E. Lampre, Stcretarj- Gemral of the Panama Canal Campaiiv-, arrived In "Washington this evening to take charge of tho negotiations lool.irg to the ralo ot tho canal property to tho Tinted ttate! SI. Lainpie will consult with Rear Ad-r lral Walker, chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commlrslon. to-morrow, and. about the time of this meeting, tho House of Representatives v.ill begin tho debate on the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal bill, which probabl.v '11 bo passed either on Wednesday or Thursday.

Then Is no ground j-ct for tho statement that the offer of the French company will make uny great change In the canal Fitua- tion in CongTe.s. Slany members are in favor of giving the Punama offer full con-(iden-tion. At the same time the fe.dlng in favor of the Nicaragua route Is very strong In both houses. Realizing this the frlerds of Panama are now endeavoring tc bring about a change In programme, under which a bill will be passed by both houses providing for the eorttructlon of an Isthmian canal, making a preliminary appropriation therefor, but leaving the selection for a route to the Fie-ddem of a commission to be named by him. This programme certainly will not be approved bv the President and his Cabinet.

Sir. Roosevelt has considered the effect of the Panama offer. He feels It Is not his dutr to select the canal routa. Congress must make the decision and he will execute Its will "Nicaragua Project Holds It Own. That tho Nicaragua project has not lost headway, as was expected, in view of the Panama offer, was revealed after a meeting of the Sennto Committee on Inter-oceanic Canals to-day.

Senator Jlomn called a meeting of his assistants for the purpose of takirg action on his bill providing for the construction of the canal. There was small attendance and no ac-tlnn was taken, but it deve'oped that a ma-jorltj- of the committee can be safely counted on by the friends of the Nicaragua route. All of the Democratic members favor Nicaragua. These are Slorgan, Culberson. Harris and Turner.

Snators Hawley and Piatt of New York are nl-o in favor of Nicaragua. Th's makes a majority of the commltte. and it is presumed that Senators Hanna, Slitchell. Krttrlde. Siil'ard ani Pritchard will be with tho majority when the Issue comes.

This may be taken to mean that the Panama proposition is not likely to be serlou-ly ccnsidc-ed by the Senate Committee on Canals. It maj ilo be taken to mean that the mnvmnt eoi'teiap'ated last WkCit to rtfer the Slorpan bill for acquiring the territory for the Nicaragua Canal ck to tho committe will probably not sueceeod. All In all. tho diVtiopirents of the day hav not been such as to giv SI Lampre of the Pcnama Canal Company much encouragement in his efforts to sell the canal property to the United States.
