RIGHT TO FORTIFY CANAL A QUESTION If Serious Obstacles Develope They Must Be Settled by Congress. r Washington Now that the United States Is about to complete the Pana ma canal, many nations are interest ing themselves in th question ol Its fortification and have succeeded In raising discussion of the proposition. Tbe United States, however, Is going ahead calmly with the plans for de fending the canal, which are before President Taft, and the. question, if any serious opposition develops, must be settled in coneresa this winter. Tbe two problems, therefore, which ' are agitating the officials of the Unit ed States and of other countries, are whether the United States has the right to fortify the canal, and wnether It can do it successfully if it has the right. Question of Right to Fortify, There is little doubt of the ability of the United States to fortity :h canal effectively. Whether or not It has the right to do so according tc the agreement with Great Brila'a is. e more invo'.ved question. Apart from treaty consideration the right of the United States cannot he questioned.,' The United S'a3 con trols the 10-mile strip through wV.cb the canal runs, as much as it contrulr the Philippine Islands. This country spent hundreds of millions of clo''ar to dig the waterway. The right of t'lt United States to erect what forliftua tiona it pleases within its own t-rrl tory and to .defend its own possesions. canno be. questioned. SULTAN OF 8ULU.

A determination to permit the greatest latitude In dis cussion of irrigation problems, but to keep the deliberations free from sec tional disputes or personal grievances, was voiced by o Dicers and delegates here for the 18th National Irrigation Congress, which ' opened Monday. Tuesday the congress got down to business. In the morning the 'con gress discussed "Irrigation by Private Enterprise," and in tbe afternoon Its attention was turned to "Public Irri gation." " ' One of the Interesting features was the conference on Irrigation account ing, when a dozen or 5 of tbe most expert representatives of the United States Reclamation Service, the large private companies, brokerage, bond , and banking houses took up various phases connected with Irrigation from the investment standpoint BRIEF NEWS OF THE WEEK A meeting of the appraisers of the largest ports' of entry, of the United States will be held in New York on November 14.

By unanimous vote the board of trustees of the University of Mississ ippi decided to abolish Greek letter societies from that institution. Secretary Balllnger states that the board of army engineers now study ing government Irrigation projects in the west, would not be able to report bef6re November 1, and possibly later. Because they have grown so fast a number of cities on the Pacific coast have incurred a natural suspic ion In the census bureau that they have made unusual and' perhaps im proper efforts - to increase their rat ings for population. These cities in-' elude . Seattle, Tacoma, . Spokane, Portland, Oakland, Berkeley, Los An geles and some that are smaller.

A very pretty fight Is looming up over the reapportionment of seats in' the house of representa tives under the new census. Already the question . is . beginning to be dis cussed. The point of battle Is going to come over the proposition to so Increase the proportion of representation that the membership of the house will not be Increased beyond unwleldiy bulk. If this is done some of the eastern states will have their 'representation serious ly cut. They will tight desperately T against this. It the Democrats should succeed in electing a majority of the next Itouse of representatives at the November election' It Is probable tbe question of apportionment will be tackled by the present congress, which Is Repub lican at the coming session. Should the Republicans retain control there Is a chance the whole matter may go over until the' new congress meets, the interim being occupied by the party leaders In trying to reach some agree ment. ; There are 391 members of congress now, a number which admittedly Is unwleldiy, and there is a sentiment In favor of keeping it right there, or even of reducing It, that it may be more mobile In legislation, but as that would unquestionably result In reduc ing the representation of a number of , states, -some of them outside of New England, It Is more probable the total number will be pushed along over the 400 mark. 4 ITALY MUCHALARMEO Ravage of Cholera Recognized by Governments .

Tbe firing of a blast at tbe 300-foot level of the Home stake mine at Lead, S. D-, started a caveln which contlpued to tbe sur face, making a hole In the heart of the city 15 feet wide and 40 feet long. When the dust had cleared away 'the Bertolero boarding house was seen banging over tbe edge of the crevasse, and the Campbell Hotel's back steps led Into it. Fright among tbe resi dents of Lead, most of whom live above similar caverns, was allayed somewhat by assurance from mining officials that there was no danger of further caving. Tbe Homestake had hundred of mile of tunnel under the city, and the stopes form Immense caverns, reaching In the upper levels well to-' ward tbe surface.
