but the hand was the hand of August,
taking in the shekels for campaign ex-
penses. And so Mr.. Taggart could tell
the committee little. Mr.. Belmont has
not yet testified. and Thomas F. Ryan.
who ought to know something on the sub
ject. sailed for Europe yesterday to be
gone until near election day. when he will
return to vote for Wilson and Marshall.
There is one thing Mr.. Cortelyou told
the committee which shows progress in
such matters. and which should give US
all hope. A rich man offered contribu-
and wanted it remembered in his favor
when Mr.. Roosevelt came to distributing
the diplomatic posts. In other words.
here was money bid for an appointment
to Office. Mr.. Cortelyou declined the
offer.
In 1892 James J. Van Allen, a rich New
Yorker. made a contribution to the Cleve-
land campaign fund through William c.
Whitney. with the expectation. it was aft
erward charged, of securing a diplomatic
appointment. The sum named in the
printed gossip of that day was s50,cO0.
After his Inauguration. Mr.. Cleveland
rendered the mission to Italy to Mr.. Van
Allen. and urged him to accept, but Mr..
Van Allen had grown sensitive as the re-
suit of attacks in democratic newspapers
and declined. He Cancelled whatever un-
derstanding had been reached concern
ing his campaign contribution. and filled
no office at all under Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
The total amount named by Mr.. Cortel-
you as used by the republicans in the
election of Mr.. Roosevelt is large, but
lacks some four million dollars of the
amount that has figured in all gossip on
the subject since. That Chairman Cortel-
you shook the corporations down for
enormous sums has been repeated so
often in the past eight years, the story
has become fixture in curbstone circles,
and will never be dislodged Mr. Cor
telyou may protest but the curbstoners
know better, and this is the season for
the circulation of charges about Doodle
at the polls. Round and large numbers
are in order.

Canal Administration and Tolls.

Great Britain's protest against legisla-
tion along lines proposed in the pending
Senate bill leaves three possibilities open
in the matter of acting in preparation
for the opening of the Panama canal.
The United States can ignore the British
representations and go ahead with such
legislation as 1t deems advisable, regard
less OF this attempt to dictate a change.
1t can acknowledge the British right to
be heard and halt all the proceedings
a careful consideration of its bearing
upon the pending bill. Or it can go
ahead with such matters as are not in
volved in the British protest, frame a
working canal administration measure
and leave for future consideration the
question of tolls, especially in the direc-
ton of determinations.
1t is expected that the canal will be
open to traffic some time next year, and
there is every reason for promptness in
the enactment of law which provides a
definite mode of administration. 1t will
take some months to organize the operat-
ing force and good results cannot be ex-
pected in the first handling of the canal
If this staff is not most carefully chosen.
A postponement of all canal legislation
to the short session of Congress would
mean a serious curtailment of the time
available for all the preparations and
might initiate against a successful ad-
ministration. 1t is most desirable that
when the canal is thrown open to the
vessels of the world the entire mechanism
should work with perfect smoothness. An
accident Of any kind at the beginning
would be highly detrimental to the pres
tige of the canal and might at the same
time put it out of use for long period.
This British protest turns upon ques-
ton OF treaty Interpretation. Does the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty bind the United
States to the adoption of toll schedule
opening the canal to the vessels of all ma
tions at absolutely uniform rates? Or
does it obligate the United States merely
to offer the use of the canal to the vessels
Of all other countries than this at uni
form rates, whatever may be the condi-
tions under which American ships use
the waterway? The treaty is susceptible
Of the latter Interpretation, according to
those who are now contending for the
free use of the canal by American ships.
The British government urges that the
treaty means absolute uniformity and
prohibits even the rebating of tolls to
American vessels In one form or another.
Against this contention stands the fact,
well established, that it is the present
purpose of certain European governments
to remit to steamship lines canal tolls
collected by the United States. Is this
government TO be estopped from protect
ing itself against such a practice, by a
rigid Interpretation of a treaty to which
no other government than the United
States and Great Britain is a party?
Whatever may be the argument on the
question of discriminatory tolls, way
should be found to enact at this session
at least the administrative features Of the
canal bill and 30 insure the opening of the
waterway time in circumstances to
guarantee it's greatest usefulness to the
commerce of the world.

OF BULGARIAN INVADERS.

London, Nov. i7.--Buletins re-

The cannonading is heard clearly
in Constantinople. An official COM

says the Bulgarian left wing has
been repulsed.
The French ambassador telegraph

Still another message, sent about

view of the heavy cannonading all
day, the ambassadors had decided to
land detachments of bluejackets from
the foreign warshps to guard tho
streets leading TO Pera.

London. Nov 1.-THE negotiations
for an armistice have failed and the
Bulgarians today opened the attack
aga nst the Turks all along the Tcha-
talja lines The heavy artillery duel
continued throughout the day.
II appeared to be a Bulgarian prep
aration for an infantry attack. The
Turkish fleet participated vigorous
ly in the defense of the Marmora end
lines and presumably Turkish war
ships assisted AT the Black Sea end
also.
Nazim Pasha, the Turkish com
mander- in-chicf. in a d 'spatch this
evening claims to have repulsed the
Bulgarian attack and destroyed three
Bulgarian batteries.
No news Of the Battle has been re-

formation as to the strength Of the
forces engaged on either side.
Nazlm Pasha's headquarters are
near the Hademkeui railway station
According to latest reports, the battle
ceased with nightfall.

regarded as indicating the collapse OF
