M. o. In Chicago as Dead as Caesar.
One of the most remarkable reversals
of public opinion on record is that
which has taken place in Chicago in
the past year in the matter Of mu-
nicipal ownership and operation. The
municipal ownership theory, which a
little more than year ago flourished
here with so much vigor as to attract
the attention Of the entire civilized
world, is now the deadest duck in the
pond. Apparently nobody believes In
1t any longer Certainly nobody ever
talks any more about it.-Chicago Jour

PANAMA MEASUREMENTS.
Great importance of the Curves in Sea
Level Canal CONSTRUCTION.

Level Canal Construction.
From Secretary Taft's 1.-THE Panama Canal" in
the December Century.
The a-level canal, as projected, is to
be 40 feet deep, $50 feet wide across the
bottom in earth, with sloping banks 80
as to make its width vary from 300 to
400 feet on the surface; and 900 feet in
rock, with width at the surface of 20S
feet, so that the sides in rock are virtu.
ally vertical. The amount in rock
slightly exceeds that in earth, but for
practical purposes half of the land canal
is $50 feet across the bottom. and half of
it is 200 feet. In order to avoid great ex.
cavation, both types of canal have con-
siderable curvature. The curvature of
the course in the lock canal is not i'm
portant, for the reason that it occurs
mainly in lakes in which the channel
generally exceeds 900 feet in width, and
for much of the way reaches 1000 feet.
The curvature in the sea level canal
is. however, of the utmost Importance,
because it is so narrow, and at times
the current must be considered. From
shore line to shore line the curvature of
the sea level canal is about Al per cent
of the whole distance and is nearly ID
degrees per mile; and for twenty miles
toward the Atlantic shore from the
point where the water of the Chagres
River is to be taken into the canal the
curvature is So PEI cent of the distance,
and averages nearly II degrees per mile.
The curves are made long. and as
gentle as possible, but they are to be
considered in connection with the DOS
sible current in the canal produced by
the water which is to be let into the
canal from the streams of the valley
through which the canal is to be con-
structed.

To Expel Senator Burton.

Washington June 2. Th.
hrst s'eps looking towards the
expulsion from the United State:
Senate of Joseph Ralph Burton,
convicted of a crime against the
United States, whose case was
recently affirmed on appeal by
the United States Supreme court,
has been taken by the senate
committee on privileges and
elections. Senator Bailey, OF
Texas, has offered in the COM
mittee resolution declaring that
Burton ''be and hereby is expell-
ed from his seat as a senator of
the Uuited States from the state
of Kansas. s." The second part Of
the resolution directs the secre-
tary of the senate to inform the
governor OF the state of Kansas
of the action taken.
The resolution would have
been agreed to unanimously at
the meeting of the committee
Yesterday, had it not been de-
clded 10 give the Kansas senator
further opportunity to submit
his resignation. 1t was also d C.
cided that the committee should
have before it, when action was
taken, the record of the court in
the case, and that will be ready
at the special meeting of the
committee called for next Tues /
day to consider Mr.. Bailey's reso-
luton. The committee agreed |
10 vote on the resolution that day |
unless Burton resigns in the
meantime.
Burton is now at his home in
Abilene, Kan, and it is believed
lere that be will hand his resig-
lation 10 the Governor of Kan
as IN time to forestall action of
he com mittee next Tuesday.
Republican senators and infuen-
ial friends of Burton will make
very effort to. induce him to re-
ign, for it is a foregoing con-
lusion that he will not be per-
litted to draw single days
llary as senator after next Tues
