t.need not delay the inception of plans,
or the beginning Of work, but is likely

supply sufficient elasticity IN design to
meet any margin cf uncertainty i,ivolv-
ed IN these considerations. II view OF
the international character and relation
| of a part at least of the works that will
| be REQUIRED and of the riparian interests
involved, it seems expedient to make
the examinations and projects and carry
on the work through commission that
may be possessed with certain limited
International functions.
It is possible that the measurement
of the outflow Of the lakes and final
levels can be as well done through some
other agency, and this item may be
taken at $3.50, 200, to be expended
through a series Of years, and this should
be at once undertaken on account OF the
prevailing low water of the lake system,
which cannot be expected to continue.
ssThe specific surveys and investiga-
tions are in themselves estimated at
$3.50, GOO and will take from two to
three years, and Of this not less than
$50, 900 should be appropriated the
first year, along with such additional
sums as may be required for measuring
the outflow of the lakes, of which $780,
600 should be made available during
the first year y
The commission reports that the Ca
madam commission appointed for the
same purpose has furnished much i'm
portant information. The document
gives many statistics relating to the
traffic on the great lakes. It says that
the agricultural competition this coun-
Try has recently had to meet with India,
and which is likely to be intensified,
impels the government to take steps to
cheaper heights; that the limit of re-
duction in railroad rates has been reach
ed, and attention must be directed to
waterways. In referring to wheat the
commission expresses fear OF the conse-
quences Of the increasing competition
from the Argentine Republic and Uru-
quay. The rapid development OF the
American iron ore business on the lakes
indicates that with access to the ocean
by practical waterway. we can control
our domestic business and enter into
competition in any market Of the world

WATERWAY TO THE SEA.

Wal EhVfA4 III -GFVE OGA.
After abandoning many of our canals
and taking that part Of our freight that
could be sent by water from the boat
scompanies we are again sensibly turning
to the question Of water transportation
IS seems little strange to hear men de-
nounce railroad 1aonopolies one day and
the next do their shipping by railroads,
when it could be done by water. Prob
ably some of our denunciations are not
entirely sincere.
The question Of a deep water way to
HE sea is one of importance to the en-
tire country The commission, consisting
of J. b. Angel, J. e. Russell and l. e.
Cooley, has recently submitted its report
to congress, the conclusions Of which
read as follows:
s.First.-That it is entirely feasible
90 construct such canals and develop
such channels as viii be adequate for
any scale of navigation that may be de-
sired between the great lakes and the
seabroad and to conduct through the
same domestic and foreign commerce,
and that it viii be wise to provide for
securing channel of a navlgable depth
of not less than rs :eet.
Second. That starting from the
heads of Lakes Michigan and Superior
the most eligible route is through the
several great lakes and their intermedi-
ate channels and the proposed Niagara
ship canal JTonawanda to Olcott) to
Lake Ontario, and that the Canadian
seaboard may be reached from Lake On
tario by the way Of the ST. Lawrence
river, and the American seaboard may
5 be reached from Lake Ontario by way
of the st. Lawrence and Lake Cham
plain and the Hudson river or by way OF
the Oswego, Oneida Mohawk valley and
the Hudson river.
s.Third. That the alternative routes
from Lake Ontario to the Hudson river
require complete surveys and full de-
yelopment of economic considerations to
determine their relative availability.
sFourth.-That a moderate control
Of the level Of Lake Erie and of the Nj
aeara river above Tonawanda may be
justified in connection with the Niagara
ship canal, the determination in this
matter to rest on full examination Oh
the physical conditions.
sFifth.-That the policy should con-
template the ultimate attainment of the
largest successful capacity, and that all
works should be planned on this basis
ard that the actual execution should
conform thereto i'll so far as the works
may without prejudice be progressively
developed with the actual demands OF
commerce.

to make a practically continuous rail that

tage Of this equipment is two-fold. 1t
avoids the slight surface openings between

car the jolting thumps that are so disa-

such enterprises. This is the opportunity

gard to the possible cost of the innovation

According TO news dispatch printed to-
day certain member of the Ontario Tegis-
lature. a leader among the conservatives
OF that body. has put himself publicly on
record as objeot ting to the passage through
the Canadian canals of the Old Yantic
which this government proposes to place
on the great lakes as training ship for
the naval militia This man bases his OBJ
lection mainly on the use of the canals
that are now under Canadian control rather
than on an accretion of the fighting force
OF the United States on the border line II

OF the YaEtic through to the lakes it re-
duces the case to very simple proportions,
Dominion legislator a note of real concern
lest the United States has sought to in
crease its armament along the line that is
rev covered by the treaty limiting each
government to the maintenance of a sin
gle war vessel on the lakes This eonten-
rion is manifestly absurd II is the part of
wisdom that the provisions Of :he treaty
should be insisted upon by each govern
ment. and that the prohibition against
armament that has prevailed On the lakes
for many years be made as permanent as
the peace itself But the purpose of the
transfer OF the Yantic is wholly different
from that which would suggest the con-
struction of modern successor 10 the old
Michigan or would seek to introduce ar
other ship of war upon those waters by
stealth or subterfuge. The United States
IS proud of the development of its naval
militia. and seeks TO perfect the system
wherever possible. and to make the force
as reliably efficient the limits of mod
crate appropriations will allow. 1t cannot

Suburban Express Deliveries.

There is a measure of Justice in the COM
plant of the citizen who wrote the commu-
nication printed in yesterdays Star con-
corning the charges of the express COM
ranies for deliveries beyond the bound
ary." This line separating the city from
the rural section of the District has long
stree ceased to be of practical use. 1t Is
allowed to remain the legal Limitation to
strictly urban conditions, however, to the
confusion of many interests and the provo
cation of such controversies as that over
the delivery charges. The express COM
panies contend. with some justice, that
they cannot afford to make long hauls
for the same rate as short hauls, and they
therefore adopt the expedient of establish
ing a limitation beyond which a larger
fee is assessed no matter how far beyond
the line the delivery may be. This limit is.
or seems to be. the boundary line created
by Florida avenue. and many inequalities
have arisen since the unprecedented devel-
opinent of suburban Washington because
of this arbitrary regulation
The Star has Voluntarily agreed to dis
regard the boundary In the matter of its
deliveries. and now sends its issues to the
furthermost limits of the District by car
rier for the same rate that charged
liShments that have awakened to the fact
of the existence OF a greater Washington
have adopted the same rule. and the resist
ence to the express companies to the new
conditions is therefore the more noticeable.
If it be true. as it may be, that there is
no profit in the hauling of goods or trunks
to and from the suburban sections for the
same rate as that charged for strictly
city service, a remedy is at hand calcu-
lated to create less prejudice against the
companies than the rule now prevailing.
Let there be established by common con-
sent among the delivery companies a Sc
ries of zones with certain point in the
heart of the business section of the city
as a center. These zones, based upon the
experience of the companies in the matter
of city and suburban deliveries, could be
graded in the rates in such manner that
rot only would there be a definite under
standing on the Fart of all patrons, but
there would be no Determinations such as
now arise owing to the inequalities of the
statutory city section. There need be no
more than three rates at most, and prob
ably two rates would suffice to allow a rea-
sonable degree of latitude to the companies

that the influences now busy with the ma

question of union are selfishly interested in
the defeat of the project. and that the
representations on this subject that sug-
gest the inalienable right of the natives to
decide the matter wholly by themselves are
put forth by INSCRIPTIONS and untrust-
worthy agencies. 'Kamehameha" leaves lit
tie doubt that the Kanaka does not at
present appreciate either his own dangers
or that OF his government, and has no full
understanding of the benefits sure to flow
to him from union with this country His
indifference in the case Is exploited by
the enemies of annexation as Indicative of
an active opposition, whereas 1t appears
to be only due to his inability to measure
the possibilities of the future.

The result of the trial Of the sheriff and
his posse Will OF course determine the la
biiity of this government for foreign sub
jec;s. whether of Austria CT any other
government, who may have persisted at
Lattimer. If life was unlawfully taken
there this government, not as an obliga-
ton but in observance of a precedent 1t
voluntarily set and has followed, will prob
ably, in the way of an appropriation of
money. answer to the families and descend
ants Of such foreign subjects. But If 1t is
held that the sheriff and his posse were
within their rights under the law, and that
the who lost their lives. were law
breakers at the time. then there will be no
obligation on this government whatever.
Aus:ria's subjects and those of every other
foreign power when in the United States
must obey the laws of the United States,
and are entitled to no immunity when re-
sisting those laws
If the Pennsylvania sheriff and his posse
are acquitted, the opportunity will be an
excellent one for stating the case to Aus
tria very thoroughly, and in that way for
serving notice all others whom it may
concern. The foreign element of our popu-
laticn not entitled to citizenship and not
asking to enjoy acknowledgement in the
country only for the good wages paid-is
very large. and is becoming prominent and
aggressive in labor troubles. This element
Is subject. as citizens are. to the laws of
the United States, and this fact cannot be
too strongly impressed either on that ele-
ment or on any government to which any
portion of that element may owe other
allegiance. The highest allegiance that ele-
ment owes while residing in the United
States is allegiance to the laws which
govern this country.
