BE WITHDRAWN.
LEADERS HOLD A MEETING
DECIDE TO CARRY ON AN AGGREs'
slvE CAMPAIGN UNTIL
ELECTION DAY.

Milwaukee, Oct. 13.-The National
Republican (stalwart) state ticket,
headed by Former Governor Edward
Scofeld, will remain in the field. This
was decided after a %protracted meet
ing Of leading stalwarts from every
part of the state Wednesday, when the
question of Withdrawing the ticket
came up for discussion. Among those
who took part in the conference were
Senator John C. Spooner, Ex-Governor
Edward Scofield, Ex-Governor w. H.
Upham, Marshall Cousins and G.. p.
Henry of Eau Claire and thirty other
men prominent in the stalwart fac
ton from all over the state.
Senator Spooner was one of the first
speakers to give his views on the sub
ject. 1t is said that while he did not
advise the withdrawal of the ticket.
he did not wish to oppose the national
committee and that he would support
whatever action the meeting might
take.
Mr.. Spooner left the meeting short
ly after he had spoken on the subject.
He took this step, he said, in order not
to embarrass others whose views
might be different from his. The con-
ference lasted several hours.
Before the meeting adjourned a
resolution was passed unanimously in
favor of the ticket being kept in the
field. The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That it is the judgment
of this meeting, most emphatically ex-
pressed that the present Republican
ticket headed by Edward Scofeld be
kept in the field and we pledge to this
ticket our enthusiastic support; that
the state central committee be heartily
commended for the work already &C
complished and that the campaign be
vigorously pushed from now until the
day of election"
Ex-Governor Edward Scofield, the
stalwart candidate for governor, when
seen after the conference, expressed
himself as being satisfied with the
conclusions reached by the conference.
He said he was in favor of remaining
in the field, because he believed the
stalwart course to be right. Mr.. SEQ
field said he would issue a statement
soon.

PANAMA COMMISSION REPORTS
TO THE PRESIDENT.
SCIENTIFIC METHODS IN USE
Modern Excavating Machinery Will
SuppIant the Old French
Scrap Piles.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Members OF
the Panama canal commission now in
Washington, called by appointment
on President Roosevelt. A short time
afterward John Barrett, American
minister to Panama, had a conference.
The commission remained with the
president about half an hour.
AS they left the executive office
they said the visit was a purely
complimentary call" on the president
and was without special significance.
1t is known, however, that they dis
cussed with him conditions on the
Isthmus of Panama which have arisen
since the acquisition by this country
of an American zone and the differ
ences between the commission n
the government of Panama.
What, if any, conclusions were
reached as to these differences was
not disclosed.
Work Done.
The commissioners left with the
president a memorandum giving in
detail the work accomplished on the
isthmus. Surveying parties are at
work in the vicinity Of Colon, making
plans and estimates for an inner har-
Dor, also at Gutan, surveying and
boring at the various proposed dam
sites in that neighborhood and for a,
cutoff between Gutan and Tiger Hill.
At Bohio the surveyors are making
detailed surveys and studies and in
vestigating the various dam sites that
have been proposed in that locality.
An engineering corps along the
main line of the canal in the vicinity
of Culabra is making surveys to de-
termine the feasibility OF straighten-
ing the lines of the French company
and to determine the amount of ma
terial removed and to be removed in
accordance with the different canal
plans under consideration.
Another engineering force is con-
structing a reservoir in the valley OF
the upper Rio Grande which will fur
nish a minimum supply of 100000
gallons of water a day for the city OF
Panama; also a distributing reservoir
for the city of Panama at Ancon. 1t
is also making surveys and estimates
for a sewerage system for Colon, and
plans are being prepared for the con-
struction of a narbor there.
To Put in Machinery.
The average amount OF material
taken out of the Culabra cut has been
from 1000 to 1,5OO cubic yards a day.
This is with the use OF old French
machinery available. Three modern
steam shovels which are to be put at
work at Culabra will increase the cut
five feet.
The commission has sent to the
isthmus a large amount OF lumber ana
railroad ties; has recently opened
bids for 100000 feet OF lumber and
will soon advertise for about 4,OOO,-
900 additional.
In August the unit cost OF excavat-
ing material was cut to 5Oh cents q
cubic yard, while the time Major
Black was in charge of the canal work
the cost, according to the French
methods of excavation, was ~ cents
a cubic yard.
