Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, Nov. Is.
SENATE.

Several hundred more petitions against
Reed Smoot, the Utah Senator and Nor
mon elder, were presented to the Senate
today, those offered by Mr.. Depew being
unusually numerous.
In presenting petition from the
'Dames of 1896" that pension OF $50
m nth be granted to Mexican war sur
vivors, Mr.. Gallinger of the committee on
Pensions, noted that such survivors were
now paid $12. "Whether or not the
claim of these estimable women is just,
will be given careful consideration by
our committee" he said.
Mr.. Mallory offered a resolution direct
ing the Secretary of the Navy to inform
Senate as to the desirability of building
craving dock on the Gulf coast capable
of docking the largest battleshipan ask
lug his opinion of the most desirable site
for it. He asked immediate considera-
ton. Upon objection of Mr.. Penrose, it
went over under the rules.
By the adoption of resolution offered
by Mr.. Dryden, the Secretary of War
was directed to furnish an estimate OF
cost for improving a channel between
Shuler's Island and Kill Won kull, in New
Jersey.
Atl2:20 o'clock, the Senate adjourned.

Debate on the Cuban reciprocity
measure was begun in committee of the

yening today.
Mr.. Grosvenor said that he regretted
ever so much that the Panama revolt
had not been brought into the discussion
by 1.-THE alert minority charged with no
duty but patriotism, but not much over
charged with that" The position of
the administration in the Panama ques-
ton, he declared, was unassailable, and
it would rebound to the glory and
credit of the American people. Refer
ring to Representative Mcclellan who
spoke yesterday, he suggested to the
democrats that he was a fitting presi-
dental candidatein 1904. 81 nominate
him." he said. "He's man without a
detrimental record and that's what the
democrats badly need" Referring to
the bad effects of democratic admins
tration, he said: Immediately upon
the election of Cleveland there was
practical suspension of income of the
revenues of the government in the
Treasury of the United States. 1t
would happen again if somebody, other
than Roosevelt, should be elected Presi-
dent next year"

struction. He paid 100000 for the
privilege of building the great tunnel
and disposing of the franchise after
ward. He put down 400 miles of the
Canadian Pacific railway, did $1S,0O0-
600 worth of work on the harbor of
San Francisco and has undertaken i'm
mense work elsewhere with great sue
cess. Mr.. Mcdonald began his career
as an eXcavator of cellars.
This syndicate will probably sublet
various features of the work should it
take the contract, such as the eXcavat-
ing, the Bohio dam, the construction of
the locks and other specialties. This is
regarded as the most satisfactory meth
cd of pursuing the undertaking. The
subcontractors would be responsible to
the company and the syndicate to the
government. If this plan cannot be
made operative, the government will
make contracts direct with companies
desiring to construct certain kinds of
work.
Eighteen of the forty-siX miles, the
length of the canal have been actually
dug. OF these eighteen miles vessels
are now navigating twelve miles on the
Atlantic and six miles on the Pacific
side. The canals depth is twenty-eight
feet, though in some places silt has
made bars that will have to be re-
moved.
According to the estimate, more than
$15,0O0,OO0 will be expended for ma
chinery. Modern American eXcavators
and dredges will be substituted for
those now in use. About tWenty-fOur
miles of the canal will be sea level.
This distance must be eXcavated by
dredging to a depth of thirty-five feet,
with bottom width of 80 feet. The
eQuipping and setting up of dredging
plan to perform this enormous work is
mammoth undertaking in itself. The
dredges and their machinery, the scows,
the tackle and all the other parapher-
ualia will supply abundant work for
many lines of manufacture. Temporary
docks must be constructed at Colon to
handle supplies for the canal.
The sum of S10.000,000 is available
for use by the commission whenever
work begins. The first work will be
that of sanitation. The cities of Colon
and Panama will be cleaned and made
healthful. A plentiful supply of pure
water must be provided for both
places, which are filthier far than were
Santiago and Havana in their worst
estate. Every precaution known to
modern science will be taken to pre-
vent disease from obtaining a foothold.
The unskilled labor for the canal will
come principally from Jamaica. The

workmen must necessarily be negroes,
as white men cannot stand the eli
mate. The negroes of Jamaica and 9TH
er British West India colonies are fair
ly good workers and are immune from
yellow fever. 1t is estimated that about
10000 will be required. The number of
men needed, however. will depend on
the machinery. Owing to the climate
it is probable that machinery will re-
place hand work wherever possible.
The United States agrees to complete
the work and open the canal in four
teen years. But in case the United
States should at any time determinefo
make the canal practically a sea level
canal, then the period is to be extended
ten years further There is little like
lihood of the latter contingency arising,
as it is the general opinion of>enGineers
that canal without locks is practical
ly impossible and could only be con-
structed at an enormous expense.
While fourteen years is the time set
for the completion of the canal it will
probably be in operation long before
that. Those who are competent to give
an opinion say that this time will be

of transit for vessels through the canal
will be less than day, and the largest
vessels can be accommodated. Ships
bound from Europe to the orient will
save at least 1000 miles. Vessels ply
ing between Atlantic and Pacific ports
in the States and South America will
be able to accomplish the distance in
about one-fifth of the time now re-
quired.
The estimated cost of completing the
canal is $135, 600, 900, not including $40,-
100000 to the French company and
$10,000,OO0 to Colombia. Even, should
it exceed this vast sum it will he worth

Think the Strike Is over.

Wilton News Two chapters have
been added to the local strike situation
since last week. Saturday shortly aft
err noon a special train carry ing about
thirty miners from Duluth came up
from Bismarck ana run up 10 the mine.
The strikers had expected the new
men on the morning train and had
prepared to meet them, and when it
was learned that they were atthe mine
and ready TO 90 to work, action was
taken to prevent it. A body of strik-
ers visited the mine and gave the new
corners a talk-strong enough to in
duce all but three or four Of their mum
