In Africa, on charges OF neresy and
schism arising out of their action at
Kikuyukf, East Africa, last June.
An attempt was then made to unite all
Protestant denominations against the in
creasing power of the Roman Catholics
in East Africa and general communion
service was held.
The matter Is to be referred to the con-
sulative body of bishops of the Church
of England, which meets In July. The
bishops will then be asked to decide
whether the scheme for federation of
Protestant missionary societies proposed
at I<ikuyukf contravenes the principles
of the church order, and whether the
holy communion service, which closed
the conference, at which many of the
communicates were not members of the
Church of England, was consistent with
the principles of the Church of England.

consequence of his recent visit to Panama
and his study of present and prospective

of the canal, Mr.. r. II. Edmonds, in a
communication to the Manufacturers

that, in addition TO warships. vessels
which are commerce bearers pure and
simple participate in the opening celebra-

Mr.. Edmonds makes the suggestion be-
cause while he realizes what the strate-
sic Importance of the canal is to be in
case the United States should find it
necessary to protect the Pacific coast and
also the West Indies nevertheless an
even greater importance due to the build

canal is to be a very great commerce
bearer and in time may be the greatest
artificiay waterway capable of floating
large vessels anywhere in the world. II
the nations of the earth are therefore in
vited to send representative vessels of
their steamship companies to make pro-
cessional exhibition, that would tend to
show that the chief Importance of the
canal Is to be commercial An exhibition
of the representative vessels of great

the canal would be likely to considerably
affect the worlds trade.
The opening of the canal to navigation
nobody knows better than Colonel Goe-
thals, whose nomination as governor of

greatest commercial activities of the
world, even greater than those which
are represented by the navigation of the

Forecasting the Future
Many men of long experience and good
intelligence have been unable to share the
enthusiasm with which, for instance,
President Roosevelt spoke of the CONNER
cial value not only tc the United States,
cation of a ship canal connecting the At
lantic and the Pacific at the Panama re-
gion. Some of the statesmen of Great
Britain have predicted that the people of
the United States will be disappointed
not living long enough to see the reallza-
tion of what they have expected the
Panama canal would accomplish CONNER
cially.
That was not the case however, with
James Bryce, for after his sojourn in
South America he supplemented the in
formation he there obtained with his
profound knowledge of conditions in the
United States and the natural resources
of this country so that he was able to
forecast a great commercial phenome-
non-perhaps the greatest the world has
