Admiral Walker States His Reasons e

Admiral Walker States His Reasons Tor
Recommending Panama Route
Washington, Feb. S.--Admira Walker
concluded his testimony before the senate
committee on interoceanic canals today,
and Colonel Haupt, another member OF the
isthmian canal commission, is to be heard
monday.
The examination today was with refer
ence to the reasons why the canal com
mission changed its recommendations from
the Nicaragua to the Panama route. The
reasons given by the witness for this
change are that the Panama route is much
shorter and that it has fewer curves and
that those curves which do exist are not so
sharp as the curves in the Nicaragua route.
He also said he believed that. with proper
quarantine regulations, the health cond-
tons of the region along the Panama line
could be much improved. He did not con-
slider the present condition from health
point OF view as bad.
The questions bringing out these points
we're asked by Senator Hanna, who also
made inquiries concerning the water sup
/ ply for the Panama canal, and the diff
[ culties in the way OF constructing a dam
at Bahia. With reference to the dam Ad-
mIral Walker SAID ne had no doubt that
the engineering difficulties could be over
/ come, and he also expressed the opinion
1 that the water supply would be ample. He
stated in reply TO questions by other sen
ators that one Of the curves in the Panama
waterway would be quite sharp but he pas
/ Of the opinion that steam vessels would
be able TO round it. He also said that the
harbor at Panama could be maintained at a
| nominal cost.
Senator Morgan questioned the witness
at length with reference TO the commits.
sions Investigations Of the power Of the
new Panama canal company 70 transfer the
property and give clear title.
Admiral Walker said he had been salts
fed in general way that the new Panams
canal company would be capable Of pass
ing the property 10 the United States with
acceptable title, but that be was not law,
yer and he felt satisfied that in case tbs
recommendation OF the commission 10 ae
cept the Panama route should be favorabll
acted upon BY congress, the president wou!'
be assured by competent legal advice o
the genuineness Of the title before accept
ing the transfer.

New York, February "a Washington
special 10 the World says Rear ADMIRAL
Sampson rallied somewhat today from the
sinking spell which caused his family to
believe death was near. Immediate disco
luton is not expected by either his physi-
clans or his family. Because Of his weak
ened condition, however, death may soon
result
admiral Sampson is suffering from
aphasia, which has troubled him ever since
he was al the head Of the ordnance bu-
reau at the navy department several years
before the outbreak Of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war The disease has not yielded TO
treatment and has completely wrecked the
admiral's mental and physical health.
For the last twelve months Admiral
Sampson has been unable clearly to state
any proposition. although his distinct pro-
nunciation of the few words he was able
TO use indicated that his condition was the
result Of brain trouble and not mere me-
chanical difficulty in articulation.
Admiral Sampson declined 10 be treated
for aphasia when It first appeared.

Washington. February s.--Representa-
tives Slayden and Stephens today entered
their respective protests against certain
methods employed by republican members
in rushing legislation through the house.
Not long ago Thomas OF Iowa intro
duced an Indian depreciation claim bill pro-
vi~iug for the relief OF one individual a
constituent Of his. He succeeded in hsv-
ms his measure referred to the judiciary
committee instead Of the committee on
claims, to which it should properly have
gone, and by virtue Of bis position as a
member OF the judiciary committee had a
favorable report returned shortly afterward.
He attempted to call the bill up today, but
Representative Slaydeu protested, saying
that bill which he had introduced at the
last three congresses and which provided
for the relief OF all persons having In.
dian depreciation claims had not even been
reported from the committee on claims.

President Wouldn't Approve Finding
that Gave Himself BreVet Rank.
Washington, February 8.--The president
has approved, with one notable exception,
all the recommendations made by the army
brcvet board, Of which General Macarthur
was president, for the betsowal Of brevet
rank on all the officers Of the army who
rendered especial meritorious services dur
ing the war with Spain and in the subse-
quent campaigns in the Philippines and
China. The exception noted is the case Of
Theodore Roosevelt, who was awarded the
brevets Of colonel and brigader general for
distinguished services at San Juan and
Santiago. These breyets require the con-
firmation OF the senate.
II is expected the medals Of honor and
certificates Of merit recommended by the
board for individual gallantry, which also
have been approved by the president, viii
be announced at the war department next
week. These awards do not require the

BOOKKEEPING IN THE. SCHOOLS.
An Opportunity for the School Board
 to Do Some Real Good.

Nome, Jan. T., 1902. Editor NUG- GET: Dear Sir--lI is to be regretted shat the school board have not seen fit to continue the bookkeeping class re- gently organized at the new high school building. That this is one of the most practical of studies goes without say ing, and in view otthe fact that the re- cent organization of such q class met with the ready response that it. did it does seem that some provision should be made for that branch of learning. In most cities, where a night school is lart of the public school system. book keeping iS one of the principal subjects. On its introduction into the night school here it was found that the ap- plications for that study were far in excess ot the capabilities of the& one teacher in connection with her other duties. There are d great many here who are anxious to gain a practical knowledge of bookkeeping. and there is no question that sufficient number of pupils would be enrolled to wa-r- rant. the extra expenditure required for the few remaining months of win ter. Lett Us hope that the school board will give Us as good educational advan- tages 2s lies in their power.
