Trade St. Washington, Dec..^'2.—Affairs on the Panama canal wili occupy the at tention of Congress this winter to a marked degree. Public men, who have been Investigating these affairs, cargo that American diplo macy has scored a series of disgrace ful blunders In establishing the inter national relationships, and allege that transcontinental railroad finance has already started its influence working in an effort to prevent construction of American ships for the coast to coast trade via the caial. Members of congress, who have just returned from the canal zone, have indulged in startling statements regarding the condition of affairs in the zone almost on the eve of com- pletelng the great ditch. The diplo matic management, or mismanage ment that marked the formulation of the treaties with England and with the Republic of Panama, under which those countries became- parteners in determining the policy -of the canal, is being commented upon in bitter and contemptuous terms. One member ofcongress, who feels that the United States has got hold of the wrong end of the stick, states that it is absolutely necessary that we have the sole power to fix tolls through the canal and to grant pre ference to the coastwise shipping of this country, even if such action re sults In the repudiation of the whole Hay-Pauncefote treaty. “Have we the powder to grant free passage to American shipping, with out giving the same privilege to ail the world’s shipping? I have an opin ion of my own on this point, which 1 shall elucidate at the right time, but for thep resent I want to say simp ly that in a\l the conduct of dip lomatic negotiations, with Great Brit ain and with Panama, there is not one gleam of evident intelligence by the representatives of our interests. I know no performance of American diplomacy so entirely discrebitable.” The speaker was referring to the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty between this country and England, by which the old Clayton-Bulwer treaty was abrogarted and a new ar rangement entered into, permitting the United States to build the canal on certain conditions. These included a guarantee that commerce of all nations should be treated exactly alike in the matter of tolls and priv ileges at the canal. “It is going to be necessary,” said the congressman, “to adjust our tolls to the necessities of the traf fic. For business with the Orient, we must compete directly with the Suez, and we must make rates that will get the business. For business witit the west coast of South America, an other set of rates may be needed; perhaps not so low. For business be tween the east and west coasts of the United States, it may be pos sible to impose- another toll. Each route must have its rates made with reference to the competition it must meet. The Oriental ^business will be sought by both the. Suez and Pan ama routes, and I think we can get our share -of it on the basis of the same rate that Suez charges, about $1.50 a ton. If Suez cuts the rate, why we’ll have to cut it, too, and there’ll be a merry war of interna tional canal rates. “For business to the west ^oast of South America, the canal must com pete with the ‘Horn’ route, and with the Tehuaatepec railroad route. To the Pacific coast of our own country, competition will be with the transcon* tinental railroads, with Tehuantepec route and with the Horn. “All we can say now Is that rates should be adapted to the require ments of each situation. If they can not be adjusted to the necessities, be cause of the terms of our diplomatic engagements then the diplomatic en gagements must be modified, looks to me as • if the time between now and the opening of the canal could be most profitably occupied with the diplomatic work of getting out trea ties with England and .Panama put on the most sensible basis possible. They are certainly not that today. We are just about to have our canal ready to use, only to find that we have so tied ourselves up with other nations that it is about impossible to use it.” Interpolating here some more ob jurgations on the diplomacy of John Hay, former secretary of state, and expressing hearty admiration for the skill that had outwitted America's 'alleged diplomats’ at all points in the canal arrangements, the states men continvted: ^ “Some American interests have been trying to organize a company to build a great fleet of steamships lor the commerce between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts of this coun try. It has been apparent that this kind of a company must be kept inde pendent of railroad influence. Recent ly, the word has gone about that this company has been unable to interest any shipbuilding concern in construct ing the craft it will require. “For myself, I am prepaid to su^ port the policy of government con struction of the ships for this trade. The Panama Railway and Steamships Company is a magnificent object les son in the possibility of the plan. The government operates the steam ships. It has doubled the business, and reduced the New York-Colon rate from $5 to $3.50 a ton, and there is a fine profit in it. The ship on which the committee of congress came back from Colon was loaded to the guards with California produce, coming via the Panama railroad. We are going to have the canal work for the public, if it becomes necessary to build the ships and then operate them. Why not? We need auxiliaries for the navy. If we build them, we will have them in case of war.” So it seems that aside from the big trust busting legislation that con gress contemplates this winter, it will also make the preliminary skir mishes in opening up one of the mort far reaching InvestigaUons that ever has been conducted by congress into the whole Panama canal situa- “tion. Worse and Worse. “Did you ever notjce,” said Walter Grimes, “how a fellow, when he once gets ‘balled up’ and says the wrong thing, has a tendency to get in. deeper and deeper?” '- “A friend was first telling me of his ^ experience i^ attending a recep tion in Indianapolis some time ago. During the progress of the function an elaborately gowned woman sang for the gu^ts. Her voice wasn’t any thing to brag on, and my friend, who is very plain spoken, turned to a meek-looking little man sitting at his right and asked in a low voice: “Who was that old hen that has just squawked for us?” “ ‘That,’ replied the man address ed, ‘is my wife.’” “My friend gasped. *Oh, b-b-bbeg your pardon,’ he stuttered. ‘She’s really a rather nice looking woman and I know she’d sing beautifully if she made a better seleption of her music.. Who do you suppose ever wrote a rotten song’ like that?’ “‘I am the author of that song,’ replied the meek-looking little man." —Louisville Times. Right, First Gue^. “William, de you know why you are like a donkey?” “Like a donkey?” echoes William, opening his eyes wide. “N, I don’t.” “Do you give it up?” ^ “I do.” " “Because your better half is stub bornness herself.” “That’s not bad. Ha! ha! I’ll give that io my wife when I get home.” “Emeliy,” he began, as he sat down to supper; “do you know why I am like a donkey?” He waited for a moment, expecting his wife to give it up; but she didn’t. She looked at him with considerable pity in her eyes, and replied: “I suppose, dear, because you were born so.”—Tit-Bits. It’s the smart sayings of other peo ple that sometimes make us smart.
