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 bo .accomplished and should its control iic como in tho complications of International relations a matter of Importance to any power, It will surely not"bo deemed by the 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.

(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 ment, whbn tho Colombian government will rcfuso to grant canal concessions to Euro pean companies until a deflnlto proposition for tho construction of tho work shall como from tho government or a. rollablo com pany of tho United States."

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.

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.

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.

This led Speaker Henderson to express his personal views on tho elsht-hour uuestlon.

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."
