THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUX-TELEGRA3I. SATURDAY, JULY IS, 19iS.

CANAL BILL FIGHT

READYJOR SENATE Measure Has Been Submitted Without Committee Re- , port Tolls Question. (Palladium Special.) WASHINGTON. D. C, July 13. Shall shipping controlled more or less by the railroads be excluded from the use of the Panama Canal and shall

ships engaged in the coastwise trade

be permitted to use the Canal free of toll, are problems shortly to be solved by the senate when the bill "providing for the opening, maintenance, protection and operation of the Panama Canal" is taken up for consideration by the upper branch of congress. The House bill relating to the regulation of the Panama Canal was amended in a number of important particulars by the Benate committee on Interoceanic Canals, or which Senator Brandegee is chairman, but the bill, which is on the calendar and is to be made the unfinished business after the Sundry Civil bill is out of the way, was submitted without a report from the committee. While amendments were adopted by majority votes In a number of instances, a majority could not be found to stand for the bill as amended and so its making is entrusted to the senate, which will probably debate tne questions suggested at considerable length. The House Measure. The bill as it passed the House gives vessels engaged in the coastwise trade free passage through the canal and prohibits steamships which are owned or controlled by railroads from using the canal. The bill as it came from the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals extends the provision for free passage to American ships in the foreign trade, provided the owners of such vessels agree that they may be taken and used by the government In time of war or other public emergency, and allows railroadowned ships engaged in foreign trade to also carry coastwise commerce through the canal provided that at least half of their cargo, in tonnage, is destined to or shipped from Oriental or European ports. Upon these provisions, as lively and interesting a debate as the senate has listened to in years may be expected. : "In my opinion the Panama bill should be amended In the senate to conform to the House bill," said Senator George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon today. Coastwise vessels should be permitted to use the canal without the payment of tolls, but this privilege should not be granted to steamships owned by railroads or by companies the stock of which is owned in whole or in part by railroads. , .. "If railroad companies are permitted to operate steamers through the canal and engage in coastwise traffic in competition with Independently-owned steamship companies, the result wilt inevitably be that by reducing rates below a renumerative basis steamships owned by railroad companies will drive the independent companies out of business entirely and leave the railroad companies to. fix the transcontinental rates, at figures that will not only, compensate for carriage but for losses sustained by their Bteamers. "This has been the history of transportation on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and railroad companies have for years operated steamers at a loss, driving independent lines out of business and fixing arbitrary rateB for interstate and all continental traffic. "It is a part of the history of the Pacific coast that the Southern Pacific company and other transcontinental roads have operated steamships on the Pacific, between Panama and points north, at heavy expense and yet have been able to recoup these losses by excessive rates by rail."

PARIS HAS A SWEET TOOTH. A Poet to Whom Candy Brought Better Result Thap Hie Rimes. The best business In Paris Is said to be that of the well established and popular confectioner, and this fact has been recognized, it is said, 6ince the days of Napoleon III. and his natural brother, the Duke de Moray. "The duke. says Le Crl de Paris, "had a weakness for writing vaudevilles and often asked the counsel of Siraudin, who was a skillful collaborator of Clairvllle. "But the theater brought no riches to Siraudin. One day Moray said to him: 'My friend, I want to see thee in a better situation. The idea comes to me to put thee in commerce. What dost thou say to it?' ,. t. v : "Siraudin received ' this proposition Joyfully, but what line of trade should he choose? Moray and Siraudi set out on the principle that the best business was evidently the one in which there were fewest failures. They conscientiously scanned the bulletin of declarations of bankruptcy. All the trades were represented there all except one: that was the confectioner, and Moray gave to Siraudin the necessary capital to establish ' himself as a merchant of bonbons. Siraudin ingeniously conciliated the lyric muse. He wrapped his pralines, his sugar plums and his chocolates In kiss papers, each inclosing his printed verses. Moray did better than establish him. He frequented ais shop. As the duke was the king of the w&rld of- fashion, be drew all Paris by bis example, and the fortune of the poet-confectioner Siraudin was made."

The first skyscraper was planned (but not built) by a Parisian architect ta the year 1601. It was to be over Are hundred feet high and provide

for live hundred persons.".'

LA FOLLETTE MAIL DIMES WITH WILSON Reported that Chas. R. Crane Millionaire, Has Gone Over to Wilson.

A ROYAL BRITISH SOCIETY JUBILEE Hundreds of Noted ' Scientists Will Attend Great London Meeting. (National News Association) LONDON, July 13. Hundreds 5f noted scientists representing universities, colleges, institutions for scientific research and scientific societies in all parts of the civilized globe have arrived in this city during the present week to take part in the celebration, next week, of the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Society, the most important scientific body in Great Britain. Every country of Europe, nearly every one of the civilized nations of the Orient, the United States, Canada and the British possessions in all parts of the world will be represented at the jubilee celebration which will begin on Monday and continue until Thursday of next week. Iff keeping with the importance of the event to be commemorated- the celebration will he on an extensive

scale and a highly interesting and elaborate program has been arranged. King George, who, like all hia male predecessors on the throne of England, since Charles II., was made a member of the Royal society, is taking unusual interest in the matter and will entertain his fellow members of the Royal Society and its native and foreign guests. The Lord Mayor and corporation of the city of London will give a magnificent banquet to the members and guests in Guild Hall and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge will welcome them. The Royal Society received its charter of incorporation, bearing the signature of Charles II. and the great seal - of the realm, on July 15, 1662, and it is this event which will be commemorated next week. But the history of the society dates really back to the year 1645. In that year Theodore Haak, a German, who had come from the Palatinate to; England, be

gan to organize weekly meetings "of j

divers worthy persons inquisitive in natural philosophy and other parts of human learning, and particularly of what has been called the New Philosophy, or experimental philosophy." One of the Haak's scientific friends, Henry Oldenburg, also of German nationality, acted as secretary and keeper of the records of these meetings, which were at first held at the Bull Head tavern in Cheapside, and also at the lodgings of a Dr. Goddard in Wood street.

Three years later some of the mem

bers of these gatherings, who had removed their residence to Oxford, founded a sister organization at the university under the name of "The Philosophical Society of Oxford." Close relations were maintained between the London and the Oxford or

ganization, but ultimately their joint !

activities were concentrated in London, where meetings were held at Gresham college. Not. however, until 1660, did these meetings assume definite corporate form, and under the chairmanship of Dr. AVilWins' a committee of Forty was constitute-i for the

purpose of "promoting psychic, math- j

emattcal, experimental learning and

philosophy," with initiation fees, annual subscriptions, and regularly appointed meeting days, and series of lectures. Sir Robert Moray was elected president and the membership of the society was limited to fifty-five. Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians, and - the professors of mathematics, physics and of natural philosophy at Oxford and Cambridge were made admissible as associate or supernumerary members. In October of the following year King Charles, who took great interest in the society, applied for election as ordinary member and was duly elected. On July 15, 1662 the Royal Society received its charter. The original founder of the society, Theodore Haak, had died in the mean time, but his friend, Henry Oldenburg, was still living and actively interested in the organization. He was broperly honored by being unanimously elected the first secretary and permanent executive officer of the society. Until the great Are of London the society continued to hold its meetings in Gresham' College. But when, after that conflagration, the premises of the Royal Society in Gresham col

lege were required for the municipal offices, it was invited by Henry Howard, sixth Duke of Norfolk, to establish itself under his roof at Arundel House. At the same time he presented the society with the valuable library collected by his grandfather, Thomas, Earl of Arundel. In 1671 Isaac Newton was elected a member and thirty years later he was elected president an office wjiich he held to the time of his death in 1727. Under the presidency of Isaac Newton the society moved to Crane Court, where it remained until 1780, when it removed to a Bulte in Somerset House. The next and last change was made in 1857, when the Royal Society removed to its present quarters at Burlington House, Piccadilly.

SEAGIRT, N. J.. July 13. Charles R. Crane of Chicago, who contributed heavily to Senator La Follette's campaign fund, and Charles Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, Senator La Follette's ardent supporter prior to the Chicago convention took luncheon today with Governor Wilson, a short time before the expected arrival of Speaker Champ Clark. News of their coming was made public by Governor Wilson last night. Close friends of the governor said Mr. Crane had transferred his preference from the Wisconsin senator to Governor Wilson and would be willing to do all he could to bring about the success of the Democratic ticket. As ne of the original contributors and

the donor of . the largest sum to the La Follette campaign fund, Mr. Crane helped make possible the senator's fight for the Republican nomination. His indicated espousal of Wilson's

cause is hailed by the governor s aavisers as an index to the sentiment which prevails among La Follette's followers. Governor Wilson conferred yesterday with Robert S. Hudspeth. William F. McCombs, Josephus Daniels, North Carolina's national committeeman, and E. E. Grosscup, Democratic state chairman of New Jersey, on the message which he will send to the national committee at Chicago on Monday. One of the national committeemen who enjoys the governor's close friendship said last night that Mr. Wilson would recommend Mr. McCoombs as national chairman and advise against the division of authority in directing the campaign between the national committee and a campaign committee. The governor wants a campaign treasurer who will act according to the Wilson ideas, and he wants a strong finance committee to see to it that no campaign material can be manufactured from the quality of the money used to run the fight. , "I shall insist upon the fullest publicity in the matter of finances," the governor said last night. "The name of every contributor will be made public both before and after election."

A SQUIRREL WITH NERVE. Survived Us Wild Leap Over Cliff U Escape Captivity. It may not be generally known that the squirrel can leap from a great height, break its fall in its descent and alight uninjured. A naturalist once saw a squirrel leap from a treetop thirty feet high, drop to the ground and run op another tree for safety. Some boys In Mexico caught a black squirrel nearly as big as a cat It had once escaped from them by leaping from the top of a sixty foot pine tree. They thought it bewitched and wanted to throw it down a precipice several hundred feet deep. A traveler intervened to obtain fair play. The squirrel was conveyed in a pillowcase to the edge of the cliff, then let out, that he might take the choice between captivity and the terrible leap. The crouching squirrel looked down the abyss, then backward and sideways, his eyes glistening. Seeing no escape except In front, be took a flying leap into space and fluttered rather than fell into the abyss. His legs worked like those of a swimming dog. but faster, while his tail, slightly elevated, spread out like a fan. He landed on a ledge of limestone.

where he could be seen squatting on his hind legs and smoothing his ruffled fur. after which he made for the creek, drank and scampered away Into the willow thicket. London Answers.
