CONGRESS is ABOUT
TO TAKE over CANAL
Continued From First Page.

the way to further discussion of the
president IS policy, and while it is the
public interest that this policy should
be ventilated at every point at which
publicity is deemed desirable, the dis
agreements between the president and
the senate should not be permitted to
delay matters, nor is it now believed
that they will. 3, ... ..... ......
It is said today that the personal
equation may be eliminated from the
discussion when congress reconvenes
after holidays and that congress will
address itself to an amendment Of the
Spooner act under which canal work
has been conducted thus far. The
main objective will be section 3 of
that act, which gives the president
plenary power over canal matters. This
section may be repealed, restoring to
congress the responsibility for carry
ing on this great work. ..
In other words, the senate now re-
grets that in moment of haste it was
the chief instrument in giving to the
executive power vested in the leg.

ton, and of which power congress
thru all the history of the government
had been extremely jealous until the
worries Of providing for the prosecu
ton Of the Spanish war induced the
lawmakers to shift to the executive
1 department the responsibility of al
details after the money necessary haC
been voted.
/ It is said that President. Roosevelt
is not at all averse to congress amend
ing the Spooner act to the extent con
templated. Moreover, it is reported
that the president is anxious for con
gress to relieve him of the stupendou
: load shifted to his then willin

course, resents the character of crit
cisms like that quoted from the lip
: Of a republican senator few day
ago to the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt
would find he could not construct tn
Panama canal by hurting the ten con
mandments in sections at the publ

: In fact, it is considered as not alt

BY Publishers Press.
Cleveland, Dec. 2s.-Lack of knowl-
edge of the compass is said to have been
responsible for the wrecks on the upper
lakes last season. In the iron ore re-
gions Of Lake Superior there are places
where the compass defects one and a
half points and the sailor, not skillful
enough to make allowances for these
variations and correct his course &C
cordingly, not infrequently lands on the
rocks.
The Pittsburg Steamship company, an
adjunct of the steel trust, has issued an
order to its seventy lake captains re-
quiring them to attend a school of in;
struction in the use of the compass and
course corrector this winter. The schoo
will be conducted by Captain j: M
Fields, salt water shipmaster and al
expert in the use of the compass.

Civil War in Moscow.
In st. Petersburg.

In St. Petersburg the strike has not
proved as successful as the leaders had
hoped. Many of the factories We're
able to operate yesterday, because their
employees did not obey the strike or
der. The car service was not inter
fered with and even the gas and cleo
trio lighting plans were in operation.
The government has been able to pre-
vent the railway strike from becoming
complete as well. The trains which
have run, however, have all been oper-
ated under strong military guard, SO
that the keeping open of the lines has
been rather an empty victory for the
government If the workmen really
determine to make the movement eff
fective the roads will be tied up as
completely as they were in the October
strike.

MORE RAIN FALLING
There Nay be Big Raise in the River
Today.

Yesterday was cloudy again nearly
all day with a constant threat OF rain.
During the afternoon there were a
number of very light sprinkles and in
the evening there was a heavy precip-
itation for perhaps an hour. Between
10 and II o'clock there was another
hard shower, with indications that it
would rain internationally all night.
Superintendent McDermott of the
Arizona Water company said the river
had raised a little during the day and
last night there was flow of approx
mately $4,000 inches. He said that he
understood it was raining all the way
from Phoenix to the Arizona dam and
presumably further up the river, from
which he was led to believe there
might be a rise of considerable mag
nitude this morning.
Almost an inch of rain had fallen
since the rainy weather set in, previous
to last nights precipitation and the
indications now are that there may be
regular spell Of weather" before it
clears up again. If it We're not for
the history of past years one might
we'll be made to believe that this was
no longer a land designed for irrigation
but was region of natural rainfall.
