missary should precede any further work in the actual excavation of the ca nal. The question of funds has not in terfered with our plans at Panama In any way.
 '"The order issued by the commission during its recent visit to Panama to cease excavation on the canal was due
 to the fact that before the men could dig with steam shovels they must have railroads laid to carry away the dirt.
 It was further issued because the em- ployes had to have place to live in before they could be expected to work
 and because a good commissary was
 imperative. Finally, there was lack of sufficient terminals, both for the rail- road and for the ocean shipping, 5,0OU tons of which lay piled up with no means of handling 1t.
 This is all preliminary work which ought to have been done at the outset of operations on the Panama Canal but which was not done then. l cannot

shonts Repudistes Report That Work of Excavation Was stopped Through Lack of Funds Claiming Lack of Prep
 arntlOm.

Washington, Aug. 17.-One of the first important tasks awaiting MT. Shonts when he assumed the presi- dency of the Jsthmian Canal Commis- sion was the conversation of the pal ance of the appropriation of ten mii- lions dollars so as to guard against the stoppage of the work of canal building.
 Calling to his aid several expert ac- couutants the exact state Of finances of the commission was ascertained ana 1t was found that the work could De steadily prosecuted until congress at the next regular session should nave ample opportunity to provide more funds Therefore the balance on hand was divided into monthly allotments which have so far been closely au- hered to save in one case. where an unexpected demand arose for addltioh- al transportation facilities.
 The commission today issued the ioA- lowing statement:
 Tt was officially stated at the lsth- milan Canal Commission today that the appropriation by congress or $lO'OoV.- 900 for the construction of the canal there was on April 1, 1905, the date on which the present commission LOOK hold, an available balance to the cred if of this appropriation of S7.426,5ss.
 "During the month of April the ex- nenditures from this appropriation aggregated $475.OoO; during May, $5o3.- 000: during June s659,0000; during Ju- Iy, S77O.00O; for wages, salaries mater ials and equipment.
 "During July there was an unusual expenditure for the purchase or two ships at $65O.00O each. not included in the July expenditures above.
 "T1urinR the month of August, up to and including the 18th $250.O0O had been expended This left to the bal ance of the appropriation on August IS s2,Sl6,713, in addition to which each of fine two disbursing officers had in hand SbOO,O on this date"
 It win be seen from the foregoing that the average expenditure per month. leaving out of consideration inc purchase of those two ships was in the neighborhod of $46O.Oo0 and at that rate of expenditure the s2.Sl6,7ls will last until early in January, whieh ;s according to the schedule fixed by MT. Shonts on April l, when he be- came chairman of the commission.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: "The report that Senator Cor man of Maryland may retire perma- nentIy from public life at the end of his present term in the Senate probably has some foundation in the state of his health. Mir. German has a son. A. P. German. Jr., who is making headway in Maryland politics, and there will be interest among the friends of the fath- CT in the sons career. The young man. who Is now In. the Maryland Legisla- ture, Is thought to have inherited some of the political talent that carried the Senator so far as a party leader"

Approve the Suspension.


 President R. H. Baugh of the Pir- mfngham Baseball Association today received a telegram from President kavanaugh of the Southern League in reference to the six members of the Birmingham Club who went out on "strike" a few days ago and who have been suspended, as follows: "Suspen- sion of mutinous players approved. Unless they are reinstated by you, will have the National Association to black list them." The local association does not give any intimation of intentions of reinstating the players. It was stated this afternoon that some steps have been taken by more than one of the striking" players looking to a re- instatement. but so far nothing definite Is given out. If the Birmingham As- sociation maintains its position taken there is likely to be six ball players on the blacklist in the very near fu- ture.
