LANGFITT PREPARING PLANS N0 P0LlTIC8 m kaiser'3 visit Deeds Will Be Sent to Washington In Few Days, and Then Last Cause of Delay Will Be Removed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 23. It developed today, upon Inquiry at the "War Department, that, the Government Is not able to be gin construction of The Dalles-Celllo casual because the State of Oregon has not .yet conveyed to the Federal Gov ernment absolute title to the right of way for this waterway. Tne original act of Congress author lzing the canal stipulated that no work snould be done until the state had presented right of way to the Govern ment free of cost. When this condi tion -was Imposed by Congress, steps were taken by the state looking to the purchase or condemnation of the necessary lands and Army engineers are advised that most, If not all, of the land necessary has been purchased or condemned. In fact last September Major Langfltt transmitted to the Chief of Engineers abstracts of title to this land. These abstracts were examined by the Attorney-General and approved as being sufficiently binding. The papers were then returned to Major Langfltt with the understanding that the state would make payments for the various parcels of land Included in the right of way. Since that time nothing has been Iheard from Major Langfltt or from the state and. so far as the War Depart Morocco Wlll'Welcomo Him, but Not Offend France. PARIS, March 23. Dispatches from Tangier, Morocco, say that tho German and Spanish and Moorish elements are preparing an elaborate reception for Em peror William on the occasion Of his visit to Morocco. It Is now generally accepted here that the Emperor's visit has no significance as a demonstration against trance, xne authorities are hopeful that he will not make a speech, as this poasibly would give a political aspect to his visit. The French ofllclals are confident that Germany has no political designs on Morocco, and It Is pointed out that If Gorman activity there results In the in terruption of the French policy. It will be a serious blow to the cause of dvlllza tlon, ab it will encourage Morocco to re vert to the old regime of barbarism and anarchy which made the Perdlcarls case possible. WASHINGTON, March 23. Minister Gummere has reported by cable to the State Department from Tangier that the Emperor of Germany is expected there about May 1. DROWN VOICE OF" NEW PREMIER Italian Radicals Denounce TItonni as a Papist. ROME, March 23. There was a spirited discussion In the Chamber of Deputies today over the Cabinet crisis. Foreign Minister Tlttoni, answering various speakers, confirmed yesterday's state ment as to the origin of the crisis and outlined what will be his programme In the event of his .becoming Premier, insist ing especially on the necessity of punish ing the authors and organizers of the railway strike or obstructionism. When Slgnor Tlttoni avowed his Lib eral principles he was greeted with cries from the extreme left of "You I Trorn QlllnA TT-ltVi Vo r1oyr'a at- rsn- aent Is aware, this right of way has eral pipetinnK 1 Slgnor Tittonl tried to read the pro not been purchased. Until the title is turned over to the Government, not one cent of the $330, 000 appropriated last session can be ex pended. Notwithstanding this situation. Major Langfltt will proceed with the preparation of the project for the ex penditure of this money and work will beglp In accordance with his plan Just ' as poon as title to the right of .Avay rests in the Government. The recent action of the State Por tage Railway Commission In effecting a compromise with I. H. Taffe complet ed the title to the right of way de manded by the Government and the ab stractors are now preparing the final abstract for the approval of the Gov ernment. This abstraot will be forward ed to Washington within a few days at the latest and. after examination and approval by the United States Attorney-General, the deeds will be execut ed by the state and passed to the Gov ernment. When the former abstract was sub mitted to the Government, it was found that an additional piece of property was necessary to be secured from Mr. Taffe and that there were several minor de fects to be cleared In other titles. The deeds recently given the state by Mr. Taffe gave full title to the state of all property necessary and the flaws have been corrected under the direction of the State Attorney-General. Governor Chamberlain anticipates the receipt' of the complete Abstract from The Dalles within a day or two and Is certain that It will prove acceptable in every way to the Government. It Is hot felt that there will be the slightest delay on account of title now, since the state is in position to meet all the requirements of the Government. gramme of the so-called Clerical Depu ties In order to prove that they also ac cept the present institutions of the coun try. ,, but, the extreme left, by continued shouting of "Papist, papist," prevented him from doing so. The president of the chamber adjourned the sitting In the midst of the confusion. A vote will be taken tomorrow. UNITED STATES HIS MODEL. Deschanel Praises Policy of. Separa tion of Church and State. PARIS. March 21 The Chamber of Deputies today continued the debate on the bill providing for the separation of church and state. M. Deschanel, Repub lican, former President of the House, de clared .the debate was the most important since the revolution, as It concerned the abolition of a religious regime which had existed for five centuries. The lnterfer ense of religion with politics had become intolerable, while the interference of the state with questions of conscience was equally odious. Therefore, the time had come to place each upon a separate and Independent basis. M. Deschanel referred to the United States as showing the beneficial effect of tho entire separation of church and state. Dividend on Bank of England. LONDON. March 23. At the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of England today a dividend of 4& per cent was declared. The net profits for tho six months ending February 28 were $3,23L5. A nervous shareholder drew attention to the railroad tunneling all around the bank and In clOBe proximity to the subterranean vaults holding the country's bullion, and offering facilities for the use of explosives by bur glars. Governor Morley reassured him. WILL WATCH SOLAS ECLIPSE United States and Several Other Na tions Send Out Observers. WASHINGTON. March. 21. Rear-Ad miral Chester, superintendent of the Naval Observatory, has completed arrangements for the observation of the total solar ocxipse ox August ss-jo of this year, an event of the greatest raomont to astron omers, and tho details of his plan have been made public. Congress appropriated $5000 for this purpose, and the naval party will be sont out on the United States ship Columbia and the United States ship Car ter to establish three separate stations. namely, one near the central line of the eclipse, possibly on one of the Islands of the Columbretes group, off the east coast of Spain; -one, ten or fifteen miles within the edge of the shadow path, probably near Valencia. Spain, and one near the central line close to the railroad from Tunis to Algiers, in Africa. The force will consist of Rear-Admiral C M. Chester, U. S, N.. In charge; about seven men of the staff .of the naval ob servatory; L. E. Jewell, of Johns Hop klns University; Dr. S. A. "Mitchell, of Columbia University, and Dr. N. E. Gil bert, of Dartmouth College. Professor Ji. H. Blgelow, of the United States Weather Bureau, will accompany the ex pedition in charge of the meteorological work. In this eclipse the moon shadow strikes the earth at sunrise near the south end of Lake Wlnnopcg, Manitoba: sweeps east ward through the British possessions over Labrador and enters the Atlantic Ocean 100 miles north of the cast entrance of Belle l6le Straits. After leaving the American coast, no land is met by the shadow untU. it reaches ho north coast of Spain, where the middle of tho shadow crosses the coast line 100 miles west of Santander. and sweeps southeastwardly across Spain, leaving Madrid about 0 miles and Valencia about two miles dis tant from the southern edge outside of the shadow. Crossing the Mediterranean, the shadow strikes Africa midway be tween Algiers and Tunis, across the desert into Egypt, leaving the earth In Central Arabia. Besides this American Naval expedition.
