Reported to Have Gone Down,

London, Oct. 20. - The Standard
prints dispatch from Vienna in this
mornings issue, stating a runor is
prevalent at Fiume, on the Adriatic
coast, that Cunard liner with 1900
emigrants ON hoard, which left that
city last week, has sunk off the Span

Considerable excitement has been
created here by the report, although it

Cured, London or Liverpool would
have received news Of it from a point
nearer the alleged scene OF the disaster
than Fiume.
Telegraphic inquiry made at Liver
pool, where the Cunard line has its
British offices, ELECTED no further news.
One of the officials declared he had re-
ceived no such report, and as far as he
knew, none Of his colleagues was in
possession of more information than
was given to the world by the Stand
ard. The Standard is reliable paper.
1t prints the Iumor without comment
ing on it, simply giving it for what it

LABOR IS SCARCE.
Louisiana Planters are Trying TO
Secure Foreigners.

New Orleans, Oct. 2l.-A great scar
city Of labor exists in Louisiana, and
the effect is being felt not only on the
plantations, but also on the extensive
levee work now in progress. Forty
nine state and district contracts outside
Of the work being done by the federal
government are under way. They
cover many miles OF new levee and re-
pair work. Most OF these contracts
are required to be finished by January
/, but the contractors are unable to
obtain laborers. Agents of the con-
tractors are in the city seeking hands.
There are also representatives Of
planting interests here today to meet
the incoming steamer LiguTia with
over 500 Italian immigrants. None
of these laborers are contracted for,
and the agents of the planters have
come to make terms with them as soon
as they leave the ship. Country ne
groes continue to gravitate to the city,
and that is given as one of the causes
for the scarcity OF labor.

STIR up PANAMA.
American Canal Commissioners
ANGER Republic.

New York, Oct. GA World spec.
ial from Washington says:
MATTERS have reached q point where
q strong hand is required 10 prevent not
only open rupture with Panama but
scandal In connection with the canal
commission. During It's short stay on
the isthmus members Of the commits
sion developed a feud among them
selves, while they were involving the
administration In trorble with Panama
and the result will be that two or more
OF the commissioners will be asked to
step out as quietly as possible after the
election.
Zone Of the two chief reasons for
sending Secretary Taft 10 the isthmus
clothed with plenary powers is that he
may fully investigate the conduct Of all
the commissioners aud decide which
ones shall be removed. The immediate
impelIing reason for his trip is 10 re-.
store friendly relations with Panama.
The president and Secretary Taft have
known all along Of the friction between
the commission and Panama and be-
tween the commission and Mr.. Barrett,
but IL was not until Mr.. Barrett sub
mitted his report on isthmian affairs
that there was any suspicion that some
Of the commissioners had been violat-
ing the presidents orders. At the
same time, IL was revealed by Mr. Bar
lett's report that the isthmians are on
the verge Of open revolt, with resort to
arms, against what they regard as The
high-handed and unwarranted actions
Of the canal commission in direct vio-
lation Of the canal treaty, both in letter
and spirit.
''The president was astounded at the
startling news brought by MIR. Barrett.
lie sent for William N. Cromwell,
counsel for Panama. 1t was demon
strated by Cromwell that the methods
employed by Admiral Walker and Gen.
efal Davis only served toauger the peo
pie OF Panama. The extent to which
those commissioners, who are slated for
rehoval, have offended is not divulged,
but it is charged that some Of them
have secrtely conveyed information Of
great value regarding prOsective con-
tracts to favored firms"

Growth OF Attendance Makes q
Change Necessary.

Corvallis-An almost complete reor-
ganization of the cadet battalion, and
its evolution into regiment, is con-
sequence of the largely increased at
tendance Of students at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college. Instead of about
250 men, the ranks are now swollen

TRANSMITS PROTEST TO JAPAN.
America Calls Attention to Alleged
Use of Chinese ClOthInG.

Washington, Oct. 24.-As indicated
in the Toxic dispatches, the Japanese
government, through Minister Takahiri
here, has entered formal protest
against the use of certain bodies of
Russian troops of Chinese clothing, the
offending troops being specified in the
complaint. The state department,
having assumed the care of Japanese
interests, has transmitted the Japanese
protest to Spencer Eddy, secretary of
the American embassy at st. Peters,
burg, and charge in the absence of
Ambassador Mccormick, for presenta-
tion to the Russian government.
1t lie understood here that the Chi
nese clothing was not used by the Rus
sian troops to deceive the enemy, but
simply to make good the failure of the
Russian quaratermaster's department
to supply much needed warm cloth ing
upon the sudden advent Of cold weather
in Manchuria.

japanese Have Suffered Terribly

Chicago, Oct. GA special to the
Daily News from Chetoo says:
According to a camp-follower, who
has been for some time with the Japan
ese army now besieging Port Arthur,
and who is at present in Chefoo, hav-
ing arrived from Dalny, the number of
Japanese killed before the forts has
reccl g $1,000. He says the mikado's
men recklessly attacked the strongest
positions, making bold rushes in mass
es, the soldiers being stripped OF their
&C ,outren ents and clothing. The re-
suit was that the Russian machine guns
moved them down.
He also asserts there is some talk
among the officers and men that leads
to the belief that the japanese mean to
try to carry the inner forts and citadel
this month.
