The Sill Authorizes President to Secure Site and Go Ahead. Washington, Jan. It. -The Hepburn Nicaraguan Canal bill passed the Mouse, late tills afternoon, by practi cally a unanimous vote. Only two members out of 310 voted against it. Kb teller, ltep.. Minn., and Lassiter. XX-rn., Va.. were the two voting in tin negative. The opposition to committing the government to the Nicaraguan route, attempted to seeure amendments to lodge with the President the discretion ary power to purchase and complete the Panama canal, if it mid l**- pur chased for HO.OOn.ftOti. The test came on the first vote, when the advocates of an alternative route polled la; against 170 votes. At each succeeding vote their strength dwindled, until Cannon of Il linois. tinder whose leadership the fight was made, was unable to get the ayes and noes on a motion to Tc-eominit. All other amendments failed and the bill passed exactly as it came from the committee. None of the votes, except that on the final passage of the bill, was a record vote. The debate which preceded the tak ing of the final vote was made memo rable by a clash between Hepburn, the author of the bill, and Cannon, chair man of the appropriation committee. On several previous occasions they have measured swords over canal leg islation. Two years ago a similar bill was passed by a vote of -’24 to 3»>. The bill as passed, today, authorizes the President to seeure from the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in behalf of the United States, control of such a portion of the territory belonging to said states as may be desirable and necessary, on which to excavate, con struct and protect a canal suitable to the wants of modern navigation and commerce, and appropriates such a sum as may be necessary to secure the control of said territory. Section 2 authorizes the President, after securing control of the .needed territory, to direct the secretary of war to construct such canal from the Car ibbean sea. at a point near Greytown, in Nicaragua, by way of Lake Nicara gua. to a point on the Pacific ocean near Brito, and also to construct proper harbors at the termini of said ear.al, and to make necessary provi sions for the defense of the canal and Harbors. Sections 3 and 4 authorize the Presi dent to take such surveys as may be necessary and to employ such persons to construct the canal as may to him seem wise and direct in the construc tion of the canal the river San Juan and hake Nicaragua shall be used as far as they are available. Section 5 authorizes the President to guarantee to the governments of Costa Uica and Nicaragua the use of the canal and harbors, upon terms to be agreed upon, for all vessels owned by said states and by citizens thereof. The last section makes a present ap propriation of *10.000.000 to carry on the work and authorizes the secretary of war to enter into proper contracts for material and work as may l>e deemed necessary, such work and ma terial to be paid for as appropriations may be made from time to time. The section iixes the aggregate cost at *180.000,000, to be drawn from the treasury- on warrants of the President. Adamson, Ga.. the first speaker, urged the passage of the Hepburn bill without amendment. Wooten. Tex., also argued that ihe hill should be passed without amend ment. If the Morris amendment were adopted, he said, t'he canal would be come constitutional project surround ed by doubts and difficulties which might doom its linal completion owing to international policy complications. Wooten said he did not favor an amendment to fortify the canal. He favored a neutral canal. At this point upon the request of Davis. Fla., the time for general de bate was extended until 2.30 P. At. Sparkman. Fla., spoke in favor of the Hepburn bill. Cannon. III., chairman of the appro priation committee then took the floor. His remarks were given close attention. The building of this canal, he said, was a business proposition and should be considered from a business stand point. Gentlemen talked abbut this propost*d canal having been agitated for too years and used that as an argu ment u hy members of Congress should fall over each other to vte for the ponding bill. Personally he had favor ed a canal for years, but because he had not been willing to proceed with out information and against a fixed treaty law he had been called hard names. Cannon at this point clashed sharply with Hepburn, who is in charge of the bill. Cannon crlicized the Iowan for with holding his speech from the record and Hepburn, characterizing Cannon’s cri ticism as “querulous and for an im proper purpose" stated this he had on ly exercised a private custom exercised by members. But he offered then and there to give Cannon the speech and sent it over to him by a page. Can- j non declared that In hia recollection a member presenting a great measure to undertake a work that was to last for the centuries having never pursued Mich a course. He declared it was not decent parliamentary procedure an.l when Hepburn made some quick reply he observed amid laughter that If the gentleman from Iowa was only as straight forward as he was "flip of (Continued on IW* ARRAMiK VOI R SPRING TRIP TO THE WEST SOW.

Washington, Jafi. ».—The Post, to morrow. will say: The case of Rear Admiral Schley is now being consid ered by the attorney general for the pm pose of discovering whether there was any illegality in connection 'with the court of inquiry. It is understood that at the recent conference between the President and Rear Admiral Schley the latter pointed out some alleged vio lations of law in regard to the court and these matters have been deemed worthy of examination. The attorney genera) is not to pass upon the merits of the case, but will deal solely with its legal phase. If he shall find that the court was properly constituted, that the precept was le gally drawn and that the rules of law were followed as to the evidence, it will then be within the province of the President to consider the case upon its merits. If the attorney general decides that there were illegalities as claimed by Admiral Schley, the verdict of the court is vitiated. It is understood that Admiral Schley’s future course con cerning a formal appeal in writing to the President will depend very largely upon the decision of the attorney gen eral. THE LIBERTY BELL Arrives at Charleston. S. C.. and Is Taken to Exposition Grounds. Charleston, S. C.Jan. S.—The Liberty bell, under the escort of Mayor .Ash bridge and the delegation front the Philadelphia council, arrived, today. I The train was met at the station by Mayor Smytlie and the board of alder- j men of Charleston and President Wag. i gener and the directors of the Charles ton Exposition Co. A detachment of regulars from the artillery post and several companies of marines of the camp at the Exposition with a regi ment of militia was drawn up at the station when_the train bearing the bell rolled in. As the bell was lifted from the Mat car a salute of 13 guns was tired. The historic relic was placed on a decorated truck but It was found that the wagon would not bear the weight and the bell had to be taken to the grounds by rail. At the Exposition grounds Mayor Kmythe extended a formal welcome to the bell and its escort and Mayor Ash bride responded. Several brief ad dresses were made and patriotic airs were sung by 2000 school children. The bell will be placed In the Philadelphia building.

Engineer at Fault Shown to Be C; re fill but of Short Experien:e. The Injured Doing Well-Brave Tom Mue in a serious condition. It may be necessary to amputate one of his lops. Everett Cooper, the lfi-year-old b«>> whose lep was broken and who was horned, was improvinp. today. Alliert W. Adams, a carriape manufacturer of this fits', whose lep was out off above Hi., knee and who was hurt on tilt head was worse, today, and the doctors at the New York hospital where he was taken, yesterday, said they were anx ious eoneerninp him. The date or the inquest has not been fixed, but it probably will be bepun some day, next week. At the Grand Central station it was said, today, that as the district attor ney had eomtneneed an investigation to determine the cause of. and responslbi:. ity for the wreck, tin- railroad officials had postponed their invest ipation and would present all the facts in their possession to the county prosecutor. Mrs. Ar.nie Wlscbew. wife of the en gineer. accompanied by two attorneys from the law department of the New York Central Railroad, paid a visit to the Tombs, this afternoon, and had an interview with the prisoner. None of those present was willing to talk of the interview. The district attorney's inquiry wap held behind closed doors. Mr. Jerome I presided. He said he would give out such parts of the testlmony-aa might be made public at the end of each ses sion. The state railroad commission decided to co-operate with the Uistric attorney and to abandon the plan for a separate investigation. John Wisohew. the engineer of the White Plains local which ran into the South Norwalk train, was said to be in a state of almost complete nervous col lapse, today. He refused to see any one. The warden of the Tombs, where he was taken a prisoner, yesterday, said the man had not yet obtained counsel. Another investigation probably will be made by President Cantor of the borough of Manhattan. Mr. Cantor said, today: “I will confer with the corporation counsel regarding my au thority over tunnels exclusively used by railroads. I am not fully satisfied as to my power in this matter and as thee are three investigations being made by the district attorney, coroners and state railroad commission, I thought it best to find out my author ity before I attempted an Investigation of my own. "My opinion is that if electricity had been used by the railroad, ihe accident would not have happened. "I visited the scene of the wreck at 9.30 last night. I watched the trains passing through the tunnel. The vol umes of smoke from the locomotives filled the tunnel so tht It was Impossi ble to discern the lights.” The investigation was adjourned at 1 o'clock for luncheon. After the ad journment Mr. Jerome, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Garvan and State Rail road Commissioner Raker had a con ference over the evidence taken. Five witnesses were examined during the forenoon session. They were Division Supt. Franklin. Hraketnan Barnum. Engineer Doherty and Fireman Sweehey of the Norwalk train, and Fireman Fyler of the White Plains lo cal. They all preserved secrecy about what had transpired behind the closed iloors. When the investigation was conclud ed in the afternoon, Mr. Jerome in itounced that, as far as the evldenc i\ hloh Is to he submitted to the coroner it the inquest is.concerned, the investi gation practically has been conclude:!. fJe added, however, that the Investiga tion will be carried on for some tlm (Continued on page 8.»

It regulates the organs, cleanses the system effectually and purifies the blood.

He hail im pugned had motives to no one, but lie be lieved that forces were working for de lay. "I do not impugn the motives of the gentleman from Illinois,” said he, "when he says he is in favor of this canal, lit a parliamentary sense 1 am convinced, yet. I am free to confess, that only 111 obligations of parliamentary law would convince me when I remember that lit has invariably been a stickler for delay." Hepburn then proceeded to review Can non's record on canal legislation to show that his declarations of friendship did not harmonize with his constant course of hostile delay. He repeatedly tlrew ap plause and laughter as he loosed hi shafts of sarcasm against the chairman of appropriations. Cannon seemed to take it all good naturedly, joining in the laughter provoked at his own expense. Hepburn said that Cannon posed as a business man. yet, saiti he. he wanted to pay $411 nou.imii for something the commis sion said was worth $27,000,000. With re gard to the alleged claims of the Mari time Canal Co., which the gentleman from Illinois discovered in the “pale moonlight," the commission repotted that they had already been extinguished. in conclusion, Hepburn said it was Ins opinion that the House should pass th pending bill. He did not pretend that it was as perfect as it would have been had it been drawn by the gentleman from Illinois with his fund of inexhaustib.e wisdom. Addressing the Democratic side, he read the plank in the Kansas City platform pledging the party to the Nicaraguan ca nal. "That.” said he amiti laughter, “is I in my opinion, the most respectable dec laration in the platform." "There are reports in the air,” said he.

The choice might hinge upon the attitude of one man, and no man, lie declared, should be placed in such a po sition with $40,000,110(1 in the balance. The bill was read for amendment under 5-minute rule. hackelford, Mo., offered the amend nt to authorize the President to deter ne the choice of routes as between •aragua and Panama, if the property 1 franchises of the Panama Co. cpul-l procured for $40,000,000.

It is understoo that there have been no recent developments in the case of Miss Stone, but the ran som money has been posted (temptingly ar.d it is believed that it will be only a question of a short time before the kidnappers conclude to accept it. The Senate committee on military affairs, Thursday, unanimously agreed upon a report on the case making charges against Lieut. Col. H. O. S. Heistand of the army, and the report was presented to the Senate by Sena tor Cockrell as soon as that body con vened. The report contains a concise statement of the facts in the case as brought out by the inquiry and casts no reflection upon any of the officers of the government whose names were mentioned in connection with the case. Garcia Merou, Argentine minister in Washington, has just received the fol ic wing cablegram from hisgovernment: “Argentine Minister, Washington: I have the honor to communicate to your excellency that the minister of Chile in Buenos Ayres presented, yesterday, to this department a note of the proto col about policies, in the same sense which was given to it by this govern ment. JVith this explanation, all these incidents are definitively terminated. (Signed) Alcorta, minister of foreign affairs.” Although the officials of the war de partment will make no official state ment regarding the reason for the sus pension of Miguel Gener from the office of mayor of Havana by order of Gov. Gen. Wood, it is learned on authority that such action was the result of an investigation into Mayor Gener's con duct in relation to political affairs in Cuba in general and the recent Presi dential elections in particular. No fru ther information on the subject is forthcoming here beyond the admis sion that the action of Gen. Wood in this matter has the approval of the secretary of war. Although without further communi cation from Niu Chwang respecting the trouble "between the sailors of the Vicksburg and the Russian soldiery, the navy department officials are confi dent that there will be no serious out come. As it is, the Vicksburg must re main where she is for the winter, being ice bound and for the same reason It Is impossible to send another ship from There is no intention of withdrawing the Asiatic squadron to take her place. United States representation at Niu Chwang which is a treaty port belong ing to China at which American inter ests are as important as at any port in North China. Secretary Root was heard, Thursday, by the House committee on military affairs, concerning army legislation. It led to an interesting general statement by Mr. Root concerning conditions in the Philippines, in the course of which he said that the presence of the army in the islands was a strong factor in maintaining the civil administration which has been sent up. He said that if the measures proposed by Senator Lodge and Representative Cooper were acted on by Congress, he believed the army in the islands could be reduced materially below the present 40.000. The secretary favored the abolition of the army transport service. He stated that the emergency item of $1,000,000 had got into the estimates by inadvertence and at his suggestion the item will be omitted from the bill. The first financial measure of impor tance, to lie reported to the House is that agreed upon, Thursday, by the committee on coinage weights and measures, providing for the mainten ance of the legal tender silver dollar at a parity with gold ami for the Increase of the subsidiary silver coinage. The measure was introduced by Represen tative Hill of Connecticut. It was con sidered last year in Congress and at tracted widespread attention among bankers and financial authorities. Hill urged immediate action, in order that the bill might be brought before the House at an early day. This was opposed by the Democratic qjembers, who were against the bill on Its merits and protested against what they al leged to be undue haste. Shafroth, Colorado, sought to have the vote de ferred one week, in order that Alex ander Delmar, a writer on economic subjects, might bo heard. This was voted down, as were all other motions to defer action and the committee by a party vote, ordered the bill reported. It authorizes the coinage of subsidiary silver coin without regard to limit and as public necessity may require. The most important feature of the bill for the parity of gold and silver dollars, is as follows: ‘‘The secretary of the treasury is hereby directed to maintain at all times at parity with gold the le gal tender silver dollars remaining out standing; and to that end he is hereby directed to exchange gold for legal tender silver dollars, when presented to the treasury in the sum of $3 or any multiple thereof: and all provisions of law for the use or maintenance of the reserve fund In the treasury hereby made applicable to the exchange of le gal tender silver dollars."

AUGUSTA PROOF. WINTBROP STREET. Mr. E. H. Hilton, working for Mr. Parrott of 90 Winthrop street, says: “A very severe ease of grip a few years ago left me with serious kidney com plications. After a long and severe ill ness a druggist did me the greatest kindness of advising me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I procured a box at C. K. Partridge’s f >ld Reliable drug store, was greatly benefited, continued the treatment anil the benefit continued until not a vestige of the trouble was left. This rapid cure was very wonder ful, inasmuch as when 1 commenced the use of the remedy I was in such a bad condition that I was forced to void the secretions every few moments and was absolutely unable to control them. I have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to very many and I know they have done others much good.” GAGE STREET. Mrs. Thus. Q. Pease of 10 Gaffe street, says: “The lapse of time, and it is now over two years anil a half since Mr. Pease took a course of the treatment prescribed by Doan's Kidney Pills, was cured, and allowed his statement to be published in our Augusta papers, 1 re peat lapse of time has only proven that Doan’s Kidney Pills are a remarkable remedy and that the cures affected by them are radical. Mr. Pease and my self will be only too pleased to confirm the opinions expressed above in a per sonal interview."

i ARSENAL STREET. Mrs. C. B. Healrt of 32 Arsenal street, says: “I was a sufferer from serious kidney trouble for a long time, and had about exhausted 'hope of ever being benefited when I chanced to learn about Doan's Kidney Pills. Mr. Heald got me a box at the Old Reliable drug store, C. K. Partridge, opposite the postofflce. Its use helped me and a second box brought still greater im provement. The treatment by Doan's Kidney Pills has saved me many times the amount I spent for the remedy. My trouble is. I think, of too long standing to hope for a permanent cure, but the irreat relief I have obtained from Doan's Kidney Pills warrants me in re •ommending them to others.”

CHILD STREET. Mrs. Phoebe Cyphers of 2G Child Rtreef. says: “I think more of Doan's Kidney Pills today than I did when I gave for publication a statement in the with" Char 1S!'6’ ,ab°Ut my exPericnce Uththat remedy which I procured at C. Iv. Partridge’s Old Reliable drug store opposite the postotlice. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of twinges across my back, stopped the torture that occurred when stooping, and toned up m> physical condition wonderfully The cure was not imagination for dur ing the two years and a half which 'have elapsed, there has not been a trace of my old trouble.” GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR.

In another part of this issue will be found a recommendation by Governor Mill, that January "9th. the birthday of the late William McKinley, be ob served as "McKinley day." The purpose is not to make the day a holiday, but to have especially in the public schools some exercises commem orative of the life and public services of William McKinley. Xever in the history of the Republic has it had at the head of Its govern ment. a truer Christian gentleman, or a tlner type, of the upright, progres sive, patriotic American citizen. Surely any intelligent teacher, who gives the life of this great man. even the most casual study will have no difficulty, in deriving therefrom prac tical lemons that will be as valuable, as stimulating and as lasting in their impressions upon the young, as any lhat could possibly be found in the pro scribed text lsaiks. We agree fully with the suggestion of Governor' Hill that It would be Well on tills day to permit tile children in the schools to contribute any sum they may wish to. be it ever so small, to wards the fund which is being raised for the erection of a suitable monument i over Hu- remains of thu» all V brave in th*- absence of danger, and unselfish when no sacrifice is made. The victory of Montague Lessler, Republican, over Perry Belmont, Dem ocrat, in the special election in the 7th district of New York is a notable tri umph for decency in politics. Belmont, who does not live in the district any way. tried, by the use of his millions to buy the seat made vacant by the resignation of a Democrat who had been elected by 5000 majority. He spent his money like water, but he stays in private life. New York decid ed that one Belmont in Congress is vernor and council. Here's a choice bit of sarcasm from Editor Eaton of the. News: “During these long and cold winter evening.-; comes the time When the patient house wife sits down ltetween the cook. sto\> and ifhe family lamp and sews together a nuilt which is comjKwed of just W.ijt different piece* Next fall she will take this qufltito the fair and win pay flora ticket, and will spend three days at the fair to Recur? a card of blue pastelMianl, which will entitle her to a premium or 50 cents. And In this manner the State of Maine spends thousands of dollars every year 'for the t*ncouragetnent of agriculture.' An Auburn druggist tells the follow-, 1 iiiK story about a young man 'who I (i ened a drug store in Portland some time ago: "he always had a supply of postage stamps on hand, and he ob served that upon nearly every after-1 noon a young lady purchased a stamp lot' him. She never patronized him in |any other way. After she had been in the store every day for about thr, e weeks he made the remark to her that "he must have considerable corres pondence to attend to. 'Oh. no,' she replied, ‘only when I see a young man about to enter upon a business career T like to favor him with my patronage, thus giving him encouragement.’ Speaking of selling postage stamps r-mirtHs us of a little happening at the tecent meeting of a woman's elub in Portland. One member had informed I th others that Mr. Walter I. Drew at his sub-station, which all knew to be a branch of the postofflee was selling 13 postage stamps lor a cent and a quart er. They could not understand how it could be possible and pondered over the subject for several minutes before their tormentor informed them that a “cent and a quarter” was 36 cents so that there was :n-> danger that Postmaster Drew would be forced out of business right away on account of the sale. Mining operations on Simpson's is land. near KllsWorth. under the direc tion of II. P. Getty, mining engineer, are being conducted on quite an exten sive scale, some 20 men being actively engaged mining copper ore. largely mixed with silver, which yields about *25 to the ton. The main shaft has been sunk a distance of 125 feet and has reached a most paying lead. The blasting operations are conducted on the latest improved way by electricity and the amount of ore taken fiom the mines daily is satisfactory to the stockholders. The men are com fortably housed and well fed, and are putting in some good work. Commu nication to the island is made by the steamer Goldmark during the winter months. In the spring the company intends putting on a steamer of their own when operations will be conducted on a much larger scale, diamond drills, crushers and other expensive machin ery being added to the plant, which will enable the company to put some fin ished products on the market early in the season. They certainly have cheeky thieves in RUldeford. A resident there waked up one morning to find thnt about half of a stack of lumber, piled near his house, had been removed.6- He was evidently aware that Tiiddeford thieves never do things by halves so Waited up the next night to watch the remainder of the stack disappear. The thief made his appearance on schedule time and was promptly recognized. On Long Island in Itluehill bay, Han ccck, a sheep ranch is to be established by Frank Sibley of Boston. Mr. Sibley has relatives living in the vicinity, and each summer passes his vacations there, and while examining the island last season conceived the idea of pur chasing a portion of it, and devoting it. to the use of sheep. Accordingly he bought 4,000 acres and is now having a huge barn constructed with dimen sions of 150 feet. Then sheep will be bought., including many imported ani mals. to the number of 1000. and al lowed to run and- graze in the pasture land. A keeper will be there to have charge of them, and the barn will be for housing them in storms and cold. Mr. Sibley considers the location one of the best he has ever seen for sheep rajsing on an extensive scale, and in tends making it a remunerative busi V0ICES OF THE PRESS.

To the People of Maine: A national memorial association has been organized for the purpose of col lecting the funds necessary for the erection of a suitable monument at the grave of William McKinley. Auxiliary associations have been appointed by the governors of the various states to co*oi»erate with the national associa tion In this noble work. The Maine Auxiliary Association consists of eighteen members, representing all of the sixteen counties of the State, and is made up as follows: Androscoggin. Seth M. Carter, Au burn: Aroostook, R. W. Shaw. Houl ton; Cumberland. Wm. H. Dow, Oscar It. Wish. Portland; Franklin, J. M. S. Hunter, Farmington; Hancock. R. L. Grindle, Mt. Desert; Kennebec, C. B. Burleigh. Augusta. Chas. F.

Gilman, Foxcroft; Sagadahoc. F. B. Nichols, Bath; Somerset, Joseph O. Smith, Pkowhegan: Waldo. A. I. Brown, Bel fast; Washington. Geo. Curran, Calais: York, C. H. Pi'eseott, Bidde tonl. The work of raising funds in each county is under the immediate direc tion of the member or members repre senting it on the above State commit tee. It is expected that active co-oper ation will be given in the work by lend ing citizens in all the towns of the State. Wednesday,- the 29th day of' Janu ary. will be the f.9th anniversary of the birth of William McKinley. During his eventful and useful life he was very fond of and took a wonderful interest in children. I take the liberty of suggesting that this day be known its ‘•McKinley day" and that at leas1 son^e portion of it be set aside by all the schools of Maine, as will be done in other states of the union, for special exercises appropriate to the occasion, also that each pupU who desires do do so be given an opportunity to contrib ute his or her mite to the McKinley memorial fund. I also suggest that on the Sunday next preceding the £9lh nf January, the churches pay appropri ate tribute to the memory of our late president and that those who wish It may be given an opportunity to help on with iH&ir contributions this great .work that shall testify through the years to come to the love and esteem In which the American people cherish the just fame of one of the greatest men our country has ever produced. The people of Maine should feel a pride in having their State take an j honorable and creditable position in this great work, and should do their full share in making it possible. Con. trlbutionfi may be sent to the member of the county committee or forwarded direct to the treasurer. William H. Dow at Portland. Maine. JOHN F. HILL. Governor of Maine. Dr. \V. H. Hart is.
