NEW YOniC, March 21. Among the pas
sengers who arrived today on board the
steamer Flnanco from' Colon were General
Haines and Edward Noble of tho isthmian
canal commission, Lieutenant It. L. Dclknap
of tho United States navy and Henry N. Al
len. Oeneral Haines rushed from the boat to
take a train for Daltimore. Commissioner
Noblo will remain In this city for a day or
iwo nnu tnen join General Haines in Wash-
lngton.
Commissioner Noblo said that they did
not bring with them any portion of the re
port, but they might bo called on to go be-
roro tno congressional committees. Seven
of tho commissioners, ho said, nro now In
Costa Wen, ono of tho objects of their visit
being to call upon tho president of that stato
and find out what concessions can bo ob
tained. Commissioner George C. Morrlsson
oi now iorK, no said, was on his way to
tho Darlcn country with a surveying party
looiting ror a possible route In that region.
Commissioner Noblo declined to Indicate
tho Impression ho or tho other Commission
ers received ns to tho best route for n canal,
or to forecast what tho recommendations
will be.
Tho only thing ho would say was: "I
think tho American peoplo want a routo
ncross the Isthmus, buttho work of digging
tho canal on any routo will take longer than
anybody seems to think."
Itoutc Sclcclrtt In the llrnf.,
Deforo his departuro for Daltimoro General
Haines said: H
"Tho present commissioners' report will
not only decide on n practicable routo for tho
isthmian canal, but will demonstrate con
clusively that tho routo selected Is the most
fcaslblo one that could havo been chosen.
Wo havo at present about 300 surveyors in
tho field, under .tho cliargo of competent en
gineers. They aro going with tho greatest
caro over tho Nicaragua routo, tho Panama
routo and all tho other routes suggested by
any of tho former surveys.
"Besides this wo havo a number of ex
ploring parties out, In tho hopo of discov
ering sites that havo beon nlthorto over
looked. Our object Is to do the work with
such thoroughness that our results cannot
possibly bo questioned nt any futuro time.
We havo tho reports of all tho previous sur
veys, but we shall cover every mllo of the
ground through which wo think it possible
for the canal to run. Tho country is varied
nnd tho work of tho surveyors Is difficult
and tho progress slow, especially in tho Sec
tion nbout Darlcn. For this reason it is im
possible to even set au approximate date for
our report.
"Unless congress especially requires one
wo shall submit no preliminary report. Un
til our work is done, therefore, it Is I'm
proper for any member of tho commission
to speak regarding tho merits of tho several
routes proposed.

Concluding a long communication he said:
"Should this lntcroceanlc connection over

relations a matter of Importance to any

Colombian government cither disrespectful
or unfriendly to suggest that the military
strength of tho government of Colombia
would bo inadequate to maintain Its security
or neutrality nnd that the, enforcement of
tho guaranty of tho United States would
probably bo sought, ns It has beon hereto
fore. Should tho possibility of such a ne
cessity becomo a probablo occurrence Jt
would bo tho .duty of tho United States not
only to Itself, but to tho government of
Colombia, to see that it was in a position
to enforce tha guaranties which existing
trcnties lmposo upon It nnd which Its feel
ing of slnccro friendship for the govern
ment of Colombia would Induce it to fulfill
with scrupulous fidelity."
(Another communication of some Interest
Is that of Secretary Foster to Mr. Coughlln
of December 22, 1802. relating to tho rc
quest of tho Panama Canal company for
an extension of ono year. Ho opposed the
concession, saying Ihat tho company was
'bankrupt and, henco tho application for nn
extension -was not bona fldo. "In view of
this," he said, "tho United States govern-,
ment earnestly trusts that no such extension
will be granted without, substantial guar
anties." noportlttg later that tho extension had
been granted Minister Abbott said:
"Tho timo will nover come, In my Judg

Cnlled to Order.
WASHINGTON, March 21. During the
debato lu tho house today on tho Loud
bill, relating to second-class mall matter
tncro was a sharp exchanso between Mc
Pherson, republican of Iowa, and Lcntz
democrat of Ohio, over a charge made by
tho former that tho latter was the attorney
tor tno lobby which is fighting tho bill
Othcrwlso the debato was without Incident,
Doth tho friends and opponents of tho
measuro express tho belief that tho voto
tomorrow will bo close. Loud has agreed
to accept two amendments, one to Incrcaso
tno numbor of samplo copies which news
papers can send out nt necond-elnss rates
from COO to 2.000, and tho other to limit
tho provision requiring newspapers to sep
arate their mall to those having In caccss
or 0,000 circulation. These aro all tbo con
cessions ho will make. Ho says the dobato
has strengthened tho bill nnd ho believes
It will pass. Tho speakers tooay wero
Dromwell of Ohio, Qrlgg3 of Georgia, Mc
Pherson of Iowa, Durke of Texas, Dlngham
of Pennsylvania, Hcatwolo of Minnesota nn
Latimer of South Carolina In favor of tho
bill, and Moon of Tennessee, Lentz of Ohio
Vandiver of Missouri, Snodgrass of Tcnn
essco, Cochran of Missouri and Neville of
Nebraska ngalnst It.
Lentz argued that second-class, nrlv
lieges for mall matter must bo considered
part of tho educational system of tho coun
try. Ho had his desk nnd tho surrounding
desks piled high with the books of standard
authors and poets which he said were placed
within tho reach of tho humblest boys nnd
girls becauso they had access to' tho malls
nt pound rates. He created considerable en
thusiasm, both on tho floor nnd In the gal
lories, as ho appealed for a continuation of
these privileges
McPhcison, in support of the bill, do
nounccd tbo lobby, which, ho said, was In
fcstlng tho corridors nnd galleries of tho
house, carrying on a corrupt campaign
against tho measure. During the course of
his remarks Hill of Connecticut, ruing to a
question of privilege, stated that lltcraturo
in opposition to tho bill was being dls
trlbutcd on tho floor of tho houso by tho
pages. He demanded that tho rulo should
bo enforced. Tho speaker directed tho
employes of the1 house to cease distributing
the documents.
Mel'licrann Aitnckn I.rntz
McPhcrson, proceeding, attacked Lcntz
creating something of a sensation by char
notorizing blm as tho attorney for tho lobby,
Lcntz was not on tho floor at tho time, but
Richardson, tho minority leader, promptly
called McPhcrson to order.
McPhorson withdrew tho word "attorney
nnd was allowed to proceed.
Durko of Texas advocated tho passage of
tho bill. Snodgrass of Tennessee and
Vandiver of Missouri opposed tbo measure,
At this Juncture Lcntz of Ohio, rising to
a question of privilege, replied to tho strict
urea of McPherson earlier in tho session
saying that ho was surprised that a member
even with tho limited experienco In tho
rules of decency enjoyed by tho gentleman
from Iowa should havo charged him with
being the attorney of a lobby In connection
with tho pending bill. Ho proceeded to
explain, tho circumstances' undor which he
had brought into tho houso tha books and
pamphlots complained of and in conclusion
said ho did not-know hQW he could protect
himself from charges based upon suoh
flimsy grounds.
Snyn It In llln Teelli.
"Hut I want to say In tho gcntlomau's
teeth," ho said, "that tho gentleman who
charges me with being the attorney of a
lobby is undoubtedly himself tho attorney
for an express company " Hero Payno of
New York Interposed to call Lcntz to order.
Later McPhorson got tho floor, saying
that ho had at the time withdrawn the ob
jectlonablo remark, but that tho speech of
Lcntz, when It appeared, would display tho
facts which had called It forth. He said
lt wouiu iur).ner suow inai uvinz was in

scnato convened today Turnor of Washing
ton offered a resolution directing the secre
tary ot war to Inform tho senate whether
nny concessions to excavato tbe gold-bearing
bed of tho sea in tho vicinity of CapoNorao,
Alaska, or In other Alaskan waters, havo
been mado to any individual or corporation
or association by tho socretary ot war or
any other war department ofilcial, and If so,
upon what theory of authority such grant
was made.
In response to an,lnqulry as to tho Infor
mation which had prompted tho resolution.
Turnor said ho had been informed by tho
governor of Alaska, who was now In tho
city, that tho War department had granted
exclusive rights to certain persons to mlno
tho bed ot tbo sea near Cape Nome. "If
this Is truo," ho said, "It Is a shame, a re
proach and a scandal." Tbo resolution was
agreed to.
Pottlgrow offered and secured tho passage
ot a resolution directing tho secretary of
war to Inform the sennto what were the
qualifications of voters In tho approaching'
elections In Cuba, who prescribed tho qual
ifications, the purpose ot tho election and
who would havo charge ot it.
Halo called up tho mensuro making ap
propriations to supply additional urgent do
ftcloncles. Tbo commlttca amendments
thereto wero agreed to and tho bill was
passed without comment.
Carter called up his motion to reconsider
tho voto by which tho senato yesterday
adopted a resolution providing a messenger
to every senator not a chairman of a stand
ing committee.
Tbo motion prevailed nnd the. resolution
waB referred to tho committee on contingent
expenses.
A bill to authorlzo tho judges of tbo dis
trict courts of tbo United States to ap
poiut stenographic reporters and de(ormlno
tho duties and compensation ot such report
ers was passed. Tho bill provides for the
appointment of ninety court reporters in
tho United States at a salary of ?2,000 each,
extra pay being provided for oxtrn. manu
scripts ot court proceedings supplied.
Tho bill to provldo a civil code for tho
district of Alaska was then taken up for
consideration.
IIHMi:ilSO FOR KKJIIT-UOLIt LAW.

Federation of Labor Lenders
Ilia I'uraonnl View.
WASHINGTON, March 21. Speakor Hen
derson took occasion during a recent call by
et,oi Lktar V BT" lhTH Zr
Lnal views concerning nn elght-hour wori
rresiaont uompers nnd others of the Fed-
day.
Thn labor leaders called to dlicusa the
outlook for legislation on the eight-hour
bill, tho bill against convict-made goods and
that limiting tho issuance of Iniunpllon
by federal courts. Although scvernl cf the
members of tho delegation preferred to place
the Injunction bill foremost, It was tho final
view of Oompers nnd all his associates that
tno eight-hour measuro should bo first to re
eclvo attention from congress.
This led Speaker Henderson to express his
personal views on tho elsht-hour uuestlon.
Ho said ho had always believed that the
product of a man working eight hours a day
was much better than that of a man com
polled to work longer hours. No timo was
set for taking up the eight-hour legislation
ns tho callers mado no request in that dlrec
tlon.
EFFECT OF FINANCIAL LAW
Clinlriimn nronlun HIiimt Hint There
I Xo fN'ccil .for .Any Ap
)reliriiun. WASHINGTON1, March 21. In view of tho
recently expressed apprehension as lo tho
effect ot certain features of thp new financial
law tho following statement was mado to
day by Chairman Ilrosius of tho house com
mlttco on banking acd currency, and ono
of tho houso contorees on tho financial bill
Tbo apprehension expressed In many
quarters that under tho banking features
of tho financial bill recently passed, thcie
will bo tome Inflation, I do not doubt has
somo ground.. It would bo unfortunnto If
thoro was not, for wo need moro currency
I havo no doubt that there will be a gradual
Increase in our circulation to meet tbo re
quirements of trade. It must bo considered
In councctlon with this subject that there arc.'
tnrco natural checks upon cxcctslvo issued
of bank currency under tho new law.
"First, It Is to bo noted that under tho
operation ot redemption nny considerable
Inflation of bank notes would causo them
to bo sent Into tho treasury for redemption
In largo amounts and tho Issuing banks
would havo to put up tho lawful money for
tho purpeso, which would deplete their re
serves.
"In tho second place nny grcnt demand
for bonds to exchango for tho two per cents
would ndvanco. tho prlco beyond the limit;
which would mako It prodtnblo to uso them
for banking purposes, In which caso banks
would qulto likely sell bonds to mako tho
profit rather than tako out circulation.
"In tho third placo tho, limit of $3,000,000
a month upon tha retirement of currency
will mnko banks very cautious about taking
out moro circulation than they will bo nble
to keep out profitably, for onco out It might
havo to remain out for somo timo before
It could bq rotrcd.
"Theso several chocks will operato auto
matlcally to restrain excessive Issues ot bank
currency under tho new law. It may bo ns
mimed that the 10 per cent authorized to bo
issued on bonds already deposited will bo
put out. That will not exceed In amount
$24,000,000 lu round numbers, which Is
scarcely moro than 1 por cent of tho total
volumo ot our circulation and can do no
barm. It Is Imposslblo to mnke an ac
curato forecast of tho amount of currency
that wilt be put out by tho now banks that
will bo organized. Thero is no good reason
to bellovo thnt it -will exceed tho existing
need In tho south and west, whero great In
convenience has beon sufforcd for lack of
additional bank currency."
