He recognizes the propriety at this time, when the committee has suddenly become most Important to the well defined policy of the administration, of his retirement from the chairmanship and the selection of a Republican senator for the position. The matter will be broached to him by his Republican colleagues In a considerate manner, and pains will' be taken to give the Alabama senator a prominent minority position on the committee, an arrangement which every one recognizes Is due his long and consistent championship of the canal.
