danger of disagreeable surprises as the
work progressed. Mr.. Burton received
a round OF applause as he concluded
Mr. Hill Comm, at this point read
letter from Prof. Ward, OF Bridgeport,
Conn, who was employed as an engi-
neer on the Panama Canal for six and
half years, contending that the Panama
route was the better on the following
grounds:
First, 1t has two excellent ports with
a well equipped railroad.
2nd, An established line Of steamers
to New York.
3rd, Competent equipment of cars and
machinery.
4th. Accommodation for 10000 laborers.
5th, Actual definite plans for the com-
pletion of the canal with all the expert
mental work done: and
9Th, The serious danger OF volcanic
disturbances in Nicaragua.
Mr.. Burgess (Tex.), who represented
the Galveston district, supported the
bill in an earnest speech. The only
amendment he favored was one declaring
in unequivocal language that the canal
should be fortified He said that the
american people NOulu illethS a pA"N'N
mark against every member of Congress
who voted AGAINST the fortification of the
canal at the time of it's construction
Mr.. Cummings IN. W, opposed the
further consideration of the Panama
Companys offer. The company wanted
forty million dollars for the work al
ready done which covered about one
fourth of the canal. The completed one
fourth had cost the French stockholders
$240. GOO 600. At the same rate 1T would
cost the United tSates S72O,OOO.OOO to
complete the canal.

Il am glad to know that there are at
least 80 young Democrats in. Philadel-

strongly related, to genuine Democratic
sentiments, may reasonably l think. be
counted among the affective vsitations
that have lately weakened and depressed
our party organization.
Il hope the spirit of true Jacksonian
Democracy may pervade in our celebra-

rive satisfaction and stimulation from
their efforts to revive and strengthen
the principles and practices of our old
time, honest. consistent and aggressive
Democratic faith.'' Ss

Owing to absence your letter had only
just reached me. Though too late to

who have determined that Jackson Day
shall not be let pass unhonored in Phila-
delphia. The celebration you project is
