Epidemic Began---Immigrants
Must Be Detained.

Berlin, Sept 2-Itis officially an
nonnced that forty three cases, and
seven deths, have occurred from cholera
in Germany since the epidemic began.
The United States immigration officials
have ordered that all immigrants
bound for America must be determined

Washington, Sept. 2.-Eminent engi-
neers of America and Europe met here
during the day on the call of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to investigate and
make recommendations as to the type
of canal that is to connect the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The members were met by Chairman
Shonts, who, in a few words appro-
pirate to the occasion, expressed the
belief that good results would follow
their deliberations.
The board Of consulting engineers
will have referred to it all the data
that has been collected by the COM
mission bearing on the subject of a
type of canal. This data may be suffi-
cient for the board to determine
whether the canal should be construct
ed with locks or should be sea level
canal and if the former should be rec
ommended then details as to the char
acter of locks will be taken under dis
cussion The recommendations Of
the consulting engineers will not be
final, but will be made to the 18TH
mian canal commission, which in turn
will use it's own judgment in re-
port and recommendation to the pres
ident. The final conclusion as to the
type of canal will be settled by the
president and congress. In calling the
board Of consulting engineers to-
gether the president directed that in
case there was difference of opinion
among members of the board there
should be minority reports. 1t was
also stated that the board might visit
the istkmus before making it's final
report if it should be deemed neces-
sary.
The board of consulting engineers
will not have referred to it detailed
questions of engineering connected
| with the construction of the canal
after the type has been determined.
Beyond making recommendation as
to the type of canal, whether locks or
sea level, together with suggestions
as to the method of constructing the
lock canal, its duty as at present de-
fined and understood by the commits
sion will cease.

The ceremony of signing "the treaty
of Portsmouth" will be as quiet and
as unostentatious as possible. Both
sides desire to avoid any spectacular
features. Both realize that, for differ

YORK HORSES ON PARADE.
Boston Method Of Securing Better
Treatment of Them.

Boston. May 26.-One Of the most interesting
annual shows held i'm this city is the Boston
work horse parade. which viii be held this year
on May 80 by the Boston Work Horse Parade
Association. an organization which includes some
Of the leading citizens Of the Hub. All work
horses except hack and cab horses} that not
docktailed, sick. lame, out of condition other
wise unfit for work may be entered for prizes
The horses are classified according to the bust
ness IN which they are used prizes being award
ed for condition and manners and for comfort
able Harvesting. Age counts in favor of the
horse instead of against him, and, other things
being equal to the elder horse is awarded the
prize.
The underlying motive is to foster intelligent
and humane treatment Of work horses. The
number Of prizes is in proportion to the number
Of entries. At the last two parades at least half
the exhibitors received prizes, and at the COM
Ing parade this proportion viii be increased
These prizes consist Of of money for the
driver. q ribbon for the horse and a diploma for
The owner
The prizes are primarily for good hard-work
ing condition docile and gentle manners, show
ing that the horses have been kindly treated,
and for comfortable Harvesting. Harness that
is light but strong enough to do the work re-
CURED IF it is preferred heavier harness. This
rule is observed especially in respect 10 brides
and other parts in which great strength is not
required The value or newness of the harness
does not count, and the vehicle is not considered.
except that vehicle too heavy otherwise I'M
fit for the horse disquaIif1es the entry.
A notable feature Of the parade is the old
horse class, open to horses now in active service
that have been owned and used by the person
making the entry by his predecessor in the
business for not less than fifteen years prior to
the entry.
Another interesting class is the veteran
driver class. in which the Humane Education
Society offers a SO silver medal to the driver In
the parade who has been the longest continuous
time in the service of his present employer or
predecessor of that employer. In addition a
bronze medal Is given to every other driver in
this class who has seen twenty years or more
Of service with the same employer.
The first parade Of the association was held on
Memorial Day, 1909, and experiment in
this country II was, however. an immense sue
cess There We're 40 exhibitors, making a pa
rade more than three miles long. Last year there
were 500 entries Moreover, according TO the
testimony Of surgeons, owners, drivers, horse
sboer and other persons in different parts Of the
civ the good effects Of the parade have been
lasting. Horses are better groomed, harnesses
are kept cleaner, and in general teamsters take
more interest in their work The example set by
Boston has already been followed in Kansas
City. and e Similar parade is projected In Bal

OWNS HIS OWN PLANTS.
Senator Clmk Gets ahead Of Con-
tractors ON His House.

Senator William A Clark, of Montana, whose
new home at 5th-aye. and 77th-st- has been in
process of construction since 1898, and is not
finished yet, has been driven to extremely
unusual though apparently effective course,
both to protect himself against eXtortions of
mechanics and to insure the completion Of his
house with reasonable speed. One after an
other Mr.. Clark has purchased in quick
cession six big plants producing material used
in the work his house. These purchases in
clude big granite quarry at North Jay, Me. a
stone finishing plant at Bangor, Me, marble
working plant, a woodworking factory and a
decorative plaster plant at Ravenswcod. Long
Island, and the Henry-Bonnard bronze foundry
in Manhattan.
Senator CIark's eyes were opened to what he
might expect in the construction Of his house
when Il granite company. with whom $500.
600 contract had previously been signed. raised
its figures to $3.50, 900. the ground that al
terations in the plans entailed greater expense
to the quarry. Senator Clark had anticipated
some such move. and before the astonished
tractors fairly realized what had happened he
had purchased a white marble quarry of his
own
Possessing a quarry. the ownership of a finish
ing plant became necessary, and excellent
one quickly purchased. 1t is estimated that
the quarry and this plant have saved Senator
Clark nearly 100000. The operation of the
decorative marble, wood and plaster factories
at Ravenswood. Long Island, has also resulted
IN great saving.
The recent purchase of the Henry-BOnnard
bronze factory in this city was undertaken by
Senator Clark more a means of eXpeditinS
work upon the house than for any other reason.
The bronze work is to be Il feature of the house
when completed, including it does many of
the largest pieces ever constructed in this city.
Because press of other work made it i'm
possible for the foundry to turn out the work
as rapidly as Senator Clark wished it, the pur-
chase of the entire plant decided upon by
him so that it could be exclusively devoted to
his work
The fact that Senator Clark has, by the
purchase of these different plants. held down the
expense attending the building of his house
must not be allowed to convey any misleading
ideas as to it's cost. The term economy in its
generally accepted use is msnomer when ap-
piled to the Clark house. Not even Mr.. Hull.
of the firm of Lord Hewlett & Hull. designers
of the house, dares fix with any degree of con-
fdence the date of it's completion. and its total
cost is matter yet in the realm of speculation.
The estimated cost when work begun six
years ago was $15OOOOO Now the actual cost
will probably soar to the 100000 mark if
not higher Just what figure viii be reached
is not yet known.
When done the house will include many inter
esting and unusual appointments. There viii
be a swimming pool a statuary hall and pict-
ure gallery having a movable stage so arranged
that it can be raised or lowered by electric
power converting the gallery when desired into
