DOWIE IN RICH ROBES.
Proclaims Himself First Apostle of
Christian Catholic Church.

CHICAGO, September 19.-Wearing a rich
robe and inter modelled after those of an
ancient Jewish high priest, John Alexander
Dowie had proclaimed himself John Alex
ander' first apostle of the Christian Cath
Ollie Church.
The announcement was made in the taber-
nacle at Zion City, where 1900 people had
assembled Dowie referred to the robes in
assuming the office. After quoting Scrip
ture in support of the claim he had made
to the title of first apostle, he said:
II did not create the Office. 1t was
created by the Lord. I did not create it any
more than l designed these robes. If you
are in doubt as to my authority to wear
them, you will find it In the 2Sth chapter
of Exodus, the chapter given by God to
Moses when the high priesthood was estab-
lished."
Dowe wore a long garment of heavy
white satin, lined with white silk. Over
this was a purple satin robe, fringed with
gilt, of knee length. The ''broidered coal"
the richest feature of the costume was of
white satin, embroidered with geometrical
patterns in purple and gold, the colors of
the church.
The girdle was there with historical ac-
curacy, but on the breast plate. instead of
the twelve jewels prescribed by the Jewish
ritual was embroidered a scarlet cross
edged with gold. Dowie's headdress con-
sisted of white silk turban, ornamented
with two purple bands. White silk hose and
white canvas shoes completed the costume:
THE Office of first apostle Is perpetual,
said Dowie, after he had read several long
passages from Scripture. 1T should have
been continued Successors to the original
twelve were chosen to the number of nine
to fill vacancies caused by martyrdom or
death. My assumption of the first apostle
ship is the final step in the organization OF
the church as planned by Jesus Christ"

NEW PANAMA CANAL PLANS.
A Depth of 40 Feet for the Waterway
Now Being Considered.


1t appears more than likely that revision
will be made in the plans for constructing
the Panama canal by which it shall have
a depth of forty feet instead of thirty-hve
feet, as was at first intended
The whole scheme, including the number
of locks, the locations of the dams and
the lift from sea level, is now under con-
sideration almost as a new problem. 1t is
believed that substantial improvements can
be made over the line which was recon-
mended by the Isthmian canal commission
in its last study of the relative advantages
of the two routes.
The examinations which have been made
since the new commission assumed charge
develop the surprising fact that the work
of excavation can be done considerably
cheaper than had been supposed, and hence
1t Is likely that canal Of thtrty-seVen or
thirty-eight feet can be constructed Tor the
sums which Congress and the public sup
posed would be necessary for a thirty five
foot canal.
in sight will prove so important that the
commission will decide squarely fOr a forty
foot canal, from end to end.
1t was first proposed, as soon as the sub
ject commenced to attract the attention of
the new board of engineers, that the locks
be established on forty-foot basis, while
leaving the prism of the canal, as originally
planned, with a depth of thirty-five feet.
This is a principle often resorted to in build
ing rail! DAD bridges and tunnels, and II
was recognized in the excavation Of the
Chicago drainage canal. 1t was assume
that the Panama canal would have five
locks, two on this side and three on the
other, and that its greatest lift would be
feet at high water, the variation due to
fluctuations in the lake level.
