LAID BEFORE CABINET.
Colombian Protest Recently Received
by the Senate.

Washington. Nov 1S-Practically
only one subject was considered al
the days session of the cabinet The
Panama situation was gone over in all
Its latest phases. Secretary Hay laid
before the president and cabinet the
protest against the action of the gov
ernment of the United States sent to
the senate by President Marroquin OF
the government of Colombia. The pro
test, which went into the hands Of Sen
ator Frye, as president pro tenn Of the
senate was turned over by him to the
secretary of state, as the senate can
not receive petitions or protests from
foreign government. BY Secretary
Hay the protest was laid before the
president and his cabinet. No deci-
sion has been reached whether the
document will be formally received or
not. That will lie finally with the
president himself. The nature and
the terms of the treaty to be made be
tween the United States and the re-
public Of Panama for the construction
OF the canakSHere discussed at length,
but no statement OF these terms will
be made public.

HILL ON ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Says Northwest Railroads Do Not Op
pose Big Waterway.


Washington, Nov 18-"The rail
roads of the Northwest are in favor OF
the isthmian canal" said James J
Hill president OF the Great Northern
railway. He was just on the point OF
leaving for New York after few
days visit TO the national capital.
when | say they are in favor of
the isthmian ditch am, perhaps, stat
ing it little strongly. mean that
they are not opposed to It, They do
not object to It. They are not afraid
of any competition which it will cause.
.'At this moment we are making a
rate of 40 cents hundred on steel
from Cleveland to China. That is SIS
a ton The canal will not cause a
lowering of that rate through competi-
tive methods.
The present rate through the Suez
canal is SO a ton. The rate through
the Panama canal is to be SO a ton.
To this must be added 81 SO ton for
transportation from Cleveland to the
seaboard
THE land tariff and the Panama
canal tariff will amount to $3.50 ton.
We are now sending steel at the rate
of rs ton.
The Atlantic and Pacific water rate
from the Atlantic seaboard must be
under $3.50 if it expects to compete
with us. We know that it cannot be
done at the rate.
1--WE are not opposed to the canal as
railroad men. AS fact, we look upon
it as something which will increase
the business with the Pacific ocean
and that the railroads will profit by

caucus adjourned to meet again on
call of Senator German, chairman.
Several senators, in leaving the eau
