Washington ,Feb. 28. That Congress
man Geary's Nicaragua canal bill has
died is something more than mere seem
ing. The measure through which the
Pacific coast hoped so much has beea
hopelessly shelved.
Representative Gearey is, perhaps,
more disappointed than any other mem
ber of the house, at the failure of the pet
scheme to become a law. He has de
voted more attention to it than to almost
anything else during his last two years
in congress, and was confident at the
beginning of this session that the 4th of
next March would see it enacted into a
law.
He says : "The present house bill was
given more study than any other meas
ure of this sort that has ever been in
troduced in congress. The faults and
loopholes which had crept into the
senate bill were all corrected, and there
was absolutely no chance ' for jobbery.
It was a clean, honest measure, I can
only attribute its failure to- pass to one"
thing. The present company was not
given a large bonus for- concessions
which they demanded and preferred to
take their chances in another congress.
They have had a strong lobby here who
have done effective work against us.
principally among the delegations al
ready prejudiced against any sort of a
cabal across Central America. I pre
sented a petition to the rules committee,
igned by about 150 members, but it did
not have the desired effect? they mak
ing the excuse that they could not gie
the time so near the end of the session
I would have been satisfied if they had
only given us half a day, and am . per
fectly confident that the bill would have
passed.'"
The chairman of the commerce com
mittee, representative Wise, of Virginia,
while he has been a strong advocate of
the canal, has left the matter largely in
the hands of McCreary and Geary, be
lieving that they could take care of it.
He is satisfied that they have made the
best fight possible under the circum
stances, and does not attribute its fail
ure to any lack of perseverance on their
part. He is as ' much disappointed as
they at the failure of the matter to come
up, as he had prepared an elaborate
speech favoring the canal, and has had
it in his desk for months waiting for the
bill to come up.

of $2,639,798 from the total carried by
the bill as it passed the house.
Two Blilllons Pared Off.
Washington,' Feb. 28. The senate
committee on appropriation did not in
clude in the deficiency bill an appropri
ation of $425,000 for paying claims to
Canadian sealers. It is expected that
an amendment will be offered in the
senate. Senator Morgan, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, says be
will not offer it, nor will he call a meet
ing to consider it. "I will vote against
it," said he. "It is a proposition con
taining neither merit nor anything else
to commend it. .
The appropriation committee has also
amended the naval appropriation bill so
as to provide for two battleships instead
of three, and six composite light draft
gunboats and three torpedo boats. One
of the torpedo boats, it provides, shall
be built on or near the Pacific coast. ' It
also reduces the appropriation for reserve
guns for cruisers at the Mare island yard
$40,000, and for the drydock at Puget
sound $70,000. There is a reduction of
$450,000 "in the house appropriation for
In the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 28. The deficiency.
appropriation bill - was reported to the
senate today, leaving only the naval bill
before the committee.
Consideration of the sundry civil bill
was resumed. An - amendment was
agreed to appropriating $300,000 for seed
for the drought sufferers in the North
west.-'
Stewart moved to reconsider an
amendment, already adopted, for the
participation of the United States in an
international monetary conference, and
proposed an amendment instructing the
United States delegates not to agree to
any ratio below 16 to I. ' He said France
was the only European country in a pos
ition to take part in such a conference
with any prospect jof doing fairly by
silver.
Wolcott greatly regretted this division
of opinion among senators from the sil
ver states. Success was almost at hand.
The senator declared himself for Ameri
can bimetalism, but if the nations of the
world united in offering the greatest ad
vantage to Bilver it had received since its
demonetization it would be criminal to
cast it aside.
Stewart again took the floor, denounc
ing the proposed conference as "a trade
with our oppressors." Whatever others
might do, he never would consent to
such a scheme. Stewart's motion to re
consider was defeated yeas 9, nays 52.
The affirmative vote was Allen, Black
burn, Call, Cockrell, Kyle, Martin,
Peffer, Pogh, Stewart. The negative in
cluded leading silver men, such as Teller,
Jones of . Arkansas, George, Wolcott,
Cameron. ,
' In the Hoase.
' Washington, Feb.28. Representative
Caminetti reported to the house a pro
posed amendment to the existing law
permitting the granting of a right of way
on public domain to the extent of 25 feet,
together with use of necessary grounds,
not exceeding 40 acres, to any citizen, or
association for the purpose of generating,
manufacturing or distributing electric
power. "In California and elsewhere,"
says the accompanying report, "small
towns and cities in the valleys can util
ize eiectric light and power at a mini
mum cost if allowed right of way across
government lands to the foothills."
