OPPOSE HOAR,s CANAL BILL
Members of Isthminn Committee sub
mit Adverse Report on the
Measure.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Morgan
Of the committee on isthmisn canals to-
day submitted TO the senate the adverse
report OF that committee on Senator, Hoars
bill placing the selection Of a route Tor
an isthmian canal in the hands OF the
president. The committee opposes the bill
on the ground that It makes no provision
for further exploration OF routes and leaves
the president to make a selection on the
statement Of facts already ascertained. It
is contended that however safely the
country may rely on the wisdom and just
discretion OF the executive, the policy is
not wise nor safe as a rule OF govern
ment"
The report discusses at length the proto-
coils with Colombia aud Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, and 1t is stated. incidentally.
that Former Colombian Minister Silva was
II ited to appear before the committee, but
declined to do so. OF the agreements With
Costa Rica and Nicaragua Il Is said that
they are definite and complete as to the
character and scope OF the rights they
have agreed to concede to the United
States" and it is argued that II they are
ratified nothing will be left TO do but to
complete the details OF the arrangements
necessary to carry the agreement into
effect
Colombia, on the other hand, Is charged
with playing for delay and it is stated that
ito hold Colombia to her present offer it
is necessary under article XVII that rati-
ications shall be exchanged within eight
months from its date. and the practical
impossibility OF concluding all the neces-
sary arrangements provided for in her
proposition within eight months shows that
her most earnest purpose is to cause de-
lay"
1t is charged that Colombia does not by
her protocol propose to sell the Panama
canal and railroad property free of all ex-
listing claims. concessions and incum-
brances, but leaves US to work out a title
with the Panama company. 1t is then
charged that "the insincerity of the atti-
tude OF Colombia with reference to the
completion Of the Panama canal is shown,
almost without disguise, IN the character
Of the demands made by that government
as to the condition Of transfer OF the canal
and the stock in the Panama railroad to
the United States"

Settlement of Prolonged
HostIIities.

LONDON, May 27.-Prevalenee through.
out OF an optomistic feeling regarding the
peace negotiations Is hardly based on solid
facts. The protraction of the conference
at Nereningen is not necessarily a sign.
The delegates TO the conference although
they have abandoned their hope of secur-
Ing independence. still have many points
OF difference with the government, while
an obstinate minority still regard the re-
sumption of hostilites as the best outcome
OF the present situation and at any moment
these points OF differences may be ac-
centuated into a refusal to continue the
negotiations.
1t is most unlikely that those who are
in favor Of peace will throw up the spouKs
so long as decent minority is desirous Of
continuing the struggle and all these ele.
ments must be taken into account before
1t is possible TO give any sort OF predic.
tion as to the issue Of the present negotia-
tions.
Cabinet VIII Decide Details

cabinet council to be held today will decide
upon points OF detail, mostly Of q fnan-
cial nature, which have been raised by the
Beers In the peace negotiations. Great
Britain's decision in the matter will then

ence by the delegates at Pretoria, says the
paper, and, being the best obtainable terms,
they will almost certainly be accepted. The
results should be announced ofnciaIly either
Thursday OF Friday OF this week, probably
on Friday. the day upon which King Ed
wards birth is celebrated
Peace is quite certain, says the Daily
Mail, and the delegates at Pretoria are
only engaged in endeavoring TO gild the
pill for the Veriningen convention to swal-
low.
Conferees Arc Busy.
The Daily Mail says further; Our dis
patches from Pretoria assert that numerous
communications are passing between Lords
Kitchener and Miner in South Africa ana
London.
Lord Kitchener. although he is still full
OF energy, is much aged in appearance In
consequence OF the severe strain which he
has undergone. The concensus OF opinion
is that the recent negotiation have proved
Lord Kitchener to be a great dlplomatis:
as we'll as a great soldier.
1t is difficult TO apprecite the magni-
tude OF the difficulties Lord Kitchener has
had TO contend with. The Boer leaders
are deeply impressed with his personality,
and trust him implicitly.
II is understood that Lord Miner (the
British high commissioner in South Africa)
has gracefully admitted that the ultimate
credit for the accomplishment OF the great
task is due to Lord Kitchener.
