London, Nov. 2.-Negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and Russia look
ing to a settlement of the North sea
affair are progressing favorably, and
there is not the slightest dnager of fric
ton arising between the governments.
The constitution of the international
commission under The Hague conven-
ton in on the verge of settlement.
In spite of these pacific conditions,
Great Britain Tuesday experienced q
war panic that only can be compared
to the panic created on October 80,
when the news of the sinking of the
trawlers in the North sea was received.
Not for years have so many alarmist
reports and flaming extras flooded Lon
don. The most extraordinary feature
of this scare, which was serious enough
while it lasted, is that there is not one
single circumstance to justify it.
The excitement started in the day,
when the newspapers announced the
departure of the Russian Baltic squad
ron from Vigo. The public were not
in possession of the information cabled
by the Associated Press to the United
States that only the officers concerned
in the firing on British trawlers would
be detached, and jumped at the conclu
sion that Russia had broken faith by
not OBTAINING the vessels involved in
the affair.
On top of this came wild rumors of
tremendous activity at Gibraltar.
Hour after hour the news form Glib
raltar became more serious, until at
last the climax was reached with the
announceent that the British fleet had
cleared for action. Some even said
that the fleet had sailed to meet Rojest-
vensky's squadron. In huge type the
papers made the parallel statements,
The Russian Fleet Has Sailed, " The
British Fleet Has Cleared for Action. :"

San Francisco, Nov. /. - Jimmy
Britt of California lost the lightweight
championship of the world Monday
night when he fouled Joe Cans. He
had sent Cans to his knees in the fifth
round and then, losing his head, gave
him vicious punch, and referee Ora
ney promptly awarded the fight to Cans
on foul.
The same thing happened in the
fuorth round. Cans had dropped to
his knees to escape a blow that did not
land. Britt struck at him, but Graney
would not allow the foul. In the next
round, however, Graney very promtly
recognized the foul fighting. 1t looked
almost from the start as if it were
Britt's fight. He actually outboxed
Cans and landed blow after blow.

The construction of the tube has in
volved difficulties of a character prob
ably never before faced in such WORK
Portions of it pass under skyscrapers,
involving costly and specially design
ed supporting systems, and practically
its whole length lies under a crowded
city requiring the solution of such
problems as these involved in the dis
placement of hundreds of sewers, many
of them great main trunk conduits,
masses of intricate and interlaced cleo
trio wires, gas, water and steam pipes,
and all without seriously interrupting
the services of these essentials to the
life of a great city. Old foundations
were encountered in unexpected places
and quicksands, strongly flowing
springs and long forgotten streams fire.
quently called into play every device
of modern engineering genius to meet
perilous emergencies. About 5000, 900
cubic yards of excavation were made
for the tunnel, one third of which was
stone. AS this required blasting, an
other serious obstacle was encounter
ed in devising means for the safe use
of explosives, particularly in those por-
tions of the work which were in the
form of open excavation, or ditching.

problem on Manhattan island and it
marks the completion of the first stage
of what will be the most comprehen-
sive system of rapid transit in the

Nine miles of this total of about IA
were ready for traffic, but it is ex-
pected that the East Side division and
the remainder of the West Side line
will be ready in about three months.
Ground was broken for the tunnel
on March %, 1900, after years of agi-
tation and legislation, out of which the
present project grew. 1t had been de-
cided by municipal ballot that the
city should own the system, but that
it should be constructed under private
contract on money loaned by the city,
to be repaid by the contractor with
interest. 1t required six years to lay
out the route and plan the size and
character of the tunnel and the via
ducts, the work being under the super
vision of commission, of which Alex
ander E. Orr was president and Will
liam Barclay Parsons chief engineer.
This accomplished, bids for the gigan-
tic work were issued. There were but
two responses, that of John B. McDon-
aid, New York contractor, being the
lowest, at $35,O00,000.

PLENTY OF ROAST MUTTON,
Fire i'm Stockyards at East Buffalo
N. Y.-Seven Thousand Sheep
Burned to Death

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 29.-Seven thou
sand sheep were burned to death at the
East Buffalo stock yards Monday night.
The long sheds in which they were con-
fined were swept by the flames before
any of the animals could be released.
The loss is estimated at 5000. 1t was
stated by Superintendent Leigh that the
fire would in no way interfere with
handling of live stock here. Plenty OF
space is available in the cattle and hog
sheds to house the sheep arrivals. The
sheep were confined in two long sheds,
100 feet in width and covered a total area
of 100000 square feet. Running parallel
with them were the hog and cattle sheds.
The fire, famed by a brisk wind, de-
stroyed the two building in an incredibly
short time. The sheep destroyed were
exports" and were in charge of federal
officers.

CABINET ACTS.
Policy ReEa riding Panama Said to
Have Been Settled Upon Mt
Recent MeetinE

Chicago, Dec. 31.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that paper as follows: There was a
special cabinet meeting Tuesday after
noon to consider the Panama and Co.
lombian situation. While the members
were exceedingly reticent and declined
to discuss what was done, it can be said
the administration contemplates taking
no action which will disturb the present
situation on the isthmus. The discus
sion related chiefly to the reply of this
Reyes, the Colombian envoy, who set
forth the position of his government.
In other words, the administration in
replying to the Colombian government
will consider the Panama republic as
an accomplished fact, and in it's nego-
tiations with Colombia will do nothing
whatever which will in any way preju-
dice the ratification of the treaty.
Another, question which was discussed
was the policing of the canal strip after
the treaty has been ratified, and it prac-
tically has been decided that troops will
be substituted for marines.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The statement
of Colombias grievances, as presented
to Secretary Hay by Gen. Reyes and
now being considered, contains three
distinct propositions concerning the
canal, as follows:
That the status of the isthmus before
the revolution be restored.
That the United States content itself
with keeping the railroad open and al
low Colombia to try to put down the
revolution.
That if neither of these propositions
is accepted, the United States agree to
pay Colombia for the loss of territory
resulting from the attitude of this coun-
try, the amount of damages to be fixed
by The Hague tribunal.
The claim for damages is supported
by long arguments, and is based pri-
marlly on the treaty of 1916, in which
it is held that the United States agreed
to maintain Colombia's sovereignty over
the isthmus.
Gen. Reyes hopes to receive in ten
days or two weeks reply sufficiently
favorable to allow him to return to Co.
Iombla with assurance that Colombia
will receive compensation for the loss
OF the isthmus. If he can hold out any
reasonable promise in that direction he
believes he will he able to quiet the war
spirit and induce his countrymen to
wait until the questions between Co.
lombla and the United States and Pan
anna are settled finally. Dr. Herran, the
Colombian charge, expects to go home
with Gen. Reyes on leave.
