IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN DETAILS
Delay Is Due to Nicaragua and Costa RiCa
Failing to Agree.
FORMER WANTS DIVISION OF SIX TO ONE
President Roosevelt T. Anxious that
n Decision BE Reached In the
Matter at This Session
of Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The cabinet
held a short session today. during which
the relative propositions Of The Colombian
and Nicaraguan governments in connection
with the proposed canal were discussed.
The president is exceedingly anxious that,
whatever determination congress may come
TO as TO the relative merits OF the two
routes, in any event some decision may be
reached at this session.
comparison OF the outlines OF the
agreements or treaties made by the State
department with Colombia in relation TO
the Panama canal and with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica as to the Nicaragua canal shows
q general. resemblance in the scope Of the
arrangements. but important differences in
details
One point OF resemblance is the amount
of money to be paid down at once by the
United States government to the country
making the concessions. In each case this
is $1,000. 900. II the Panama route is
chosen Colombia gets all Of this money.
IL the choice fails on the Nicaragua route
Nicaragua will receive 5000, 900 and Costa
Rica 81 OOO, 900.
The delay that has occurred in consum-
mating the arranL Lements was owing to the
difficulty in reaching a basis Of agreement
between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and
this is generally ixed upon az about to
in favor of Nicaragua.
No Provision for Rent.
No provision is made In the Colombian
protocol for the payment OF any annual
rent-that matter will be left to future ad-
1ustment. though of course IL is expected
that some rent will be charged. The agree
ments as to the Nicaragua canal however,
specifically state the rent to be paid, which
Is $4,000 per annum, OF which Nicaragua
will get about $4,000 and Costa Rica 5000.
While this rent is merely nominal. It
serves a useful purpose in the estimate Of
the isthmian republics. namely. to continu-
ally assert the nominal sovereignty OF
Nicaragua and Costa Rica over the terri
tory through which the canal is cut
The original proposition was to pay a
lump sum representing the capitalization
of this rent for 100 years, but the republics
urefer to have the money paid in recogni-
tion of their sovereignty. and in considera-
tion Of the allowance OF their wish in this
matter they have gone to the length Of
making the lease 20 the United States per-
petual as against the 100-year renewal re-
lease OF the Colombian agreement Neither
OF the Observation-Disclosures or Costa
Rican-has yet received the full powers
from their governments necessary TO the
perfection Of the treaties.
The question OF the fiscal agency in the
Philippines was also discussed by the cab
inet. but no conclusion was reached and II
was stated that none can be until the at
torney general renders his opinion on the

force hundred times greater than at
the ordinary stations is generated
there. Before he left England Signor
Marconi arranged that the electrician
in charge of the station, which is To-
Gated at Poldhu, should begin sending
signals daily after certain date,
which Marconi was to cable to him
upon perfecting arrangements here.
Marconi arrived at ST. Johns in about
two weeks. He selected Signal Hill,
at the entrance to the harbor, as an
experimenting station. and moved his
equipment there. The next Monday
week he cabled to the Poldhu station
orders to begin sending signals at p.
m. daily and to continue them until 6
p. m., these hours being respectively
11.30 a. N. and go D. m., st. John S
time.
During these hours on the following
Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated a
kite, with the wire by means of which
signals are sent or received. He re-
manned at the recorder attached to the
receiving apparatus, and, to his pro-
found satisfaction, signals were re-
ceived by him at intervals. according
to the program arranged previously
with the operator at Poldhu. These
signals consisted of the repetition at
intervals cf the letter 'S,' which in
Marconi's code is made by three dots
or quick strokes. This signal was re-
peated so frequently and so perfectly
in accord with the detailed plan ar
fanged to provide safeguards against
the possibility of mistake that Signor
Marconi was satisfied that it was a
