wbat AiIn the Panamn CnunIg

The truth of this Panama business is that every one connected with the Canal Commission and isthmian estab- lishment has been in a false position since the United States took formal possession of the property. Up to that time the country believed actual work would begin as soon as the formaiities were concluded. There was a preva- lent impression to the effect that the commissioners were all ready with their plan of operations-for surely they had had time enough for prepara- tion-and that dirt would fly by tons and shiploads the moment they were free to tackle it. As a matter of fact, at the leash at all. So far from that, they had not agreed on anything of importance, excepting, perhaps, the ad- vantages of Washington as a place of residence, with occasional voyages to Colon in palatiaI government vessels. Nor can it be truly said that these con- ditions have materially changed since the new commission was created about a year ago. The commissioners have not yet decided whether it is to be a lock or a sea-IeveI canal, nor have they gone beyond a general conclusion that the Chagres River must be disposed of in some fashion, or definite arrange ments made to that end. before the way to real achievement is disclosed. Mean while, whatever may be said or thought of the Hon. John Barrett. every candid and conscientious observer of the Panama Canal bungle must admit that he is not responsible in the least for the paralysis that seems to have taken hold of that once buoyant and boastful enterprise.

MILITARY MATTERS;
 GUARD OF ALABAMA
BY D. W. a1eIvnR.

regulaf army by the Dick law should be more rigidly followed and observed by the different organisations in the National Guard. If this rule is not followed 1t will be hard on some fei- low to be denied a commission for not coming up to requirements as to age.
 It is not known whether or not Ala bama is to be represented in any way at the inauguration exercises of Presi- dent Roosevelt on the 4th of March. Great preparations are being made for gorgeous and brilliant military parade, and as was stated in this column last Sunday, the Governor has rendered the two places for this State as Aides on General Chaffees stan, who is the marshal of the day. one to Gen. eraI L. V. Clark and the other to the three brigadiers on his staff to be arranged among them. Generals Brandon and Holt have rendered the place to General Ligon and he has the matter under consideration. General Clark has not yet been heard from, but it Is understood. he too Is considering the matter. trying to arrange his busi- ness so as to go. hence the delay in replying to the letter of the Governor.
 Inspection will begin soon both by United States and State officers and the company commanders must be busy getting things in shape. It Is highly important to have property in good order and where 1t can seen con venientiy: the most important of all, however. is the attendance and all the commanders. regimental. battalion and squadron. company. battery and troop. are urged to see that every man is in line properly equipped on the night of the inspection. There must be no ex- cuse. but sickness and the certificate of a physician must be produced on that occasion. A full attendance is the gauge of efficiency more than anything else this year and the Commander in Chief and Adjutant General will be very much disappointed if it is not | much higher than 1t was last year
 Let's have it near the top mark. this | year.

 The boys who were in Camp Jelks at Owenton. near Birmingham last suns- mer will be getting their money in few days.
 The delay has been annoying to all in camp, but Captain J. s. Callaghan, of Mobile, the disbursing officer, did not make out but one pay roll in camp and it has been almost impossible to have the other three signed, as the law required the rolls made in quadruple and in some instances in each company pay had to be surrendered because the man could not be found, they having scattered to the four winds.
 The amount of pay ranges all the way from $l5 per day for the Brigadier Generals to s3 cents per day for the private, and for eight days. the time in camp. the amount will be help to them all.
 This is the first time men have ever been paid for instruction service in Alabama by the government and it is very pleasant experience to the men who get very little for the sacrifice they make in serving the militia.
 It Is to be hoped now that the money is forthcoming, that the bills made in camp will be all paid and each organi- zation put in good shape for camp again next summer. It is a source or BratiucAtiOu 10 kHoW tnat some or the organizations came out of camp with little. or in fact, no debt. The others will, doubtless, arrange their debts now and very soon all will be straight again.
 The following inquiry has been re- ceived from a member of the National Guard: twill you please tell me what time the commissions of Brigadier Gen eral Clark and Colonel Higdon expire, and how their places are to be filled?' The commission of General Clark will expire on the 21st day Of April 1905. and the Governor will fill the vacancy | by appointment. Colonel Higdon's commission will expire on the 20th day of March, 1905, and the vacancy will be filled by election on the vote of the line officers of the Srd regiment
