Lowell. Mass, April 8.--A body OF
police officers marching in solid front
from curb TO curb drove 1000 noisy
Greek mill workers through the strests
of Lowell for nearly a mile and pro
vented what might have developed In
TO riot. growing out Of the return TO

WORK BEGUN ON
PANAMAlCANAL
Operations Now Are Costing
the United States About
$1,000 a Day
TO STUDY THE LABOR QUESTION

Washington, April S.-Mr Cromwell.
counsel for the Panama Canal Com
pany. and Admiral Walker called at the
state department to talk to Secretary
Hay about the work of the sub-com-
mittee which is to visit the isthmus to
appraisc the value OF the work the
company is now doing on the canal.
1t was reported to the secretary that
the comnnny now employs 100 engi-
neors. aaaut 45 medical officers and
about 1.5g0 iaborers and foremen on
the canal. These are nearly all at
work in tha Culebra cut Five thou
sand dollars q oay is q modest estimate
Of the money which the United States
will be expected TO pay the canal COM
paly for coatinuing this work, and it
IS now suggested that the payments
may da;eibacA 10 the last report OF tho
canal commission.
Admiral Walkers estimate of the
number OF mcn TO BE- employed on the
Panama Canal when the United States
formally shall have entered upon the
project IS 10000. For ell practical pur-
poses, this Covernmont now is engaged
In the construction OF the canal. Under
the agreement signed on March 3 by
Secretary IL. and Mr.. Cromwell. the
American representative OF the new
Panama Canal Company. the work Of
construction was to be continued by
the canal company until the exchange
Of ratifcatlons of the canal treaty. with
the understanding that the United
States should pay for such construc-
ton work.
One Of the purposes Of the visit to
the isthmus soon to be made by a
subcommittee Of the present canal
commission Is to study the labor ques-
ton as it relates to tho construction Of
the waterway, vita a view OF ascertain
ing source from which an additional
labor supply may be obtained. The
local labor supply is insufficient to
meet the demand. 1t is probable, there
fore. that laborers Will DO drawn by
the thousand from the Southern states
and the islands OF the West Indies.
AS the labor supply is controlled large
" by companies organized for tha pur-
pose, It Is quito likely that many Chi
neso and Japanese laborers Will DO i'm
ported for work on tho canal They
are excellent workmen and arc pecu-
liarly fitted by nature for work OF that
kind and in that climate

WARSHIPS IN READINESS.
Powers Alarmed by Growing Disorders
In Turkey.

Paris. Sept Sit Is authoritatively
stated that in view Of the growing dis
orders In Turkey a French fleet will
be ordered to hold itself In readiness
to proceed to Turkish waters. This
determination followed the receipt Of
o report from the French ambassador
at COnstantinople that II was desir-
able to have ships In readiness for all
eventualities.
Similar preparations have been
made by Italy. Austria. Russia and
Great Britain. The officials here ex-
pect the fleets will act together in
case OF crisis.
The first autumn meeting Of the
cabinet was held during the day. For
eign Minister Delcasse reviewed the
Turkish situation.
There is reason to believe that M.
Delcasse has been Informed that the
United States government does not
attach further Importance to the Bel
rut incident, but this does not abate
official interest In the future course OF
the American warships.
The French consul at Monastir re-
ports that the conditions there have
improved.
The consul OF France at Salonica
says the conditions at that port are
much worse.
