TYPE OF CANAL
STUDIED TODAY
Discussion of the Board Of Con
sulting Engineers on Sea
Levels VS.. Locks.

Washington, Sept. Eminent engi-
neers of America and Europe met today
on the call Of President Roosevelt, to in
vestigate and make recommendations as
to the type of canal for Panama.
By executive order board of consult
ING engineers was constituted last June
consisting of General George w. Davis,
Alfred Noble, William Barclay Parsons,
William H. Burr, General Henry T..
seph Ripley, Osham Randolph, all
American engineers; Henry Hunter,
nominated by the British government;
Herr Eugene Tincauzer, nominated by
the German government; M. Guerard,
nominated by the French government;
NJ Quellenec, consulting engineer, Suez
canal, and j. w. Welcker, nominated by
the government of the Netherlands. 1t
is this board which assembled today.
Shonts, who in a few words appropriate
to the occasion, expressed the belief
that good results would follow.
The board has had referred to it all
the data that has been collected by the
commission bearing on the subject of a
type Of canal. This data may be suf-
ficient for the board to determine
whether the canal should be constructed
with locks or should be sea-level canal
ded, then details as to the character
of locks will be taken under discussion
The recommendation of the consult.
! ing engineers will not be final, but will
| be made to the isthmian canal commits
| sion. The final conclusion as to the
| type Of canal will be settled by the
| president and congress.
The board may visit the isthmus if
necessary.
While the engineering work of the ca
nal will be under the immediate super
vision of Chief Stevens, he will be as
sisted by a committee on engineering
consisting Of Generals Hams and Ernst
Admiral Endicott and Major Harrod
who are also members of The commits
sion. Such problems Of technical char
acter as Chief Stevens desires to be
worked out, and on such subjects as hi
desires advice, will be submitted to this
committee. These problems will not be
numerous until after the type of cana
has been determined.
Pay Of the Advisory Board.
The president has signed an executive
order fixing tho compensation of thu
members of the advisory board Of engi
neers. The government will pay thei1
personal expenses. Each member Of tn,
board will receive $4,000 on the com
pletion of the report on the plans 70;

provinces, being appointed by the Laur-

provinces, being appointed by the Laur
Ter government, are, naturally, liberals.
It is assumed that in selecting their
first executive councils, they will call
upon liberals to serve. This will give
the two new provinces each liberal
premier; and when the first elections
are held it is assumed that the power Of
patronage the liberal party will thus
have in provincial affairs, aided by the
patronage it has in federal affairs, will
be sufficient to insure the new govern
ments being sustained at the polls, in
spite Of the popular feeling against the
separate school provisions Of the new
constitutions. .
Mr.. Haultain, therefore,, the man who
is really responsible for securing auton
omy for the territories, will be left out
in the cold so far as office is concerned
He will probably be elected for con-
stituency in one of the new assemblies;
but other men being in control Of the
executive power, he will not be able to
carry out his intention of taking the
school question into the courts until he
can succeed in turning the new govern
ment out Of power.
The new governments, being liberal,
are scarcely likely to foment trouble for
their party at Ottawa by raising this
| issue themselves. The fact that the
| new governments will probably be lib
erals, means, also, the probable intro
duction Of party politics into the new
assemblies. The noHpartizan system,
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-09-01

which Mr.. Haultain has so long main
tanned, will disappear with his disap-
pearance from power. Whether this
will be an advantage or a disad advantage
for the new provinces remains to be
seen. T.
What, also, will be the ultimate poll
bidding against each other for the large
foreign vote, is also an interesting mat
ter for speculation. One result seems
to be very probable, and that is that the
legislation of the Canadian west will
proceed on quite different lines from
that Of the Canadian east. -. TX

MCARREN SHOWS POWER
VIII of Contention Supreme-Bnt
He will Mould 1t.

Senator Patrick H. MeCarren showed his abso-
lutte control over the Democratic organization in
Kings County at a so-caled caucus Of the leaders
held in the Thomas Jefferson Building last
night. After he had allowed the leaders to pass
a resolution favoring ex-DIstrict Attorney James
w. Ridgway. his candidate for Borough Presi-
dent resolution giving the selection OF the county
ticket to McCarren was passed.
Michael +. Butler. who recently defeated Reg
lister Matthew z. Dooley. the Shevn leader of the
18th Assembly District, entered a strong protest
against the proposed denomination Of DooIey for
Register He finally said however he was wiIIine,
to abide by the judgment OF McCarren. Henry F
Cochrane. the McCarren leader of the 18th Assem-
bly, District, who won at the recent primaries nv a
small margin, said he not willing to withdra NJ
his opposition to the denomination of County Cark
Kaufman. who has been lighting with the old
Mclaughlin forces He declared that I{aufmann
had spent considerable money in an effort IN hsat
him in his district.
When Senator McCarren was asked at the con
clusion OF the conference, whom he would select
for the county Offices. ne replied. with feigned in
dignation, that he intended to leave that to the
convention.
1t is known that Charles F. Murphy is anxious
that he should renOminate Dooley and Kaufrnann
Tor the sake of piacating the Shelvin element and
1t is believed that MeCarren will Yield TO his
strong. II was suggested last night that perhaps
solution of the difficulty would be the nomination
OF OF Thomas r. Farrell, the Shevlln leader OF tho
LIN District for Register. This could be done
st H tpnt SO much opposition because Farrell won
e. the primaries. The nomination of Gottfried
W-eesternacher FOX Sheriff is assured
