Insertion ln tba Nortb Vancouver, B. O.,,,,„,,,,,,,, .August IS, UIS, EFFECT OF BBIDOB PIBBS ON CUE BBNT AT BBOOND NABBOWS The Shipmasters' Association of Vancouver is manifesting au ingenuity, worthy of a better caute in the matter of devising alleged reasons for objecting to tbe construction of a bridge at Second Narrows. The lookout has recently reported another danger ahead iu the' discovery that the conitructlon of a,bridge at Socond Narrows will cause n .1,1, inlil, increase iu the current at that point and with this is coupled the further formidable difficulty that if u train should he passing over the draw when a ship wanted to go through, the Bhlp would find it necessary to wait until the train bad passed over, This bitter opinion presents a masterpiece of ii:. "iiiu,-, the force of whicii is so great thut if it wore to prevail, tbe remit wuuld lie not only tho effectual blocking of the proposed bridge at Second Narrows but a similar calamity to every bridge ill creation, that is designed tu span navigable waters, Modem engineering skill lias accomplished some most wonderful feats, but it has nol yet beeu successful in evolving a type of bridge which will allow a train lu cruss the draw ami a vessel to pass Ihruugli Ihc draw at une and the samo time Kegrettable as tho circumstances may appear, it nevertheless must be acknowledged that tho world over wher ever a railway and traffic bridge crosses navigable waters, tbe two kinds of traffic find it neceasary to accommodate themselves to one another's convenience to a greater or lesaer extent. It ban remained however for tho Ship masters' Association of Vaueouver to arrive at the startling conclusion that I,cm.,, of thia fact uu bridges with draws shuuld be built. The exact mathematical row1 niii,'- to the effect of the propose* piers ou the force of the current af Second Narrows msy|be read in the re port uf au interview with Mr. Donald I'unieruu, t.'.E., which appears in anotber column of this issue. From the prsdi cul viewpoint, Ihe lay Ini ml will find u comparison helpful. The Fraser river bridge is a railway and traffic brTlgi- :| .inning a rapidly fiuwiug navigable slream tbe draw uf which,It passed lliruugli by a large and steadily in creasing number of steamships and sail ing vessels uf sll kinds. No cumplaiuls am In in.l huwever as lo auy ships col liiliug with the piers of the bridge or as lo any ships being seriously Incog veiiienccd through wailiug for trains lo cross, neither is there any evidence lliut anybody considers that tbo bridge lias made navigation serious in its vicinity, lu point uf fad one of the lar goat transportation companies, namely Hie i an,i,imu Northern Railway Com puny, has located one of its new town ..ites above the Fraser river bridge and if all or any large portiou of all that is said of (lie intentions of this company relative to Port Mann, matcrialir.es, Mien the' railway trallic over Fraser river l.niljf- and tbe water traffic iiirougli the bridge is destined to as time very large proportions, i'l the expert*of the Oanadian Northern (bow Imi tbey evidently differ widely there in from the Shipmasters' Association of Vaueouver) do uot appear to be of opiuion that they have committed any error in judgment iu locating tbe towu site above tbe bridge. 'I'lu- burlesijue has about reached the point at which it is in order for some cheerful jukcr to conic furward with tbe suggestion that au aeroplane ferry ser vice lie substituted for the proposed bridge at Secoud -Narrows, EQUAL KIUHTS OF ALL NATIONS IN PANAMA CANAL The recent action o/ tht .United States governmeut iu legislating to re mil all lolls to United Statea veaaels engaged iu the coast wise aud foreign trade, through the Panama Canal gives promise of developing into au issue of worldwide importance. A abort re view of tbe provleloaj of tbe lity Pauucefote treaty aud the circum ataucea leadiag up to it will be of iu lerett. By the Hay Pauucefote treaty Great Britain renounce,I the right, guaranteed by tbe ''laytou Bulwer treaty to join witb lhe United States iu tbt construction aud control of aay canal wbicb mignt be constructed uniting tbe water of tbt Atlantic and the Pacific octant. According to tba terma of tbe treaty as signed by tbe negotiators on February t, 1000, the United States agreed to uuite with Great Britain iu guaranteeing the,neutral Ity of the caual, and to invite other nations to join iu the guarantee, The latter provision aroused a great deal of opposition in the Unitud States and accordingly the treaty was amended by Ihe Seuato so as to leave with the Unitod States the right of inaiitaiiiiiig tho neutrality of tba canal, aud specifically abrogating the iTnvToii HiilvMi treaty. The treaty thus ainen,led was rejected by Ureat Britain, March 11, 1001. A new treaty was nugutiatod the same year and signed ou November 18, providing fur Iho abrogation of the i'Iuv tun -Bulwer treaty, and assuring lu tbe United States solo control of the laiial and solo right of maintaining its neutrality. The Unitod Slates, on tlie other hand, engaged tu adopt sub stauljally the name rules governing tbo . nimI rights uf all nations iu the navigation of the caual as govern the navigation uf tbe Suez i uunl The further provision was Incorporated iu tbe treaty that uo change iu Ihe sovereignly uf the territory traversed by the canal should aller tbe principle of neutrality, and of "liml lights uf all iiiiiiiiiii. and tu enjoy the benefits of the canal, lu tbu. form the treaty was acceptable tu Oreat Britain, and it was ratified liy the United Slates Senate on In comber 16, 1001. From a careful perusal uf the above, it will lie seen that the action of the United Statea governmeut involves ijucstioua uf national honor and raises i.'"ii". of crucial importance among na tioni. The bellicose statement of Seualor luinunns to the effect that war must lie the tinal arbiter in tbe matter buns the complexion uf an admiisiun of breach of faith upuu the part uf the United Slates which considers it,elf safe, for Ihe reason that under prcaeut lay .siiui,lur,Is the issue would not lie oiisiilereil -iiili, nnt tu justify the pre i-ipilatiun of war especially between the Iwu greal AngluSatun uatious. The assertion einauating fruin a lin tish .-,,,ii, ■•■ that Ihc general adoption of such au attitude in international rela tluimhlpa would throw the wurld back a century is quite within the mark. In fast, lbe repudiation of a duly signed treaty between Iwo naliuus upon the I .ui of either part-, thereto is an act so extremely rare among civilised na imn.- lhat ils occurrence euuld never be considered as among the possibil ties. The president has not as yet affiled his signature to the bill just petted by tbt senate of tbe United males aud it is safe lo say that he would ,,,0,11111 n.i the a,iiniuii no, of uosts of the i ill/ens oi the country of which he ia the executive head—cilixcui who bave high eouecplious of personal aud uf national honor and would be sc luun..I by the world at large if he were tu decliue to give his consent to the measure _,...,.!( I..,.., .. ...„., ^.
