' Washington, Feb. 4.—The house

report on the Hepburn Nicaragua ca-
nal bill with amendments as a substi-
tute for the Morgan bill passed by the
senate.
When the subject wai taken up at
the meeting of the commerce commit-
tee yesterday it was at first deter-
mined without the formality of a vote
that Chairman Hepburn'B bill should
be reported as embodying the sense
of the committee. The main question
was as to expediting legislation. For
this purpose Mr. Covering of Massa-
chusetts moved that the Morgan sen-
ate bill be taken up and all after the
enacting clause be stricken out and
the Hepburn bill substituted. This was
approved and the substitute was then
uarged In some particulars. On mo-
i'ion of Mr. Barham of California lb":
equireraent .or full ownership and
overeignty over the route was strick-
n out. An amendment by Mr. Sher
Inan of New York, authorizing the

chase Is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the treasury not other-
wise appropriated.
Sec. 2. That when the president has

ferred to, he shall direct the secretary
of rar to excavate and construct a
canal and waterway from a point on
the shore of the Caribbean sea near

AND
RECOIID
To N«rf« Gould Roads.
New York, Feb. 4.—The plan for
merging the Gould southwestern fall-
roads into the Missouri Pacific system
has progressed to an extent that it Is
given out that the terms of exchange
on Texas and Pacific stock will be on
the basis of two shares of Texas and
Pacific for one of the Missouri Pacific,
stock, and the Texas and Pacific sec-
onds, or Incomes, will be given a fixed
charge collateral trust 3 per cent bond*
on an erven exohange. Something of
this kind has been proposed by some
of the interests In the two parties for
a long time, but it Is only lately that
matters took shape enabling those
who were In favor of it to control the
situation.
The combination when complete will
include the Missouri Pacific, Iron Moun-
tain, International and Great North-
ern and Texas and Pacific, with their
branches and connections. The Iron
Mountain and Missouri Pacific are now
practically one, and the International
and Great Northern Is closely held by
the Goulds, so that the settlement in
the Texas and Pacific case makes iteasy
tocarry out any consllidation scheeme
approved by the Goulds.
It lias been known for some time
that the Goulds are planning to con-
solidate all their railroad interests
much after the Vanderbilt plan In the
New York Central and the Lake Shore
deal. Mr. Gould has decided it is much
easier to be at the head of one system
which controls the others than to have
many systems independent of one an-
other, and of course it is much cheap-
er to operate them that way. The
Cotton Beit is not included in the deal.

| Washington, Feb. 4.—The inquiry or-
| dered by the house of representatives
| as to what members had forfeited their
J seats by reason of accepting other of-
1 dices, ended yesterday with a finding
| by the judiciary committee that MaJ.
] Gen. Wheeler, a member from Ala-
bama; Col. James R. Campbell oi Il-
linois, Col. David G. Colson of Ken-
tucky and MaJ. Edward Robblns of
Pennsylvania had vacated their seats
in the house by accepting commissions
in the army. At the same time the
committee determined that none of the
members of congress serving on civil
j commissions had thereby vacated their
seats in the house.
Gen. Wheeler was seen after the
| finding was announced, but askedjto
: be excused from commenting on the
j decision as it was in the nature of a
j judicial proceeding. It is said that
i Gen. Wheeler and bis associates will
| take no action for the present, as the
| finding of the committee is yet to be
i passed upon by the house.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The controver-
j sy in the senate over the vote upon
j the various resolutions interpretive of
the peace treaty took an acute turn
j yesterday. The opposition to a vote
first came from the friends of the
treaty, who held to the theory that it
! could be ratified without compromise.
Those who apparently were then will-
ing that a vote should be taken, held
an opposite view and absolutely re-
j fused to agree to a time for taking
a vote.
| The contest occurred in the executive
session and an hour and a quarter was
spent in a vain endeavor on the one
side to get an agreement for a date
! for a vote upon the resolutions and
on the other in a more successful ef-
fort to bring the day's session to a
close without allowing anything to be
accomplished in that direction

In accordance with a resolution by
Mr. Morris the chair appointed Sena-
tors Morris Johnson and James as a

the way of appropriations of the thret'
state lunatic asylums and of the or-
phans home.
Judiciary committee No. 1 reported
adversely Mr. Grinnaa's bill providing
for taking ex parte deposition of par-
ties to suits and agents of corpora
tlons.
The committee on asylums reported :
favorably on Mr. Tucker's house bill
appropriating $50,000 to erect an

Mr. Dlbrell's bill came up for con-
sideration on engrossment.

slightly correcting the bill was adopt-
ed. \
Mr. Atlee offered an amendment re-
lating to the definition of libel. Lost.
In the section of the bill relating to
what the defendant may give in evi-
dence'under the general issue, an
amendment by Mr. Greer was adopted
i changing "the general character of
the plaintiff," to "the general reputa-
tion of the plaintiff on the subject of
the alleged libel."
Mr. McGee offered an amendment
striking out part of section 2 of tho
bill.
Mr. Atlee offered a substitute for Mr.
McGee's amendment.
Mr. Dibreli objected to both the
amendment and the substitute and in
doing so showed the merit of the libel
bill and declared that the bill is not
for the benefit of the press as som •
seem to think, but 'hat it is for the
protection of the people, in the matter
that reputable newspapers cannot pub-
lish the very news that is of vital im-
portance to the people of the state
and declared it is not protecting the
press.
Mr. Stafford favored the substitute
as against the amendment, but would
oppose the substitute if adopted in lieu
of the amendment and favored the bill
in its present form.
Mr. McGee in speaking to his amend-
ment said that he offered the bill to
bring the issue squarely before the
senate and that while he was in favor
of legislation on this subject he hail
not made up his mind on the bill and
asked that it be made the special order
for Wednesday.
Mr. McGee's motion was carried
after several amendments had been
adopted. One by Mr. Johnson chang-
ing from five to ten days before elec-
j tion day the. time within which a cor-
rection or retraction can be made as
to libeling a candidate for public office
