Deportment of Men.
Colonel Sweeney says thut In certain
particulars the discipline of the entire
guard shows change for the better, the
deportment of men after taps and the
cleanliness and sanitary condition ot
the camps being particularly notice
able. "The beuriiig and courtesy of many
men when off duty, and T nm sorry to
report some of the officers also, wns
fur from soldierly," continued Colonel
Sweeney, "the inspector general is com
pelled to reiterate what he slated in his
last teport: 'Too many men are com
missioned that are not capable, quall
lled and efficient.'
"lie would again recommeial' that .1
series of examination papers Tie com
plied by the adjutant general nii'd that
every examining board bo required to
use the same, in the examination bf ap
plicants for commission in the guard.
These papers should call for more, than
mere knowledge of the drill book. Im
portant ns is such knowledge, It alone
Is not sufficient guaranty of fitness to
command.
"In ceremonies the several organiza
tions showed to advantage. The In
spector general would Invite officers'
attention to the manual of the sword,
as given In the drill regulation. Pome
of the salutes rendered at reviews were
exceedingly faulty, showing lack of
knowledge or practice In handling tho
sword, nnd, In conse(iience,vhat should
have been graceful pioved to he both
awkward und imiullltary.
"The cavalry is In excellent condition,
the drills as a whole being entirely sat
isfactory. The troops were all well
mounted, and the horsemanship of the
troopers was generally commendable."

to use every precaution to prevent
others from opening the grave and

A whole section of the country Is
worked up . over the case. White
killed one nephew and wounded an
other in a quarrel. He was convicted
of murder hi the second degree and
sentenced to fifteen years' Imprison
ment. Rather than serve time he com
mitted suicide. Ever since there has
been a war between Ills relatives and
the people of Sprhigvillo over his body.
In the first place It had to be interred

moved from the grave one night and
thrown into a pond. The relatives re
covered It and relnterred It. Now thn
White family fear the body will be
taken away again and they have ap
pealed to the court. A decision In the

Section of tho Bill Authorises an
Appropriation of $10,000,000 tf
Begin the Woik.
By Hsxhislie Wire from The Ajoci(-d PreM.
Washington, Jan, 9. The Hepburn
Nicariiguan canal bill passed the house,
late this afternoon by practically a
unanimous vote. Only two members
out of .110 voted against It. Messrs.
Fletcher (Hep., Minn.) and Lassljer
(Deni., Vu.) were the two voting In the
negative. The opposition to commit
ting the government to the Nicariig
uan loute attempted to secure amend
ments to lodge with the president the
discretionary power to purchase and
complete the Panama canal, If it could
be purchased for $40,000,000. The test
came on the first vote, when the advo
cates of 1111 alternative route polled
102 against 170 vdtes. At each suc
ceeding vote their strength dwindled
until Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, under
whose leadership the fight wa3 mnde,
was unable to get the ayes and nays
on a motion to recommit. The bill
passed exactly as it iame from the
committee.
None of the votes except that on thn
final passage of the bill was a record
vote.
The debate which preceded the tak
ing of the final vote was made mem
orable by a clash between Mr. Hop
burn, the author of the bill, and Mr.
Cannon, chulrman ot the appropria
tions committee. On several previous
occasions they have measured swor.ds
over canal legislation. Two years ngo
a similar bill was passed by 11 vote of
1!24 to 3C,
President Authorized to Act.
The bill us passed today authorizes
the president to secure from the states
of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. In behalf
of the United Slates, control of such
11 portion of the territory belonging to
said stutes as may be desirable and
necessary on wjilch to excavate, con
struct and protect a canal suitable to
the wants of modern navigation and
commerce and appropriates such 11
sum as may bo necessary to secure the
control of said territory.
Section two authorizes the president,
after securing control of the needed
territory, to direct the secretary of
war to construct such canal from tho
Caribbean sea. at a point near Grey
town, in Nicaragua, by way of Lake
Nicaragua, to a point on the Pacific
ocean near Brito and also to construct
proper harbors at the termini of siild
canal, and to make necessary provi
sions for the defense of the canal and
harbors.
Sections three and four authorize tie
president to make such surveys as
may be necessary and to employ such
persons in constructing tho canal as
may to him seem wise, and directs
that in the construction of the canal
the liver S.in Juan nnd Lake Nicar
agua shall be used as far as they are
available.
Section five authorizes the president
to gimruntce to the states of Costa.
Rica and Nicaragua, the use or tlio
canal and harbors, upon terms to bo
agreed upon, for all vessels owned by
said stales and' by citizens thereof. ,
The last section makes a present
appropriation of $10,000,000 to carry on
this work and authorizes the secretary
of war to enter Into proper contracts
for material and work as limy in
deemed necessary therefor, sluii woik
and material to be paid for as appro
priations may be mude from time 10

cost at $180,000,000 to bo drawn from
