Washington. Jsn. 21. Colonel Goe- thsls, chairman of the Isthmian Canal commission, today resumed bis testi mony before the senste canal commis- ion. He detailed the structure of the various dams and locks, giving it ss bis opinion that all ol them, especially the big project at Gatun, were going to be absolutely safe and capable of use in passing the largest vessel in the world through the canal. Colonel Goethals said that he con sidered 110 feets sufficient width for the canal locks. "If we made them much wider that thst," he said, "it would practically call lor a widening of all the drjdocks of the world. We will be sble to accommodate ships of 108 feet beam in the cansl. I doubt if the beam of ships will ever be greater than tbst" A proposition to work both nigbt and day on certain parts of the canal is under consideration by the commis sion, according to Colonel Goethals. The bearings - will be resumed on Wednesday next. MAY SKIP BUENOS AYRES TRIP Probsb Torpedo Flotilla Will Go Direct From Rio. Washington, Jan. 20.

According to the original plan, the flotilla was to proceed from Rio Janeiro to Montevideo. Now. however, as the flotilla is said to bo three days behind its iUnearry, it is probable that Uie entire cruise up tho River Flstte will be cut but and with out stopping st either Montevideo or Buenos Ayres the little vessels will try to Disks the run from Rio Janeiro to Randy Point, in the straits of Magellan. The torpedo boats will thus be givon athorough test of their ability to make a long distance rim and will also be able to catub up with their schedule and accompany Uie battleships In th psassge of the straits of Magellan, a .wiw.iui.4hw, v;i,.x,i land.
