from the records that this local action had
been taken subject to the approval of Con-
gress, and that until Congress did so APP
prove it the railroad was unauthorized to
enter the park space. Thus Congress as
sumed sole responsibility for the donation
or loan of the park lands.
A Long Struggle.
review of the discussion leading to this
result demonstrates the Importance of the
work that has been done by The Star, not
only in constantly keeping before Congress

of the problem that would not prove to be
a makeshift but should settle the question

would stand on the banks and look at us without moving. Mir. Wilcox would talk to the women for few minutes, and then, when they found out that we did not mean to kill them, the men of the camp would come struggling back and then line up to have their pictures taken. We found that these Indians were ready to fight white men on sight because of their bad treatment by the French.
 'The one thing that struck me was the valuable machinery which lined the banks, rusting, without care. I cannot understand why these things were not properly cared for, because they were not properly cared for. because they were worth millions of dollars. After making our way up the canal five or six miles more, We stopped for lunch above little native town called Bocom That was quaint little place, with a number of banana plantations near, and the natives crowded around our boat as if they had never before seen a naphtha launch. The women and children would ask questions by the hundreds. There was not one of them who could understand English"
 Did you find plenty of water in the canal?" was asked.
 Why, yes" replied Capt. Coales; "the trouble will be if they make it a ship canal there will be too much wa ter. They will have to build dams at va rious points of the Chagres river. Very often our Jamaica darky would push the steam launch over bar and then for half mile there would be from 15 to 20 feet of water I am for the Panama route for the canal, although from. a scientific standpoint I don't know very much about such matters. z. - %.s
 After lunch we went on up the canal and near the end found many of the In- dians wild. We could not get near them at all,, and if we started to make landing near any of the plantations we were warned that trouble was brewing. They don't need much to eat, and they don't wear anything, so it pretty easy for them to get along A banana tree will bear one bunch of bananas, which they sell to the traders for few coins.
 ''We investigated the canal about IS miles, and then we landed at what is called Culebre Cut. Here we saw a thousand men at work merely to keep the title of the canal for the company The Frenchmen hope some time to get large sum of money for their rights.

ed 5000 bail, which the defendant was unable to furnish.
 There came near being a serious riot at the William A colliery this after noon. Charles A. Brown, mining en- gineer, was on his way to the mine when a number of strikers, foreigners, began calling him names and, it is said, one of the men also threw stone Brown pulled his revolver and threat ened to shoot.
 This angered the foreingers and the engineer fired his revolver in the air. This attratced the attention of the guards behind the barricade at the col fiery who fired into the air and the foreigners fell back.
 Brown was arrested and taken before Burgess Burlington, followed by large crowd of angry Italians. The police say they found four revolvers on Brown. It was plainly evident that the engineers life was in danger if he remained in the place long and the burgess after hearing some evidence placed the de- fendant under $5, 900 bail. Being unable to furnish it he was ordered removed to the county jail. His counsel will ask the court for habeas corpus hear ing tomorrow.
 The first break in the ranks of the striking firemen occurred this after noon when three former employees of the Kingston Coal company applied for work and were given their old places. Three firemen who went out at the Pine Ridge mine of the Della ware & Hudson Co.,. at Miners mills, al- so requested that their old places be given to them.
 Since the strike of steam men was inaugurated on June large number of engineers and pumpmen nave gone back to work, but the firemen remained firm. The officers of the Stationary Firemen's association stated tonight that they attach no significance to few of their number returning.

about the trip. because We were told that Indians near the end of the canal were very wild. The alcaide told us we
 had better carry on our launch the American and English flags. We rig ged the American flag at the stern and the English flag at the bow, and at 10 o'clock one pleasant morning started from Colon.
 ''I forgot one member of the crew. He was a big Jamaica darky six feet three inches. Before we got through the journey he was the most valuable of the crew. Capt. Smith took the helm and Wilcox looked after the engine, and I kept weather eye out. Around a small point not far from Colon there is the mouth of the Chagres river, which crosses and recrosses the canal. It lass at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 18th of April when we rounded the point
 which has been made partly solid ground by hundreds of tons of good machinery thrown in ther to make land. Poor old man De Lessons never knew how he was being fooled.
 "Cocoanut trees in plenty were grow ing out of the soil heaped up on the broken machinery, and in plain sight was what all the people down there call De Lesseps palace I never saw such queer foundation for a palace in all my life. There were boilers, hoisting en- zines, locomotives and valuable ma chinery worth hundreds and thousands of dollars thrown in heap to make a foundation for a house. Imagine a solid kzf rt1n nf s-k<. .rs1 height, with 50 rooms, and so built that the large windows and doors could be opened to let the breezes through-large verandas, and all around banana and cocoanut trees. and you have in your mind the picture which we saw.
 We visited the De Lesseps mansion It was In charge of a keeper, and he showed us the large offices. all the sil- Verware, the books and furniture, and the household things just as they were left 19 years ago by the owner. The mouth of the Panama canal is about half mile in width and on either shore there is low shrubbery. We found a depth of over 20 feet of water at this point. On both banks could be seen all kinds of derricks and machinery ly- ing partly in the water
 As we journeyed up the river in the launch the tropical trees met overhead, and 1t was not long before we were in the jungle. Banana plantations could be seen about mile apart. The first Indians we met were friendly, and they talked to MT. Wilcox in their Spanish Indian jargon
 We came to places in the canal where the banks had been washed down so that there was only depth of foot of water. Our Jamaica darky would go overheard, put his shoulder against the stern of the launch. and shove it across the sandbar 200 or 300 feet. Then he came in handy when we wanted to go ashore. He would pick us up in his arms one after another and wade ashore without any apparent effort.
 "As we went up the river the Indians became more wild. They would peer out from the jungle, and as soon as they saw us, would scatter as If we were go- ing to kill them. One strange thing was that the women never ran. They

The Culebre Cut is about the only high part of the route across the isthmus- The whole distance of high ground through which the canal would have to be cut is about five miles, and earN would have to be taken out to depth of 100 to 150 feet to allow large ocean steamers to get through.
 At the Culebre Cut we saw 1000 loco motives of good type ready to work. Most of these were in as god condition as any ever saw and many. of them never had had steam up."-New York Times.

Story of a Recent Voyage of Inspee-
 A trip through part of the Panama canal in a naphtha launch was a feat of amateur explorers under the guid- ance of Capt. William Coales of New York. Tt was a great canal trip, and one did not expect to take" said Capt. Coales yesterday. "I saw more queer sights than were ever set down In the reports made to the governments of the various countries interested in the isth- milan canal problem. We saw wild na- tives, crocodiles and in the jungle on either side of the canal the tropical growth was just crowded with cranes and large herons, all of beautiful piunl- age
 'The way we came to make the trip was peculiar: Fifty years ago I went on journey around Cape Horn to San Francisco. We went in 8 clipper, and 1t took over three months. I thought on the 50th anniversary of that trip that I would go down and cross the isthmus and then come up to San Francisco. I went on the steamer OriZaba in April, and when veg ot to Colon I met some young fellows, and in talking about sea trips, one of them said: Why there is an old naphtha launch belonging to Wardlaw. Say we rig it up and take a trip up the Panama canal
 T know something about naphtha launches because have been tinkering around that kind of machinery for years We got out the launch, and af- ter fussing around for couple of hours got it working. Then the question came as to who were to make up the party Robert Wilcox, who is engaged in business in Colon offered to go His business is trading with the Indians. He knows their jargon like book. Henry M. Shearer, who is in business in Cali, Colombia, was also of the party. Capt. Smith of the Orizaba also wanted to join the expedition; then we took along the purser, MT. Spence, and he took half ton of ice and many other good things.

VIII Not Recognize hIins Workers.

Charleston, W. Va, July 2.-At we'll attended meeting of Kanawha coal op- orators held here to-day at which sug gestions of President Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad were dis cussed resolutions were adopted as fol- lows:
 We will not recognize the organiza- tion known as the United Mine Work CTS of America, believing as we do, that the recognition of the order would injure seriously the interests of the op- orators and miners of West Virginia.
 That the recognition of the United Mine Workers of America being the real and only issue involved in the present strike, we declare that the same is not a proper subject for arbitration an dwe will not arbitrate that issue"
 President Stevens did not urge the reorganization of that recognition but did want some agreement reached.
 John A. Richards, president of this district, and seventeen mine workers were here to-day and had Il long con- ference with the governor, but nothing was given out. The subject of the con- ference was over the governors idea as to the extent of authority of the state courts to issue injunction. He of- ficially declares that the miners will not agree to arbitration. ,3
 wiIi Not Sanction Strike.
 Louisville, Ky, July 2.-The Courier Journal tomorrow will say: The Unit ed Mine Workers of Kentucky will not sanction the calling of ympathetic strike. Reliable information was ob- tained yesterday that secret vote had been taken on the matter with the re- suit that the men declared that they must regard their contracts with the operators. Word of the result ha been sent to the Illinois miners, who are un- derstood to have taken the same action. It should be remembered that the west ern Kentucky operators association and many of the operators have been in agreement with the United Mine Workers which fixes regular scale of wages and which go into effect April 1 and is renewed yearly. Thi agreement is drawn jointly and signed by the oper~ ators and likewise by the United Mine Workers officials"

Wreck on the LehigTT.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 26.-The New York and Philadelphia express on the Lehigh Valley leaving here at 3:05 in the afternoon had a narrow escape from destruction. The train was made up of two engines, express, baggage, three day coaches and three Pullman cars. The train failed to make its time climbing the steep mountain grade, and on a sharp curve at Newport it was run into by q local passenger train which left Wilkesbarre ten min utes after the departure of the express. The engine of the local plowed into the Pullman car on the rear end of the ex- press and partly telescoped it. Fortu- nately there were only few passen- gers in the car, and they all escaped with the exception of J. II. Hill. trav- cling man of this city, and Engineer James Mccarthy, who was badly scala ed by steam.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 26-The sem ate taxation committee has directed its chairman, Senator Hobart Krum, to amend the Krum corporation tax bill now on order of third reading i'll the senate. So many and so radical are the amendments but little remains of the original measure. which will now un- dergo it's second transformation
 The transportation, mining and man. ufacturing corporations are not affect ed by the measure, and the tax on them will remain as at present. As to business corporations, domestic or for eign, one-twentieth or more of whose assets are employed or invested ill this state it is provided that they shall pay q tax upon the same proportion of issued capital stock at a rate Of min on each dollar where the dividend is I per cent or less than 1 per cent. Where the dividend of corporation is more than 4 per cent, it shall pay one- fourth of a mill on each dollar of such portion of capital stock for each per cent of dividend.
 Where 20 per cent of assets is not employed or invested in this state, 1t shall pay tax of one-tenth of l per cent on the first S3,000,O00 of its issued capital stock, one-twentieth. of per cent on the next $2,OO0,000 of issued capital stock and $50 on each addition al million of capital stock above $5,- 100000
 The senate taxation committee has decided to report favorably the Raines bill amending the liquor tax law, known as the antisham hotel bill. It provides that hotels applying for li- censes under the liquor tax law shall comply with all the ordinances of the city or locality in which they are lo- cated and makes it mandatory for local authorities to enforce all ordinances, etc.
 Representatives of boards of super visors of a score of counties, officers of the Good Roads league and the conn- mittee appointed by the recent good roads convention appeared before the senate finance committee i'll support of an appropriation of $1,000000 for the improvements of good roads. It Is claimed that forty-one counties have arranged for the improvement of roads to the extent of $960,000, and it is de- sired that the state should appropriate an equal amount under the Higbie- Armstrong law.
