Senate committee may oppose Bishop and set terms for Isthmian staff
Rumors say the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals will report adversely on two or three of President Roosevelt's Isthmian Canal Commission nominees, with Joseph Bucklin Bishop most likely to be targeted. Chief Engineer John F. Stevens may become chairman if Shonts resigns due to ill health, financial ties, or age. The panel favors keeping leaders on the Isthmus, possibly requiring permanent Panama residence for the chairman and secretary.

Congress Condensed Senate and House Deliberations
The Senate debated defense funding and a tariff for Philippine forts but struck the appropriation from the bill. A $14,003,000 pension bill passed with little debate. Speech prospects focus on rate questions, while House and Senate consider canal construction fitness and a contested nomination. Leader dynamics hint at friction over Bishop.
Sea level canal favored by Wallace before Senate panel
John F. Wallace former Panama Canal chief engineer urged a sea level canal before the Senate Interoceanic Canals Committee, saying it could be completed in ten to twelve years and would repay the extra time with larger tonnage and lower through rates.
