Market Contract AnnulIed.

Panama, October 1.-The last action of the Panama canal commission before sailing from Colon for New York was the annullment of the contract awarded to J. F.. Market of Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for the employees of the canal. The reason for this action is that Chief Engineer Stevens, through the department of materials and sup plies, under Messrs Jackson and Smith, is handling the commissary supplies, rendering unnecessary the arrangement with Mr. Market. Protests made by the employees against the arrangement, 1t Is believed, also influenced the decision.
 The contract with Mir. Market was to run five years, and it was estimated that it would involve y5o,oO0OOO MT. Dumas, one of the other firms bidding for the contract, protested against the award to MT. Market, alleging favoritism, and charging that the latter was enabled through leak in the office of Chairman Shonts to gain information about the other bids, which aided him in bidding successfully. The protest was forward ed to President Roosevelt who referred 1t to Chairman Shonts for a report and later decided that the contract would stand.

Pittsbure O.. rs Believe the Man Who Robbed the Adams Express Company Is Travelling
 West By Freight.

Pittsburg. Pa., October 11-Up to mid
 night nothing definite had developed in
 the big Adams Express robbery of Mon | day evening"
 | What may prove an important clue as | to the actions of Cunliffe was given to the detectives today by c. G. Hoover, q | reputable merchant of Allegheny. If MT. Hoovers suspicious are correct, and the detectives are inclined to believe them, Cunliffe did not leave this neighbor-
 hood until after Tuesday evening. MT. Hoover says that on Tuesday evening.
 while he was fishing along the banks of the Ohio near Emsworth, suburb of Allegheny, he heard behind him a hard, dry cough, but could see no one. After
 several repetitions of the cough he locat- ed a man whom he has since learned
 answered the description of the missing
 man.
 Was Cutting His Hair. He had a small mirror fastened on a
 bush and was industriously cutting his
 hair with a pair of clippers. The detec-
 tives think as Cunlffe might do ex- pected to do the most unusual thing, it
 would not be a surprise if the man MT. Hoover saw should not turn out to be the fugitive. According to the detec-
 tives he could easily carry the $1O0.OOO
 on his person without attracting atten- tion. The package contained 1900 bills, and this number could easily be dis tributed through the mans pockets or
 about his person. The numbers of the bills are not known.
 Think He Has Gone West. The officers think the robber will be captured within few days between here and St. Louis, Kansas City or Omaha.
 travelling by freight.
 Nothing hasdeveloped to make it ap- near that Cunliffe had a confederate. T. Hart Give. president of the Farm CTS Deposit bank, the institution which
 consigned the 100000 package to the
 First National bank of Cincinnati, when seen this afternoon, said: "The incident is closed so far as we are concerned, and 1t IS up to the ex-
 press company. We have the express
 company's receipt for the package, and
 understand the Cincinnati bank was
 reimbursed today by the express com pany.'
