in the models. They may be operated
by turning a crank under the engine.
The wheels go around, the pistons
slide back and forth, the cab windows
may be moved, the bell rung, and the
engine and tender uncoupled. The.
convict had nothing to work by except
his own memory. He is locomative
fireman and so knows the engine well.
One Of the models is a replica OF
regular passenger engine, such as Is
used on the Consolidated, and the
other is of the Atlantic compound
type. 1t Is said that the convict took
four years to make the models. All
he had to work with was common

gress met today. c. w. Macar pres
ident of the Master Cotton Spinners'
association of Great Britain, presided.
Representatives Of France, Germany,
Belgium. Italy, Spain and Portugs!
were present. They discussed gener-
ally the necessity for continuing ana
strengthening the international or
ganization. Mr.. NIAGARA said the crisis
which brought about the present or
gnnization was past but 1t might oc-
cur again any time. He urged the
representatives to endeavor to bring
in all the continental spinners. Herr
Gross, representing Germany, said
all spirners had common interests in
the conditions and regulations govern

would never be completely effective
until 1t was supported by the Ameri-
can spinners. Other delegates urged
the extension of the movement to
America.
Says a Mobile, Ala, dispatch OF
April IL: There has been whole
sale desertion of blue-jackets from.
the United States warships at Pensa-
cola. 1t Is estimated that at least 6oo
sailors are missing from the vessels.
Sailors who have been seen on shore'
give varying excuses for leaving the
ships. Some of them have an idea
that the vessels will for the most part.
be made station ships at some out OF
the way place, and others say that the
treatment Is not as 1t should be. Still
others say that they only left because
they wanted to get ashore on Ameri-
can soil and stay there just as long as
they can. Yesterday city and county
officers were out hunting the deser-
ters in the city's outskirts. This
morning Chief Schad of the police de-
partment went out to the flagship
Maine and had a conference with
Admiral Evans, who placed at
the disposal of the Pensacola police
Just as many marines as possible. A
reward of $40 is paid for each deserter
returned.

sand men engaged under his direction

The health of the young Americans on
the Isthmus is particularly good.
There has been very little sickness
and comparatively few fatalities.
Those that have occurred generally
have been men who led improper lives,
or who had been affected with some
functional disorder Mr.. Wallace says
that every additional month he is
permitted to continue his investiga-
tion and experimental work, more re-.
liable will be the data available for
use in deciding on a plan for the
canal.
Dallas, Texas, April II: A special
from Frederick, Okla, to the News
SAYS: This has been an ideal day for
wolf hunting. Cool weather and
cloudy sky enabled the horses and
dogs to keep up a fast gait. The
longest chase of the entire hunt was
twelve miles over hills and through
brush and creeks, but 1t ended at last
with the capture of the wolf. Four OF
the party were in sight at the close,
the president being one of the quar-
tette. AS diversion, coon hunt was
indulged in last night. and after some
difficulty the coon was captured. The
animal now represents the only spe-
cies of the kind in the presidents pri-
vate menagerie. Yesterday while in
camp a number of foot races were
held, the president entering with
zest into the sport. The president is
we'll pleased with the manner in which
he has been allowed to hunt in pri-
vate. So far not a single individual
who has not had business in the camp
has entered the grounds. 1t is expect
ed that the president will keep the
regular schedule and leave tomorrow
afternoon with the party.
