tongue he would be a better legislator
Cannon discussing the language Of
the bill said that under it's "unfortu-
nate artful language" full power was
given to pay Nicaragua and Costa Rica
and the Maritime Canal Co., their de-
mands but also the American and
Nicaraguan spectators who owned
property along the route. He critici-
sed the undue haste of the promoters
of the Nicaragua canal. He wanted to
see what had been recently negotiated
He objected to the provision that con-
tracts could be made for the whole
work.
Cannon said that it was doubtful if
war taxes could be removed if the gov
eminent was committed to such a gil
gantic enterprise. He said he would
vote for the Morris amendment and if
that failed would move to recommit, so
the bill could be amended.
De Almond. Mo-, favored leaving the
question of routes to the President.
With alternative authority he could
make better terms. The bill as pre-
scented was not mature. Was the army
engineer corps or a gigantic syndicate
! " pullu TIE Cdudl.
Cannon. discussing the language Of the
bill, asked what was meant by authoriZ-
inZ the President to obtain full control
over the land upon which the canal was
to be built. Did 1T mean the purchase, an
| ownership of miles of property owned by
spectators both American and Nicara-
guam? With great emphasis Cannon de-
clared that in his judgment, under the
general appropriation the bill contained
and it's "artful language" it would be
claimed that it gave the President full
power not only to pay Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, but the Maritime Canal Co.
and European and Nicaraguan specuat-
might be 81 900 900, $4,000, 600 or So, 900, 00G
He denounced what he termed the un-
| due haste of those who wanted to build
| this canal between now and sunrise, to-
| morrow" He also objected to the au
| thOriZation the bill contained to negotiate
contracts for the whole work. Cannon
said he would vote for the Morris amend
ment. and if it failed he would move to
re-commit the bill with amendments he
had suggested.
DeArmond Mo-, said the question be-
fore the American people was not as to
whether Congress would pass bill fOr
the isthmian canal, but whether the bill
would be matured and proper when pass
ed. If confidence existed in the President
why should he not be given the oppor-
tunty to negotiate with Colombia and
Nicaragua according to the informa tio:
in his possession? Alternative authority
would enable him to make better terms
Experts differed to the advantages of
| the two routes. Why not give the Pres
| ident the discretion to select?
Vandivcr, Mo-, and Hooker, Miss, ad-
vocated the passage of the unamendcd
| Hepburn bill.

individuals May Sell.

Recent events have given ground for
the belief that the result OF negotiations
now In progress will be the ultimate
sale of the property of the individual
operators to the large carrying compan-
les. Although this is not probable now
1t Is certain to come In the not distant
future, because it is the only solution of
the present situation and is the out
come which both the Independents and
the large companies desire.
1t is estimated that the collieries of
the sixty-seven independent operators
can be purchased for S145, 900, 600.
These operations produce three-tenths
OF the total output of coal.
