ChInaman to Dig Panama Canal.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Che
Foo Sam, or Sam for short, today told
News representative that if the bid
which he would within the next few
days submit to the Panama Canal Com
mission for supplying the Commis-
sion with the necessary help to
build the canal was acce ed he would
at once get together 1900 Chinese,
2,OOO Japanese and 1000 Italisns and
make arrangements without delay for
their transportation to the canal
zone.
Che Foo ssm, or Sam, as he is g en-
eralIy called, is millionaire banker of
Shanghai, and is temporarily living in
Baltimore. His life work hae been in
just such matters 90 the Commission
IS now undertaking, that is, the en-
ploylng OF alien help on large scale.
Sam has had years of experience along
this line, and while most of his time
has naturally been spep. among che
Chinese, with whom he is popular, he
has, nevertheless, had considerable ex-
perience also in the handling of people
from other nations.
The canal authorities having found
that American labor was unsuitable
for work in the zone, gave it out a
short time ago that they would soon
ask for bids for the supplying of many
thousands Of laborers there other than
Americans. On account of the eli.
mate American labor has proved a de-
cided failure, and it is the purpose Of
the Commission hereafter to get as
much Chinese labor az possible for
many reasons. The Chinese, it is
said, are immune from yellow fever,
which is not the case with any other
nation, and this in itself counts for o
great deal.
Che Foo Sam is not making any
great effort to get the contract for
supplying any others but Chinese,
though if there should be an oppor-
tunity to make money out of the deal,
he will contract also to supply any.
Kind wanted. Having been raised
among the Chinese, he is, of course,
thoroughly familiar with them in every
particular. =
Mr.. Sans agent was asked if there
would be any objection to taking so
many Chinese out Of China, and he
said that on account Of the fact that
OF recent years 80 many had gene to
the diamond fields Of Italy and other
places, and had been SO malioionsly
trsated there that there would, natur-
ally, be some little resentment and OBJ
lection to the deportation, but that he
thought there would in the end be no
great obstacle to securing as many
lsborers as decided.
Those who are secured by Sam will
be paid about sixty-fve cents day,
and while they will be furnished ra-
tions from the Government commits.

shocks. ltaame, swift and unfipching,
against the rigid wall of steel points.
The men never faltered, but their
horses swerved, aud the whole column
was compelled to wheel to the right
about.
The British uttered loud huzzes, as
they saw the effect Of their sharp steel
wall, but before the echoes of their
cheers had died away, their notes
changed in tone. Macon, with his
squadron of brave Virginians, came
rushing down upon them, and the
charge was 80 fierce and impetuous,
that the British troops staggered
back in dismay, aud found quite
enough to do in saving themselves,
rather than in pursuing Lincoln and
his little army. Thus tho retreat of
the latter was secured without further
loss.
The attack had been brief in action,
but sapguinary in results. In that
short time, over four hundred men
had fallen. The loss was nearly equal
on either side in killed and wounded.
The Americans had made as brave and
determined fight as the whole war
had seen, and had the order of Gen.
cral Lincoln been obeyed, as to the
bayonct charge at the first attack,
there is no doubt that Stono Ferry
would have fallen into the hands Of
the Americans, with all its defenders
and stores. The roar of the artillery

Provost. But while the gallant Lin.
coin was repulsed, he effected his re-
treat in good order.
Among those who fell in this battle
of Stono Ferry, was the elder brother
of Andrew Jackson, of which men
tion was made in our article relating
Jackson's first duel. It was the re.
sentiment and desire for revenge, that
awoke at the receipt of this sad news,

Boy as he was, he then threw himself

he called the British troops. Andrew

General Lincoln kept maneuvering
his small army near Charleston, fear
ing another attempt upon it by Pre-
vost, until news reached him of the
s.rivs! os the French feet under Ad-
miral Count D'Estaing, on the coast
OF Georgia. Lincoln then determined
to break camp, and march to Savan-
nah, to assist in the landing of the
French troops, who, with the feet.
were destined for an attack on Savan-
nah. What happened when Lincoln
and DEstaing got together, must be
reserved for another time.

The Real Franklin.

There were not wanting sinister In.
iuences, subtly and persistently inhib-
iting the development Of that large, ex-
plicit and national recognition Of
Franklin's services which very little
thing might have called into full being
and activity even during his lifetime.
Had that consummation been realized
even for day, though 1t had been but
the day after his death, the character
Of his fame would have been fixed DIFF.
ferently, one cannot doubt for the rest
OF time. For there would then have
come fully and simultaneously into the
national consciousness conception Of
Franklin which-instead Of the legend
Of the Philadelphia printer, almanack
maker and humorist or instead of the
legend Of the moral philosopher who
taught men how to thrive In business
and inculcated the practice Of honesty
as one Of the best tricks Of every trade
should have given US the legend Of
that historical Franklin, the most fa-
nous patriot, the wisest statesman, the
most successful diplomatist Of his age,
a man with whose name all Europe
whatever America may have been do

CARR In Line TO

Commanding General Department
Of Dakota May Be Promoted
.... Next Sunday.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 4.-There is pos
sibility. that Brigadier General Camille
G. G.. Carr. commanding general of
the department. Of Dakota, will be pro-
NOTED to rank of major general upon
the retirement Of Major General George
M. Randall next Sunday. It is well
understood here that the president in
tends to promote General John F. Wes-
ton, commissary general, tc major
generalship, and it is believed he is to
be what may be called the permanent
successor Of General Randall in that
rank, but the friends Of other brigadier
generals are pushing their claims
Besides General, Carr, there are two
other bfigadier generals who will re
tire for age before General Weston,
Is, 1909. General Carr will retire
March 8, 1906; General Frank D. Bald
win on June 90, 1906, and General
Jessie NJ. Lee on Jan. 2, 1907. All
three are, civil war veterans, however,
and under the retirement law may be
advanced IN grade and retired at any
time, but even if they should insist
upon remaining on the active list until
their time Of compulsory retirement,
all will get out Of the way in time to
permit General Weston to serve more
than two years as major general. =
It is possible that an agreement may
be reached by which all three Of the
senior brigadiers may be promoted and
retired on successive days, after Gen
eral Randall retires, so that General
Weston may receive the permanent
commission.

Princeton, Ind, Oct. 4.-Rev. w. 81.
Brooks, a minister of northern Indiana,
was arrested here yesterday, charged
with aplacing an obstruction on the
tracks of the Evansville & Terre Haute
railway and then: telling wild story
in the hope of gaining reward.
Early yesterday Rev. Mr.. Brooks
came breathlessly into the railroad sta;
tion and told Of having been captured
by train wreckers during the night and
Of being forced to assist them in placing
the obstruction on the track.
After telling his story he fell in a
faint. He said that he was walking
along the track, and was captured by
two bandits, but when they had
searched him and found nothing of
value, they ordered him to help them
place rails and crossties on the track.
While working with them, he heard
them discussing the coming of the train
and the plans by which they purposed
to rob the passengers when the train
was derailed.
He accompanied officers to the scene
of the obstruction. and when they piled
him with questions regarding the
alleged bandits, he became. confused
and, it is alleged, SO contradicted him
self and got SO mixed up in his state
ments that he nearly collapsed. He is
now in jail, but maintains that his

Townsend Of Michigan, one of the au-
thors of the Townsend railroad
rate bill, today had conference with
the president on the subject of rates.
Upon coming from the White House,
Mr. Townsend said that he found the
president had not changed his views
on the subject of rate legislation, but,
if possible, was more insistent than
ever upon the enactment citrate legisla-
ton. This statement was brought out
by the publication in an eastern paper
this morning that the president had
modified his views on rate legislation
and would not press the matter at the
coming session.
Discussing the Esch-Townsend bill,
Mr.. Townsend said that it would be
re-introduced at the beginning of the
session, but that it would be modified
to meet the objections of some mem
bers of the house and would include
charges and midnight rates.

VEERING TOWARD
A MONARCHY NOW
Efforts Making in Norway to Pre-
vent Any Referendum to
the People.

Christiania, Norway, Oct. AIT
tempts to create agitation in favor of
Norwegian republic are finding no
support from the country. The leaders
of the movement appealed for address
es for presentation to the storthing in
favor of republican form of govern
ment, but SO far the appeal has met
with no response.
The commercial and industrial inter-!
ests appear to desire no disturbance Of
the existing order of things. At an
important meeting held here Of repre-
sentatives of commercial and shipping
interests, it was unanimously resolved
to present an address to the storthing
declaring that the submission of the
to the plebiscite would greatly injure
the country's economic interests.
The country, the resolution said,
wanted to return to fixed and assured
situation, which would only be possible
by limiting the national efforts to the
program adopted by the storthing June
7, the day the decision was reached to
separate from Sweden, which favored
the maintenance of the monarchical con-
stitution. The storthing was asked to
insure tranquility by the speedy cleo
ton of king.
The address was presented to the
o1oi CuAAS Ny o. oPSSAoA SoA1AAAAA1tOo Ae'oo

The foregoing Associated Press cable
is significant of the determination of the
