WAITING ROOSEVELT'S
No Move to be Made Until prCgident
Indicates All Negotiations Are

Washington, Sept 2S-A special
agent for the Panama Canal Co, who
has been in Washington for ten days,
in order to be on hand if news of the
ratification Of the canal treaty was re
ceiyed from Bogota, returned to New
York Saturday night. 1t is believed
the canal company will not take any
action toward beginning work on the
canal until after President Roosevelt
has indicated TO the company that all
negotiations are at an end.
No fears are expressed by the canal
company agents that the Nicaraguan
route will ever be used as a canal COM
petition with the Panama route. 1t is
true that if the United States should
build the canal on the more northern
route all American boats would use it,
but it is not believed it would be
chosen by commerce.

Tons OF Red Fire Burned to Give an

Fire in 1871,

Chicago Sept 28,-Theeentennialce le-

a ton or two of red fire powder was
burned on the street corners, in the at
tempt to give a realistic imitation Of
the great Chicago fire in 1871
The connagration was not exactly
the success hoped for because Of
heavy storm which prevailed through
out the time set for the burning Of the
red fire The rain fell in torrents the
wind blew half a gale and nearly ey-
erybody save the man whose business
it was to feed the red fire, sought shell
ter indoors. Between the high wind
which blew half his powder away, and
the rain thatsoaked the balance OF it in
80 seconds, the red fire man had diff.
culties of his own. Notwithstanding
all this, however, a vast amount Of
crimson blaze was produced and the
result was fairly satisfactory

masters of inetiiciency in the service,
and their inability to exercise efficient
control over the employees Of the con
tractors.

resolutions recommending that the

and that they should be in charge OF
bonded employees of @sw>restal service.
The postmaster general has takee
the matter up, and has decided to giYs
this system a trial in some large cities
on the expiration of the current con.
tracts. If it is found that it is an in.
provement on the present system and
no more expensive, it will be adopted
