PARSONS AGAINST LOCKS
Objects to Plans for Gatun Before
Senate Committee.

Washington. March 13.-William Barclay Parsons
ing engineers which reported on the type OF
canal TO be constructed across the Isthmus Of
Panama. to-day testified before the Senate Com
mittee on 1nteroceanic Canals. He is an advocate
OF the sea level plan and signer of the majority
report The committee examined him concerning
his objections 10 the lock type proposed by he
minority.
II the double gates proposed by the minority
were to be used. said Mr.. Parsons the locks at
Gatun would have a useable length of only 100
feet. In order to get in the flight Of three locks
he said IT would be necessary to reduce the length
from 1.OO feet. which decided on by a vote of
IL 70 of the board the minimum length The
topography of the country demanded the reduc-
ton of the lengths OF the locks If lock canal was
to be constructed, and therefore three members
of the board reversed themselves In order to sign
the minority report.
Mr.. Parsons said that ships 900 feet long were in
near prospect. and these would require IOOO-foot
locks TO pass through the canal If a big shin
should strike one of the gates he thought every
thing movable would be carried TO the Caribbean
Sea. The cost of constructing 1000 foot locks at
Gatun. said Mr.. Parsons, would be sufficient to
condemn the minority plan, even If safety were
not taken into consideration. Tho cost OF abut-
ments necessary 10 support 10O0-foot locks AT This
point had not been estimated since, he said but

W.4NT SHIPS BUILT HERE.
Congressman to Confer soith Presi-
dent on York for Nary Yard.


Washington March l3-President Roosevelt
has invited several New-York and Brooklyn
Representatives TO visit his office tomorrow at
IL O'Clock to discuss the question OF the con-
struction OF more warships in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard Those who Will take part In the
conference are Congressman Parsons. Bennett,
Cocks. Dunwell Waldo. Law, olcott and Calder.
All the Brooklyn members insist on having
enough work given the navy yard force TO keep
II going, and the record made in constructing
the battleship Connecticut. now nearing COM
pletion. is gratifying in economy and excel
lence that they feel confident that the yard will
remain an important shipmaking plant 1t is
understood that Secretary Bonaparte will Join
IN the discussion tomorrow. and If additional
expert advice is required. naval officers in the
construction and repair bureaus can be readily
summoned
The Brooklyn Navy Yard has made such a
good showing on the Connecticut that l am SURE
other battleships will be built there" said Rep
resentative Cocks at the White House to-day.
"Of course we are asking for the work primarily
because we want Brooklyn men to have it and
the Brooklyn Navy Yard to have the credit for
turning out some splendid seagoing fight
ing machines but at the same time we believe
that the country and the navy will benefit If the
force In the yard is kept up to a high state OF
efficiency. The need may arise at any time for
the rush construction OF lot of big battleships
and cruisers.
II there are only one or two private yards in
the country able to turn out the right kind OF
boats we will be IN a bad way. 1t would then
cost us q great many millions Of dollars more to
buy our ships from foreign builders or hastily TO
At up great shops within our own borders where
the work could be done But II the Brooklyn
Navy Yard has enough ships to build. the work
ing force will remain In first class shape, ready
10 drive at bigger work whenever the need
arises us Just the same way with any con-
tractor who often keeps his gangs OF men busy
al small Jobs or work that scarcely pays
simply hold his little army together until the
big contracts along. With his force In
first class shape he is able TO jump in at mo-
ments notice and do the emergency work as IL
should be done"

FOR CONSULAR REFORM.
House Committee Report Ready
Bill Likely to Pass.
IRON The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington March lathe House Committee on
Foreign Affairs to-day completed its report the
Consular Reform bill. which will be brought
UP in the House. The changes made in the bill
as II came from the Senate explained in detail
Relative to the provision for a systematic inspec-
ton and supervision Of consuates the report says
1t is remarkable that the inspection system has
not been inaugurated long Congress has
compelled the frequent and rigid inspection or
practically every other branch of the go, 9rnment
service 1T is safe TO say the results have been
highly beneficial. The army and navy and postal
service and national hanks ore r1iIiar exannnIes
Yet that service which logically would be most
benefited by regular inspection. because of the
and the peculiar temptations to which its agents
are exposed. remains without adequate system
or inspection and check.
The advantages pointed out in the bill Re-
classifying the service and adjusting salaries so
as TO make adequate salary the only compen-
saton Of the consul: authorizing the transfer Of
consuls to act temporarily vtce-consuls general.
deputy consuls general. vice-consuls and deputy
consuls that emergency vacancies may be filed
temporarily; Americanizing the service prohibit
ing consular officers from practising law for private
compensation and abolishing all personal fees
The report says that the clause prohibiting the
appointment of persons not American citizens to
clerical positions In consulates Is important, be-
cause most Of these places are now held by for
eigners who are little in sympathy with the adj
Vancement OF American interests. Their free ac-
cess to the secrets OF trade movements and trade
secrets of their neghbors gives them advantage
which is justly resented by honest exporters, and
is made use Of by dishonest
The Consular Reform bill will probably be
brought up in the House Immediately after the
bers OF the Foreign Affairs Committee confident
that II will be passed at this session. There are
before in the belief that it would destroy patronage
Will manifest little opposition.

BANKS AND CAMPAIGNS.
Move by Senate Committee to Stop
Contributions to Funds.

Washington, March 13.-The Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections to-day instructed a sub
committee consisting Of Senators Foraker. Knox
and Bailey examine the several bills before the
Senate TO prohibit national banks from contribu-
ing money for campaign purposes and report wheth-
err IN their opinion, Of these measures If enact
ed into law would prevent such evils In the future
The committee instructed to draft bill II the
pending measures We're not satisfactory
The action taken Is the result of a hearing given
to Senator Tillman to-day in support of his resoIu
ton directing inquiry whether. since March g..
1893. any payments have been made by national
banks to carry any political campaign. Mr.. Till
man said TO the COMMITTEES that he had positive
evidence that certain national banks had made such
payments but he declined to disclose his evidence.
1t was the opinion of the committee that such CON
tributlons should be efectualy prohibited and that
there should be law making it a felony for any
officer OF a bank 10 contribute funds OF the banL
TO aid any campaign.
