Senator Hanna's Technical Details.

Senator Hanna yesterday concluded his
elaborate argument against the selection of
the Nicaragua route for the isthmian canal
He has withheld his remarks for revision
and thus they have not yet appeared in
complete form In the official record. Per-
haps when they do appear they will not
contain at least one Of the statements ac-
credited to him by the newspaper reports.
That one was uttered yesterday, when Mr.
Hanna was again engaged in painting in
vivid colors the grave dangers from the
earth's violence to a canal on the Nicara-
guam route. If one Of the two volcanoes in
Lake Nicaragua, he said, should play the
same part that Mount Pelee has just played
enough lava and mud and rock would be
elected to fill the entire lake.
Mr. Hannas speech was couched through
out In technical, scientific vein. 1t dealt
in tonnage and ship lengths. sailing hours
coal consumption volcanoes, earthquakes
and other matters which call for an album
dance of exact knowledge. 1t is ordinarily
to be presumed that each part of such an
argument is as trustworthy as another, and
If one part is found to be eXaggeration
or unfounded, or wrong in detail, little faith
can be placed in any other part or in the
whole.
Mr.. Hanna has subjected himself to pre-
csely this criticism. Carried away, per-
haps, by his enthusiasm for the Panama
route, he proceeded in yesterdays INSTALL
ment to describe the terrors Of the Mica
raguan volcanoes. should they become
active. in the terms just stated. He forgot,
or did not know. that his figure Of COM
parison was absolutely unwarranted. He
either did not know or realize that while
the Island Of Martinique contains only
$50 square miles Lake Nicaragua contains
approximately 1900 square miles. Mar
Unique, indeed, could be set down inside
of Lake Nicaragua and remain compare
lively small island distant from shore.
The whole of the Island Of Martinique
has by no means been covered by lava and
mud and ashes from Pelee. Science has
not as yet estimated the area covered,
but it needs no formal assurance from
the investigators on the ground to war
rant the confident belief that not enough
volcanic matter has been elected from
Pelee to fill in one of the smaller bays of
Lake Nicaragua. There is no volcanic
eruption in history, not even that of Kra-
katoa. which would have suff1ced to fill
up Lake Nicaragua If multiplied a dozen
times.
The whole of Mr.. Hanna's argument
thus falls under suspicion of being mere
exaggeration, only slightly based upon
scientific and technical facts. Had he con-
fined himself to the known data of seismol-
ogy, geology and geography he would
not have seen Martinique as an island much
larger than Lake Nicaragua. overwhelmed
with lava and mud and ashes. He would
not. in his minds eye. have seen Omotepe
choking up Lake Nicaragua with an out
put Of something like 200 cubic miles Of
matter.

to prevent congressional action, while for
the sake of beclouding the issues before the
courts it asserts that the increasing tele-
phone use involves an increa sed proper
ton of expenses. If the figures were frank
~ stated in all probability 1t would be
found in fact that the measured service
has raised rather than lowered the rates.
even If the extra tolls are elimina ted. For
the man who pays s42 a year for seven hum
bred calls Is paying at a higher rate than
formerly. when he rented a phone for 800
and was subject to no limitation to It's use
He Is subjected, likewise, to the annoyance
of having three or four subscribers on the
same wire which lessons the degree of his
own phones usefulness. On the face of
the contract the company is reaping a
larger return, phone for phone. than 1t did
before 1t began its ostensible lessening of
the rates.
The telephone service should not be sold
on the measured basis. It should be I'M
limited. 1t can be sold for a much cheaper
figure than prevails here. That fact has
been demonstrated more than once in hard
statistics. obtained from the company's
own showing. 1t persuaded one court that
the rates fixed by Congress were unrea-
sonably low. That courts decision was
overruled by the court next above. The
court of last resort refused to express an
opinion upon the question of reasonableness
until some light should be thrown upon the
character Of the service to be given for
those rates. Congress Is persuaded that the
rates are excessive and has decreed that
fifty dollars year is proper maximum.
1t should take cognizance of the company's
own admission that rate reduction Is pos
sible and of the highest courts intimati
that the rates decreed In 1898 are not I'M
reasonably low If the service to be given
is not unreasonably excellent. The oppor-
tunity for effective reform was never better.
