that Prealdeni Tafl wlll render such aa

beekkeeping of thi canal the amount of
the tolls rcimtted shall alwaya be taken

w.aintaln them at a higher rate. than
would be necesaary were all AaaerlcaU
ghlpa to contrlbute thelr ahare to the In?
come of the waterway.
It la not deetned probable that even if
flnal adjuatment of the dlapute Is cfftcted
durlng thia adminlatratlon any leglalation
needed to carry it Into effect can be
paag^d befora March 4. In vlew of the
Democratic hatred of all forms of gubaldy.
however, the requbred leglalatlon might be
all the moie eaaily piussed after March 4,
nor would lt prove the occaslon of great
aurprlae, if. once the Democrats control
both houses of Congreaa. thelr Inadte
horror of sufcsldies ahould lead them to
repeal the debated section of the Panama
tt-nal bill.
Senate Viewa Unchanged.
The vlewa of 3eoators have undergone
llttle change as a result of the Brltlsh
protest, a fact whlch may be duo ln *ome
meeaure to the further fact that few 8en
atora have rcad It. but whlch la alao due
to the fact that tbe protest had been an
tlclpated at the time the canal blll was
paaaed and the meaaure aa approved by
tbe conference committee waa adopted.
genatoi s aald to-day Ihey could aee no oc
??aelon to change the attltude they as
numed toward the queetlon at that time.
The posalblUty that the act >viil he modl
fled materlally to ellmlnate th. obje -
tlorta of Great Brltain is doubtful. There
la grave doubt that the Senate wlll ap
preA-e a "compromla" to submit the dla
pute to arWtratlon. Por thia there are
varloua reaeona. The chief argument
gaalaat eoch-a courae ta that advauced
by Senator O'fJorman. who holds to the
opinion that lt would be Imposslhle to s?
cure an impartla! trlhunal to declde the
question, as members of tne court,
wbatavar their eauntrjr, would be on the
ground of nationallty diapoied to be hos

S'-nator O'Oorman takes the view that the
qnaatloa of toiis is a aaaaaatk matter and

She spoke of her mother, who, with
illumlned face, had one morning re
counted a dream In whkh flhe saw the
men and women of the future working
together. The speech was so inflamlng to
the audlence that one pale-faced womnn
arose and calkd out. "Let us slng 'The
Battla Hymn of the Republlc' "
The audlence got slowly upon Its feet
and dld ita beat. lt trled hard. After a
crfuple of false starts, it got well under
way as to sound The words were mostly
lacklng. but the "Qlarj, glory, halle
lujah!" was lusty.
At the end of the seoond verse the au?
dlence collspsed. One man sadly re
marked: "If they'd only kept It up a
while we might have done lt."
A negro next spoke feellngly from the

where a woman Ifl as good as a man and
a man no better than a woman.
"Thnt's Just what I aay," plp<"<1 Bf a

Dr. Anderaon went on to ?ay that ai
the courta had falled to convlct und",
the present lawa, there should be mofi
itrlngent lawa. He felt aure. he aald
the Klngs County Pharmaceutlcal Ttrttl
would back up any law that would siamt
out the terrlble trafflc in cocalne.
Blamaa Phyaioiana for "Coka."
Another point which the doctor thoughl
should be emphaslzed in any contenv
plated leglslation was the dispensing ol
narcotlcs by physicians. Thla ahould bi
entlrely atopped. he malntalned. Moat
i physicians were honorable men, he said
but as a dozen drugglsts, selling againsi
the law, could frustrate the efforts ol
twenty-two hundred reputable druggja'a
. ln the clty to < onflne the sale of cocaln?
i to legitlmate channela, so a few unacru
pulous doctors could work havoc wltr
tlie drug if they were not properly re>
strained. Ile contJnued:
If Ihe physician wants some on* to
have the diug, let him write a prescrlt,.
; tion. let tho druggist make a record ol
each prescrlption and let these record*
be open to inapection. Then the author.
Ittaa could soon see what doctora are
prescrlblng -too muoh cocalne, not per
haps with a view to ..reatlng a hablt,
hut. as they sometimes do. to make their
patlenta fecl well and say: "That'a a
good doctor. He cured me of rny pgln
ln a mlnute."
The dlscusslon of the afternoon waa
opened by T. F. France. a member of the
soclety's legislatlve committee, who said
the laws against the aale of cocalne m
this state were good as far as thay weai,
but that they were too looae. Any doctor,
dentlst or vcterinary, he said. could Im
port cocalne into the < Ity hy the pound
without transgresslng the law, and them
was a channcl, other than the retsil drug
