London, March 9.-HOpe that the
letter sent last Monday by Emperor
William to Lord Tweedmouth, in which
it had been charged his majesty at
tempted to influence Great Britain's S
naval legislation, and the British min
ister's reply thereto would be made
public, was quickly dispelled by AS
quith, chancellor, in the house of COM
mons this afternoon.
Has Nothing TO Add.
In couple of sentences he told the
questioners he had nothing to add tC
his statement of Friday, and that SC
far as he knew TweedmOuth had moth
ing to add to his declaration beside
the fact that Immediately upon the re
ceipt of the emperor's letter the first
lord admiral showed it to Sir Edward
Grey, foreign secretary, who agreed
with the recipient of the letter it hat
no official character and should be
treated as private communication.
1T is clearly out of the question,
continued Asquith, ''to lay a private
and personal correspondence on tn;
table
Is More Communicative.
Later, in the house of lords, Lore
Tweedmouth was somewhat more com
municative, but he threw no light OF
the real contents of the correspond
ence. He did describe the letter from
Emperor William as quite informal ant
very friendly.

Reasons Urged for Postponement OF
Enforcement Held to Apply Equal
Iy Well on Other Side.

Washington, March against the
railroads on all points, summarizes the
decision of the interstate commerce
commission made public in the appli-
cation of corporations for a delay in
enforcing the new law fixing the limit
of working hours for telegraph opera
tors. The railroads asked for an ex-
tension of time within which to COM
ply with the act of congress at many
stations covered by the 13-hour pro-
vision, and at nearly two-thirds, in the
aggregate, to which the 9-hOur pro-
vision relates The petitions alleged
in some cases an inability to secure
the additional force required and in
most cases financial hardship which
the compliance imposes.
Commission Unanimous.
1t was held by the commission unani-
mously that to grant such a wholesale
order of extension would interfere in
effect with the policy of the legisla
ton in its fundamental aspects and

law by an official body charged with
its administration. 1t was held fur
ther that to grant an extension on &C
count of financial distress would open
the door to endless uncertainties, be
cause there is no possible means ol
determining the degree of financia
distress which would justify the ex
tension, and if mere financial hardship
is, in the language of law, good cause
for postponing compliance, it wa:
equally good cause for refusal to pas;
the law.

Stevens also says our commercial
relations with the islands of the Pa
cific and the far east will be little

anna canal will not meet expenses and
will cost more than expected.
No Value In War.
The date of finishing the canal he
fixes as January, 1915. The idea of the
canal being of great value to us in
times of warfare since our naval
forces can be quickly sent from one
coast to the other, he says is absurd.

Stevens believes it would be a far
wiser plan of defense to put the mon
ey that the canal will cost into a great

 The Voice of the Desert.
 After rapid journey of three days. m which he travelled day and night, he reached the next oasis. He was pleased to find that 1t was large and watered by no less than three springs. He had been without water for twen- ty-four hours. and drank greediiy of the frst bubbling stream. He was be- coming fatalist. and he looked upon the finding of this refuge as e sign of his htness to live. If he had missed 1t, there was no doubt that he would have died of thirst. As it was, his life had been spared. and he did not doubt that 1t had been spared for some specific purpose.
 The oasis was nearly forty acres in extent, and the palm trees round It's edges were so thickiy massed together as fo form an almost impenetrabie wall of timber. The undergrowth was rich and luxuriant It was a place that a man might we'll finger in.
 Here he would rest and wait for the approach ot caravan. He was sfiIi Wltnin q hundred and fifty miles of the sreat Route. but he argued that an oasis of such size and irnportance must be well known to all travellers In the desert. He was we'll satisned with his ouar- ters. and in a few days time he recov- cred In some degree from the over whelmfng fear which had seized his mind. The healthy life of the mast year had fortified his mind. But he resolved to remain in his inland refuge and await the arrival of his fellow men.
 month passed. and no one came to the oasis. But at the end of the month an event happened which cut of Sir Richard Gaunt from either advance or retreat, and left him as heiplessIy stranded as a sailor cast on an island without boat or the means of mak- ing one.
 The camel. which had been aiiine for some days. and which had at tim es even refused food. lay down on its side and closed its eyes and died. Sir Rich- ard Gaunt. who had looked on the an- final as part of the desert, and likely to live for centuries. was qiute over come by this final blow to all his hopes. It was true that he did not intend to proceed on his journey till he could find some companions. but he had ai- ways looked on the camel as essential to his progress. Without 1t he would be a mere encumbrance to any cara van.
