NEW YORK, August 14.-The care of 90

the Panama canal commission who arrived
on the steamer Mexico today from Colon
to be of first Importance and to have pre-

I'VE went to Colon with Mr.. Stevens.
the chief engineer, to see what had been
done and what should be done. We found
the first thing of Importance to be housing
and supplying 200OO men. When our gov

effort was directed toward making the dirt

should have been given toward preparing
for the task by making arrangements to
take care of the employees.
ut Is true also that the laborers were
not promptly paid and that matters were
becoming congested on the railway and
steamers. The people of the iSthmuS are
not forehanded and with the large addition
to the population caused by the influx of
the canal laborers the supplies for living
were exhausted. This caused the prices
to rise and soon the laboring class found
that they could not earn enough to sup
port themselves.

Remedying Former Trouble.

"At Colon large refrigerating plant Is
now being established from which all sup
plies will be issued promptly, so that short
ly all American employees will be able to OBJ
tain the same fare as they would at home
''Of course I found the freight congestion
causing considerable trouble but soon found
by applying those practical up-to-date
railroad methods of the United States that
in thirty days the trouble would be elmi-
mated. There is about 6o00 tons on hand
now. This freight was ordered by the old
commission to be delivered at certain inter-
walls We hurried the matter up and urged
prompt shipment with the result that it all
got to the terminal point at once.
"As to double tracking the railroad, that
cannot be done at present, even If neces-
sary. but as the work of getting out the
dirt progresses we can easily keep up with
the work with extra trackage. We have
supplied refrigerating cars for the road.
There are about 10000 employees on the
isthmus now, including the laborers."

JEWS FEAR MASSACRE.
Undated Message Sent From Odessa
by Special Courier,

Odessa, undated, sent by special
courier by way OF odwoloczyska,
Galica, Dec. 3.-This dispatch is sent
at the request of the Jewish commun-
lily, which fears d fresh massacre by
the local garrison. II is asserted that a
proclamation is being circulated in al
most every regiment, calling on the
soldiers 20 externinate the Jews and
10 destroy the newspaper offices in re-
venge for groundless accusations
against the troops of their participa-
ton In nassaeres and piilage and in
the protection of rowdies.
This is exciting the population
against the arnny.
The Jews assert that the officers de-
liver anti-Semite speeches in the bar
racks after removing the Jewish SOL
diers. and Governor General Kalbaurs
himself has confessed that the officers
are burning Tor revenge on the Jews
and that he is unable TO guarantee the
preservation of order.
In view of the fact that this city is
entirely cut of from ST. Petersburg and
thus altogether in the hands of the
local authorities, the Jewish community
imploTes all civilized nations and their
governments TO take all possible meas
ures at ST. Petersburg to prevent
catastrophe which may exceed any
thing that has yet occurred.
