FOLLOW PLAN OF U. S. STEEL
(By Associated press.l

London, Jan. 15.-Negotiatlons re-
specting the purchasing Of construction
OF the largest steel and Iron works In
England are still In progress.
John II. Bartlett, who Is organizing
the combination, declines to give any
particulars regarding what Is going on
or even to discuss the subject at all
while negotiations are pending. He con-
sders that premature announcements are
mischeyous and unfair to all interests
involved.
1t Is evident, however, that he ex.
poets to carry out the plan of consoida-
ton which he has laid before the prin-
cipal manufacturers 1t will require time
and labor as the undertaking Is an im-
mense one and cannot be pushed too
rapidly.
A series OF minor amalgama tions must
precede the final one, as was the case
when the United States Steel corporation
was accomplished. Time will be re-
qulred for working out these details. Mr..
Bartlett far from being discouraged Is
greatly encouraged, and clearly expects
to carry out his plan in the course of the
year.
There Is no connection between the
United States Steel corporation and the
proposed English combination.

TACKLE THE JOB.

New Route Now Proposed Contem-

Length Through Mountain
scheme Feasible.
tBy Associated Cress.)

New York, Jan. 15.-The plans for a
new ship canal will be presented next
Thursday before the senate committee
on canals by Gen. Edward A. Serrell
for the American Isthmus Canal COM
pany, and the Isthmus company, both
corporations of New Jersey.
The route for the canal proposed Is
from the gulf of San Bias to the Pa
cifc ocean behind the Pearl islands.
and is called the Mandigo route. 1t Will
be proposed that the company build the
work under the supervision and pro-
lection OF the government without any
cost to the United States, which Will
be asked to guarantee the bonds OF the
company.
The company will propose that the
government have the use of the canal
free OF charge for all government ves-
sells and IL at any time the company does
not do as agreed the government shall
take possession Of the canal.
The company asserts that II has Sc
cured right-of-way.
The newly suggested route is less than
80 miles long and therefore Is shorter
than any other SO far proposed
Seven Mile Tunnel.
No engineering difficulties are en-
countered, its supporters say, until spur
of the Andes Is reached. This noun
tain chain must be pierced by tunnel
seven miles long and the plans state
that it will be 200 feet high, 1SO feet wide
and deep enough for the largest vessels
which would go through the canal
The rock through which the tunnel
would be cut is said to be solid granite.
In the tunnel trolley appliance would
tow the ships. General Serrel, who is
at the head Of the project. was engineer
of the Panama railroad and has acted
as engineer for the government.
The late r. p. Rothwell, who at one
time was president of the Society Of Min
ing Engineers and editor of the Mining
Journal thought the scheme entirely
feasible and was heartily in sympathy
with it at the time Of his death.

Board of Experts Considering Plan Of
Securing Water for City From
Upper Meramec River Ninety
Miles Away.
(By Associated Press.l

Chicago, Jan. 15.-A special commits
sion Is now preparing report in Chi
cago, affirming the feasibility Of plan
to turn the water of the Upper Meramec
river into the reservoirs of st. Louis
The plan to be submitted by the en-
gineers contemplates the complete aban-
donment of the intake at the Chain of
Rocks, from which st. Louis obtains
her supply of water. The method
planned would, 1t is estimated, involve
an expenditure of $15,OO0,O0O to $40, ,0OO,-
900.
Benesett Williams of Chicago, Charles
Wissner Of Detroit and Allen Hazen of
New York. the experts, are preparing
report which will go into details as to
the construction Of proper intakes at
Upper Meramec river, 80 miles from st.
Louis, work estimated to cost two-
thirds the cost Of the Chicago sanitary
canal. 1t will be an undertaking riyaled
only by the Coroton water system of
New York.
The board of experts has been receiv-
ing reports from expert bacteriologists
and making frequent trips south to in
spect the site of the proposed water
works system.
They have found that the supply of
water In the little river Is pure. The
experts are holding daily sessions In
Chicago this week, completing their re-
port.
Though the exact details have not
been finally decided upon the engineers
assert that their recommendations call
for complete change in the water
system at St. Louis.

"JUMP FOR
YOUR LIFE"
ENGINEER J. E. SIBLE BECOMES
SUDDENLY DERANGED.
LOST HIS NERVE AND JUMPED
Fortunately Train Came to Sudden
Halt Without Injury to Passen-
gers-Sibley Was Picked
UP About Dead.
(By Associated i:ress.)


Peru, Ind, Jan. 15.-As the result Of
a strange hallucination, j. E. Sible, an
old and trusted engineer OF the Wabash
road, was fatally injured last night.
Sible was at the throttle of the big
locomotive of the limited, which was
laundering along at rate OF 40 miles
an hour. When the lights of the town
of Attica apeared the old engineer gave
q start and shouted to Burt Frick, his
fireman.: Jump for your life. Burt, the
switch is turned We'll crash into
The sentence was not finished, for in
an instant Sibe had applied the safety
brake, reversed the lever and had jumped
to escape the spectre his harassed nerves
had conjured up.
The fireman followed but was not in
jured. The train came to a stop and
Fr!ck went back to find his engineer.
The latter lay on the roadbed horribly
injured. His skull had been crushed,
an arm and leg broken his ribs fractured
and his spine injured He was carried
aboard the train.
Meanwhile an investigation showed
that there had been no danger to the
train. The signal lights Of the switch
showed an unobstructed path. Sible was
brought to hospital here, where he
managed to gasp out his story.
According to Fireman Frick, Sible had
been more or less nervous since he was
In a wreck at Lafayette some months
ago.
The passengers were shaken up by the
sudden stopping of the train, but none
OF them were injured.

Washington. Jan. 15.-When the senate
convened today Mr. Hoar, in presenting
a petition from railroad, insurance and
shipping interests praying for the con-
struction of light houses In some dam
gerous places where lightships are
located now, said that application had
been made by responsible and intelli-
gent builder to construct lighthouses at
points where government engineers had
considered 1t impracticable to build light
houses

be treated with respect.
1t was an illustration of the marvellous

Value of Militia.
A spirited discussion was precipitated
by Mr.. Hale of Maine, In respect to the
value to the country of a militia force.
In introducing some bills relating to the
organization and maintenance OF naval
reserve Mr.. Hale declared that the reli-
ance placed by some people upon the
naval reserve never would be realized.

The tobacco and other interests affected
by Cuban production also were well rep

Over-Production in Cuba.
Edwin +. Atkins of Boston made the
opening statement In behalf of reel
procdty. He spoke OF the enormous over
production of sugar throughout the
world, amounting TO about 1900, 900 tons.
which had resulted In "a crisis In the In
dustry.
European countries had met this by
bounties so that the German producer
by means of n bounty, was able TO sell
sugar at half cent per pound below
the cost of production.
Aside from the advantage of reciproc-
ity to Cuba, Mr., Atkins said II would
be of material advantage to the United
States. including n reduction OF the price
OF sugar, to the public.
Asked by Mr.. Payne II his sugar busl-
ness was profitable last year. Mr.. Atkins
said he conceded that it had been, but
general inquiry among planters showed
that they had not done a profitable busi-
ness.
