Washington. Feb. 10.-The Cana

when It was taken up in executive
session of the senate yesterday

various occasions n connection with

timated that Mr.. Anderson was too
close to the interests which control
power rights at Niagara Fails, ana
declared that the whole treaty was
prepared for tn. purpose Of quiet

The references by Mr.. Smith to
Mr.. Anderson and former Secretary
Root displea cd Mr.. Lodge and he
d. handed Of Mr.. Smith to know

SEA LEVEL
CANAL
SENATOR'S BELlEvE MISTAKE
WAS MADE IN ADOPTING LOCK
sYsTEM--cosr OF LOCK CANAL
WILL REACH ABOVE $500, ooo..
600.

Wash ngton, Feb 10.-The entire
question of the type OF canal that
should be adopted in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal was before
the Senate yesterday, Senator Kilt
redge, chairman OF the Committee
on Ineer-Oceaaic Canals, Senator
Foraker and Senator Teller all de-
claring that they believe grave
mistake had been made in adopting
the lock project.
+ OPPOSED TO BOND ISSUE.
The discuss on grew out OF a re-
port by Mr.. Kittrcdge on the bill In
crossing the limit of cost for tn
canal TO $500, 10000 and authoriz.
ing the Secretary of the Urea Jury to
Issue bonds to that amount. He said
that this committee had decided that
the measures should be cons dered
by the FiDance Committee and he
reported it back with that recommen
dalton.
In making the report Mr.. Kilt
redge took occasion to say that the
Canal Committee d,eapproved of the
proposed issue of bonds, and he read
statement OF the expenditures on
account OF the canal showing that
to date they have been $17,964,-
46s.
Senator Kitterdge sa d that while
the engineers OF the canal zone had
originally placed the cost OF a lock
canal at $139.00O,OOO they had now
Increased their estmates DO $780,
100000, whereas, It had been esti-
mated that sea level canal could
have been built for $4,000, 900.
I'm respon.e to question from
Senator Foraker he expressed the
opin on that the lock canal had not
progressed SO far that It would not
now be possible to adopt the sea
level type. Mr.. Foraker agreed with
Mr.. Kittredge that the sea level wa
terway would have been preferable
from an economic standpoint.
Senator Teller Agrees.
Senator Teller also expressed the
opinion that a sea level canal could
be constructed more cheaply than
lock canal and he added that II
w~uld be N far less danger Of con-
Referring 70 the reports that MIR.
Tart had ordered he widening OF
Cu'ebra cut, Mr.. Teller In response
to questions by Mr. Money said he
did not suppose Mr.. Taft actually
ordered" the change, but that he
had recommended II.
The regular order was demanded
and without disposing of the canal
que ton the senate passed to other
subjects.

T|LLMAN URGES SCRAP BETWEEN
MICHIGAN and MASSACHUSETTS


amused his colleagues Mr.. SIN tn
told the Massachusetts, senator that
he did not Ike his looks, his scswl
nor his irritating manner. Other
members present enjoyed the debate
hugely.
Senator Tiflman interrupted to re-
MARI that he hoped Ma sachusetts
and Michigan would clinch, but that
he supposed there were "too many
centuries of culture n the Maspa-
chusetts member to permit of any
tn ng so commonplace.
IF they would only get together
said Mr.. Tillman, refer ing to his
encounter in she senate a few yerrs
age with his then colleague, Mr.. Nc
Dauriu, cit would detract from one
chapter OF my history which / ehould
like to put beh nd ne."
After a long debate members Of
the foreign relations committee sug.
sc ted that they be permitted to
again consider the Canadian treaty
and to hear such persons. including
Senator Smith, as desired to make
statements in regard to the objec-
tions raised aga INST II.
The treaty was not re-committed.
but consideration was postponed un-
III next Monday, and in the mean
time a hearing will probably be
granted by the committee.
