TO BUILD THE CANAL.
Representative Mann's Bill Comforting
Authority on the President.

Representative Mann said today in dis
cussing his bill abolishing the isthm1an ca
nal commission: "The present act providing
for the construction of the waterway con-
fers authority on the President to con-
struct the canal through the isthmian ca
nal commission. This authority, by the
terms of the present act, expires with this
Congress. My bill extends the power of
the President for two years or until the
end of the Fifty-ninth Congress. 1t leaves
it optional with the President whether he
shall dispense with the isthmian canal COM
mission in whole or in part or whether he
shall construct the canal through other
agencies to be appointed by him. But one
of the main features of the bill is that it
provides for annual reports showing just
how much money has been expended in
construction work in an annual period and
estimated for future work. 1t makes the
President absolutely responsible, and this
is held to constitute the greatest protection
to him. The bill also provides that no ex-
penditure shall be made after 1906 except
from specific appropriations for the pur-
pose. We do not favor the lump sum plan
that was provided for in the existing meas
ure and my bill will change it to the meth
cd which 1 believe is desired by majority
of the members of the House"
The bill geographically defines the limits
of the present canal strip which is official
~ ueSlSIdteu the cdIlsil ZDHe diiU makes
the official title of the waterway "the Pan
anna canal instead of the isthmian canal.
Under the terms of the bill the President
Is vested with absolute authority to con-
struct the canal and to appoint all subor-
dnates. He has the power to retain all of
the present canal commission to reduce or
increase the membership and the compen-
sation, or to abolish the commission Alto
gether by not exercising his power Of APP
pointment should the bill go into effect
The only restriction plaeeds upon the Presi-
dent is that the details Of construction shall
be under one of the government depart-
ments, and that complete annual reports
must be submitted showing in detail the
expenditures for each year and containing
estimates for the work of the ensuing an
nual period.
The bill is bound to attract the attention
of the public In view of the present dis
cussion as to the best manner of construct
ing the canal, and as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
retaining the present membership of the
canal commission. and there are many MEM
bers of the House who are dissatisfied with
the present state of affairs and who will
work hard to make the bill law.

advantage of divine origin, voluntarily re-
linquished the despotic power which had
been exercised without question by twenty
five centuries of his ancestors.
Michael Romanoff founded the present
dynasty In Russia no earlier than 1913, and
the present system of government dates
back only to 1922; whereas the Emperor of
Japan holds his throne "by virtue of a
lmeal succession, unbroken for ages eter-
nal The source of his authority can be
traced back to the gods. No other family
ever reigned SO long; no autocrat ever had a
better title; and by the unanimous consent
Of his subjects he was acknowledged to be
the source of all good, the foundation of all
power, the owner Of every acre of the en-
pire. His authority was absolute; the lives
of his subjects were his to command at his
pleasure, his judgments were infa1lible, and
his edicts were the mandates of the gods
until February II, 1889, when he voluntart-
ly lifted Japan out of the mist of oriental
despotisin and admitted his subjects to a
large share In the administration of public
affairs.
An Example for the Gear.
The Russian emperor might study this
historical incident with profit If he is really
sincere In his desire to improve the condi-
lions of his subjects, as appears to be the
case. He will find no similar event in all
history. Never before has an absolute mon
arch voluntarily yielded despotic power.
There was revolution. no compulsion, no
blessings of constitutional liberty, for which
millions in other parts of the world have
fought and died. and for which the Russians
are now clamorous, was conferred upon
Japan from a sublime sense of justice, as q
recognition of the rights of man, and the
spirit of progress. In the presence of the
imperial family, the peers, mobiles and high
functionaries Of the empire, the chosen rep
resentatives Of the people composing the
first parliament, and the members of the
diplomatic corps, the emperor stepped from
his throne and handed the minister presi-
dent of state roll of parchment inscribed
with the constitution of the empire of
Japan. This document recognizes the sane
tity of the imperial title, and his majesty
remains, as before, the source of all power
and law. but his responsibilities in the ex-
ercise of these functions are now shared by
parliament, and only in the presence of
great emergency, to protect the public safe
ty and to preserve the empire can he sus-
pend the acts of parliament. Even then
his act must be approved by that body, i'm
medately after it next assemblies On the
other hand the laws of parliament are sub
ject to the approval of the emperor. Thus
honors and responsibilities are even, and
one is a check on the other.

Transfer of c. and o. Canal to Wabash

The transfer of the interest of the state of
Maryland in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
to the Wabash interests, represented by F.
s. Landstreet. was completed at Annapolis,
Nd yesterday, the members of the board
Of public works acting for the state.
There was a slight hitch in regard to the
purchase price, but this was smoothed over
by the prompt action of Mr.. Landstreet.
The purchase price, s155.000, was to be paid
in state bonds, and these to the amount
named were offered. The governor suggest
ed that inasmuch as these bonds were quot
ed at 9S1a, the state would not really be get
ting the full amount. There was some dis
cussfon as to the obligation taken by the
successful bidder, but Mr.. Landstreet, in
order to have no question whatever, offer
ed his check for $2,325 the amount OF the
difference. This was accepted and the
transfer made.

rounds down somewhat after the line OF
the skirt. High pulled sleeves which
spread in a frill to the elbow are also OF
point dAlencon. The girdle Is OF silver
tissue, and around the low neck Is folded
ivory tinted chiffon, without which erect
no evening bodice is now considered quite
complete and smart.
This is a modification of the old-fash-
Toned tucker the bit of fine linen or lace
which finished the neck of decollete bod
ices long ago. They are much narrower
now, but are frequently made exactly
like the original ones, which were run
with string, sd that they could pc
drawn up about the throat. For mouse
wear this idea obtains, but in evening
dresses the tucker assumes smaller pro-
portions and becomes mere folds or sort
material 1t is possible now to purchase
fuckers of exquisite hand work all ready
to be inserted in bodices, and one can
get them even in pale colors, SO that a
variety may be given to a gown, or fresh
folds set in to replace those that have
become slightly soiled or crushed
Some of the prettiest tea gowns of the
season owe a great part of their beauty
to their low, round necks, above which
dainty fuckers peep deliclously rms al,
lows the neck to be slightly exposed and
a narrow ribbon run through the chiffon
may be gathered up to make the neck
even higher. This lingerie idea is one
that always appeals to the Ialr sex, anu
with the tucker have come the long, thin
underseeves of mouSseline or chiffon
tucked and trimmed with lace by hand.
To return to the beauties of mellow
lace, there is no handsomer combination
to be found than that of rich old point
d'Alencon or applique yelling, either a
gold silver tissue or one combining
both metallic shades with a rich trim
ming of bands of sable The CLEAN OF
the tissue and the deep rich tones of the
brown fur are worthy the name of SYM

A gown on this order was worn not
long ago at smart wedding by woman
who has passed the years of young
matron, and yet she was the most stun
ningly QUILTED person present. 1t was

ADVISING FOREIGNERS

w HERE TO LOCATE
PLAN OF COMMISSIONERS GEN.
ERAL SARGENT.
Bill Drafted for Congressional Action
How the japanese Emperor Gave Up
His Power-Exterminatin Moths.
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

Written for The Evening Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.
Commissioner General Sargent of the
bureau Of immigration is not letting the
grass grow under his feet in his efforts
to secure distribution of, the foreigners
who are coming into this country so
rapidly. He is at work with characters
tic energy to locate them where they are
needed, so as to keep them out of the
great cities as much as possible. He is in
consultation with the immigration bu-
reaus of the western and southern states,
and, as has already been published, has
been in conference with the representa-
tives of the southern railroads to secure
their cooperation and advice. There is
no authority, under existing laws for
anybody to give stranger arriving at
Ellis Island either information or advice;
no land agents or railway representatives
are allowed on Ellis Island, and if one of
the employees there We're asked for in
formation by an immigrant he could not
give assistance without violating the
regulations. All of the trunk lines of
railways, several large land companies,
contractors and other large employers of
labor have agents to catch the incoming
army of friendless aliens, but they are
not allowed to do anything until their
victims reach the New York side of the
river.
Thirty-five years ago Edward Young,
then chief of the bureau of statistics of
the Treasury Department, issued a man
ual of information for the use of newly
arrived foreigners, who were then just
beginning to come in large numbers. 1t
contained a description of each of the
states and territories, their climate re-
sources. industries commercial advan-
tages, the prices of land the cost of liv-
Ing, wages paid and other matters of in
terest to settlers. 1t also advised them
how to obtain government land and
where the best soil could be found for
various agricultural purposes. A large
edition of this handbook was printed in
the English language only, and it was of
value no doubt to the English, Irish and
Scotch arrivals, but as few of the immi-
grants from other countries could read
English 1t did not prove to be generally
useful

with silver, which grew even softer
against the background of ivory lace
over golden tissue. The hat which ac-
companied this costume, for it was an
afternoon wedding, was of brown tulle
trimmed. with sable, while thick brown
ostrich plumes were put on to droop at
one side and fall against the hair
A long white cloth coat with a broad
sable stole and one of the new reticule
muffs completed this effective costume
and made the wearer observed almost to
the exclusion of the bride herself, who
looked bit commonplace in comparison.

Q mellower tinge to the rare and beauti-

yellowish tint and the way in which the

COMPENSATION OFFERED BECK.
England Will Pay Him $25, 900 for
Wrongful Imprisonment.

A cabIegram from LONDON says: The gov
eminent has offered Adolf Beck $4,000 In
compensation for wrongful Imprisonment.
Beck, who is a Swede and was living in
England as a mining engineer and mineral
agent, was arrested in 1896 on the charge
of obtaining money and jewelry from
women under false pretenses. A London
letter in The Star several months ago told
the story of Becks wrongful imprison-
ment.
A special committee of inquiry came to
the conclusion that Beck had been the
victim of a miscarriage of justice, and that
the blame rested with the Judge, Sir For
rest Fulton, who excluded from Beek's trial
in 1886 all evidence favorable to the ac-
cused, and who refused to state a case for
the consideration of a higher court.

If a woman is tall enough to stand a
three-tier effect in dress, then she may
count herself most fortunate, for of all
the lace robes which are made ready to
be draped over a silk or tissue slip none
is handsomer than the one with three
deep founces covering the entire skirt.
The triple break is striking for this very
reason, and the number of flounces gives
chance for a greater display of lace than
a robe of one piece.
Point dAlencon lace was used for the
gown shown today, and each one of the
three fiounces of the skirt bears that in
describably mellow tint belonging to gen.
uine old ivory. The pattern is made to
stand out boldly against background of
