PerpIexing Panama Problem

Chicago, Sept. 29.-"George Ehle,
an American engineer, with party
OF young college graduates, in four
months has made discoveries about
the Panama Canal which the French
engineers failed to make in fifteen

possible to solve the battling problem
of the Chagres River ireshets, by
diverting the stream to the Pacific
Coast. 1t also releases $4,000, 900
for excavating q ses-level waterway.

Wallace, who recently returned from
the isthmus.
"In their explorations" said the
chief engineer, Resident Engineer
George Ehle and his college lads en-
dured hardships that 1t took Ameri-
can pluck to overcome. They spent
four months in the tropical jungle
tracing the course and source OF the
Chagres River, whose springfreshets,
sometimes forty feet high, 30 far
have proved an insuperable obstacle
to sea-level canal project"
By the use Of data collected by the
Ehle party, Mr.. Wallace said that it
would possible to divert the
Chagres from the Caribbean slope to
the Pacific side 81 the isthmus. This
could be done at an approximate
cost Of 100000 releasing $780,

NEW YORK, July 19.-"The demo
crats-there are million of them
who refused to support the party tick
ct in the last two campaigns, have
come back again to man." Delaney
Nicoll said today. They are not
only back, but enthusiastic, and not
only that, but have brought an army
of republicans with them.
There are more than 100000 of
these democrats in this state" he
added, and their vote for Parker
this year will make New York as
certainly democratic as any Southern
state"
Delaney Nicoll, was one Of the chief
movers in the gold movement in 1895,
and spoke by authority as to the
wholesale return to the party of the
gold boilers.
He points out that Gov. Odell was
elected by only 5000 votes and that
with the gold democrats of the state
united behind Parker this margin can
be wiped out and a democratic ma
jority of $4,000 rolled up.
THE vote polled by Palmer and
Buckner,' he said, lis no accurate
measure of the number of these men.
The great majority of them voted for
Mckinley direct. Now these men are
satisfied that there is no longer any
reason for their remaining out of the
party.

DAWSON, n. Y, July 19.-Thirty-
five saloons have been forced to close
in Dawson and on the creeks as a re-
suit of Congdon's license commission
er's refusal to renew the licenses for
the ensuing year. No reason is
given, but all the proprietors of the
saloons closed are known to be anti
Congon men or Americans.

Gov. Congdon even tried to cOerce the
federal employees into line, but with
no success with the employees Of the
postoffice, customs house and tele-

men and advised Postmaster Hart
man to dismiss them. Hartman wired
the postmaster general at ottawa and
learned that his orders would come
from ottawa and the governor was ig-

Business men all unite in denouncing
the measures adopted, saying the
graft must stop, and an investigation
be held, as the government of Yu-
kon is rotten to the core.
George Butler, the proprietor of the
Pioneer saloon. the oldest and best
