ileal of speculation at the oapltol today
as to tho conclusion which tho senate com

Senator Hanna Rave it out through his
Impossible at this session Ho has an-
nounced that he Is unwillingtto permit a

ing tho pendency of tho HayPaunccfoto

derstood can not bo made before midsum
mer or after congress shall have ad
lourned Should the administration
more and then because of some alleged
defect In that repot t bring about the ap-
pointment of another commission This is
contingent of course upon the conttnu
auco in power of the IlannaMcKinloy

the White Houne and a republican senate
1 believe there can be no American canal
through Central America
It is quite pofjihle thtt the canal men
In the senate may force a vote which will
put senators on record during this ses-
sion There was favorably reported from
the committee on intcroceunlij canals a
bill similar to the Hepburn bill as It
passed the house That bill Is now on the
scnato calendar As Introduced thei e bills
were dissimilar but ns amended and re-
ported by tho committees they arc sim-
ilar tho only material dtfferenco being
that the senato bill proposes to appro-
priate the whole amount of the estlmntod
tost in a lump sum to be drawn from tho
treasury from time to time as needed
while the Hepburn bill fixes the limit of
tho cost at iho same total 140000000
but appropriates only 10000000 for the
Ural year Penator Morgan can moc to
take up this bill and only nn aye and no
vote can prevent Its consideration by tho
senate Bv this method he can at least
put the senato on record
