Carnegie Steel Company admit having
booked orders for 5000 tons of steel plate.
One order came from San Francisco for
1900 tons and another from New York for
the same amount. The fact that specifca-
tions for each order are identical leads
to the belief that each broker is buying for
the same consumer, and it is limited that the
orders were placed by the Japanese Gov
eminent.
The plates are to be made Of the highest
grade of nickel steel from one-half to three
quarters of an inch thick. These late
orders are in addition to the one received
by the Carnegie company about month
ago for 1890 tons of nickel steel plates
Merchant ships do not Use nickel steel
plates Of such high grade. Hence it is
known the plates are to he Ased to build
warships The Carnegie company officials

Government and that they do not know

PANAMA CANAL IN FIVE YEARS.
Commissioner HarrOd Thinks II VIII he
Open to Traffic Within That Time.


Open to Traffic Within That Time
WASHINGTON, Sept. ls.--Col. r. NJ. Harrod,
one Of the Panama Canal Commissioners,
Is Of the opinion that the great waterway
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
will be completed and thrown open to
traffic within five years. The Culebra cut,
he acknowledged, was the greatest obstacle
in the path of the canal engineers, but work
on that he said, was progressing favorably
and It's difficulties would be surmounted.
The plans for the entire canal are now being
prepared, and as soon as they are completed
work will be pushed.
Col Harrod thinks it will not be necessary
to employ such large force Of workmen
as has been suggested, no matter on what
scale the operations are conducted. : The
reason for this is the more extensive use
of labor saving machinery, than under
French management. Not more than 5000
men will, in this opinion, be necessary at
any one time. Only about 700 Jamaica
negroes and native Pansmans are now at
work, principally on the great cut at Culebra,
but even with the French machinery. more
is accomplished and at less cost than under
can machinery. especially the great steam
shovels, which have already been ordered.
the unit cost will be smaller and the prog
rees more rapid.
Col Harrod thinks there will be no induce
msnt for negroes to 60 from the United
States, as there will be no demand for them
and the wages paid are not high, consider
ing the cost OF living,
