Washington, Dec. 49, Chairman
Shonts, accompanied by Chief Engi-
neer J. F.. Stevens Of the isthmian
canal commission, have arrived in
Washington. Mr.. Stevens has come to
Washington to give his views to the
commission on the type of canal that
should be constructed. His advice to
the commission will be based upon his
study Of the great engineering prob
lem, as he has been on the ground for
several months.
Mr.. Stevens, it may be definitely
stated, is in favor of lock canal and
at moderately high level. He will
recommend to the commission the con-
struction Of a lock canal for num-
Der of reasons, which he is prepared
to present, but principally because, in
his opinion, the cost and length of
time which will be required for build
ing such canal can be estimated
with great degree of defniteness,

New York, Dec. 28.-John G. Mccall,
secretary Of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, who a few days ago
returned from Europe, where he went
to get an accounting Of money adj
vanced to Andrew Hamilton, was the
drst witness Of the day in the insur-
ance investigation. .
Mr.. Mccall said he saw Hamilton in
France and that MI. Hamilton was
seriously i'll, though able to walk
about. Mr.. Mccall also presented a
physicians certificate describing Mr..
Hamiltcn's Illness and stating that the
patient could not undertake a voyage
or leave France within two months.
Mr.. Mccall said he asked Hamilton for
his check books, but Hamilton refused
to give them up, saying that the stubs
related to his own personal business.
Mr.. Mccall did, however, get a state
ment from Hamilton regarding the ex-
penditures Of funds entrusted to him
by insurance companies. The state
ment was then put in evidence.
Mr.. Hamilton, in his statement, tells
why he cannot produce vouchers or
cancelled checks to show to whom
and In what amounts he had paid out
money. The statement is to the eff
fect that in consequence of the<accept-
ed understanding of the companies in-
terested with the New York Life in
watching legislation mo demand was
made BY me for vouchers from other
people, nor were there any books or
accounts kept by me covering the

Nor are there any Of my checks to

$4,000 and that about 100 Red Gross

tionists are showing signs of exhaus-
ton, they do not regard the issue as

reappeared during the day, fans the
flames by holding out encouragement
for the success of the revolt. The
paper declares that the, area of the
fighting is increasing instead of dimin-
lshing and asserts that the insurgents
are holding six miles of barbados.
In spite of the bad prospects here
the leaders of the revolutionists are
continuing their. desperate efforts to
bring on general conflict.

IHAMILTON'S STORY READ
By INSURANCE INQUlSIT0RS.
The Great Legislative Lobbyist NaiVely States None Of
the Insurance Money Given Him
Was Illegally Used

VI S0AlSCGuCS.
"The usual practice of depending
alone upon counsel to attend and pre-
sent arguments was determined to be
insufficient" says Mr.. Hamilton. "The
very fact that the great life insur-
ance interests Of New York favored
or opposed pending legislative propo-
sitions would itself often concentrate
the opposition against their views; so
likewise did the knowledge that we
were represented at the capitals of
various states lead to demands that
political favorites should be en-
ployed in the role of counsel, which,
II acceded to, placed our affairs at the
mercy Of those who did not possess
our confidence. These and other con-
alterations led the three companies to
but one conclusion. We felt that If a
secret service was a permissible gov
eminent agency confidential service
would be the only effective and at the
same time proper plan to guard the
welfare Of the most extensive CONNER
cial interests in the .world--the life in
surance business of the state Of New
York. This confidential secret service
was decided upon as the only feasible
plan Of protection. / explained to the
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, as did the other gentle
men who were associated with me in
this work to the officers of their re-
spective companies, that itemized &C
counts by names, or amounts by sep
arate vouchers, details or particulars,
should not be demanded II we were to
be held responsible. The protection
of companies under such q plan was
ample"
A statement of money received by
Mr.. Hamilton shows the total Of $780,
$50 for the years from 1899 to 1905.
Mr.. Hamilton sets forth that the tax
measures alone defeated by his work
have saved the New York Life Insur-
ance company over $4,000, 1000.
In concluding his statement Mr..
Hamilton says that 1.-THE injunctions of
the president Of the New York Life to
me were always Enthusiastically explicit
that my expendi tures and my work
were Ia be strictly confined Within the
limitations ef the law az the land.
