that the outbreak is Anti-American

There is an increasingly bitter fight on
the details of the Panama Canal bill.
Mr.. Patterson has moved to strike out
the provision abrogating the eight hour
law on the Isthmus. Such motion
furnished the very opportunity that the
enemies of the Canal want, fight for
time and delay. No one who knows any
thing about conditions on the Isthmus
imagines for a minute that the abroga-
ton of the eight hour law there would
have the slightest effect on the labor situ-
alton in the United States. Whether the
canal is built by contract or by the COM
mission directly, the labor will not be
American. American laborers will not
go to the Isthmus; and could not work
there as they do in the states fthey went.
But the opposition to any sort of canal,
and it is strong opposition, is willing to
make use of the labor demagogue or any,
thing else it can get hold of to harry the
measure and add embarrassment, delay
and expenses to the undertaking. There
has as yet been no vote taken on this
feature Of the measure, and the object of
the opposition will simply be to delay a
vote as long as possible.

The prospect of trouble with China is
again commanding attention. There is
no question that the outbreak there is
more serious than had previously been
supposed. Advices to the State Depart

Philippine is being made ready for any
eventualities. There is light cruiser
squadron that can be placed off the China
coast in short order, and if necessary
troops can be transported and landed
with little delay. 1t is not thought that
matters will reach this acute stage, but

WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. 18th, 1sot

WASHINGTON d. c., Feb. 10th, 1906.
REPRESENTATIVE "Pete" Hepburn
- has been riding around in cab ever
since the rate bill that bears his name
passed the House. 1t was decided
victory, and not an unexpected one. But
Il real figh; on the bill is still to come.
The Senate Committee that is now con-
sidering ti.e measure is divided, and
though there may be unanimous report
OH the bill TO the Senate, it does not now
! look as il there would be. OF course the
air Is full of rumors. You can hear any,
thing you want to on either side. 1t
is reported that the Senate is ready
to lay down and report the bill in
iu:t the condition it came from the
House. 1t is said, with equal appear
ance OF authority, that the Senate will re-
port an entirely different bill. 1t is said
that the Senate will honestly try to ar
range compromise measure that the
conferees can agree ON, and it is said
again, most sinister rumor of all, that
the enemies OF the bill see their chance
for q prolonged fight and will throw the
measure back on the House amended in
such shape that there will be session
long Gght over it, with the probabilities
against there being any legislation worth
a name this session. The Hepburn bill
is far from what the railroads want, but
it is not quite as bad as they feared. The
way an impartial outsider looks at 1t
was illustrated very well to-day in the
comment Of Ray Standard Baker, the
magazine writer, who certainly has no
great love for corporations OF any sort
and who has been deyoting all his time
lately to an arraignment of the railroads
based on testimony gathered d from official |
sources. He was at the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day, looking up |
more evidences on which to continue his |
campaign. When asked what ,.5a .5a ..hapaht |
of the Hepburn billin the shape it finally /
got through the house, he said 81 think
personally that it is good measure. 1t |
has some faults and l do not think it |
goes far enough. But it goes in the right |
direction. 1 believe it is going to pass
the Senate, and it certainly ought to-"
OF course this is the opinion of only one
man, and he is a radical. But it is the |
expression Of man who has spent much
time in the study Of railroads, and one
who has no particular axe to grind. So |
as an opinion it ought to be worth some
thing.
