Sea Captain Tells the Law- makers About the Two Rcutes. RRRERRRE IRRRRRE RRRRRR RRRRRR RRRRRY WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Just before the adjournment of the Senate to-day Senator Spooner introduced a substitute for the Nicaragua canal bill. The new bill is a practical authorization to the President of the United States to choose between the Panama and the Nicaragua routes. The first provision looks to the acqui- sition of the franchises, right of way and | other property of the new Panama Canal Company of France, including that com- pany’s control of the Panama Railroad. The President is authorized to pay $40,- 000,000 for these, “provided a satisfactory title can be obtained.” He is then au- thorized to secure the necessary conces- sions from the republic of Colombia, these %o include the perpetual control of THE EMPORIUM. § Valentines, 1902 Designs, Are Ready We constantly strive to ha Men’s C.othing at 56¢ cn dolas Velour Squares, D.ess Goods, etc., few of ths items: A large special purchase of orings, including white, pi emerald, etc., a silk suitabl when bought in th> regul per yard, this week only, bargamn, per vard. a ten-mile strip of territory from the Ca- ribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. A ca- nal sufficient to accommodate the largest vessels is then to be constructed under the supervision of the Secretary of War. The bill also carries an alternative pro- vision authorizing the President to pro- ceed with the construction of the Nica- ragua canal in case he fails to secure the necessary concessions from Colombia or a satisfactory title from the Panama Ca- nal Company. An immediate appropria- | tion of $10,000,000 is made in either event. The limit of cost is fixed at $135,000,000 in case the Panama route is chosen; while $160,000,000 is allowed in case the choice falls on the Nicaragua route. Captain J. S. Bryan was before a sub- committee of the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals to-day. He is an old sea captain and has spent much time in the coastwise trade of Central America. He also has had an experience of several months in navigating Lake Nicaragua and has traversed the Panama route. Ha expressed a strong preference for the Nicaragua route because of climate and feasibility. @ it Times and Heights of High and Low Waters at_Fort Point, entrance to S. Francisco. Bay.

Meta Otz, aged 62 years, was found dead In her bed yesterday morning at her residence, 22" Pond street. A box | which had contained morphine —powders { was fcund under the bed. She was com- pletely dressed. Dr. Bell, who had been attending her for a long time, informed the Coroner that she had been addicted to the use of morphine for many years, as a daily habit, but not in cumulative or excessive quantities. There are two theories as to the cause of her death— one that she committed suicide, and the other that she took #n ovedose of the polson by mistake. —_— e PHOENIX, A. T., Jan. —J.

At the meeting of the Printing Commit- tee yesterday Supervisior Wynn moved that “hereafter the various departments shall first make requisition on the board for all typewriting machines and repairs. The motion was carried and unless it is complied with the bills will not be ap- proved. It has been the custom in the past for heads of departments to pro- ceed on their own acount in such mat- ters. e’fi'ne committee refused to pay 38 for two talybooks used during the recount before Judge MurasKy. The Election Com- mission filed demands on the stationery fund, but Registrar Walsh was informed that the expense should be paid out of the fund under the control of the com- mission. i It demonstrates the fact that the public are always ready to grasp advantages that have the stamp of reality.
