pose to base the committee on inter

tons were a wicked monopoly"
which already had cost the people of

The relations involve the control by
the Panama Canal company of the

agreement existing between certain
railroads of the United States and
the Pacific Mail Steamship company.

SCHLH TO APPEAL.
The Admiral Will Ask Presi-
dent Roosevelt For
Justice.
KNOX is TO CONSIDER IT.
1t is Believed the President Will APP
prove Whatever the Attorney-Gen-
eral May Decide-Resolutions Intro.
duced in the Maryland Legislature.

Washington, Jan. S.-President
Roosevelt has decided to entertain an
appeal by the admiral from the find
ings of the majority of the court OF
inquiry. This fact developed when
the counsel for the admiral made
formal public announcement that their
client would appeal to the comman-
der-in-chief for justice which he did
not believe he had obtained from the
court of inquiry because of the fail
ure of that body to go into certain
essential matters involved in the case.
President Roosevelt, it is asserted,
will turn the appeal over to Attorney
General Knox, who is known to be
friendly to the admiral, for deci-
sion, and it is believed the Presi-
dents verdict will be in accordance
with the opinion rendered by the chief
OF his legal department.
Mondays visit of the admiral to
the White House was a result of the
intimations from the President, and
the outcome of that visit was yes
terdaNs formal announcement that
the appeal would be made.
Admiral Schley left the White
House in a satisfied state of mind.
He had been given full opportuni-
ty to present the case from ais stand
point and to acquaint the President
with many details of which the latter
could not have any knowledge. His
new appeal will be different from that
submitted to the Navy department,
bringing out some new facts which
have an important bearing upon the
controversy.
Messrs. Rayner and Tague, counsel
for Rear Admiral Schley, came over
from Baltimore yesterday and were
closeted for several hours with their
nlianf
