ROBERT DE BILLY DEPARTS.
Makes Interesting Comment on
the Country From the Stand
point of a Thinker and
a Statesman.
RHTBUC SPECIAL,
New York, June 19. Robert de Billy, a
member of the mission sent to the unveil
ing of the Rochambeau statue at Washing
ton by President Loubet, and himself a.
member of the Cabinet of II. Delcasse.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, failed for
France to-day on the steamship Touralne.
M. de Bil.y declined to be interviewed on
an pMiueal subject, explaining courteous
v that bis position in the French Foreign
I'ffic preentfd. but of his visit he said:
Ameri.-a, which to the average Ftench
rnin is only a eountry where rapid fortunes
lire made. Is for the well-educated French
man a land of universities I mean a land
where knowledge is cultivated with a real
passion for truth and an entirely unpreju
diced mind. This Is a point where America
and France are closely connected. AH
French effort since the Revolution has been
toward finding laws which would apply not
only to the Frenchman, but to all man
kind. "In Franco that effort lias been success
ful, as many rations of Kurope have been
transformed bv our methods; but we paid
a high price for that result, as we had to
right against our neighbors, and even
nralnst our own citizens. You had the diffi
cult tafk of raising to the standard of Dem
ocratic principles tae millions of subjects
of Kings and Emperors, who camo over tile
ocean to vou. Hut your experiences have
been more successful in that line than ours,
because In a country where rank and title
do not exist It Is easier to make laws for
man considered as an American citizen.
Therefore, In France, we look to your
Democracy as the greatest community
where I'emocratic methods have succeeded
uuil the opinion of the well-educated Amer
ican is most valuable to us. as we believe
you to be the most Impartial of all foreign
nations on Continental affairs.
"Reciprocally. It seems that our continu
ous effort toward truth and Justice, al
though It Is met by great difficulties, de-s.i-i-i
the attention of American opinion.
and that If the unlvrslty man In America
knows all, the avenge man of the street
knows ven- little about us.
"The task of the papers and reviews and
I am aware that they already understand It
thoroughly Is to place before the eyes of
the readers all the facts showing that our
intellectual effort Is directed toward the
same end as that of the United States, and
that In affairs where America Is Interested
our opinion is the most Impartial and the
most friendly that exists on the Continent.
"I leave America, after a stay of a month,
with most agreeable memories, and I hope
the vllt r.f the Rochambeau Mission will
leave a lasting memory of good will be
tween our two Republics."

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, June 19. M. Lampre,
secretary of the new Panama Com- !
pany, who came to this country to -
make the final offer of the canal prop-
erty lor w,ihj.wu, said:
"If tho House accepts the Senate bill

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, June !. After a contest
that will be historic, the Senate to-day
passed Senator Spooner's substitute for the
Hepburn canal bill, providing for the con
struction of an Isthmian canal. It Is a bill
in the Interest of the Panama Canal Com
pany only so far as It provides that the
President shall authorize the construction
of a canal via Panama If he can get a
clear title and acquire the Panama property
for $40,000,000.
If he cannot acquire the Panama property
and get clear title, then he Is to authorize
tho construction of a cannat via. lake
Nicaragua.
The vote was not quite so close as was
expected, because, when It became appar
ent that the Spooner amendment would
win by a small margin, three or four Sena
tors flopped over.
The real test vote came on substituting
the Spooner bill, which was ayes 42, nays
34, a majority of eight.
SENATOR MORGAN SAYS
CANAL IS ASSURED.
Senator Morgan, who for neatly thirty
years has been lighting and working every
day for a Nicaraguan canal, now says that
the action of the Senate to-day. In his opin
ion. Insures a canal across the isthmus. It
was expected that he would take a very
gloomy view and Insist, as he has been In
sisting In the Senate, that the passage o
the Spooner bill would mean no canal at alL
On the contrary, he Is satisfied that the
outlook Is encouraging, and believes a canal
by way of Panama will be speedily con
structed. Interest, of course, at once shifts to the
House. It 1b expected that Representative
Hepburn, chairman of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, will fight
the Spooner amendment, but practically all
the leaders there are In favor of accepting
It rather than even the risk of going before
the people at the fall elections with no
legislation at all.
Speaker Henderson and Representatives
Payne, Cannon and Grosvenor. are all In
favor of accepting the Spooner bill. Indeed,
there Is little doubt that the Spooner bill
REED GREEN WOULD
WITHDRAW HIS NAM
Democratio Nominee for Congress
Says Father's Death Has Hade
Candidacy Impossible.
REPUBLIC SPECLVL.
Cairo, III., June 19. Reed Green to-day In
a letter to the Congressional Committee
withdraws from the candidacy for member
of Congress from this, the Twenty-fifth
Congressional District.
Since he received the nomination of the
Democratic Convention, the death of his '
father, the late Judge 'William II. Green,
occurred. This has Imposed on Mr. Green
additional private business, which demands
his attention.
The announcement of his withdrawal
causes much regret among the Democrats
and many Republicans, as many of the lat
ter would have supported him in the com
ing contest, and It Is generally believed that
had he been able to make the race, he would
have represented this district in Congress.

How much In earnest the Senate was Is
shown by the fact that It adopted as an
amendment to the Spooner bill elaborate
provisions, offered by Senator Bacon, pro
viding for the appointment of a commission
that shall have charge of construction, and
also adopted an amendment, offered by
Senator Fairbanks, which Is a provision au
thorizing the Issuance of $130,000,000 of bonds,
to be taken by popular subscription, which
are to run for ten years.
As a further Illustration that It Intends
to sta. J or fall by the Spooner bill, the
Senate went through the fiction of Insist
ing upon its amendment to the House canal
legislation, and appointed a committee to
confer with tho House Senators Morgan,
Hanna and KIttrcdge.
These three Senators, It Is expected, will
stand together because Senators Hanna and
Klttredge are enthusiastic supporters of the
Spooner bill, and Senator Morgnn has ac
quiesced In the day's work of the Senate.
The bond Issue of $130,000,000 voted by the
Senate will fall $31,000,000 short of paying
the entire cost of the Panama CanaL The
cost of constructing the Panama canal, as
estimated by the commission of which Rear
Admiral Wallter was chairman. Is $141.23$,
3.'5. as against the cost at Nicaragua of
J1S9.SS4.0C3.
But to the cost of Panama must be added
the J40.0CO.000 that is to be paid to the Pan
ama Canal Company for Its rUhts. property
and franchises, bringing the cost to $IS4,-
C0O.0O0.
HOUSE LEADERS INCLINED
TO ACCEPT SUBSTITUTE.
No sooner did the news of the passage of
the Spooner substitute reach the House
Uian a canvas of sentiment was begun by
leading members to ascertain the probable
outcome. Lieutenants of Speaker Hender
son were among the various members talk
ing over the situation and conspicuous on
the floor, as also getting at the feeling of the
House, were Representative Cannon, chair
man of the Committee ond Appropriations,
and Representative Burton, chairman of
the Commutes on Rivers and Harbors.
Representative Hepburn, the father of tho
bill in tho House, won very much disap
pointed at tho vote In the Senate, and up
to within half an hour before It was taken
hoped that the NlcarJgua route would be
one of the House conferees Uiat he should
stand out for the Houso bill, unless It
should become apparent that by this action
no legislation would result.
It Is known, however, that nearly all of
the House leaders, fearing to go before the
country with no Nicaragua canal legisla
tion passed and no Cuban reciprocity, are
now bendinc their efforts toward getting
?n acceptanco of the Spooner substitute.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, June 19. When asked
whether, in his opinion, the action of
O the Senate meant that there would be
an Isthmian canal. Senator Hanna
said: . t
& "It will mean an Uthmlan canal If
I can bring it about My own opinion
Is that the House will accept tho
Spooner bill. I know a great many
members who have changed since the
House passed the Hepburn bill. I do
not know how Mr. Hepburn feels, but
O I hope he will take the view that Sen- r
fr ator Morgan does, that the passage of
O the Spooner bill means that a canal
will be built, and will consent to the 4
acceptance by the House of this meas- p
ure.
T hope to sea a canal started very
speedily. I am pledged to do every-
thing in my power to push it"

Strikers Find More Fuel on Mar

TVllkesbarre. Pa.. June 19. Now that the
call for a special national convention has
been made for July 17. It Is not expected
there will be any very important develop
ments In the coal strike situation until that
time.
It Is not unlikely, however, that some ot
the bituminous districts will take action
similar to that of the Central Pennsylvania
District, which last nlfiht decided to cut
down the soft coal production from that
territory one-third.
More soft coal is coming; Into tho anthra
cite market from that section than the la
bor leaders expected, and they will make a
special effort to reduce the output. They
are handicapped In this effort to some ex
tent by the fact that not more than two
thirds of the 42,000 .vorkers In the district
are organized. "
A little dissatisfaction was expressed by
some of the strikers because the date of
the convention was set a month hence. They
feel that something ourIU to be done with
out waiting thirty days.
Strike leaders believe that a partial cur
tailment of coal production, or a total s-
Sension woiua nave a seriuus euect cm tne

hope that during the next montn some
plan may be devised by which such a
