Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1902-06-27

On Thursday, by vote Of ~ to "a,
the senate decided in favor of the
Panama-Colon route for ihe isthmian
canal. The test vote came on a mo-
tion to substitute the Spooner bill
for the Hepburn Nicaragnan bill
passed by the house. An amend
ment offered by Senator Fairbanks
was adopted, by virtue of which the
government will, upon the settlement
of the route question by. the presi-
dent, issue per cent interest bearing
gold bonds to the amount of $3.50, :
600, 900 TO defray the expense Of the
undertaking. Under the provisions
of the Spooner amendment, the pres
ident is authorized to purchase the
entire plant, rights, ETC., Of the Pam
anna canal company for $40, 200, OO1,
progiding he can secure thereto a
satisfactory title and provided he
can procure from the Columbia gov
erument the perpetual right to strip
of land six miles wide in the proper
location, etc, In the event that he
cannot secure satisfactorily title or
proper concessions from the Colom-
bian government, he isto secure such
concessions form the Nicanguan and
Rican governments and commence
operations on that route. AS, in any
event, a treaty must be negotiated,
with the government through whose
territory the canal is to pass and
must be ratified by the senate, no
active operations will be begun be-
fore the senate has again convened.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1902-06-27

The adoption Of the Spooner sub
stitute did not meet with the opprov-
al of the house, as evidenced by the
fact that on Friday that body voted
TO disagree to the action Of the senate
and appointed conferences on the
bill. There is a general belief, how
ever, that owing 10 the lateness of
the date and to the impossibliity Of
securing any reversal Of the senate's
action'at this session, the house will
eventually concur.

MANY NAVAL OFFICERS
MAY ESCAPE SEA DUTY
Those on Shore Duty Plead
for Retention.
Represent to Secretary Moody That
Their Work Cannot Be Done
by Civilians.

Secretary Moody may not succeed in
getting 20 per cent of the naval officers
now on shore duty to go to sea, for the
reason that many Of the officers are
making it clear that they cannot well
be spared.
A large number of answers have been
received by Secretary Moody to his cir
cular letter of inquiry as to whether
naval officers on shore duty here and at
various navy yards and naval stations
cannot be spared TO go to sea and
whether civilians could not be profltably
substituted for them.
Practically all the replies state that
the work is necessary and should be
done by naval officers and that It would
cost the Government a great deal more
to have TIE expert work which many
Of them are doing done by civilians of
equal technical skill.
The main point made, however. is
that the navy should be represented in
work of this sort by commissioned off,
Gers who can take the responsibility for
the Government. This is especially true
OF the work in navy yards and at the
yards Of shipbuilders and the manu-
facturers Of steel for the purposes Of

JUSTICE HAGNER TO SERVE.
Entets Upon His Term of Vacation
Service Today.

Justice Hagner will begin his term OF
vacation service in the Supreme
Court Of the District today. Since the
beginning of the summer holidays on
July Chief Justice Bingham has been
at the City Hall daily. attending to the
business in all branches of the court.
1t was expected at the time the sum-
mer schedule for the services of the
justices was made out that each would
be compelled to serve only ffteel days
1t was then believed that the Presi-
dent would, before the adjournment Of
the court. name some one to fill the
vacancy on the District bench caused by
the death OF the late Justice Bradley
In the event that the appointment was
rot made, however, it was agreed by
the Eve justices that each would serve
four days extra, and thus fiji UP the
additional time.
During the past two weeks. despite
the very warm weather. and II being the
holiday season. the chief justice was
kept exceedingly busy. and IT is believed
that Justice Hagner will also be kept
steadily occupied during his term of va
cation service.

ban Reciprocity Bill Providing More
Than 20 Per Cent Reduction.

Secretary Shaw never allows himself
friends just what Secretary Moody said
week ago Saturday. that he has no
doubt whatever that President Roose-
velt will be nominated in 1904
Secretary Shaw expects TO see the
Iowa Republican State convention.
which meets the end of this month, rec
ommend the nomination of President
Roosevelt as his own successor, without
a dissenting voice. He believes that
similar action will be taken by other
Republican State conventions. and that
the national convention will have moth
ing to do but record the decision al
ready reached by the Republican party,
adopt platform acceptable to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and select a candidate
for the Vice Presidency.
Country With Roosevelt.
The country is with Roosevelt. he
thinks, especially on the Cuban reci-
procIty question. and he believes that at
the next session Congress will do what
the President recommends on this point
with substantial unanimity. It may then
be possible to pass a reciprocity bill
providing higher percentage of re-
ductton than the 20 per cent author
lied by the bill which failed at the last
session. or It may be done by means of
treaty which the President will have
ready when the Senate meets.
Long before Secretary Shaw had an,
thought Of being in President Roose-
velt's Cabinet, and just after President
McKinley's death. Secretary Shaw said
TO his friends that Roosevelt should De.
and he believed he would be, nominated
and elected President of the Uniteo
States after serving out the term to
which President Mckinley was elected.
Must Be Next President.
He said TO Secretary Wilson, also an
Iowa man:
Theodore Roosevelt must be the
next Presiden: OF the United States.
after he serves out the term to which
President Mckinley was elected. His
Administration must be made a success
and at the end OF it he must be given
a unanimous Endorsement by the Repub-
lican party. All of US, and especially
you who sit at the council board with
him. must do the utmost possible to
bring all this about"

Description of Apparatus.

Mr. Wainwright accompanied his re-
port with a description of the appara-
tus employed in the determination OF
longitude by wireless telegraphy. He
said;
THE longitude at place A being
known. n chrOnometer fitted with de-
vice for opening an electric circuit on
its frame once every second. is con
nected by means Of pony relay to an
ordinary Marconi sending apparatus at
the place b. where it is required to de-
termine the longitude.
This pony relay takes the place, in
the primary of the sending circuit. OF
the Morse key usually employed to send
messages. and controlled as above by
the chronometer. sends out an electrl-
cal impulse every second.
"A Marconi receiver is then connected
up at 4 with another chronometer and
a chronograph. The latter consists Of
a drum carrying a sheet of recorded
paper and rotated by clockwork at
uniform speed usually Of one revolu-
tion per minute, and a pen attached to
an electro magnet. both OF which are
given a slow longitudinal motion along
the axis of the revolving drum, so that
starting the clockwork causes the pen
