In addition to the efficient assistance
rendered to inspectors by the secret ser
vice men who track suspects and aid in
the arrests, the department of justice has
issued instructions to the district attor-
neys, wherever raids or arrests s-e made,
to render every possible assistance to the
representatives of the other departments.
The cooperation of tine detectives Of
two departments and the lawyers of a
third will, in the estimation of the high
officials, render life unbearabIe for lot
terry agents in this country, and they are
confident the evil will be thoroughly Grad
icated within a short time as result of
tn drastic course now being pursued.
Within the past few days the postoffice
department has, moreover, issued fraud
orders against agents of the German state
lottery and the Hungarian lottery, both of
which appear to have been doing thriv-
ing business in the United States.

Another reform which Mr.. Cortelyou is
setting on foot concerns political activity
by postmasters and other employees of
the department. Although the law and
the civil service regulations strictly for
bid pernicious political activity on the
part of the federal employees, postmasters
in various sections have been in the habit
of writing to the postmaster general or
his assistants for special rulings in their
cases, hoping, of course, to secure more
lax construction of the law than has
been general.
Cortelyou now proposes to have prepared
and sent to all postal employees a circular
of instructions on this subject, clearly
defining the extent to which they are
entitled to engage in politics and partizan
undertakings. Offensive partizanship will
be comprehensively defined, and it will be
made clear that no postmaster or similar
employee can associate himself with any
committee or society the purpose of which
is the raising of campaign funds.
s'rhere will be nothing particularly new
in the circular" said the postmaster
general, .'but it will be plain enough TO
leave no ground for reasonable doubt in
the minds of those to whom it Is directed.
The very best service postmaster can
render his party is to be good post
master. Once circular is issued, il, will
constitute the only reply sent to those
who ask for furthur information, and
those who violate its iniunctions will do
so at their peril Their punishment will
take the form of discipline, even to the
extent of dismissal if the violation is of
gravity which merits it,"

Mobile, Ala.-The American Ba-

Cornell, of Mobile, and associate
members, have asked the state depart
ment to intervene in their behalf on
account of the Costa Rican govern
ment having interfered with their
planting and other operations in the
territory now belonging to Panama,
but at one time under the jurisdiction
of Costa Rica and have asked for
damage in the sum of $2,210,000. A
special from Washington states that
Mr.. Mcconnell has placed the case be-
fore the state department which is
now considerating what right the ad-
ministration has to intervene in the
affair. During the past two years
the United States has been on as
friendly terms with the Central and
South American countries as hereto
fore and in case Solicitor Penfeld de-
icdes that the government. should
stand by Mcconnell, some difficulty
in the settlement fay be encountered.

Consular Changes.

Washington. The President has
decided that Consul General Gewdy,
whe has been at Paris for eight years,
shall be recalled in March next, al
though several of the Republicans rep
resentatives from Indiana desired
to have M. Gewdy retained in the for
eign service. Today Messrs. Over
street, Lands, and Watson called to
renew their previous efforts for his
promotion to a diplomatic position.
The President announced that he
thought of appointing Frank FL. Ma
son, now consul general at Berlin, to
succeed Mr.. Gowdy. The Indiana
men want John L. Griffiths of Indian
apolis appointed to Berlin if Mr.. Ma
son should be transferred to Paris.
In the event of Consul General Ma
son of Berlin going to Paris, is is
expected the President will appoint
George w. Roosevelt, now consul at
Brussels, to succeed him at Berlin.
George w. Roosevelt, now consul at
tive of the President, has been in the
consular service for twenty-seven
years, and is regarded as one of the
most efficient members Of that service.

EXTER MINATION
OF MOSQUITO
FIRST GREAT, PANAMA SANTA.
RY WORK.
HUNDRED DOCTORS NEEDED
Thinks DR.. Pass, the Navy Expert, for
the First Sanitary Battle. Destruc.
ton of the Mosquito Indispensable
to the Building of Panama Canal

New Orleans. = The mosquito is the
key to the whose sanitary condition
in Panama and the only way to pre-.
vent mortality on the isthmus is to
break up its hiding places and de-
stroy the pest. This, in my judgment,
Is the only possible way to protect the
non-immune employees of the canal.
The government is now at work
breaking up the nesting places of the
mosquito in spots but there is great
undertaking yet before it and it is an
immense labor But the accomplish
ment Of the mosquitoes destruction is
absolutely indispensable to the build
ing of the Panama Canal. If the same
methods are applied in Panama that
worked such wonders in Havana and
Cuba although required on much
larger scale they will unquestionably
succeed. There should be at least 100
able and energetic physicians in Pana-
ma for this gigantic undertaking.
When summed up this is the opin-
ion of DR.. John w. Ross, Medical
Directors Of the United States Navy,
now having under his direction the
government hospitals in the Panama
zone from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The canal zone is ten miles wide, five
miles on each side of the canal and
there are two large hospitals one at
each end Of the route with num-
Der of smaller ones scattered along
the route.
DIR. Ross is here on sick leave. He
has been in the United States Navy
ever since 1870. Last April he was
assigned to service with the Isthmian
Canal Commission, and went to Pana-
ma, having been down there on and
off ever since. He has been suffering
with second attack of malarial fever,
and it may be that he will not return
to the work on the isthmus, owing to
his bad health.
DR.. Ross saw service in Cuba all
through the Spanish-American War,
being with General Wood in Havana,
and being an active party to the
cleansing process that was administer
ed to the old Cuban Capitol.

those who later purchased the stocks
and bonds of the company. 1t said
that the promoters issued to them
selves stock of the company with a
face value of $2,290,000 and bonds
for $4,000 and that they cleared full
ly $4,000 in cash from deals and
transfers early in the history of the
company.
