CANAL
CAUSES DEBATE
IN BOTH HOUSES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Pan
anna canal was under discussion in
both the house of representatives and
the senate today. The former had
the matter under debate for nearly
six hours. The matter of changing
the methods of administration and
construction of the canal were dis
cussed extensively. The senate dis
cussed the type of a canal that should
be constructed in Panama. Senator
Kittredge, chairman of the commit
tee on interoceanic canals, precipi-
tated the debate by presenting an
adverse report on the Hopkins bill,
authorizing the secretary Of the
treasury to issue bonds to the extent
of $500, 900, 900 for the construction
of the canal Reading a statement
OF the expenditures on the canal up
to date, he declared that the compile
tion of the lock canal would cost
$40O, 900, and insisted a great
mistake was made in not adhering to
the plan for building a sea-level wa
terway, which he said, would be
cheaper than a lock canal.
Senators Foraker and Teller join
ed Kittredge in declaring sea level
canal should be constructed, and
Kittredge said 1t was not too late to
abandon the lock project.

DEMAND OF SHORTS
STOPPED EARLY
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The stock
market lapsed into an apathetic con-
dition again today after demonstra-
tion of futility of attempts to extend
the upward movement of yesterday.
The demand from the shorts who
were left uncovered after the selling
OF last week, was early stopped and
there was no further insight. Outside
the narrow circle of operators, both
the long and short side seemed to be
without attraction. There was a
good deal of interest in the action of
the California legislature on the bill
segregating the Japanese children in
the public schools, regarding which
no news was received during the
stock market session. Bonds were
firm.
