Machines TO be Built In PhIladeI-
Phia = Terrible Mortality Among
Canal Employees.

Panama Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
Messrs. Huerne, Lynch 81 Sloven have
been awarded the contract for excavat-
ing tnat part of the Panama canal living
between Aspinwall, on the Atlantic, and
Gatsen-a distance of seven miles. The
dredges to be used will be made In Phila-
delphla, under Mr. LYnch's patents. The
firm are all Of San Francisco, and at
present hold an extensive contract for
building houses for the canal company.
The contract has been drawn out and
only awaits the SIGNATURE of Mr.. Sloven,
who is laid up with Panama fever.
The contract is for excavating G, ,O00.-
600 cubic metres "a metre is SO. 833
inches) The time allowed for the per-
fOrmance of the contract is three years.
The canal company is to pay thirty
cents gold per metre Cont actors are
to furnish security to the extent of
$50, 900 gold. The first machine is to be
at work in six months. The awarding
this contract to an American firm is q
virtual acknowledgment that the French
excavators and machinery now on the
isthmus are wholly useless. They are
rusting on side tracks.
The canal company have been very
unfortunate during their first years

nine hundred officers and men
have died-nearly all of yellow and
Panama fever, and this while doing
preliminary work. When the dredges
break up the virgin swamps that abound
then the real business of dying will COM

LONDON, March 2.-The Russo-JeWish
Committee has prepared a statement con-
frming the reports of outrages on Jews in
Russia, including many cases of murter and
rape, which the recent British Consular re-
ports discredited. The committees state.
ment is founded upon letters received from
persons occupying high official positions in
the Jewish community and upon personal
evidence of Jewish refugees. A letter from
an eminent Rabbi indicates that steps have
been taken by the Russian Government to
conceal the truth.

and in mayonnaise We have it in its most
available form; beef tea and the various
combinations of gelatine and meat can in
no way replace it as nutrients.
\ point to be scrupulously regarded in
the preparation of food for invalids is the
fact that perfectly fresh food is more di-
gestible than that which is even slightly
stale. Also undred food of any kind is
more wholesome than dried or salted va
rieties, because during. the process of dry
ing many of the valuable juices and
mineral clements are lost. Dishes made
for invalids should be of the simplest
possible character, because the combina-
tion is one dish of several articles of food
of unequal freshness gives rise to chemi-
cal changes during cooking, the varying
extent of which may induce serious phy-
steal disturbances. Even in such a SIM
pie nutrient as broth the ingredients
should be few and absolutely fresh, no
vegetables whatever being employed in
making the soup II 1t is to be kept over
night before using. Such broth, pro-
perly made. would nearly approach beef
tea in general character; its value as a
nutrient could be augmented by adding
to it. just before using it, 4 little cooked
S goi barley, or rice.
The value Of well-made thin soup
lies in the fact that some of its elements
ale absorbed directly it is taken into the

Specie Kegs.

Gold crosses the ocean much as does
every other kind of freight. The kegs in
which it is packed, specie kegs rs they
are called, are made of extra hard wood
They must have an extra iron hoop, and
their workmanship must be above the or
dinary. Specie is not thrown loosely in
to keg, nor upon the other hand is it
carefully wrapped in tissue paper and
piled one coin upon another. Kegs serve
only AS protection for canvas bags, into
which the gold is placed in the ordinary
hit-aul miss fashion of pennies in n Jersey
farmers wallet. The canvas of these bags
is especially stout and the ends are Sewed
50 00A, and ten bags fill each keg. So
that each keg which rolls out from the
rear of the Bank of America is worth the
round sum of so, 000, plus the cost oi the
cask itself and the value Of yard or tw %
of rough canvas. In the interests Of Sc
curity, each keg is treated to what is tech

''red-taping' process. At each end Of
the kes in the projecting rims of the staves
above the head, are bored four holes at
equi distant intervals \ piece Of red tape
is run through these holes, crossing on
the head of the keg; and the ends finally
meet in the centre At the point of meet
ing the tape is sealed to the keg' $ head by
hard wax bearing stamp of the shipper.
Any meddling with the keg must break
the tape or wax, and so ON the trip across
the valuable consiSnments and detect any
