WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The House spent the dey considering the Hopkins Dbill to create a permanent census bureau. While the general sentiment was in favor ©f a permanent bureau, there was strong opposition to the bill as drawn on the und that it was not well matured. There also was an overwhelming demand for a provision to place the present em- ployes of the Census Bureau under the protection of the civil service law, and the bill finally was recommitted with instruc- tions to report back a bill containing a plan for a detailed organization of a per- t census bureau, to include also a n to place the present employes the civil service. e opening of the session Barney orted the pension bill and gave notice toat he woula call it up on Monday after the disposal of District of Columbia busi- Dess.

LL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The Pana- ma Canal Company has taken another step toward getting its formal offer in the.hands of the proper autborities of the United States Government.

M. Lampre informed Admiral Walker that a letter, fully attested by | consular officials, will leave Paris to-day | and arrive in Washington not later-than January 20. Admiral Walker has issued a cail for a Canal Company, on January 15, and ihe commission will prob#bly make a supple- mental report embodying the offer of the Panama Company, which will be trans- mitted to Congress. | Senator Morgan, chairman of the Inter- | oceanic Canal Committee and leading champion of the Nicaraguan canal of the | | United States, made a move against the | Panama Company to-day that is likely to | force the fighting. He issued subpenas for M. Lampre, as secretary of the Pana- ma Canal Company, to appear before nis committee at 11 o'clock to-morrow morn ing. Other gentlemen familiar with the affairs of the company are likely to be summoned. These subpenas are issued under the resolution passed by the Senate | | last Tuesday directing the Interoceanic Canal Committee “to make inquiry and report with reference to any agreements | or concert of action between any railrcad in the United States or in Canada or Panama, or of any American line of ships, | | to control transportation and rates there- | for for cargo or passengers across the isthmus of Panama."” Senator Morgan in his speech charged | that there was an agreement between Lhe canal company owning the Panama Rail- road and the Transcontinental Associaticn to regulate rates and nullify competition | between th: twe seaboards. His purpose is to,get hoid of the contract between the Panama Raiircad Company and the Pa- | cific Mati in Company, whick 1s | owned bv the Scuthern Pacific.

It is probable that there i will be a further struggle, as President | Aceval has been released from prison. - A plot to depose Senor Aceval was decided upon at a conference between General Caballero, General Escobar, Colonel Es- carra, Minister of War: Senor Moreno, Mimster of Finance; and Senator Fleyas. This revolutionary committee sent a depu- tation to President Aceval to, request him to resign. Senor Aceval emphatically de- | clined. As a declination was expected, a i detachment of cavalry was placed within | easy call. The cavalrymen were sum- | | | moned and the President was taken off to prison. Another cavalry detachment was sent to the residence of General Egusquiza, { former ~President of Paraguay, but that gentleman had been apprised of the coup d'etat and sought safety at the Argentine legation, President Aceval's family soon after ar- rived at the legation and were recefved by the Argentine officlals, Many friends of Senor Aceval also found an asylum there, for there was fear that the revolutionists would deal harshly with them.

Suppression ‘of Final Proto~ col May Insure an Agreement. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10.—It is believed that the arbitration difficulty in the Pan- American conference has finally been dis- posed of, though it is uncertain how the Chileans will aet. The solution is to ‘e found in the sup- pression of the final protocol, for which | purpose a modification of the rules of the conterence will be necessary. For this purpose a two-thirds vote will be needed, | but it is already practically assured. The suppression of the final protocol is the only concession that will be made to the Chileans. Its significance is simply | that the treatles approved by the confer- ence will only bear the signatures of the delegations who adopt them. The final protocol will. bear the signatures of all the deiegations without exception and it witl be a resume of all the treaties con-| cluded by the conference, includiag that | of compulsory arbitration, signed by ten delegations. Therefore, as the Chileans wouid have had to sign the final protocol with the other - delegations, they would have been placed in the position of indi- rectly sanctioning the plan of compulsory arbitration. Now, however, if the final protocol is abolished this difficulty will be overcome, and it is held that the Chileans will be evineing excessive sensitiveness if they persist in withdrawing. One of them, when asked to-night what they would do going, said that his delegation would act according to circumstances and instruc- tions, He denfed that the; had ever threatened to withdraw Chile’s legation from Mexic DENVER FORGER IS LODGED IN LCCAL JAIL B.

GABLE RATES ARE EXPLAINED House Committee on Commerce Obtains Information. Official of aPrivate Company Tells of Work Being Done. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The House Committee on Commerce to-day took up the subject of a Pacific cable. The main question is whether the cable shall be constructed by the Government or by pri- vate parties. The hearing to-day was devoted to an explanation by George G./ Ward, vice president of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company, of the plans of that company. He stated that terms had been made for the manufacturing and laying of a cable to Honolulu by November 1 next and the company intended to extend the cable to Manila within two years from next No- vember. The manufacture of the cable was now proceeding, he stated, at the rate of 240 miles per month and this rate would be increased to 640 miles per month. He gave the cost of the project as between $10,- 000,000 and_$12,000,000. The cross-questioning by Chairman Hep- burn and Messrs, Corliss and Mann tended to develop the question whether or not the company, by having an exclusive field, would maintain high rates. Ward gave the expected rate to Manila at $1 and Honolulu 35 cents to 50 cents a word. The hearing will continue to-morrow. “Mexican Pete” Knocked Out.
