THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL. ‘The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Nicaragua canal bill, giving the guarantee of the United States government to the company’s 4 per cent bonds to the amount of $100,000,000. ‘The Dill having been read in fall, Mr. Ed- munds seid that in the necessary absence of the chairman of the committee on foreign relations Qilr. Sherman) it was his duty to take charge of the bill for the time being. ‘The subject was not a new one. The natural importance of hay- ing the kind of interest in the Nicaragua canal which the bill provided for had been fully dis- cussed in the Senate two or three years ago. Besides, the report of the committee was 80 full and complete and condensed that he did not feekcalled upon at this time to take up the time of the Senate in again going over the grounds stated in the report—especially in view of the very complete und able observations of the Senator irom Alabama (Mr. Morgan) some day ago. MR. VEST OPPOSES THE BILL. Mr. Vest, in opposing the bill, disclaimed any hostility tothe Nicaragua canal project, al- though he had favored Capt. Eads’ Tehuantepec ship railroad project. He took no part in the cheap. attacks upen Great Britain and remarked that, while aggrandizing ten- dencies of Great Briuiin might be denounced, it should be remembered that the United States had the same characteristic com- ing from hereditary and social peculiarities. At the risk of being misconstrued he asserted that no greater calamity could come upon the world than a war between the United States and Great Britain. It would destroy com- merce on every ocean and would involve coun- tries in antagonism:, difficulties and losses of lifefand property which no intelligent man would ever wish to provoke. It was. therefore, of importance that in considering the pending bill the relations between Great Britain and the United States in regard to inter-oceanie com- munication across the isthmus should be con- sidered. It was easy enough to denounce the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and he joined in that denunciation, for he never coud understand why the United States should go into partner- ship with Great Britain in the management and control of a line of transit between the two oceans. RE AGREED WITH DOUGLASS. In this connection Mr. Vest read from a pam- phle: giving Mr. Stephen A. Douglass’ views, and said that there was now no difference of opinion between intelligent men in the United States as to the impropriety of Nr. Clayton's er having made the treaty of 1850. But the question wes not as to whether it should have been made or not. The question before the Senate now was as to the attitude of Great Britain in relation to that treaty and as to what would be the result of the United States, assuming the treaty not to be in existence, and without any conference whatever with Great Britain, proceeding to legislate as if that treaty had never been made. If Senators would place themselves in the posi- tion of officers of the British government they would appreciate what he said when he de- clared that the question was a most important one to the people of the United States. In the face of the question which he was consider- ing it did not matter as to public opinion in the United States, except as to whether the American people would justify a war with Great Britain in order to pass the pending bill. it Great Britain assumed that the Clayton- Bulwer treaty was in existence (and the Senate had no intimation that it did not), then it was fair to assume that the government of Great Britain would act as the government of the United States would act under similar ciream- stances, and if Great Britain should, in spite of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, undertake to build a canal across the isthmus ‘without the consent of the United States, the Senators had no right to assume in the light of history and logic that the people of Great Britain were not as jealous of their national honor as the people of the United States were. On the contrary, the government of Great Britain was the most tenacious of all governments of national and individual rights. Whatever might be said of British propensity to aggrandizement, conquest and commercial and territorial dominion, it had to be conceded that no government had ever excelled that of Great Britain in protecting her national honor and the individual rights of her citizens. If Great Britain had, at any time, under any minister, ever conceded that the Clayton- Bulwer treaty had been by any act of hers abrogated and was now null and void he would be glad to have it pointed ont to him. Mr. Morgan (to whom the inquiry was ad- dressed) said that he was not aware that the question had ever been discussed diplomati- cally and that there had been no occasion for having it discussed. If the United States re- mained in its present attitude it would not be discussed for a hundred years and there would not be an interoceanic canal for 200 years. THE HOUSE. ‘ ing on the Attorney General for information ag to what instructions have been given by him to TWO CENTS. object of the gentleman in saying a few words Was not to prevent the forty te debate al- lowed under the rules after the previous ques- tion wns ordered. Mr. Connon replied that he would answer frankly in the affirmative. In view of the mo- tions already made on the democratic side, un- der the lead of the gentleman from Tenneasce (iz. MeMillin), the republicans accepted notice that the gentlemen on the democratic side did not desire to facilitate business. He would make a few remarks and then demand the pre- vious question. Mr. McMillin inquired whether it was the gentleman's purpose to attack him and his mo- tives and then to move the previous question and cut off debate. Mr. Cannon disclaimed having made an at- tack upon anybody that this was a proposi Mr. McMillin ition to increase the salaries of judges while the ap- propriation bills were still pending. ir. Cannon replied that it was a proposition to put the court and the salary bills into con- ference if the majority wished so to do. Mr. MeMillin ded thet the gentleman had announced his progrom and had said that after talking a few moments he would shut off debate. If that was the program to be pur- sued the democrats would meet it at every point. [Democratic applause. This was a proposition to take care of repub- lican dead ducks. and was an effort to increase salaries while the republican party Was linger- ing supertluous on the stage after the people bad denounced it. THREE MINUTES TO GET HIS BILE OFF. Mr. Cannon said that he would yield the gen- fleman from Tennessee three minutes He wanted the gentleman to have an opportunity to get all the bile off his stomach. ir. G. B. Taylor—Why is the gentleman from Tennerace so exctied’ & ir. McMillin—-Because I see you pose to plunder the treasury. (Deshocratie applnaee and jeers from the republican side.] Mir. Blow moved to recommit the res olution with instructions to report it back after the pending appropriation bills shall have passed. Pp Mr. Cannon—The gentleman does not de- ceive even himself by that proposition. Mr. Biount—he- gentleman does not try to deceive anybody. The democrats demanded division on Mr. Blount's motion, and in order to save time the republicans called for and, ona standing vote, ordered the yeas and nays. Mr. McMillin asked for tellers on the yeas and nays, and strenuously objected to the Speaker's refusal to entertain his demand. THE DEMOCRATS LEAVE THE HOUSE. The clerk proceeded to call the roll and (fol- lowing the precedent set last session) the great body of the democrats aroseand left she hall. The vote resulted—yeas, 12; nays, 150-—the clerk quorum, and the motion was lost. The question then recurred on the demand for the previous question, and having de- | manded ‘the yeas and nays, Mr. McMillin, by a signal of bis hand, directed the democrats who were in the cloak rooms to come forward3to his support. Having obeyetl the signal long chough to accomplish Mr. MeMillin’s object, the dem- ccrats once more disappeared. THE RULES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. ‘The vote having been concluded Mr. McMillin demanded its recapitulation. This demand the Speaker declined to enter- tain on the ground that it was for the purpose of delay. Mr. McMillin retorted that it was a delay that had never been denied by any predecessor of the present Speaker. Precisely, answered the Speaker, but the rules have been changed. ectantanrresth OS IS HE A CANDIDATE? Mr. Cleveland's Friends Doubt the Story of His Withdrawal. The statement published today that’ Mr. Cleveland has decided that he will not accept the nomination of his party for the presidency and that he will soon write a letter has caused something of a sensation. It is understood that a very distinguished democratic Senator is authority for the «tate- ment. This Senator has stated that Mr. Cleve- land ‘told him that he would not again be» audidate. It is uot known that this Senator has seen Mr. Cleveland lately, and it is likely that their con- versation occurred some time ago. It is re- garded as likely also that the Senator gave too road an interpretation to Mr. Cleveland's as- sertion. ‘The report does not come from sources par- ticularly friendly to Mr. Cleveland, and, of course, the anti-Cleveland men seize upon the story with great eagerness. Mr. Cleveland's closest friends in Congress, however, know nothing of any put on his part to decline the nomination, and do uot believe the story. HIS LETTER TO MR. TRACEY. Mr. Tracey of New York had « personal letter from Mr. Cleveland within four days. No ref- erence is made in it to any purpose on the part of the writer to withdraw from the field of presidential possibilities, though the character of the letter gives opportunity for such an avowal were it in his mind. On that subject he says merely that if a ma- jority of his party are op: to him he is standing in no one’s way. This may indicate fn indifference as to the result, but it certainly ves no indica a bim- Seif out of the reach of his purty if they want to MB. TRACEY DOES NOT BELIEVE THE stonY. Mr. Tracey would be very apt to know as soon as any one of such a purpose on the part of Mr. Cleveland. He said to a Stax reporter true, he wid he did not think that Mr. Cleveland was at all for the nomination, but felt positive that would not decline the nomination if offered to him. ff it g tary of the Navy has received petitions signed by 478 sailors of the crews of six naval vessels protesting against the service of ‘naval vessels at sea if i i ; noting a sufficient number to constitute «| THE FUNERAL TRAIN.
