CHICAGO. May At develops that
the worlds record run of a special train
on the Michigan Central Railroad, April
q. from Niagara Falls to this city, was
the result of a wager
The star achievement was a speed of
l11.9O miles an hour. maintained for a
distance of 1913 miles. from Crisman to
Lake. Ind. although the worlds speed
record was broken at a previous stage
Of the journey.
The special carried Mr.. Ledyard. presi-
dent OF the Michigan Central: Mr.. New
man. president of the New York Cen
trail. and Mr. Truesdale. president of the
Lackawanna.
Laid a Wager.
The three had participated in an argu-
ment as TO the relative physical condi-
ton of their roads and the discipline of
their. men. Mr.. Ledyard declared that
the Michigan Central led the world In
these respects and offered a wager TO
prove the assertion by making a record
run with the very train in which the
three men were seated.
President Newman. who had made a
similar claim for the Lake Shore, ac-
cepted the wager, and the famous run
was undertaken at once.
The only precaution taken by Presi-
dent Ledyard was 10 send a pilot loco
motive ahead OF the special and to send
a flash down the line informing dis
patchers and road agents of what was
coming. Switches were not spiked.

TO BUILD CANAL
BY SLOW HASTE
Commission to Plan Every
thing in Beginning.
THEN WHEELS WILL START
Admiral Walker Says He and His
Confreres Win Be Very
Cautious.
THEN WHEELS WILL START

Make haste slowly is the motto
adopted by the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion according to an announcement
made by Admiral John c. Walker, the
chairman, today.
I'VE do not intend said the admiral.
Ito plunge into this enormous undertake
ing without first feeling our way very
carefully. The plumbers committed in
the work before were chiefly due to a
lack of preparation.
Will Master Situation.
Our plan is to proceed on an oppo-
site principle, namely, to master all the
technical problems iE connection with
the canal work first and then TO start
the wheels in operation with Il vim and
vigor that will make the possibility of
having the canal opened TO commerce in
eight years an actual fact.
AT present such machinery as Is now
in use on the canal will be kept in opera
ton. There are enough men there 10
handle 1t, and they are digging only in
localities with which the engineers are
sufficiently familiar to accomplish some
good.
The full scheme of operation is still
TO be planned out in detail however.
= men, 100, the lStnuuS llSelI must De
placed in condition so that there will be
no delays from sickness or from OBJ
stacles that might have been smoothed
out easily beforehand.
May Be a Year.
How long It will be before everything
5is ready to start all the modern ma
chinery to work 1 cannot say. 1t will
not be for several months, and it may
not be for year.
Admiral Walker said that when the
work was once under way on the canal
there would be at least 20.0OO people en-
ployed there.
For white men to do the part of the
work requiring picks and shovels he
does not think will be possible. The
bulk of the labor will have TO be done
by other races.
1t is not even settled that the com
mission VIII have to deal with this
problem, however. In the event the
work is let out by contract to construc-
ton companies. the contractors will
have to employ their own labor. guar
anteeing that they will finish the work
In certain length of time.
Accompanied by Engineers.
A large number of engineers repre-
senting private construction companies
accompanied the commission on the
trip. 1t is possible that--the commis-
sion will decide to advertise for bids.
and that the contracts will be let out
in this way.
The offices of the canal commission
are overrun with applicants for posi-
lions including clerks, stenographers,
machinery men, and many of them
with some strange contraptions to Of
fer.
The members Of the commission will
be summoned together some time this
week, and on this occasion it is prob
able that they will make a definite de-
cisiOn as TO how the work shall be
done. whether by contract or by the
commission Itself; also as to the steps
TO be taken in cleansing the canal zone
and to render it safe for the army of
workmen who will create a new city
on the isthmus during the years that
the canal is under construction
