OBSTUCTIONISTS FIGHT
THE NICARAGUA CANAL
Commission Will Not
But Action Will Be
'3 BILL TO BE INTRODUCED BY HEPE.URN
He Regards Construction of toe
Overwhelming Importance and Says Votes Can
Be Had to Pass It.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15 -A special
the Tribune from Washington says: !
- ,
..-oiiv. W. H. Hepburn or
Iowa has Just returned to Washington.
Mr. Hepburn was chairman in the last
house of the committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce the committee
that has charge of the Nicaragua canal
quarantine and railway an;l-selplng
and pooling legislation. He said in an
Interview:
"I shall introduce a Nicaragua
canal bin on the first day of the ses
sion and 111 push It to action. The op
ponent of the canal gained something
in the way of postponement when they
suoceeded In lnu-r?o!tlng In the last
river an.1 harlnH- bill a provision for
a new commission to Investigate all '
the prposed routes across the isthmus.'
The Nlcaraguan route has txvn recent-
ly investigated by aca--eful commission1
which had made m.t elaborate pro-
vision, and submitted a most sntisfac
tiry report, but by contending that :he
Farama route had ben neglected the
postponement of the whole matter was
secured.
"The new reports Inform us that the
committee will not be able to report
at this session. The friends of Pana
ma will, of course, throw all possible
obstacles in the way of tho United
States building the Nicar.tguan canal,
as the construction of the canal will
preclude the building of others. The
Panama commission say that $160,000.
0"0 will be required to finish their canal.
It Is certain that they can never raise
any considerable part of this sum If it
is known that the United States gov
ernment intends to build the Nicara
gua canal.
Other companies, such as the Mari
time Canal Company, the" Cragin-Erie
syndicate and an-xher whose name I
forget, but which operated a steamboat
and railway line across the Isthmus In
the early Ks, also claim Interests. The
Cragln people claim that they hold a
right to a concession that t'k effect
ion October 10 wh-n the Maritime Com
pany's rights expired. Just what value
the alleged concession has. I am not
prepared to ay. For my part, I do not
think the United Stat- nl both-r
about any of these concessions.
"I h?ve no doubt that Costa Rira
and Nicaragua will be g'.iid to give the
United States any territory ami any
rights it may need to pr" rune ar.d
complete the canal. The ran il U-stion
is of overwhelming importance in thej
develo.emeiit of both countries anij.or
llley are anxious to have it built. Thre
is no doubt that '.he house would have
acted at the last session If It could
have come to vote and there !s no doubt
that both branches if congress fav.ir
the enterprise. How much the opposi
tion can (l -la y matters I cannot say."j
"Are you In favor of the prposed
new demand of comri'-n-"?" j
"That matter was (?ono into at tliei
lat session
A namly-r of men w'-re i
heard in It. and I h.e thvy will re
r.ew thrle efforts at the condng session
but I am not prepared to pay how the'
mutter is icgarded by the committee."
"Are von In favor of nn -x e'mlon -
the (luarum'.ti laws?"
"I am, but there is a gr-at diversity
of opinion In the committee on this'1'!'" a nu.-o.,. , ,m. vha'. b-v .,i hi!
point. The southern m-mliers genftral -
ly are willing that the government
should pay the money for a national that he was ab! ; to iais? tn- oior.ey If
system, but th'-y want to select the men! he wlshe, ai;aiii s rit to hi,,,, ihreat

What do you think of the Philip
pines?" "I think congress should take no ac-
tlon at pr-sent. and that the president
should continue to control the Islands
ty military law. Our original colonists
were men far superior to the Filipi
nos: they were skilled and tratred In
self.governm-?nt and yet It tonk th?m
fourteen years and much trouble before
they could work out a constitution and
a government. Ye th Flliplnoa want
to accomplish alV this In fourth
months. No. no: they should wait and
congress should wait until we all
know each o:hr bett.T. We do not

"How about currency legislation?"
' In Iow. we fought the last campaign
on the gold stan lard and the result
was a n;aj.nty gr-oter by i:,0 than
the stat? ever gave In all Its pivvlous
history. Tes. I am In favor of action."
"'What railway legislation do you
recommend .'"
"The house has three times pass-d
th anti-scalping law and the senate
has killed it. Now, I think that we
had better wait for awhile and
see whthr the senate will pass any
such legislation. If it will, the house
will sp?jiily follow suit, I am sure."
AS JONES SEES IT.
Thinks Bryan has Obtained a Splendid
Endorsement and is Stronger
Than Ever.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15. "Ira my opin
ion." says Senator J. P. Jones, of Ne
vada, "William J. Bryan is a much
stronger man today before the people
than he was three years ago. His own
state, Nebraska, has given him a won
derful Indorsement. Tlw republicans
and the gold bugs sent an Immense
lot of money to defeat him, but prin
ciple won against boodle."
"Are you confident Bryan will be renominated?-'
I
stop his ren.ninationj
"Nothing can
and he will be eWctni.
"Is not the country prosperous?"
"Suppose we do have th-se little re-'
vivals of prosperity thf-re is not enough!

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
OPPOSE EXPANSION
FEAR FILIPINO COMPETITION
General Secretary Hayes la His Re
port Finds Nothing to Commend In
Improved Industrial Conditions.
BOSTON, Nov. 15. The g-tieral As
sembly of the Knights of Labor opened
Its seaslon in this city today.
The annual report of John W. Hayee,
the general ec rotary-treasurer of the
Knights of Labor on the condition of
the order waa presented.
He said that In spite of cruelty, de
rision and scorn, for almost one-third
of a cntury, the Knights of Labor had
not only held their ground, but had
grown and flourished. From the re
ports received, both from assemblies
and organizers he felt that he could
conscientiously congratulate the order
upon the proapcrous condition and
hopeful lookout for the future. A most
infamous nnd vicious aaaault upon or
ganized labor had developed In Idaho.
The writ of habeas corpus had been
suspended and martial law declared,
without a shadow of excuse. Over 400
unfortunate men have bem held In
. fM. nlolUn. being cullty of no
crime, except that of attempting to
earn a support without permission of
the military autocrat, because thy
were number of organized labor and
