Cannon today assured Representative
Jones, of Washington, and Chairman
Burton, of the river and harbor com
mittee, that he will permit them to
call up the Columbia river bill on Mon
day under suspension of the rules.
This is the most satisfactory arrange
ment that could be brought about, for
it means that the bill must be consid-
cred solely on its own merits, and can
under no circumstances be confused OF

Washington, April 16.-Speeches on

to the contrary which were given by

No one has at any time count d upon

he added that bis opinion was concurr-

The day was one of the most notable

and have lost no opportunity to deny
that they themselves are unduly friend

tions. Up to the present session,
whenever there was talk of corpora

sensitive; they did not jump to their
feet then to continually disclaim any
