burton Opposes the Bill.

Mr.. Burton of Ohio, who was one of the
leaders of the opposition to the bill, said:
Il yield to no one in my desire for the
early connection of the two oceans by an
isthmlan canal, but this measure does not
provide the best method of accomplishing
it, 1t ignores Solemn treaties. 1t COM
mits US 20 one route when the advantages
of all routes should be considered and com
pared. It will inevitably compel us to ac-
cept unfavorable terms as to cost and
privileges In the route selected. 1t threat
ems delay and possibly the defeat of the
undertaking. 1t would compel us to obtain
the right of way and necessary conces-
siOns from Nicaragua and Costa Rico at
any cost and invite them to fix an 'ex-
tortionate price,
He laid especial stress upon the argu-
ments that the canal should be neutral
and pointed out the fact that not only
had our government always advocated
neutral channels, but particularly with
reference to an isthafian canal, beginning
with Henry Clay, in 1926, we had until
very recently favored equal privileges 10
all nations. He also maintained that the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty was adopted rath-
er upon our insistence than that of Great
Britain; that 1T was an expression of our
settled policy, and still as binding as any
treaty or statute of the United States.
AS a solution of the whole matter, he
suggested the making of provisional trea-
ties with the governments through which
the different routes of the canal may go,
obtaining options on right-of-way and
concessions and the postponement of the
selection of the route until next Decem-

The cIayton-BuIwer Treaty.

Mr.. Hit of Illinois, opposed the bill on
account of the provision providing for
the construction of the canal after obtain

contravention of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, which he maintained was in force

CanaI should BE Neutral.

Mr. Burton, continuing said:
Nothing else but a neutral canal is in
accordance with our own record on this
matter We insisted on che removal of
the sound dues and the naturalization of
the channels near Denmark, although
they were within a cannon shot of the
shore. We insisted on the naturalization
of Magellan's Straits. We insisted on che
naturalization of the st. Lawrence river
in that part where it flows exclusively
through Canadian territory We granted
and received the neutral and equal use
of the great canals on the Canadian Dor
der, which is maintained at this time. We
have fought for this principle. The tri-
umph of Decatur and cambridge against
the pirates did not inure to our benefit
alone. but to the benefit and safety of
the commerce of the whole world. We
cannot afford to lie down upon this rec
ord To-day che administration has ask
ed and obtained from the Powers of Eu-
rope assurance of an open door in China
a diplomatic triumph. Does no one see
the humor that appears in asking those
concessions there and yet proposing to
close the waterways between the two
oceans to the other nations of the world
for preferential advantages here? But
there is no advantage to be gained by
such exclusion
Mr. Hepburn did not this govern
ment specifically refuse to participate in
that series of treaties that secured the
naturalization of the Suez canal, being
the only nation that specifically did re-
fuse TO do ihat?'
Mr.. Burton: "The refusal was only be-
cause it involved an implication of partic-
patton In the affairs of the Eastern hem
lsphere in which we did not wish to en-
gage"

RAILROAD NEWS.
What the Santa Fe Has Done
in the Past IL Years.
From Kansas East to Chicago
and West to the Coast.
EVENT OF THE YEAR
Will Be the Opening of the Line
Into San Francisco.
Only Road With Its Own Tracks
From Chicago to the Pacific.

Probably the most important event in
the railway history of the present year
will be the opening of the new through
line of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe road July 1. This will be the first
company that has ever had a line over
its own tracks between Chicago and the
Pacific coast and much Importance is
attached to this announcement.
Until twelve years ago the Santa F'e
was a strictly Kansas system. Though
it had lines reaching some distance over
the borders of the state its principal
business was within this common
wealth. Then it was decided that the
system was incomplete unless it secured
a route to Chicago This was an ex-
penSive proceeding, but was success
fully executed Subsequently the west
ern ends of the road were extended.
Though the Chicago line was valuable
to the system as a whole, it required
several years to build up a profitable
business This has been worked up,
until now the Santa Fe is considered
the strong Chicago Kansas City line.
Then came the company's through
service to southern California. This
made a hit at once and the tourist and
fruit business has made it one of the
most profitable lines in the country
boom southern California as a winter
resort and luxurious limited trains were
put in service. Though the company
has from time to time added to this
service during the past winter its equip
ment was taxed to the utmost to ac-
cOmmOdate the travel.
When President Ripley assumed
charge of the system, five or six years
ago he reorganized it. He also began
to lay plans for the conquest of upper
California, particularly San Francisco.
When the persons who started to build
the San Francisco and San joaquin
Valley road, to give them a competitor
of the Southern Pacific, gave up the
task the Santa F'e purchased the line
and finished it to San Francisco
About two months ago the line was
opened for freight traffic and now the
company announces that it is ready to
land passengers in the metropolis of the
golden gate state. The new line will be
the first real competitor the Southern
Pacific has had.

FOUND SOUL IN DISTRESS.
Remarkable Visit of Mrs, Willis to
the City. Jail.

A little woman dressed in blue called
at the police station Sunday evening and
asked if there was not old woman con-
fined there who had been sick or in
trouble at about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. She was informed by the jailer that
a woman was there and that she had
called him at about that hour and had
complained of feeling bad. He said she
was crying when he went to her. The
visitor than stated that she had been
troubled in her sleep and at O'Clock
something seemed to tell her that there
was q woman past middle age IN jail
who was in great trouble. She said she
had been unable TO rest after that and
had come to see the woman She was
taken to the room where Mrs. Wight
with her for q. talk, as she thought she
could do her soul some good. She re-
the jailer went up had just finjshed CIV
ing Mrs. Wight massage treatment.
In answer to questions put to her she
said: am not splrltuallst and do
not believe in spirits. 1 am a member
of the Presbyterian church and of the
Universal Brotherhood. a society whose

She learned that Mrs Wights daugh-
ter was sick and wanted to go at once
to see if she could not be of some help
but it was getting late, so she went home.
She gave her name as Mrs. Willis, and
said she had been here about a week
Her husband is the owner of the famous
trotter Silkwood, and their home is in
Santa Ana, Cal. She seemed anxious 20
avoid publicity and that with her earnest
manner and honest effort to help a total
stranger prove she has faith in her
strange visions and that they result in
good.
She told of several instances where she
had been able to be of benefit to people
in distress and said that her husband
would laugh at her and attempt to dis
suade her from following up her inclf-
nation to aid those who had excited the
feeling, but that she would worry until
she was sick unless she did. 1t is really a
matter of health with her, because she
cannot rest until she has made effort
to aid in some way the sufferer who has
visited her in the dream or vision.
Mrs. Willis is not a woman who gives
readings or hearings or goes into a
trance and gets a glimpse of the future;
neither does she see spirits She is a
quiet little woman who tries to do good.

the seemingly unnatural in the method of
her learning of the woman in jail who
needed both moral and material aid.
