A NATIONAL MEASURE Tiie Bill to Protect the President Passes the House. CANAL BILL TAKEN UP BY THE SENATE Mr. Harris of Kansas, .an Engineer of Ricogniz ed Abiliy, Favors the Nicaragua Route Holding That it is Entirely Feas blc. (By tho Associated Tress.) Washington, June 9.—An interesting contribution to the discussion of the Isthmian canal project was made in the Senate today by Mr. Harris, of Kansas, a member of the committee on Inter oeeanic Canals, who is also an engineer of reccgnied ability. His discussion of the technical details of canal construction was listened to with profound attention. He strongly advocated the selection of the Nicaragua route. He maintained that it was entirely feasible and practi cable from an engineering standpoint and said that some of the difficulties presented by the Panama route were in superable—notably the construction of the Bohio dam. During the early part of the session the Naval Appropriation Bill was con sidered. All of the committee amend ments were disposed of except that re lating to the construction of two addi tional battleships, two cruisers and two gunboats. Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, ad dressed the Senate in support of the bill for. the. establishment of a national for ce i r ■ tv:' in the Southern Appalachian mountains. He -explained that ten forest reserves had been established in the United States, none of them east of the Mississippi river. He said tjie estab lishment of the ten forest reserves in the West was made from the public do main, while cash would have to be paid for this proposed reserve. He did not believe, however, that there was any difference between appropriating cash from the treasury and appropriating prop erty of the Government. Mr. Simmons said it had been sug gested that there might be some “job" in the pending bill. This he knew was not true and there was r.n foundation in fact for the suggestion. .he measure was essentially national in character and it was advocated as a national proposition. At the conclusion of Mr. Simmons' speech consideration was begun of the Naval Appropriation Bill. A committee amendment was offered by Mr. Hale ar 1 adopted appropriating i'C. r )7,3C0 for the construction of build ing at tl ■■ Oh a Uston, S. C., navy yard. The naval ’ill was laid aside and Mr. Harris addressed the Senate on the Isthmian canal project. Mr. Tillman inquired how the lands ne(•••seas v f ,r the Nicaragua route were to bo obtained if they w r ere owned by private individuals. “Is the Government to be subjected to such private claims?” he asked, “in other words, have Ameri cans gone down there and fixed tip things so that wo will have to pay mil lions and millions of dollars for the right of way?” “The treaty with Nicaragua,” Mr. Harris replied, “provides for a condem nation of the lands where private rights are involved.” Mr. Culberson, of Texas, inquired how much would have to be paid by the United States for private rights along the canal. Mr. Harris replied that, so far as he knew, no data upon that subject had been prepared and no estimate made. In response to a suggestion by Mr. Tillman that the United States was like ly to be mulcted of millions of dollars, Mr. Morgan interrupted to say that by an arrangement with the Nicaragua Government, in the event of the adop tioi of tiie Nicaraguan routp all acqui sition of land by the United States would date back to the conditions which pre vailed in December, 1900. That would preclude absolutely speculation in the land along the route. Mr. Tillman again expressed his ap prehension that speculators had obtained or would obtain title to lands that would be necessary to the United States if the Nicaragua route were selected. He was afraid ’heso claims would spring up in the pathway of the Waited States "with hands outstretched toward the Treasury with the demand to stand and deliver.” Mr. Harris replied that in view of the diplomatic arrangements between the United States and Nicaragua no such apprehension as that suggested was war ranted, although, in a project of this kind and this magnitude it was impos sible, perhaps, to guard absolutely against frauds of the kind suggested. Mr. Morgan discussed briefly the diplomatic negotiations between the T'nited States and the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to show that neither Nicaragua nor Costa Rica could have claims against this Government through the old Maritime Canal Com pany. He pointed out that it was Through the wisdom "and foresight of William McKinley that the United States had acquired the exclusive right to construct a canal through Nicaragua and The News andObservet*. Costa Rica and lie declared that this “was one of the most magnificent acts ever performed by a President of the United States.” It had cleared the way for the construction of the canal and those two southern nations were bound tty the agreement until this Congress should take action upon the canal com pany.

BEER'S MARKET LETTER. (Special to News and Observer.) New Orleans, La., June 9.—Early Liv erpool advices were disappointing, but our market opened 1 to 2 (joints higher on near months and 6 points on late, ] owing to the absence of rain throughout I tho belt over Sunday. Tho subsequent i firmness in Liverpool, coupled to reports from Texas that rain was beginning to be badly needed caused an additional im provement of 6 to 9 noints. After this demand subsided selling to realize occa sioned easiness, making the net gain on tho day 4 to 6 points on obi crop months and 5 to 1 points on new. ihe weekly weather report, which will be issued to morrow' is expected to be less favorable, i Berlin cables state that the American financial situation caused renewed con cern and particularly as a result of ru mors of disagreements in the manage- . ment of the United States Steel Corpora- ' tion. The “Galveston News ’ issued a crop statement today for the State of Texas, reporting a reduction of 1 9-10ths per cent in acreage and the boll weevil is reported in thirty-seven counties. Manchester cables state there were no signs of the anticipated improvement in , the cloth market last week. The effec- { tive demand from China was limited, and the Indian enquirer was largely imprac- I tieable. Weather conditions will con- I tinue to regulate values. If rains soon take place in Texas values will probably decline and on the other hand a con tinuance of dry weather in that State may force prices higher. 11. & B.
