action netlon betaken betoken be taken by congress upon his scheme of inter ocean ship railroads eHouse the Th i house committee he said sald has already reported favorably upon it but the matter would never neven be brought up in the house again unless action was first taken by the senate will congress reach any ally action upon it this tilis session I 1 think the chances aregust are just about even the mexican government has authorized me to pledge the proceeds of a railroad to a foreign country will much of the capital be raised abroad none if the action of congress is prop ti bous the united states is the only government to which an income will be pledged and it willbe very easy to raise the necessary capital on this side of the waters will the amount to which the e capital a tal tai was originally limited be sufficient fici cie eie ent undoubtedly how will your project affect that of de lesseps the panama canal will never be completed de lesseps however unless the united states should absolutely interdict will push work upon his lits canal a as long as a cent of money is to be had I 1 do not nob mean to say that the canal could not be constructed across the isthmus of panama but that it would never pay for the amount of capital what is the outlook for the nicaragua route that plan will never be pushed the object of those who propose it is to pre prevent vent any means whatever r of conveying ships acrons the isthmus from being affected they ask for a charter from congress and they seek no governmental assistance by this means persons who have not investigated the subject think that the route through lake nicaragua is the least expensive and practicable the fact is however they wished to carry out their plan and the company would need aid from congress the inference is plain that the proposal is merely to withdraw support from the other enterprises phelps and a few others are in in earnest but they alone will never carry it through and not a cent of capital will even be invested in nicaragua many of those who support the project are interested I 1 in n the mexico southern railroad which would be injured by the be a success of the canal or a ship
