12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1903. WORK OF RAILROADS General Opinion on Rejection of Panama Treaty. NOW TRY NICARAGUA ROUTE Action of Colombian Senate De-aosBced-Senator Mitchell De clare!. Adoption of Panama Route a Great Blander. The belief Is -widespread in "Portland that the defeat of the Panama canal in the Colombian Senate is really a victory for the Interests that have all along been fighting any interoceanlc canaL Those interests succeeded In diverting the gov ernment more than a year ago from the Nicaragua route. Now they have suc ceeded in knocking out the- Hay-Herran treaty, -whereby Colombia was to grant concessions of land for the Panama canal. "The railroads couldn't stop the canal at Washington." said a prominent mem ber of the Chamber of Commerce yester day, "so they went to Colombia. There's not so many of "cm down there," re ferring to persons who take subsidies, "to keep up opposition, and It may be that they don't come so high. But I don't think that the refusal of the Colombian Senate will keep the ditch, from going across the Isthmus." "What Uncle Sam ought to do," ex claimed an emphatic gentleman, "is to fiend a warship or two down to Colombia and smash the country to smithereens." "The Idea of a little mongrel, greaser, half-breed country holding tip the com merce of the world Is absurd," declared another citizen. "It shouldn't be toler ated a minute." "The Colombians are not capable of self-government," asserted the next citi zen who Move in sight, "and don't know what s good for 'cm. They have a thun der storm and a revolution every alter nate day. Treaties with them are no bet ter than treaties with Indians. What's the use of trying to do with diplomacy what could be done at the back door with a four-bit pieceT" Work of the Rallroadn. A number of citizens, in fact nearly all who were interviewed, declared that they preferred the Nicaragua route. "We were surprised" was their common remark "when the Government took up the Pan ama project- But we can see through a millstone with a hole In It. The persons who don't want any canal pulled the Government away from Nicaragua, and the result is that more than a year has been wasted in fruitless endeavor to make a treaty with a crotchety Central Amer ican republic" Some time ago the railroads announced that they would not maintain a lobby with the Colombian Senate because of the extreme cost thereof. It Is widely sus pected that that body was so "fixed" that it didn't need a lobby. The desire to "hold up" the United States for better terms was also encouraged by the ene mies of the canal as a means of delaying the project. Unck to XlcnrnRua Iloate. The fate of the treaty with Colombia is expected to brace up Nicaragua and Coma Rica In their demands. President Roosevelt, if unable to reach an agree ment with Colombia, is empowered to make treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In negotiating with Colombia the Pres ident is required to secure at reasonable terms a strip of land six miles wide across the republic from tho Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The cession must convey the right to construct and operate a canal on the land, to operate the Panama railroad and to make police and sanitary regulations. To the Panama Canal Company he is authorized to pay not more than f40.O00.OCX) for all the prop erties and rights of the company. Mitchell Fliclit for McnruKoa. Senator Mitchell is a member of the Senate Interoceanlc Canal Committee, which consists of 11 members and whose chairman is Senator Morgan, of Alabama. Senator Mitchell has striven for an Isth mian canal for a long time. Up to 1S9S the canal In tho Senate was In the hands of the committee on international rela tions. A small minority of the commit tee, led by Cushman K. Davis, several times had succeeded In holding back tho canal so long that It got snowed under at the end of the session. In 1B93 Senator Mitchell secured the appointment of a special committee to look after the canaL In 1902, when the present canal enact ment was passed. Senator Morgan and Senator Mitchell were foremost oh the floor in advocacy of tho measure. Sena tor Hanna was chief of the opposition. Senator Mitchell said yesterday: "The shrewd more for tho President Is now to build the canal by the Nicaragua route. He is empowered to do this by law. In case negotiations for the Panama route fall, the law directs him to resort to the other. And now that's Just what the negoltlations have done; they've failed." "Did you expect them to turn out as they havo done?" "No; I did not. I really thought that the canal would be constructed at Pana ma. But now that the Colombian govern ment has frustrated tho good purposes of our Administration, the President might do well to summon, up his independent spirit and go back to the other route. Ho can turn to the Nicaragua route and build tho canal, and there won't be any more dallying. He could have done so more than a year ago, but the law re quired him to negotiate with Colombia. Blunder of the Century. "Congress committed an act of folloy when it turned from Nicaragua to Pan ama. Some time ago I said the action was the blunder of tho century. But now that It does not seem likely that the canal will b built at Panama, perhaps I should amend "blunder of the century to simple blunder. "It does look Indeed as If, our Govern ment Is now Just where It was more than a year ago, with nothing more accom plished for the canal than there was then. I believe that Nicaragua and Costa Rica will be more reasonable than was Colombia, and that they will not attempt to hold up our Government as Colombia has attempted to do." "Thon you still believe the Nicaragua route the better?" Objections to Panama Ronte. "Decidedly yes. I could cite yoH many reasons for my opinion, but perhaps a few will satisfy. In the first place, It would cost 1.0CO.O00 lives at Panama, for the country recks with plague. In the next place, on the Pacific side, for 400 or GO) miles westward. Is an area well kaown to mariners for Its calms. Now, we on this Coast are Interested in sailing ves sels. But our cargoes In sailing by the Panama route would suffer long delays, unless they were transported In steam vessels. In the third place, the whole Panama project rests upon the feasibility of building a dam at Chagres River. I need not say that the construction of this dam would be a stupendous Job. unpre cedented In the achievements of engineer ing. Caissons would have to be sunk ICS feet. The greatest depth to which they have been sank heretofore is 112 feet at the east end of St. Louis bridge. If this dam should prove a failure, the whole Panama project would come to naught. "None of these three objections can be urged against the Nicaragua route, nor any equally formidable "I havo given this matter extensive ia- vestigatlon and careful reflection- It Is ray mature Judgment that our Govern ment erred In preferring Panama. In ad dition to the physical disadvantages of the Panama route. I might say that this Government could never acquire a clear title from the company now building the canal. The French bondholders and stockholders -would give endless trouble." BREWERS MAY COMBINE. Greater Sew Yorlc Plants Tire of Keen Competition. NEW YORK. Aug. IS. Many recent conferences among brewers of Greater New York have given rise to a belief that a combination of all brewing inter ests is about to be formed. The imme diate result of the consolidation would be to close several of tho smaller breweries. There are about of these in Brooklyn alone. Another result would be the es tablishment of certain standard grades of beer and wines, which would be sold at uniform prices In all saloons. Brewers have been complaining that the keen competition In their business has been almost ruinous. There is hard ly a brewery in New York that Is turn ing out Its full capacity. "Besides overcompetltlon," one brewer said, "the present excise law has cut down the business of all of us. About half the breweries today are having a hard struggle to exist." DENIES IT IS IXSOr,VEXT. Pennsylvania Iron Company Files Its Answer in Suit in Equity. LANCASTER, Pa., Aug. 19. Tho an swer to the bill in equity filed here on last Thursday against the Susquehanna Iron & Steel Company was recorded to day. It denies that a large portion of the company's merchandise and quick assets are shown by tho treasurer's re port to be pledged to secure bills payable and accounts amounting to $277,004, but admits that since the report was made a loan has been secured and some of the company's manufactured product and quick assets pledged as collateral, but as serts that those transactions do not later fere with its business. It is stated that since its incorporation in 1839 the company has paid dividends amounting to 3155,000, and at no time passed a dividend except for the six months ending June 30 last, which was due to strike conditions and the repudiation of contracts. The busi ness for the year amounted to J2.000.000. with a deficit of only $16,000 under adverse circumstances. In admitting the depreca tion of the stock from IS to $1.07 per share.

BANDITS WILL GIVE UP. Nctv A'iceroy Is Fniit Rentorlnf? Order lu Kirang Si. NEW YORK, Aug. 19. At the request of Viceroy Shen, the Yang-tse Viceroys recently sent a considerable body of troops to assist In restoring order at Kwang Si, says a Pekln dispatch to the Times, by way of London. The adminis tration of Shen has been characterized by remarkable activity and thoroughness. He has followed up the removal of the Governor, Wang Chin Chun, and Marshal Su, by punishing and removing trom office many Incapable and dishonest offi cials. Information from trustworthy sources shows that the disturbances have not been caused by an anti-dynastic move ment, but have been due principally to large numbers of unpaid troops during Su's regime Joining the turbulent element of the population and organizing inde pendent bands, which preyed upon the trade of the province. Already there are signs that the Viceroy's vigorous policy is producing an effect. Bandit leaders have offered. In accordance with the usual Chinese oustom, to discuss ar rangements whereby their forces may take son-Ice under the imperial govern ment. Acting upon the Tao Tal's general In structions, tho magistrate of the Nan hu district, near Shanghai, has arrested four reformers from delivering public lec tures contrary to the orders of the gov ernment.

Schooner Prosper Chartered to Carry Lumber to Slaulln Work oa the Drydoclc The big German bark Nauarchos arrived up late yesterday afternoon and dropped anchor In the stream. Today she will find a berth at Greenwich dock, where she is to discharge. The bark brings an immense quantity of freight from Ham burg, measuring -HS0 long tons. The bulk of the cargo is cement, of which there are 22,500 barrels, the largest single shipment of cement ever brought here. There are also 425 tons of coke and a quantity of bar iron and paint. As was expected, the tow up the river was made without difficult'. The bark had lightered to 22 feet 6 Inches, which enabled her to pass the few shoal .spots In the lower river without difficulty. At Willow Bar the vessel had the honor of being the first to pass through the new straight channel Just made by the two Port of Portland dredges. There she had several feet of water to spare under her keel. Although this channel has been opened to shipping. It Is the Intention to double the width of it before moving the dredges. When the captain of the Nauarchos goes to the custom-house to enter his ship this morning he will have to-explain why he did not obtain clearance papers at the Astoria custom-house before he left "up. Extenuating circumstances are his Ignor ance of the law rather than a willful vio lation of It, and the fact that the skipper was somewhat upset by tho fouling of his anchors saortly before his departure. The last time a sailing vessel disregarded this customs rule It was subjected to a $505 fine, all but $50 of which was remitted. The Nauarchos comes consigned to Mey er, Wilson & Co.. and Is under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to take wheat and barley, October loading, to the United Kingdom. SANK IN NINETEEN MINUTES.

R. steamshlD Empress of India to his company, give brief details of tho collision occurring Monday night between that liner and the Chinese gunboat Huang Tal. as a result of which the warship went to the bottom, 19 minutes later, her cap. tain refusing to leave the bridge and go ing down with his ship, as did 13 members of the crew. -The Empress boats picked up 153 of the Huang Tal's crew and carried them to Hong Kong. The gunboat and the Cana dian passenger craft were both proceeding from Shanghai to Hong Kong on parallel courses. Suddenly, to the surprise of the Empress' officers, the gunboat went to starboard and crossed her bows. The Empress veered off as quickly as the tele graph could give orders to the engine room, but too late to prevent the warship striking her and badly wrecking her above the water line. Still trying to keep off, the propeller of the Empress struck the gunboat's hull, punching It like an eggshell and causing her to settle Instantly. Several of the crew of the liner are re ported slightly Injured. The ship's In juries are sald.to.be serious and will ne cessitate an extended stay in the Hong Kong drydock.

May Save Copper Queen. GRANT'S PASS. Or.. Aug. 19. The steam schooner Copper Queen, which plied between Rogue River and San Francisco, and which recently went ashore off Point Reyes, will be saved, so It Is learned from Captain Burns. The Copper Queen was driven well up on the sand by the heavy winds, and Captain Burns and the crew were saved only after much heroic work on the part of the near-by life-saving crew. At first It was believed that the Queen was lost hopelessly, but Captain Bums is now of the opinion that she can be hauled off the beach. This schooner seems destined to an un timely end. as it was but a few weeks ago she ran ashore at the mouth of Rogue River, while attempting to bring In the schooner Berwick over the Rogue River bar. She was successfully hauled oft th sand at high tide by the tug Columbia, from Marshfleld. This tug, or one from San Francisco, will again attempt the rescue of the unfortunate schooner.
