PErITs APPOINTMENT.
The Matter Discussed by Senate Post
Office Committee.

The statement made by Postmaster War;
field of Baltimore that former First AS
sistant Postmaster General Perry 8. Heath
was responsible for placing the name of
John w. Petit on the rolls of the Balti-
more Office was discussed today at the
meeting of the Senate committee on post
Offices and post roads.
One of the members of the committee
called attention to the publication of the
statement and suggested an inquiry con-
corning it's correctness
Petits name has been on the roll for six
years and the government is now seeking
to recover from Postmaster Warfield's
bondsmen the amount thus paid, the claim
being that he never performed any duties
in the Baltimore office.
From the discussion in the committee 1t
is apparent that the question will come
up at subsequent meeting. 1t is said
that Senator German will direct an in
yestigation in the interest of the Baltimore
postmaster, who declares that when he was
commanded in a letter from Heath to put
Petit on the payroll he did so. thinking
that Petit may have been assigned to some
outside employment of secret nature.

ROYALTY VISITS SHIPS.
Emperor and His Brother Inspect
Battle Ships-Greeted by Crowds,

ST. PETERSBURG. March 16, 7:25 PM
The emperor and his brother, the Grand
Duke Michael, heir presumptive to the
throne. wearing naval uniforms. visited
Galernii Island today and inspected the
battle ships Brodino. Orel and Andrew.
They were accompanied by the Grand Duke
Alexis, high admiral. and Admirals Avelan

ceived the august visitors on board the
Borodino, which the emperor inspected.
minutely examining the arrangement of her
guns and torpedo tubes and manifesting
special interest in the stoutness of her
armor. He examined the guns already on
board the Orel.
The Andrew is SO little advanced in con-
struction that she was not inspected by the
emperor. His majesty conversed with the
deck yard employees told them their work
would soon be finished and requested them
to exert their best efforts. promising to
repeat his visit in a month.
Great crowds of people greeted the EN-
peror on his arrival and departure. He
will go to the new admiralty yard tomor-
row and later in the week to the Baltic
works.

SANITATION ON THE ISTHMUS.
Prof. w. H. Burr Heard by House Com
mittee Regarding Canal Strip.

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce today further heard
Prof. w. II. Burr on the question of SANTA
ton of the Panama canal route. The 18TH
milan canal commission had, he said. re-
garded the subject as one of the greatest
Importance. The work of sanitation would
be chiefly the construction of water works
and a sewage system for the cities of
Panama and Colon, and the drainage of
districts between those cities. 1t would,
however. he said, require the co-operat ton
of the police, as the people on the isthmus
have no idea of sanitary principles. He
estimated the cost at 100000. The COM
pletion of the canal, he said. could be ac-
complished in eight or nine years.
Answering Mr.. Hepburn, Prof Burr said
that where men are careless in their habits
on the isthmus the mortality is high. He
had not. he said, ever heard that a thou
sand men lost their lives for every mile of
the canal so far as work had been done
upon 1t. nor had he ever heard of a grave
of the fact that out of 500 Chinese Iaborers
so had died in three months.
Prof Burr was subjected to many aues-
lions. mostly bearing on the amount of ex-
cavations made by the two French COM
panies, and said that they had eXcavated
about 100000 yards. two-thirds of which
was useful, leaving 100000 cubic yards
yet to be excavated.
Expenditures Of Former Commission
Prof Burr also spoke of the expenditures
or the late isthmtan canal commission and
the committee. at an executive session held
after the hearing. decided to call for the
journal and expense account of that COM
mission. These documents are understood
TO be in the State Department. The COM
mission never has made a report. and the
committee, in considering the matter Of
granting the present canal commission GER
tain authority, deem ii wise to learn the
nature of the expenditures made by its
predecessor.
Over 100000 was expended by this COM
mission. Prof. Burr, in his answers to
Chairman Hepburn. was unable to throw
much light on the financial record of the
commission.
