RESUMES ms TESTIMONY.
Ceroner Goethais Tells Senate Conansi,
 tem More About Canal.

CoroneI 6soethaIs Tells Senate Commit-
 tee More About Canal.
 washington, Jan. 18.--Colonel Goe- thais chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission. today resumed his eesu- mony before the Senate Canal Commit- tee. He went into details concerning the structure of the various dams and locks, giving 1t as his opinion that all of them. and especially the big pro- ject at Gatun were going to be abso- lutely safe and capable of use in pass ing the largest vessel in the world through the canal.
 A proposition of working both night and day on certain parts of the canal is under consideration by the commits sion according to statement by Col- onel Goethals when the work in the locks begins in January next. 1t will be advisable to keep concrete. mixing machinery constantly in operation. The question of health of the employees working at night has been taken up with Colonel Gorgas of the sanitary department. and he has given his opin- ion that 1t will not be harmful to any appreciable extent. provided the men faithfully take daily doses of quinine, The malariaI mosquitoes are abroad at night and the disease they convey Is liable to increase among night work men, if proper precaution Is not taken.
 Colonel Goethals said that he con- sidered 1lo feet sufacient width for the canal locks. If we made them much wider than that it would prac- tically call for a widening of all the dry docks of the world. We will be able to accommodate ships of los feet beam in the canal. doubt if the beam of ships will ever be greater than that" FE
 The examination of Goethals was not completed. The hearings will be re- snmed on Wednesday next.

COMMERCIAL PARLrAMENr:
Conservative Clan-es of France to Re-
 sist Socialist Party.


 sist Socialist Party.
 Paris, Jan. 1s.-lTwo significant events. marking the growing determi- nation of the. conservative classes to resist the encroachments of revolution ,ary Socialism. were observed here to- day. f ! The first Is the initial meeting of the "Commercial Parliament" a body or- ganized to secure better representation of commercial and industrial interests before the Legislature and generally to combine the business men of France into a sort of non-political parliament in the defense of their common inter- ests. The chief aim of this Parliament is to meet the Socialists on their own ground by promoting joint action be- tween masters>and men, thus prevent ing the pressure for executive State interference.
 Tn second event Is the appearance in Paris today of a weekly paper called "Opinion," on the model of The London Spectator. The purpose of this publi- cation Is to marshal conservative rep resentative opinion of all shades against Democrats of collectivisn, such as premature aspirations for disarrnent. etc. To the Socialistic warfare of the classes 1t will oppose cp-oppression be- tween the classes. The prime movers in this movement are Paul Doumer, President Of the Chamber of Deputies, ex-Premier Ribot and Alexander Mil- Ierand, former Minister of Commerce.

 gresn To Make ApprOpriatton.
 washington. Jan. 1S.-Secretary Root has strongly urged upon congress an Appropriation of ss0,000 to enable the Government of the United States to ba represented in the exposition to pc opened at Quito. August 10 next to celebrate the one hundredth anniver- sary of the independence of Ecuador. In his letter, the Secretary says;
 '"The fact that Ecuador will be the first of the South American countries to celebrate the one hundredth annf- versary of the movement for indepen- denec Is in itself a sufficient reason for the acceptance of the invitation and for the zealous cooperation ot the government and the people of the United States in this important event in the history of a sister American republic"
 The Secretary further recalls the fact that Ecuador's largest trade is with the United States: that she Is one of the richest countries in Latin America; that q railroad managed ana constructed by Americans Is about to be opened, connecting Quito with the sea; and he believes that the interests of American exporters, will be fur thered by a creditable display at this exposition.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.


 FeateRnal Insurance Lodges Cannot Collect Back rremlums without
 Authority.
 Lexington, Ky. Jan. 1s--A case of vital interest to those secret orders of the country who have an insurance feature was decided here today.
 The Royal Arcanum local lodge sued many former members of the order for sums which officials of the local lodge claimed they had paid for these mem bers. This was done by carrying the members who did not pay. several months. in order to protect their in- surance. Justice Oldham dismissed the suit ruling that the officials paid the dues without authority from the mem bers sued. The amounts involved were small and the justice ruled that no appeal can be taken to a higher court. Representatives of practically every secret order with an insurance feature here watched the proceedings and will report the findings of the justice to their respective supreme lodges.

 Toronto. Ont, Jan. ~1s.--When cus- toners of thes-head office in Toronto and seventy-eight branches throughout Canada called at the Sovereign Bank of Canada today. they found other banks in possession. as 6 result of transference of all business of the Sov- ereign Bank to the Bankers' Associ- ation of Canada, consequent upon the decision of the Sovereign Bank to go into liquidation.
 There will be no interruption to bus mess so far as the Sovereign Banks customers and depositors are concern ed. The branches of the bank have been assigned to different banks, each will take charge of the accounts in the particular branch with which 1t en- gagged. The customers will present theif checks or pass books as usual and they may either get cash or a cer- tifcate of deposit from the particular bank that is in charge.
 The only point in which the serious difflculties may be created, Is in the tended a line of credit by the bank. The present condition of the financial market may render 1t extremely difil- cult for some firms to place their loans. and runor ss busy with the names of several that may be forced to resign.
 From early last evening until the early hours of this morning, meetings were held in the head office of all the banks in the city. to discuss the situ- ation created by the liquidation of the Sovereign Bank. The. officials of those banks which are interested in the financing of the various branches of the Sovereign Bank were engaged in making their arrangements for today in order to obviate any panic which might possibly follow the announce T,enf that the Sovereign Bank was go- ing into liquidation.

discarded crutches and forgot their
various aches, as many as were able
spending the day on the large lawn IN
front of the hospital. Old cronles who
have been separated for many days by
being nlaced in different wards soon
were swapping stories, which ranged
from the virtues of their respective
nurses back to the days When they
were healthy youngsters. Others tnSIe
were who could not be induced TO taIk,
