GIGANTIC OBST AGES TO OVERCOME First C.reat Tank Is In Hk the Entie fit I'lnrr for Amrrlmni to Lin, WASHINGTON'. Nov. 9.-Theodorn r. 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 GORDON FURS ttmmn, tm, wi mm muM, rr. mw, rat FUR NECKWEAR AND MUFFS D UMAS FILS has a man in one of his plays say, "All women look well in furs."' He may have meant any sort of furs, but when the man says it in the play he slips on the woman's shoulders a piece of , fur neckwear some thing of the style of the Gordon k Ferguson scarf shown in this picture. Gordon Furs are made into neckwear and muffs in many styles and sizes. In many sorts of furs. Most women have a decided idea of their own as to the fur best suited to their style. If yon are in doubt, then Mink is the best fur to settle on this season. Mink has a right to its vogue; no fur more dur able and serviceable, no fur more beautiful.

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 ue scemd-hand rolling stork of imy kind; nil locomotive nnd Ciirs hail, therefore, to he built to order. After the supplies reached 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." Uifford Pinchot, the chief of the forestry service of the department of agriculture, made an address along forestry lines. 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.

TREPOFF WALIS THE PLANE Witt and Cm Make Aiothtr Cticeuioi U Popular Dtmand. UNIVERSAL SUFf R Gt IS GRANTED Constitutionalists Deride ot to Take risers In Cabinet I ntil After Merlins of the Ifw Na tional Assembly. ST. PKTERSBURO. Nov. 9. 3:50 p. m Hoth Count Witte and the emperor have nnln nnAfli.v .niTon.lnr CI f ni.rn 1 TfftrtnfF 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.

Tho trouble is ended and order has been re stored. GERMANS AT WORK AT MADEIRA Operation of Company Claiming; Brit ish Land Causes Uneasiness. LISBON. Portugal, Nov. 9. The develop ment of the island of Madeira by Germans is causing a sharp diplomatic incident. A 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 man charge d'affaires, declares there has been no ultimatum but it is understood he Intimated his Intention to depart unless the German position was upheld. MIKADO CONGRATULATES KING Russian Prisoners at Port Arthur Will Be First to Go Home. I TOKIO. Nov. .

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 lome team and Anderson of Mason City were badly bruised and forced to retire from the field. The tie will be played oft 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 giving day game at Vinton street park, to take the plaoe of the Crelghton, which has disbanded lor tne season. I lie commer cial college team had an open date on Turkey day and when the disbanding of Crelghton was announced Manager Arnold bestirred himself to get the game for his team.

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 another down grade and proceded to eat up two lengths of paving. Then the big pile of sand and rock, belonging to a sidewalk contractor, was encountered. As the roller swung very low It was checked. due to the craftiness of the engineer. Little damage was done, considering the circumstances and other rollers took up the work that the ten-toiiucr had been doing. A few years ago an engineer let one of Hugh Murphy's rollers get away from him on a down grade. There was a big smash up, masses of hissing steam and the engi neer Is running yet, so far as anybody knows. AFFLICTION MARS MIRTH Severe Attack of Appendicitis of Me.

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 ppite of all these the sore refuses to heal and cats deeper into the surround ing flesh, destroying the tissues and prowin j to be a festering, inflamed and angry mass. The source of the trouble is ia the blood. This vital fluid ia filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with snch treatment; the most they can do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind it.
