Wili Relieve Existing Distress.
 Washington, Jan 14.-The bill re- ported from the ways and means com- mittee yesterday to provide for a re- bate of the duties on foreign coal for a period of one year was passed in short order by the House late this af ternoon by practically a unanimous vote, 258-5, those voting against it be- ing Messrs. Cushman and Jones of Washington; Gaines of West Virginia; Mondell of Wyoming and Patterson of Pennsylvania. all republicans. The bill was considered under the operation ot 8 rule which cut off opportunity to amend. The only opposition to the measure came from some of the mem bers representing coal states, who ex- pressed the fear that the admission of Chinese mined coal in Canada would injure the coal industry of their states. Both MT. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and MT. Payne of New York, the republi- can leaders, expressed the opinion that the bill would not relieve the existing distress. The House concurred in the Senate amendment, which is mentioned below.
 The senate to-day acted promptly on the house bill providing rebates of the duty on coal and passed it unanimously without debate, few minutes after it was brough over from the house.
 MT. Aldrich offered a committee amendment adding a new section to the the bill providing that the provisions of paragraph 451 of the Dingley act shall not be construed hereafter to authorize the imposition of any duty on anthracite coal. MT. Aldrich asked immediate con- sideration.
 Mir. Vest remarked that he hoped the bill would pass without a single dis senting vote. As amended the bill pass ed unanimously.
 Following is the bill as passed by both houses, but not including the amendment:
 That the secretary of the treasury be and is hereby authorized and requir- ed to make full rebate of duties impos- ed by law on all coal of every form and description imported into the United States from foreign countries for per iod of one year from and after the pass age of this act"

Benefited by Construction of Canal
 by United States.
 Berlin, Jan. 14.-The German govern ment has sent a note to the United States, relative to the report that Ger many is seeking to acquire Colombia's S interests in the Panama Canal compa- ny, affirming that the report is utterly baseless, and, it is understood, express ing the opinion that Germany's com merce would be benefited by the con- struction of the canal by the United States.
 Washington, Jan. 14-It is learned at the state department that Ambassador Tower has received from the German foreign office an unequivocal denial of the statement, that found some curren- cy few days ago, to the effect that the German government was endeav- bring to secure control of the Panama canal franchise. The ambassadors ad-
 
 ment with any feeling for or against the canal enterprise, but it is gathered that the state of the public mind in Berlin, certainly in commercial circles, is favorable to American construction, because of the benefits expected to &C., crue to German shipping engaged in trade on the Pacific and on the west coast of South America.
 It is said at the state department that there is no change in the status of the negotiations with Colombia respecting the canal. Great impatience is exhibit ed at the delays and the failure of Co., lombia to accept the terms held out, and pressure is being brought to bear to hasten conclusion so that the pres ident before the adjournment of the present congress may have acquired control of either the Panama or the Nicaraguan routes and be in position to begin the work of construction.

NEARLY ONE HUNDRED MEN BROUGHT TO WATERBURY.
Jeered by lhe Crowds but No Violence is 0Gfsred-cars Not Operated Tester day-Anothor Promise That They Wili be TO-day-Uniom Carpenters Called from Work aE the Barns.

Waterbury, Conn.,, Jan. 14.-To-day the fourth since the strike of the motor men and conductors employed by the Connecticut Lighting and Power com pany in this city began was. eventful because of the arrival this afternoon shortly after o'clock of between six ty and seventy strike breakers.
 The company has promised each day to opera te its cars with the aid of out siders, but failed to keep its promise again to-day because of an insufficient number of men. About two hundred persons congregated in the center of the city as the two cars bearing the non-union men passed through from the depot 10 the temporary quarters at the car barn, in charge of Superinten- dent Wales. Some of the crowds jeer- ed as the cars went by, but no serious disturbance is reported. The police and detective force were stationed at points through the city in squads of threes and fours. but were not needed.
 A consignment of twenty-five new men were the latest arrivals coming in from New York at S:4S D. m. They were lined up in double file, and with several policemen marched through back streets to the car barns. Some carpenters who were fitting up the quarters for the non-union men at the car barns were yesterday called off by the union. Owing to the opposition shown by the unions to all local dealers selling supplies to the company for the imported men the latter is bringing in all its supplies from New York city.
 Manager SeweIl again promises to op- crate cars tomorrow.
