Canal Bill Reported by Senate Committee Amid Park Troop Withdrawals
The canal bill linking Puget Sound to Lake Washington was favorably reported by the Senate Commerce Committee. General Greely reports the practical withdrawal of federal troops from San Francisco as local authorities approve the plan. Senator Rayner opposes foreign purchases of canal supplies and argues for buying where prices are cheapest, including opposition to a proposed provision favoring Scotland for dredges. The Roosevelts return on the Mayflower and statehood talks for Arizona and New Mexico stall.
