REASON FOR SHIPS! OF SMALLJONNAGE' BATTLESHIPS OF THE FUTURE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED TO I FIT THE PANAMA CANAL. OUT FLEET WILL BE DIVIDED; Disadvantage of Having Ships Which Must Round Cape Horn Was Illustrated in the War With Spain. Washington.?The real reason for j, the proposal of Secretary Hughes and | the American navy that hereafter no ( battleships shall be built by any nation , larger than 35,000 tons is just coming : to the surface. The United States does 'i not wish to have any battleship too large to go through the Panama canal. | Before the present conference was convened and the armament race was | at its height, there was talk of a 50,000 < ahd 60,000-ton battleship to be built i by Japan. This would have been met by the construction of American bat-11 tleships of equal size, but these ves-11 eels would have been valuable to the United States only in the Pacific, 'h where they would have had to be kept i most of the time. i American naval policy, at least for the present, contemplates a fleet divided between the Atlantic and Pacific, and one of the chief values of the canal is that strategetically it , gives the United States great defensive strength. The disadvantage of J having vessels in the Pacific which ^ must round Cape Horn was conspicu- ( ously Illustrated when "Fighting Bob" Evans made his memorable trip from Pacific to Atlantic waters to assist the squadrons off the Cuban coast. The Panama canal is able at pres- i ent to accommodate vessels with a displacement of only 40,000 tons. ' I Cost of City Governments.

Washington. ? Abolition of extra territorial rights in China, by which . various powers maintain their own courts for trial of their own nationals, j was agreed to in principle by the powers represented in the Washington conference on Pacific and Far Eastern affairs.

Better was generally expreoocu, uu -1 ever, that the rights could not be given up immediately in view of con-1 ditions, but that the abolition should come as promptly as compatible with the present situation and progress of China. The committee, upon reaching the ' general agreement, authorized the appointment of a sub-committee headed by Senator Lodge, of the American delegation, to present the principle in i the concrete form of a resolution.
