points, and closed with only a fractional
recovery, So much Importance has been
attached recently to matters affecting
railroad finances that the decline in Ches-
apeake & Ohio depressed the general rail-
road list considerably. Less favorable
prospects for the enlistment of new cap
ital, decreasing railroad earnings and the
uncertain outlook for the per cent. in
crease in freight rates all bear upon the
speculative position of the railroad stocks
which have been increasingly sensitive
recently. 1t is a favorite theme of trad
ers that no sustained bull market can be
expected until the railroads are definitely

Baltimore & Ohio showed decided weak

Pacific and other stocks also gave way

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in AL
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 5.--Closing quotations
today showed general losses, which were
largest among the railroad stocks The
market made a small advance in the
early trading under the stimulus of active
speculative buying. The Steel stocks,
yesterdays strong points, were again the
favorites, While the buying appeared to
be largely in the nature of short cover
ing there were evidences of increased
speculative dealings on the long side.
A severe break in Chesapeake & Ohio
effectively checked the movement. An
nouncement after the close yesterday of
a $33, 100000 issue of per cent notes
caused the stock to sell off two points at
the opening today. Later it became
known that the terms of the issue pro-
vided that $17OO0,O00 should be set aside
out of earnings during the next five years
for improvements and betterments, these
expenditures to be made before dividends
were paid. AS Chesapeake & Ohio's sur
plus for the last fiscal year, after pay
ment of dividends was only s15900o, 1t was
thought that this new obligation impair
ed the prospect Of continued dividend

President Wilson reached the Capitol 10
minutes before the time for the reading
and waited in Speaker Clark's room un-
til 1890 o'clock, when he was escorted
into the chamber and began reading his
brief address as soon as burst OF ap-
plause had died away,
Mr.. Wilson's message was so brief that
he had finished reading almost before the
surprised galleries realized he had be-
gun. 1t took less than five minutes and
as another burst of applause greeted its
close Mr.. Wilson hurried out of the cham
Der and drove back to the White House.
The Joint session dissolved at once and
the two houses resumed their work.
Not a sound had interrupted the Pres
ident as he read his message.

the address fitted his ideas exactly.
THE Presidents address pleases me-
he said, because it means honesty al

sage, except a doubt that had existed
in some quarters in Congress as to
how strongly convinced he was as to
the necessity of repeal.
Senator Shiveley. acting chairman
of the foreign relations committee, said
tonight that he was assured President
Wilson's reference to ''other matters"
meant all foreign matters confronting
the government.
When the House committee on in
terstate commerce meets tomorrow it
is expected to favorably report the
Sims bill to repeal the exemption
clause. On the Senate side bill for
that purpose was introduced last year
by Senator Root of New York.
The Chiffon Amendment
Senator Chiffon, discussing his
amendment to accomplish the repeal
indirectly, said that he believed it was
way out of the difficulty that might
meet the views of some who do not
favor direct repeal by Congress. The
President had not been consulted with
relation to it. he said. Some senators
were inclined to the belief that the
Chiffon amendment would leave Con-
gress open to the charge that it had
attempted TO dodge an issue fatty
placed before it by the President. Sem
would be the same as a fiat repeal
and that Congress might better act
by direct repeal.
Some of the leaders in Congress, in
cluding Majority Leader Underwood
Of the House, who opposed the repeal
had no comment to make. Many SEN
ators and congressman praised the
message. Others indicated that they
would support the repeal, though they
did not agree with the Presidents po-
sition. Il voted for toll exemption"
said Senator Kern, Democratic lead
er in the Senate. IF I vote for the
repeal it will not be because | have
changed my views. If 1 support the
Presidents request 1 will do so be-
cause of his desire for Congress to
support his foreign policy"
Representative Palmer of Pennsyy-
varia announced that poll of the
House conclusively demonstrated
there are more than enough votes in
the House to sustain the Presidents S
appeal.
Representative knowland of Cali
fornia, Republican, issued a statement
declaring that because of the failure
of foreign policy, and to please ma
tions that are our commercial rivals,
the government policy must be revised
and Congress turn somersault, and
this country be Inundated in the eyes
of the world" He added that in a
speech during the Presidential election
camoaign President Wilson had said
referring to the Baltimore free tolls
plank: "Our platform is not molasses
to catch flies; it means business; men
who talk one way and vote another
will be retired from public life"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-03-06


and to prescribe tolls in cases exempt
ed. This would put it up directly to
the President to eliminate the exemp-
tion.
Comment on Message.
Aside from the bearing of today's
message on the Panama tolls ques-
ton, some of the phrases used by the
President attracted widespread COM
ment in Congressional quarters as re-
lating to foreign relations in general.
There was a disposition to regard
some of his statements as in the ma
ture of a warning on the difficulties
involved in other matters of even
greater delicacy and nearer conse-
quence."
Later in the day, the President him
self in talking with callers, explained
that these phrases had no significance
beyond their bearing on the need OF
rigorous good faith in the Panama
tolls question as an evidence OF un-
wavering good faith on all other ques-
tions, and that nothing critical was
pending in foreign relations. But the
language of the message continued 10
be commented upon as having an ap-
plication considerably broader than the
Panama question.
Three Points Made.
Three points in particular were
noted:
First. the Presidents statement that
no communication he had yet aooress-
ed to Congress carried "graver or more
far-reaching implications to the IN
terest of the country"
Second that everywhere outside the
United states the language of the
-Pauncefote treaty was given only
one Interpretation.
Third. the concluding statement as
to "other matters of even greater DEL
icacy and nearer consequence
The President further told his call
ers that while he had never recelVeo
anvi formal communications on the SUD-
loot he had understood that European
nations generally took the same view
as did Great Britain, that the hay
Pauncofote treaty was violated by the
Panama canal act. He pointed out that,
in dealing with foreign affairs. nations
which believed the United States dld
not keep a promise on so important
treaty as the -Pauncefote con-
yention would not be likely to expect
sincerity on other delicate questions.
Feeling in Other Nations.
Word had come to the President OF
a general impression in Europe that
the United States was sailing as close
to the wind as possible" in interpret
ing promises made in it's treaties.
No pressure had been brought to
bear by any nation to emphasize their
view in this connection, but the Pres
ident felt confident that foreign gov
ernments had this feeling on the sub
ject.
In this connection President Wilson
| revealed the fact that since his talk
year ago with Former Ambassador
Bryce, in which he gave assurances
| that the tolls question would be taken
| up at the regular session Of Congress,
no communication, formal or other
wise, had passed between Great Brit
ain and the United States.
The President said no particular
thing had caused him to read the mes

ton, Democratic member of the in
teroceanic canal committee, introduced
an amendment to the canal act which
would give the President authority to
make or suspend tolls by proclamation
and to prescribe tolls in cases exempt
ed. This would put it up directly to

ton.

WESTERN CANADA'S
STRONG POSITION
1.-THE WHEAT GRANARY OF THE
~ WORLD" A WELL AP- "5'E
-
Piled TERM.

Western Canada occupies q stronger
position today than 1t ever has occu-
pied. Taking one year with another,
the efficiency of its lands to produce
has been we'll proved. It has not been
said of it that year in and year out
there were bumper and bounteous
crops. If such a condition existed 1t
would be phenomenal in the history
OF any country. With an extensive
territory producing grain, hogs. cattle
and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and
1000 miles long, it is easy to con-
ceive OF wide variation in tempera-
ture and climate; there is variation In
rainfall and snowfall; every section Is
not the best in the district-some are
better than others and some worse,
but as a general thing. the great per-
centage is better" This past year
has shown that some portions are not
altogether immune from periods OF
drought The same may be said OF adj
joining states to the south. But this
year has also shown that In the
greater portion of Western Canada
drought does not appear, but even In
the drought-stricken area of this year,
past years have shown that the soil
produces wonderfully we'll and even
this year. with modern methods,
known as "dry.farming," good crops
were harvested. The large number
of Americans who during the past six
teen years have been attracted to
Canada have not gone simply because
of the advertising of that country, but
because their friends and their old
time neighbors have done we'll there,
and with careful and judicious farm
ing almost everyone has done we'll.
AS a result Of the great influx OF
Immigration the open or prairie home
stealing area Is being rapidly taken
up. The fact that this Is SO is evil
dence that Western Canada lands are
productive, and on these open plains
today are to be seen the homes OF
successful farmers from almost every
state In the Union. They have earned
their patents, and now own outright
their $50 acres of land. together prob
ably with an adjoining 100 acres.
