WORRY
FIGURING ON TRANSPORTS ,o..
OF CANAL SUPPLIES.
According to the General Constr.
ton of Maritime Commero,.,
Law Foreigners Are Not p.
stricted in the Carrying Traa.
to the Panama Canal.

New York, Aug. 25.-Referrinp 70
the fact that the construction Of Az
Panama canal will necessitate the
transportation of hundreds of carooes -
construction material, food supplies -.
workmen, ETC., the Journal Of Con,
merce says:
Panama and Colon are foreign norts
and there is nothing therefore to nra
vent foreign shipowners from compet.
ing at low rates for carrying material
1t is said by representative of tbo
Panama canal interests that the mater.
ial required in the. construction Of tho
canal will certainly exceed $40 900 O0o
in addition to food supplies. This ma.
terial will consist largely of cement
granite, lumber and machinery. The
lumber will undoubtedly come LARGELY
from Oregon and that section of the
country and will not be. matter Of
much concern to shipowners on the
Atlantic Ocean, but in the case Of
cement, stone and machinery the items
will be of great Importance, and com.
munications have already been sent 70
the government at Washington with
view to seeing if some way cannot be
decided upon whereby this enormous
carrying movement can be confined to
American ships 1t is proposed that
construction of the coastwise law
could be made declaring the six mile
zone ON each side of the canal to be
American territory, and this would con-
vert Panama and Colon into domestic
ports. This zone, under the treaty with
Colombia, is merely leased to the
United States, as Colombia does not
relinquish her sovereignty.
Some doubt is expressed whether the
government could assume the ports Of
Panama and Colon without incurring
national plications. Under the bill
as passed by congress no restriction Of
the carrying trade to American vessels
can be made, and American shipowners
claim that they will not be able to meet
the competition of foreign vessels in
this trade, for the reason that large
number of fruit vessels are available for
the service, largely Norwegian vessels,
which bring fruit north and have vir-
tually no south boand cargo. These
vessels would naturally be able to carry
south bound cargo at much lower rates
than could American vessels, which
must make their entire cargo expenses
on south-bound cargo and return north
practically in ballast.

COCHRAN IN DEAL
ELOQUENT NEW YORKER BACK
OF POWER.
Attorney Lamb Gives the Names of
the Men Whom He Supposed
He Really Represented in the
Merger Suit Ofthe Northern
Pacific Stockholders.

New York, Aug 22.-Lawyer George
A. Lamb, attorney for Peter Power,
went on the stand during the day and
told all he knew about the Northern
Pacific merger suit. He named the
men who, with Power as plainiff, and
Captain Henry Stern as go-between, he
said, had hoped to conceal their connec-
ton with the litigation, and keep their
identity hidden. Those he named were
w. Bourke Cochran, Camille Weiden-
field, III. Content d Co., and Edwin r.
Thomas, of the firm of Thomas d Post,
Wall street bankers and brokers.
The story of Powers wandering came
out, and q plan to send him to Europe
was revealed, as was his quasi. connec-
ton with the suit at issue. Mr.. Lamb
said that he was practically forced by
the people back of him to send Power
away, and that they paid the expenses
of his trip to Montreal. Weidentield,
Cochran and other sponsors of the Pow
er suit, Mr.. Lamb declared, feared that
Power would be broken down as wit
ness and would "give away the people
behind it" Cochran was telephoned
to for advice in his presence. Lamb
declared Cochran was one of the per-
sons for whom Lamb was given to be-
lieve ne was acting in pushing the suit,
and he was one of those who advised
Power to stay out of the courts iuris-
dition, and was ready to supply him
with funds to enable him tn do SO.
Mr.. Lamb told the story readily, as he
said he considered himself released by
the action of his clients in repudiating
him as their counsel.
Peter Power himself was on the stand
at the afternoon session. He said that
at the hest of his belief he had received
the 100 shares of stock in payment for
he use of his name. That was his sole
interest in the suit. He had been in
structed that the subpoena service was
bad, and had left New York city with
that understanding. In a measure his
testimony was corroborative of that
given by Mr.. Lamb regarding the con-
nection of Messrs. Cochran and Weiden-
field with the suit.

TAFT AT MANILA.
Civil Governor of the Philippines
Gets an Ovation.

Manila, Aug. 23.-Gov. Taft reached
here at daylight, on board the United
States gunboat Gen. Alva, from Singa-
pore, Straits Settlements. He was
welcomed with an enthusiastic popular
demonstration.
The day had been made holiday,
and the city was decorated. Eight
large arches had been erected on the
streets. Twenty thousand natives from
adjoining provinces participated in the
demonstration in honor of the govern
or's arrival. There was a parade of
vessels in the bay, and 80 decorated
craft, carrying members of the civil
commission, military officers and the
reception committee, met the Gen.
Alva in the bay and escorted Gov. Taft
to the entrance of the Pasig river. The
governor was escorted bya large process
sion to place In the walled city,
where public reception was held.
Responding to an address of welcome,
Gov. Taft outlined the progress and the
result of his negotiations at Rome in
the matter of the Philippines, and said
all church questions were progressing
toward satisfactory settlement. The
governor said the action taken by con-
gress concerning the Philippines show
ed that the American people honestly
desired to help the Filipinos. The
Americans were determined the islands
should not be exploited by Americans
at the expense of the Filipinos. Gov.
Taft predicted that eventually the arch
ipelago would have practically free
trade, and he congratulated the Fill
Pine people upon the restoration of
peace He advised the Filipinos to till
the soil and restore their country rather
than waste time in useless political agi-
tation. He promised personally to
labor for the natives, and asked for their
confidence and support
Gov. Taft was given an ovation on
the streets of the city during his passage
to the palace, and he received another
ovation at his reception.

GATES RESIGNS.
But Merely For the Purpose OF
Bettering His Position.

Denver. Aug. 22-The assignments
of Messrs. Gates, Mitchell, Blair and
Lambert as directors of the Colorado
Fuel d Iron Company, as announced by
John w. Gates, were sent to the head
quarters of the company shortly before
the time of the annual meeting, but no
action was taken by the board, as there
was no meeting thereof. 1t is the
opinion of attorneys that under the law
of Colorado, the four men named are
now out, as it is not necessary for any
further acton TO be taken on the resign
atoms The movement was made in
order for Gates and his friends to occu-
by better strategic position in the
great fight which is now under way 10
secure possession of the management OF
the company.
The Osgood management will remain
intact until an election is held, and il
the stock book is 10 be prepared before
election, as announced by Chairman Os-
good, several months may elapse.
In the meantime Mr.. Osgood and his
supporters will spare no efforts to secure
possession of a majority of the proxies
that are now held by Gates. A big
battle in the courts is expected.
1t is conceded that finally the major
ity of stock will win, and il is also con.
ceded that compromise is an impossi-
bility.

SOuthbOund Alaska Traffic Exceeds
the NOrthbOund.

Seattle, Aug. 23.-The heavy travel
from Alaska is setting in earlier this
season than usual. For the past few
weeks many more people have come
from the north than have gone to that
region on the Lynn canal liners.
The increase in the sonthbound pas
senger traffic is accounted for in
measure through the fact that in the
early spring some 600 or 500 laborers
went to Dawson expecting to find en-
ploymen on the KlondiKe Mines rail-
road being constructed by G. Hawkins
and associates. While the project is
very much alive not as much construc-
ton work has been done as was expect
ed, with the result that many were un-
able to find work and chose to return
to the states rather than face winter
on the Yukon.

KRUGER DEFIANT.
Upraids Generals for Yielding Boer
Independence.

The Hague, Aug. 2l.-The conference
at Utrecht, between the Boer generals
and Mr.. Kruger, lasted for three hours.
According to some reports it was rather
stormy. At the end of an hour and
half the delegates withdrew leaving
Generals Botha, DeWet and Delarey
together with Mr.. Kruger. Little is
publicly known as to what took place,
but it is understood that the generals
found the former president of the
Transvaal in no way inclined to ac-
Guiesce in British dominion in South
Africa, and still clinging to the
idea ola united South Africa
under the Boer flag. Mr.. Kruger
is even said to have bitterly upraid-
ed the generals for giving up Boer in
dependence. The generals returned to
The Hague.

HIOOINSON ENDS NAVAL
MANEUVERS.
Takes Commander Pil1sbury's Hos
tile ships and Knocks Several
Kinds of Tar Out of Them on
Paper---FOur Days of Ceaseless
Vigil for Warriors.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. 25-The
naval search problem on the New Eng
land coast was terminated at $40
o'clock in the morning by the signal
Surrender, unconditional, from Rear
Admiral Higginson' flagship, and the
reply, "Accept surrender from the
fore truck of the Prairie, Commander
Pillsburys flagship. The battle be-
tween the blue, or defending squadron,
and the white, or attacking squadron,
was thus quickly ended eight miles
south of Thatchers island The en-
envy had most signally failed to make a
harbor having for its objective point

A preponderance of fighting strength,
relatively "a points, represented by the
battleships Kearsarge, Alabama and
Massachusetts,, Scorpion and torpedo
boat, overwhelmed the, 40 points re-
presented by the auxiliary cruisers
Prairie, Panther and Supply To
speak from theoretic standpoint, the
white squadron was entirely destroyed
by the guns of the defendant battle
game of naval strategy was brought to
an end, it having covered a period of
unceasing toll, sleepless nights and of
an anxious and weary vigil, and of
grave uncertainty to it's participants.
The destruction of Pillsbury's squad
ron occurred at a point just within the
outer limit of Glouscester harbor, not
over eigh: miles south from Thatch-
er's island, off which had been anchor
ed, since "Wednesday, when the war
game was declared opened, the three
powerful battleships of the blue squad
ron. The surrounding and putting out
of action" of the squadron in COM
mand of Commander Pillsbury was the
eliminating incident in one of the
most exciting chapters in the peace
history of the American navy.
For the placing in operation of man
euvers of the warships off the coast of
New England, the navy had long pre-
pared itself, and had looked forward
with keen anticipation. As planned by
the naval authorities at Washington,
two squadrons were to be put into the
game, one the blue, the defending feet,
and the other, the white, to be hos
tile feet bent upon effecting an an
chorage in some unprotected harbor on
the coast from Cape Elizabeth to Cape
Cod, opposed all the time by the first
fleet. This anchorage had to be main
tanned against the defenders for period
of six hours. Commander Pillsbury's
white squadron consisted of the aux
iliary cruisers Prairie, Panther and Sup
ply. The two former boats were each
assigned twenty points of fighting
strength, while the Supply was assum-
ed to represent five points.
