DISSATISFIED WITH HUTIN.
Dissension Reported Among the Pan.
anna Canal Stockholders.

There is trouble in the directory of the
French Panama Canal Company between
that element which desires to Sell the
property to the United States and those
who claim that the ditch can be COM
pleted without reference to the desires of
this Government.
1t was learned yesterday that recently
official representations have been made to
members of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion by Bruno Barilla formerly engineer
in-chief of the old Panama Canal Com
pany. and large stOekholder in the pres
ent company. to the effect that majority
Of the stockholders have become dissatis-
fed with NJ. Hutin, the President. The
reason assigned for their dissatisfaction
is that NJ. Hutn has put his personal in
terests ahead of those of the company.
In order to have himself retained as
president, which position he believes will
bring him enduring fame. NJ. Hutin has,
it is said, failed TO properly enlighten his
associates in France as to the real senti-
ment of this country against the French
Panama Company. He has, il is under
stood, led them to believe that there is
every chance of the United States enter
ing into a partnership with the French
men to complete the canal. than which. it
is pointed out here, nothing could be more
erroneous.
NJ. Barilla was sent here by the anti
Hutin element in the Panama directory.
He has reported the true situation. and a
majority of the stockholders are now I'M
derstood to favor making a definite propo-
sition to the United States to sell out the
company's entire property on the 18TH
mus. NJ. Barilla's reports have been SO
much at variance with those of NJ. Hutin
that there Is said to be a strong probable
ity of the latter being deposed from the
presidency of the company.
NJ. Barilla has given Admiral Walker
and other members of the Isthmian Ca
nal Commission to understand that NJ
Hutin, in refusing to name to the COM
mission any price at which the United
states could secure the Panama property,
does not represent the views of :be COM
pany. NJ Barilla has indicated that the
company is not only willing to sell its
property. but realizes that the only way
in which it can ever hope to recover its
Investments is TO come to some under

THE FRANKFORT ARSENAL CASE
DrigGs-Seabury Company's Defence
for Sailing Guns TO CoIombin.

The Driggs-Seabury Gun and Ammuni-
| ton Company has filed a statement with
| Secretary Root regarding the charges
made against il by the American ord
nance Company. 1t was alleged that the
/ briggs Seabury Company had used the
| United State arsenal at frankfort for
the manufa cture of guns and ammunition
for the Colombian Government. The Of
hciais of the company state that they did
nothing wrong in selling guns manufac-
tured for the United States Government
! to Colombia, as Admiral ONail, Chief of
the Bureau Of Ordnance Of the Navy De-
partment, permitted them to do so.
The statement now in the hands Of Sec
retaTy Root alleges that guns delivered
to the Colombian Government were of the
senli-automatic type and were manufac-
tured for the Navy Department, and in
no way interfered with the six-pounder
guns TO be manufactured for the army
On this point the statement says:
The guns sold by MS to the Colombian
Government were not manufactured I'M
der the army contract, but were des-
tined for the navy, being of the semi
automatic type. The sale was made with
the assent of Admiral O'NeiI. We had
locked up in material about SAC, 900, and
were paying Sc, 900 per week for labor. be
sides an additional outlay for other ex-
penses''
When seen in reference to the matter
yesterday morning. Admiral O'Nen posi-
lively denied any connection with the mat
ter and stated that he had never given the
briggs Seabury Company permission to
sell guns TO the Colombian or any other
Government.
Il don't see how these people got this
statement into their letter" said he. 1T
is untrue and absolutely wrong Why. /
couldn't give them permission to sell
guns If l wanted to. and / am sure 1
have never attempted such a thing
THE only connection ] have ever had
with the Driggs-Seabury Company was
when they used a gun for practice pur-
poses and damaged it. They asked per-
mission to replace the gun with u new
one, and Of course / assented.
The guns sold to the Colombian Gov
eminent were not made for the Navy De-
partment, is stated but were made
under the army contract and ] therefore
have no knowledge of them. The very
fact that they were army G-pounders
ought to show that they did not come
under the jurisdiction of this bureau 1
am ignorant of ever having given these
people permission to sell anything"

THE SUSA EXPLORATIONS.
France Publishes the Memoirs of NJ.
jacques de Morgan.

PARIS, March 30-The French Govern
ment has published the first volume of
the Memoirs of Jacques de Morgan. -
which deals with his explorations for the
site of the city Of Susa.
NJ. de Morgan ran a series of tunnels
into mound at various levels and found
traces Of five distinct settlements. One
OF these he found to be the site of the
Greco-Parthia city. which existed be-
tween GEO and POO 3. c. Beneath this he
found the Persian city of the Achaemen-
ian kings, which existed between 800 and
800 Is. c., and beneath this the older city.
which had been almost wholly destroyed
in $40 b. c.
lie proved that the city. although
wrecked had not been totally destroyed
by the Assyrian. Asurbanipal (Asugbani-
Pal-Sdrdanapalus) In the debris he found
a cylinder Of Nebuchadnezzar, the Great,
showing that the city had been occupied
during the Jewish captivity. Possibly
Daniel visited it. for tradition says that
he was buried there.
The Memoirs go on to say that the
discovery of brick records and charters
OF the Kassite rulers shows that this city
probably dated from the year 100 &. c., or
about the time when the Kasste rulers

Inscriptions of much older dates were
found in one chamber. the most import
ant of which was a fine stele of Naram-
sin, son of Sargon. who reigned in 1880
r. c., proving incontestably the hlstori-
cal character Of the ancient rulers. The
King is represented as wearing a horned
helmet, carrying a bow and spear, and
wearing a long beard. His countenance
was of the Semitic type. He has n foot
on a dead foe, while another is falling
wounded, while trying TO draw an arrow
from mis- breast. The work is most spirit
ed
Further down NJ. de Morgan found
traces Of a wooden city which had been
destroyed by fire. This contained stone
maces, flint sickle, and handmade pot
terry. There was no metal of any kind
ami no inscriptions
Still lower, thirty feet above the virgin
soil, there was found an older settlement
rude flint instruments and
pottery. The date OF the two primitive
settlements NJ. de Morgan is unable to
determine.

Diet and Occupation.

DR.. Wylie. of the Agricultural DEPART
ment, has advocated the theory that a
mans food affects his character and
qualifications to a very considerable de-
gree. and that, at some time in the fu-
ture, men may be fed with the distinct
purpose of making them inventors. Or
artists, or laborers, Just as today Ger
tain foods are prescribed for race
horses, fancy breeds Of chickens. and
other special sorts Of animals.
This idea is not exactly new. II has
often been said that a man becomes
what he eats" and the theory Of ro-
nance writers has always been that
persons who are ethereal, delicate, and
idealistic live On fruits and stlmulants
while the gross feeder is a man of low
desires and no thoughts. The fact that
in real life one often finds a delicate
young girl eating enough to support
three men, while the robust man break
fasts modestly on oatmeal chop, and
an egg. fails to upset the literary tradi-
ton.
1t may be. however, that by proper
diet any kind Of a man may be devel-
oped to order This is the most original
scheme since Tammas Haggart con-
ceiyed the idea Of gathering all poets
into home where they should be kept
on allowance and made to work for
their board and clothes, and not al
lowed 10 go wandering about to tav-
ems and other places where they ought
not 10 be. The question is whether it
could be carried out. and II it could,
what would be the effect on the com
munity.
In the first place, somebody would
have TO decide how many Of each kind
OF man would be needed, and who
should be put In each class. In rude
kind ot way, this has already been
done. The aristocrat of other days con-
sidered himself insulted if he had 10
partalle Of peasant fare" and the
peasant sometimes liked his own black
bread and cabbage soup better than the
dainties of the rich. The idea seemed
TO be that each, to be himself, should
eat the kind of food best suited to him
But how, in any artificial way. could Il
be decided who should be fed on the
kind OF food for poets. and who should
be made into stevedores and BARRIERS?

FRACTIONAL Relations with Venezuela


Our Minister 70 Venezuela has been
ordered home, and it is said that the
Venezuelan Minister at Washington viii
shortly return to his own country. Dip
tomato relations may not be formally
severed but the arrogant little South
American State which dares to assert
itself against alleged aggressions by a
rich American trust must be made 10
feel the weight of imperial displeasure.
The departure Of our Mr.. Loomis from
Caracas viii not produce any heavy
shower Of tears in that capital, where,
we are sorry to hear. he is regarded as
a representative Of the Asphalt Trust
interest rather than Of the United States
Government. The untutored inhabi-
taHts Of Venezuela have not yet alb
sorbed the new American gospel which
teaches that the trusts and the Wash
ington Administration are interchange
able terms; but they will find it out
before we are done with them.
There is ground for the fear that this
country is not adding to its dignity or
prestige in the minds of thinking
people, here and abroad, in the trucu-
lent attitude il has assumed toward
weak State, rendered weaker at present
by domestic instruction. On the face
Of the facts as they have been presented
in the American press. it would be diff
cult to find the smallest excuse for our
interference in Venezuela in behalf of
the Asphalt Trust and against smaller
American rival concern. The claims
advanced by the former do not impress
one greatly as being founded upon law
or justice. 1t is evident that they
seemed all-sufficient to the Administra-
ton to warrant it in threatening Ven
ezuela with invasion and war, if they

1t is our privilege TO congratulate Mr.
Mckinley upon the salutary effect that
| the splendid deed of Brigadier General
| Funston apparently has exerted upon
the Tagal insurgents. According to re-
| ports from General Macarthur. the re-
manning rebel chiefs are coming in and
| surrendering, and the natives generally
/ seem to feel the hopelessness Of longer
| combating a foe capable of such
achievements. It is the good fortune
| of the gallant Kansan soldier that to
him has fallen the opportunity ana the
credit and honor of giving the coup de
! grace TO the Instruction by the capture
| OF its treacherous instigator and prin-
cipal leader.
| We hope that the President viii not
make the mistake of placing any reli-
ance upon the promises Of Aguinaldo,
whose perfidy in the past is sufficiently
notorious. 1t is well enough to use him
| temporarily as a means Of forcing his
| followers to submission. but. personally.
he is an unsafe character TO be at large.
and it would be wisdom to ship him off
as soon as convenient to tire Island Of
TutuIla, where he would be definitely
powerless TO create more mischief. OF
course such a proceeding would fiji the
air with agonized howls and lmpreea-
tions from the Boston Filipinos: but
the country is so used to that sort Of
thing that Mr.. Mckinley need not mind
What viii much more seriously test his
powers of resistance Is the reported pur-
pose of General Funston's enemies if
possible to secure Aguinaldo's release.
in order to minimize his victors service.
and so reduce his chances Of reward.
II we may depend upon the official
news from Manila the hour is al hand
when it will be safe to accord civil gov
crnment to the Philippines. That be-
ing the case. the American people would
greatly like TO know what kind Of ciyil
government Mr.. Mckinley proposes to
give them. It would be useless at this
time To talk of the Constitution in the
connection. That instrument is entirely
ignored by the Administration i'm its
treatment of the new territories. and SO
viii be unless or until the Supreme
Court of the United States shall de-
clare that American sovereignty, q crea-
ture of the Constitution. cannot exist
where it's creator is not recognized as
the basic and supreme law.
Probably the President Is waiting for
the Supreme Court TO speak. before de-
Gliding upon his further course. No
doubt this Is wise, because it would be
hardly worth while to build up a system
of pro-consular government, supported
largely by an unconstitutional tax upon
domestic trade with other portions Of
the United States. until 1t shall become
clear that our tribunal Of last resort
either declares against the Constitution
or evades the main question involved

Aside from that consideration, the

More Chri.tinn sciencc.

| \ believer in Christian Science writes
to The Times to enter a gentle protest
| against the error Of taking n small and
erratic publication known as The
Christian" recently referred to in these
| columns, as representative journal of
Christian Science. He says:
This paper and this editor are in no way con-
nccted with the stately movements Of Christian
Science or its theological doctrines"
This may be. but how is one to know?
Personally, we do not think that Mrs
Eddy and her followers are so closely
connected with the stately movements
of divine law as they claim TO be, either
But the editor Of this little paper has
just as good a right to claim that he
is doing greater things than Christ did
as Mrs. Eddy has to assert that her
mind is strong enough to heal broken
bones by absent treatment. Moreover.
how is the accredited representative of
Christian Science in journalism 10 be
discovered? There is one called the
Washington News Letter" and pub
lished in this city, which is consid-
erably more pretentious than THE
Christian" and may be connected with
the stately movements of Christian
Science. At any rate, it claims to be
tire organ of considerable body of
believers. The editor and publisher of
it is the president of a thing called the
International Metaphysical University.
and in the current number Of the paper
there is reprinted an address Of his, re-
Gently delivered in this city. Here is
one paragraph:

that there was but one life, and that he had all
strength because he lived in thai life, and it
was not long before the bird turned over and

The question which will arise in the
mind of the ordinary person is how the
bird sat down. being constructed "a

| tuticns have been officially recognized
| to between General Bates and our sub
ject prince, the Sultan of Jolo. How is
| Mr.. Mckinley to steer between the
Scylla of Oriental faith and practice
and the Charybdis of American public?
This is a peculiarly pertinent question
at a time when a widespread agita-
ton for a constitutional amendment
making polygamy a crime everywhere
under the flag is beginning to SHOW it
self. As for slavery, that matter Will
settle itself. Should the Supreme Court
sustain the Constitution, slavery vii!
have to cease at once in the Sulu group
and wherever else it may happen to ex-
list in the United States-using the term
in the sense of Chief Justice Marshalrs
famous decision. In that event it would
not be difficult to dispose of the prob
lem by calling the system something
else; and the President, who has a pro-
dUctive vocabulary and remarkable in
ventive ability in the line of senten-
tious aphorism. might easily supply
new designation. Benevolent guar
dianship'' suggests itself as a tender
phrase. But if, on the other hand, the
court should leave the hands of the Ex-
ecutive free to deal with colonial af-
fairs independently of the Constitution,
there is nothing TO prevent the institu-
ton of slavery from furnishing in the
Philippines just as il does today, and
we have no doubt that. should the
trust get hold of the sugar and to-
bacco lands of the islands, they would
favor an extension of the system. since
slave labor may be more reliable and
useful under Asiatic conditions than
free labor.
