HOPKINS BILL SENT
TO FINANCE COMMITTEE
Measure Provides for Great In-
crease of Canal Bond Issue

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate
committee on interoceanic canals today
voted to send to the committee on
finance the Hopkins bill increasing the
authorization for the issue of Panama
canal bonds from S135,000 900 to $780,
100000. This action was taken on the
theory that an appropriation in excess
of the amount named in the original act
itself acted to increase the limit of cost
of the Panama canal, and therefore it
was a question which the finance COM
mittee was best qualified to deal with.
The action of the senate will be report
ed to the senate on Monday or Tuesday.
when Chairman Kittridge expects to
make statement dealing with the con-
dition of canal funds and the needs of

Beirut. April 25.--The situation In
Asiatic Turkey is one Of extreme
gravity. How many thousands have
been massacred cannot even be esti-
mated. because the disturbances have
been so widespread that it Is impos-

in the villayet Of Adana reaches APP
proximately $4,000 and thousands have
been done to death in the towns OF

which several Of the places are un-
dergoinS, has brought the inhabitants
to the verge Of starvation. and each
day brings its tales of further atroci-
tics and tho depths Of misery and
despair to which the savagery Of the
fanatics has brought the people.
Several warships are now in these
waters. but the disorders are so far
reaching that the efforts of the pow
ers to restore normal conditions have
as yet hardly been felt. The French
cruiser Jules Ferry arrived here to-
day, and left almost Immediately for

are pouring in. British. French and
