WINE FROM NEAR THE POLE

Bottle Still Contains Liquor That
 Greedy Left-Peary to Drink It.
 Perhaps the most remarkable bottle of liquor in the world in many respects was exhibited to several members of the Peary Arctic club in New York the other night It was left in the snows at Fort Conger by the i'll fattd Gree. ly expedition, and it was unexpectedly produced by Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the club, says the New York Times
 Commander Robert F. Peary, who will again try to find the north pole, found the bottle, which is uncracked and full of ancient yellow Chartreuse, in 1898, where the Greedy expedition had left it with other supplies that had to be forsaken. One year later he reached Grinnell Land and left it in cache addressed Herbert L. Bridg. man." He tied tendon of a walrus around the middle of the bottle and placed a letter inside the band. This is the letter as preserved by MT. Bridgman:
 Grinnell Land, June 1899
 My Dear Bridgman - Don't think I have found bar up here or that our repertoire of spirits includes such deli- cacies as liqueurs and the wherewithal for mixed drinks.
 When reached Fort Conger last June found one bottle of Chartreuse. The contents may be good. bad or indifferent. but they have lain within 800 miles of the pole for eighteen years and for eighteen times have been colder than I hope you ever will be. PEARY.
 The bottle was exhibited at family party at the Hamilton club, Brooklyn. Among those present were Mrs. Bridg- man, who has been a worldwide trav- eler. as well as Mrs. Peary and Mir. Bonsail. one of the survivors of the Greedy expedition.
 MT. Bridgman said he would open the bottle when Peary returned from his search for the pole.

PANAMA CANAL LABOR TESTS
Experiments Are to Be Made With
 Various Natfonalities.


 Tn order to test the capacity for work of Italians, Chinese and Japa- nese and also the contract method of securing and handling laborers the Panama canal commission has decided to import 1000 men of each nationality for a 500 day contract, subject to re- newal, says the Washington Post Pro- posals for furnishing these laborers will soon be issued. It is the object of the commission to reduce the amount of this sort of labor as much as possible by the introduction of mod ern machinery, but it will be neces- sary to secure several thousand addi- tionai workmen.
 The number of 1000 was chosen be- cause of being the approximate ca- pacity of one ship at time. The la borers will be furnished by contractors and will have to be delivered before the 1st of December next The gov ernment will furnish free hospitals and medical attendance. unfurnished quar- ters. fuel for cooking and water. Un- der l recent decision of the attorney general laborers will work eight hours a day.
 The class of laborers going to the isthmus will not be entitled to enter the United states because of an act of the last congress which made the immigration laws of the United States applicable to persons coming from the canal zone to the United States. All legal questions involved as well as precautions to be taken to obviate in justice and hardship to Isborers hired by contractors. are now under con sideration by the legal advisers of the commission
