Washington, July 1.-The Isthnlian Canal
Commission at meeting which lasted prae-
tically ali day reviewed and approved the re-
ports of the biweekly meetings of the executive

Wallace was a member of the executive commit

Chairman shopts and Mr. Stevens the new chief
engineer will &C to the isthmus at the same
time, the calling date being fixed at next
Tuesday.
Chairman Shonts has cabled the temporary
appofn t1nent of Engineer Dauchy as chief engi-'

vens. He has also cabed authority to the as
sistant superintendent of the Panama Railroad
to conduct that road until the arrival of Mr..
Stevens.

Railroad, and the Pacific Mail Steamship Line,
which expires on July u. according to the no.

with the through billing of freight over that line
to Pacific ports both in North and South Amer
lea as heretofore. While no agreement to this.
effect will be entered into between the govern.
ment and the steamship line, oral under.
standing has been reached whereby the old
rangement is to continue, to be interrupted on
ninety days notice from the steamship com
pany, This arrangement was the outcome of an
effort to have the United States agree to bill
freight only to steamship lines having American

With the visit of the engineering members of the
commission to the sthrnus, with view particu-
larly to getting together all available data as to
the engineering features of the work to be ac-

commissioners that delay because OF the
resignation Of Mr.. Wallace would be occasioned
either in carrying the work on the isthrnus

be constructed. The commission approved the
recommendation of its engineering committee
that all bids relative to the dredging of Colon
