Hepicsontaiive Hepburn , chairman of the house interstate and foreign commerce Committee , which haj charge of the Nicaragua canal npproprhtlon. opposes the canal treat/ with Great Brii- nln , now pending in the scnnte. "I think , " ho said today , "that the nego tiation of this treaty Is very unfoitunato nnd that It ought not to bo latltied by thu bcnatc. I do not know that the pendency of thci treaty will Intel fere with action by congress on the Nicaragua canal bill , but thn ratification of the ticaty would certainly Impair the value of the caual when con structed. "This treaty \oafllrms \ the principles of the Clavton-Bulwei tieaty , conceding all thu claims and contentions of Great Britain. England had by her own nctioi * given us the right nl nny tiuio to nbiogtue thn Clayton- Bulwer treaty. The ne w treaty sui renders everything to Great Britain , abandoning our contention of > ears , that we might abrogate the treaty at will. "Moreover It recognizes the right of any foielgn power to Interfcro and dictate with ibfbrunca to our negotiations with thu Inde pendent governments of this continent. It abandons the Monroe doctrine" IViitrill Anifrlen IN hntlMllctl. Ofllclal telegrams htt.\o bcon received by ncveral of tbo Central American repic-scnta- tlves In Washington stating that the Iluy- Pauncflfote treaty Concerning the Nicaragua canal meets with general approval through out Central America Those favorable as surances como not only from the two coun tries most dlrectlj concerned , but also from Guatemala and Honduras , which to some ex tent share In the piospectlvo ndvantages the canal will bring to that section of the coun try. So far ns Costa Hioa Is concerned Minister Calve expresses the most hearty approval of the new tieat } , and the mei- sagco ho hns locelved from his government show that thlu sentiment Is held by the Costa Klcun government. As the proposed route of the waterway Is by way of the San Juan river. In which ad jacent territory Costa Illca Is Intcrestel , this friendly attitude Is received with satisfaction by officials here. The bill before congress empoweis the president to negotiate with Nicaragua and Costa Hlca for the light of way for the canal and the friendly assurances now conveyed are tnkon as an evidence that these negotiations will bo received In a cordial spirit. Prcuuli Cniiltnl In The minister of Nlcniagua , Mr Coirca , confirms lecont press reports that $10,000- 000 of Trench capital Is to bo enlisted In Nicaragua , and that Impoitnnt concessions' ' will bo granted to the Trench organl/atlun that Is to roster the sclntine , Including the right to Issue paper monej i.inillur to the Ameilcan greenback under government siip- orvlelon and backed with n coin u servo of CO per cent of gold or silver. The orginl- zatlon is to bo known ns the "Banco Tranco- Nlcaraguanese. " It Is to be Incoi pouted un der the laws of Nlcnragua nnd Is not by vlrtuo of the soun.cs of capital to bo other than a distinctly Nlcaiaguaii Institution The capital stock Is to bo $10,000,000. of which M.000,000 Is to bo paid In before op erations begin The cecrctary of the ticas.- ury of Nicaragua Is given supervision of all moneys Impoited or exported by the bank.

" "Is Porto Illco Included within the mcnn- Ing of the term 'United Statcu' In the con stitution , " the icport su > s. "That It Is not so Included would .stem apparent ftom n variety of fon. > Idcrntloiis. It must bo rccol- leetevl tint the term 'United States' has more than one meaning. It moans , in the first place , the several states respectively that constitute the federal union. It means , ngaln , In a geographical sense , nil the tcirl- tory over which the United States has juris diction , just ns the British empire means nil the component parts of the kingdom of Great Britain. But It means In its political -sense that corporation which Is the result of the federal union nnd constitutes the United States a nation It Is undoubtedly in this latter Hense that It Is used In the constitu tion. " Concerning the acquisition of territory the report states "Subsequent to the acquisi tion of Louisiana the United States has acquired tcrrltorj In a number of Instances by virtue of the treaty-making power. It Is to bo observed that In each nnd all of these cases , both by the terms of the icspcctlvo treaties and by the legislation of congiess v itb inspect to the acquired tenltory , the doctrines announced In connection with the acquisition and government of Louisiana Isavo been reamrmed. "In each nnd every cnso It has been , thought ncceasary , In order to modify the. o'hcrwiso unllnjlted powers of congiess , to make special provisions in the treaties by vvblch the teirltory was acquired. Alaskii ttn iI'rocuilent. . "In all of the treaties , save that relating to Alaska , provision has been made that the territory acquired should bo Incorpoiated into the union ns boon as possible , and that In the meantime the civil rights of Its In habitants should be guaranteed. In the treaty with Hussla , whereby Alaska was ac- qulrcJ , no provision was made for the incor poration of the territory Into the union , but provision was made that the inhabitants should have the Immunities of cltl/ens of the United States and protection In the en- Jojcnent of tholr liberty , property and relig ion. Had not these terms been made In the treaties the territory acquired would have become subject to the legislation of congiess under Its power to make all needful rules and regulations lespecting It , which is with out limitation. By the mere acquisition of territory by the United States Its govern ment becomes subject to the limitations of the constitution , then clearly there was no necessity for the insertion of limitations In the. respective treaties. "So far as legislation with icspcct to theoo tieaty-acqulrcd teirltcrles has been had , It Is to be attribute * ! to the guaranties secured by the terma of the treat j. In the case of teirltory acquired with no limitations upon the power of congreta Its power in absolute and exclusive , except insofar ns It Is limited by the thirteenth amendment to the consti tution , which prohibits the existence of slavery In any place over which the United States has jurisdiction. In the ci ( < a of Hawaii express iccognlllon was made of the fact that its laws would icmaln In foice un til action by congress "Nowheio Is the distinction between the United States as subject to constitutional government moic strikingly Illustrated limn In the unhiokcn line of dcdalons which In trims exclude territories fiom ono of the nain articles of the constitution. " After citing mtmv CBSCF In Hiippoit of Its conte-ntlon , the icport concludes * Mi-niiliiK of 'IVi'iu " 1 nlleil ' < tn < eN. " " 1. That upon ic.ij.on and authority , the term 'United Stntc.V as used In the con stitution hati rcferenco o.ily to the states that runEtltuto the fidcr.il union nnd docs not include tcrrltoiles. " 2.

A photographic apparatus was conspicuous in the gallery for the purpose of reproducing the historic scene. Admiral Tlrpltz , In introducing the bill , said the historical events of the last two vents had spoken in oiich clear language that the necessity for n strong fleet for Germany had been recognired In evei- wldenlng circles In the countrj. Those In favor of a great navy and those opposed to It differed essentially In regard to the scope , date and period for cnrrjlng Into eftcct the Increase of the fleet , nnd also conceining the form In which the question should bo dealt with. But the reasons foi increasing the navy could be summed up In u fow' ' words. The discrepancy beXween Gci * . many's naval power and that of other coun tries was so great that the federal govern ment saw therein a distinct danger If nl- lov.cd to continue. Indeed , the danger ap peared nil the greater as the conimeiclal competition of the world , according to nil calculations , would become more severe ilui- Ing the next decade. Any ono desiring to examine the question of the navy must clearly understand It is Impossible to Im provise navies On the contrary manj jears aie icqulrcd for their establishment.
