The Honse, if it is given an opportunity, will vote, by probably a two-thirds majority, to ac cept the Spooner canal proposition as a substitute for the Hepburn Xjicaragua canal bill, and thus clear the way for an early construction of an lifthnrian waterway. Four different canvasses of the membership of the House, agree on this point. And there is now little doubt felt that within the next week the' agree ment between :the Senate and House on the canal bill will have been perfected and enacted into law. This result was foreshadowed v by the announcement by Congressman Hepburn, after the action of the House committee tn interstate and foreign commerce, that the principal thing Regular aoiaier s, ft favor of it; he did. not belief tha) United States sluJfcM abandon the pto- pie of the islands; tha might have been! possible and proper arone tlme,:but not , now. ' Mr. Bromwell of Ohio n4 Mr. Dins- more of Arkansas spoke next. V An eloquent tribute to the valor and worth the soldiers of th regular army was paid by Mr. McCSellafn of .New York amid p-plase from hoth sids of the chamber. "No matter who may be responivbl J for existing conditions in th. Philip? pines," he said, "there can be no differ ence of opinion as to our duty In up holding the army in the task that has been set before it.

It is. so easy to prefer charges against men who are ten -thousand miles way; so difficult for them to make their defense. It -is so easy to accuse our soldiers of dls-; honoring the uniform they wear when ; they are not at home to prove theif In-, nocence.
