ritorial acquisition. The Senate committee
will be invited to go also. and Mr.. Hop
kins of Illinois, one of its members, told
the President that he thought his asso-

four years ago, and strongly urged by
President Mckinley, who offered to pro-
vide a government vessel for the trans
portation of the party. 1t was then pro-
Nicaraguan. and the vessel was to go down
from San Francisco on the Pacific side.

plan fell through before because SO many
members backed out as the time for start
ing drew near. President Roosevelt today

ley had made four years ago of every possl-

called that his opposition at the last session
killed the civil government bill, which the
Senate had passed, leaving authority wholly
in the hands of the President That grant
Of authority expired by limitation on
March 4, but Colonel Hepburn expresses
himself by no means convinced that II
should not be renewed. He wants the
committees to study governmental reia-
tions at close hand.
