ISTHMIAN CANAL TREATY.
Neither United States Nor England
 Has Sacrificed Principle.

Washington. Oct. S.-There has been no surrender by England to the United States in the matter of the new lsthmian Canal treaty, according to the best au- thority here. It is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no principle in these negotiations and the effect of contrary statements is deprecat- ed as likely seriously to ieopardize the chances of the consummation of the con- vention which shall finally and peacefully settle an issue that has been a source Of danger for the past fifty years.
 It Is said that what actually has hap Tered is that each side has preserv ed the underlying principle of the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty and the new convention will provide for a waterway. neutral at all times and open to commerce of the world. The Clayton -Bulwer treaty, however, drawn half a century ago, has proved to be defective in mechanism for giving ef- feet to this purpose. The new treaty simply provides this mechanism. Eng land is relieved from the guarantee which. in her case, was only troublesome and which being assumed by the United States in toto, is quite as effective As viewed from the American point of view, even. there was no surrender on Eng lands part in seeking this relief inas- much as the above mentioned principle is reiterated and affirmed as binding upon the United States. As for the form of the treaty. it may be stated that it em- bodies in substance the amendments to the Hay-Paunccfote treaty which were adopted by the Senate, and beyond that the changes are believed to be teXtual rather than substantial.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs MEETING
Delegates from Commercial Bodies
 in Convention.

Baltimore, Oct. S.-More than 200 dele gates from the various boards ot trade and commercial bodies in the principal cities in the United States gathered here today for the purpose of discussing the public improvement of rivers and harbors in the United States. They will remain in session for two and perhaps three days, during which they will be hand somely entertained by the local board of trade. Twenty-Five cities are represented by the delegates present.
 The purpose of the Congress is explain ed in the opening paragraphs of the ad- dress of Congressman Theodore E. Bur ton chairman of the River and Harbors Committee in Congress, who made the opening address to the delegates today. He said, in parts
 "I take it the movement which led to this convention was prompted by desire to awaken general interest in river and harbor improvements and to bring the commercial bodies which are represented here into closer touch with legislation upon this subject.
 q am informed it is not desired that any specific project shall be advocated here but at the same time you consider the improvement of the naNgable chan nels and ports of the country as essential for our development and that these ports and channels require the fostering care
 
 | ment With this view, 1t is in your power to educate public opinion and to organ | ize efforts for the enactment of legisla- | ton which shall be national in its scope and for the benefit of the whole people.
 'In view of necessary limitations in the | amounts appropriated in river and haf- | bor acts and the pressing need for deeper channels and improved facilities along es- tablshed lines of traffic, 1t is better to appropriate for localities where traffic is | already established than where it's devel- opment Is uncertain or problematical. In lease of a plurality of claims even if equally desirable when money is not available for all, it is more business-lke to finish one and obtain results from it than to make piece meal appropriations upon all"
 The following officers were elected: President G. E. Bartol. Philadelphia: Sec rstary Vim. II. Fore, Baltimore; Assistant R. rs sheTw0od NS% dr1eans and f. A. Scott, Cleveland. o. ] A. feature of the afternoon session was an address by former United States Sen substance of the Senator's address was | as follows: "The necessity for the inn | provement and development of our com merce was never greater than It is now | The only way to meet the keen competi- | tion of foreign countries is to offer equal | facilities for the immense steamships that are now engaged in ocean trade We | want harbors all along the coast that will accommodate the largest ships that cross the ocean.
 we must have in addition such lines | that will reach from one end of the | country to the other without the neces- sity of taking such long. roundabout | way. mean that we need some large canals connecting the various naVigaole bodies of water
 | Other addresses of a similar tenor were | delivered by members of the various del | egations.
