Chief Engineer Wallace Of the 18TH
milan canal commission had an inter
view with Secretary Taft at Washing
ton Monday In which conditions on
the canal were discussed. Afterwards
Mr.. wallace met with members OF
the commission who are in the city.
Members OF the commission are anx-
iously awaiting the decision Of At
torney General Moody on different
subjects.
It is the belief that the eight-hour
law does not apply to the canal zone.
Chief Engineer Wallace says that It
would very seriously impede work to
have the eight-hour law In effect in
the construction Of the canal. 1t
would be impossible to make uniform
hours for all the labor, because some
labor must be employed twelve hours,
while ten hours is the regular rule
for most of the workingmen.
The train crews that haul the men
to and from the work must work an
extra hour, morning and night, after
the other men have concluded their
labor. II it is decided that eight
hours constitute the days work these
men would necessarily work ten hours
in order to perform their duty and ac-
complish results.

A Disastrous Collision in Which No Loss OF

A dispatch from Kingsley, Ark,
says: Twenty or more passengers
were injured, but none killed, by a
collision Of the Chicago Express and
California Limited train on the Atch'
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad,
at 10 o'clock Monday night. Both
trains were east bound. No. 8, the
Chicago Express, was standing at the
station when No. 4, the limited, crash
ed into it at high speed.
The engine Of the second train
plowed into the last Pullman sleeper
of the other train, demolishing it.
The cars in front also were badly
and part of that train wrecked. The
names of the injured cannot be learn
ed as yet. The railroad officials put
them all in a car and took them to
the west end of the yard. The rear
car of No. was a dead-head car.
This was cut through from end to
end by the heavy engine, and the
Pullman ahead OF this was thrown of
the track. Both Immediately took
fire and, with the chair and mail cars,
were entirely consumed.
The engineer of No. 4 is uninjured,
but the fireman is seriously hurt, as
is also a porter on No. s, and cook
on the limited. The collision was
caused. II is said by the rear brake

The Russian consul at Singa pore

The feet did not stop TO receive
dispatches or to conslIt with the con.
sui. Subsequently the consul visited
Vice Admiral RoJestvensky's ship,
talking to him from a launch. He
did not board the vessel, but was
cheered heartily on leaving the side
Of the ship. The consul gave to the
fleet the FIRST news OF the fall OF
Mukden.
The vessels are burning soft coal,
and their smoke is visible for miles.
The gangways were not lowered, and
nobody was permitted on board the
vessels. No news was vOuchsafed.
The only launches allowed to ap-
proach the feet were those Of the
Russian consul and OF the Associated

and were greatly excited.
sIaVs Think That Togo Is Trapped.
There is reason TO believe that Vice
Admiral Ro3estvensky's entrance into
the China sea has been followed oy
orders for the cruisers Gromoboi, Ros-
STA and Rogatyr, which have been
ready for some time At vladIvostock,
to put to sea. Whether It is the
intention to send them south lmme-
diately, or to hold them in the We
cinity OF Vladlvostock, is not known.
Their appearance outside the road
stead of Vladivostock would consti'
tute a potential threat against Ad'
miral Togo's rear, which will compel
the retention or dispatch OF a number
of heavy fighting snlps to japanese

Thus Admiral Togo seems TO be

SEA FIGHTERS
ARE COMPARED
Relative Strength of Russian and
japanese Ships and Armament.
WORLD AWAITS A TEST
While Gar has Advantage IN Num-
berS His Fleet Shows Vulnerable
Deficit In Armored Cruisers.

In view Of the impending battle be-
tween the Russian and Japanese fleets,
the following comparison as to
strength will be found interesting:
--Battleships, seven; armored
cruisers and armored coast defense
vessels, two; protected cruisers, elev-
en-; transports and converted lisers
(estimated), twenty.
, an-Battleships, four or ave;
armored cruisers and armored coast
defense vessels, ten; protected erals
ers, twelve; transports and convert
ed liners (estimated), ten.
Total-Russis, so; Japan, SO or 81.
The exact strength OF the two fleets
in guns cannot be told exactly, be-
cause the armament Of the Russian
volunteer feet and of the twenty odd
transports is not known in detail.
But in a general way tAe following
estimate will show the relative
strength of the squadrons:
Russia-12inch guns, "a; 10-inch
guns, four; s-inch guns, eight; 6-inch
guns, $50 to 200; smaller guns (esti-
mated at 30 for battleships and is for
all other vessels), 675; total Oil.
Japan-12-inch guns, % TO &c; 10
inch guns, five; s-inch guns, "a; g.
inch guns, 1870; smaller guns (esti-
mated at 80 for battleships and Is for
all other vessels), $50; total SS5.
b Total guns, both fleets, 1896.
In this table it will be seen that
the Russians have the advantage in
numbers, but are so deficient in ar
mored cruisers that they stand a very
pQQrnshow against the Japanese fleet.
The ten swift, well-armed and we'll
manned armored cruisers which Togo
has constitute, possibly, a more for
midable fighting unit than his four or
five more heavily armed and armored
battleships. During the Spanish
American war the S-inch rifles with
which these cruisers are armed were
even more effective than the IL or 49,
inch guns. The latter, of course, do
more damage, but they are slower,
harder to aim and register a much
smaller number of hits than the
former.
However, the 6-inch rife is also a
wonderfully effective arm and the
Russian auxiliary cruisers, converted
liners and transports are probably
crowded with them. An exact esti-
mate OF the strength of the two fleets
in respect to this gun is, therefore,
impossible.
IN protected and auxiliary cruisers,
the Russians have the advantage.
Their scout vessels Of from $500 to
$500 tons. are new, very fast and
very effective, as the little Novik
proved at Port Arthur In a battle
they are everywhere. and nowhere
and can brave a heavy fire with sur
prislng impunity.
