MAC BILL PASSES (Continued from First Pago.) ducod against tho bill during tho debate devoting considerable time to Mr. Cannon Tho gentleman from Illinois, he said, de mnnded clearness and dcflnltoness, yet ho proposed to support tho Morris amendment which, Mr. Hepburn pointed out, was vaguo and Indefinite. Ho had Impugned bad mo tlvea to no ono, but ho believed forces wero working for delay. I do not Impugn the motives of the gen tloman from Illinois," said he, "when ho says ho Is ln favor of this canal. In a par llamcntary sense I am convinced, yet I am tree to confess, that only the obligations of. parliamentary law would convince me, when I remember that ho had Invariably been a stickler for delay." Mr. Hanburn then nrocccdod to review Mr. Cannon's record and canal legislation to show that his declarations of friendship did not .harmonlzo wjth his constant courso ot hostllo dolay. Cheer Ilenutirn nt Cnnnnn'a I3pone, He repeatedly drew applaueo and laughter Aa he loosened his shafts ot sarcasm at tho chairman of the appropriations com mittee Mr. Cannon seemed to take It all good naturedly, Joining ln tho laughter provoked at his own expense, Mr. Hepburn said that, Mr. Cannon poscu as a ousiness man. yet. said ho, ho wanted to pay J!0,- 000,000 for something tho commission said was worth 27,00O,Q0Q. With regard to tho alleged claims ot the Maritime Canal com pany, which tho gentleman from Illinois discovered In the "pale moonlight," the commission discovered that they had al ready been distinguished. In conclusion Mr. Hepburn said it waB his. opinion that the house should pass the pending bill. He did not protond that It was as perfect as It would have been had It been drawn by tho gontleman from Illi nois, with his fund of inexhaustible wis dom. Addressing tho democratic side, be read tho plank In the Kansas City platform pledging tho party to ?he Nlcaraguan ca nal. "That," said he, amidst laughter, "la the most respectable declaration In the platform." HoiikIi Hand In the Senate, "Thero are reports tn the air," said be, "that any Isthmian bill will havo a rough and rocky road to travel In another body, that tho sentiment ot certain persona ot potency are against It. What will be the moral effect If this house, oy a practically unanimous vote, Indicates Its purpose to do whnt the people demand shall be done?" If the Morris amendment carries, he said, tho selection of the Panama route t would depend oh a majority of the com mlMlon. The ch'otte mlghl hinge on the ttltudo of, one man. and no man, he de clared, should bo placed In such a position with $40,000,000 ln the balance. Tho bill wai read for amendment under the flve-mtnuto rule. Bhackleford of Missouri offered the amendment to au thorize the president to dotermlno the choice of routes ns between Nicaragua and 'anama lf the prfiperty and franchises cf tho Panama company could bo procured for $10,000,000. He explained that the amend ment offered. by him had been agreed upon after consultation between himself nnd Mr. Morris nnd, Mr, Parker of New Jersey, who had given potlco that they would offer similar amendments. Atnennmenii. After a lively running debate over the amendment It was defeated upon a rising ote 102 to 170. Mr. Parker of New Jersey, De Armond nnd Burgess offered various amendments, which were voted down. Tho committee then roportcd tho bill to tho house, "whereupon Mr. Cannon moved to recommit the bill with Instructions to report back within thirty days a substitute to enable the president to acquire the necessary rights for ft canal from Nicara- gua or Colombia and to authorize him to sniccitiiiu iuuiu nuuiu nuij ip.
