Given to the Graf WaIdersee nit Harn- burg-'ThOusand Immigrants Aboard.


 Hamburg, Sept. s.--One thousand irn- migrants were put on hoard the Ham burg American liner Graf Waldersee to-day from Bulgaria, where they had been quarantined for the past eight days. Past Assistant Surgeon Mc- Laughlin of the United States Marine hospital service after examining the immigrants gave the ship a clean bill of health. |@f
 About 600 of the immigrants are Rus sians, and the others are from Germany and Austria, with the exception of about seventy-t1ve, who are American citizens. The latter lodged protest yesterday with the American consul, Hugh Pitcairn, against their deten- ton.
 Dr. Mclaughlin said to the Associat- ed Press to-day: 'T am fully satisfied with the condition of the immigrants, and there was absolutely no use for their further detention. Their beddings had been thoroughly disinfected." No onre Russian immigrants will be book ed for the United States until after the raising of the embargo on cholera.

TWO BIDDERS CLAIE UNFAIR TREATMENT
BIG CONTRACT FOR FEEDING AND HOUSING CANAL EM-
 PLOYES AWARDED.

J. F. Market, of Omaha, Neb., the suc- eessfuI Biddcr-New York Firms Charge Chairman ShOnts, of the Ca-
 nal Commission, With COIIusiOn and Complain to President ROOseveIt-
 Believe PredispOsition Existed to
 Award the Contract to MarkeI- S5O,OOO,OOO Involved.
 New York, Sept. S-Chairman Shonts, of the Panama canal commission, an- nounced to-day that he had awarded concession for feeding and housing the greater part Of the canal employees to J. E. Market, of Omaha, Neb. Follow ing a months visit to Panama, MT. Market has worked out comprehen- siYe scheme, which includes the early i establishment of ten holets along the canal and railroad, each of them to ac- commodate from 150 to 250 lodgerS and twice as many diners. These hotels, it is declared, will compare favorably with the better class of commercial ho- tels in this country and will be used ; chiefly by the higher salaried employees. The average rate for board and lodging will be about $36 a month.
 For the laborers the concessionaire will at first establish twenty commits sary camps and later one hundred ad- ditional ones, each with kitchen and dining room. The average rate to la borers for cooked food will be about $14 month.
 H. Balfe & Go. and Hpdgins & Du-
 mas, both firms of this city. who were the only other bidds for the Panama concession, to-day sent telegrans and letters to President Roosevelt at Oys- ter Bay protesting against the award of the contract to J. E. Markel. At the same time the two firms addressed let ters to Chairman Shonts withdrawing their bids, in the belief that this action might invalidate an award to MT. Mar kel by leaving only one bidder in the field Tn a statement given out to-day the protesting firms declare that the. Panama contract involves no less than $50, ,000,000
 Hudgins and Dumas assert that after presenting their bid they received a letter from MT. shonts, in which he in- timated that t1eir figures were too low, and set forth a number of conditions which were not mentioned in the draft of the proposed contract on which the bids were based. Hudgins and Dumas declare that they received this infor-. nation about 3:SO o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and weretold by Mir. Shonts secretary that his principal required an answer at o'clock.
 Deducting the time consumed in type writing, they assert, they had only. ten minutes in which to revise their bid.
 Tn their telegram to President Roose- welt Hudgins and Dumas say:
 Circumstances connected with the awarding of this privilege seem to iTl- .dicate collusion, one entire section of our bid having, as we discovered by examination yesterday, been credited to MT. Markel as an original production, while the precipitancy by which bids were called for, without public adver- tisement, and with no regular time set for receiving and opening said bids in the presence of tine biders, warrant us in the assumption that predisposition existed to award the contract to MT, Markel, and that other considerations were sacrificed to this end.''

PRESIDENT ACTS QUICKLY
SUMMARY ACTION IN CASE OF PUBLIC PRINTER PALMER.
Removed From office by TeIegraph-- Had Disobeyed Specific orders--TooIz Further Action in Case Of RIcIketts and Hay When Told Not Performer Temporarily Succeeds Him.

and Hay When Told Not Performer
 Temporarily Succeeds Him.
 Oyster Bay, Sept. S.-President Roosevelt this afternoon took summary action in the case of Frank W. Palmer, public printer and head of the govern rlent printing office at Washington, by removing him from office.
 Last Monday the president directed MT. Palmer to send to him his resigna~ tion to take effect on the 18th inst At the same time he directed him not to take any further action in the cases of Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of printing, and L. c. Hay, a division foreman, in the government printing office, whose resignations MT. Palmer had requested. MT. Palmer had given Ricketts and Hay until Tuesday to show cause, in writing, why the charges he had made against them should not be operative in removing them from their positions in the event of their failure to resign.
 In direct disobedience of the presi- dents instructions MT. Palmer, on the 9th inst, notified Ricketts and Hay that the time which they might have in which to answer his charges would be extended until Sunday, the 9th inst. As this was not only violation of the presidents specific instructions, but as the case of Ricketts and Hay had been placed in the hands of the Keep com mission for investigation, the president felt it was time to take positive action regarding MT. Palmer. He therefore removed him from office by telegraph and directed him to turn over the gov- ernment printing office to Foreman Ricketts, whom he has designated as acting public printer.
 It can be said that the appointment of MT. Ricketts as acting public printer is not an assurance that he will suc- ceed permanently to that office. The president has not determined yet whom he may appoint as the successor to Mir. Palmer. It is not unlikely that the final determination of the question may depend to a considerable xtent upon the result of the further investigation into the affairs of the government printing office to be made by the Keep commission.

 tion Alone Needed--contests to be
 Between Small Yachts So as to Inter
 est Persons of Moderate Fortunes as
 well as wealthier sportsnen.
 Kiel, Prussia, Sept. S.Hsnry How ard. chairman of the regatta, committee of the Eastern Yacht club of Boston, met last night Adulfrals yon Arnim, Thompson and Von Rooster, Command CT H. G. Hdobinghaus, naval attache of the German embassy at Washington, and other members of the Imperial Yacht club, and discussed with them che plan for permanent challenge cup to be competed for by American and German yachts under the joint d. rection of the Eastern Yacht club and the Imperial Yacht club. ..>... 'Adr. Meyer, the present American arl- bassador at St Petersburg, brought the matter to the attention of Emperor William a couple of years ago when visiting Kiel. The emperor referred the project 10 his advisers on yachting. matters, who thought that the Idea was scarcely practicable, because of the diff ferences between the American and German rules of measurement and clas- sification The American rules, how ever, have been So changed since that time that 1t was thought desirable to again take up the suggestions The meeting approved a plan for races be- tween small yachts, twenty-three, to thirty footers open to boats of all Am eriean or German clubs. It was thought better to have the competition between small raters, so as to interest persons of moderate fortunes as~well as wealth. fer sportsmen, thus broadening the bas- is of internat tional sport, and contribut- ing to the general friendly relations of the two countries. The first race will be sailed in the United States, and the succeeding ones will be fixed by the country that has won the trophy, and will be run under the rules of measure nrent and classification of the chal1eng~ ing club, because as they will be racing in strange waters with boats design ed by persons unacquainted with the courses, 1t was thought that they ought to have the advantage of their own measurements so far as slight differ ences were concerned.
 The meeting appointed Rear Admiral Clarendon, Professor Busley and Naval Constructor Mueller to represent the Imperial club on the permanent com nittee. The Easter Yacht club will al- so appoint three members on this com- lnittee. The members of the Imperial club desire to have the approval of Emperor William before finally commit- ting themselves to the plan, and will lay the matter before his majesty.
 The nature of the trophy to be raced for and other questions will remain open until the emperor gives his deci- sion.

INVESTIGATORS PROBE
 INTO NEW YORK LIFE
YESTERDAY,S SESSION DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO THAT
 INSTITUTION

Company's Participation in Various
 Underwriting syndicates for Railroad
 securitIes--Not an Unusual Thing for
 Clerks and Messengers to Sign Notes
 for MiIlions-IaWson May be Called as Witness--Company Once Had to
 Sell Securities to Satisfy Prussian
 Government.
 New York, Sept. S.To-day's session of the legislative Life Insurance inves- tigation committee was devoted ex- clusively to the affairs of the New York Life Insurance company and a search- ing examination was made of its of ficers who appeared on the stand. Bee ginning with the salaries paid to the officers, the line of Inquiry extended through all the details of the connpany's participation in various underwriting syndicates for railroad securities, the New York Life's connection with trust companies, and finally. near the close of the day, developed the fact that 1t was not an unusual thing for clerks or messengers in the employ of tho company with salaries ranging as low as $500 a year to sign notes for mil- Hons of dollars to be used by the com pany in relieving it's books of undesir- able securities. An interesting feature of the day was the statement that Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, might be called as a witness. The comnit- tees chairman, State Senator Ar1n- strong, said that if the Information MT. Lawson is supposed to hold could not be secured from other sources the Boston fnancier would be asked to tes- tify. Not being a resident Of the state. MT. Lawson cannot be compelled tQ give testimony. Officers of the New York Life company testified today that on one occasion it became necessary for the company to sell certain of ts se- cgirities in order to satisfy the Prussian government. Two clerks signed notes aggregating $2, ,335.0OO, and on the books the securities appeared as sold to these parties, although they had really been turned over to the New York Trust company as security for the loan made on the notes Of the insurance company 5 employes. It was declared that since 1899 the New York Life company had not been connected with trust compa- nies, but subsequently 1t was admitted that stock of the New York Trust company Is now held for the New York Life by a committee of trustees The New York Trust company is as concern of the New York Security and xllas company and the Continental Trust company.
 When the committee adjourned this afternoon 1t was until i0:S0 o'clock next Tuesday morning.
