Delay in Reporting Bill Saving Of Time Lat.
er- Nicaragua is Most Favored.

Washington, Jan. 29.-An attempt is
being made to make capital out of the
delay in reporting the canal bill, but
Senator Mitchell says that time will be
saved in having every possible feature
of opposition to Nicaragua developed
in the committee, so that there can be
no requests for further investigation,
or further delay after the bill comes
before the senate. Then it will simply
be question which is the best route,
and while the matter may be discussed
at length, debate cannot be drawn out,
as it might be, should some senator
hold that the committee had not gath
cred all the facts obtainable. Senator
Hanna acknowledges that the commit
tee is surely in favor of the Nicaragua
bill, there being three majority against
Panama, whenever the committee is
ready to vote.

They are only Uncle Sans troops

Fort Riley to take part In the fall
maneuvers at the latter place Topeka
will be one Of their stopping places.

tomorrow. All the troops at Fort Leav-

heavy siege battery, which will remain
at Fort Leavenworth until after the
other troops return. Then it will go to
Fort Riley for target practice.
1t will require seven days for the cav
airy to make the march from Leayen-

for the infantry. The troops will be
equipped and make the marcn as though
they were going through the enemy's
country. There will be advance and rear

sort. and f1ankers and outposts will be
thrown out whenever a stop is made
The line of march is through Lowe
Topeka, Silver Lake, St. Marys, Wa
mego and Manhattan and camping
grounds have been selected at each Of
these places.
Everything will be conducted just as
though everybody were hostile to the
marching forces, instead of the most
loyal people in the world. The object
is to train the soldiers in every line of
a soldiers life. The troops will all
reach Fort Riley and be in camp by
September 20, so as to have everything
settled before the maneuvers begin,
which will be on September 49, They
will continue until October 10, after
which the Fort Leavenworth troops will
march back again.
The site for the encampment at Fort

about four square miles, from the line

| Then there will be an elaborate pro-

ments and all sorts of military maneu-
vers. The entire Fort Riley reservation,
