CONSTRUCTION OF CANAL
GOVERNMENT WILLING TO ENTER
n INTO coNTRAcTssFoR ALL OR
ANY PORTION OF WORK.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The govern
ment Of the United States is willing
to enter into contracts with corpora
tons or individuals for the construc-
ton of any portion, or all, of the Pan.
anna canal; This statement was made
by Secretary Taft during the day
while discussing conditions upon the
isthmus and the policy Of the govern
ment. There is some doubt in his
mind whether any concern would be
willing to undertake the excavation of
the Culebra cut because OF the magni-
tude Of that work. It is not the ex-
cayation that will be SO difficult so
much as the disposition of the earth
taken from the cut. But as to the
other work the government will be
ready to enter into contracts for its
completion as soon as 1t is deter
mined what type OF canal shall be
constructed. It is stated that con-
tracts could not be made during the
preliminary stages Of the work be-
cause the government had to prosecute
the CONSTRUCTION until its officers knew
what was to be done and had a sufi-
cient knowledge Of the conditions to
pass upon bids and make judicious
contracts. 2 u @sa { saS,

Threatened Strike Of FIFTY Thousand

New York, Oct. 24.-It is admitted
by Valentine Hoffman,, business agent
IT local No. 70S of the Transfers un-
.on, that unless the 225 employing
lruckmen and the 1890 teamsters in
this local sign, an agreement for a
closed shop within a few days the
strike, which has already been de-
clared against Thomas Orr, a truck
nan, will be made general
So far only about a dozen of the en-
'loyers have signed such an agreement
and they are. not among the largest
employers. If the others continue to
stand firm all the drivers will be or
dered out. It is declared by. men that
other locals Of the International
Broth erhood of Transfers stand ready
to aid them by a sympathetic strike.
With the $4,000 men Of the twenty
two chapters Of the Transfers union
on strike many branches of industry
in the city would be paralyzed. That
serious rioting, such as occurred in
Chicago, is feared even in the present
stage Of the conflict is evident from
the orders which have been given to
the police. "

officials, although they were aware of
what would be pleaded in the addi-
tional plea, the Issuance of an injunc-

plea sets up assertions concerning in.

IMPRESSIVE NAVAL SIGHT.
Japanese Emperor Reviews Vessels Of
His Victorious Fleet. <

=
KS Toxic. Oct. 24.The naval review
passed off without the slightest hitch.
It was most impressive sight, not,
however, on account of the class and
number OF the ships, but as conglom-
Grafton of fighting craft fresh from the
war and crowned with victories Of un-
precedented magnitude. Three hun
ared and eight warships, including a
number Of vessels captured from the
Russians, were drawn up In six lines.
The emperor, on board the cruiser
Asania, passed along the front of the
first line, which was headed by the
battleship Shikishima, Admiral Togo's
flagship. When the Nicolai l., which
was at the end Of the line, was reached
the cruiser Asama headed due north
and then In a westerly direction, enter.
Ing between the second and third EAes,
and afterwards resumed her original
position. During this maneuver Adj
miral Togo was at the emperor's side.
The emperor then received in audience
Pn board the Asama Admiral Noel and
ihe captains Of the British and Amer
lean Warships present,
The weather was fair, but it was
misty on the water. Popular enthu-
siasm was aroused to the highest pitch.
Besides the thousands who witnessed
the naval pageant from all sorts of
large and small vessels In the bay all
the available points Of vantage along
the shore were densely crowded with
eager spectators. The spectacle caused
much JOY and satisfaction among the
Japanese, especially in the breasts of
those who recalled that only forty years
have elapsed since at that very spot
no warships except those Of foreign
powers had ever foated.
