The Nicaragua Canal Debate Delivers Senate Wrangle
The Senate debated the Nicaragua Canal bill amid heated exchanges on Britain’s role and the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. West warned war with Great Britain would ruin commerce, while Edmunds pressed caution. Earthquake and feasibility concerns were raised, and after adjournment the issue moved to conference. The House then considered district judge salaries, debating a $5000 base and a potential $500 raise, with votes deferred pending a later session.
