Washington, March 17.-On only one
amendment to the canal treaty in the
senate yesterday did the democrats vote
solidly. That was on Senator Bacon's
amendment for the absolute control and
defense of the canal by the United

The republican senator's warmly de-
tended the treaty as 1t stands, contending
that it affords ample protection to Ameri-
can interests With canal built by the
United States and under the control Of
this country, they said, Colombia would
be compelled to defend it, but If that
country should find herself incapable of
performing this task, then under the
terms OF the treaty she would be COM
PEELED to call on the United States for
assistance. Moreover, in case OF emer-

defense of the canal without waiting for
a call from Colombia, and they dwelt ON
the wise scope of this provision, assert
ing that in it was found all the guaran-
tees Of American protection that could
reasonably be demanded. They asserted
that there could be no excuse for going
into the canal zone with American troops
except III case of emergency, and as that
opportunity Is provided they argued that
there was no call for modification of the
treaty, and especially in view of the fact
that any change in it would probably in

thorities.
An amendment suggested by Senator

SWAMP LAND DECISION
The States Field Notes Of Survey
Will Hereafter Be Accepted
as Evidence.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 46, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, March 17.-Secretary
Hitchcock has decided the question af-
fecting the Minnesota swamp lands which
has been pending since early in 1902. At
that time State Auditor Dunn through r.
Z. Byrnes Of Minneapolis, filed an appli-
cation for a change in the rule for the ad-
justment Of the swamp lands grant to
Minnesota to provide that the field notes
Of survey should be accepted as prima
facia evidence of the swampy character OF
lands claimed by the state instead of put
ting upon the state the burden Of proof.
AS it is decided the department is to
go back to the old practice and will ac-
cept the field notes in controversies and
contests and selections filed from now on
AS to the cases now pending in the de-
partment procedure must be in accord
ance with the rule prevailing at the time
they we're initiated. The best informa.
tion obtainable here is that not many
cases are pending which will be decided
under the old rule while State Auditor
Iverson will now be able to select the re-
nainder Of the swamp lands due the
state under the new rule without having
to submit proof of the swampy chara cte1
Of the land. +!
The state will save conSidera BILE money
by this last ruling of the department as
otherwise Auditor Iverson would have
had to put men in the field to examine the
swamp lands and there would also have
been large expense attached to gathering
testimony to support the states claim
Secretary Hitchcock has instructed
Land Commissioner Richards to proceed
with the adjustment Of the swamp grant
under the new rule. His predecessor Com.
missioner Hermann sent a corps Of specia
agents to Minnesota in 1901 to examine
and report on swamp lands due the state
with a view to final adjustment of the
grant and their reports are now pending
Some OF them were submitted to Auditor
Dunn last spring for his consideration
with the request that he, examine then
and file objections to such Of the classi-
f1cations as he might think proper. NJ
action has been taken pending decision
on the request for the amendment of the
rule. 1t Is expected that the swamp gran,
will be entirely adjusted during the com
ing summer.
