efforts of the young man who was
driving them.
AS they got to the edge Of the side
walk one mule took one side of a
tree and one the other side, bringing
them to a very sudden stop. In stop

SPIRITED DEBATE IN HOUSE.
HObsOn and Keifer Lock Horns Over
Canal Fertilization.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The open
ing guns in the fight Cor the fortifi-
cation Of the Panama Canal were fired
and war talk held full sway during
the first hour Of the session of the
House today, although the postoffice
appropriation bill ostensibly was un-
der consideration.
Representative Keifer, of Ohio.
spoke in favor Of the naturalization Of
the canal. He was replied to by Rep
resentative Hobson, Of Alabama.
Gen. Keifer decalred that the forti-
fication of the canal would be an act
Of war and a violation of all the
treatiec affecting the waterway.
Mr.. Hobson said that in the stress
of war. the stronger power always
sets treaties and international law at
naught.
Gen. Keifer declared that there
could be no peace footing on the 18TH
mus If the canal We're fortified. 1t
would be necessary to keep a war
force there at all times. Mr.. Hobson
said he could not understand how
any American was willing to say that
this nation was too weak to protect
waterway which was wholly an
American proposition and which. if
neutrahzcd, would ley the west coast
OF both North ana South America
the mercy Of European nations
Mr.. Keifer declared that the lat
estimate oi SAG,vVO,OVU Tor the foi ,.-
fication of the canal would not be SUI
ficient. He asserted that it would
cost at least s1OO, 600, 900 to so fortify
the canal so that it could be held
against the attack Of one of the first
class powers of the world.
Gen. Keifer asserted that the Clay
tom n-Bulwer treaty, which still is in
effect. specifically provides for the
naturalization of the Isthmian water
way.
