HOPES OF SETTLEMENT
STATEMENT OF ISSUES WITH
CANADA TO BE PREPARED.

Mr.. Chandler P. Anderson of New York
has been selected by Secretary Root to
prepare for the active state of negotiation
a number of issues between the United
States and Canada left unsettled by the
joint high commission which met in Wash
ington in the winter of 1898 and 1899. These
relate to the delimitation of boundaries and
fishery rights the bonding privileges on
Canadian railroads entering the United
States. the fur seal controversy and other
matters. Correspondence which has taken
place on a semi ficial basis between Off
cials in the United States and Canada has
given ground for the hope that at least
some of these issues which have long
threatened the good relations of the domin-
ion with the United States may now be
quickly and satisfactorily adjusted by di-
rect negotiations. To save time in effecting
the exchanges. it is expected that the Cana
dian government will designate some per-
son, proba bly, Mr.. Foster, to come to Wash
ington and assist Sir Mortimer Durand in
an expert capacity in the presentation of
the British side of the case.
Mr.. Anderson was secretary for the Amer
lean members of the joint high commission,
acted in a similar capacity for the Ameri-
can representatives in the Bering sea and
the Alaskan boundary affairs. and is thus
fully acquainted with the rather complex
questions to be handled in the negotia tions
about to begin.

PROPOSED LOCKS AT GArUN.
aired Noble Examined Regarding
Panama Canal Plans.

Alfred Noble, a New York engineer today
testified before the Senate committee on
lnteroceanic canals in support of the mi
norlty report of the board of consulting
engineers, declaring in favor of a lock tvpe
canal for the isthmus of Panama. He was
a member of the board and signed the
report advocating the lock project
Senator Kittredge examined Mr.. Noble
concerning the statements of Engineer
Bates and Parsons to the effect that 1t
was impossible to construct a flight of
three locks at Gatun, which would have
useable lengths of more than 100 feet
The witness said that he had drawn the
plans for the locks himself and that they
were $50 feet long, with useable lengths of
800 feet. He insisted that the hill was
long enough at that place TO accommodate
the three locks. Mr.. Noble admitted that
the board had a scarcity of Typographical
information and that the borings to show
the material for foundations did not cover
the full length of the proposed locks He
said he was not aware that the site was
short and he did not think the board had
information whether ii was or not.
In the event the site proved TO be short
Mr.. Noble said he thought there were
other sites available for the locks, and If
not, two instead of three locks could be
constructed. This would necessitate two
lifts of 425s feet each, which is 121a feet
more than any lift of which he had knowl-
egde.

Hopeful for Concessions.

While. of course, the many conflicting
and inharmonious statements emanating
from various sources purporting to reflect
the views of operators seem to indicate an
entire absence of unity and concord among
them in regard to the question of advancing
wages. l am nevertheless hopeful, II not
fully convinced, that the urgency and Sc
riousness of the situation will prompt them
to make such reasonable concessions in the
matter OF wages and conditions as will en-
able US to join them In the rehabilitation of
our Joint movement and the perpetuation of
the practical business relationship under
which we have worked with mutual advan-
tage during the past eight years. And to
this end feel it incumbent. upon me to say
that a very large degree of responsibility
VIII rest upon US If these proposed negotia-
tions lead to success.
''As to the power and scope of the conyen-
ton, you have undoubtedly noted from the
call which was issued by your internationa
secretary treasurer that while the principal
purpose OF the meeting is TO consider our
wage agreements, Its function is not con-
fined to the one subject 1t may in addition
thereto transact such other business as may
be lawfully brought before it.
In the consfderat ton and discussion of all

AN ASTOUNDING CHARGE.
Midshipmen Accused of Conspiring fol
General Mediocrity.

Midshipmen at Annapolis have been con-
spring to prevent high standard of
scholarship, according TO the statement of
Secretary Bonaparte before the House COM
mittee on naval affairs today. Brilliancy
has been discouraged and a sort of agree
ment to hold all nlidshipmen on a dead
level so far as class records are concerned
has been in existence, so the Secretary OF
the Navy told the committee There has
been a tendency to place the man who
barely passes on q plane with those having
higher records, and anything like superior
records has been discouraged.
Secretary Bonaparte said that a recent
order for the graduation In September of
members of the senior class who have good
averages and holding the others until six
months later had already affected the COM
bination against high grades and improved
class records.
The Secretary Of the Navy discussed haz-
ing at length, and objected to amendments
to his anti-hazng bill in the Senate. which
provide that midshipmen may be tried by
court martial for hazing upon their own
petition. He said this would be fatal to
discipline, and urged the passage of his
bill for graduated punishment without
amendment.

Morrison continued his argument in the
packers case today The basis of his con-

immunity Is that under the rulings of the
Supreme Court of the United States a cor

that all the books and papers which were
turned over to the government during its
investigation of the beef industry were the
books and papers of corporations which did
not in any sense carry immunity to indi-
viduals
