Proclamation by President.
Washington, Nov. 14. President
Taft issued a proclamation fixing the
rates that foreign ships shall pay foi
passage through the Panama canal
The proclamation, made under author
lty of the canal bill passed by con
gress In August, establishes a mer
chant vessel rate of $1.20 per ton In
actual carrying capacity, with a reduc
tlon of 40 per cent for ships In ballast
The provisions of the proclamation
are ns follows:
"On merchant vessels carrying pas
sengers or cargo, $1.20 per net vessel
ton each 100 cubic feet of actual
earning capacity.
"On vessels In ballast without pas
sengers or cargo, 40 per cent less than
the rate of tolls for vessels with pas
sengers or cargo.
"Upon vessels other than trans
ports, colliers, hospital ships and sup
ply ships, 50 cents per displacement
ton.
"Upon army and navy transports.
colliers, hospital ships . and supply
ships, $1.20 per net ton, the vessels to
be measured liv the same rules as are
employed In determining the net ton
nago of merchant vessels.
"The serretary of war will prepare
and prescribe suclvrul'os for the mcas
urcmert of vessels and such regula
tlons ns may be necessary and proper
to carry this proclamation Into ful
force and effect."
American coastwise snipping was
exempted from toll payment by con
giess. It was on nis provision oi me
act that Great Britain protested, bul
no reference to the protest was made
in the president's proclamation.
Rates Same as at Suez.
The rates named In the proclama
tlon are practically the same as those
which will be In force at the Suej
canal next year.
The president based his declaration
of rates upon the report and Invest!
gatlon of Professor Emery R. Johnson
of the University of Pennsylvania, at
expert designated by an executive or
Uer for the task.
The renort has been awaited with
Interest by shipping Interests through
out the world.
According to Professor Johnson's re
port to the president, the Panama
canal should bo upon a self sustaining
basis In twenty years. It should
compete successfully with the Suej
route for traffic of Europe with South
American west coast points and wlti
New Zealand, but cannot be expected
to compete successfully for Europe'!
trade to the far east.
Professor Johnson figures that th(
rate per ton can be reduced at the end
of ten years to $1. Even with this
rate the United States will obtain
enough revenue from foreign vesseW
to pay all fixed charges, provide
sinking fund of 1 per cent to retire
the Panama canal bonds, and still find
a yearly balance,

of
State Inspectors Point to Lack
Block Signal System.
IndlanapoliF, Nov. U. Fifteen pe
sons were lulled and seventeen sen
ously Injured when a Cincinnati, Ham
llton and D'jyton passenger train ran
Into an open switch and crashed Into a
freight train at Irvlngton, a suburb.
The train was coming from Cincinnati
and was running forty mlleB an hour
According to Inspectors for tho In
dlana railway commission, a block sig
nal system would have prevented the
disaster. The wreck was caused by
the failure of the head brakeman to
close the switch to a t;ldlng on which
heavy freight train had been run.
Carl Gross, the head brakeman, has
assumed blame for the disaster. He
has not been arrested, but Is under
police guard at a hospital, where he
lies with a broken leg. Later he de
nied he was responsible, saying Tie
was under the Influence of an anesthetic
ccordlne to the commission, this
switch could not have been left open
had a block system been In operation.

Hostilities Apparently Ston and Con
tracts Now Existing for Military
Supplies to Be Canceled War in
Macedonia Practically Ended.
Constantinople, Nov. 14 That the
porte has entered Into direct negotia
tions with Bulgaria for an armistice Is
con finned.
Nazlm Pasha, the Turkish command
ei in chlor, has received instructions
to open communication with the Dul
garlan generals and he has sent an
envoy to the Bulgarian headquarters.
The porte appears resolved on this
eourse, owing, on tho ono hand, to the
delay of the powers lu handling the
mediation proposal and, on the othei
hand, to the divergence of views the
proposals have occasioned among the
powers.
It Is understood here that only four
of the powers agreed to submit the
mediation proposal, while two, presum
ably Austria and Germany, abstained
from participating. In these clrcum
stances the porte elected to apply di
rect to the principal belligerent, flul
garla, and there Is reason to believe
that the same course will be adopted
In the negotiations for the terms ol
peace.
Hostilities Apparently Stop.

supplies and Informed them that hs

supplied sent to the front.
