PANAMA AFF AIRS
LOOK BRIGHTER
Yellow Fever Scare Is Now
Subsiding.
CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED
President Makes Plain to Mr.. Stevens
That He Is to Have
Free Hand.

A letter received from an employe OF
the Panama Railroad Company, writ
ten after it was learned on the isthmus
that a new chief engineer had been ap-
pointed in charge of the canal work. re-
fleets improved conditions of public
}opinion there. It is stated that sani-
tary conditions are not SO bad as re-
ported In the States. and that the
scare over yellow fever is decidedly SUBJ
siding.
Chief Engineer Wallace was regarded
ir the Canal Zone as a very competent
official, and when 1t was first announced
that he was likely to leave. the effect
was depressing. But following the ex-
ploitation of the reasons for his retire
ment. sentiment showed a reaction, and
the appointment Of Mr.. Stevens is re-
garded now as a satisfactory solution
OF a difficult problem. Mr.. Stevens ar
rival at the Canal Zone Is awaited
there with much interest.
The forthcoming trip of Chairman
Shonts and Engineer Stevens 20 the
zone will be made aboard one of the
newly purchased vessels Of the canal
commission, which il is promised, Will
make good the promise of cutting at
least two days off the length of the trip.
Will Have Free Hand.
The chairman and engineer, in their
visit to the President at oyster Bay
yesterday discussed the general situa-
ton on the big work, and it was made
plain to Mr.. Stevens that he will be
gwen u free hand in conduct of the
excavation. Chairman Shonts explained
that there are now about 1:.0O0 men on
Athe work. and this is as many as can
te satisfactorily employed at present.
The organization of the working and
engineering forces at the isthmuS Is
still to be perfected In some directions,
and this will be turned over to Mr..
Stevens
Houses and sanitary projects must be
locked after before the force can De
considerably enlarged. and the pro-
vision of amusement and recreation fa-
eilities will also be undertaken at once
Chairman Shonts expressed doubt
whether Chinese labor would be salts
factory for the canal work, certainly
rot that from the northern part OF the
country He believed people Injured TO
the tropics must be drafted for the
prosecution of the work.

The Baiboas are not only quite small,

Spring TRADE
IS LIVENINC Up
Railroad Facilities Taxed
to Accommodate Increased
Shipments of Merchandise
BIG DEMAND FOR STEEL
Crop Reports Are Favorable
and the General Business
Outlook Is Much Brighter

NEW YORK, March 24.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say:
While rejecting irregularities the
volume of distributive trade and the
movement of industry hold the in
crease recorded last week. From the
South, in fact, the tenor of advices is
even better. Retail trade at the large
cities is livening up as spring ad-
vances. Crop reports, especially from
winter wheat, are good and increas-
ingly favorable.
Lumber and hides are firm and ac-
tive.
The really remarkable feature in
current industry Is the continuance
of the heretofore heavy inquiry for
all kinds of iron and steel, crude and
finished.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending March %
number 204, against 186 last week
and 215 last year.
In Canada failures for the week
number 1s, as against 22 last week
and Is in this week a year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending March % are 1,044,-
sos bushels. against 895,S4 last week.
1,101,S45 this week last year and
2,401,9 9S7 in 1908.
From July 1 to date the exports are
46,63S,699 bushels, against 114.742,-
2S4 last year, 120,S41,515 in 1903 and
1S9, 1884, 615 in 1902.
NEW YORK, March 24.-R. G..
Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
will say:
Spring trade responds to seasonable
weather and shipments of merchan-
disc have increased so rapidly that
railway facilities are severely taxed.
Railway earnings for the first two
weeks of March were 7.9 per cent
/! larger than last year, and foreign
commerce at this port for the week
shows a gain of s2,077,012 in exports
and $175,25S in imports as compared
with 1904.
Strength is seen in the hide market,
especially for native steers of midwin-
ter sailing, and sole leather branded
hides are in limited supply.
Failures this week number 255 in
the United States, against 226 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared
with 15 year ago.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BLAMED
FOR VICIOUS LEGISLATION
Californian Warns Illinois Legislature
Against Giving the Ballot to
Other Sex.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. March "a
The Illinois House of Representatives
to-day listened with grave interest to
the reading of letter from PRO
Bono Publico," who is at present in
Los Angeles, CAL, and who hopes the
Illinois Legislature will not pass the
equal suffrage bill.
God made men and women differ
ent," says the writer. Then let each
remain in their own condition. If the
State of Illinois grants partial or full
political rights to women, 1t will Bit
terly regret it. Look at the bedev-
lied condition Of Colorado, which can
be traced to women political bosses
and lack of common sense in women
voters. Californians, profiting by the
sad experience of Colorado, Kansas
and Wyoming, and not wanting their
State to be in the same condition and
their business interests to be ruined
by foolish and vicious legislation, turn
down all attempts of professional
-suffragists and their male adherents
to saddle the abomination on the
State
