news for the automobile owners. The
board has decided to complete the fine
road from Camden to the sea by construct
ing new road across the meadows. 1t is
tosbe 100 feet wide and will cost $4,000,
one third of which will be paid by the
State. The road will be five feet above
the level of the meadows, and to protect it
against high tides sweeping over it or un-
dermining the bed the road will be dyked

THE NAVAL BILL.
Conference Report Does Not Cover
Many Important Points.

Washington, June 23.-The conference
report on the naval appropriation bill.
which was agreed to by the Senate, to-
day, was only a partial report. Many
Of the important amendments inserted
by the Senate are still in controversy
and will be made the subject of further
debate. The undetermined questions
are all those relating to the increase OF
the navy. including the proposed addi-
tional torpedo boats and the point as 10
whether any new warships shall be
built in government navy yards; the re-
moval of Henderson's point at Ports
mouth n H.; the provisions concern
ing the navy yard at Charleston, >. ~;
all the provisions for increase of staff
and the amendment for the increase of
| midshipmen.
Among the Senate amendments ac-
cepted by the conference are those pro-
viding for Il naval training station for
the Great Lakes; for the condemnation
of land at Norfolk, Va; the purchase
| of land at Key West, Fla; for repairs
at Mare Island; for the increase OF the
enlisted force of the Marine Corps. and
giving the commandant of the Marine
Corps the rank of major general.

estly in favor of the Nicaragua route
and they undoubtedly will stand by
the House bill as long as there any pos
sibility of its selection.
On the other hand, Mr.. Fletcher of
Minnesota, considers the Panama route
better than the Nicaragua, although he
thinks fuller investigation might have
shown the Darien route better than
either of the others. However, as the
present legislative issue appears to be
confined to a choice between Nicaragua
and Panama, Mr.. Fletcher probably
will cast his influence for the latter.
The length of the contest will depend,
therefore, on the duration of the in
sistence of Messrs. Hepburn and Davey
for the Nicaragua route and the atti-
tude of the House in supporting such
insistence. Statements made by the
House conferees lead to the belief that
the insistence will not be carried to the
point of a permanent deadlock defeat
ing all canal legislation at this session.
The friends of the Panama project
have been making a canvass of the
strength of the Senate amendment in
the House and are confident that a
motion to concur can command ma
jority. This, however, may become
complicated by propositions to attach
conditions to the concurrence, one OF
the conditions under discussion being
a time limit for the period of negotia-
tions to secure the perfected title.

Doubtful if Reciprocity With Cuba Car
Be Put Through.

Washing ton, June CIT has been de-
termined that no reciprocity with Cuba
can be submitted at the present session
of CONGRESS- 1t was at first planned
that. in the event of failure Of admins
ira ton managers in the Senate to Sc
cure favorable action on the Cuban su-
gar bill, a treaty would be drafted At
once. This was on the understanding
that Senior Quesada, the Cuban minis
ter mere, had full power and that q
treaty could be drawn in Washington
entirely.
IL stated now, however, that this
cannot be accomplished in the short
space of time intervening before ad-
iournment. if the estimates of the lead
ers that Congress will adjourn by July
I are correct.
No confidence is felt in adninistra-
ton circles as to the ability of the Sen
ate managers to secure the ratification
Of q treaty, even if one is drawn. and
while the President may feel called up
on to nut the matter to a test, il Will pe
rather with the idea of demonstrating
his own purpose to do everything pos
sible for Cuba than in any expectation
that Il two-third vote for ratification
could be reached.

Washington, June 23.-Debate on
the Philippine civil government bill
warmed up in the House, today, and
henceforth promises to be of much
liVelicr character. The increased in
terest is due to the injection into the
debate Of a comparison of the cruel
ties charged to have been practiced
in the Philippine with those which oc-
CURED during the Civil war. The sub
ject has been lightly touched upon
once or twice before, but attracted
little attention until Grosvenor, Ohio,
today, revived the memory of the eX-
tremities to which Grant and Jackson
were nut during the Rebellion. This
WAS followed. late in the day, by a
speech from Mahon, Pa, in which he

IN THE SENATE.
Omnibus Territorial Bill Comes Up but
Is Not Disposed of.

Washington, June pa motion was
entered formally in the Senate, today,
By Quay, Pa, to discharge the COM
mitfee on territories from consideration
of the omnibus territorial bill-a meas
ure to admit as states the erritories of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
Quay spoke briefly but forcibly in sup
port of his motion, maintaining that
both political parties in national con-
vention had pledged themselves to the
admission of statehood of the terrific
rieS.
Beveridge of Inriana, chairman of the
committee, said the measure had been
put over until next session by the COM
mittee. because it was then not believed
that there would be time now to consid-
er it properly. No action was taken
on the motion.

GRONcHRISTMAS SCANDAL.
Letters Showing How Peculiar at Least
the Affair Was.

Washington, June 23.-The House
special committee which is investigat
ing charges in connection with the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies, re-
sumed its sessions, today, and Chair
man Dalzell laid before the members q
number of papers, including letters
from the United States minister to Den
mark. Mr. Swenson, Henry White, sec
retary of the United States embassy at
London. and Capt. Walter Christmas,
who has been the central figure in con-
nection with the charges. Secretary
Hay forwarded the letters without
commenting on their contents.
Mr.. Swenson's letter encloses that
handed to him by Capt. Christmas, in
which the latter states that Neils Gron
obtained his confidential report by foul
means, that he has reason to believe
Gron falsified it, and denies a number
Of allegations which it contained. He
says he never tried to impress Minis
ter Horring that bribery was the only
way of getting the islands sold. He
had not given the name Of any con-
gresham in connection with the use
of money. He makes a general denial
of several matters.
Minister SwensOn says that in view
of Christmas character and absurd
and contradictory Statements he at
tached no Importance to the letter. He
says the opponents of the sale of the
islands are using the Gron-C Christmas
scandal to prevent ratification of the
treaty.
Whites letter is a detailed account
of his visit to Denmark to bring about
an agreement for the sale of the is
lands.
II. II. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co.,
sent letter in which he says he had
but one interview with Christmas and
that was devoid of Importance. He
adds:
THE story he tells as to my claim.

ators. is simply a falsehood and so alb
srrd on it's face that it is hardly worth
listening to-
Rogers offered to come as witness
il the committee wanted him. Rogers
will not be asked to appear, but Chair
man DalZell has written him to for
ward an explanation of a. dispatch
which Christmas quoted as sent by
Rogers, saying the negotiations were
again on.
