his lists of individual holdings and
their capacity. He maintained that in
filing their claims with the Commits

tanned by the petitioners might be over
stated, their statements as to the
amount OF land they held and their
acreage IN cane were likely to be true,
because they were susceptible of proof
Mr.. PalmeS admitted that a great
many of the estates he had named were
held by Cubans and Spaniards who had
been naturalized in the United States.
Mr.. Plat held that Americans in
business in Cuba had just as much
claim on the United States as Cuban

how the lands necessary for the Mica
ragua canal were to be obtained. wher
they were owned by private individuals
Was the Government of the United
States, he asked, to be subjected tc
such claims?
In other words, have Americans gone
down there and fixed up things, so that
we will have to pay millions and mil
lions of dollars for the right of way
THE treaty with Nicaragua" Mr..
Harris replied, provides for con-
domination of the lands when private
rights are involved"
Mr. Culberson Dem, Texas asked
Mr.. Harris how much would such right
of way cost.
Mr.. Harris said he could not give that
information. He did not know that any
estimate had been made, or that there
was any data on the subject
Mr.. Tillman declared that his object
was TO get the most practical route,
the cheapest route. and one having the
least jobbery in it.
Mr. Harris remarked that it was i'm
DDSSiBlt 10 prevent anu lOlttlOSt ali
possibilities against such things.
Fear of Spectators.
Mr.. Tillman again expressed his ap-
prehension that spectators had OBJ
tanned, or would obtain. title to the
lands. that would be required If the
Nicaragua route were decided upon,
and said that those claims would ma
terialize and spring in the pathway of
the canal with hands stretched out
toward the Treasury, and the demand
TO stand and deliver"
Mr.. Harris assured him that every
agreement had been made. and every as
surance given that there would be no
difficulty in that direction.
Mr.. Harris, having demonstrated to
his own satisfaction the relative advan-
tages of the Nicaraguan and the disad-
vantages of the Panama route in point
of distances from ports of the United
States, proceeded to argue at great
length and with copious extracts from
engineering testimony TO show the i'm
mense difficulties presented by the
dam and cuts necessary on the Panama
route. illustrating his argument by the
aid of one of the profiles on the wall
panel nearest to his desk.
Impugns No Ones Motives.
Nobody, he went on. had a right TO
impugn any ones motives in supporting
one route or the other No one sec
tion Of the country was to be benefited
at the expense of any other section. He
had been in hopes that the new treaty |
with Great Britain would have allowed |
the vessels in the American coastwise !
trade TO pass through the canal with |

lie wanted the canal TO be as free to |
tic cOastwise trade as the mouth of |
the Mississippi, or the harbor of New |

hope that the matter would not be reIe-

Would Cut Off Its Head.

Mr.. Cannon tRep., ND opposed the

Mr.. Shafroth also oppressed it. for the rea-
son that it proposed 10 divide response

real purpose Of the bill was not to trans

the Agricultural Department, but to es-
tablish game preserves. The White
Biver reserve, in his own district. he
said. which contained over 1000. 900
acres. had been selected as the location
of one of these preserves.
The value of every ranch abutting on
that reservation would be reduced 10 per
cent by making game preserve of it.
Every man, woman. and child would be
up and in arms when the Government
began to drive out the horse. the COW.
and the sheep. and to herd up wild ami
mails that sportsmen might be enabled
to go out there to hunt and revel in the
mountains.
Calls 1t a Fraud.
1t was fraud, Mr.. Bell asserted. upon
every settler who had located around one
of these reservations. to change it into
a game preserve. Forest reservations
had been a curse to the settlers. Mr.. Bell
went on; they had been promised that
no improvements would be made-that
it was desired only to conserve the snow
for the protection and benefit of the low
lands.
The bill was drawn by men 2,000 miles
away from the location Of the PEE.

Nebraska's Position f. Unique with
Best Individual Record of Any
Important Team. but No
Place In ChampIonship.

Yale is foot bail champion Of the east.
There is no doubt Of that. But how to place
the other aggregations is a more dif1cult
question. Now. the FIRST thing to decide is
whether Princeton or Harvard is the bet
ter. There is considerable difference 70 the
mutual scores and looking only at the, fig
ures, Princeton was harder for Yale than
Harvard was. The Tigers stopped the Yale
attack inside their own fve-yard line, a
thing which the Crimson could not do; but
On the other hand, the Harvard offense en-
aansered the Yale goal much more than did
Princeton's and at a time later in the sea-
son, when the Yale team played a hercer
game. The Tiger defense was much steadier,
however. in its stand against a superior
eleven. But these comparisons, lead no
where, and no one can say which is the bet
ter team. as the two do not play together.
Then there is West Point. The soldiers
made tie score with the blue. a thing
which no other team has been able TO do
this season. Perhaps Il will be easier TO
place the army cadets after their game
with the navy. '-
