Tho Mann Bill, providing for the
administration of tho Panama Canal
Zono and centralizing tho govern
ment thereof in tho president of the
Unitod States, passed the houso by a
voto of 119 to 102. Tho democrats
vigorously fought tho measure. An
Associated Press dispatch says:
"Tho attitudo of the majority and
minority on' this section may be best
described by a question propounded
to Representative Townsend of Mich
igan by Representative Garrett of
Tennessee and by Mr. Townsend's re
ply: 'Do you bolievo that congress
has any power under the constitution
to confer legislative power on tho
president?' asked Mr. Garret. 'Ordi
narily, no replied Mr. Townsend.
'In this Instance, yes. We are in
Panama digging a canal and it Is
necessary for the president to have
tho power to make rules and regu
lations for tho government of the
zone whilo that work is in progress.'
Representative Mann, author -of tho
bill, claimed that precedent for a del
egation of such power in the execu
tive was found in similar action by
democratic congresses at the time of
tho Louisiana purchase and again
when Florida was ceded to the United
States by Spain. Defending his
party, Representative Harrison of
Now York said that disturbed inter
nal conditions made such action nec
ossary, but that despotic government
in those territories was continued no
longer than was found necessary to
establish local government. Speeches
were made by Representatives Under
wood of Alabama, Hardwick of
Georgia and others on the opposition
to this section. A motion of Mr.
Hardwick to strike out tho section
entirely was lost by the close vote of
85 to 90."
With a view of making interna
tional arbitration judicial in fact as
well as in theory, Secretary Knox
has addressed a circular to tho pow
ers proposing that tho jurisdiction of
the international prize court, autho
rized in 1907 by Tho Hague peace
conference, be extended so as to make
it a court of justice. This noto was
dated October 18, 1909. No re
sponses has been received. A state
ment explaining tho contents of the
noto and tho reasons the proposal
was made was given out by Secre
tary Knox. The international prize
court was to bo composed of fifteen
judges, eight of whom were to be
chosen from the largest maritime
countries, Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Franco, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan and tho United States, and
were to serve six years. The other
judges were to be chosen from the
remaining nations, and were to sit
for a longer or shorter period as de
termined by the maritime standing
of their respective countries.

"his departure from the national, ser
vice is one of the greatest losses the.
government has sustained in recent
years.
' Isaac Finkelstein of New York put
in considerable time digging a tun
nel in order to connect with a bank (
and jewelry house. He thought in
this way ho could tap the treasury
boxes of the two institutions. The ,
tunnel caved in and Finkelstein lost- "
his life. His body was recovered by
a party of workers.

In a discussion in the house it de
veloped that the revenue cutter ser
vice had been used extensively in an
effort to locate John Jacob Astor's
yacht, Nourmah'al, reported lost in
West Indian waters several weeks

calling upon tho treasury department
to state how much this search had
cost the government.
