atoms.

Washington, May 1T is understood
that the remaining nine million dollars
of the payment to the republic Of
Panama will not be called for until
June. Treasury officials are pleased
with the operations now in progress at
tending the transfer of the forty million
dollars to the French company in pay
ment for the canal property. Secretary
ShaW'S original plan, announced sever
al months ago is being carried out with
only the slight modification that Mr.
Morgan then expected to be the agent
of the company in France, instead OF
the diSbursing agent: but he charges
our Government nothing, saying that
he would rather take the trouble to
handle the transaction than to run the
risk of disturbing financial conditions
here by any abrupt methods. 1t is also
pointed out that the French company
may pay for the exchange as the
money, by the terms Of the trade. was

ROD MILL STARTS.
Firss Canadian Plant Is Now in Oper,
ton.

Halifax, N. s., May 1.-The rod mill
of the Dominion Iron & Steel Company
at Sydney, the first to be erected in
Canada has started operations, and the
initial run was pronounced highly SIZE
ccssful by officials of the Morgan Con-
structio1 Company of Worcester Mass.
which erected the plant. 1t has a
guaranteed capacity of two hundred
tons per day. Only one strand will be
rolled for the present.
The immense plant of the Dominion
Iron & Steel Company is now in opera :
ton only to about half it's capacity.
Only two of the four blast furnaces and
four of the ten open-hearth furnaces
are working, and the operations in the
rolling mills are, of course, cut down
proportionately. Some $50 tons of iron
are smelted daily. about half of it be-
ing converted into steel. 1t is expect
ed, however, that in a month or two
the operations of the plant will be con-
siderably increased, especially when the
new billet mills are started.
To replace the small coal washing
plant which was burned down about
twelve months ago the cOrnp,ny is in
stalling a modern plant 1T a cost Of
$500, 900. One-half, with a capacity of
one hundred tons per day, will be fin
ished by the middle of July. while the
other half, it is expected, will be COM
pleted early in September The steel
rail mill will, it is anticipated. be ready
to start operations in the fail. /; Will
have a capacity of five hundred tons
per day. The company expects that
witch The mill is properly started the
government will, by order in council,
take advantage OF the power given by
Parliament and place Il duty of 81 per
ton on steel rails. Application has all
ready been made to the government for
a duty on steel rods. which at present
are admitted free, owing to the fact
that none have been rolled i'm Canada
heretofore 1t is expected that allied
industries, such as steel nail and wire
making, will now be established in sgd
ney.
James Fender & Son, the St. John
hardware firm which refused to JOIN
other Canadian firms in buying eX-
clusiVely from the United States Steel
Corporation, has given an order for one
thousand tons of wire rods to the sgd
ney concern.

NEW PLAN FOR COLUMBIAN
Memorial Association Will Give Money
for new BUILDING.

Washington, May 2-President Need
ham of Columbian University has re-
ceived definite offer from the George
Washington Memorial Association tn
erect a half million dollar building I'D
on the new site of the University on
condition that it's name be changed TO
THE George Washington University"
On May 9Th the trustees of the Me-
mortal Association are to meet, and the

tirely undenominational and was au-
thorized to change its name subject
only to the approval of the secretary of
the interior and the commissioner of
education. New members since chosen
on the board of trustees include Cover
nor Montague of Virginia, Senator Gal
lingcr, Commissioner Mcfarland of the
District of Columbia, E. o. Wolcott.
director of the Geological Survey. and
DR.. Charles w. Richardson. Another
place on the board will probably be
filled by Professor Alexander Graham
Bell.
The Memorial Association, which is
composed of patriotic women through
out the country, planned to apply the
fund they were raising to perpetuate
the memory of Washington as a lover
of education. 1t was proposed to erect
building for an organization of
scientists ut the national capital called
the Washington Memorial Institution,
but Mr.. Carnegies foundation did away
with the need for such a plan.
The building offered by the asso-
cirtion is to be known as the George
Washington Memorial Hall, and will be
the central building of the group in
Van Ness Park. 1t will contain ar
auditorium seating about 1900 and suit
able for the meetings of learned sociev
ties converting at Washington. offices of
administration, few class rooms and
central hall under the dome, sixty

concert The attendance was large
A number of Cairo people were pres
ent.
A few years ago Mr.. Miller resided
in Cairo. He was then the possessor
Of a splendid tenor voice He was a
member of the original Pulaski club
which, during the warm summer
evenings, held nightly sessions in the
yard at the rear of the old paint shop
which then adjoined the Alexander
club. Johnny Miller was the clubs
best singer. Many persons who heard
his songs predicted a great career
for him, IL he ever should get an op-
portunity to properly cultivate his
voice. Some time after leaving Cairo
the opportunity came and after study
ing in this country Cor while, he
went to London and there studied
with some of the best teachers OF the
voice. Since returning from abroad
ne has most Of the time resided IL
Chicago.
Mr.. Miller has a voice of fine quail
ity and good range and has a most
artistic method. His program Friday
night was well selected and his audi
encc greatly appreciated his fine
singing. His Cairo friends should
make an effort to have him give a re-
cital here.
