MONDAY EVENING, DEC. IS. 1906.

DURING the debate in the Senate
last week on the Panama canal bill,
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, predicted
that at the extravagant rate in which the
canal work had been begun the cost ofits
completion would exceed $500, 600, OOo.
He charged that the first three years
were equal il reckless extravaganza and
exorbitant salaries to the first three
wears of the De Lesseps project, and
every word he said was absolutely true.
This canal almost bankrupte France
and il bids fair 10 seriously disturb the
finances of the United States. In his
testimony before the Senate committee
LAST week Secretary Taft admitted that
although 1900 men were now en-
pl1yed by the canal, not shovel iuli OF
earth had been moved since last July.
The next day two employees Of the canal
who returned to New York said they
did not understand such statements a.
those made by Secretary TAFT for, they
said five thousand feet of earth had
been removed ever month since last
July, Setting Secretary TafPs testl-
mony aside, for argument sake, and CIV
ing full credence to the statements Of
the two returned employees, it il shown
that it takes at an average OF ., 4O0 men
a month to move 900 feel of earth, or
little upwards OF 80 tons day. As
millions upon millions of tons are to be
moved, it will be seen that at this rate
the canal could ut be built in hundreds
of years. No wonder the canal people
wanted an emergency appropriation OF
$40. 600, 600 to run them from the time
Congress met till it reassembled after
tie holidays.

The Naval Academy.

Representative Pearre, of Maryland,
introduced joint resolution in the House
Saturday asking for the appointment OF
select committee of FIVE to investigate
hazing and prize lighting at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, especially to as
certain whether the officials of the insti-
tuition are responsible for any laxity of
discipline calculated to encourage these
practices. The resolution also calls
upon the Secretary of the Navy to re-
port all the facts in his possession con-
corning the fight between Meriwether
and Branch, as well as those concerning
the recent hazng of Cadet Kimbrough.
Mr.. Pearre declares that brutality in
various forms as practiced at Annapolis
is winked at and connived at by academy
officials, anu that the failure to main
tain discipline lay more at the door of
the institution than upon the taidship-
men attending there.
