DISSATISFIED WITH HUTIN.
Dissension Reported Among the Pan
anna Canal Stockholders.

There is trouble in the directory of the
French Panama Canal Company between
that element which desires to sell the
property to the United States and those
who claim that the ditch can be COM
pleted without reference to the desires OF
this Government.
1t was learned yesterday that recently
official representations have been made to
members of the Isthmian Canal COmmis-
sion by Bruno Barilla, formerly engineer
in-chief of the old Panama Canal Com
pany. and large stockholder in the pres
ent company, to the effect that majority
Of the stockholders have become dissatis-
fed with NJ. Hutin the President The
reason assigned for their dissatisfaction
is that NJ. Hutin has put his personal in
terests ahead of those of the company.
IN order to have himself retained as
president, which position he believes will
bring him enduring fame. NJ. Hutin has,
it is said, failed TO properly enlighten his
associates in France as to the real senti-
ment of this country against the French
Panama Company. He has, il is under
stood. led them TO believe that there is
every chance of the United States enter
ing into a partnership with the French
men to complete the canal. than which. it

erroneous.
NJ. Barilla was sent here by the anti
Hutin element in the Panama directory.
He has reported the true situation. and a
majority Of the stockholders are now un-
derstood to favor making a definite propO-
sitiOu To the United States to sell out the
companys entire property on the 18TH
mus. NJ. Barillas reports have been SO
much at variance with those of NJ Hutin
that there is said to be strong probable
ity Of the latter being depOsed from the
presidency of the company.
NJ Barilla has given Admiral Walker
and other members of the Isthnian Ca
nal Commission 10 understand that NJ.
Hutin, in refusing to name to the COM
mission any price at which the United
States could secure the Panama property,
does not represent the views Of the com
pany. NJ. Barilla has indicated that the
company is not only willing to sell its
property, but realizes that the only way
In which it can ever hope to recover its
Investments is TO come to some under
standing with the 'Dft.d States

THE SUSA EXPLORATIONS.
France Publishes the Memoirs OF III.
jacques de Morgan.

PARIS, March 30-The French Govern
ment has published the first volume Of
the Memoirs of Jacques de Morgan
which deals with his explorations for the
site of the city of Susa.
NJ. de Morgan ran series of tunnels
into a mound at various levels and found
traces of FIVE distinct settlements. One
OF these he found to be the site Of the
Greco-PaTthian city, which existed be-
tween geo and POO B. c. Beneath this he
found the Persian city of the Achaemen-
ian kings, which existed between 800 and
500 Il. c.. and beneath this the older city.
which had been almost wholly destroyed
in $40 3. G..
lie proved that the city. although
wrecked, had not been totally destroyed
by the Assyrian, Asurbauipal (Asurbani-
pal-Sardauapalus). In the debris he found
a cylinder Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the Great
showing that the city had been occupied
during the Jewish captivity. Possibly
Daniel visited it. for tradition says that
he was buried there.
The Memoirs go on to say that the
discovery of brick records and charters
OF the Kassite rulers shows that this city
probably dated from the year 100 b, c., or
about the time when the Kassite rulers
conquered Bahylonia. One inscription
supplies the whole details of the Corvee
system in Babyionia.
Inscriptions of much older dates were
found in one chamber, the most import
ant Of which was a fine stele of Naram-
sin son of Sargon, who reigned in 1880
r.. c., proving incontestably the histori
cal character Of the ancient rulers. The
King is represented as wearing a horned
helmet, carrying a bow and spear, and
wearing a long beard. His cOuntenance
was of the Semitic type. He has a foot
on a dead foe, while another is falling.
wounded, while trying to draw an arrow
from mis- breast. The work is most spirit
ed.
Further down NJ de Morgan found
traces of a wooden city which bad been
destroyed by fire. This contained stone
maces, flint sickle, and handmade pot
terry. There was no metal of any kind
and no Inscriptions.
Still lower, thirty feet above the virgin
soil, there was found an older settlement
containing rude flint instruments and
pottery. The date Of the two primitive
settlements Nj. de Morgan is unable to
determine

THE FRANKFORT ARSENAL CASE
DriGgs-seabury CompHny's Defence
for Selling Guns 10 CoIombin.

The Driggs-Seabury Gun and Ammuni-
tion Company has filed a statement with
Secretary Root regarding the charges
made against ii by the American ord
nance Company. 1t was alleged that the
briggs -Seabury Company had used the
United State arsenal at Frankford for
the manufacture of guns and ammunition
for the Colombian Government The Of
hcials of the company state that they did
nothing wrong in selling guns manufac-
tured for the United States Government
to Colombia. as Admiral ONeil, Chief of
the Bureau Of Ordnance of the Navy De-
partment permitted them to do so.
The statement now in the hands Of Sec
retary Root alleges that guns delivered
to the Colombian Government We're of the
semi mi-automatic type and were manufac-
tured for the Navy Department, and in
no way interfered with the ski FOUNDER
guns 20 be manufactured for the army
On this point the statement says:
The guns sold by us to the Colombian
Government were not manufactured un-
der the army contract, but were des-
tined for the navy, being of the semi
automatic type The sale was made with
the assent of Admiral ONeiI We had
locked up in material about $4,000, and
We're paying 900 per week for labor, be
sides an additional outlay for other eX-
penses."
When seen in reference to the matter
yesterday morning. Admiral O'NelI posi-
lively denied any connection with the mat
ter and stated that he had never given the
briggs -Seabury Company permission TO
sell guns TO the Colombian or any other
Government

with the Driggs-Seabury Company was
when they used a gun for practice pur-
poses and damaged it, They asked per-
mission to replace the gun with "a new
one, and Of course ! assented.
THE guns sold to the Colombian Gov
crnment were not made for the Navy De

under the army contract, and ! therefore

Dict and Occupation.

Dr. Wylie of the Agricultural DeIart-
ment, has advocated the theory that
mans food affects his character and
qualifications to a very considerable de
gree. and that. AT some time in the fu-
ture, men may be fed with the distinct
purpose of making them inventors. or
artists, or laborers, Just as today Ger
tain foods are prescribed for race
horses, fancy breeds Of chickens. and
other special sorts Of animals.
This idea is not exactly new. j has
often been said that a man becomes
" hat ne eats" and the theory Of ro-
nance writers has always been that
persons who are ethereal, delicate, and
idealistic live on fruits and stimulants.
while the gross feeder is a man Of Igw
desires and no thoughts. The fact that
Ia real life one often finds a delicate
young girl eating enough TO support
three men, while the robust man break
fasts modestly on oatmeal. a chop, and
an egg. fails to upset the literary uadi-
don.
1t may be. however, that by proper
5iet any kind Of man may be devel-
oped 10 order TITS is the most original
scheme since Tammas Haggart con-
ceiyed the idea Of gathering all poets
into a home where they should be kept
on allowance and made TO work for
their board and clothes and not al
lowed 10 go wandering about 10 tay-
erns and other places where they ought
not 20 be- The question is whether it
could be carried out, and if il could,
what would be the effect on the com
munity.
In the first place somebody would
have TO decide how many Of each kind
OF man would be needed, and who
should be put In each class. In a rude
kind of a way, this has already been
done. The aristocrat Of other days con-
sidered himself insulted if he had 10
partaile Of peasant fare" and the
peasant sometimes liked his own black
bread and cabbage soup better than the
daindes Of the rich. The idea seemed
80 be that each, 10 be himself. should
eat the kind Of food best suited TO him.
But how. in any artificial way, could il
be decided who should be fed on the
kind Of food for poets. and who should
be made into steVedores and barbers2

Fighting With ELECTRICITY.
(From the Engineering Newsl


Electricity as q weapon in railway wIr WAS
tried in Edgewatcr. y. j.. last week. The
borough authorities sent a force OF men 10 tear
up a track laid a few days previously by rail-
way company across the River Road, near the
Fort Lee ferry house. The borough counsel de-
clare the track to be Illegally laid but when the
street commissioners force started to rip up
the rails lineman employed by the railway
company threw a coil ut wire across the over
head trolley wire and connected the ends with
the rails in dispute The result that four
laborer5 who were saving at the rails were
hurled several feet By the electric current and
the borough men were forced to stop work. The
hneman was finally arrested and after the wires
were disconnected the rail-litting resumed
and the track was renewed after some other DEM
onstTations by the railway men.
