departing from the isthmus unless he
obtained the permission of the War De-
partment.
While the administration claims to
have a grievance against Mr.. Wallace,
he, on the other hand, is prepared, it Is
said, to make out a bill OF complaint
against the Washington officials, the
chief feature of which will be that the
canal will never be built within the pres
emit century if politics and departmental
interference are allowed to hamper the
work Of those on the ground.
1t is said that previous estimates OF
$25O,OO0,OOO cost and ten years time
for the completion of the canal will have
to be more than trebled if the actual re-
suits of the past month are taken as a
criterion.
The astonishing statement is made by
one well informed on Panama affairs
that at the rate of excavation accom-
plished in the month of May the compile
ton of the canal would require more
than 100 years. The cost of the exca-
walton at the same time has increased
three or four times the unit figure used
in estimating the total cost of the water
way.
Mr.. Wallace is to become the head or
the Metropolitan Railway Company's
new subway system in New York, a
great undertaking, destined to yield enor-
NOUS profits. Paul Morton had virtu-
ally accepted the place when he was Sc
lected as the head Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society. Mr.. Wallace's sal
airy on the canal has been $4,000 year.
and report has it that he will begin in
New York City at 100000 year.
One official graphically expressed Mr..
Wallace's decision to resign by the state
ment that he had got 'cold feet" There
no longer is any question that the vel
low fever situat ton on the isthmus is far
worse than generally was believed. Re-
turns which have been received in Wash
ington show that there is more sickness
during the present year than has pre-
vailed during the last twelve years, nine
of which were under French administra-
ton. The result is that employees are
leaving the zone by every steamer, and
the commission finds difficulty in getting
men to accept positions.
The President is doing everything he
can to bring about the immediate i'm
provement. He has authorized Gov. Ma
COON and Major Gorgas, medical officer
in charge of sanitation, to adopt any
measures they may consider advisable to
eradicate yellow fever from the isthmus.

ENJOYS ARE NAMED.
Observation-Disclosures Vested with Peace
Powers Appointed.

Powers Appointed.
The announcement made officially
by President Roosevelt of the names
of the plenilotel tlacies who Will rep
resent Russia and Japan in the peace
conference at Washington carries with
it the information that the President
has been completely successful III MS
diplomatic insistence that the repre-
sentatives of both nations be clothed
with full power and authority to act
for their governments and to conclude
lasting peace treaty.
The representatives who will meet
authorized to bind their respective gov
ernments to the conditions on which
they agree, are:
Russian = Ambassador Muravleff,
formerly Minister of Justice and now
ambassador to Italy, and Baron Ro-
sen, recently appointed as ambassador
to the United States to succeed Count
Cassini
Japanese-Baron Komura, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and Kogoro TAXA
hira. minister to the United States.
The appointment of the plenipoten-
tiaries was made in the following
statement issued by Secretary Loeb
by direction of the President:
The President announces that the Rus
sian and japanese governments have no
titled him that they have appointed the
plenipotentiaries to meet here (Washing-
tom as soon after the first of August a:
rIon
tiaries are Ambassador Muravietf, for.
merly minister of justice and now ambas-
sador at Rome, and Ambassador Rosen.
The japanese plenipotentiaries are Baron
Komura. now minister of foreign affairs,
and Minister Takahira.
1t is possible that each side may send
one or more additional representatives
The plenipotentiaries of both Russia and
Japan will be intrusted with full power
to negotiate and conclude treaty OF
peace, subject, of course, to ratification
by their respective home governments.
The clause referring to the ratitica-
ton of treaty by the home govern
ments is not considered to detract in
any degree from the power of the
plentipotentiaries, who are vested
with as full treaty authority as is
ever bestowed, an authority which is
eminently satisfactory to the Presi-
dent as we'll as to both parties to the
conference.
The Japanese government had ex-
pressed it's intention to vest its repre-
sentatives at the conference With
treaty powers, but Russia showed
some reserve in the matter and the
government at Toxic showed reluct-
ance to hold conference with emissa-
ries from Russia who had less power
and who could undertake their work
with the understanding that st. Pc
tersburg was acting in all sincerity.
The President concurred in this view
He maintained that only by clothing
the ENJOYS with ample authority to
act for their respective governments
could lasting peace be achieved.
The Presidents announcement prac-
tically concludes the preliminary ne
gotiations for peace. Minor details re-
main yet to be arranged, but the con-
ference now seems to be assured.

GOOD ADVANCE MADE BY CROPS
Progress Is Satisfactory, Though Re.
ports Are Not Uniform.

Progress Is Satisfactory, Though Re-
ports Are Not Uniform.
The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
The region from the upper lakes west
ward to the north Pacific coast received
insufficient heat, lack of sunshine being
especially unfavorable in Washington
and Oregon, but elsewhere the tempera-
ture conditions were favorable. Excess
sively heavy rains occurred in the central
and west gulf districts and in portions
of the central Missouri and Ohio valleys,
lower lake region and New England,
while portions of the south Atlantic
States and central and eastern Missouri
continue to suffer from drought. Sun
shine lis generally needed in the central
gulf States, Tennessee, Ohio Valley and
lower lake region.
Except in the upper Missouri and Red
River of the North valleys, where, as
result of low temperatures, the growth
of corn has been slow, this crop has
made good progress, although suffering
somewhat from lack of cultivation in por-
tons of the Ohio valley and middle At
lantic States and in central and western
Nebraska. In Iowa corn has made Wig

Gated, and the outlook in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, where early corn has
reached the silk and tassels, is very fav-
orable. Recent rains have greatly i'm
proved the condition of corn in Texas.
Heavy rains have interrupted the har-
vesting of winter wheat in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and portions of the
middle Atlantic States, but elsewhere
this work has progressed favorably, and
is near completion in Missouri and south
ern Kansas. Harvest is now in progress
in the northern portion of the winter
wheat region. Some complaints of rust
and weeyil in central and western Ohio
and of smut in New York are received,
and some grain in shock has been dam

gee
In Illinois corn is promising and fur

trail and heading in the northern part;
some are short, but generally the out
look is favorable. Wheat harvest ex-
tends to the northern portion; yield is
good in the central and below the aver
age in the South. The yield of clover
is heavy; timothy is short Grapes and
berries are promising. Apples are fall
ing, and light crop is indicated. Po-
tatoes are cut short in the southern por-
ton.
Except in low lands, in southern Iowa
and portions of the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, the oat crop has advanced favora-
bly, and continues in promising condition.
In Texas rains interfered with harvest
ing and in Tennessee caused some injury
to oats in shock.
Spring wheat on low lands in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota is suffering some
what from rust, but as whole this crop
has made vigorous growth and continues
in promising condition throughout the
spring wheat region and also on the
north Pacific coast.
