after attending the inter-parliamentary

yesterday his position regarding the
question of the fertilization of the Pa

Let me state at the outset" said
General Keifer, that the United

"The question of the fertilization of
the canal has been brought up by Mr..
Roosevelt, who in his speech made at
Omaha, Neb., took a stand that puzzles
me, for reasons which | will explain.
"In 1900, when the question arose of
a new treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, superseding
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850 John
Hay, then secretary of state, and Lord
Pauncefote, acting for Great Britain,
drew up treaty which was submitted
to the Senate for ratification by Mr.
Roosevelt, then President.

Britain but the United States modified
it by striking out the anti-fortifcation
clause. Great Britain promptly repu
dated this, aud consequently the pro.

The treaty actually in force is that
of November, 1901, drawn by Mr.. Hay

expressly forbids the fertilization Of
the Panama canal in terms similar to
those of the Suez canal treaty of 1898.
1t was presented for ratification to the
Senate by Mr.. Roosevelt himself, who
then must have approved its provi-
sions.
This treaty, which was accepted by
both countries is now in full force.

the treaty of November, 1901, causes

Oysters Plentiful.

According to Mr.. Lee the rocks and
oyster beds are lined with the choic-
est bivslves and this season is going
to prove a big one for the tongers II
Mr. Lees predictions are verified. He
spent yesterday morning in James
river. but found that the weather con-
ditions were against the Maury re-
naming there and he then came to
Hampton. expecting to go to his home
in Irvington. However, when the
Maury got here Mr.. Lee decided that
it were the better part of discretion
to spend the night in Hampton creek.
He will go to Irvington today if the
conditions are favorable.
Asked concerning the prices oysters
are bringing, Mr.. Lee said he had not
had an opportunity TO ascertain the
prices, but 1t was reported to oyster
Inspector William f. Lawson yester-
day that the bivalves were selling at
% cents a bushel for good oysters and
IS cents for culls. This is the lowest
prices obtaining On the river at the
opening of a season in several years
and the tongers will likely suffer, ow-
ing TO the small demand for seed
oysters.

To Begin Survey.

Mr.. Lee said that he will return 10
James river Tuesday with Chief Sur
veyor Budiger. when the surveying OF
the natural rock will be commenced.
He will carry out his agreement with
the oystermen and he feels that I'M
less the tongers and the private plan-
tiers become unreasonable in getting
az the bottom of the present trouble,
that the necessity for further disturb
ances will be abated.
However" said Mr.. Lee. Il am go

chips will have to fall wherever they
are landed by the surveyors. II the

while II the surveyors find that the

Mr.. Lee spent sometime in the OF

the maps and records showing the
rocks in James river and he is de-
fermined to get at the facts before
Tuesday.
