NEEDS
RAILROAD MEN
GOVERNMENT OFFERS
GOOD PAY ON CANAL.
Railroad Men VIII Be Needed to
Operate the Gravel and Supply
Trains on the Isthmus Canal Con-
struction-Wages and Age Limits
for Different Tradesmen Are Given.

The need of railroad men in Pana-
ma is exciting much attention among
local railroad men and it is probable
that several employees of the o. r.
& n. will take the examinations for
positions on the isthmian railroad.
The men wanted by the government
for railroad service are switch en-
gineers, switchmen, brakemen, con-
ductors, switch engine firemen and
bridge carpenters.
Other trades needed by the govern
ment are steam and air drill fore
men, and workmen.
The wages to be paid to railroad
men in the government service and
the requirements are as follows:
Yardmaster, age limit 25 to so years,
salary $3.50 per month; switchmen.
age limit 21 to As, salary 800 per
per month; switch engineer, 21 to As
years, salary s115; firemen, 800 per
month.
Conductors, age limit 21 to as, 800
per month; for bridge foremen the
salaries range from 800 to $125, and
for bridge workmen, $75 to 800.
In all cases transportation from
New York, New Orleans or San Fran
cisco, to Panama, will be furnished
free to the laborers accepted. No
educational test will be required, but
a physical and technical examination
will be given.
Employees in all these branches will
be furnished free quarters, but will
be required to board and clothe them
selves. Promotions on merit will be
made by the canal commission.

lively little sickness among Americans
on the isthmus and by care in the

little danger.

railroad department are to be sent to

sheep. The Legislature of Wyoming

TROUBLE PROBABLY AvERTED.
Relations Between Colombia and
Venezuela NAV Not Be Disturbed.

Advices received at the State Department
are to the effect that the threatened trouble
between Colombia and Venezuela. growing
out of the escape of the Venezuelan Gen.
Martnelli, after his extradftion had been
demanded of the Colombian government,
has probably been averted The basis of
settlement Is not known but it is believed
that when President Castro became ac-
quainted with the facts in the case and sat-
isfied himself that the Colombian govern
ment had actually endeavored to comply
with the Venezuelan demand he was will
ing to reconsider his action in recalling
the Venezuelan consul at Cucuta and in
ordering the withdrawal Of the consul gen
eral at Bogota.
The last reports from Caracas are to the
effect that United States Minister Russell
Is still endeayorinE to restore to their nor
NAL condition the strained relations now
existing between the French and Venezuelan
governments with promise OF success.

tative Of the New York and Bermudez AS

UPPER CLAsSMEN APPREHEN-

Hearing of the Decatur Case on This
Afternon-Revelation Of In
quiry Prove Effective.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, December 30.-The.
developments OF each day connected with
hazing at the Naval Academy increase the
number of midshipmen who are found to
have been engaged in the practice and the
consequent seriousness of tho situation
with which the authorities are compelled
to deal.
Three rnidshipmen OF the first class are
now under arrest on separate charges or
hazlng, and 1t Is reliably stated that about
twenty more members Of the same class
have had cases made out against them by
the evidence produced before the board Of
inquiry which has been In session at the
Naval Academy for three weeks.
The number Of midshipmen in the second
and third classes who are thought to be in
volved Is about 100, but 1t is thought that
possibly the courts-martial may end after
the disposal Of the cases of the first class
men. Although nothing official has been
said on this point 1t Is surmised that 1t Is
not likely that this large number of mid
shipmen will be brought to trial for hazing.
the only penalty for which. under the law.
is dismissal.
If over twenty midshipmen, first classmen
who would otherwise have graduated within
a month or so, are brought to trial for taz-
ing. and are convicted and dismissed. and
the other midshipmen are made to under
practice viii start the crusade anew, there
is little doubt that the end OF the practice
will be reached and the trial OF the under
classmen may not be regarded necessary.
The upper classmen at any rate would be
regarded as most cuipable, being in post
tions of greater trust and having had great
er opportunities of knowing their duty
The trial OF MIdshipman Stephen Decatur,
jr., charged with the hazing of Midshipmen
1. N. McCrary of Texac and @. Church
of Pennsylvania, both members OF the
fourth class. was practically begun at
this afternoon, the session of yesterday
having closed Immediately after the swear
ing OF the court. Great interest is taken in
Decatur, and a vigorous fight is being made
to save him. His father, who is a resident
of Portsmouth, N. H. Is here. as is Lieut..
Commander Edward e. Capehart y. 8. N,
who Is taking great interest In young De-
catur's case. Messrs. e. s. Theall Of Wash
ington and Daniel r. Randall of Annapolis
are his counsel. Decatur's scholastic stand
ruary II, Is six, and he is great grandson
Of the naval hero of the same name
The other first classmen who are known
to have had official action taken in their
cases are Worth Wright Foster OF New
Albany. Ind, who has had charges filed
against him. and Carroll c. Graves Of
Spokane. Wash, who Is under arrest, but
has not received his charges. Most of the
remaining members of the class are await
Ing In trepidat!on, and freely state that it
is only a matter of who is found out, as
nearly every member Of the class has had
something to do with hazing. In fact, a
short time ago they were talking about ad-
uniting this in a body to the authorities.

Although the papers in the case of Mid

In March. 1876, the Attorney General says

strongly to advise against any such course
as will tend by indirection to nullify the

In the same letter the Attorney General
said further: SIT IL evident from the read

that Congress meant to cut of all chance
of reinstatement or reappointment from a

calculated speed The Glacier was heading

The belief is that Capt. Hosley. who COM

cruise so as TO guard against being swept
too far northward by the gulf stream when
he strikes across on the longest leg of his
