the Death valley miner, arrived here
Grand Central station by two press
agents, who said later on that he was
met at the Grand Central station by
thousand enthusiastic men, women and
children, who were curious to see this
Croesus from the gold mines. ''Croesus'
was the word that the press agents
tossed gayly back and forth among
themselves.
Before leaving the Grand Central sta
ton Scott posed before the cameras
and then proceeded to a hotel where he
was well known, having stopped there
seven or eight times in the last two
years, This afternoon Scott went down
to Wall street. He gave a messenger
boy IS for getting tickets to the gallery
of the New York Stock exchange, and
he threw a small handful of real coins
to some boys on Broad street.
Scott has the merry "1a, hal" handy
at all times, and it takes the place of
replies to many questions. In addition
he has a way of impressing upon one

there was New Yorker interested in

where in Fifth avenue and he thought
that he was connected with the Knick-
erbocker company. His name, he said,
he believed was James H. Girard, but
Officers Of the Knickerbocker Trust

New Secretary Will Change Personnel
of Diplomatic Service, and VIII
Adopt Entirely New
Methods

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The state
department is to be reorganized under
Elihu Root, the new secretary. What
Mr.. Root did for the army the president
hopes he will do for the state depart
ment. Not only will the personnel of
the department be radically changed,
but 1t is expected that entirely new
methods will be put into effect. Mr..
Root has been told by the president
there are wonderful possibilities Of
fered him in the state department work.
He will seek authority of congress re-
garding those changes which he is not
authorized to make himself
Mr.. Root will direct himself to the
improvement of the diplomatic service
by the promotion and encouragement
of men now in the service who have
shown aptitude for it, and who give
signs OF making themselves valuable
in future to the country. His principal
work before congress will be to have
the Lodge bill passed or something very
like 1t. The bill in question places the
consular service of the country on a
merit or civil service basis. The presi-
dent believes, and Mr.. Root believes,
that the consular service should be
taken entirely out of politics. They
believe it will serve the best interests
of the commercial world If this is
done. To secure the best possible talent
for the consular service 1t is necessary
to have system which permits OF
rewarding merit and advancing capa-
BILE men. The Lodge bill will be in
dorsed by the president in his message
to congress This will pave the way
for the efforts of the new secretary Of
state.
Mr.. Root will look after the per-
sonnel OF the diplomatic and consular
service himself, The first step in this
direction is to be the retirement OF
Francis B. Loomis. present assistant
secretary OF state. He will be succeed

to the station house by a mob of Con-
nelly's friends. hurting showers of
stones and other missiles. When the
station house reserves turned out the
whole nelghborhood was in an uproar
and whites and blacks engaged in a
desperate struggle. Torrents Of mis-
siles were hurled from roofs and win
dows. Within ten minutes not less than
a thousand men, boys and women,
black and white, were engaged in a
furious combat. The small party Of
police were powerless and reinforce
ments were summoned. On their arriv-

whole district and strong patrols made
repeated charges down the streets in n
vain effort to restore order. They sue
ceeded in making a few prisoners but
were forced to retreat fighting every
inch of the way and pursued to the
station house by a bowling mob.
The worst of the fighting was in
Sixty-second street, where from every
window and roof raired missiles, while
hundreds of shots were fired. Rounds
man Patrick Walsh was knocked down
by Jesse Smith, negro. who leaped on
him, and after attempting to shoot him,
struck him repeatedly with the butt
of his revolver. Walsh was finally res

before o'clock. and realizing how
widespread was the danger, sent hurry
calls for reserves from as far north as
126th street and as far as Leonard

portant details concerning the forth

potentiaries representing Russia and

struction of the Panama canal were
under consideration today by President
Roosevelt. He and Mrs. Roosevelt had
as guests at luncheon at their Saga

John r. Stevens, chief engineer of the
1sthmian canal commission, and Thomas
Hynes, auditor of Porto Rico.
Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer
Stevens remaint1 with the president
some time after Minister Takahira.
This was the first opportunity the pres
ident had to discuss canal matters with
Mr.. Stevens and they went over the
subject pretty thoroughly. AS both Mr..
Shonts and Mr.. Stevens expect to sail
for Panama on the goth inst. the presi-
dent desired to consult with them be-
fore their departure.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Stevens Will
be made a member Of the executive
committee of the Isthmian canal, a
position occupied by his predecessor,
Mr.. Wallace. 1t can be said, however,
that Mr.. Stevens has been given prac-
tically a free hand to do construction
work. He has his own ideas about the
methods to be pursued and will not be
interfered with in the work of his dis
trict. His desire is to dig the canal AMI
to that great undertaking he will devote

executive and administrative details
to be worked out by Chairman Shontg,

Conditions ON the Isthmus

"Our talk with the president today"
said he, twas of a general character
about the canal matters. The president
desired to see Mr.. Stevens before we
left for the isthmus and to discuss
with both of us the progress of the
work. SJust now we have about 10000
men at work on the canal. This is
about as many as we could employ un-
der the existing conditions. We have
our executive staff thoroughly organ
lied now, but the organization has not
been completed on the isthmus. That
is a part of the work Mr.. Stevens will
have to do. His engineering staff must
be organized and it's work mapped out.
We must make arrangements for the
housing, feeding and general care of
our employees, in itself a great task,
and we must complete the sanitary ar
rangements in the American zone. All
this will require time and energy and
hard work, but it will be accomplished
successfully. I have about concluded
arrangements with man who is to go
to the isthmus to arrange for the re-
creation of the canal employees. We
will have reading rooms, amusement
halls and all that sort of thing, by
means of which the men will pass their
idle hours pleasantly and proftably.
mo" continued Mr.. Shonts, in re-
sponse to an inquiry, "the sanitary
conditions on the isthmus are not 90
bad as they have been reported. A
lot of people have become frightened
by the yellow fever, but it is not so
bad as might be expected. In fact,
the reports from the isthmus regarding
health conditions have been grossly
exaggerated.
my belief is that the actual digging
of the canal will have to be done by
lahorers Injured to the tropical climate.
That labor we shall be able to get with
out any serious trouble"
Asked whether it was his idea to use
Chinese labor in the canal to any ex-
tent. he replied that some Chinese from
the rice fields of southern China proba-
bly, would meet the labor requirements
on the isthmus, but he doubted whether
the northern Chinese could live and
work in the tropical climate of Panama.
Reverting to the Panama railroad. he
said:
1--WE have been devoting a good deal
Of time recently to the Panama rail-
road. 1t is now in excellent condition.
While it is only forty-seven miles long
the road, including the necessary sid
'ngs and spurs, has nearly 500 miles Of
track.
1.-The traffic over 1t is very heavy.
Such business is purely commercial and
that business is large and is handled
just as It would be by any, other rail-
road, and such business as the road
does is charged against the canal COM
mission as part of the canal construc-
ton expenses"
