mission.
THE GROUND OF STRIFE
President Probably Will
Side With the Repre-
sentatives.

National politics gives ample proof Of
the adage that troubles never come
singly. With all the various collisions
which the House has had with the Sen
ate over legislation, and the more re-
cent clash between the Senate and Pres
ident over Santo Domingo. there is now
in hand still another bit of legislation
which will involve all three of these
powerful influences.
This is the Kittredge canal bill. which
has just been favorably reported by the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic Ca
nails It is based on the Mann bill, which
passed the House yesterday, but it diff
fers from it in one essential particu-
lar. and this is what promises to cause
all the trouble between the President.
the Senate. and the House.
Attitude of President.
When the construction of the Panama
Canal was put under the direct control
of the President. acting through a COM
mission. it was with the expectation
| that If the interests of the public were
not being properly guarded, or If scan
da1s threatened, the President would
take whatever steps were necessary TO
remedy the trouble
One Of the results Of Secretary Taft s
visit to Panama and his personal in
vestigation of conditions, was to cause
the President to indorSe q bill which
was introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Mann and passed by that body
yesterday. 1t provided among other
things, for the abolition of the present
Isthn1ian Canal Commission.
In the Senate powerful interests have
been at work to prevent the passage OF
any legislation that would disturb the
commission. Relatives and friends In
the Senate of members of the commits
sion have combined to serve notice that
no bill can pass that body which will
provide for either the abolition or the
reduction of the commission.
Senate Bill Reported.
Accordingly the bill reported yester-
day from the Senate Committee on In
teroceanic Canals, while following
closely the lines of the bill approved by
the President and passed by the House,
makes no attempt to disturb Rear Ad-
mfra1 Walker who is a brotller-in-law
of Senator Allison. or to disturb any OF
Walkers colleagues.
If the bill passes in this shape it will
result in a stern fight in conference, in
which whatever weight of influence the
President can exert upon legislation will
be in favor of the plan deemed essen
tial by Secretary Taft in order to in
sure the prosecution of the canal work
without the delays and scandals which
disgraced the French regime.

CONTRACT AWARDED
For the Construction of the c. e. Tayn
tor New Stone Shed.

The contract for the construction of
the new shed for the G. f. TayntOr
Granite Co, was let yesterday, l.. f.
Bradstreet of this city being the low
est and successful bidder Other bids
considered We're submitted by c. F..
Hoxie and Hanks & Wentworth of Au-
gusta.
The building will be 406 feet long by
60 feet wide. So feet from ground to
gable peak and 30-foot posts.
1t will be strongly built and will be
rooted with practical fire proof ma
terial. The contract calls for COM
pletion on or before the last day of
April, 1906.
Regarding the water supply and the
practical necessity of hydrant for
fire protection, it may be said that Mr..
Tayntor requests the city to consider
the matter at once. A clause in the
contract signed, Thursday, provides
that unless there are sufficient assur-
ances that a hydrant will be provided.
the contract will become null and void
after Is days. If there are assurances
that the city main will be extended the
work will proceed. The company is
willing to acceed to reasonable pro-
position. 1t is said that the extention
would aggregate COO feet of more. The
company promises to be large con-
sumner Of water. SO that the PROPOSE
ton assumes other practical phases
aside from those incidental to fire pro-
lection.
1t is hoped that the matter will be
amicably adjusted and that work on
the new plant will commence at once.

Mr.. Morse's mother. Mrs. Z. W. Ridley,
the newly married couple decided to
omit the wedding trip for which plans
