PLENTY TO DO.
Mr.. Shonts Says There's No End OF
Work on lsthmus Of Panama.

New York. Aug 14.-Chairman Shonts
| of the Panama canal commission ar
| rived on the steamer Mexico. today, from
| Colon. He was accompanied by Col. Us
valid H. Ernst, also OF the commission.
Chairman Shonts said:
we went to Colon with Mr.. Stevens,
the chief engineer. to see what should
be done. We found the first thing of i'm
portance to be the housing and supply
ing of eO.O6o men. When our government
first took hold Of the canal every effort
was directed toward making the dirt fly.
! hhink this was n mistake. Time should
have been given toward preparing for
the task by making arrangements to
care for the employees 1t is true also
that the laborers were not promptly paid
and that ma alters were becoming con-
gested on the railways and steamers.
with the large addition to the popu-
lation caused by the influx of the canal
laborers the supplies for living were ex-
hausted. This caused prices to rise and
soon the laboring class were not earn
ing enough to support themselves. To
offset this sub-commissary stations were
established to feed the laborers. | made
an arrangement with the President of
Panama that until prices became normal
on the isthmus to continue this system
of supplying the laborers. In order to
keep up the supply system, a train runs
out of Colon every morning taking sup
plies to every laborers' camp.
"Of course | found the freight conges-
ton causing considerable trouble, but
soon found that by applying the pracui-
l.A
United State that in 90 days the trouble
would be eliminated. The question of
double-tracking the railroad is much
misunderstood in this country. The fact
IS it is ample TO more than handle the
commercial business now. provided the
proper methods are enforced. This rail-
road is ina aged by man who has been
IS years in charge and understands the
road thoroughly, but his experience is
all on this road and therefore not up to
our modern railroad methods. Mr. Ste
vens. besides being an engineer, is an
experienced railroad man.
LAS to ubletra cking the road, that
cannot be done at present, even if neces-
sary. but as the work OF getting ont the
dirt progresses we can easily keep up
with the work with extra trackage We
have supplied refrigerating cars for the
road
There are about 10000 employees on the
isthmus now. This number includes the
laborers. l have other Things to say
later on after the report to the Iresi-
dent"
Mr. Shonts said there was in reality
