MORGAN A PRIZE WINNER
IN NEW YORK DOG SHOW
Great Financier Makes Sweeping
Success with His Show of
Royal Collies.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The feature Of
the opening day at the dog show in Madi-
son-square Garden was the sweeping sue
cess of ]. Pierpont Morgan with his rough
collies. Mr.. Morgan has not exhibited in
recent years, but to-day he showed some
superb English importations. The star of
the kennel was Wishaw Clinker, a dog
which could not be beaten in England and
for which Mr.. Morgan is said to have paid
between $1,000 and $4,000.
The second best was Olymphian, which I'M
til he met Clinker, had not been beaten.
With these two dogs, and some others, all
the principal prizes went to Mr.. Morgan.
In the open class he took all three prizes
and in the winners, which is tantamount
to the championship, Wishaw Clinker beat
all, and Ormskirk Olympian took the re-
serve ribbon.
Another feature of the day was the con-
test for the Waldorf-Astoria cup for bull
dogs, presented by George c. Bodt. This
cup has TO be won three times by a men,
Der of the association TO become his prop
erty.
w. c. Goldman had already won the prize
twice. bat c. c. Hopton, who, on the two
occasions on which Mr.. Codmans dogs had
finished first, had been the runner up,
turned the tables on his competitor, and
took the first prize with Rodney Smasher.
Russia and Japan are both represented
in the show, but the former nation is
are concerned, the principal reason being
the great demand for wolf hounds that has
arisen in the West.
The classes for Russian wolf hounds are
among the best filled in the show. The at
tendance was particularly large for the
first day and indications are that the show
will prove TO be the most successful on
record.

PRESIDENT CONSIDERS
CANAL FINANCE PLANS
Personnel of the Commission Also
Is Being Taken Under the Most
Careful Amusement.
THREE NAMES ASSURED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-As il seems
certain now that the Panama canal treaty
will be ratified soon by the Senate Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken up with Secre-
tary Shaw the arrangements necessary
to be made by this government for the
payment of the s4O,OOO.O 900 for the canal prop
erty and the 100000 10 the republic of
Panama. He also is giving now particular
attention to the personnel of the isthmian
canal commission, which is to have charge
of construction of the great waterway.
Attorney General Knox has under consider
alton the Spooner act of the last Congress
with a view of determining whether it
affords the President ample authority to
provide for the issuance of bonds to raise
the money Immediately needed and to ap
point the commission. If it should be de-
cided that the Spooner act does not confer
that authority, no doubt is expressed that
Congress will enact promptly the necessary
legislation.
The President is considering very care
fully the composition of the canal COM
intention regarding any of the many can
didates has been made but it is thought
to be certain that Rear Admiral Walker,
president of the present commission, will
be a member of the new commission and
probably will head it. Isham Randolph,
the chief engineer of the Chicago drainage
canal, and Gen. George w. Davis, L.. S. A,
retired, II is believed also have been de-
cided on as members of the commission.

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
ON THE CALUMET RIVER
Secretary Taft Transmits to the
House the Report of Col. Ernst
on Proposed Channel.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O.-The secretary
of war has just transmitted to the House
the report of Col. o. II. Ernst who made
an examinat ton of the Calumet river in IL
linois and Indiana. The improvement near
Hammond contemplated by the present
examination involves the modification of
the existing project so as to provide a
navigable channel twenty-five feet deep
from the mouth of e-hundrcd-and-sixth
street; to include in the improvement the
ole channel OF the river between One-hun-
and Northumberland
sixteenth streets.
With reference TO that part OF the stream
below the forks. Colonel Ernst states that
the proposed increase in depth between the
mouth and One-hundred-and-sixth street is
not required at this time. and that the old
bed OF the river between observation-disclosures
thirteenth and observation-disclosures
streets is OF no value 10 the United States
except that a portion or ii at one end might
be utilized for a turning basin. In his
opinion this section is worthy of improve
ment by the general government to the ex-
tent proposed by the existing project
AS regards the portion above the forks
he states that the work is not worthy TO
be undertaken by the United States.
Colonel Ernst estimates the cost of the
projected work al $652. 1880. which includes
the excavation OF five turning basins haV-
ing at least diameter of $50 feet, four Of
them twenty-one feet deep, the other six
teen feet deep. The sum of $40 600 will be
required annually for maintenance.
This estimate does not provide for the
cost of land required for the turning basins
estimated TO cost $I6l. 3i2. which the oficer
thinks should be given for the purpose free
of charge, and he Is of the opinion that
should be condition on free right OF
way.

port of the passage of the torpedo boat 40
tilla under convoy of the cruiser Buffalo,
from San Juan, p. r., 10 Las Paimas,
Canary island, from Commander W. H.
Everett. of the Buffalo.
THE behavior Of the flotilla at sea was
excellent, the only time when wind and sea
seemed to retard their progress at all was
when the sea became sufficient TO cause
racing of the screws. No heavy water was
taken aboard at any time, nor was any
damage received by any boat from any
cause whatever The motion of the boats
was not excessive, although sufficient to
become very firing when kept up incessant-
ly for twelve days; such long runs are very
firing 10 personnel. In spite of this, how
ever, the officers and men arrived in good
physical condition, other than natural
fatigue, which was not excessive nor
greater than was TO be reasonably expect
