C.f Jan. 18,1803. ? Republican lukewarmness was about \ the meet notable feature of the debate i which preceded the passage of the ' Nicaragua Canal bill by the House. ! They did not dare to come out squarely 1 and oppose the bill nor to vote against '. it when the vote was taken, but they talked platitudes, the substance of which was that it was best not to rush into the matter too fast uad that we ought to do some dickering with the agent of the Panama Canal Company, who arrived in Washington. this week and submitted an offer to sell out for $40,000,000. This does not indicate speedy action on the bill by the Senate, unless publio opinion makes things un comfortable for thoso Senators who try to delay action under a pretense of dickering With the Panama agent. The less dickering there is with any of the Panama crowd, the less mud there will be upon Senatorial reputa tions. One of the best of the numer ous short speeches made in the House debate was that of Representative Richardson, of Ala., who said: "The States of the South will be the greatest beneficiaries of the Nicaragua Canal, and none greater than the State of Alabama. It is an increased commerce and trade that the South wants. Give us the Nicaragua Canal and the sharo of the trade of the Orient that we are entitled to, and twenty million bales of cotton raised in the South will not be a surplus, and 5 cent cotton will be come a memory of the past, while 12 eenc cotton will come to our farmers to stay." The Democratic House caucus which was to have been held yesterday was postponed on account of the illness of Representative Richardson, of Tenn., the Democratic floor leader and chair man of the caucus. The Philippine tariff bill has been reported to the Senate and an attempt to Jam it through as it passed the Honse will be made. This will be resisted by all of the Democrats and some of the Republicans, and a lively tight is ex pected. More bankers' legislation is contem plated by the Republicans in Congress, although to an unprejudiced mind they already have the soft side of every financial law on the statute books. Representative Pagsley, of New York, introduced a bill this week providing for the incorporation under Federal law of clearing houses, and giving to one clearing honoe in each 3 t?te au thority to issue currency to the extent 1 of 75 per cent of its appraised value, ' which shall be receivable at par by any bank that is a member of a clearing house. The advocates of this bill, and i they include all the big bankers, say , that it merely changes the clearing house certificates into currency. To a ' man up a tree that seems a rather big change. In fact, it is about the change I that would be secured by changing the < security for a debt from private parties : to the United States government. 1 Mr. Roosevelt attempted to.jolly 1 Rear Admiral Schley into agreeing to i accept the report of the Court of In- i quiry, and not only failed but had.to ) promise that he would receive and . consider Schley's appeal from that re- i port. This appeal will be prepared i t brought roperties in <g>i <ir> uTit tfifciiflib rfiHtfflii tfhiiHiii Bead this tei derson County : EVANS' PH ABl Gents : It g high opinion of Evans' Sarsapari of some years t After I had give f nU tri&?4 and hat found myself not valuable pr?para my delight one b feel that every Evans' Sarsapari ever the cause m to bo founl in the Materia Medi asses anything of this natures ONE HUNDRE )st is several times less, as the cative or cathartic, diurntie- or : bots. $5. and presented in a few weeks, proba bly soon after Schley re tarns from his trip to the South. What action Mr. Kooaovolt wiii take on the appeal is not altogether certain. He has got a better idea of the sentiment of the country than he had, and he may con clude that it will be better to ait down on a member of his cabinet than to appear before the country as a sano tioncr of the persecution of a brave officer. At any rate, if he joins in Schley's persecution he will erect an obstacle in his own path to future po litical preferment that he can never get over. Although it is pretty wc*l understood that Speaker xleudcrsou will not allow any Scbiey bill or reso lution to get befor? the House in away to be voted upon, a number of new ones have been introduced, among them a resolution b) Gen. Hooker, of Miss., tendering the t innks of Congress to Schley for his Santiago victory. Gen. Hooker tried \o get a promise from Speaker Hendereon that his reso lution should be votai upon, but fail ed. The order haa V>en given that no legislation affecting 8chley shall be allowed to get to a vote, which would mean speedy justice. Senator Morgan's resolution, which was adopted by the Senate, may pro duce some sensational developments. It authorizes the committee on an Intoroceanio Canal, of which Senator Morgan ia chairman, to inquire into the relations alleged to exist between the trans-continental railroad com Itanies of the United States and Canada and the Panama Canal Com pany. It is well known that these railroads bave been acting with the Panam*. Canal Company in its various schemes to delay legislation for the construction of the Nicaragua Canal and believed that tLf y have furnished a Bhare of the con siderable amounts of money spent and being spent by the Panama lobby in Washington. Senator Morgan will get at the facts, if anybody can, and he will not be afraid to make them public no matter who they may injure. Speak ing of the matters to be investigated, from a strictly business point of view, Senator Morgan said, just before the Senate voted on his resolution: "It is the most wicked monopoly that ever existed, and has already cost the peo ?de of the Pacific Coast millions of dol ars." It has been hinted at various times that Senator Hauna was opposed to the Nicaragua Canal. This week he show ed his nand, and he is opposed to the Nicaragua Canal, he pretends, for purely business reasons. He is talking up the old Darien route, which in volves the cutting of a tunnel more than six mileB long through a mountain of solid granite, and which was not Bven seriously considered by the ex gsrts who compose the Isthmian Canal ommission, because of its great cost. Now, Mr. Hanna trots the scheme out, and with a straight face professes to believe it the best and cheapest route. This classes him beyond the shadow of a doubt with the obstructionists. Representative Swan son, of Va., took a fall out of Representative Qrosvenor, of Ohio, when the latter tried to have Eun with him by referring to the num ber of Democratic leaders and asking Eor the real leader, in order that he might go gunning for him. Mr. Swan son replied: "Well, we may be a little long on leaders, but we have them.
