thorizing the construction of such dredge
at cost limited to $175,O0O and providing

AS already announced in The Star repre-
sentatives of private dredging interests on
the Great Lakes have protested to the
PRESIDENT and the Secretary of War against
the prposed use of the government dredge
and have contended that there was no au-
thority of law for the expenditure of money
for building the dredge under allotments
made by the War Department from appro-
priations for the Improvement of various
harbors on Lake Michigan. The Attorney
General is asked to give legal construc-
ton of the river and harbor act relating to
the subject, especially with reference to
the authority of the Secretary of War in
making the allotments from the various ap-
preparations.

effective after six months. The articles af-
fected include confectionerieS. preserves In
sugar silk fabrics, alcohol, kerosene, sugar
mola sses, syrup. crepe-de-chine, satinS. man
ufactured tobacco, Chinese spirits, ordinary
sake and all alcoholic beverages containing
over 20 per cent of alcohol.

CONTROL OF CANAL STRIP
It is Believed That Senator Kittredge's
Bill Will Be Reported.

The Senate committee on interoceanic
canals met today and listened to Senator
Morgan. who explained the merits of his
bill providing for the government of the
canal zone. His bill would make a military
reservation of the canal strip
The Kittredge bill was before the COM
n1sttee also, and it is believed it will be re-
ported to the Senate with a few changes
The provision for the government of the
canal by two commissions, one of which
was to make the laws, will be eliminated,
and the control of the zone left to the exist
ing commission. 1t is believed that for the
present only one judge will be provided
for, but with a provision that others may
be named if found to be necessary.
The committee has agreed to insert in the
bill provision authorizing the President to
designate an officer of the army or navy or
any othe. officer, who shall have charge of
all sanitary matters, the official to be under
the canal commission

tine Station.

TOKYO. March 80, l p.m-The Russian
government through the French minister
here. has lodged a protest with the jap
anese government against the destruction
OF the quarantine station at San Shamtao
during the fourth Japanese attack on Port
Arthur.
The protest is based on article % of The
Hague international peace congress, copy
% which is submitted with it.
Responding to the protest, Baron Komura,
minister of foreign affairs, informed the
French minister that the Japanese gov
ernment had received report from Vice
Admiral Togo concerning the destruction Of
the quarantine station. but whether the
station has been destroyed or not, the
article of The Hague convention quoted
related only to land battles, the convention
having left the question of naval lombard
ments unsettled.
Japanese military and naval officers who
are familiar with San Shamtao declared

BUSINESS and Agriculture in South
Africa.
The consul gereral AT Cape Town In re-.
cent dispatch says thas business at the
Cape of Good Hope is in a very depressed
condition. The merchants, relying on the
prosperous condition during the war, bought
good In large quantities until the country
became much overstocked In certain COM
modities. The mines, which were expected
to draw in money. have been yielding
very limited output. A serious drought
prevailed over large portion of South
Africa, which decreased the agricultural
products. There are thousands of Ame,i-
cans In the country who are in unfortu-
nate circumstances.
The consul general incloses newspaper
clipping containing a statement by Lord
Milner that the depression In business is
increasing daily, and the revenue is falling
of and the people are out of work.
The consul general states that he makes
this report for the benefit of manufactur
ers and exporters who have business deal
ings with South Africa
