ADMIRAL WALKER DISCUSSES
THE PANAMA CANAL WORKS

Washington, March 19.-In conclud-
ing his hearing before the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce to-day Admiral Walker, presi-
dent of the Panama Canal Commits
sion, stated that actual work on the
canal would be begun after the COM
mission had made a stay of a few
weeks on the isthmus, for which it
was to sail March 20. The arrange
ments for this work will be completed
in Washington, where the commission
is to have one of it's headquarters.
Admiral Walker, in answer to a
question, said that large number
of inspectors would be employed by the
commission. These inspectors would
be engineers, and he did not want the
law to provide that they should be
selected through the Civil Service Com
mission.
Admiral Walker advised that no re-
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

quirement Of law should make 1t neces-
sary to do the work by contract If
this should be the case he believed con-
tractors might combine to the disad-
vantage of the government.
1t was the intention of the commits
sion, he said, to continue actual work
on the canal as now being carried on
by the French company, in order to
demonstrate the exact cost of such
work.
The engineering feat of the whole
enterprise was explained to be the con-
struction of the Bohio dam. It will
be necessary to go 120 feet below sea
level to get the proper foundation, for
this dam. The Admiral, however, had
no doubt that it was feasible to con-
struct the dam.
On the question Of sea level canal,
Admiral Walker. declared positively
that in his opinion it would never be
necessary TO go to the expense of con-
structing such canal. A lock canal
would do all the work required, and
cost much less.

OXFORD'S GRADUATES FOR 1904
pennant Winning Glass in College AthIeti

Emory College, Oxford, Ga, March
19.-Only little more than two months
intervene before the senior class of
Emory College will be graduated on
Wednesday, June 8.
In many respects the class of 1904
stands unique among the classes that
have gone out during the past decade.
In athletics its achievements are I'M
paralleled. For three successive years
the class has carried off the pennant
in the big cross-country relay race
a sport to be found in the South only
at Emory College-and as many times
have been the custodians of the COL
lege basketball pennant. In the inter
class series of football games last fall
the class team took the college flag,
establishing the record for piling up
the highest score against an opposing
team, while the goal line was never
crossed during the entire season.

LIVERPOOL WAS NOT
IN A PANIC OVER 1T,

Liverpool, March 19.-The cotton mar
ket here to-day presented lively APP
pearance in view of the Sully crash
in New York, which was not announc-
ed until after this market had closed.
The galleries and balconies of the ex-
change were filled with on-lookers, and
in the ring the brokers were waiting
until the opening bell rang. They
then gave vent to the pent up excite
ment which had existed before the
opening.
The market opened rs to Al points
lower The low point was reached in
the first fifteen minutes of trading.
The excitement continued, but sup
porting orders in the active positions,
May-June, July-August, and October
November were executed, and a rally
of about 10 points followed. Trading
was unusually heavy, the recorded
transactions in July-August up to
1918 o'clock numbering fifty-three, or
more than three times the business
during the same time on an ordinary
day.
In the last half hour of the short
session the market was quieter and
prices fell away slightly, but finally
closed steady, at net loss of 80 to
Al points.
The official spot quotations were re-
duced so points, American middling be-
ing quoted at 7.74d.
The effect of the suspension of Sully
d Co. was not so great as expected.
Although there was great excitement
during the first few minutes, there was
absolutely no panic, the market being
a good one considering eveFythingt
Buying orders were plentiful. Spin
ners, no doubt would have liked the
market to drop further, burt the feel
ing generally is that the Lancashire
trade will probably be healthier after
the excitement passes away.

But not only in athletic accomplish
mentS is the class entitled to special
distinction. Upon the day of gradua-
ton in June the members will endow
a scholarship to be known as the
1904 scholarship with a principal of
$4,000. This laudable undertaking was
actuated by the hope that each sue
ceeding graduating class would follow
this initiative, which, if carried out,
will be of inestimable benefit to Emory
College.
In point of numbers the senior class
this year is slightly weaker than that
OF last year. There are forty members,
of whom thirty-one are from Geor-
ga hve from Florida, and one each
rom North Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
pdma ana Oklahoma Territory. Seven
OF Its members will enter the Metho-
dlst ministry; tire will go as mis-
Sqonarles to foreign countries: six
VIII teach, seven will practice law,
while the rest will engage in various
business pursuits.
The officers of the class are: Nolan
Goodyear, of Waycross, dux; w. D.
Connor, of Social Circle, historian
Jesse Seaborn Weathers, of Union,
prophet; Boyce Ficklen, Jr., of Wash

party of $50 members of Congress. as
guests Of the Jamestown Exposition
Company, made pilgrimage to James
town Island to-day, and viewed with
interest the historic ruins that mark
the spot of the first Anglo-Saxon set
Element on the Western Hemisphere.
The party visited the foundations of
the building in which the first legis-
lative body of America held its first
session.
The object of the pilgrimage was to
arouse interest among the congressman
in the exposition to be held on the
shores of Hampton Roads in 1907, to
celebrate the three hundredth ami
versary of the first settlement.
After leaving jamestown the con-
gressmen visited Newport News and

Brunswick. Ga, March 19.-The DEM
ocratic Executive Committee Of Glynn
county met at the Court House to-
day and named April 20 as the date
for the county primary.
Probably the most interesting sub
ject that came up for discussion at
the meeting was that of naming dele
gates to the convention, and Glynn
county will probably select them diff
ferently from any county In the state.
A resolution was offered and adopted
that the voters choice for President
be placed on the ticket. That is, on
the regular state ticket to be voted
at the primary will be the following:
MY choice for the presidential NOM
nation is -," and each voter
will insert the name of the man he
favors for the Democratic nomination.
Those to be voted for will probably
be Parker, German and Hearst.
Then. when the Executive Commit
tee meets after the primary to name
delegates to the state convention, men
will be selected who represent the
number of votes.
A poll of those present showed that
Judge Parker had a good majority,
while one or two of the members fav-
ored German or Cleveland. There was
not Hearst advocate at the meet
ing.
Carnegie No Candidate.
After announcing that he would in
all probability be in the race for the
state Senate from the Fourth district,
Andrew Carnegie of Dungenness an
nounces this week that he will not be
in the race, and thanks those who
have assured him of their support for
the honor. Mr.. Carnegie says:
Il will not be a candidate for the
state Senate from the Fourth Georgia
district. After careful consideration I
have reached this conclusion. 1 high
ly appreciate the sentiment of the peo-
pie that prompts them to wish to con-
fer this honor upon me, and / accept
the same as a compliment, but at this
time will not be able to accede to
their wishes, but at some future time
hope to show them my gratitude"
1t was announced months ago that
Mr. Carnegie had stated that he would
offer for the Senate if the people of
Camden so wished, but that he did not
desire to enter political contest for
the place. 1t is known that there was
considerable opposition to his candi-
dacy, and another candidate was men,
toned. In this connection it is gen.
orally understood that ]. S. N. Davis,
Jr., a prominent merchant of Wood
bine, will be in the race.
