Sea Level or Lock Canal,

Thirteen engineers are to meet next month in Washington-not Panama to render expert advice to the govern ment as to the canal problems of Pan ana. It is to be an official body sum- moned by the government, and paid by it. Two of the thirteen consulting engineers will be foreigners.
 The consulting board of engineers will consider the advantages and dis advantages of thirty, sixty and ninety foot levels, as well as sea-level canal. They will study all plans and hear all suggestions, and then they will pro ceed to resolve themselves into petit jury, and bring in verdict.
 The government will hesitate to act contrary to the advice of the thirteen engineers it is about to consult. The conclusions reached by them will go first to Chairman Shonts, and then to 
 the President, who will perhaps trans init them to Congress. As the board is to meet in August in Washington 1t is reasonable to assume that 1t will be ready to report before Congress meets in November.
 At present Chairman Shonts and his commission are carrying out no defi- nite plan. They are removing rock In Culebra cut that must be removed no matter what plan is finally adopted. They are trying to render the canal zone habitable through sanitation They are organizing working forces But they do not know whether they are digging a sea-level canal or lock canal in which ships would be lifted as high as ninety feet. Congress is the final arbiter, and the question will no doubt be submitted to it in Novem Der.

STORIES THAT ARE TOLD

 At one time MT. Simpson and MT. Bailey of Texas were literally quoted as hold ing in supreme contempt conventionalities regarding dress. MT. Bailey has clung tenaciously to his views in this respect. But MT. Simpson, while realizing the in- oongruty of posing as a fashion plate In remote, almost frontier, district, be- lieves in adapting himself to the man. ners and customs of his surroundings, and during his stay in the east accepts the latest fashions in the same spirit as would lead him to adopt the tenets of his party. Before he retired from Congress he became an enthusiastic cyclist, and as if to repudiate the 'sockless" libel adopted the somewhat sociferous golf hose much to the disgust of his confrere, MT.

Our Trade With China.

The Chinese merchants pay no atten- tion to official orders or instructions. They act independently. and all the authorities in Pelxin cannot change their policy. No matter how the boy colt of American goods was started whether by returning and insulted stu dents, by MT. Wu or by public senti- ment-it is spreading rapidly, and all the merchants at the ports are accept ing it and pledging themselves to act in accordance with it.
 Thus far it has not been felt in this country, because existing contracts cover the remainder of the present year. All existing contracts will be lived up to, but when the time comes for the making of new contracts the south will feel the boycott severely China will no doubt buy European made goods. This will not affect the , price of raw cotton, but 1t will lessen the profits of southern mills. In 1902 China took from our mills 325 million yards of cloths. colored and uncolored,

Knock for Coal Rarons.

I'm not pessi4nist nor a knocker, but an optlmist and booster,' said a well-known young Birmingham lawyer, who is also baseball enthusiast
 T am.' he continued. such an opti- mist that I believe the Birmingham team, if 1t will play the quality of ball 1t has demonstrated on numerous occasions it can play. still has a chance to make it interesting for New Orleans in the pen nant race. But I'm going to do a little knocking now. To begin with, l have observed a marked tendency on the part of several men of the Birmingham team recently to loaf in the Sames. In fact, this applies to majority of the mem- bers of the team. This has not been so much in their fielding as In their base- running Take Delehanty, for instance. This boy Is natural-born ball player, and comes from perhaps the greatest family of baseball players in the world. Like all the othehr Delehantys who have been opponents ot the national game, our Del Is a fine fielder, a splendid bat ter and a fast man on the bases. But he has one grave fault that is noticeable lO all ClOS6 ODStINciS. I1c oOcS HOi run out all his hits as if he were in earnest. Watch him and you will see that he watches his hits instead of running at the crack of the bat without paying any attention to where the ball goes. If he bunts he will often loaf and watch the ball to see whether 1t will roll into foul territory. He can overcome this fault easily, however, and when he does, there vii. be another great ball player added to the Delehantys family-one good enough to hold his own in the very fast est company I could mention three or four other members of the team who have been failing O. late to take advan- tage of all the opportunities presented to them, but those who have been watch ing closely will know who it is without my calling any more names"
 T agree with you" said a city official. who is a great lover of the national pas- time. Why, I'll tell you that in my opin- ion the reason the New Orleans team is leading the league by such a margin today is because the players never let an opportunity get away from them, especially on the base lines. very man runs out every hit without loafing along to see where it will go. l noticed II | the games last week that even with two hands out any player who made any sort of a fair hit ran it out just as | if he was sure 1t was a two or three- bagger. That sort of playing has won the Frankfurters many games this sea- son and is likely to win them many more"

Shuttle Trains and Shot Guns.

Unless shotguns are aimed at the stegomyia they cannot become effect i've, for person cannot transmit the dreaded fever. True, person stricken with the fever could through prospect i've mosquitoes transmit the disease. Still it seems better to drop the shot gun and imprison the victim in netting. Inside netting he could harm no one, and humanity would score point.
 Shuttle trains are bothersome, but there is some sense in them provided they are kept we'll fumigated. Sul- phur, netting and petroleum have in fact become the weapons with which the fever can be scientifically and ef fectively assailed.
 The shotgun quarantine should be abolished as being both useless and out of date. It grew up in the days when people did not know as much as they thought they did. They did not know the first principles of fever trans. mission. It might be well to shoot holes through a fruit-trade quarantine but holes are not useful in any other feature of the fever outbreak.

Uncle Sam and Yellow Fever.

Tt Is difficult" said J. B, Baoo, the secretary of the Commercial club. last night at the Morris. ito magnify the lih- portance to this section of the union ot the announcement that the Federal au- thorities will undertake the work or stamping out yellow fever in the south.
 ITO begin with l confidently believe that the work will be successful, and when 1t is done the word will go forth to the world that the plague of yellow fever no longer does and no longer can afflict cities of the southern states. The announcement, coming as it does from the United States government, will be read and accepted as true throughout Europe as we'll as America, and will tend to strengthen the position of the south in the estimation of all investors at the north and beyond the seas.
 "The south has suffered long and ser- iously by reason of lies circulated about it by persons not interested in its develop ment. Our section has been painted as a land that is afflicted with yellow fever scourges, cheap and inefficient negro la bor, storms, freshets. earthquakes and know one knows what other ills. All these stories have been accepted as true by credulous persons who live in Europe and have done moro than anything else to retard the immigration movement. For this reason, as well as for others. I am glad that Uncle Sam has consented to clean up New Orleans"
