(From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Dec. .'{lst, 1904. Editor Press:— A few of the members of the low er house of Congress who are inter ested in the administration of the Panama canal announce that they have studied out a way to reduce the number of the Canal Commis sioners, and possibly to abolish the Commission altogether. They de clare that they have a powerful ally in the President whose views regarding the commission have been considerably modified by the report of Col. Symons who states that after a visit to the Isthmus and a thorough examination of the conditions there he considered the system of administration awkward and inefficient. The law as it stands gives the commissioners practically continuous tenure. The right is reserved to the President to remove the Commissioners, and it is plain that he could reduce the Commission and refuse to appoint others in their place, but since it was the Senate which insisted on the commission and recommended the appointment of the officers it is not likely he will make use of this privilege. However the law for the administration of affairs in the canal strip expires at the close of the present session of Congress and members of the House, it is said, will take advantage of the neces sity for re-enactment to urge a provision to extend the power of the chief engineer and to curtail that of the Commission. If the sentiment of the Senate should be too strongly opposed to this the whole subject could be thrown into conference for compromise. Col. Hepburn, chairman of the Inter slate commerce committee is one of the most earnest advocates for a reorganization of the system of ad ministering canal affairs, and is pretty solidly backed by his com mittee the members of which visit ed the Isthmus in a body last sum mer. The result of that visit was the unanimous opinion that Chief Engineer Wallace was the most competent man the Government had in its employ there and he should be given the fullest power possible in the conduct of affairs. Among the recent callers at the White House was Representative Robert Hitt who would like to be the successor of General Porter as Ambassador to France. Mr. Hitt was first secretary of the American legation in Paris in 1874 and now that he has acquired wealth and honors in his own country he would like to return to the gay city. That its gayety makes an appeal is doubt ful for Mr. Hitt has reached the uncertain age of seventy odd sum mers, and is in poor health. These disadvantages, it will be remem bered, were urged against him last summer when his name was sug gested for the Vice-Presidency. .Mr. Thomas Walsh, the Colorado millionaire, has also been talked of as the next ambassador to France, where he made many friends by his lavish entertaining during the last exposition, but altogether the chances for the appointment are with George L. .Meyer, of Massa chusetts, now ambassador to Italy, .who is a personal friend of the It doesn't pay them to( nix their own paints, fhousands of them are naking more money ising Lucas Paints (Tinted Gloss) Giving better satis action too.

Either of these three nieu have the means to establish and maintain a fine establishment in Paris, where though the charm of social life is great the expense is greater and a fortune behind one's salary is necessary for the position. Among the twenty-three Assist ant Secretaries now in office the greater number served also under President McKinley and were of his selection. Of these, it is said, many will be retained for the Pres ident is averse to changing. Speedy Relief. A salve that heals without a scar is DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
