qua and Two Weeks in Panama.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 49,
In the Senate to-day, Mr.. Dillingham;
concluded his remarks in opposition to
the omnibus statehood bill. and by unani-
nous consent it was agreed that there
should be no further discussion of the
measure until the Senate reconveneS, on
January 5th. Mr.. Teller wanted to sub
nit some remarks, in reply, he said. to
the ISLANDERS of the Committee on Terri
tories and of Mr.. Dillingham;, but Sena-
tors insisted that the agreement not to
further discuss the bill should be adj
hered to.
Mr. Morgan, Of Alabama, criticised the
salaries paid the Isthman Canal Com
mission.
In response to an i}quiry from nr. Hale
Mr.. Morgon asked that his bill fixing
the salaries of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission al $1,000 a year be referred to the
Committee on Interoceanic Canals. He
said he had been informed that the pres
ent commissioners were paid $1,000 a
month each, and that their service had
extended over twenty-nine and a half
months.
In response to an inquiry from Mr..
Hale. MI Morgan said that out Of the
twenty-nine and half months. the COM
mission had spent six weeks in Nicara-
qua and two weeks in Panama.
REMARKABLE. BUT TRUE.
THAT is a very remarkable statement"
said Mr.. Hale.
1T is true one" replied Mr.. Nor
gan, land shows the necessity of our
doing something to regulate these ex-
perses."
Continuing, Mr.. Morgan said It was
necessary, in advance Of striking one
lick on that canal, to make such pro-
vision as will prevent the United States
from running into the horrible iniquit.es
Of the old Panama Canal Company, as
well as the new one. He said there had
beer spent on that canal s2600Oo,OGo, and
there was nothing to show for it, except
two-fifths of ditch dug there, which
was filled up to a large extent. The bill
was referred as requested.

The House to-day passed the bill trans
