ON PANAMA CANAL.
CHAIRMAN SHoNTS SPEAKS OF
HIS RECENT VISIT.
PROGRESS THAT is BEING MADE
New Docks Constructed and Houses
Put in Shape for sheItering Work
men-Health Conditions Of Men
Employed is Said to Be Good.

WASHINGTON - Chairman Shonts
of the isthmian canal commission
made the following statement Of his
observations on the isthmus of Pana-
ma during his recent visit:
THE most encouraging feature of af-
fairs on the isthmus observed by every
person who had been there previously
during the last six and eight months
was the improvement in the feeling
among the men. Chief Engineer Ste
vens' methods and personality are
making a strong impression and Gre
ating confidence in his measures.
Il found that substantial progress
had been made in the repairing and
construction of houses, over 200 of
the old French houses having been
repaired during the last two months.
A large dock at Cristobal, which has
twenty-seven feet of water, will be
ready for ships in a very few weeks.
Rapid progress is being made on dock
II also at Cristobal. The new dock
at La Boca is also being rapidly push
ed to completion. These docks will
be equipped with modern machinery,
which will largely facilitate the load
ing and unloading of ships. When
these docks are all completed and in
operation we shall be able to handle
all the commission material and
large part of the Panama freight from
these docks, leaving the old docks
largely for the use of ships of other
lines. We are also putting in shops
and terminal yards at Cristobal, and
have planned yards for La Boca and
the end of the line. The bridges of
the Panama railroad have been
strengthened so as to carry the heav-
Ter locomotives now arriving on the
isthmus.
General health conditions are illus
trated by the fact that, notwithstand-
ing we have increased the laboring
force to nearly 1000 men during the
last four months, the number of pa
tlents in Ancon hospital was lower
than for many previous months
In addition to the fumigation of
the houses at Panama and Colon, the
isolation of the patients and the cut.
ting of grass and vegetation around
the camps, heretofore employed as
means of prevention, the department
is now thoroughly cleaning the cities
of Panama and Colon, draining
swamps near towns and camps, filling
in the lowest places and thus eradi-
eating breeding places for mosquitoes.
"As a result of our new methods in
handling the labor on the isthmus, l
will say that during a certain period;
when we were increasing the force by
the importation of $500 men, the pay
rolls showed an increase of 1000 men,
the difference resulting from our
methods of requiring men to leave
their quarters and go ID work Loaf
ing either in quarters or on works il
absolutely prohibited"

Hoch Case in Supreme Court.

SPRINGFIELD, O.-The state filed
its brief Friday in the Johann .Hoch
murder case and it viii be submitted to
the supreme court by oral arguments
and briefs next Monday, the 10th. No
decision will be rendered by the court
before the December term. The state
sets up twenty-four points, the most
important of which is that it is not
necessary to prove corpus deficit by
direct or positive evidence and that it
would be most unreasonable to require
such evidence.

partment of justice to the matter
The samples have been submitted
to the state dairy and food commits
sioner of PENNSYLVANIA, whose find
ings, which caused widespread con-
troversy are corroborated by DR. Wi
ley. DR.. Wiley declined to discuss his
report pending its submission to the
secretary. He said that coal tar dyes,
though unwholesome, are not particu-
larry harmful
"Dairymen," he said ARE permit
ted under the law TO use such color
ing matter to make their butter a
rich yellow color TO remedy this
ing to educate the public taste. for
uncolored butter and we are making
some Roadway. Dairymen are begin
ming to realize that the bottle of coal
tar dye is no longer a necessary ad-
junCt to a successful dairy. The
amount of oleomargarine sold in this
country, whether fraudulently as but
ter, or marked as oleomargarine, is
after all very small. The govern

Barry Favors Canteen.
Reports by General ]. F. Wade and
Thomas II. Barry. each of whom for
a part of the year commanded the
Department of the Gulf, have been
made to the war department Gen
eral Wade's report treats of "details,
while General Barry discusses vari-
GUS features of army life. He speaks
of the efficiency of the seacoast bat
teries, saying that in many instances
100 per cent has been made in prac-
tice by eight and ten-inch batteries
at targets moving from five to ten
miles an hour, at ranges between
5000 and 1000 yards. General Barry
believes that it would be less difficult
to rely on efficient men in the artil-
lery service if there could be more
frequent changes in stations. General
Barry, like other commanding officers,
says the present anti-canteen law is
not to the advantage of the troops
General Barry also recommends the
establishment Of the adjutant gen
erals department.

THE PORTSMOUTH NAVY YARD.
Effort to Secure Additional Work
Extent of Improvements.


PORTSMOUTH, Va, August IL 1905
The effort that is being made to secure
additional work for the navy yard In this
city will be principally directed toward the
passage at the next session of Congress of
a bill to authorize the construction of a
set Of launching ways at the navy yard
here and the installation of an overhead
crane for handling material.
The naval officers here declare that all
efforts to secure construction work for the
station will inevitably be fruitless until the
additions to the present splendid equipment
of the yard made.
The extension and Improvement of the
naval station in this city during the past
year has kept pace with the development
of the navy. and the plans for the future
are such as will insure a steady growth OF
the navy yard and the facilities for train
ing the men. as we'll as repairing and con-
structing the ships.
During the past fiscal year, exclusive of
the payments that have been made on the
Slone0 dry dock now in course of con-
struction, the government has spent on bet
terments to this navy yard nearly half a
million dollars. -.
This does not include the lump payment
of 100000 made for. the purchase of the
Schmoele tract at the beginning Of the fis-
cal year. The sum mentioned above is for
improvements to the yard and the facilities
here for handling the ships and transport
ing material. protecting the property of the
government from fire, improvements to the
naval magazine and the provision of
wharyes and storehouses
