FItzsimmons whips Gardner

Fitzsimmons out-boxed and o~ut-gep-
eraled George Gardner for twenty full
rounds at San Francisco. Fitzsimmons
was as awkward and as cunning as Of
yore, and apparently realizing that he
must foster his strength. there was not
a moment when he was not c%arefulness
persQniied. While the old man could
avoid punishment from Gardner, he
could not knock his opponent out, al
though he landed a number of vicious
blows. Gardner landed on Fitzsim-
mons once in a while, but Fitzsimmons
was always going away from him, and
the blows were harmless. Several
times Ftzsimmons apparently had
Gardner almost out, but he was either
too tired or lacked his old strength
and could not land a knockout punch.
FtzsimmOns was skilful In blocking
and lodging Gardner's blows and in
the clinches and breakaways was care.

Extra Session Of Congress Will Continus

Until the senate either passes the
Cuban bill or rejects that measure no
proposition to adjourn the extra ses-
sion OF the fifty-eighth congress will
be entertained by the house of repre-
sentatives. This Is the declared posi-
ton OF the leaders of that body. As
this fact has become understood by the
leaders OF the senate, there is likely
to be no effort made by that body
to bring the extra session to an end
until it lapses into the regular ses-
sion December Z.
In making their stand against ad-
journment OF the extra session until
the Cuban legislation is disposed Of.
house leaders declare that they are
simply emphasizing the purpose for
which the session was called.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1908

The university faculty has
made arrangements to give ex-
aminations in English to all
students before gra du a t i n g
them. The action taken is
worthy of commentator, for
the G arele sn S which is
shown in the use of ordinary
English even by college grad
ates-is suggestive, if not co.,
elusive evidence of downright

railroad policy of the entire

it they heaved sigh, and said
that something is wrong, and
that something must be done
to remedy this evil. This is
doubtless what the majority Of
the citizens of the U nj e d

they going to do about it?

The people of Fergus Falls
are just beginning to realize
the meaning of railroad dis
elimination in freight rates.
They are shut off from the lig-
mite coal fields III North Dako-
ia on account of the rates and
tire forced to buy their coal
from Duluth or Minneapolis.
The rate on a through haul
from Duluth to Fergus Falls is
81 90 per ton and from Fergus
to Wahpeton is $2.1O, while
coming the other way the rate
from Wahpeton to Fergus Falls
on Ignite from Bismark is STOP
The railroad people offered the
advice to the Fergus Falls
merchants that they could bet
ter afford to get coal from Du-
lutf or Minneapolis and that
the Bismark dealers could sell
their coal closer.to bone. This
shows discrimination by
the railroad against the Bis
mark dealers in favor of the
Duluth and Minneapolis deal
ers, Had the Business Mems
association been little fore
sighted they would have had Il
delegation present at the hear
ing by the State Railway Com
mission of the complaint by

ways on this point. They
might have adjusted heir
freight rates before they run
up against it, as in this case.

THE SHIP CANALS.

The National department. oI
Commerse and Labor has is
sued through its bureau OF sta
tistics a statement of the great
canals of the world, which at
this time, when the isthmus
canal is so much discussed,
will be found of general inter
est.
The ship canals of the world
are only nine in number, and
in order of Importance the SUI
ez canal stands first, though
the number of ships passing
through it is less than those
which pass through the canals
connecting our American chain
of great lakes. In it's length,
which is ninety miles, the Suez
exceeds all other ship canals.
Its original depth OF twenty
five feet was in 1895 enlarged
to thirty-one feet. Its surface
width is 42O feet. It's cost has
mounted up to little over
$1OO,OO0,OOO. 1t i s wit h o ut
locks, and for it's whole dist
ance on a level with the sea.
The average time of passing
through it is eighteen hours.
The tolls are little over So a
ton, American measurement,
The canal connecting the bay
of Cronstadt with St. Peters
burg is described as work OF
great strategic and commercial
Importance. The canal itself
is only six miles long, but the
channel with which it connects
is ten miles long, and the two
extend from Cronstadt to ST.
Petersburg. This canal h
cost $1O,OO0,0OO,
Corinth canal, which con-
meets the CULTS of Corinth and
Aegina, greatly shortens the
distance between several of the
Meuito-ra~can and A dria t G
ports. 1t is without locks, and
was finished in 1898, having
been nine years in building.
The Manchester ship canal
which connects Manchester
with the Mersey river at Liver
pool and the Atlantic ocean,
was opened for traffic in 1891.
1t is thirty-fve and a half miles
long. and has four sets of locks.
1t takes from five to eight hours
to navigate it. Its total cost
has been $75,0OO,0OO.
Two ship canals connect the
North Sea with the Baltic.
The largest, the Kaiser Will
helm, is used mostly ter naval
and military purposes. 1t was
begun in 1887 and complete |
in 1899. It's length is sixty-one
miles, and it's terminus Kiel
harbor. It lead m o Y
through shallow lakes and riv-
er bottoms, and cost $4,000, 900.
The number of vessels passing
through it in 1900 was II ,971.
The Welland, St. Mary's Falls
and Canadian are the names of
three ship canals connecting
the head of Lakes Superior and
Ontario with the ST. Lawrence
river. Ghe w ell land canal
dates from 1888, the st. Mary's
Falls at Sault Ste. Marie was
opene in 1875, the Canadian
at ST. Mary's river in 1896.
These canals are much used for
the transportation of iron ore,
coal and grain. The Sault Ste.
Marie canals, connecting Lakes
Superior and Huron, were be-
gun by Michigan in 1853 and
finished by the United States
government in 1892. The num-
Der of vessels that passed
through these canals in 1902

pANAMA,s DISTINCTIVE RIGHTS.

has set itself up as republic
on it's own account. Nor did
Panama ever agree, except un-
der military compuls o n, to
abandon the independent SOW
ereignty it formerly maintained
along with the state OF Antlo-
quia. Panama was a republic
between 1855 and 1861. In the
latter year it entered the Omit
ed States of Grenada" reserv-
ing the right of secession for
reasons satisfactory to itself.
The name of the confederation
was changed to Colombia in 49,
IS, and in 1885,, Panama was
forced, by military pressure, to
submit to the oligarchy at Bo-
gotta. So Panama was former
ly republic for six years, and
for twenty-four years was a
state, with unconstitutional right
to establish an independent
government at it's pleasure.
During the subsequent eigh-
teen years it has been virtually
district under military re-
preston, and watching for an
opportunity to regain it's form
er independence. Situated in
the path of the worlds COM
merce, it has been systematical-
ly oppressed by the Bogota
government, and also held as a
bonanza to be handled OBJ
structively unless enormous
sums were paid for the priv
ledge of building an isthmian
canal, on which Colombia pro-
posed to retain certain rights
that con1d be used to extract
unlimited blackmail.
\ AS a former republic, Pana-
ma has waited for it's chance,
and is now again a republi c.
With Colombia it has had bad
little in common for fifty years.
AS matter of course, it has
been anxious for an isthmian
canal. But no step could it
take in that direction, nor could
it hope, as part of Colombia to
be anything more than Cuba
was to Spain, Itch prize for
others, not for itself. Colon
bia has been a land of, innum-
cradle revolutions. Even Boil
var called it's freak constitu-
tons "treatises." It has tried
something of every conceivable
sort of government. By turns
it has been centralized and de-
centralized, confederated and
loosely strung together, under
succession of juntas, military
dictators, civil dictators, theo-
cratic dictators and armed an
archists. In one period of
three years 1000 leading citi-
zens were shot to death in the
public squares. The twelve
years war at a later time vio-
lently swept off large part of
the population. Only II per
cent of the inhabitants of Co
