Hepburn, of the house committee
on interstate and. foreign commerce,
today submitted the report of the com
mittee in favor of the Hepburn bill,
kr constructing the Nicaragua canal.
The report says: ' r v
"The; estimates of the cost are varia
ble, ranging, a they do, Xrom less than
$46,000,000 to possibly $145,000,000. r It
is, however, proper to say that the size
and character "of the , canal I estimated
for is" as variable as the! cost, . At pres
ent $1.55 per ton is the (toll Charged for
the use of the Suez carta. If that rate
iwas the fate charged ot the Nicaragua
canal, . and 4,000,000 be the tonnage
passing through it annually, an aggre
gate of more than $6,000,000 would be
the receipts. Jt is estimated that the
cost tbf maintaining and operating the
canaS would be $ 1 ,000.000 annually."
Speaking of the concessions .from
Nicaragua and Costa. 'Rica, the report
says: . I ' :- j " m
' "It is believed by your committee
thatuhese rights have either lapsed, or
are of inconsjdenable value, or have been
obtained : for , speculative 4 purposes.
However this may be. It should le the

believe." rt 1
After quoting The Clayton-Buhver
treaty, the report goes on: 1 s
"Great Britain has allowed fifty years
to elapse without any : movement on
her. part to carry out the provisions of
that article. It has been a dead letter
from the day the treaty was-signed to
the present. In 1868 the United States
and Nicaragua exchanged ratifications
of 'the treaty of friendship, 'commerce
ind navigation. It gives to the United
States the right to , send its forces into
Nicaragua to defend the citizens of the
United States and their property, the
property in contemplation being the
Nicaragua canal. The use of the mili
tary force always implies the fight to
establish ' fortifications for: defensive
purposes." ' " .';)'!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. In the
Clark investigation, todays Senator
Clark was called to the stand. His
aprpearence caused a ripple of interest
throughout the room. After 1 being
sworn, the senator took his seat quiet
ly and Faulkner began his ; questions,
the first of which brought out facts
concerning his career, political and
otherwise, in -Montana. ,' Coming; down
to the campaign of 1808, the witness said
he had entered it at the soficition of
a number of friends "who asked-me to
help thorn organize the state against
what is called the 'Daly power,' j which
I agreed to do with their aid and as
sistance" In reply to a suggestion fmm Sena
tor Chandler. Clark said he had writ
ten a letter to the republican caucus
of the Montana legislature,; outlining
his attitude on the tariff. i
I He said that lie had takert the pa-si-
on the various articles; he thought that
raw material-s should i be provided ; fori
and shared in "the advantage of a tro-'
tective tariff to the extent of materials
produced in our own state, such as
wool, lead, hides and barieyi." Speak-i-ng
of the reptiblican votel cast for
him, Clark said he had told all 'repub
4ican members of the legislature that he
would not accept their votes if they
would insure , his election ! unless he
could get a majority l of the republican
caucus. His reason was that to accept
fewer than "a: majority of the caucus
would subject' them to, the accusations
of arcepting bribes! ; M .; -
"There . was. sg mucli' scandal I at the
(time," he said, "that I thought it Tight

predicts that if such losses continue

it is -nguered that more than 100.000

have continued to the month of Oc
