Saturday. MAY u.

Washington, May IL. - The senate
proceedings today we're devoted exclu-
sively to the consideration of the rail-
road rate bill, and they included many
interesting and some sensational feat
ures. The actual accomplishments OF
the day consisted in the completion Of
the consideration Of the Allison amend.
ments, covering the question OF review
by courts OF the orders OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
There were several of these provis-
ions and all we're accepted as presented
or suggested by the Iowa senator, show
ing an almost perfect agreement among
Republican senators. Indeed, one Of
the noteworthy features of the day was
the practical unanimity of the Repub-
licans. They not only voted almost
solidly for the Allison amendments,
but were just as nearly united against
opposing propositions. When an ad.
journment was reached, there was still
prospect of the continuance of the de.
bate for next week.

Favorlng Sea Level Canal.
Washington. May rs. = That the
earthquake that destroyed San Francis.
co helped determine the vote Of the
senate committee ON interoceanio canals
In favor OF a sea level type is apparent
from the fact that feature Of the ma.
iOrity report is discussion ii che
effect earthquakes might have on locks
and dame. The majority report in
favor Of a sea level canal was submitted
today by Senator Kittredge.
The report says that the canal struc-
lures would be exposed 10 injury by
earthquakes, particularly the locks at
Gatun. II the lock walls should be
moved, leakage would result and the
gates would be useless. In case Of
fracture OF locks, months or years
might be required for repairs, and
meanwhile traffic would be interrupted.
II IL maintained that the dam at
Gamhoa proposed by the majority OF
the board OF consulting engineers, 10
not liable 10 injury by earthquakes, for
II viii be built on solid rock iounda.
tion, reinforced with strong walls and
buttressed at each end with walls of
rock. Nor are the side slopes OF the
Culebra cut likely TO be disturbed,
but an earth dam on an alluyisl base
might be cracked, draining the lock
and running the canal. The committee
says:
"At San Francisco, where the water
pipes were broken, the disaster was
greatly augmented by this cause, for
the water could not be held In the
pipes and directed on the flames. What
would happen to the aqueduct, con-
duits, pipes and valves, buried in the
concrete walls, used for filling and
emptying the locks, cannot be well
conjectured,"
II Ia stated that ships Of all classes
could be passed through the sea level
canal in S& hours less than the time
that would be consumed In passing
ships through locks alone. The cost OF
annual maintenance is estimated az
81, $40, 900 for the sea level and t2,-
$50, 900 for the lock type. A sea level
canal free from all obstacles could pass
100 wsrships in less than day. Naval
commanders and commercial shipmas-
ters oppose locks.
The majority argues that an enemy
could destroy lock canal much easier
than sea level canal with explosives.
The cost Of sea level canal is estimat-
ed at $3.50, 900, COO, while the total cost
OF the lock canal would be at least
$3.50, 900, 600, and the cost OF trans
forming the latter into a sea level canal
would be 5000, 100000. The conclu-
sion Of the majority is ''that the sea
level canal can be realized In 10 or IL
years at cost not exceeding 500, ,000,-
900 above that required by the con.
struction of the multilock canal pro
posed by the minority"

Washington, May l4.--The session
of the senate today passed without an

tion Of single amendment to the rail-
road rate bill, Notwithstanding that
measure was under consideration prac-
tically all the time from the hour Of
convening, IL o'clock, until adjourn
ment at 5:15 p m. The most charac.

lection Of amendments. This was ae-

one followed another in rapid suces-
sion.
Among the provisions thus adversely

Of provisions intended to accomplish
this purpose had the effect of bringing

ment that the committee on interstate

MR.. HOWELL SPEAKS IN DooLY

The speech of Hon. Clark How
ell made at Vienna, was one which
contained much good democratic
doctrine. He engaged in no harsh
words against any of his competi-
tors, but dealt mainly in facts and
the issue of the campaign. His
remarks were well received by the
large audience gathered to hear
him, and his supporters feel graft
fed over his reception by the good
people of Dooly county. His ar
gument for the upbuilding of this
section gives thought to every
one who will see what the posi-
bilities of this and adjoining sec
tions may amount to. A few short
years since this was virtually an
unsettled community, and today it
is honeycombed with railroads,
telegraph and telephone lines.
Where the virgin forests stood we
now have prosperous towns and
cities, and fields of waving crops.
We heartily endorse every word
he said as to building up'' in
stead of tearing down our state.
He proved himself to be a man
who has the good of his state at
heart, and we only wish a larger
crowd could have been present to
listen to his words of cheer.

UNCLE REMus IN POLITICS

1t was surprising thing to see
Joel Chandler Harris taking a |
hand in politics. Surprising, not
because he did not have the right
but because he is fifty seven or
fifty eight years old, and he had
never done the like before. Sur
prising because he is as bashful
and retiring as a timid maiden,
and he never had any love for pol
itics.
Joel Chandler Harris has won
fame and fortune with his pen,
but not in the field of politics. He
used to write stock editorials ON
politics, when he had to, in his
days of poverty, but his heart was
never in it because he did not love
the work. His genius finally
carved out its own field, in which
he will never have rival, and he
quit writing political editorials.
But there was a political meet
ing, strange to say, at his home in
West End cat the sign of the
wren's nest" on Friday night in
which his heart throbbed warmly.
He explained to the invited guests
that he called the meeting because
he wanted to "do something for
Evans boy.
To him the memory of "dear old
Evan"-Eyan Howell some
thing precious. For thirty years
they-Evan and Joe-had worked
together, side by side, and climbed
the ladder of fame. Evan, the
employer, and Joe, the employe.
Whatever may have been his err
rors in the struggle with men, with
fate. Evan was always good to Joe,
in turn true and good to Evan.
When the one fell away from among
men, but a short while ago, the 9th
er wept like a brother at the grave.
About thirty years ago Joe Har-
ris { then some years well known
to the present writer went a pen
niless refugee from a yellow fever
scOurge in Savannah to Atlanta.
Evan Howell took him in and gave
him work to do. How well he
did that work is a pride to all Geor
gians. A generation Of men have
gone since then. Howell and also
Hemphill and Grady-the great
triumvi1ate that, with the help of
Harris, made great newspaper
have all gone.
Harris remains, and, as he has
said, before he goes he wants to
"do something for Evans boy"
This is the explanation of the
rather remarkable political meet
ing at "the sign of the wren's
nest,D otherwise the home of Joel
Chandler Harris.
The "nest" thronged with the
friends of the great author, and
the toast was to evans boy"
They had known him from his ear
~ youth up, and they did not draw
pictures of him, such as we see in
Watson's writings, orEin the At
lanta Journals rogues gallery.
The Telegraph is the partisan of
no man in this race, but it confess
es that it would like to see more
political meetings Of this charac-
ter. We understand that not a
harsh word was said of any man
living or dead. They talked about

ry Grady and "Evan's boy."-
