The canal shortens by 20 miles the
shipping distance between the ports to

including a cut through sand and
boulders from Buzzards Bay TO Sand
witch, Mass. It has a bottom 100 feet
in width. shelving out to 800 and 400
feet at the passing points, and has
a draught OF Is feet at low tide.
Greater in its dimensions than the
Suez canal as originally constructed,
II can accommodate the largest coast
wise vessels afloat, with one or two
exceptions
At the eastern end is a massive
breakwater 5000 feet long, which con-
tains more than $50. 900 tons Of granite.
This is designed to protect vessels
using the canal from the storms that
sweep across Cape Cod bay.
The S12,00O,000 which has been ex-
pended in the constructing Of the canal
has been spent largely in eXcavating
some 100000 cubic feet Of sand and

of the various states and present their

after showing that the applicants are

presented consisted of an order for

by Senator Shiveley, acting chairman
of the foreign relations committee.
The amendment of Senator Chamber
lain again was offered and rejected
without a roll call. Other amendments
were then proposed, one of them refer
ring only to the question of Panama
tolls. This, too, was rejected after
prolonged debate.
Champions of arbitration as an interna-
tionaI principle and leaders in the Dem
ocratic ranks expressed qualification at
the result and many of them saw in it an
indication that the desire of the President
for repeal of the tolls provision of the
canal act would be met without difficulty
after the treaty notifications have been
executed.
President Wilson let it be known today
that he is for absolute repeal of the tolls
provisions. that there can be no compro-
mise in the situation in order that it may
be signalled to the world that the United
States will stand firmly by is interna-
tional obligations.
The proposal from members of the
House that domestic commerce of all ma
was made clear would not be acceptable
to the administration. Information had
reached the President which gave him
confidence that a repeal provision would
pass both houses of Congress and the
action in the Senate today served only
to increase that confidence so far as the
upper house was concerned.
In the House the President has found
leader to carry on the fight for the re-
peal in Rep. Claud Kitchen of North Car
olina, ranking member OF the ways and
means committee, who recently has con-
ferred at the White House on the sub
ject. Majority Leader Underwood, who
does not agree that the exemption con-
stitutes a violation of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, has assured the President
that he will organize no opposition to re-
peal of the exemption.

The Test of Strength.

The supreme test of strength in the
treaty controversy came on an amend
ment to the Spanish treaty urged by
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, which
would withhold from arbitration such
important international issues as i'm
migration, the question of admitting
aliens to domestic schools; affairs in
volving the Monroe doctrine and the
provision of the Panama canal act ex-
empting American coastwise shipping
from tolls. This amendment was re-
jected by vote of Is to 10, more than
two-thirds majority. This result was
regarded by administration leaders to-
night as marking the end of the con-
tronversy over the governments for
eign policy. and assuring the ratifica-
ton of the treaties which expired
more than a year ago with Great Brit
ain, Japan, Italy, Spain, Norway,
Sweden, Portugal and Switzerland.
After the vote had been taken ii was
agreed that none of the treaties should
be put upon their ratification today,
but that amendments should be dis
cussed as applied to all of them. dis
position of the treaties to be deferred
until tomorrow. Tonight, after the
second day of protracted executive
session. it was announced that no
further amendments would be pressed
and that none had been adopted.

conceded even by leaders of the eppo-

Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British

In this case for the first time since

United States to Mexican factions to
protect all foreigners went unheeded,
though there is every evidence that
both the British ambassador and the
