ERWIN SAYS "sU1C1DE',
He Is Sure Norbeck Has Made a
Tragic Finish. ~

Basing his assumption solely on his
knowledge of human nature, w. w. Er-
win, one Of Norheck's attorneys, says he
is convinced that his client took the river
route as the shortest way out Of his
troubles! When he last saw Norbeck,
Mr.. Erwin declares, the detective had not
lost heart and was willing to ''go down
the line" in finish fight for acquittal.
The despondent condition Of mind brought
about by his debauch and the accusation
of guilt against him, the attorney thinks
would have been enough to cause him to
commit suicide. .s;S .Ic

Mr.. Erwin expressed the further belief
that Norbeck would have been cleared

Attorneys Erwin and Mead have sur
rendered the fight for Norbeck. From
now, on they will devote their attention to

retary of State Hay concerning the point
raised In the isthmian canal debate by Mr..
Klttredge (S. d.: ts
II am requested by, the minister of Costa
Rtca to inform the committee on inter
oceanic canals that he has been instructed
by his government to make known to that
Of the, United States that the, government of
Costa Rica are prepared to take all necessary
steps to put themselves in position to
negotiate with the government Of the United
States a treaty for appropriate concessions for
an isthmian canal on terms substantially as
proposed by the government of the United
States
The communication was laid on the
table.
Mr.. Clark Fawors Nicaragua.
vT Mr.. spooner then offered his amendment
as substitute for the pending so-called
Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill.
Mr.. Clark (Montana) then addressed
the senate in support of the Nicaragua
route. He thought if one half the OBJ
jections to both routes were valid neither
route would be adopted. The difficulties
of constructing the canal, he believed,
were exaggerated He thought that the
Nicaragua route was more to be pre-
preferred as it was more feasible and
more practicable. ~ fs>'
Mr.. Clark declared that the Panama
to be avoided. The Panama canal plan
had left.za heritage Of ruin, disaster and
desolation: 49,.
Mr.: Allison's views. -. -.
Mr.. Allison explained why he should
vote for the Spooner substitute. He
pointed out that the eyes of the Ameri-
can people had been directed particularly
toward the Nicaragua route because it
was supposed that as French company
had the concessions for the Panama
route the United States was barred from
that route.< Mr.: Allison said it was pro-
posed now to: build a;canal thirty five feet
deep and wide enough and with a volume
Of water: sufficient to float; the largest
ship afoat. The minimum expenditure
for the construction of the canal, he. be
lieved, would be- more than 5000, 100000.
To meet this enormous expenditure he
favored the borrowing of money, making
proper provision for liquidating the, prin-
cipal and interest of the bonds.
Mr.. Morgan Closes the: Debate:.
I: Mr.. Morgan, Chairman of the inter-
oceanic canal committee at the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. .Allison's remarks, began his
speech, Closing the debate. He said the
canal issue seemed to have come down to
a single .point-that of finance. On that
point he deferred to Mr.. Allison, but did
not believe with. him that it would be
necessary to Issue bonds to pay for the
construction of a canal.
The senate then adopted Senator Fair
bank s amendment for the issuance Of
bonds on the isthmian canal, 81 to &c.

bill to amend an act for the relief and
civilization of the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota which was under consideration
when the house adjourned last night. This
is called the Morris. bill.
The amendment had been offered by Mr..
Eddy (Minn.) 1t proved for open bids
for the sale of timber lands upon the In
dian reservations in Minnesota. Mr..
Eddy, in support of his amendment, said
the arguments in favor of the sealed bids
which the interior department advocated
on the ground that they would prevent

Viewed in .cits. commercial aspect, 1t had

of the future are to be waged. But our

turn for Reduction in Rates.

OTTAWA, Feb. I5.-The department Of
justice is drawing up contract with the
MaTconi Wireless Telegraph Company
which will provide that in return for a
contribution from the federal exchequer
towards the erection Of the company s
station in Cape Breton for the receipt
and despatch Of transatlantic messages
by wireless telegraph. the Canadian au-
thorites are guaranteed reduction in
the rates for commercial messages Of 80
per cent
This may mean that. instead Of costing
as it does today, twenty-five cents a word
for cables to England, messages can
be sent from Canada for ten cents a word.
The Canadian Government is also to
employ, without royalty. the Marconi sys-
TEN, as a means of saving life and prop
erty among the seacoast and the shores Of
the great lakes.
The equipment Of lighthouses with this
means Of communication in all Kinds OF
weather cannot fail to prove Of tremend-
Gus advantage. The aid granted will
amount 10 several thousand dollars. but
before dollar Of the money is paid over,
the commercial prsctibnity OF trans
oceanic wireless teIegraphy must be de-
monstrated.
