The ottoman nation cannot sacrifice Its rights and will employ all the means in its power to defend them and show that it wishes to live with honor."

POOR FARM AND NEW HOSPITAL Administrative Board Would Make City's Almshouse Self-Sustaining. Removal of Indigent persons and chronic invalids from the City Home to a farm to be acquired by the city and the rebuilding of the present City Home property into a modern and com? plete City Hospital are proposed in a resolution adopted by the Adminis? trative Board yesterday on motion of Mr. Hlrsehberg. The resolution rec? ommends that the City Council look Into the advisability of such a plan, including the purchase of a sufficient tract of land for tarm purposes, with buildings thereon, lor the present in? mates of the City Home, white and I colored, the farm to be of sufficient acreage to raise enough produce and foods!ufl to make the Institution self sustammc; and the present buildings to be remodelled to provide a modern and up-to-date free hospital. The plan is said to be In line with the most advanced method of alms house work. In most cities indigent persons and aged or infirm charges upon the i Itjf betttl kept intheeountry, where those who are able to do light farm work contribute to their support The present institution is maintained at a flat expense to the city of more than t?oonn the year, while there seems to be no doubt that under proper man? agement a sufficient farm could be made more than self-supporting In addition the patron believes that a large part of the food-stuff and fuel which the city now purchases and dis? tributes to the poor of the city could be produced on such a farm, thus en? abling the city to greatly enlarge that work at reduced cost.

I onfederate (Continued from Arft page ) I otent to nay that obviously the Cnited States is not to be denied the power to remit tolls to Its own coastwise trade because of suspicion of possibility that the regulations yet to be fiamed may not res tire l this exemption to bonaflde [coastwise traffic. The answer to this objection, therefore, apart from any [ question of treaty interpretation, is that it rests on conjecture as to what may happen, rather than upon facts, und does not present a question for submission to arbitration. "It will be remembered that only questions which it may not be possible to settle by diplomacy are required ! hy our arbitration treaties to be re? ferred to arbitration." Mr. Knox continues taking up Sir Kdward Orey's objection that the canal act would enable tolls to be fixed which would not be just nn<i equitable, the secretary again calling attention to the fact that this statement was made without knowledge of tb* Presi i dent s toll proclamation He welcomes the opportunity of informing the British government that in adopting the rate of 11 25 per ton. Professor j Kinor y Johnson included American coastwise shipping in his calculations. I Quoting from his report, the secretary 'shows that Professor Johnson calcu? lates the tonnage passing through the canal in 191.V as composed of American coastwise shipping 1,(100.HOD tons; Amer? ican foreign. "20.000 tons and foreign shipping, S.7N0.0II0 tons It was on this estimate that the President tlxed the tolls. "If. as a matte- of fact." Secretary Knox declares, the tolls now fixed (of which Sir Kdward Orey seems ?.inawarei do not exceed this require? ment 'interest on the capital expended and the cost of operation and main? taining the canal' and as heretofore pointed out. there is no claim that they do. It is not apparent under Sir Kdward Orey's contention how Oreat Britain could be receiving un? just and tnequltable treatment if the Cnited States favors its coastwise vessels by not collecting their shure of the tolls necessary to meet the require? ment." The exemption of the coastwise trade from tolls, the secretary holds, is merely a subsidy granted by the Cnited States to that trade Has Power to Violate Treaty. Summarizing the British objections and commenting upon them. Secretary Knox does not deny that Congress has the power, through the President, to violate the terms of the Hay-Paunrhe fote treaty in Its aspect as a rule of municipal law. Only when the complaint i? n.ad-? by ('?re,.t Britain that British vessel* ac? tually have been subjected to un'-qual treatment or inequitable tolls. Secretary Knox asserts, can the question be raised whether the United states is bound by the Hay-Pannoefote treaty to collect tolls from American vessels, and whether the British vessels are entitled to equal treatment. Therefore the aaaoretnry holds that it is not now necessary to discuss questions of facts which have not yet arisen. In conclusion the American note sug? gests that the situation developed by the present discussion may require an examination of Oreat Britain into the facts set forth as to the basis for the tolls and other facts bearing upon the situation If Oreat Britain, as a result of such an examination, finds thai a different opinion exis's between the two governments on any of the importan' questions of fact involved, then "a situation will have arisen whi.-h. in the opinion of this go veriimetit. could with advantage be dealt with by referring the controversy to a com? mission of inquiry for examination and report, m the manner provided for in the unratifled arbitration treaty of August 3, 1911. between the limited States and Oreat Britain " The necessity for inquiring into questions of fact in their relation to controversies under diplomatic dis? cussion was contemplated by both parties in negotiating that treaty. "This proposal might be carried out, should occasion arise for adopting it. either under a special agreement or under tho unratifled arbitration treaty above mentioned, if Oreat Britain is prepared to join in ratifying that treaty, which the United States is prepared to do." Published in London. London, January 23?The reply of the American Secretary of Siate to the i British note with reference to the: Patnama Canal tolls was issued here late last, night. Only a few papers com? ment on it The Daily News, in an editorial, says ; "Although nor an unskilful reply, it is not, convincing However. Secretary Knox does not sent the door on arbitra? tion.
