CANDIDACY
 OF ROBSON Bankhead is Not Much Worried. SPECULATION IS RIFE The Captain Still Declines to Discuss His Plans. His Friends Assert, However, That
 He Will Enter Politics and At tempt to Break Into Con- gress from Alabama.

washington, Feb. 7.-(Special. .)-Repre- sentative Bankhead is not worried at the persistent efforts of Captain R. P. Hob- son to be retired from the navy, in order that he may make race, 1t IS saio' against the Alabama war horse for Con- gress. Since the hero of Santiago has applied for legislative aid in securing retirement, the rumors of his political ambitions have been revived here and speculation is rife.
 Captain Hobson is in Washington, but as on all former occasions. he remains dumb when asked if he will run for Congress. His friends assert, however that he will surely announce as can atdate against Colonel Bankhead if he can obtain the desired retirement from the navy.
 Colonel Bankhead has heard these asser- tions, but he smiles serenely at the out look and ventures the observation thai he doesn't care if the hero jumps into the lists against him as he is not afraid of the result.
 Other members of the Alabsma delega- ton declare that Hobson should try foi a seat in Congress in some other district than Colonel Bankhead's if he really wants to get there No man in the South has a stronger place in esteem and confidence of his constituents than Colo. nel Bankhead, they say. It is altogether likely that bill to authorize the retire. ment of Captain Hobson will appear ir the House at an early date.

WARNING BY PRITCHARD
Says He Will Oppose the
 Private Pension Bill.
Senator Turner of Washington De- livers a Speech on the Philip pines-Patterson of Colorado
 Explains.

Washington, Feb. 7.-In the Senate to- day Mir. Turner Cwash.) delivered a care. fully prepared speech on the general Phil ippine question. The pension appropria- tion bill was passed.
 The Senate disagreed to the amend ments of the House on the urgency def- ciency bill. and agreed to the conference asked and appointed Senators Hale, Al. lison and Teller as conferees on the part of the Senate.
 At the conclusion of routine business, MT. Patterson (Colo.) made a personal explanation of what he had said concern ing Governor Taft's attitude toward the treason and sedition laws enacted by the Philippine Commission.
 MT. Patterson diselaimed any intention or desire to misrepresent Governor Taft.
 Mir. Gallinger CN. H.), chairman of the Pensions Committee, called up the pen sion appropriation bill and offered an amendment which was adopted, prohibit- ing the collection of any fee for aiding in securing the passage by Congress of any special pension bill. He said that the number of special pension bills introduced in Congress at this session probably was larger than ever before, nearly 5000 hav- ing been introduced in the House alone.
 MT. Pritchard (N. @ offered an amend ment providing that a man who had served in the Confederate army, but sub- sequentiy had served In the Union army should have a questionable status. point of order against the amendment by Mfr Gallinger was sustained.
 Mir Plitchard. evincing evidence of his disappointment at the loss of his amend ment, gave notice that he would see that not many bills will go through hereafter until something Is done in the direction of granting the relief desired. The pension appropriation bill then was passed. sss ss sss f. ' v MY '-'- MT. Lodge then called up the Philippine revenue bill Mir. Turner criticized the bill. saying that it prcceeded on tho the- ory that we have international and cons stitutional dominion and sovereignty over the Philippines but. arguing the case from that standpoint. he said it was in conflict with the clause of the constitu- ton, which required uniformity in the paving of taxes, duties and imports.
 He then referred to the spirit of the colonies 137 years ago, which ultimately brought independence to them. If Ftii- pino resistance to Cir Constitutional and iawIess action,'' kc said, shall have awakened the conscience of the Ameri- can nation to the base betrayal of lib- erty involved in this whole Philippine adventure 1t will have been a happy and fortunate incident for us and worth all the blood and treasure 1t has cost us, be- cause" he continued, 'it will prevent us from ever again. in all our history, en- tering upon any such similar advent ure."
 The following bills were passed: Alp. propriating $2OO,OOO for the enlargement of the public building at Nashville. Tenn. to fix the fees of United States Marshal in the Indian Territory.
 The S nate then went into executive session and soon afterward adjourned un- til Monday.

SCHwAB AT MONTE CARLO.
The Steel Trusts President Not a
 Reckless Gambler.

New Orleans, Feb. "A special to The Times Democrat from New York says:
 Sylvester Fulda, a weil-known croupier at Monte Carlo; arrived in this city to- day. Speaking of Charles M. Schwab's 8 pIunging at Monte Carlo, MT. Fulda said:
 q had already given up my position as a croupier when MT. SchWab arrived at the Casino this last time, and cam not say from personal knowledge whether he made big deals at the tables or not. On the occasion of a previous visit by MT. Schwab to the Casino, however. l happened to be the croupier at the table at which he sat, and I never saw him play recklessly.
 There were men and women at the same table who probably combined did not represent half of MT. Schwabs pri- yate wealth, yet most of them were play ing for sums that knew well, from pre- yious knowledge, they did not have the means to recoup the bank if they lost.
 MT Schwab's play was far from reck- less in comparison. He is well known at Monte Carlo, and when he sits at one of the gaming tables a large crowd im- mediately surrounds him, not because of his supposed high playing, but simply because his coolness and wonderful luck at the tables are known to every fre- ouenter of the Casino. He rarely loses. In fact I don't remember of him ever leaving the Casino poorer man than when he went in"
 .Croupier Fulda smiled at the mention of Lord Rosslyn's attempt to break the bank
 That" said he, "has never yet been done. At each table there is q limit of loss, and when the limit is reached the croupier. as quietly as possible. announces that there will be no more play on that table that day. If Lord Rosslyn could even net modest 100000 francs by his system the management of the Casino would gladly pay the price of the adver- tisement. The bank has never come any where near being broken, and nothing can prove this better than the fact that the little principality has lived for more than a quarter of a century on the profits os inc gaming tables"

CANAL ROUTES ARE COMP AIRED Admiral Walker Before
 Committee. ENGINEERING FEATURES
Admits That Panama Course Will Require Experiments
Nicaragua Waterway Can Be Com pleted in Eight Years-Tsn Re-
 quired in Which to Finish Other.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Admiral John C.. Walker, Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, testified before the Senate Committed. on Interoceanic Canals today. He went over much of the ground cov- CT ed by the reports of that commits sicn, and, in reply 70 numerous questions, explained the reasons for the recent recommendation for the acc eptance of the offer of the Panama Canal Company.
 Admiral Walker spoke at length upon tho engineering features of the two ca rals. Senator Harris questioned him es- pecially with reference to the difficulty O. excavating for the Boi1io dam, not forgetting the fact that it would be nec- essary to sink the proposed piers to a greater depth than had ever been done for sucl. d purpose. The foundation or the pier will be 125 feet below sea level, and the witness said there were diner ences of opinion as to the atmospheric pressure and the possibility of seepage at this depth fin that climate. He said that with reference to seepage, the engineers of the commission had not agreed.
 Admiral Walker also was questioned concerning the possibility of utilizing the Chagres River as a part of the ca- nal He admitted that it is torrenuai stream, but expressed the opinion that II could be safely confined
 With reference to that estimate, that ten years would be necessary to build the Panama Canal, while eight years would suffice for the construction of the canal by che Nicaragua route, he said that the difference against the Panama route was due largely to the extent of the great Cuiebra cut, and the Behto dam. He thought that in ordinary weather steam vessels would be able to make their way through the Panama Canal without being lowed, but thai fowage might be necessary when the winds are-iilEh. He expressed the opissier that Brito hsrbor at the Pacific end oi the Nicaragua route would possess an advantage over the Panama route in that vessels would immediately avail them selves in the former of the trade winds. while in Panama bay they would not se- cure this advantage until lowed out to sea. However, he thought that good har- bors could be cheaply secured by the western terminals of both routes.
