Il The Searchli8ht
Enlarging the Suez Canal.

In order to meet the keen competition of
the rapidly completing Panama canal the
Suez Canal Company is planning extensive
improvements, and stands ready to spend
$4,000, 900 on work which will be COM
pleted in 19lS-1919
When the Suez canal was first opened
in 1859 the width was ~ feet and the
permissible draft of ships passing through
was 24.4 feet. Dredging has gone on
steadily In 1890 ships of "a draft could
60 through, and for the past twentyfour
years the increase has been at the rate
of one foot every six years. Today ships
of twenty -nine-foot draft can pass through
with little difficulty.
From now on, however, the dirt will
fly so fast that the old waterway wont
know itself. For instance, at present the
width of the canal for eighty-tive miles
is AT feet and inches, and 32S feet
for the remaining twenty miles But when
the improvements now contemplated are
finished four or five years hence the canal
will be forty feet deep, and thus for its
entire length of 1O5 miles it will be deeper
than any sea port in the far east except
Sydney. At no point will the width be
less than 1916 feet inches.
To do this work twenty-four powerful
dredges will be used. having $4,000 horse
power. and extracting 5000 cubic
meters of dirt an hour. Some of the
dredges will work at a depth Of fifty
feet In connection with the Suez en-
largements the west breakwater at Port
Said is being extended by 200 yards at
an expenditure of 100000.

SENATE MAY TAKE UP
TRUST LEGISLATION FIRST
Chairman New1ands Believes Gen
eral Debate on Measure Will
Not Be Prolonged.

Discussion q trust legislation may
begin in the Senate before 1t IL under
taken in the House, according to mem
bers OF the Senate interstate commerce
subcommittee, which resumed work to-
day on the antitrust legislative program.
Senator Newlands. chairman of the COM
mittee, said that it might be that the
Senate bill would be ready before the
House had an opportunity to take up
the various bills pending in that body.
1.-The Senate trust legislation will be
embodied in one bill including provision
for trade commission. regulation of
holding companies and interlocking d.
rectorates and all other supplemental fea-
lures that the committee will deem es-
sential to the conditions said Senator
Newlands. To-day the subcommittee con-
tinued Its consideration of the provisions
to be incorporated In the bill which would
prohibit certain forms of holding com
panies. We believe that general debate
on the bill will not be prolonged in the
Senate, as the matter will be thoroughly
considered by the committee and dis
cussed with senators before the general
debate begins

LIGHT TO WARN MARINERS.
Located on Outer End Of Old Wharf
at Fort Hunt,

A fixed white light Of about thirty
eandlepower has been placed on the
outer end Of the old wharf at Fort Hunt
on the Virginia side of the Potomac,
about fifteen miles down the river, as a
warning to vessels passing up and down
the river at night The light is located
on a post about twelve feet above the
surface Of the water and is supplied by
electric current from Fort Hunt. 1t Is
looked after by the army authorities. The
old Fort Hunt wharf, which extends out
to deep water, was a serious menace q
vessels bound up the river as the bright
light at Fort Washington half blinds the
man at the wheel of the vessel, and in
the past year there have been several
close calls from serious accidents, the
vessels missing the old piles by but a
few feet. It is said that II red light
was placed on the end Of the wharf, SO
that it could be more readily distinguished
from the Fort Washington and shore
lights, it would be of much greater value
to shipping.
