sum does not seem extravagant since
the Bradley-Martin ball cost $250,OOo,
and there is reason to congratulate
Mrs. Fish on the economy exhibited
In limiting expenditures to trifiing
$4,000. The most notable feature of
the dance was that, being colonial,

off their mustaches. This was so OBJ

MAJORITY FOR
A CANAL B Ii

WASHINGTON. March I'm the Hep
burn bll, providing Tor an lsthman
Caaai by the Nicaragua route, can be
brought to a vote, it will pass the Sen
ate by an overwhelming majority.
Chairman Mos gan's plan is to have
the bill reported from the Canal Commit
tee next week, and have it placed on the
calendar for consideration Immediately
after the vote on the ship subsidy bill.
This plan can be carried out unless the
Panama obstruction!sts in the commit
tee insist on calling more witnesses from
great distance and demand the right
to have them heard.
UHess there is a change OF sentiment
In the committee. which is not at all
likely, the Hepburn bill will be reported
out from the committee by vote of Z
to L.
The great danger to the canal now Is
in the organized opposition of the trans
continental railroads to the measure. a
powerful lobby is at work to secure in
definite delay in canal legislation.
The committee today heard Jacob Mil
ler.' president of the Maritime Canal
Company, the question OF the con-
struction of an interoceanic canal. He
placed the amount of money that has
been expended by the company and him
self at between four and five million
dollars. He said the stockholders would
be satisfied with whatever the Govern
ment of the United States would fit
to give them
No one here attaches much Importance
TO the statement that Costa Rica and
Nicaragua have declared the understand
ing with the United States as to terms
for canal building had lapsed. This is
believed to be an attempt at hold-up and
the Government has notified the republics
that no other explanation 5 possible.
