lSTHMIAN CANAL
Commission To Be Reorganized With

was the first meeting of the executive
| committee of the isthmian canal commits
| sion and the details of the organization
were considered. Secretary Taft gave his
| mission, experimenting the instructions
| issued by the President.
The committee had a long and salts

named.
Another important conclusion related to
the assignment to duty of the four en-
ginccr officers of the canal commission.
who are not members of the executive
committee, namely. Admiral Endicott,
L.
Iarrod. 1t was decided to make these
four men a special engineering commits
sion quite apart from the board of con-
sulting engineers provided for in the
Presidents order. To this engineering
commission will be assigned the various
engineering problems arising in the
course of the construction Of the canal.
The labor problem was discussed at
length and it was resolved that contracts
should be made for the employment of
1000 Japanese and 1000 Chinese coolies in
| the canal construction. This is merely a
preliminary and experimental move. but
if it succeeds the engineers will have an
almost unlimited force of labor to draw
on. No opinion has yet been had from
the attorney general as to the right of
| the commission to employ its labor more
than eight hours daily, but it has satisfied
itself that there is no legal obstacle to
the employment of this coolie labor under
contract.
An interesting feature of the discussion
today, was statement by Engineering
| Commissioner Wallace to the effect that
it is entirely feasible to construct either
| tide level or lock canal across the 18TH
mus though he himself strongly favored
| the tide level project.
| During the conference the delegation of
| ministers of the west coast, South and
Central American republics who saw Sec
rotary Taft, Saturday. in connection with
an-American railroad rates, called at
the department and formally submitted
the memorial of which an abstract was
published, yesterday. defining their COM
plants.
Commissioner Wallace said that the en-
| tire road would be double-tracked and
supplied with an entirely new and modern
equipment of rolling stock; there would
he a fiat rate for all traffic, but trans
continental rates would not be much at
| footed.

So 1t seems that Mayor Purinton is
directly responsible for the increase in
price of the Sunday newspapers. 1t
would have been a prudent plan, some
one says, for the persons making such
statements to have asked the news
dealers a few questions, before launch
ing out SO confidently on this last at
tack. One of the local dealers, in
mentioning the subject referred to the
fact that, at the present time, every
city in Maine with the possible excep-
ton of Portland, had raised the prices
of the Sunday papers to exactly the
same as those recently established at
the news stands of this city. This
step. for which Mayor Purinton is said
to be responsible, has been contem-
plated months ago. and practically de-
clded upon. The decision might not
have been reached as quickly, had it
not been for the mayors action, but
any of the local dealers are ready to
stand by the statement that the prices
would have been raised in the near
future to exactly what the papers were
sold for last Sunday. Simultaneous
with the change in the prices in Wa
tervlile. the same changes were de-
cided upon in Fairfield and Augusta.
The papers are to be delivered at the
houses OF the regular customers by
boys whose ages must exceed Is years.
No papers are to be sold on Main
street. but persons applying while the
boys are travelling through the resi-
Dental sections of the town will be ac-
commodated. This arrangement is
thought to be perfectly satisfactory by
those engaged in the Sunday traffic of
the papers. There seems to be no
doubt that, even if the public is being
robbed to the extent of about s.OOOOI
per person, the advantage of having
comparatively quiet streets on Sunday
mornings. should place this beyond
consideration.

CANADIAN FISHERIES
Will Be Subject For Discussion Be-

Washington, April 12.-Among the
subjects to be discussed by Sir MOrti-
mer Durand, the British ambassador at
Washington, when he sees Lord Lans-
downe. in London next month. is the
Canadian fisheries. Since coming to
Washington, the ambassador and Sec
retary Hay have given the subject
careful consideration and have spent
many hours in conference on it. The adj
minstration has no sympathy with the
opposition of certain New England
sen& tors to the HayBond treaty, and
1t hopes the senate will ratify that con-
vention at its next session. in view "f
the fact as the administration claims
that this opposition finds little support
in New England according to the in
formation reaching the administration.

At Colby.

There was something doing on the
Colby campus. Wednesday afternoon,
and the interested spectator had to
spread himself pretty thin in order 10
become familiar with all that was go
ing on.
Naturally the first object of interest
was "Cap'n Johns" baseball squad. all,
decked out in new toys. The royal
blue" of stockings, jerseys and caps is
SHADE that makes the wheels buzz
even in the head of a calm and collect
ed spectator on the beachers. What the
effect will be on the opponents of the
team, time alone will tell. The first
team still remains about the same as
to its men. Tribou was in left field.
Wednesday. and Reynolds finished
practice in right. that Tilton might be
given thorough trial at second. Both
men have about an equal show.
1t is hitting and base-rurning that is
going to count for the new men; there
are a lot of good fielders in the bunch.
This point was given considerable
stress. to the great profit of several of
the men. who cracked everything that
came their way. Others are not quite
up 10 concert pitch but will be given
a cnance for considerable period in
order to keep the other fellows hustling
for their jobs.
Shortly after O'clock regular prac-
tice closed, and Coombs, Dwyer, Tiltm
and Pugsley ran off infield signals.
Then "Cy" and Pug" limbered up at
twirling, Dwyer standing the racket
without turning hair. He is certainly
a worthy successor of Cowing, though
of an entirely different style. Small,
wiry, with endurance to set off in
pyrotechnics he received his early base
ball training down among the granite
lodges of Knox county, where they play
ball with the same whole-souled energy
that they put into hewing out giant
columns to adorn some great building

something snaps. Thus it IS that "Cy's''.

and will be all right if he can only find
some way to break his hoodoo. As 1t
is, he is giving the grandstand and GER
