What Panama Canal Will Cost.

New York. June 29.-J. F. Wallace,
chief constructing engineer of the
Panama canal commission, accompan-
led by Mrs. Wallace, arrived on the
steamer Orizaba of the Panama line.
he is here to talk over the situation
in the canal zone with Secretary Taft
and the president.
Despite the fact that they were
down with yellow fever in February,
both Mr. Wallace and his wife appear
ed in the best of health.
Mr.. Wallace plainly intimated that
he is not favorable to the Walker
plan, which calls for a canal ninety
feet above the sea level, and is be-
ing carried out now. If, however, con-
gress at the session in January de-
cides to appropriate the $230,OOO, 900
necessary to construct the sea level
canal, the present plan, which is to
cost $14O,000,000, will be abandoned.
Mr.. Wallace says it will take - years
and S230,000,000 to build the water
way properly: that the Walker plan
will not stand for more than a decade
while the sea level scheme will remain
forever and be greatly more conyen-
lent and more easily navlgated by
vessels.
An advisory committee of engineers
is preparing report on the present
plan. and this will be presented to the
lsthmlan commission, to be reported
to congress.

deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an

It's tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
Kitchener Says War Between Them
IL Inevitable.

London, July 3.-General Lord
Kitchener cOmmander-in-chief of the
British forces in India, seems to re-
gard as inevitable a great struggle
with Russia for the possession of In
dia, and to believe that the existing
arms for defense of the Indian empire
are altogether obsolete and ineffective.
These views form the striking and
central points of interest in a blue
book just issued, dealing with the re-
cent conflict of opinion between Vice
roy Curzon, the Indian conucil, and
Lord Kitchener. which the government
has just settled by a compromise, CIV
ing the later extended powers in the
direction he desired
Lord Kitchener in an important min
ute addressed to the home govern.
ment, speaks in the plainest terms, de-
nouncing the faulty system prevailing
in India, in which he points out has
not changed since the time of the
mutiny, and which was framed to
meet peace requirements instead of
the possibility of a great war.
He describes the situation as one
entailing endless discussion and de-
lay as well as great expenditure with
poor results. In pregnant para
graph, Lord Kitchener says:
Slowly but surely the deserts of
Central Asia, once believed to be an
impenetrable barrier, have been cross
ed by great European power. They
are now spanned by railways which
have only one possible significance
and we have every indication that our
northern neighbor is pushing forward
her preparations for a contest in which
we shall have to fight for our exist
ence."
In conclusion, Lord kitchener in
stances Japan as having shown what
is possible by thoroughly modern
methods in army administration, while
the disastrous consequences to Rus
STA give the other side of the picture.
He urges that there is danger in hes
itating to break the chains of custom
and tolerance of admitted defects.
The viceroy and the council strong
ly criticised Lord Kitchener's views,
but in the end the home government,
decided in favor of Lord Kitcheners
reorganization plans in all essentials

Dun's Wool Review,

Dun's current review of the wool
market is as follows:
Although domestic quotations have
ceased to advance, it is not possible
to discern any evidences of weakness,
and manufacturers are sampling in
the eastern markets in a manner that
promises to materialiZe in something
tangible shortly unless d speculative
initiation of prices should carry the
level beyond reason. There is logical
reason for firmness in the statistical
position, but as usual it would not
be surprising if excuses developed to
the detriment of legitimate business.
Boston-Wool is strong and fairly
active. Consumers have been buying
territory. In foreign wool they have
operated freely in three-eighths South
American and Australian. Some 1000
bales fine Australian We're recently
bought on the market by dealer.
Foreign purchases to date for re-ship-
ment include 500 bales Australian and
$50 bales Cape, and there are larger
quantities under negotiation. Wet
weather has delayed shearing and the
movement from the west is interrupt.
ed. Receipts 7,094,640 pounds and de-
liveries 4,295,96S pounds.
elphia-Beyond sampling by
manufacturers but few sales are re-
ported, the trade feeling that conserv-
ative buying is the best policy at the
present high level of values. Holders
are not urging sales, except at full
prices, as they know that the major.
ity of manufacturers are CARRYING
small stocks. Country advices con-
tinue very firm, although some re-
ports indicate less activity in demand.
Reported transactions include Ohio
