DIR. RADCLIFFE FAVORED.
His Friends Want Him Elected to Chair
at Princeton Seminary.

There is a general movement, it is I'M
derstood among Presbyterian ministers in
the eastern section of the country to Sc
cure the appointment of Rev. DR.. Wallace
Radcliffe, pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church.. this city, to the chair
of homiletics and pastoral theology in the
Princeton Theological Seminary, as sue
cessor to Rev DIR. William M. Paxton, who
died recently. DIR. Radcliffe is member
of the seminary's board of directors, which
has the power to elect a man to fill the
vacancy 1t is understood that many of the
members of the board are very earnest in
their desire to have the. local pastor chosen.
Rev. DR.. William l.. McEwan, pastor Of
the, Third Presbyterian Church of Pitts
burg is ar director of the seminary and
a close personal friend of President Patton
of the university. He is believed to be ia
vorable to the appointment of DR.. Radcliffe,
but has not yet expressed himself in the
matter. Another member of the board is
Rev. DR.. Maitland Alexander. pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Pitts
burg, who is also said to be DESTROYS of
having DR.. Radcliffe in the office.
DR.. Radcliffe was asked by a Star reporter
today about the rumor that he is to be APP
pointed to the chair In the Princeton Sem
mary, but he refused to make any state
ment. saying only that words from him
would be premature at this time. Whether
the appointment will be accepted by him
he would not say, but it is believed by
many of his friends that If rendered it
will be favorably considered.
The pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church of this city, was form
erly engaged in pastoral work in Pittsburg,
Pa, and for years was the friend of the
late Dr. Paxton, whose style of preaching
and thought he is said to have followed to
some extent. He has been Washington
pastor for about twelve years and has in
that time been very,successful in his work.
A professorship in a theological seminary
is looked upon in church circles much in
the same light as a seat on the supreme
bench is regarded by members of the bar.
and considerable interest in the filing of
the vacancy is therefore aroused. 1t is said
that no definite action will be taken by the
board of directors of Princeton Seminary
for some weeks, perhaps for two months

SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Views of Congressman Just Back From
the IsthmuS,

| Great interest is being manifested in Con-
gress over the Panama canal In view OF
| the suggestion that has been brought Tor
I ward prominently by members of the con-
gressional delegation just returned from
visit to the isthmus in favor OF a sea-levei
canal Several members Of the delegation,
prominent among whom is senator hlt-
tredge, are thoroughly convinced that the
proper thing to do is to make sea-leVel
canal rather than to build canal with
locks with the purpose of perhaps ulu-
mately making 1t sea-level.
When this subject was discussed IN Con
press a couple of years ago the prevail
ing sentiment favored a canal with locks
as a means of opening communication py
water between the two oceans one OF the
main arguments in favor or the fanaiha
route being that at some time in the fu-
tire it could be dug to the level OF the sea.
AS the question now comes up 1t has been
shown by Investigations tnat nave peen
made on the isthums that there VIII De
enormous expense connected with the
building of the great locks and in the con-
structiOn of the Bohio dam which is to con-
troll the waters of the Chagris river. Bor-
fngs at the site Of this dam have gone down
159 feet before material considered worthy
to form a foundation for the dam has been
encountered.
The height of the Chagres river since
these Investigations have been under way
over the bed of that stream and 1t Is not
known at what depth the foundation will
be reached there. Even with this result.
and should no greater depth than 159 feet
be required to get to a firm foundation the
building of the dam will constitute one of
the greatest engineering works ever exc
cuted. 1t will entail enormous expense.
Should a sea-level canal be determined
upon, it will involve a reconstruction of
many of the plans for the control of in
coming water along the route and in the
opinion of many engineers will not prove
to be any more insurmountable than the
project for canal with locks. 1t will cost
very much more on account of the vastly
increased amount of excavation necessary.
Senator Kittredge is determined that I'M
less it is shown on the testimony Of the
engineers that a sea-level canal cannot be
constructed that he will make fight in the
Senate in favor of such a sea-level canal
If the canal commission fails to adopt that
plan.
In the view of Senator Kittredge and
some others the canal commission has full
authority to determine upon the building
of a sea-level canal In case they do not
he will seek to have Congress instruct the
commission to proceed with the building of
a sea-level canal unless overwhelming en-
cheering testimony is presented unfavor-
able to such a project.

ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED.
Fight to Prevent the Recording of an
INCORPORATION.

The arguments of counsel were concluded
yesterday in the Court of Appeals in con-
nection with the appeal of J. C. Dancy, re-
corder of deeds for the District of Column
bia, from an order of the Supreme Court of
the District commanding him to receive
and record certificate of Incorporation of
the American Geological and Engineering
Company. w. c. Prentiss and others, last
April presented to the recorded a certificate,
together with the proper fee for recording
the same, but the recorder refused to re-
ceive 1t on the ground that the certificate
contemplated the carrying on: by the pro-
posed corporation of four or five different
classes OF business. Application was then
made by the incorporators to the Supreme
Court OF the District of Columbia for the
writ OF mandamus to compel the recorder
TO receive the certificate. An order was
signed, as asked.
On behalf of the recorder it was argued
In the Court of Appeals that the order of
the court below was erroneous and that un-

oH1oANs FAVOR HARDING.
Opponents to Herrick's denomination
Looking to Lieutenant Governor.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 7.-Among
republicans who are opposed to the renoml-
nation of Gov. Herrick for governor next
year. sentiment is crystallizing in favor of
Lieut. Gov. Harding as the candidate for
the nomination against him. They realize
that if any progress is to be made with the
opposition to the governor there muss be
an agreement soon upon candidate.
The Anti-Saloon League has NOT yet
stated whether Harding would be acccpta-
BILE to them or not. When asked about the
matter Mr.. Harding has repeatedly said
that he was not taking any part in the
conspiracy against Gov. Herrick.
Harding was much disappointed when,
by force of Senator Hanna, he was dis
placed by Herrick as the candidate for gov
ernor In the campaign, however he spoke
with Herrick and for him, and it was the
verdict of the republican rank and file that
heard them that the man who should have
been the head of the ticket was the tail

Wells Dry.

Reports from Plattsburg, N. Y, says that
the drough is becoming serious to farmers
and manufacturers in northern New York.
Pulp and paper manufacturers are obliged
to shut down every few days on account of
low wafer. A prominent pulp and paper
manufacturer of this city said today that
his advices indicate that the drouth prevails
from Maine to Wisconsin,, and in Canada,
and that there was grave danger of a pulp
and paper famine.
ers are being offered in churches for rain

Many wells are dry and farmers are
hauling water from the river and smaller
streams. The recent snow has done little
to relieve conditions.
