OR A SPECIAL MESSAGE

\ PRESIDENT Roosevelt nad conferences To-
day with several senator's among them
| Kittredge and Aidrich. Th. South Da-
| kota Senator spent good while talking
with the President on the canal situation
and the fight that is being made in the
Senate on the management OF the big ditch.
| Senator Kittredge has made himself one OF
| the best posted men in the United States
| on interoceanic canals. He has purposely
spent time along the canal route and else
where and has read the opinions OF men OF
| prominence of all Sides as to what IL
best to do. There are many suggestions
| that he would become chairman OF the
Senate committee on interoceanac canals.
but this position went to Senator Willard
OF Nebraska. who. by the rules of the Sen
ate, was entitled to 1t. As there Is much
doubt whether Senator. Willard Will be re-
turned to the Senate ito succeed himself
from Nebraska, and as Senator Pialt OF

the committee, is Expected to retire In
few years. the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee Is almost sure to go to Senator Kilt
f fs IN ne1 Win be one Of the
bodies of the Senate, handling the progress
of work on the canal appropriations, etc.,
and overseeing the management to large
extent.
