PLANSANDHOPESOUTLINED Its Itcprcsmtatives Lefore the House Comm .tuee on Commerce —Conqection from Ocean to Ocean in Three Years I’rmn iscd. “lashing-ton, D. C., Jan. 19.--\7\7hflt is known as the. Grace-Cragin-Eyre syn- dicate, organized to construct the Nic- aragua canal, had a hearing yesterday before the house committee on com- merce. The syndicate was represented by Edward F. Cragin of Chicago, who has been one of the most active figures in the organization; Colonel David Mc— Clure of New York, attorney for the syndicate, and Frank S. ‘V‘Vashburn, con ilting engineer. Colonel McClure made the opening statements, showing the standing of the syndicate by reading a list of the financiers constituting it. The list in- cluded Messrs. John J. Astor, Levi P. Morton, .Robert =Goelet, W. R. Grace, John D. Crimmins, John A. McCall, E. R. Ladue, Warner Miller, W. B. Sloan and many others prominent in bank- ing and financial circles. These gentlemen, Colonel McClure said, had not embarked on any senti- mental project; they had examined in- to;t91e entire question from a strictly business standpoint. They were satis- fied with the practicability of the Isth- mian waterway and believed that the concessions of Nicaragua to the old Nicaragua Canal Company was about to expire, going out of existence under the terms of the concession on October 9 next. They determined, therefore, to take up the matter where it was likely to be left when the old concession end- ed. , Mr. Stewart, Republican of New Jer- sey, asked if this was not a. violation of the terms of the old concession, which provided for a renewal. Colonel McClure did not consider it a violation, as he said the spirit of the old concession was that work should progress steadily. But the oili- cers of the old company conceded. he said, that no work had been done since 1893, done since 1889-’90. So that, he con- tinued, the work had not proceeded with ordinary diligence, and it was but natural to expect that Nicaragua Would hold that the spirit of the old conces- sion was not observed. He said he had no controversy with the old company, but his statement was in response questions on the old concession. With this end in View the syndicate had gone to Nicaragua and secured a contract for a concession which was to come into existence in October when the old concession terminated. Chairman Hepburn, Republican 'of Iowa, asked if this concession came into existence next October, under the terms of the contraét, without further action. - Colonel McClure answered that no further action was necessary in creat- ing the concession beyond the details of the contract. The contract created a present interest, to begin, like certain leases, in the future. When asked how soon the funds would be forthcoming and work would begun, Colonel McClure said: i “In three years we will have COT- munication from ocean to ocean. In a letter to thepresident the presidént of the company says that twenty il- lion dollars will be" spent at once; , e will have results in three years." ; In reply to questions, Colonel Mc- Clure said that the syndicate had paid one hundred thousand dollars to Nic- aragua, and had agreed to pay f ur hundred thousand dollars more in six months. l He regarded the new concessionas much more advantageous than the old one, as it was in perpetuity, and also because it gave rights of control and police for five miles on either side of the route. These benefits made it more easy to interest capital. * The rights of Costa Rica in the canal were gone into. Colonel McClure said that «these rights were not considerable, as the great highway was across Nicaragua. It was intended, however, to acquire all rights essential from Costa Rica.

Addresses the Senate Upon ms Anti-Ex- mansion Resolution. Vv’ashington, D. (3., Jan. 19.-—At the Opening of yesterday's session of the Senate, the chaplain, in the invocation, Russell Young, librarian of Congress. Mr. Davis, chairman .of the committee on foreign relations, withdrew his no- tice given yesterday of an executive session, on account of the announced speech of Mr. Bacon of Georgia. but gave notice that to-day, at the con- clusion of the speech of Mr. Turner of Washington, he would ask the Senate to go into executive session. Mr. Perkins of California, of the na- val affairs committee, called up the resolution providing for the admission to the Naval Academy as students, Ri- cardo Yglesias of Costa Rica and A1- berto Venezuela Montana of Colum- bia. Mr. Gear of Iowa moved to amend the resolution with reference to young Yglesias by adding the name of Oscar Deignan of Iowa, one of the Merrimac heroes, but later, at the request of several senators, withdrew the amend- ment. Both resolutions were adopt- ed. Mr. Bacon of Georgia then addressed the Senate upon his anti-expansion res-. olutions, which were presented l‘a‘st week. During the course of his remarks the senator referred to England and the Nicaragua canal. “The objtct of England,” he said, “is that if war should come in the East, the United States may be drawn into ‘ it, and that she may have this coun- try as an ally. If that war comes it will not be confined t0=the Orient. It will involve every nation of the uni- verse.” The Nicaraguan bill was then taken up. The House, under a special rule. adopted last week. devoted the day to the consideration of bills reported from the committee on inter-state and for- eign commerce.

I-l'e persisted in his refusal to give any information as to the whereabouts of the missing jewels. The court ordered that the 320 pounds found upon him when he was arrested belg'iven to the Duchess of Suther— land. Speeches by Telephone. Chicago.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.--Lieuten- ant Commander I. Harris, who was in command of the repairship Vulcan on the ill-fated expedition which termin- ated in the loss of the Spanish cruiser Maria, Teresa on Cat island, has been honorably discharged from the naval service of the United States.

The Osage Indians are probably the wealthiest people per capita on earth, are aristocrats and scorn manual la- bOr, according to Agent Pollock’s an- nual report to the Interior Depart- ment. They own over 800 acres of land for each man, woman and child, each receiving an annuity of over $203 in cash. As an illustration, if an Indian and his wife have eight children, the an.- nual cash income of the family is over $2,000. Rather leading his white brother in this respect, he prefers the conveniences, luxuries and dissipa- tions of village life to agricultural avo« cation. He loves to sing and dance and rest, and he has plenty of money to support his family in idleness... Philadelphia Time‘s.- Good for the Stomach. Vinol—Wine of Cod Liver Oil, we have found by experience to be actually beneficial to the stomach. The chief objection to cod liver oil was the fat and grease which would disturb the disease-weakened stomach and make what would otherwise have been a. val- uable remedy, impractical. Because Vinol contains all the medicinal parts of cod livei oil, and none of the fat itself, its desirability may well be understood. Mr. W. L. Wood, a prominent chemist of Pawtucket, R. I., in talking of Vinol, says :-t “N ow you have discovered away to extract the active curative principles from the liver of the cod, and have found out how to leave behind the useless and stomach-disturbing grease, you have been able to give to sufferers from wasting diseases a most valuable medi- cme. With Vinol people will no longer sicken and die from such diseases, because they are now enabled to take enough of the medicinal elements of cod liver oil to benefit themselves, without deranging their digestive organs." We have seen, as many other chemists have, this most desirable point in regard to Vinol fully illustrated in many instances. Yours very truly, ‘ Special Vinol representative. PLAISTED’S drug store.
