Chagres river. Whether the final de
cision be for a tide level or for Il Loeb
canal, a method must be devised tC
control the Chagres when 1t becomes
raging torrent, to store water I'm the
rainy season for use In the dry season
and to send the surplus through some
other channel to the sea.
Under plans of French engineers,
made on a basis OF controlling the food
waters on an eighty-five foot level, the
cost was estimated at $36,000,00O and
many Americans have doubted whether
even this enormous expenditure would
protect the canal. As result OF sur
veys made by Americans within the
last year 1t Is announced here that the
water can absolutely be controlled by
means Of a dam at an elevation of
1875 feet and Mt an approximate say
Ing Of $27 ,9O3, 900 from the French est
mate.
In the dry seasons the flow Of the
river becomes almost insignificant for
control; the discharge becomes two
hundred times smaller than In periods
Of the greatest foods. Near where
the Chagres crosses the canal location
Its tributary, the Bias Obispo river en-
ters with the water from the drainage
up to the continental divide. Below
Oblspo the Chagres flows to San
Pablo through a somewhat restricted
valley with tortuous windings In
narrow alluylal plain, requiring con-
densely wooded hills narrow In and af-
ford the dam sites Of the various canal
projects.

Rand POWDER MILLS EXPLODE
Nineteen Men Known to Be Dead
Large Number lnjured-All
Windows Broken in
Passing Train.

Connelsville, Pa, Sept. 10.-The
Rand Powder mills at Fairchance, six
miles south of Uniontown, were en-
tirely wiped out by an explosion. OF
the 80 men who went to work in the
mills 10 are known to be dead. Of
these, 10 have been identified.
Besides nine of the factory force
who were seriously injured, scores of
people in the town of Fairchance,
within half a mile of the powder
mills, were more or less painfully in
jured.
The explosion occurred in a car
of powder and was followed a few
moments later by another and heavier
one, when the flames ignited the
large magazine,
One of the odd features of the affair
, is that passenger train No. 81 on the
Baltimore & Ohio, from Morgantown
| to Connellsville, was passing the scene
at the time the explosion occurred
The train was Jared tremendously
and every window was broken. A mum
| Der of the passengers were cut by the
showers of glass which fell about and
several were seriously hurt.
A majority of the dead men were
single, although several of them leave
families.
When the bodies were recovered the
work of identification was very diff
ficult.
The hole where the magazine explod-
ed is about Is feet deep and SO yards
square.
Conservative estimates place the
loss to the Rand company at several
hundred thousand dollars. There are
also extensive losses to private prop
erty in all surrounding towns.

WORkMEN IN NEED OF FOOD.
Canal Laborers Who Do Bulk Of Work
Are Half Starved.

Are Half Starved.
President Roosevelt has received a
telegram from Hudgins and Dumas
protesting against the letting of con-
tract by Chairman Shonts of the 18th
milan canal to j. E. Markell of Omaha,
for the hotel and subsistence conces-
sions in the Panama zone.
The threatened starvation Of Pana-
ma canal laboTers was one of the
grounds which caused Mr.. Shonts,
chairman of Panama canal commits
sion, to accept the j. E. Markell bid
for supplying food to government EN-
ployes at Panama, causing two unsuc-
cessful bidders to protest to President
Roosevelt Chief Engineer John Ste
vens has been sending daily appeals
to the canal commissioners headquar-
ters to send his men food. 1t was SAID
by an authority that laborers who are
doing the hard work have been for
some time in half starved condition,
due to the fact that the demand for
food has raised the prices OF all COM
modities to abnormal figures in Pan
anna.
The dollar a day men, with eggs at
10 cents each and bad meat from 70 to
40 cents a pound, have gone for two
and three days at time without any
food except that got from sucking the
wild cane in the swamps. They have
gathered around the headquarters OF
officers begging for food, and daily
cables to Washington for food supplies
have been the result. In this emerg-
ency one of the reasons for accepting
the Markell bid, it is learned, was the
fact that he has an organized force
ready TO put into Panama at once.

Later Reports.

The effects of the earthquake were
more disastrous than at first reported.
Dispatches from the south give in
creasing lists of dead and injured the
numbers now running into the thou
sands. Martirano alone shows 1000
casualties, and at Lapolio 200. In
some cases whole families have been
wiped out. The greatest agitation con-
unues among lne populace, Slight
shocks are felt occasionally, and sub
terranean rumblings are still heard.
Those persons still possessing homes
refuse to enter them.
The worst is now considered to be
over. Those left destitute are begin.
| ming to feel the pangs of hunger, and
there is also much suffering by those
insutticiently clad. Succor is pouring
in from all quarters, but the restitution
is so widespread that it is impossible
to supply all the needs of the people.
In addition to the gift of $4,000 by
King Victor Emmanuel and ministerial
subsidies, newspapers in every part Of
Italy have opened subscriptions. Pub
lie sympathy has been aroused in an
exceptional degree, and everybody re-
CARDS the event as an awful calamity.
Officers and private citizens in the af-
fected provinces and throughout the
kingdom are Fastening to assist in the
work of rescue, and are displaying al
most superhuman energy in these eff
forts.
Official figures OF victims of the
earthquake in the province of Catan-
faro show that 450 dead have already
been found that about 1000 were in
jured, and that there are an enormous
number of persons without shelter.
At Messina, Sicly, the walls of many
houses and churches were cracked by
the earthquakes and otherwise were
more or less seriously damaged.

ITALY EARTHQUAKE
THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST AND
EIGHTEEN TOWNS RUINED.
Worst Ever Experienced-OVer 1000
Persons Killed and Great Number
njured-Shock Lasted 10 Seconds
Terror Was scribable-ReIief
Hurried to Scene.

Rome, Sept. 10.-All Italy is suffer
ing from terrible depression because OF
the news from the south, where one OF
the worst earthquakes ever expert
enced occurred. Although the earth
quake was felt over Calabria and to a
certain extent in Sicily, the worst news
comes from Pizzo and Monteleone and
from Is villages, which are said to
have been completely destroyed.
The shock was felt at 1855 O'Clock
this morning. 1t lasted for Is seconds
at Catanzaro and soon thereafter was
felt at Messina, Reggie, Monteleone
Martirano, StefacOmi, Piscopio, Ira
PAM, Zammaro, Cessani, Nadia, Olivad
and other points.
Scenes of indescribable terror en-
sued. Women aroused from theiI
sleep rushed half clothed into the
streets screaming with fear, carrying
their babies and dragging along theiI
other children and calling for help on
the Madonna and the saints. The men
escaped into the open with their fami
lies, all calling on their fayorite saints
for protection.
The general confusion was added tC
by dreadful cries from the jails, where
the prisoners were beside themselves
with fright and in some cases mutt
MED, but fortunately all the prisoners
were kent within hounds
Troops, engineers aAu doctors have
been hurried to the scenes of disaster
to assist in the work of rescue anC
salvage.
Troops have been dispatched to the
scenes of the disasters and engineers
have been sent to MartiranO, Nadia

Market for Corn Open to Texas.

Weatherford, Texas. -Realizing the
good work the leading papers of our
State are doing regarding diversified
ton and other matters pertaining to
the agricultural interest Of the State
and also their desire to serve their
readers, I desire to suggest matter,
which feel is of considerable interest
to the agricultural and grain interests
of Texas.
Now that there seems to be determ-
| ination on the part of the farmers to
decrease acreage of cotton, they are of
course looking for something to substi-
tute. OF course farmers do not like to
plant very much of any one product,
unless they know they will have a mar
ket. That is the reason 30 much cot
ton is planted, There is always a mar
ket at some price. The object Of this
article is to call attention OF the farm
ers and others interested to a new mar
ket, which will shortly be opened for
our Texas corn, and in view of the fact
that our corn comes in considerably
earlier than any other state. and as
we are located nearer the place than
any other state which produces any
considerable amount of corn, and as we
could get our corn catered and on the
market at time when other states are
out of the market virtually, it occurs 20
me that it would be better for the farm
ers, though late as it is. to put an in
creased acreage in corn this year, and
other years, 80 far as that is concerned
| refer to the establishment Of large
glucose factory by the Goyer Alliance
. Refining Company, with headquarters
at Memphis, Tenn. at Belle Alliance,
La which will consume something like
10000 bushele of corn daily during the
entire year, except November and De-
} cember. With a market like this, at
our door, with our unlimited acreage
suitable for raising corn, we ought to
produce as much or more corn than any
other state in the union. In order that
those interested may see that these
people are interested, give below copy
of letter | received from them a short
q time ago, to which replied, and also
extracts from second letter | received
from them.
Will you please publish this in your
: your semi-weekly edition as well az
2 your daily. Also request the weekly
{ papers throughout the corn raising sec.
tions of the state to copy the article.
Yours very truly,

are headed for Texas, via the gulf
port of Galveston. On the 10th,
North German Lloyd steamer
"Whittekind" sailed from Bremen
to Galveston with six hundred
passengers and immigrants. and it
is to be supposed that the largest
number of them will locate in Tex
as, while other steamers will bring
many more to that port.
