That the Tart administration has

opinion exprtssed in official circles yes-

of Senator Root. In which he opposed
the position taken by Congress, and of
the newspaper and other comment favor

that the nature of the British reply
bit considerably dependent upon the
gauge of public sentiment in the United
States on the Panama controversy.
In many quarters the belief Is con
fidently expressed that Great Britain
will not care to pursue the controversy
much further as a result of Sir. Knox s
note. Information has been received
here that the British government is not
putting much heart Into the controversy,
and has but little real Interest In It.
But for the pressure from Canada,
where the provisions of the Canal act
are much resented, and the disposition
shown by so many prominent Americans

side of the argument, u is declared that
Sir Edward Grey would never have

'Mr Chairman. 1 have always given
full credit to. the 'mint public-spirited
citizens' and 'many Intelligent l'lsla
tors to whom the Star editorial referred
Without them, of course nothing could
have been done But I think It is onl
the truth of the history to say that I
started the movement that I stuck t
it until success was won. and that I
gave more effort to It than anv one else
Not the least of my labors was to In
terest and stimulate others to co-operation
In this community movement Just
as I did in the case of the Potomai
Hats Park Improvement, for which- r
worked harder than for anything else
in my life ex-ept the Rock Creek Park
Improvement
"Slay I odd that It seemed to me per
fectly natural that I should continue to
work for Ro-k Crek Park when I saw
an opporunit-- to acquire an additional
1(0 acres necessary to complete It and
to begin the connection with the Po
tomac Flats Park below so carry Ing out
my pet Idea of Increasing parks and
connecting them the District round And
after Rock Creek Park had been estab
lished, vears after, when I nought land
on Its eastern border at prices far le
low the present prices. I offered to let
the government lave that land for ex
actly what I had paid for it, although
lh prices had already begun to rapidly
rise. But that opportunity was also
neglected, and I finally withdrew th
options which I had given
nother Letter Introduced.
