The Scrape did not tako up the Nicaragua ("anal hill i i accordance with the resolution adopted at the last ae88ion, because, with the votes of many friends of the Canal bill. The friend- of the Canal hill will wait until the Hay Pauncefote treaty is aced upi n before pushing that Measure. They ray they have the votes pledged to pats it whenever they got ready, and there is no roaeon to rush it now. When Congress is good, it is very good, and it has becn^very good indeed since this sessiou opened. There has not been the slightest wrangle on the floor of either Senate or House, although the latter debated and passed the Administration Army Reorganization bid, providing for a regu\V LI 1UU U uvfvAr - ?rk a 1 AA AAA might have been expected to have aroused the minorty. Doubtleee the failure of the minorty causes to agree upon a party policy had something to do with the calmness of the debate* 1 Some shrewd lobbying is being done 1 in the Senate in the interests those 1 who wieh to prevent action on tbe ? Nicaragua Canal Bill at this session, i and it n being done largely in the 5 name of patriotism. The lobyists have - taken advnntcge of the strong public v sentiment in favor of Americanizing I the Hay-Pornceforro Treaty, not s< > much because they are patriotic, a: t because they saw therein a chance, al a though a slim one, to prevent the pas if sage of the Nicaragua Canal Bill a e this s ssion, and not a few Senator u voted for the Americanizing amend ? ments to the treaty under the impree t> sion that they had given their patrio d tism the benefit of the doubts they en ^ tertained, really did so because of tb 5- iosidious influence brought to bear o them by the lobbyists in the employ c r? Panama Canal Company. Now the u it is certain that the amended treat Q will be ratified by the Seuate, probabl if! Christmas reoess, Whic Is will begin next Friday, the questio II whether it will delay action on tl el Caual bill, is being asked. Secretar :-) Hay expresses the opinion that Eu; a. land will reject the amended treat but that opinion is not held by ac 'is Senators. Should England reject tl treaty, the passage of a joint resoluth pa by Congress, decreeing the Clayto we Bulwar Treaty abrogated is regardi as certain, but all this, as the sli* ids lobbyists very well know, will cc he sume time, and if action on the Can ara is made to wait upon the settleme of the treaty question it will hard )ur take place at this session. Senab who realisse this, are now urging tl in- the Nicaragua Canal bill shall lad taken up and passed, regardless the I treaties and ot wnat omer nam ? a I may have to say about it. uth The proposition to settle the Ceni uld Apportionment question by a cau > to of the House majority, had to nan abandoned, because of the divert 11 is of opinion among the members, i the matter will probably be fou {. out on the floor of the House, a the Census Committee reports its i which is likely to provide for an crease in the House Members! been which will prevent the loss of m 1 by berg by any state.

Judge Benet recounted the history of the proceedings in this matc ter, gave a brief review of the laws ,u: governing such cases both in England and South Carolina and stated that I"1 after a most careful examination of the y very voluminous-testimony whioh had 5r8 been taken and submitted he thought V* that but three of the eleven charges b? against Sims had been established. These three were in substance as fol>U8 lows: That Sims had by undue influence and unprofessional conduct forced 8U* Dr. S. J. Bivings to employ him in the trial for the number ofT. 8. Trimbe mier: that Sims had aided one Herbert ,ily Tucker under sentence for man? ll? slaughter to escape from the custody g of the officer: and Jbat Sims had frequently pent to jail to see if any new prisoners were in and solict said priso* !.n ners to employ him. Judge Benet said P' that there were extenuating cireume.m' stances that mitigate the gravity of the tlve charges made and he then passed an j18118 order suspending Sims from the prao^ f tic of law for six months beginning Januray 1st 1901, The attorneys for '?er' 8ims will apeal the matter to the ?In0 ?uPI^nQ0 ^?urt*?Free I^ance. 1 Just tell them that vou saw it in JSi The Times.
