NICARAGUA CANAL.
Indications That Compromise
Will BE Agreed To.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The indi-
cations from the conference on the
river and harbor appropriation bill are
that a compromise on the Nicaragua
Canal amendment will be agreed to.
One of the recent propositions made
and being discussed is for an appro-
priation of $5.O00,O0O. with the au-
thorization of the President to investi-
gate both the Panama and Nicaragua
routes, and when the best route is
found the Secretary of War is to so
ahead with the work and enter into
contracts for it's completion. There is
some objection to this plan, and it may
be modified. 1t seems to have been
determined that some canal legislation
will be passed.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, July 21.-In the House Of
building vote, the Rt. Hon. George j.
Goschen, First Lord of the Admiralty,
said that there had been no change in the
policy of foreign Governments, and so
there was nothing to induce the British
Government to change theirs, which was
to maintain equality with the fleets of
Russia and France, in whose programmes,
however, he saw no menace to England
Abiding to the use of electricity in the
navy Mr.. Goschen said:
Both the United States and japan are
now naval powers sufficiently important
to make us think we ought to have a ma
val attaChe in those countries. AS attache
to the Government at Washington we are
going to appoint an official especially COM
petent to deal with electrical matters"

for not entering into some agreement with

proach the colonies on the subject unless
they displayed disposition to volunteer
their assistance in sharing the burdens of
the empire AT the present moment, how
ever, proposals were being submitted for
Canadas consideration, the nature of
which he could not now indicate.

BRADY OF ALASKA
OPPOSED TO TRUSTS
Writes to Sayers of Texas, Regretting
That He Cannot Attend the
Conference

AUSTIN, Tex, July Ex-Governor
Sayers to-day received a, letter from Gov
ernor John G.. Brady of Alaska on the
subject of the proposed antitrust confer
ence to be held in st. Louis. Brady says
81 shall not be able to accept your In
vitatiOn, because 1 have mapped out a
trip down the Yukon River to St. Michael
from there to the seal islands and around
the coast back to Sitka. The subject of
trusts is one of the most important of our
time, and just how to grapple with it and
control it is serious problem. Some of
our States are no doubt lax In making it
easy for any and all kinds of corporations
to be created. 1t would seem therefore
proper that remedies be applied. Here in
Alaska we have not suffered very much
save only as to prices of such staple
commodities as have been raised by
trusts We feel here that capital must
be encouraged by allowing it to combine
under suitable laws. for it requires such
to undertake the development of our re-
sources here III Alaska. / am certainly in
favor of regulating these vast combina-
petition and limit production according to
what they think 1t should be. l hate to
see all small dealers driven to the wall
and do not believe that it is good public
policy to allow it. Perhaps no better time
in our history could occur for this great
problem to arise and have the people care
fully deliberate upon 1t and settle it. 1
wish you all success in your efforts"
