THE NICARAGUA BILL.
Passed the Senate by a Decisive Vote
of 31 to 21.
The bill pledging the faith of the
United States to do the construct
ion work of the Nicaragua canal
passed'the senate Friday night by
the decicive vote of 31 to 21. It
was the termination of a debate
which has lasted since the present
session of congress began. It was
moreover, the first realization in
either branch of congress of the
vast project so long and vigorously
urged for a canal joining the Atlan
tic and Pacific, with the United
States government standing spon
sor for the execution of the work.
Tho final vote was not secured un
til 6:30 Friday night, but notwith- 1
standing the lateness of the hour,
there was an exceptionally full se
nate owing to the interest felt in
t he culmination of the long discus
sion. The Nicaragua minister and
many other diplomats interested
in the project had seats in the dip
lomatic galleries throughout the
voting on the many amendments
and the final question.
The bill, in brief, directs the is
sue of $70,000,000 Nicaragua canal
bonds. Each of these is to bear
the following guarantee:' r h1
"Tho United States. os'ffinevrica
guarantees to thYlawful holder of
this bond the payment by the Ma
ritime Cnal Company of Nicara
gua of the principal of said bonds
and the accruing interest thereon,
and as it accrues,"
An additional $-30,000,000 of
bonds is to be issued without the
United States guarantee. The total
of $100,000,000 thus issued is to ho
used in constructing the inter oco
anio canal. The secretary .of the
treasury is to have general super- '
vision of the project. A board of
15 directors is to have immedinfrt
charge of the work. The United "
States is to receive $70,000,000 of . .
the canal company's stock, in re
turn for guaranteeing the bonds,
and is to hold a mortgage lien on
all the property of the canal comp
any. .
Senator Raley's Bill.
Senator Raley's Eastern Oregon
insane asylum bill carries an app
ropriation of $140,000, which is
theoretically the . some $140,000
left out of the original appropriation
made last session, of $165,000 after
the $25,000 for the land has been
taken out. It does away with tho
building commission as contemp
lated in the original act and puts
the work in tho hands of the gover
nor, socretary of state and state
treasurer as the asylum board.
The Question of Division.
Persons remonstrating against
division says Umatillla county is
not ready lor division because one
set of county officers is all that can
be supported says the Milton Eagle
without making the burden too
heavy. Yes, when those officers
working for the county on salaries
paid by taxpayers use their- office
to go to Salem to work against div
ision when they should be at home
attending to their official duties.
