DicMahon warned itie house not to bs deceivad about these §200,000 for coaling stations. Taero was a_cor- poration known as ths Chiriqui Land company, which kad eoveral miltion acres of land to sell whero these s 8- tions were propsed to be located. Tais wss ostensivly a vropesition to get two stations, one_in the Gulf of Mexlco and the other in the Pacific ocoan, bat it was not all for the glory of the United States. McMshon in- timated that jobbers had been to work on the commi.tees, and that exscutive inflaence bad boen slyly incoked to get the measure through conzres. The privt of order was overrulod.

If there was coal there, why did not the Chirigui corapany open minee, but he spoks wainly to the demcorate, for the republicvas have a political in- terest in makiog as bud a record as pouidle for this congress. Mr. Harris, of Mass:chuseits, a member of the commiites on naval affairz, said they had made the appro- prizticn, but iy had exsmined the sutject carefully and dispussion- ately, and were uuanimouly 1a favor of it.

Mr. Whitharge, cheirmsn of the naval committee, ref.rring to the ap- peals of Messrs Bioont aad McMae- hon, to the demcrate, anraed that he was a better democra: than they wera, because in espourirg this project he was carrylng out the J.ffarsontan idea of tho destiny of the great repablic, Roferring to Me.

Mr. Whitthorps eaid that be would not be uncharitable and mean cnough o say that the gentlemin who oppo ed this amendment had received money from the French government to pre- vent the carrying out of the great American idea. Mr. McMahon said the gentleman was a litle unforturate in ilue- ton, fur the recretary of the pavy, wko recommended this, was president of tie French company.
