President PROCEEDING Carefully.

President Taft had another long confer
cnce with the conferrees on the immigra
ton bill to-day. and announced that he
would hold still another before approving
or rejecting that measure. The Chief EX
ecutive has until Friday 10 act on the
nil. and il is understood that he will
summon Commissioner Williams from
Ellis Island TO consult him regarding GER
tain features OF the measure. The con-
ferrees declared after tO-days confer
ence that President Taft had given no
intmation Of his final attitude toward
the measure. 1t has been urged on the
President that in its present form the
measure would exclude at least 80 per
cent Of the Jews who now come TO this
country. He is somewhat skeptical on
that point. but II is one of the phases he
wishes TO inform himself on before sign
ing the bill Those who favor the meas
ure insist that not more than per cent
of the Jews seeking admission would be
excluded.

Those Culebrs Slides.

Those who arc tempted 20 become
alarmed at the reports Of slides into the
Culebra cut Of the Panama Canal should
recall the fact that Colonel Cocktails. the
chief engineer, predicted them in Deem
Der, when ne returned to this country
with tho President, as was related in Tic
Tribune at the time. Colonel Gocthals
explained then that additional slides of at
least two million yards of material were
expected and undoubtedly would occur.
but that unless they exceeded that yard
age they would in no way interfere with
his plans 10 begin tho flooding of Gatun
Lake by July l. Colonel Cocktails re-
marked that if the slides greatly eX-
cecded that yardage il might delay tho
closing of the locks at either end OF
Gatun Lake, and i'm turn might make II
impossible to take vessel through by
October. although il would not at all in
terfcrc with tho formal opening of the
canal. It IS the desire of tho chief on
Ginccr to begin filling the lake by July J..
so that he may have the benefit of the
heavy rains Of July. August and Scptem-
Der, after which month the rainfall is
likely 10 1dl OH. mere - dIpi''i ~
mcnt of uncertainty. however and that Is
the completion Of the lock gates by the
Pittsburgh contractor who has charge Of
the work and who Is making the gates IN
this country Tho contractor is already
sixty days behind delivery, and further
delay would be as effective in preventing
the flooding of tho lake beginning July !
as would slides in excess of the amount
anticipated Even were the closing of the
gates deferred month IT might still he
possible to I'll the lake. That OF course,
would depend on tho amount of prccipi-
tation during August and September 1t
was precisely because of these uncertain
clements that Colonel Cocktails set the
date for tho formal opening on January

occasion to sWerve.
