PracticsI--Authorit TO De
Asked of Congress.

WASHINGTON, March I7.-Secretary
Walter L. Fisher Of the Interior depart
ment today conferred with President Taft
about his plan for utilization, in the con-
struction of a government railroad IN
Alaska, Of equipment and force soon to
be released from work on the Panama
canal. The secretary conceived the plan
while in Alaska last summer and Presi-
dent Taft approved it.
Mr.. Fisher returned to Washington yes-
terday from an extended examination Of
the equipment now in use on the canal
ard brought with him complete list Of
the machinery and rolling stock believed
TO be available, together with the prob
able dates on which II could be released.
He also talked with army engineers who
soon Twill be ready for other assignment
and found them eager to undertake rail-
road building in Alaska.
VIII Formulate Plans.
General w. l.. Marshall. the engineering
adviser Of Secretary Fisher. will begin
at once the outline OF a scheme designed
TO show congress the feasibility of the
transfer Of men and material by water
from Panama to Alaska. 1t will contain
an estimate OF the value OF the roaa now
building from Seward. Alaska, to the
Matanuska coal fields, which probably
will be taken over by the government. II
the proposition originated by Mr.. Fisher
3 adopted.
The best harbor on the Alaskan coast
found BY Mr.. Fisher Is on Resurrection
bay and the best townslte Is Seward.
The secretary thinks, therefore. that It
would be advisable TO take over the prop
srty now under construction aud extend
II to the interior and on TO Fairbanks.
lie has no doubt OF the commercial sue
cess Of such venture. as the United
States navy would be able 90 get. at a
cost far less than is now paid. coal for
all war vessels in the Pacific coast. A
test Of the Matanuska coal has been made
by the navy and officers have recon-
mended that a part Of the field be set
aside and coal mined under direction OF
the~ government.
Mr. Fisher recommends that congress
enact a law authorizing the president to
proceed with the construction of an
Alaskan railroad. just as the canal has
been built. He thinks that by carrying
out such plan a solution win be found
Of the problem Of Alaskan development.

who favor revision OF the sugar schedule

only in that way can revision be had and
relief obtained from the iniquity Of the
present unreasonable and unfair sugar
tariff.
The only hopes OF real revision Is that
the senate will so amend the bill as to
give legitimate relief II the senate
takes such action. as | believe II will.
there is some hope that In conference a
result may be reached that win give re-

foreign producers. For these reasons
