Isthmian Canal Bill Shelved Amid Senate Moves
A Washington dispatch reports that the Isthmian canal bill is shelved for the session as Senate Republicans block its consideration. The action follows quiet behind the scenes pressure, with Senator Allsom noting no vote is planned, and Speaker Platt’s Amen Corner dinners highlighted as political influence. The piece also notes the rejection of Captain William Crozier for a key post by Senator Proctor and shifts toward younger officers.
