Omaha tomorrow and will not return 10
washington until January 5.
Senators Miuard and Burkctt had an IN
formal meeting today regarding various
candidates for district attorney. II L. SAID

upon to recommend. AS stated the matter

Canal May lie Built by Contract.
Senator Mllard Of Nebraska, chairman oil
the senate committee on intcroceamc ca
nails. today said that in his opinion the
Par anna canal eventually will be built by
contract.
My committee now is divided on this
point but l feel certain it will, in the end
adopt this plan of construction
AS further indication that congress Is
preparing to take hold of the canal work
over the heads of the Isthmian Canal com
mission, the older statesmen of the senate
have decreed that the interoceanic canal
committee work shall be divided Such
legislative measures or reports as refer
to foreign relations shah go to the foreign
relations committee; to appropriations, To
the appropriations committee, and To
finance. to the finance committee. 1t is eX-
pected that the president will leave it to
congress to decide the type of canal to be
built.
If Senator Millard's suggestion that the
canal be built by contract is adopted, the
Isthmian Canal commission will be little
more than a board of estimates with
consulting engineer to see that the work
done on the canal is up to contract. There
is also disposition on the part of some, in
the event this is done, to abolish the com
mission entirely and turn the work over
to the army engineers.
