FRIENDS OF A LOCK
CANAL ARE ALARMED

Washington-Frie Of the admins
tration plan for lock canal across the
isthmus of Panama are alarmed at the
action of the senate in agreeing to the
motion of Senator Kittredge, Of South
Dakota, that his bill providing for a
sea-level canal shall be the unfinished
business OF that body. The Importance
of the action can not be overestimated
It means that, as long as Senator Kit.
.tredge pleases. the bill viii be put be-
fore the senate and remain there to
the exclusion of everything else except
as 1t pleases the South Dakota senator.
The significance of the action lies in
the fact that no voice was raised IN
the senate in opposition 10 the pro-
gramme.
Those who favor the lock canal are
disposed to let the bill so TO a vote and
see IL Kittredge can demonstrate the
truth Of his assertion that he has a
majority for his kind of canal.

in organizing and holding the pro-
posed assembly next year, they will in
stitute Injunction proceedings to pre-
emit those membtrs from using the name

ton, refused to receive the information

CANNONS ULTlMATUM
ROOSEVELT SUPPORTS ELM ON
STATEHOOD BILL.
Senator Foraker TheRtens 20 Make
the senate Measure an APDrO-
priatiOn Rider.

ashington-Speaker Cannon has
handed out an ultimatum to the senate
leaders as to what he viii stand for in
connection with the statehood bill, He
has yielded far enough from his orig
inal position, which was a most vehe-
ment one, to lei President Roosevelt and
the republican leaders know that he
will agree to the statehood bill going
through as passed by the senate If 1t
contains the amendment introduced by
Senator Foraker at the last session Of
congress.
This amendment provided that New
Mexico and Arizona should hold q con-
stitutional convention and arrange to
be consolidate into one state, the con-
stitution passed by the convention to
be submitted to the people of both ter
ritories in an election to determine
whether they would rstify it and agree
to becoming joint state. In the event
that either territory voted against the
constitution, then the whole thing was
to be void and no state organized.
There are a variety of reports as tc
what is to become OF the statehood bill
Senator Foraker threatens to attach the
bill as it was passed by the senate to
one of the principal appropriation bills
forcing the house to accept 1t that way
or be responsible for the failure of pas
sage of an appropriation bill.
The president, however, has given an
intimation that he will not be satisfied
with that sort of thing. President
Roosevelt stands absolutely with Mr.
Cannon on the statehood proposition
and has so informed senators who have
been interested enough to inquire. Mr.
Roosevelt throughout the session has
shown a disposition to solicit and fol,
low the advice Of the speaker in al
legislative matters in which Mr.. Can
non has shown an interest.
