If the Morris amendment were mian canal. . . - . adopted, he said, the canal would be-' ! Explaining the amendfo,ent, Mr. Mor come a conditional project surrounded by jris of Minnesota. said it meant to gire doubts and difficulties which might doom 'the President six months and no more ;o it to final failure owing to international political complications. He declared it was rather a strange coincidence that those who now 'wanted " to amend the bill had in the past opposed the passage of auy bill. He regarded the Morris amendment as a modern trojan horse. At this point, upon the request of Mr. Davis of Florida, the time for general debate was extended until 2:30 p. m. Mr. Sparkman of Florida spoke in fa vor of the Hepburn bill. . Mr. Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, then took the floor. Ill j remarks were given close atten tion. The building of this canal, he said. wSs a business proposition aud should be considered from a business standpoint." Gentlemen talked about this proposed canal having beaa agitated . for one hundred years and used that as an i argument why members of Con gress should fall over each other to vote for the pending bill. Personally he had favored a canal for years, but - because f he had not been willing to pro ceed without information and asrainst fixed treaty law he had been called hard names. Mr. Cannon at this point clashed sharply with Mr. Hepburn, who is in charge of the bill. Mr. Cannon criti cized the Iowan for withholding his speech from the Record, and Mr. Hep burn, characterizing Mr. Cannon's criti cism as "qnerukms and. for an improper purpose," stated that he had only.exe. cised a privilege customarily exercised by members. But he offered then and there to give Mr. Cannon the speech and fnt it over to him by , a page. Mr. Cannon declared that in his recol-Ipf-tion a member presenting a great measure to undertake a work that was lo last' for centuries had never pursued such a course. He declared it was not rtpcent parliamentary procedure, and wbn Mr. Hepburn made sattia nnict- reply he observed amid laughter that if I me scnueman rrom Iowa were only as straight forward as he was "flip of toncue he would be a better legislator. Discussing the language .of the bill. Mr. Cannon said that under its "fitful language," full power was given to pay not only Nicaragua and Costa Rica and the Maritime Canal Company their de mands, but also tbe American and Nica raguan Speculators who owned - proper ty along .-the route. He criticised the undue haste of Uie promoters of the NicaTaguan Canal. He wanted to see the protocol that had been recently i-egotiateU He objected to the pro vision that contracts could be made for the whoje work. " Mr. Cannon said that it was doubtful if the war taxes could be removed if the government was committed to such a gigantic enterprise. He said he would yote-for the Morris amendment, ami jf that failed would move to recommit so that the bill could be amended. Mr. DeArmond of Missouri was of the fame opinion as Mr. Cannon that the pending bill should-be recommitted. He could not understand that there wai anything sacred V&bout the measure the inujmaee in the bill was used after which took it out of the line of-usual consideration in .order that the Presi treatmentin the House. Alluding to dent mjg.nt hare the. fullest "and freest the opposition by his political colleagues choice of selection of government em the proposed inclusion of the Panama pioj-ees. On this vote Mr. Cannon ronfe-in the biil ue said he saw no joined the minority, reason for not trusting the President Vandiver of Missouri offered an to negotiate that route as well as the amendment requiring the President to Jucaraguac. f s divide the work into sections, so as to Messrs.

Mr. Canon briefly replied to Mr. Hep burn's charges of hostile delay, deny ing that he or his committee had ever originated a proposition regarding the canal question, but that : such had al ways come upon appropriation bills hy Senate action, over which the House had no control. "And," in conclusion, "I think the gencleman knew it." The amendment was lost, 102 to 170. Mr. Parker of New Jersey offered an amendment leaving the whole matter, route time, etc., to the President, which was also defeated. 03 to 109. A similar amendment was offered by Mr. "DeArmond of Missiouri and was lest without division. Mr. Kehoe of Kenitucky moved to change the word "control" in reference to the canal route to "ownership," ar guing that the American people build ing the canal should own it exclusively. William Aklien Smith of Michigan asked how ownership could -be secured in view of the fact that the constitu tions of the canal states forbade the alienation of a f&ot of ground; they could give only control. Mr. Kehoe (impressively): "Then Mr. Chairman', let them change their con stitutions." (great laughter) 'J. ne motion was Jost. An amendment directing the fortifi cation of th canal offered by Mr. Bur gess of Texas, was lost. Mr. DeArmond' of Missouri humo-J rously called attention to the phraseol ogy of the second eection which made provision to meet the necessfities of vessels passing from Greytown to Brito, but omitted all reference to vessels go ing the other way. He hoped that there was a covert . intention concealed for some good1 and wise purpose to take care "of the opposite going' ships maybe it was intended that the House should provide for the western bouhd vessels and the Senate to look after, the eastern bound. - ' An amendment to the third section, offered by DeArmond, authorizing the President to utilize the services of en gineers iu the employ 'of the govern ment in constructing the canal, was lost CS to 1G3 it being explained) that ed providing that all payments be made upon warrants drawn by the President of the United States. me commmee men rose ana xne om was .reported the House without amendment" except in the one ''instance stated, and that was agreed to.

' ' 1 . - : 1 1 Gommiif ee of Reports Its Mayor and Chief of Police of Elizabeth City Criticized for Ignoring the Committee ' Elizabeth City, N. C, Jan. 9. The committee of citizens, appointed at a public meeting held soon after the mys terious disappearance of Nellie Cropsey, has made a report closing its connection with the unfortunate affair. Incidentally the report severely criticises the mayor and chief of police for persistently ignor ing its offers. of assistance in ferreting out the mystery and tracing the crime to the guilty party. The report follows: At a public meeting held in the Acad emy of Music on Sunday afternoon, De cember .1, 1901, we were appointed a committee for the purpose of investi gating the disappearance of Miss Ella M. Cropsey. i It was the sense of that meet ing that -no effort should be spared in clearing up this dark and awful tragedy, which had in a very large measure par alyzed business, and was" the sole subject of conversation upon our streets. We realized the fa-ct that in this matter we were their servants and should do all in our power to discharge the duties im posed upon us. Immediately after our appointment we met in the office of Ros coe W. Turner and there elected Mr. I.v T. Greenleaf as chairman of the com mittee and Mr. Turner as secretary and treasurer. Recognizing the fact that in this matter all agencies should work to gether for the accomplishment of the end in view, we immediately proposed that we should communicate with Mr. Daw son, the chief of -police, and secure the benefit of his services and ability. Mr. Dawson; was waited on by several mem bers of the committee at "different times and invited and urged to co-operate with us. He positively refused to do so, and from the date of our appointment until this hoilr he has not neither has the mayor" of this city done one single thing to assist us. but have at all times seri ously handicapped our efforts by. their actionsvand manner of treatment. "For this reason we were badly thwart ed in our efforts at the very outset. Not withstanding these things we pressed steadily onward, and- in twenty-four hours had secured" sufficient evidence to hold a party under bond for his ap pearance at the March term of the Su perior Court. "Almost each and every day there would come to us rumors of the young lady being seen at this; .place and that, acd while we were dubious of results, still we recognized the "fact that' it' Was our duty to investigate these things, Which we did. Upon information that a,-party was seen -at Rwky .Mount bea-r--icg a description to Miss Cropsey, we caused- the matter to be .; investigated and found that there was absolutely nothing tangible in it. Reports came Bryan Strikes Back at Republican Charges Lincoln, Jan. 9. Mr. Bryan means to fight any congressional attempt to place indirect responsibility for President Mc Kinley's aissa&sin ation upon himself or the Democratic party. In tomorrow's Commoner he will say: . "If the Republican -members of Con gress follow the' example set by the Republican editors they will attempt to place upon the Democratic party re sponsibility for recent manifestations of the anarchistic spirit ' in the United States. Mf euch charge is made, it must (bot only be met by the Democrats, but it should be met with arguments which will show that the real cause of anarchy is to be found in Republican politics rather than in Democratic epheres. Republican-papers are in the habit of charging the Democrats with rousing passions1 and stirring up hatred, malice and envy. The Democrats, however, beiieve in government and' they show their love of government trying to so improve it that it will command the confidence of all the people. "The New York Sun recently declared that the overthrow of the trusts would cause terrible industrial disasters, 'and the same charge has been made by oth er Republican papers. Suppose some Secretary Root on the Philippine Situation Washington, Jan. 9. Secretary Root gave his views on the Philippine situa tion to the House Committee on Mili tary Affairs today at considerable length. The hearing was on the Army appro priation bill, but the interest -in it was secondary to that displayed by the mem bers in Mr. Root's frank statements re garding the Philippines. Mr. Root said that idleness bred revo lutions and conspiracies, and that the effect of the Spooner amendment, broad ly speaking, was to prevent the em ployment of the Filipinos. The amend ment prohibits the granting of fran chises and the sale or distribution of the public lands. For centuries the P?0?, wcVfhe0 Snan'ish covernment they were compelled to work by those who owned the 'lands, but as the greater part of the lands are owned by the friars, the situation is now changed. The Filipino has no wish to work for' foreign owners of the soil and no chance to work for himself; bo that he worka as fiftle as possible, juet enough to earn sufficient to fi-ed him, and spend the remainder of htytime in idleness and conspiring against reae gov- J ernment.
