Expert Who Makes Investigation for ' Government Asacrts Ills Hitch Will He on Pnylnjc Unsla In Twenty Yri, WASl UNGTON, Nov. 13.-Presldcnt Taft tonight Issued a proclamation fixing the rates that foreign ships shall pay for passage through tho Panama canal. The 'proclamation, made under authority of the canal bill passed by congress In August, establishes a merchant vessel rate of $1.20 per net ton In actual carrying capacity, with a reduction of 40 per cent for ships In ba'last. The provisions of tho proclamation are as follows: "On merchant vessels carrying passen gers or cargo, $1.20 per- net vessel ton- each 100 cublo feet of actual earning capacity. "On vessels in ballast without passen gers or cargo, 40 per cent less than the rate, of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. "Upon vessels other than transports, colliers, hospital ships and supply ships, j0 cents per displacement ton. "Upon army and navy transports, col liers, hospital ships and supply ships, J1.20 per net ton. tho vessels to be measured by wthe sumo rules as aro employed In deter mining the net tonnage of merchunt ves, sels. "Tho secretary of, war will prepare and prescribe such rules for tho measurement of vessels and such rcgulattlons as may bo necessary and proper to carry this proclamation Into full forco and effect." American coatwlso shipping was ox- impted from toll payment by congress. It was on this provision of the act that Great Britain protested, but no reference to the 'protest was made In tho president's oroclamation.

Tllo "rates', named In tho proclamation are practically tho same as those which wlil be in force at the Suez canal next year. Tho 'president based his declaration of rates upon the report and Investigation of I'rof. -Emery R- Johnson of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, an expert desig nated by executive order for the task. Tho report has been awaited with in terest by shipping Interests throughout the world. According to Prof. Johnson's report to the president, also made public tonight, tho Panama canal should be upon a self mstalnlng basis In twenty years. It rhould competo successfully with tho Suez route for traffic of Europe with South American west coast points and with New Zealand, but cannot be expected to compete successfully for Europe's trade tj the far cast. Taking the estimates of the canal com m'stlon .for expenses of operation and maintenance of tho canal and for the Improvements held to bo necessary at the ' Tnd of a decade Prof. Johnson figures that the rate pcr-.ton $an bo reduced at the end of ten years to SI. Even with thN rate.' Which ho says probably will correspond clpscly with the rato that may thcr) bo enforced through the Suez canal, the United States will obtain enough revenue from foreign vessels to pay all fixed changer, provide a sinking (Continued on Page Five.) .

Tho decision was .reached after tho council hod received a communication from tho Ottoman commander In chief. Tho vlow Is also endorsed by a represen tative of tho Red Cross society. BULLETIN. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. tt-Thcro ts good reason to bellovo that tho Turkish i;overnment lias decided to nogotlato di rectly with tho Balkan allies, as thu mediation of tho powers scorns to be fruitless. LONDON. Nov. 13. A much moro hope ful feeling prevailed today In regard to thb International sltuntlon created by tho Balkan war. Tho situation Is stilt full of difficulties, but tho attitude, of all of tho powers In working for n peaceful set tlement, will, It Is believed, result tn avoiding an actual conflict. Servia, however, has not yet replied to the Austro-Hungarlan suggestion that a Sorvlnn occupation of Albanian territory or of a port on tho Adriatic sea will not he tolerated. At (ho sumo tlmo a Servian army continues Its march toward tllo Adriatic coast, and In ono report from llelgVudc Is snld actually to have reached Durnzzo. Thu Rusttnn government, acting In direct disregard of public- feeling In Rus sia, hun notified tha Hervlan minister at St. Petersburg that Russia will not gr to war over the question of an Ardlatt port. Tho Russian forqign minister, Ser gtus Satonnff, at tlin snmo time In formed tho Servian mlnjster that Russia .would glva friendly support to Hcrvlu In Its negotiations with Austria-Hungary. ' I'rniMiMiil of Auatrln. It Is understood that Count Von Berth old, tho Aiistro-Hungnrlun foreign min ister, hns proposed to give oxtciistvo privileges to Servia In connection with the projected Adriatic-Danube, railway, ..It ts said Dr. Daneff, Jrcsldcut .of tho Bulgurlun Chamber of Doputlcs, proposed that Austria should ullow Servia to go to soma Mrt oil tho Adriatic, without ob taining tho territory at tho back of It or tho right to fortify tho port, which would bo connected with Servlun terri tory by a railway. ' Hervla has yet to bo heard from In re gard to these proposals. It believes that Austria alum at Its political and oconomlc subjection, which wrould break up tho al ltanco of tho Balkan nations. With an Independent Servia, Austria fears that Its Sorvlnn subjects will want to Join their1 co-nutlonallHts. In the meantime tho Albanian chiefs at a meeting at ,tho seuport of Avion, hava proclaimed tho autonomy of their coun try. Turkey Is once more reported to havo mado 11 direct appeal to tho Balkan allies for medlatlo'n, and Constantinople also hears that tho European powers havo submitted to tllo Balkan nations Turkey's request for an armistice pending negotiations for peace. Turkey Wnnta Armistice. Turkey ts now In better position to ask for an armistice, as it is understood strong reinforcements of fresh Turkish troops liavo reached Tchatalja and might hold out thero for days If not weeks. Tho abscuco of nows from that quarter suggests that tho Bulgarian army Is not walking over Turkish fortifications, as It waa expected to do. The duel between tho Turkish warships and tho Bulgarian ar tillery appears still to bo In progress at Rodosto, on the sea, of Marmora, Tho garrison of Adrlanople has mado another desperate sortie, and according to Bulgarian accounts has been driven buck Into the fortifications.
