The row between Mr. Ramsey and Mr..
Gould arose primarily over the extension
OF the Wabash into Pittsburg. This ex-
tension was built by Mr.. Ramsey and It
proved very expensive. Mr.. Ramsey's
ideas of financing the extension differed
radically from those of Mr. Gould and the
greatest confusion resulted which has only
recently been partly cleared up. Another
cause OF the row was the Little Kanawha
Syndicate. which Mr.. Ramsey sold to the
Gould rivals. 1t was said that Mr.. Gould
and Mr.. Ramsey couldn't agree on price.

rumors.
On the other hand it is declared that q

is exaggerated. 1t is reported that Great
Britain is being urged to intervene to pre-
vent fighting. Fridjof Nansen. who is

to that end.
The Copenhagen correspondent Of the

Britain would be considered incompetent
to arbitrate. the candlIsture Of Prince
Charles Of Denmark for the Norwegian
throne making her an interested party.
The correspondent records that it Ia the
impression in Copenhagen that the situa-
ton is improving somewhat and that the
controversy can be settled without foreign
Intervention.
If, however arbitration should be adopted
1t is likely to be undertaken jointly by
Russia, Germany and France. which
countries, 1t is rumored, have already
exerted influence at Stockholm in the direo-
tion OF peace.

Dumas Got Panama Food Privilege.
OYSTER BAY, Sept. l4.-President Roose-
welt made public to-day the report OF Chair
man Theodore P. Shonts of the Isthmian
Canal Commission in regard to the protest
of Hudgins Il Dumas against awarding
to Jacob f. Markell Of Omaha the privilege
of feeding workers on the Isthmian Canal
1t is known tn at the President has ap-
proved Mr.. Shonts's action in giving the
contract to Markell.
Mr. Shonts says that when he went to
the Isthmus in July he found MIR. Markell
there studying the situation at the invita-
ton of Chief Engineer Wallace. Mr.. Mar
kel was told that bid from him for feed
ing the workmen would be acceptable.
Later Mr. Shonts received letters from
Hudgins Il Dumas and Harry Ralfe ask
ing for the privilege Of bidding. They were
invited to do so. The specifications pre-
pared by Mr.. Shonts were for a general
menu. Hudgins 4 Dumas suggested
a special weekly menu. and 1t was inserted
in the specifications with their approval.
The bid OF Balfe was 80 per cent. higher
than that Of Markell, and the bid Of Hudgins
4 Dumas was 90 low that Mr.. Shonts
decided that they had misunderstood the
specifications and he wrote to them ex-
planning them thoroughly. Then Hud-
gins 4 Dumas amended their bid. The
bids OF Markell on every item but one were
a. low or lower than those Of Hudgins 4
Dumas.
Mr.. Shonts writes:
In making the award took into co nsid-
Grafton not only the prices. but the expert
ovol ho ntrot Ion
for the business that they now have. /
found that Messrs. Hudgins d Dumas have
had no experience in this business except
q three years contract on Ellis Island,

has had thirty years experience In this spe-
cial field OF operating railroad hotels and con-
strlction camps on the Union Pacific, Illinois
Central, Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.

that he now has large camps on two or
three Of these roads, that he has such large
force that he can withdraw from it suf-
hcient help to promptly equip the hotels

to keep supplying new men from his force

to recuperate, thus having a constant chain
Of fresh employees going to the Isthm,is.
I'm view of the fact that Mr.. Markell has
been doing for thirty years exactly the
kind OF work in the States that he will have
to do on the lsthmus 1t seemed to me that
even IL his prices had been somewhat higher
the railroad company could we'll afford
to pay something for his wide experience
in this line OF work as against two young
men Who have had but local experience
in the city Of New York; but think, how
ever. that Mr.. Markets rate will average
lower than that Of Hudgns d Dumas,
