PLAN FOR PAYMENTS
ON PANAMA CANAL
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Shaw Discuss Finances and Per-
SOnnel of Commission.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-As it seems
certain now that the Panama canal
treaty will be ratified soon by the Sen
ate, President Roosevelt has taken up
with Secretary Shaw the arrangements
necessary to be made by the Govern
ment for the payment of the $4,000, 600
for the canal property and the 100000,
900 to the republic of Panama He also
Is giving particular attention to the
personnel Of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission which is TO have charge Of the
construction of the great waterway.
Attorney General Knox has under con-
sideration the SDooner act of the last
Congress with 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 appoint the commission.
If it should be decided that the Spoon
er act does not confer that authority no
doubt is expressed that Congress will
enact promptly the necessary legisla-
ton.
AS regards the composition Of the
Canal Commission, it is thought that
Rear Admiral Walker, president Of the
present commission, will be member
and probably will head it. Isham Ran
dolph. chief engineer Of the Chicago
drainage canal, and General George w.
Davis. U. s. A, retired. also 1t is be-
lieved have been decided upon as men,
bers of the commission.

The Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company's liner Gaelic, Captain
Finch, sailed yesterday for the Orient.
She was loaded down to her Plimsoll
mark and in splendid trim. Her
cargo included 10 tons of cotton and
400 tons of lead. She also carries five
tons of shoe nails for the Japanese
Government.
Among the Gaelic's passengers were
several war correspondents. One of
these, H. T. Whickham, represents the
London Morning Post. Another, F.
A. Brandt, formerly on the editorial
staff of the New York Sun, is going
to the Far East as a free lance. Sir
Bryan Leighton of Great Britain, who
has been spending some months In
California, also sailed on the liner.
He is going out ito see the fun, you
know" and anticipates "a rather jolly
good time of it,"
Mrs. w. F. Hancock. wife of Cap
tain Hancock of the Seventh Infantry,
sailed on the Gaelic and is going to
the Philippines to join her husband.
z. J. Bates and A. T. Thane, well
known in the local commercial world,
were also passengers.
The Gaelic carried but twenty-seven
Japanese passengers, fewer than
usual, and of these only seven were
returning for the purpose of bearing
arms. What the patriots lacked in
numbers, however, was made up in
the enthusiasm and numerical
strength of the Japanese friends who
escorted them to the Gaelic and
cheered along the gallant seven by
singing Onward, Christian Soldier!"
and giving voice to a series of Japan
csc warwhoops. The seven viewed the
patriotic enthusiasm of their fellow
countrymen in sober silence and al
lowed those who were remaining in
the land of the free to make all the
demonstration.
John Fowler, United States Consul
General at Chefu, left for his post.
The liners passengers included the
following named:

oHIooPEE MAN FROZEN.
Austrian Miner Yves Found in Middle
of the Street.

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 27.-An Aus
trian miner named Joe Teotta was
frozen to death in the middle of the
main street of Chicopee, a Mount Car
mel company mining camp, two miles
south of this city. He was found this
morning about 7 o'clock by an Italian
miner on his way to work.
When last seen alive Teotta was in a
saloon owned by an Italian named
Valentine and he was much under the
influence of liquor. This was about
1920 o'clock last night and he left the
place with the remark that he was go
ing home.
1t is supposed he fell and was either
stunned and froze before he regained
consciousness or was too much under
the influence of liquor. In his mustache
was clotted blood.
Teotta was 45 years of age and was
a member of the Austrian society and
Imperial o. r. NJ. He is survived by a
widow and four children.

tee of the Congress.

Washington. Jan. 27.-Today's fea-
ture of the meeting here of the national
committee of the st. Louis good roads
congress was a call on President Roose-
welt at the White House. In a brief
speech the president expressed his deep
interest in the subject of good roads.
He said:
Il am sure I need not say how entire
ly sympathize with the movement
that you are chamDioning for better
means of communication. The road is
the symbol of civilization. Take our
great province of Alaska doubt if
there is anything more needed for the
development of Alaska on permanent
lines than the building up of a proper
system of roads, and where it is impos-
slble to make wagon roads, trails in
Alaska Throughout our country our
citizens will have to turn their energies
to improving the means of intercourse
that is. the roads-between commune
ity and community. because we are a
civilized people and we can not afford
to have barbaric methods of commIni-
cation
A resolution offered by Jefferson
Myers of the Lewis and Clark exnosf-
ton, endorsing the good roads move
ment and the exposition was adopted
An invitation was extended for the
meeting of the good roads ASSOCIATION
to be held in Portland, Ore, in 1905.

BARNEY MAY BE BLOWN AWAY
johnson Reiterates in Cleveland His
Opinion of Drevfuss,

cleveland, Jan. BAN Johnson of
the american league will have no fur
ther business dealings with Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg
committee of the National league. He
made this declaration at a, conference
with Charles w. Somers, vice president
OF the American league and the news
paper men at the Hollenden.
4 Will never have anything to do
with Dreyfuss. He is too light for
his position, and believes himself in a
class by himself Before he can talk
baseball to me again he will have to
carry some weight or he is likely to be
blown away. Before there is anything
more done on the schedule question
between the American and National
league, the latter will have to send
others besides Dreyfuss OF we will
never come to an agreement.
why should we allow the National
league to open the season in New
York; Did we not give in to them last
year, allow them the opening dates
and the Decoration day holiday? Now
it is only fair that we get the opening
we will stand by the dates we have
scheduled for New York, and if the Ma
tional league wants to avoid conflicting
dates they must allow them to US.
''Of course the National league would
like to have the opening dates as be-
fore, but it is only fair that we get
them. Still, 1 will not talk business
until I have seen the other members
of the National league schedule COM
mittee. Dreyfuss tried to boss me, but
hereafter he will have to do business
with his own men.
HE predicted the downfall of the
American league beginning in 1905, but
just let me tell you the National
league has nothing to say, for we have
had them whipped and allowed them
to stay in the race. If there is any or
ganization that needs protection it is
the National, and all this talk about
there being. war is Eosh. There will be
no war for the National league is not
in a position to declare one We have
asked for the opening dates in New
York. We have earned them as the
Nationals had them last year"

FOR A CONSOLIDATION.
Four American Association Teams
Said to Have Signed an Agreement

Milwaukee, Jan. 27.-The Daily News
says: Baseball sensations are always
expected, but one action carried through
at the meeting of American Association
magnates in Chicago will fall like a
bomb in American association, western
league and eastern league cities.
Charter members of the American as
ISOLATION signed an agreement, it is
officially announced, which was I'M
known even to President Grillo until
an hour after it was signed. The points
of the agreement are as follows:
The five charter clubs in the associa-
ton agree to remain in the organiza-
ton during the life of the franchises.
Four association teams will not con-
solidate with four eastern leagues
clubs.
Four association teams will not con-
solidate with four western league
clubs.
A new eastern league is out of the
question.
St. Paul. Minneapolis, Kansas City
and Milwaukee will not be dropped
from the American association for at
least eight years.
The signers of the agreement are
dianapolis and Kansas City.
Copies of the agreement are in the
hands only of Dale Gear of Kansas
City and George Lennon of ST. Paul.
No more important news in Ameri-
can association or western league base
ball circles has been placed before the
baseball public in years This is the
third year in the life of the American
association and for IS months there has
been a fear of disruption, which, how
ever, the present action dispels.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 17.-Americus
eight miles northwest of here, had oc-
casion this week to learn how import
ant a station agent is. Mr. Gum, the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas agent there
was arrested because he rolled his mail
cart on the sidewalk. He was fined in
police court and refused to pay his fine.
He was put in jail. Gum refused to
give up his keys to the depot and
Americas merchants had much trouble
because they could neither receive nor
ship freight. This state of affairs con-
tinued for a time, when the railroad
officials informed Americas that the
town must release Gum OF trains
would cease stopping there. The bust
ness men Immediately paid the fine and
Gum was released.
