Oct. 5 The offi cers of the Isthmian Canai commlssdun are busily engaged In examining the proposals r'Ccnlly submitted by contracting firms for furnishing Chlnexe labor for work on the canal at Panama. Because of .the peculiar conditions surrounding the Importation ami employment of aliens In this work, compli cated in part by the adjustment of some In ternational features which probahly will arise, several weeks must necet-gjrily elapse before any conclusions are reached and the contract awarded.. Some doubt Is expressed whether con traclois will be able to carry out any con tract which may be awarded for supplying coolie labor. Preferably because of cli matic conditions the Isthmian commission desires that any laborers sent to tho isth mus shall come from the southern prov lnces of China. In that section reports re ceived at the Chinese legation show that not a single Chinese newspaper favors the emigration of Chinese to Panama, as the experiences of those who -went there for the French Canal company are still fresh In the minds of the people. The Chinese were unable to withstand the conditions then existing and It Is said that about T5 per cent of those who went there died. This mortality was due largrly to the unhealthy sanitary surroundings then prevailing pn the Isthmus, which, however, have been vastly Improved under the American administration of affajrs. Petitions from Chinese residents In Peru, San Francisco end at Panama have ben sent to the government at Peking asking that it refuse its sanction to any proposi tion to allow contract laborers to go from 7 e- aan Central Grocery and EUJeaf iMarkef BOTH 'PHONES 24.

Thus far, however, the Chinese authorities have remained entirely pussive In the matter and have not mails any representations to the Vnlted States. 8everal years ago the Chinese were, sounded by the State department aa to their attitude with respect to sending coolie labor to Panamu, to which a pollle but unfavorable reply was received. Since the present situation has arisen, however, no representations have been made by the State department to the Chinese govern ment on the subject In any form. The suRgestlon has been made that If the Chinese government Interpose an ob jection to permit the departure of coolies fnr labor on the Isthmus the contractors as sn sltematlve may resort to the Philippine Island or to the Strnly Settlements, over which the Chinese government bus no Jur isdiction for laborers. An? contracts for furnishing coolie labor which may be drawn by the Isthmian C nal rommlaxton will, before being executed, be submitted to the State department for Inspection with a view lo avoiding any pos sibility of.
