Origin Lies With Railroads

Senators broadly hint that the origin
of the discussion over the violation of the
treaty, which they contend is in no wise
violated by the recent bill, exempting our
own vessels to tolls, may be traced di-
rectly back TO the original opposition to
the building of the canal by the big trans
continental railroads of the country who
are putting up this last desperate fight
In an effort TO hold on to their monopoly
of transportation from the west
While there is some division among the
democrats regarding the canal tolls, 9
very large majority are in favor of the
United States standing pat on the bill
passed at the last session, and the
chances for the favorable consideration
of the Root amendment are very remote

Senator Roots remarkable speech in the
Senate, in which he declared that the
honor of the Upited States was at stake
in the fight which he precipitated by MS
amendment to repeal the provision for
free tolls to ooastwise vessels through
the Panama canal. has aroused anew the
intense interest in the quetsion OF arpi-
ation of canal matters, which Is de-
manded by some members of the upper
house.
Already Senator OGorman, senator
Roots colleague from New York, has
thundered his opposition to the Root
amendment, and he is strongly supported
by Senator Newlands Senator MARITIME,
and Others, who declare that the trans
continental railroads were trying with the
aid of Canadian roads to 'paralyze the
canal" They say that the big American
roads first tried TO prevent the construc-
tion of the canal and for years were sue
cesful in delaying its favorable consider
alton by Congress, and now they are try

Failing in this, they are appealing to
their strong neighbor in the north also
interested in monopolizing transcontinen-
