose-
cutions against the packers was OBJ
tanned In abundance. Traffic manag-
ers and vice presidents of roads east
and west admitted freely that there
was no prstense toward maintaining
tariff rates on packing house products
and list OF meats for export or domSs-
tic use except for short time at the
ssginaig of each year
The packing houses and their repre-
sentatives to whom rebates were paid
during 1901. according TO Commission
er PFouty. Will, IL possible. be made
amenable to the maximum fine OF $4,000
for every violation OF the Law.

Washington, Jan. s.--The debate on
the Nicaragua canal bill in the house
was opened in lively fashion Tuesday
by Mr.. Hepburn, chairman Of the in
terstate and foreign commerce COM
mission, which reported the bill For
two hours be held the floor, replying
10 a volley OF questions concerning
the recent ofser OF the Panama Canal
company to sell its property and fran
chises to the United States for S40.-
600 900. The interest In the debate
centered almost entirely in this new
phase of the subject, Mr.. Hepburn
maintained that the alleged new of1er
of the Panama company was part or
the plan of delay.
Mr.. Morris OF Minnesota, gave no
tica that at the proper time he would
offer an amendment to authorize the
president, If he could procure the
property and rights of the Panama
company for $4,000. 600, II conces-
sions could be procured from Colon
hia and II the Walker commission so
recommended, TO purchase and pro-
coed to complete the Panama canal.
The other speakers were Messrs. Dav-
Is of Florida. Richardson OF Alabama,
Mann OF Illinois and Adams of Penn
sylvania.
Mr. Cooper OF Texas introduced a
bill permitting crude petroleum and
other oils to be transported from one
port TO another of the United States
In vessels other than those belonging
to the United States.
Representative Barholdt OF Mis-
souri, introduced bill repeating all
the increased taxes under the war
revenue act.

THE PRICE is LOW.

Canal Commission Makes Its
Report upon Offer.

washington. Jan. Sat the cabinet
meeting Tuesday the proposition OF
the Panama Canal company, TO trans
fer its property to the United States
for the sum of $4,000. 600 was dis
cussed. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the price named is regarded by the adj
ministration as sufficiently low to JUS
tify congress in giving the offer the
most careful consideration. 1t is ex-
pected that the isthmian canal COM
mission will make a supplementary re-
port to the president which will EN-
brace the latest proposition OF the
Panama company.
