MOVING INTO CENTER.
Real Estate Dealers Say They Have N@
 Trouble Getting Tenants


 Some of the real estate dealers sav| that the strike was God-send to own CTS of property about the center and q great black eye to the suburban dis. tr1cts. Many have decided to movs into the thickly settled portions of ths city and locate where they can reach their work without being obliged t1 walk two or three miles or make tars gets of themselves by riding on the cars. A man who makes a business or handling rents said to-day that sa' Tar as he knew there never was such a demand for houses in the old city and that in their desire to get in sev. eral had vacated places of their own on the outside and that it was a uues. t1on whether they would occupy them again or not. They claim that ali things considered it is far cheaper to live near the center, no matter how nigh the rent, than go into the rural districts at any price. It costs mora for car fare than the difference in rent. and then you have no accommodation to speak of. "Yes sir" remarked lthe real estate man, as he walked bff things are about right now. You cau rent your block and select your tehl- ants. This has not been so in Watek. bury for many years past and whilA people on the outside may not like it | still, on the whole, I regard it as benefit to Waterbury.

TRADE IN MANCHURI1.
How America May Secure Her ShareA Consul MiIler's Recommended

WASHINGTON, May 1.-How the commercial interests of the United States in Manchuria may be safe guarded against future international complications and our trade in that country maintained and increased is told in a report received at the state department from United States Con- sul Miller at Newchwang. He says Russia in the end will practically doIni- nate the commercial and industrial Af- fairs of Manchuria unless other conn- tries have in every way equal facgii- ties. American trade in Manchuria to- day consists principally of cottoNn goods, kerosene and -four and is larg9- ly in excess of that of any other counS try. It is estimated that our exports td Manchuria will equal S,000,000 taeisE or 85 per cent of all foreign imports.S S In order that this commercial supre- macy may be maintained Consul Will Der has made the following recommen- dations to the department:
 First.-Estab blishment by American manufacturers of an expert agent in Manchuria who shall sell direct to na- tive firms instead of to Shanghai and Hongkong.
 Second-That the Washington gov ernment urge the opening of all of Manchuria to the trade of the world "as free to us as to Russia or any oth- CT country
 Third.-That new consul general be added to the American consular service, its head to be known as tia United States consul general for Man churia.
 If these things are not donen MT. Wilber continues, 1t Is very clear to my mind that the entire mining inter ests of Manchuria, together with what ever trade is desired by Russian mer- chantsd will be entirely in their hands. Russian merchants are already strong in the kerosene trade and are laying plans to capture the -four and cotton goods trade. Russia has 6 commissions CT of the rank of consul general in Manchuria having great influence with the present Chinese officials Russian banks are doing business in all the principal cities, and these banks havA a commercial branch buying and sell ing merchandise. Russian subjects are building four mills, factories, meat packing and opening mines throughout Manchuria while some of our citi8ens complain that they are not permitted the same privileges. The commercial department of the Russo Chinese bank is doing business in all the interiorl cities of Manchuria, while our citizens are prohibited on account of our treaty with China, and unless this condition is altered our trade, instead of expand ing as the natural conditions would justify, will be contracted and driven out by Russian goods"

must be higher than that to main
tain >the desired level in Lake Bohio
The commission proposes to have il

Gigantic the water will drain of
through swamps to the lower
Chagres. a little excavating helping
the flow here. 1t is expected that
the Gigantic spillway will serve as
an automatic safety valve in time OF
floods.
As already stated, about 1914 miles
of the route lie through Lake Bohio
For fully seven miles there will be
deep water. Only a little dredging
will be necessary as Gamboa is APP
preached. To the southeast of the
latter point lies the heaviest work
along the whole route. For nearly
eight miles (7.95 to be exact a cut in
the backbone of the isthmus will be
needed to bring the canal down to the
proper level. This is known as the
Culebra cut. The water viii be no
higher here than in Lake Bohio, and
there viii be no locks. However, as it
may be desirable tosdrain the Culebra

level OF Lake BoLis to 9e feet above the

hand, if Cen. Atbot's recommends

been necessary to so 90 feet lower in
the cut, Part Of the material to be re-
moved here is rock, but a good deal
more is merely clay.
iPartly to control the excuses of the
Chagres in very rainy weather. II has
been proposed to build a dam at AHA
iuela, 10 or IL miles east of Gamboa,
near the source of the stream. An arti-
fetal lake there would serve as a reser-
voir, take care of part of the surplus
water when the precipitation was
heavy, and thus relieve Lake Bohio Of
a part of its responsibility. BY
affording storage it would, moreover,
be able to reinforce the lower lake in
the dry season.
At the southeastern end of the Guile
bra cut, at Pedro Miguel, there is a
drop of 62 feet, managed by two locks,
AT M~irahores, a mile and a third

Pres. Russler called tine attention of

Though / am very busy here, and

it's a philanthropic, not a money-mak-

The business originated during an
extremely hard winter a number Of
years ago, when there was great suf-
fering among Boston's poor. 1t was
the idea Of several of the prominent
members of Trinity church, who adj
vanced the money to open and carry on
the business until il might be self-sup-
porting.
'1n It's ten years of existence" said
Miss Mitchell, Hundreds Of men and

"We scarcely ever give more than

Miss Mitchell, though in times past
we have.
I'VE used to advance money on sail

do it infrequently. If a person is real

said, we do not do much in this line
