Shont. the chief of live Isthmian Canal
commission, wan tho principal speaker at
a Joint meeting of the American Hardware
Manufacturers' association and the Na
tional Hardware association at the New
Wlllard tonight. There was a large at
tendance of members of both associations, j
by tiom Mr. Shouts was given a hearty j
reception as he entered the hall. President j
Julius lilrge of St. Louis, called the j
assemblage to order and Vice President
Henry B. I.tipton of Pittsburg. Introduced
Mr. flhonts.
.Preliminary Work I nder Wmr.
Mr. Shonts devoted his Introductory re
marks to a detailed account of what the
commission has done towards rendering
conditions at the Isthmus so that Ameri
cans can live there. The great task of
cleaning up Panama and Colon, removing
the accumulated filth of ages and providing
a water supply, sanitary sewerage system
and otherwise making then cities fit to live
In. The construction of wharves and docks
for ths unloading of material, the prepara
tions for housing the thousands of men
who will be employed on the work, the
commissary arrangements and all the mul
tifarious details of getting ready for the
stupendous task, were outlined. Mr. Shonls
went on:
While all this necessary work was In
firogress the task of purchasing, forward
ngnd distributing the enormous quantity
of materials and supplies of all kinds was
receiving our constant and most careful
attention. The purchases Included not only
the items entering Into the permanent plant,
' but also those required for the preliminary
work. To lve yim all Idea ot the magni
tude of these purchases I will read for
ou the principal Items:
Sixty-one steam shovels. l,3no fiatcars, 12
rapid unloaders, 22 unloading plows, 13 earth
spreaders, uumpcars, Yi nosiing engines,
J) locomotives, 5.11)0 tons of steel rails,
J3.0no crosstlrs, 12,000 pieces of piling. 14 uir
oompresslng machines, 3 cranes. 152 rock
drills. 30,00f.000 feet lumber (approximately),
I dipper drednes. 6-W.OO0 pounds blasting
powder. 617.B00 pounds dynamite, 1,
paving brick. 3.5"0,000 building brick, 5U).u00
square feet rooting tile. So, barrels cement
(approximately), 3 steel water tanks and
towers, 12 standplpes, 3 ocean steamships.
The approximate total cost of our pur
chases was about $H,OftO,00O. It should be
borne In mind that at the time when orders
for most of these items were placed the
Industries of the United States were
crowded with domestic business and were
unable, consequently, to make prompt deliv
eries. . It should be borne In mind, also,
hat after machinery had been manu
factured here and set up. It had to be taken
apart, shipped 2,000 miles over steamship
lines already taxed to their full capacity,
and on arrival on the Isthmus had to be
aaln set up .before ready for use. Then,
too, on account of many reports as to the
firevalence of yellow fever on the isthmus,
t wss very difficult at a critical time for
concerns furnishing material to get steam
ers to take it there, because of fear that
their crews might become Infected nnd
their vessels might be quarantined when
they wished to return to the United States.
Finally, the steamers of the United Fruit
line from New Orleans, which had been
carrying a considerable amount of the
freight going to the isthmus, were put out
nf service .on account of yellow fever in
that city.
Red Tape la Way.
To the various causes of delay mentioned
Is to be added the requirements of law
that all bids for materluls used In govern
ment work shall be advertised for. This
compels a delay In all cases of from ten
to thirty days.
Furthermore, In addition to the purchases
for tho canal, the following have been or
dered for the Panama railroad: Five hun
dred box curs of forty tons each, twelve
caboose cars, ten refrigerator cars, six
passenger roaches, twenty-four locomotives,
two wrecking cranes, one locomotive crane,
one pile driver, three track scales of 100
tons each, ons modern coal hoisting plant

In regard to all equipment purchases, both
for the rannl .md the rsllroad. It should be
stnted mat the khuk f the Panama rail
road being wliier than the Mandnrd gauuo
in the United fttes made It impossible to

tit" isthmus wo hail to contend not only
with tlie lack of terminal facilities nnd
rrif chanii-nl appllinecs already mentioned,
but aim with an inadequate equipment wltn
which to distribute it to Its destination nr
tl.e force to handle It. These ..hstaelf s have
beep largely surmounted. The elimination
of yellow lover and the establishment of
better systems of housing and feeding the
employes hsvo enabled us to recruit our
working forces till IIiofp assigned to the
uiMterl.il and supply division now number
ocr 2.1"0 men.
What Has Been Done.
t hive so far, gentlemen, endeavored to
give you an Idea of the difficulties which
we have had to encounter and overcome In
order to make the Isthmus a place fit to
work in, and to collect the tools with which
to work. Bo far as actual excavation and
dredging nre concerned, we have not en
deavored to accomplish much. As a general
principle. In whlcn I think you will all
concur, It Is Inadvisable to attempt to run
a railroad before the tracks are laid. We
are now working, however, six steam
phovels In Cub bra cut, which Is the largest
single factor In the construction of the
canal, and have removed approximately
l.nnu.fian cubic yards of material. By this
work we are accomplishing two things.
First, we are putting tlie levels of the rut
in proper condition for the installation of
the largest nuinter of machines which can
be effectively operated; and, second, we are
gathering data which will be useful In
future estimates of the cost of canal con
struction. In the Culebra work 2.0 men
are now employed. We are also building
railway tracks and yards, and are dredging
at both ends of the canal, so far as advis
able until the question of type of canal Is
decided. It should be understood that all
the work we have done Is applicable to any '
tyre of canal.
The question of labor is a grave and I
perplexing one. We have advanced far '
enough to know that we can secure a I
sufficient supply or laoor rrom tne tropics,
so far as numbers are concerned. The
question of quality Is a very different
matter. Unless a much greater efficiency
can b developed than is secured at pres
ent, we shall hae to look elsewhere.
Probably I can best convey to you a Just
estimate of the quality of this labor by
relating on incident which came under the
observation of Senator Millard during his
visit on the Isthmus: flitting on the deck
of the steamer Havana, he waa watching
the unloading of a heavy piece of ma
chinery from the hold of the vessel. The
tackle got caught in the rigging on the
deck above: t ie foreman in charge of
the gang of laborers sent one of thera
above to free the tackle. The "laborer
went to the place to which he was sent,
and did what he was told to do. The fore
man, paying no attention to him after he
started on his errand, missed him a few
minutes later, and, looking around for
him, discovered him sitting peacefully at
the post to which he had been sent. "What
are you doing there?" yelled the foreman.
you toid me to come here, san. ' "Well.
why didn-t you come back?" "You didn't
tell me to, sah."
It is to this class of labor that we are
paying from 80 to SO cents per day In
gold, and out of which it Is estimated
we do not get more than 25 per cent of
the efficiency of labor In the United
States. This is the kind of labor to
which we nre compelled to apply the'
eight-hour law that Is. to aliens who
know nothing of the laws existence un
til they arrive on the isthmus. Such ap
plication will Increase the labor cost of
canal construction at least 25 per cent..
nu win aaa many millions unnecessary
to the total expenditure.
Canal Will Be Built.
That is the story, gentlemen, of what
we have been doing on the isthmus. In
line wltn this, let me add that Chief En
gineer Stevens is preparing three com
plete sets of plans applicable to (is many
types of canal, so that when decision shall
have been reached as to what type will
be used, no delay In beginning work will
ensue. It is our confident belief that by
July 1 next the plant as purchased will
be Installed and working to its fullest
practical capacity; In other words, by
inai time me airt win begin to fly in
earnest.
1 he canal will be built rent fun'ri of
that and It will bo built at Panama. Those
two phases of the problem have passed ir
revocably from the field of debate. There
is an inaustrious and voluble band of hired
Ananluses moving to and fro .In the lan.t
whose mission It is to deny this. The bur-
ueu or men- song is: "i no cunal win never
be built at Panama, and everybody con
nected with the enterprise, including the
president, and commissioners, and engi
neers, is convinced of It." You can hear
the members of this band chanting their
song, singly and In chorus, wherever -men
congregate, and wherever a few reporters
are gathered togethor. They are rehears
ing for tho grand burst of noise when con
gress shall have assembled. When they ure
noi rpiiearsiug tncy are putting the words
of their song Into bogus interviews and
cither written forms of newspaper publica.
tion, which they are Bunding forth bv
thousands from their bureau of publicity fn
this and other cities. As one contemplates
the output of this singular Industry, this
factory of fiction, he Is moved to av of It
guiding spirit, as Shakespeare says of Cap-
n,n jjinimiii, fn- win no wiin sucn volu
bility, sir, that you would think truth
a fool."
Railroads Oppose President.
Who Is canltallzlnir thin (nrinativ? Whut
Is the bountiful source of tills spoutiDb'
spring of mendacity? Is It to be found
among the friends of an isthmian canal?
Are these supplying funds for the suste
nance or such a campaign of misinforma
tion? What Interests, except those fool
ishly dreading the competition of an Isth
mian canal, would put up money to deluy
and possibly defeat Its construction? That
there are interests of that kind is not a
matter of suspicion or speculation, but of
history. They have been fighting a canal
for more than half a o.enturv, and they
fought it successfully till Theodore Roose
velt, armed with his "big stick." appeared
as its champion. From thai moment their
efforts have been powerless, but they have
noi yei niscovered tne fact. They are
wasting their energies and their cnh tnr
behind Theodore Roosevelt stand the
American people in solid mass and with de
termlned front, shouting as one man:
"Give us a canal that will be adequate to
meet the demands of the commerce of the
world, and give It to us at the earliest pos
sible moment." That, gentlemen, is the
command which the commission, under the
Inspiring lead of the president. Is obeying
to the letter. We are building the "Roose
velt canal."

service of the department of agriculture,

SOUTHERN STATES CONVENTION
Quarantine nnd Immigration Will Be
Disrassed by People at Chat
tanooga Meeting.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Nov. . "Almost
Sou delegates, representing fourteen south
ern states, faced Governor John I. Cox
today when he called together the confer
ence on quarantine and immigration. Pres
ent nt the opening session were the gov
ernors of Tennessee, Mississippi. Louisiana.
North Carolina. South Carolina and Vir
ginia. Senators J. B. Frailer and Stephen Mai
lory of Florida, eighteen congressmen from
the southern slates. Surgeon General Wy
man of the marine hospital service and
other prominent medical authorities were
also in attendance.
Governor Cox, in calling the convention
to order, explained the object of the gath
ering to be to prevent the coming to the
south of the pauper and criminal classes
from Kurope. which now are flooding the
went and northwest. Also to provide for
uniform legislation by the southern states
which should have the approval of national
congress and thus have the force of con
stitutional law, so that a cltlzrn going to
any part of the south In times of epidemic
should know exactly what conditions he
would meet.

Hoth Count Witte and the emperor have

has been removed from the powerful posi
tion which he occupied that of governor
general of St. Petersburg and assistant
minister of the Interior, and Russia's pre
mier has agreed to Immedlalo universal
suffrage.
Count Wltte has been fully aware of the
intense hatred General Trepoff's retention
In office was causing, but he never ques
tioned the sincerity of the governor gen
eral's co-operation In the Introduction ot
the. new regime. Nevertheless, he recog
nized the necessity of Trepoff's removal,
nnd the governor general himself agreed
that only his retirement would appease the
popular wrath. The final obstacle was the
emperor, who had come to believe that
Trepoff alone was able to safeguard the life
of himself and family, but his majesty at
the last yielded on the condition that Tre
poff should become commandant of tho
palace, succeeding tho late Lieutenant Gen
eral Hesse, where his sole duty will be to
tako measures to protect the life of the
emperor. The position of governor general
of St. Petersburg ends with Trepoff's re
tirement, but the place of commander of
the Imperial Guard has been assumed by
Grand Duke Nicholas.
I'nlreraal Suffrage Granted.
The series of consultations which Count
Wltte has been holding with constitutional
demands, nnd even with the representatives
of the conservative wing of the remstvolsts,
convinced him that It wss useless to hold
out longer If he was to continue seeking to
secure the sympathy of the parties of the
renter. He therefore practically promised
an immediate extension of the suffrage to
Include all classes of the population. The
suffrage in the cities will be direct and
among; the peasants Indirect through a
single set of electors. Even upon these
conditions, however, the constitutionalists
late last night decided definitely not to hold
office In the present ministry. They take
the high position that the ministry is only
temporary, lasting until the national cs
sembly or constituent assembly meets, and
they refuse to accept office until it is dem
onstrated that they have the support of the
minority.
Prof. Nillukoff. In explaining their posi
tion to Count Wltte advised the latter to
take a ready-made constitution like that
of Belgium to Peterhoff and Insist that the
emperor promulgate It. Dmitri Shlpoff,
Michael Btakovloh and M. GuichkolT were
present when Prince Troubetskoy informed
Count Wltte that In deference to the wishes
and program of his colleagues It was im
possible for him to take the portfolio of
education.

German company under Prince von Hohen-
hohe, a nephew of the former chancellor,
Is making extensive improvements in the
Island and sought to secure land claimed
by a British coaling company which has a
contract for the British admiralty to coal
warships. . Portugal directly and Great
Britain, indirectly, opposed the German
acquisition of the lands, thus bringing on
a controversy. Herr Kermintss, the Ger

been no ultimatum but it is understood
he Intimated his Intention to depart unless
the German position was upheld.

Broken Bow and Mason City Tie.
BROKEN BOW. Neb.. Nov. ".-(Special
Telegram.) The first real game of foot
ball of the season occurred here today on
the North Bide grounds between Broken
riow and Mason ctty. resulting in a tie, tne
score being 6 to 6. A large crowd was
iresent. During the game Robinson or the

next Thursday at Mason City.
Sporting; Brevities.
The state championship game between
Bcllevue and Doane will be played Satur
day at Bcllevue according to schedule.
There was some talk of postponing the
game until Thanksgiving day, but this has
fallen through.
Booth seems to hare made a wise change
when he put Benedict in the quarterback
position, for he was a sort of a failure at
end on the defensive and being an older
head at the game, will succeed at quarter.
He can kick better from the position of
quarter than from the end. which required
more of a change ot position.
Socker foot ball is under discussion at
many of the eastern colleges and the col
lege which has a weak rugby team and
which is not in the habit of winning games
is almost invariably In favor of the socker
game, while the college or university which
has a winning team is apt to be opposed to
the game.
Booth is holding , the- Mountaineers from
Colorado In wholesome respect for the
game with the Cornhuskers at Lincoln
Saturduy. ColoraOuiwoa last year by the
score of 8 to 0. Colorado beat the strong
Kansas team two eeke ago, 15 to 0, and
is reported to be in' perfect condition. Rain
during last week lias made the gridiron
unfit for practice ' and the players have
been taken to the experimental station dur
ing the week for practice.
Missouri Valley's foot ball team will be
the opponent of the Omaha High school
team ut Sprague street park Saturday
afternoon. The game with Council Bluffs,
which was to have been played last Sat
urday, but was postponed because of the
pouring rain and wet grounds, will be
played November 18 at the Lake Manawa
grounds. Considerable rivalry always has
existed between these two teams and the
rooters will be out, in force to help their
favorites.
W. A. Rourke has gone to Colorado,
where he will buy a lew steers to feed at
Grand Island, and in the meanwhile base
ball matters will I emu In In 'statu quo. The
magnates decided to have a six-club league
during the coming season. Duncan of Sioux
City announced there probably would be
eight clubs In the league, but this is wrong.
It would cost 17.000 or $8,000 for the West
ern league to acquire the franchises In the
towns of Wichita and Topeka, and this, It
is thought, would hardly pay for such small
towns.
Doane has decided to. take on the Omaha
Commercial collegu team for the Thanks

take the plaoe of the Crelghton, which has
disbanded lor tne season. I lie commer

Crelghton was announced Manager Arnold
bestirred himself to get the game for his
team. The commercial college has won
nearly all of Its games this fall and it will
be known after Saturday whether Doane is
the state champion. The game should be
of considerable interest-

LIFE AND PROPERTY BARELY ESCAPE
F.nalt.eer Has Presrnre of Mind lo
Steer It Into Pile nf Fund
and Rock nnd
lamps.
A ten-ton road roller belonging to the !
I Barber Asphalt Paving company broke !
loose on a steep grade on Davenport street
near Twenty-first Thursday morning and
for a brief period it looked as thrtugh It
was going to take much real and per
sonal property with It In a swift Journey
to the Missouri river.
The presence of mind of the engineer
sent the big hulk crashing Into a pile of
sand and rock in Twentieth street. There
was much life and motion In the vicinity
when the roller started down hill nnd the
engineer found he could not check It.
The roller was packing paving material
on Davenport street and was crunching
up the grade when a pinion snapped under
he strain and annihilated any check on
the bevel gearing. Gravity did the rest.
Pavers Barely Escape.
The pavers were soaking their shovels
and Irons in the" firepan of the roller and ;
hen the machine started to back up they
were badly frightened and yelled loudly
n getting out of the way. A little further
down the street a wagon with horses at
tached got in the way of the roller 'and
was carried along for some distance. At
the corner of Twentieth street the engi
neer took a vote with himself, found a
lack of confidence existed, threw the
teerlng gear over and Jumped. The roller
was turned into Twentieth street on

menace to bealth. They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution hy
draining the system of its very life fluids, and those afllicted with one of
these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after
another fails. They patiently apply Palves, v.ishes, plasters, etc., but in
