WILL RANK DEWEY IF BOTH GO
ABROAD FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BrSE1

Washington, Jan. 26.-It has been virtually
decided TO place Admiral Dewey at the head of
the Special Commission Of three members that
will be sent TO Europe to arouse a more active
interest in the ST. Louis Worlds Fair than Is
now being manifested by many of the Old World
nations Who the other two members Will be
is not known though IL is not unlikely that 10
General Miles will be rendered a position the
commission. In that event of course, the Ad-
miral of the Navy would not be the chairman
of the commission he is ranked in the mill
tary service by the lieutenant general Of the
army. and the established rule Of seniority
would work in this IN all other cases where
officers of the army and navy are brought to-
gether in the performance of public semi
public duties
The commission was asked for by President
David r. Francis and Director Adolphus Busch
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, when
they were in Washington last week. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay. it is understood
readily adopted the suggestion of the exposition
officials. and intimated that Mr.. Francis should
head the commission. To this Mr.. Francis OBJ
jeCted on the ground that his presence was con-
( stanty needed in st. Louis, where he could d.
rect the active work of preparation for the big
fair, and he urged President Roosevelt to give
the commission such personnel as would read
lily appeal to the courts of Europe that Will be
visited
1t appears that several European governments.
notably Austria and Russia, have practically
declined to participate in the exposition, giving
[ as the excuse for so doing that they will not
have time to prepare suitable exhibits if the
fair is opened on schedule time. May. 1903. IN
less there is a full representation of the Euro
pean nations there will be another strong rea-
son for postponing the opening of the exposition
for Il year. which is being strongly urged by a
large element of the directory. Mr.. Busch, who
is chairman of the fairs foreign committee, in
sisted when here that pOstpOnement for year
has already been shown to be advisable, II not
absolutely necessary.

send to Europe will accomplish everything need

Berlin, Jan. 26.-To-day passed without any

who arrived here yesterday evening TO represent
King Edward at the celebration Of the ami

Monday. German crowds have a too deeply
abiding respect for royal personages and are too
thoroughly policed ever to jeer them, but in
a city where the lifting Of ones hat is as uni
versal as ordinary civility 1t was singular TO
see the passing crowds with never a hat raised
and to hear no murmurs Of applause.

Wales was his departure amid thunderous
cheers, from the shores Of Newfoundland while

sCHURMAN EXPLAINS HIS UTTERANCE.
STATEMENT REGARDING HIS RECENT BOs
TON SPEECH.

Ithaca. n. Y. Jan. 26.-President Schurman to-
day made a statement explanatory of his recent
Boston speech, in which he advocated the
eventual independence of the people OF the
Philippines. TIE substance of his late speech
was that if the Christians OF LuzOn and Nisaya
wanted independence and showed themselves
capable of assuming It this country would
eventually give 1t to them
President Schurnan said to-day that he be-
lieved the policy he advocated would more than
anything else promote the welfare Of the Fill
pinos. President Roosevelt, he said. had de-
clared in his message to Congress that America
was TO do for the FilIpinos far more than any
other nation had ever done for a tropical people
and that this country was to fit them for self
government after the fashion OF really free
races. He said he stood with President Roose-
Welt in his policy and against the policy
advocated by General Wheaton. which would
mean colonial servtude like that Of Java and
India: and that il just proper for one
to advocate policy of eventual independence
at the present time It would be 10 urge the
adoption of General Wheaton's plan, since the
American people have not yet passed upon the
question of a final Philippine policy.

PANAMA ROUTE SAVES TIME.
one-Third as Long to Pass Through
1t as Through the Nicaragua,
Says This Authority

The time required for passing
through a transisthmian canal is an
important feature of the problem: it
is affected by the length, by the num-
Der OF locks, by the number of curves
and by the sharpness of the curvature.
for, in general, it is not feasible to run
a ship on a curve in narrow channel
with the same speed as on a straight
course, unless, indeed, the curvature
IS very slight.
The speed is also affected by the
depth of water under the keel of the
ship. 1t is well known that the same
power applied to ship in deep wa
ter of unlimited width will produce
much higher rate of movement than
the same power applied to the same
ship in restricted waterway. espe-
cially when the draught of the ship is
but little less than the depth of the wa
ter.
These considerations all have their
bearings upon the dimensions of a shin
canal, and they have probably never
before received such careful consider
alton in connection with the design
20 oo W CHC
canal commission. The effect of the
depth and width of the canal on the
time of passage by either route was
determined with as great a degree of
accuracy as the data at the command
of engineers at the present time will
permit. Equally careful considera-
ton was given to the effect of curya-
ture and to the time of PASSING
through the locks on each line. the
latter including the delay of slowing
on approaching the lock and of in
creasing the speed after passing it, the
time of opening and closing the gates
and the time of emptying or filing the
locks.
The computations based upon ALI
these elements of the question indi-
cate that what may be called an aver
age ship will require 33 hours for pass
ing through the Nicaragua canal and
12 hours for the Panama canal. TT ;s
thus seen, says writer in Scribner's.
that the time of passage through the
Panama canal will not much exceed
one-third of the time required by the
Nicaragua route.
