WASHINGTON, June 22-The senate
has taken a position in accord with
the president and the house of repre-
sentatives by declaring for a lock
canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
The result was reached a few minutes
after 8 O'Clock and after a days dis
cuSsion that was almost devoid of in

Importance OF the subject. There las
only one recorded vote in connection

great waterway. 1t terminates what
at n time threatened I o become a
sharp difference between the senate
on the one hand and the president and
the house On the other, for there is no
denying that when the bill was report
ed from the committee. the Indications
in the senate were all favorable to the
sea level type. There has recently,
however, been a steady gain by the
lock canal advocates, Notwithstanding
the reports of the canal committee and
the board of consulting engineers were
against them. The engineers report
has figured prominently in the discus
sion and frequent attention has been
called to the fact that while eight of
the thirteen engineers reported IA
vorably to a sea level canal, all the
five d~issenters were American engi
neers, while of the other eight five
were Europeans. Some senators
avowed their preference for the all
American report.

INVESTIGATION.

Washington. June 25.-The senate
has passed Senator La Follette's joint
resolution extending the scope of the
inquiry 10Y being conducted by the
interstate commerce commission un-
der the Tillman-Gillespie resolution so
as TO have it include the transporter

ton Mr.. La Toilette said the country
had been a~stOunded at the revelations
that had been made in the matter of
the combination between the coal pro

he felt satisfied that the prosecution
of inquiry would show as bad a condi-
ton in the grain business. He as
serted that corruption had been dis
covered at every place where inquiry
had been made and asserted that the
whole system is permeated with
fraud. III support Of his contentious
he said that testimony taken by the
commission indicates a joint owner
ship between the railroads and the
elevator companies to the detriment
Of the farmers, who are entitled to a
free and open market He then gave

judiciary. A report from that com
