THE CANAL COMMISSION.
Action on Nominations Deferred Until
After the HOLIDAYS.

NO effort was made today by the Senate
COMMITTEES on interoceanic canals to hold
a meeting for the purpose of considering
the nominations of members Of the isthmian
canal commission, the combinations OF
which were reconsidered by the Senate yes
terday 1t was agreed by members of the
committee, however, that the nominations
should not be taken up again until after
the holidays on account of the large num-
Der of absentees. The committee will not
be polled to ascertain the sentiment regard
ing the nominations but, If requested, a
hearing will be had at which any senator
may make known his objections to the con-
nrmation OF any one or more of the per-
sons appointed by the President
The action of the Senate yesterday served
to bring the nominations again before that
body, as commissions under the confirma-
tions have not been issued.

that Gov. Higgins action in naming Wads-

an impeachable offense"

81 never knew of such coercion" con-
tinued the senator.
The governor announces himself for
Wadsworth, and then up steps his insur-
ance commissioner, who has retained his
position under considerable difficulties, and
declares that his three men are for Wads-
worth. Then Railroad Commissioner AL
bridge. whom Gov. Higgins appointed late
ly, also announces himself for Wadswsirth,
and the effect of the governors coercion
is evident, is it not?'
Can you say whether you intend to take
steps to impeach the governor?
THAT depends on what more is done in
the matter. / shall hold that in reserve.
The White House today declines to make
any statement in reply to the allegation of
Ex-Governor Odell of New York that tie
President and Governor Higgins of New
York have purposely interfered in the
speakership contest In that state but it is
known that the President has not the
slightest desire to conceal the fact that he
is greatly pleased that SO satisfactory
man as young Wadsworth has been Sc
lected for speaker by the anti-Odeli forces
1.-THE President considers that the party iS
fortunate In having so fine man as Wads-
worth become speaker of the New YORK
assembly,, said man close TO the fres-
ident.
This Is understood to represent the situa-
tion to a dot. The President thinks that
Wadsworth's selection for speaker has
beer the best thing that could happen. NO
admission is made that the President had
a hand in suggesting Wadswerth, but 1t Is
suspected that he knew something of what
was doing.
There does not seem to be any intense
regret at the White House that the issue
has been forced in New York, as the Pres
ident and those who are with him In New
York feel that 1t would have come sooner
or later. The quicker 1t Is forced and Is
over with the less 1t will affect the inter-
ests of the party in the next elections. 1t
Is believed that with the issue squarely
the way. it will not be a long time until
harmony will pervade the party ranks In
the state.
