THE MOUSING OREGOXIAK, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1901
FOR BOTH ROUTES
Two Uncompleted Canal
Speeches in the Senate,
HANNA SPEAKS FOR PANAMA
Mitchell Urjces the Mcartgaa RoRte
as the Only Feasible and Practi
cal One Jfo Danger From
Earthquakes.
In further .consideration of the Isth
mian canal project, the Senate heard
yesterday two epeechea, neither of
which was completed. Hanna spoke
la favor of the Spooner amendment,
conferring on the President authority
to purchase the rights of the Panama
Canal Company If a title could be ob
tained, otherwise he shall decide upon
the Nicaragua route. Mitchell ?unport
ed the Hepburn bill for the construc
tion of the canal by 'the Nicaragua
route.
Seldom has a Senator been accorded
a more attentive hearing than that
gWen to Hanna. The Panama route
he considered much to be preferred to
the Nicaragua route, as It provided a
waterway much shorter, and one that
could be traersed at less expense than
the Nicaragua route.
Mitchell urged that unices the Nica
ragua route is determined upon defi
nitely by Congress, It would mean the
indefinite postponement and perhaps ul
timate defeat of any canal legislation.
He insisted that the Nicaragua route is
entirely feasible and practicable, while
the Panama route lmolves difficulties
scarcely to be surmounted.

WASHINGTON, June 6 When the Sen
ate convened today to resume at 2 o'clock
the consideration of the Isthmian canal
bill, fi've large maps depleting various
phases of. the canal question were dis
played about the walls of the chamber.
Presumably these were to enable Hanna,
who was to speak upon the meas
ure, to illustrate his remarks. It waB
noticeable that on one of the maps all of
the volcanoes were marked, the active
"volcanoes being indicated in red and the
extinct in black. It was a very unusual
thing for such diagrams to be displayed
in the Senate, and they attracted much
attention.
At the conclusion of routine business n.
bill to redlvide the District of Alaska into
three recording and judicial divisions was
passed.
Consideration was then resumed of
the Military Academy appropriation bill.
Bate, continuing his objection begun
yesterday to the large amount pro
vided by the measure for Improvements
at West Point, moved to amend by strik
ing from the bill all propositions relating
to the proposed Improvements at West
Point, involving an expenditure ultimately
of $6,503,000.
Warren, In charge of the bill,
explained that the Improvements were ab
solutely necessary, many of the buildings
constituting the academy having been in
use since 1816. They were unsanitary, un
comfortable and Inconvenient.
Harris opposed Bate's amendment, and
expressed the wish that there were SOW
cadets at West Point. Those not needed
in the Army, he said, should return to
civil life. They could form a fine reserve
force to be on call for the defense of the
Nation. Bate's amendment was rejected
and the bill passed.
A bill to ratify an agreement with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians was
, passed, also an act providing for free
homesteads In the Ute Indian reservation
in Colorado.
Hanna Spoke for Panama,
At 2 o'clock the isthmian canal bill
was taken up, Hanna. member of the in
teroccanlc canal committee, addressing the
Senate in support of the Spooner amend
ment, providing that the President shall
have authority to determine upon the
Panama route, provided he can get a clear
tlt!e to the Panama Canal Companies
concessions and property; otherwise he
shall decide upon the Nicaragua route.
The Ohio Senator said the American peo
ple, having become accustomed to the
rapid transit of the railroads, now de
mand quicker transportation on the bcos.
The experimental stage has been passed,
and the question now presented is that
of the best route by which the canal is
to be constructed. Hanna said he had
shared at first in the common belief that
the Nicaragua route was the only one to
be considered. The United States had
been deterred from embarking on that
project, and in the light of events, the
fates seemed to him to have interfered
to prevent us from making a mistake.
The Panama route Is only 49 miles long,
while that of Nicaragua is 183 miles In
length. "You build your canal," said he.
"to provide for tho passage of ships from
ocean to ocean la the least possible time
and at the least expense."
A canal constructed on such lines, ha
said, meant success. He said he was look
ing to the proposition for its commercial
advantages as well as Its advantages as a
means of defense. "We are to build this
canal for the world," he said. "We agree
to build a canal for the commerce of the
world, and we must take Into account the
business attracted to it from the world."
By stubborn facts and by the findings of
the best engineers in the country he "had
been compelled to change his views, which
originally had been in favor of the Nica
ragua route.
Hanna referred to the seismic disturb
ances In the canal region, and suggested
that those disturbances ought to cause the
American Congress to pause and to con
sider the suggested dangers seriously. He
maintained that the cost of the Nicaragua
Canal would be Immensely greater in point
of construction and operation than the
Panama Canal, and said he was prepared
to demonstrate that the Nicaragua Canal
could not be operated at night. Hanna
said that In many respects the same con
ditions applied to both tho Nicaragua and
Panama routes.
Discussing the Spooner substitute, he
denied emphatically that it was a subter
fuge Intended to delay and procrastinate.
He explained that If the President were
not satisfied with the Panama Canal
Company's title, he could proceed to build
the canal by the Nicaragua route, pro
vided that all conditions and concessions
were satisfactory. It was understood, of
course, that the United States did not pro
pose to go ahead with the canal project
except with a clean sheet. By either route
he believed the canal would be a power for
the peace of the world, and he had no
fear of any interference with the United
States or any of its citizens engaged in
the canal construction by any foreign
power.
Hanna, after speaking an hour and a
quarter, pleaded fatigue, and. Saying he
would continue tomorrow, yielded the
floor to Mitchell, another member of the
interoceanlc canal committee.
Mitchell for Nicaragua.
The Oregon Senator declared that the
construction of the canal w,as demanded
by the American people in a tone that
could not be misunderstood. He asserted
that unless the Hepburn bill were ac
cepted it would mean the indefinite post
ponement of any canal legislation, and
the possible defeat of the canal project.
He maintained that the Nicaragua route
Is absolutely feasible and practicable.
Mitchell said that if shippers could send
their products from the Pacific Coast to
Europe by way of an isthmian canal, sail
ing -vessels would be employed where now
only steamers are used, thus reducing
enormouRly the freight rates now' paid by
the Pacific Coast. He maintained that
sailing vessels could not go through the
Panama Canal without the assistance of
steam or electricity, on account of the
calms.
Mitchell declared the authorities Indi
cated that the danger from earthquakes
was 1C0 per cent greater in the region of
the Panama route than in that of the
Nicaragua route. In neither case, how
ever, was the danger sufficient to render
hazardous the construction of the canal.
The Senate at 5 o'clook went into execu
tive session, and soon afterward adjourned.
WILL VOTE OX IT TODAY.
House Will Close Debate on Anti
Anarchy Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 5. The general de
bate on the anti-anarchy bill was ended
today, except for two speeches which will
be made tomorrow. Llttlcflcld (Rep. Me.)
will make the closing argument In sup
port of the measure. The debate today,
like that of yesterday, was devoted to
legal arguments, the speakers being Sibley
(Rep. Pa.), De Armond (Dera. Mo.), Will
lams (Dem. Miss.), Wooten (Dem. Tex.),
McDermott (Dem. N. J.), Loud (Rep. CaL),
Crumpacker (Rep. Ind.), Maddox (Dem.
Ga.), Ball (Dem. Tex.) and Clark (Dem.
Mo.).
Sibley, the first speaker, earnestly fa
vored the passage of the bill. Ho said:
"When loving hands consigned to
mother earth the mortal remains of Wil
liam McKinley, that sense of justice
which la so predominant In American
character demonstrated In unmistakable
terms that there should be made the clear
and distinct declaration that those who
plotted treason to the Government and
advocated murder of rulers should find a
land enriched by the blood of patriots
and martyrs too small to hold those who
should conspire for Its overthrow.
"The patriotism of our Nation believed
that almost the first act of the American
Congress would be so to legislate that in
the future, neither a Johan Most nor an
Emma Goldman, the responsible authors
of such crimes, could escape punishment.
Notwithstanding the fact that the first
recommendation made by the President in
his annual message to Congress dealt
with the subject, six months have rolled
around, and for the first time It is a
topic of discussion in this body."
In closing, he paid:
"In the strength of our purpose, and en
dowed with the courage of our convictions
we will send to anarchy and all her brood
the message that Garfield once delivered,
when upon the death of Lincoln this Na
tion was plunged in panic and despair:
'God reigns and the Gov ernment at Wash
ington still lives. "
Sibley wao warmly applauded when he
concluded.
Loud (Cal.) opposed the bill. The legis
lation was unnecessary, he declared. No
assassin of a President had ever escaped
the death penalty, and none ever would.
Loud referred to the Intemperate criti
cism of the President sometimes indulged
In by public men in Congress, and by
the press, which tended to Influence the
public mind, and said that this was one
of the lessons to be learned from the as
sassination of the lato President which
public men should take home to them
selves. Wooten also questioned the wisdom of
the bill.
De Armond, the ranking minority mem
ber of the judicial committee, defended
most of the features of the bill that had
been attacked. But he believed the 13th
section of the bill was unconstitutional,
and the section designed to protect foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers should be
stricken out. Williams supported the bllL
Grow advocated the passage of the bill.
The killing of the President, he said,
should be stamped as the greatest crime
on the statute-books.
Crumpacker contended that Congress had
the power, and should exercise It, to make
the slaying of the President a capital of
fense, without qualification or limitation.
Clark declared that tho expeditious trial
of Czolgosz at Buffalo was an honor to
the jurisprudence of New York, while
that of Guiteau In Washington was a dis
grace to the District of Columbia.
After some further remarks by Ball.
McDermott and Maddox, it was agreed
that general debate should close tomorrow
at 3 o'clock.
At 3:45 o'clock the House adjourned.
CUBAX SUGAR. ESTATES.
Corporations That Hare Filed. "War
Claims Asratnst Government.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Truman. G.
Palmer, of Chicago, was a witness today
before the Senate committee on Cuban
relations. For the past four years Mr.
Palmer has been engaged In the- promo
tion of beet-sugar Interests. He gave a
list of 17 American corporations which,
he said, have 5SS.777 acres In sugar-producing
lands In Cuba, with an annual ca
pacity of 255,425 tons. Of these 17 compa
nies, 10 have on file war claims against
the Government of the United States ag
gregating $9,655,974. Mr. Palmer said he
had secured the facts upon which this
statement Is based from the official rec
ords of the Spanish Claims Commission,
and from statements made by witnesses
before the Senate committee and the
House committee on ways and means.
Mr. Palmer also presented a list of es
tates owned by individuals who are citi
zens of the United States, but most of
whom are either of Cuban or American
birth. This list Included 41 estates of S66,
786 acres, with an average sugar produc
tion of 394,405 tons. Of these 41 estates,
35 filed war claims against the Govern
ment of the United States aggregating
$13,646,544. Mr. Palmer deduced from the
figures given In this connection that only
30 per cent of the product was supplied
by the fanners who do not own their own
factories.
When Senator Piatt asked what had in
duced the witness to manifest so great an
Interest in the legislation proposed, he re
plied: "Because I believe that If this
tariff reduction legislation fails, I shall
have no difficulty In securing the means
of building' at least one beet-sugar fac
tory a year."
THE CALIFORNIA SENATORS.
Hanna Trying? to "Win Them Over to
the Panama Project.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5. President
Netvhall, of the Chamber of Commerce,
has received from Senator Hanna a tele
gram In which the latter says:
"As a member of tho isthmian canal
committee of the Senate, I am decidedly
in favor of the Panama route, which has
the unanimous support of the commis
sion appointed by the President, and as
a business proposition is the route which
wo should choose. I wish you would wire
your Senators here to join with me in
securing the passage of that bill. They
seem to be in doubt as to the sentiment
In California, and are among the very
few Republican Senators who have not
announced In favor of the Panama route.
You can trust my judgment in this mat
ter." President Newhall sent the following
telegram In reply:
"After a conference of the presidents -of
commercial bodies here, I am Instructed
to say the Pacific Coast wants an isth
mian canal. Regret question should arise
regarding route. Commercial bodies of
this city always advocated Nicaragua
route. Refer the matter to our Senators
and Representatives, who are thoroughly
conversant with the subject."
Adverse Reports on Marine Bills.
WASHINGTON, Juno 5. The House
committee on merchant marine today di
rected adverse reports on bills giving sail
ing masters a lien for wages similar to
the lien of seamen, -and allowing jury
trials to pilots, masters and engineers for
offenses involving a withdrawal of license.

JUDGETAFTAiNDTHEPOPE
PHILIPPINE GOVERNOR FOR3IALLY
RECEIVED AT THE VATICAN.
Explanation of the Questions In the
Islands That Require Settlement
Committee of Cardinals to Decide.
ROME, June 5. The pope today re
ceived Judge Taft, civil governor of the
Philippines; Bishop Thomas O'Gorman, of
Sioux Falls, S. D.; Judge Smith, and
Major Porter, of the Judge-Advocate's
Department at Washington. Judge Taft
presented to his holiness a letter from
President Roosevelt, and a box containing
President Roosevelt's literary works. Tho
pope expressed his thanks for Mr. Roose
velt's friendly greetings, promised to
study the different Philippine questions
and said he hoped for good results. The
pontiff also asked Judge Taft to thank
President Roosevelt for his gift. The au
dience lasted 40 minutes.
While talking with the pope. Governor
Taft briefly reviewed the questions In
the Philippines which require settlement.
He pointed out to his holiness that the
readjustment of tho relations of church
ond state In the Islands was not an In
dication of hostility of the United States
to the Catholic church, but declared that
such a readjustment was merely a. ne
cessity under the American Constitution.
Governor Taft referred to the prosperity
and freedom of the Roman Catholic
church in the United States and cited
these conditions as an assurance that tho
Vatican had nothing to fear from the
extension of the authority of the United
States over the Philippine Islands. Re
plying to Judge Taft, the pontiff ex
pressed the greatest pride in the Roman
Catholic church in the United States and
intense Interest In the great Republic
He said he earnestly desired to help the
American Administration of the Philip
pines in every possible way, and he as
sured Governor Taft that the Vatican
would approach all questions raised in
the broadest and most conciliatory spir
it. The pops said also that matters of
detail in connection with the questions
to b decided would be referred to a
committee of cardinals, where they would
be considered at length, and that all the
Issues would be treated with the sole aim
of reaching a settlement satisfactory to
ail parties concerned.
The pope appeared to be In excellent
health during his Interview with Gover
nor Taft. and was in a vivacious hu
mor. He referred pleasantly to Arch
bishop Ireland in what he had to say
concerning the Roman Catholic church In
the United States.
JudgeN Taft subsequently met Cardinal
Rampolla, the papal secretary of state,
and opened the discussion of Philippine
matters.
AID FOR AMERICAN TRANSPQRTS.
Subtttltntc for Jones' BUI Reported
by House Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 5. A bill designed
to give American built ships on the Pa
cific the tiansportatlon of Government
supplies to the Philippines, when tho
transportation servico Is not adequate,
was reported favorably from the House
committee on military affairs today. It
Is a substitute for a bill Introduced by
Representative Jones, of Washington, and
gives authority for the acceptance of bids
by American-built ships at a rate not
exceeding 10 per cent above tho bid of
the foreign-built ships.
In making the report, Mr. Stevens, of
Minnesota, stated that the bulk of trans
portation to the Philippines, when the
Government has shipped In private ves
sels, has been in forelgn-bullt ships, the
amount paid In 1901 to foreign-built ships
being 33,520.000, and to American-built
ships, 31,003,000. The reports say there
seems to be an abundance of American
tonnage to Insure competition and to de
velop direct communication with our pos
sessions. Secretary Root gave hearty
approval to the measure.
Philippine Bill in House.
.WASHINGTON, June 5. The Philippine
government bill Is to be token up in the
House one week from next Wednesday,
arrangements to that effect having been
made today by Chairman Cooper with
Speaker Henderson and the committee on
rules. The debate will last about a week.

Spanish boy at Clenfuegos and of the
threats against the lives of wealthy Span
lards If a certain amounl of money is
not paid, says a dispatch to the Tribune
from Havana. While no American has
been threatened, his interest in the sltua-
te.
srt
-
tlon is because of the responsibility for
life and property assumed by the United
States under the Piatt amendment.
President Palma has taken prompt

perpetrators of the murder. He has made
It clear that he will do all in his power
to suppress lawlessness.

BROADSIDE LAUNCHING S.
The System in the Great Lakes Dif
ferent From Other Shipyards.
Chicago American.
Recent ship launchlngs at the yards on
the Great Lakes and at Richmond, Va.,
have been attracting the Interest of ship
builders throughout the United Etates and
abroad.
Fro.ni these yards the vessels take their
maiden dip by means of a side-vise launch
ing, a feat not attempted anywhere out
side of America, but which Is done here
with great ouccess.
The shipyards of the William Trigg
Company, at Richmond. Va., where the
torpedo-boats Shubrlck. Stockton and
Thornton and the torpedo-boat destroyers
Dale and Decatur were all built for the
United States Government, employs this
broadside launching method and they slip
their vessels into the narrowN strip of
water in front of the yards without a
hitch or hindrance.
At Richmond it is necessary to launch
into a canal 100 feet In width and not
exceeding 18 feet in depth; It would be
Impossible to launch a vessel In such a
narrow strip of water In the regulation
manner, consequently the broadside meth
od was adopted.
Broadside launchlngs have long been
the rule at the shipyards on the Great
Lakes, but It Is only recently that the
system has been established In shipyards
on the Atlantic Coast.
The eide launchlngs of steel vessels of
large dimensions Is not claimed to have
any advantages over the usual method
pi getting a new hull Into the water, but
the adoption of the new mode has been
dictated by the limitations of the depths
and areas of the waterways which have
been available for launchlngs at ship
yards where the method, has been adopted.
The methods employed at the yards
where broadside launchlngs are In order
differ materially from those where wide
river fronts or ocean extent permit of a
'craft being started on a career end first.
The chief point of difference Is in the
ways. These are, of course, dissimilar
in many respects to those employed in
ordinary end-on launches'.
In the first place the groundways for
use In an endwise launch must necessar
ily exceed to some extent the extreme
length of the vessel, whereas In the case
of a side launch the groundways may not
represent 5 per cent of the length of the
vessel which travels over them. For
launching a 50 foot vessel broadside
groundways of 20 or 25 feet at most prove
sufficient.
The launching plan as evolved at the
Southern shipyards presents some modi
fications of that followed at the ship
building establishments along the north,
ern border of the country.
For Instance, Instead of the groundways
ending at the water's edge, as they do In
lake shipyards, those at Richmond for
the torpedo crafts were carried down well
under the water, and the boats were thus
entirely water-borne before leaving the
ways.
This, the builders state, saved a con
siderable strain on the hulls during the
launching.
The plan followed on the great lakes is
to so gauge these groundways' that the
ends, carefully rounded, will Just reach
the water's edge. The natural result is
Turning Gray?
Why hot have the early,
dark, rich color restored?
It's easily done with Oyer's
Hair Vigor, Nearly every
body uses it. Ask your own
friends. Probably they know
how it always restores color,
checks falling, and keeps the
hair rich and glossy.
" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor and
have found it a great remedy. It
checked the falling of my hair when
all other remedies had failed." Mrs.
G. A. Morrison, Mlllinocket, Me.
il.W. Andantes J. C. AVER CO.. Lowell, Msec.
that It Is necessary for the vessel being
launched to literally drop from the end
of those ways Into the water. The vessel
Is certain to turn slightly on her bilge as
she travels down the way3, and the im
petus of the plunge from them adds to the
force with which the great hull careens. .
Very frequently the ship would go over
on her beam ends "turn turtle," as tho
marine men say were It not for the
heavy checking lines which extend from
shore to the stem and stern of the boat.
The sudden Impact of so large a craft
In a shallow body of water causes the
tldal-llke wtwe which Is raised by the
vessel, and which forms one of the pic
turesque features of a broadside launch
ing. A unique feature In connection with the
launchlngs at Richmond Is In the method
employed in gradually lowering two of the
vessels distances of 30 and 32 feet respec
tively to positions formerly occupied by
other vessels, in order that the launching
process proper may not present a neces
sity for so great a. distance of travel to
the water.
This Is accomplished by means of eight
ton screw-jacks, of which two are provid
ed fdr each cradle. The position of the
Jacks Is so arranged that one Is alwsvs
about one foot In advance of the other,
and after one set of jacks has been
backed down as far as possible, the ves
sel Is held In place by the sustaining
Jack3, while those whose limit of Imme
diate usefulness has been reached are re
moved. After these jacks have been replaced at
a point nearer the edge of the water, the
lowering process Is resumed until It be
comes necessary to shift other Jacks, and
so on, until the vessel has reached the
point where it Is possible for her to be
slipped Into the water.
In some Instances difficulty has been
experienced In starting the vessels, and
It has been necessary to use rams, but
this Is exceptional, having occurred only
once at Richmond.
The manner of wedging up the vessel
and removing the blocking preparatory
to launching differs but slightly from tho
practice In vogue at the yards where the
end-on launchlngs are used ex5luslvely.
There appears to be almost no limit to
the slzo of a vessel which may be suc
cessfully launched broadside. Vessels
ranging from 100 to 500 feet In length have
been placed In the water In this manner,
and the big ocean liner courtesies as
gracefully sldewlse as does a natty little
torpedo boat.
Plended Guilty to Larceny.
SALEM, June 5. District Attorney J.
N. Hart today filed criminal Informations
against Ralph Bland and George Kloontz,
charging them with larceny. They are
the men who entered the Southern Pa
cific station at Turner, one night last
Winter, and stole two tickets to San
Francisco. Some Irregularity In the
stamping of the tickets led to their ar
rest and detention at Ashland until the
case could be Investigated, when the men
were returned to Salem and held to
the Circuit Court. The men were ar
raigned before Judge Burnett this after
noon, and both pleaded guilty. Sentence
will be pronounced at 9 A. M. tomorrow.
Transporting: Pnuncefote's Remains.
WASHINGTON. June 5. It Is expected
that Lady Pauncefote and the Honorablo
