WASHINGTON, Dee. B.—Friends of the
Nicaragua Canal Bill have begun to
press their measure before Congress.
Capt. Merry, of Ban Francisco, who rep
resents the Pacific Coast interests in
ths matter, is here and feels confident
the bill will pass. He says Blaine's
declaration of opposition to it will not
hurt the measure any, t>ecause there is
an acimas in what hs says, which ia ap
parently understood.
The Bute Department regards as
wise the policy to have suoh a bill aa
that now pending pass. Congress is not
asked for money or a question of bonds,
but the bill provides that the Govern
ment shall insure a profit ef 3 percent
upon the capital stock, not exoeed STS,-
(*>l,ooo, in return for which the canal
company binds itself to allow the pas
sage of American wai vessels and mails
for two hundred years. They concede
also a limit of ohargea upon shipping,
and which shall pass through the canal.

little confidenoe in the passage of the

Chicago, Deo. B.—To a reporter here
yesterday Senator Jones said that be
did not advocate the river and harbor
bill, because be couldn't find even a
two foot stream in Nevada, save the Su
tro Tunnel, and there was nothing to
apropriate for.
How do tbe people of the Pacific
slope take the President's reoomrmenda-
tion respecting the coinage of the siver
dollar?
They don't like it at all. It will an
tagonize both parties on the slope. The
fact is we live more and have our being
by business done in handling the pre
cious metals. Another thing to be con
sidered ia that the President is away off
as to the facts attending the distribution
of silver. There is no glut of dollars
in the country. The ninety million
dollars silver in the Treasury vaults is
represented by silver certificates in the
Jiands of the people. Henoe, silver is
not a burden, nor an annoyanoe, nor is
there too ranoh of it in circulation.
What do yon know abont the Mor
mons?
Quite a considerable. I have lived
among them and been acquainted with
their history from the Mountain Meadow
massacre down to now. Polygamists
do the bidding of polygamists. "The Ed
munds bill will prove of no avail in
stamping out polygamy. Something
will have to be done in the nature of a
government oyer Utah suoh as the Dis
trict of Columbia haa. The rule of the
Territory by Commissioners appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate is no good. The Mormons are
getting a greater foothold every day.
They have a big lobby in Washington
now endeavoring to make a State of
Utah. It wonld be then "hands off, no
Federal interference." It wonld be
dangerous for either party to regard the
lobby and admit Utah into the family
of States.
What do yon think of Senator Logan'*
proposition, seoonded by the President
in the message about Chinese ooolies in
Cuba not being allowed to pass through
the oountry ?
The proposition ia oombatted on the
Pacitio coast. There are 60,000 ooolies
in Cnba, and no way of identifying
them. If they were allowed to leave
Cuba for China ad libitum, they wonld
take np their quarters in this oountry,
and it would only be • pretense to ad
mit thess Chinamen now excluded un
der the treaty.

We learn that officials of the 0.N.A8.

have arranged for extending their line
from Baker City, Or., to Boise City, The
rout* is to pass through the Burnt River
pass, whieh is too narrow for oooupaucy,
we an told, by mora than one road, and
this operates to shut out the Oregon
Short Line, which is supposed to pass
through that way, and be operated in
connection with the Oregoa Navigation
and Railway Company. A large foroe of
men are at work on the grade between
Boise and Baker City. The Oregon Nav

1000 men grading on Burnt river, and
have possession of all the narrow passes,
intending to dispute the right or poeri
