The Canal bill passed the Senate on
Thursday notwithstanding the news
paper prophecy that it would not be
taken up at this session, but the re-
commentator most desired by the
President that the Canal Commission
be abolished was stricken out. Secre-
tary Taft has been most outspoken in
declaring that the Commission has been
an obstruction rather than an aid in the
administration of canal affairs and the
House bill made provision for the abol
ishment Of the Commission, but the op.
position in the Senate led by Senator
Allison who is close friend Of Admi-
raj Walker the President Of the Com
mission, and Senator German, resulted
in the elimination of the provision
The bill as it passed the Senate states
that the President shall have authority
to appoint person or persons to gov
ern the canal zone and that the Pres
ident shall be given further authority
to direct such control but it is not like
ly that the House will accept this most
important amendment and the bill will
90 to conference. Among the reasons
that have made the President so eager
to have the Canal Commission abolished
was the lack of actual work done un-
der the commission.

Indications now are that a sea-level
canal will be dug. Engineers have been
watching with great interest the work
on the Simplon tunnel, the longest sub
terranean road in the world and it is
argued that experience in this great
excavation will greatly aid in tunn ell
ing the Culebra mountain and letting
the Chagres river out through the tun-
mel, thus eliminating the food prob
lem which has been the greatest, or in
fact the only obstacle IN the way Of a
sea level canal. The Simplon tunnel Is
twelve miles long, the Culebra tunnel
will need be only four miles long and
will probably not cost more than the
Bohio dam and locks would cost.
