CANAL TITLE NOT GOOD
HEPBURN SAYS KNQX IS LEARNING
AS MUCH IN PARIS.
Champion of Nicaragua Route Is Still
Confident Panama. Obstacles
Cannot Be Overcome.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept 12. Representative Hepburn,
the champion of the Nicaragua Canal in
the House, said today that Attorneys-General
Knox was learning in Paris what the
opponents of the Panama Canal scheme
knew. when they objected to the adoption
of that route that is, that It will be im
possible to maintain a title to the Pan
ama Canal. He declares that the law pro
vides for the purchase of the canal from
the new Panama Canal Company, and yet
It Is certain that the bid company, with
numerous French stockholders, have a
quota which must be settled.
The Colombian revolution Is another
thing- which will operate ngainst the Pan
ama Canal. If, It is successful, the new
government will appreciate everything
that has been done In the matter of a
treaty between Colombia and the United
States, and the general impression now
In that the revolution will be successful.
There is a possibility that the alternative
proposition In the canal legislation pro
viding for the building of a canal by the
Ntcaraguan route may become operative
through tho failure of the United States
to obtain actual title to tho Panama
Canal and route.
CUBAN LOAN NOT SATISFACTORY.
Administration Holds It Does Not
Conform to Piatt Amendment.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept 12. It Is generally under
stood that the Administration will take
some steps to Inform the Cuban Govern
ment that the proposed loan Is not satis
factory as regards the ability of the
Cuban revenues, according to the terms
of the Piatt amendment It looks now
as If the loan would surely pass, and If it
does, it Is probable that President Roose
velt ..will call the attention of Congress
to the matter in his annual message, as
It Is something which Congress should
deal with. It. will not become operative
until six months after the passage of the
law, and before that time the next Con
gress can pass upon the question of Its
validity as It relates to the Piatt amend
ment Financiers In the East who have
been Interviewed concerning the proposed
loan are of the opinion that It cannot be
floated. The Journal of Commerce, of
New York, Is authority for the statement
that the leading banks will not take this
loan- and do not believe that It can be
floated.
BEET SUGAR NOT "WHOLE THING.
Pointed Comment of "Washington
Star on Utah Convention.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Sept. 12. The Washington . Star,
In commenting upon the refusal of the
Utah Republicans to Indorse reciprocity
with Cuba, yet unequivocally indorsing
President Roosevelt says:
The President in that, general lndornement.
carries everythlnjf heneeds. He means busi
ness in the Cuban matter, and an the plainly
indicated choice of the party tor the Presi
dential nomination In 1004. he will be a
stronger man next Winter than he was last
Winter. The beet-sugar interests cannot hope
again to control the ConsreMlocal situation.
Their pretensions are too -great; their purposes
are too selfish. Their selfishness is not of the
enlightened variety. In other words, the peo
ple of the country are not disposed to permit
beet sugar to be the whole thing. They are
not wishing for or aiming at Its destruction,
but thev are pretty well resolved that it shall
sot dictate National politics.
MASON FIGHTING REPUBLICANS.
Senator From Illinois Is Trying Hard
to Defeat Hopkins.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept 12. Whatever chances Sen
ator Mason, of Illinois, had to bo re
elected, seem to havo been dashed by a
circular issued by the state committee.
In which It asserts positively that Mason
has put himself outside of the Republi
can party because he made a compact
with the Democratic leaders to help elect
a Democratic United States Senator. This
is given as one of the reasons why Mason
Is not allowed to stump the state under
the auspices of the Republican committee,
it Is probable that Mason will do every
thing In his power to defeat Hopkins, even
If it should result in a vacancy or tho
election of a Democrat to the Senate, but
reports from Illinois Indicate that ho will
not be successful.

"TfVarruEi Touches."
London Dally News.
Th6 narte 61 "Shaftabury," glvari to
the projected series of lectures on the
houslnsr nuestlon. reminds
tfent that many years ago he heard the
crearneartea iari speak up6n tho sub
ject of the slums. Lord Shaftesbury
said that until the habits of the people
could be altered there -would always be
slums; and he supposed a state of things
In which all the slums had. as by the
wave of a magician's wand, been re
moved, while the drink traffic and drink
ing habits remained. In a year or less,
he continued, there would bo the slums
again, as bad as ever.
Lord Shaftesbury used to tell a true
story In this connection. He had looked
In at a poor dwelling, and had been
shocked to see it so very dirty. If. he
thought, the place were once made clean,
perhaps the occupants would try to keep
It so. He, therefore, asked permission
of the tenant to' hovo the room nlcely
done up. Leave was glverj. and the
work was executed, ceiling and walls be
ing left a spotless white. About a week
afterwards Lord Shaftesbury was pass
ing, and was amazed to see the walls
blacker than they had been before. He
expressed his surprise that so much dirt
could have come upon them In the time,
and the tenant, a good-humored irish
man, explained the matter thus: "Shure
we're much obliged to your lordship's
kindness, but the place had such a could
look, we thought we'd Just ask the sweep
to come In and give It a few warrum
touches."
