Among other things the article said;

tees of the Ryan holdings and the new

he purchased back to the Equitable
Society.
This sale is to be made as soon az
possible, It is stated, and MT. Ryan
has agreed to turn 1t into the society,
thus thoroughly mutualizing 1t for the
same sum he paid for It. $2.6oO.OOO plus
4 Der cent interest, between the dates
Of his purchase and the sale, 1t was
stated that a number of the newly
chosen directors, those selected by Gro
yer Cleveland, Judge Morgan J. obri-

tees, accepted posts in the directorate

emphatically that such an agreement

Judge McElhinney's action was based
on the ground that Secretary OF state

MORE CANAL TROUBLE.
DiIatory Methods Of Paying Labor
ers Causes n General ExoduD-
Labor Problem Serious.

Panama, July 15.-The bubonic
plague quarantine against La Boca has
been raised by the order Of Governor
Magoon. Owing to dllatory methods
OF paying labor. general exodus OF
workmen is taking place among the
day employees Of the canal. Reports
from Culebra indicate that laborers
are quitting in scores and taking to the
woods for bananas and other tropical
fruits to ward OF starvation. Unless
a speedy change is made in the Treas
uary department methods OF paying
wages, local labor cannot be obtained
for the canal work. The labor problem
is very serious and unless some way
can be found to meet the effect Of the
ruling Of the attorney general In re-
gard to contract labor, the time Tor
digging the canal must be extended In
definitely.

Albany, N. r., July 1s.-The legls-

whole evening in coming to the conciu-
sion that its procedure in reference 70
the allegations to the New York press
Of a "big lobby" doodle" and I'M
proper political influences in the Hook
er case and thus far probably been In
excess Of the powers Of the joint ses-
sion. The final decision was that the
case Of Editor Wardman and his as
sistauts on the New York Press must
begin all over again under at least .
new form Of subpoena.
Interest centered in the report tnat
the legislature leaders would attempt
the punishment Of Editor Wardman
for his refusal to answer questions
relating to bis expressed belief thar
improper influences were at work IN
behalf Of Justice Hooker. No such at
tempt was made, for the very jurisdic-
tion of the session was challenged OK
the outset by Managing Editor John A.
Hennessy of the Press in his REFUSAL
to obey a subpoena. and the whole mat
tar went over for at least another DAY
In defying the legislature. which ne
did by letter, Mr.. Hennessy said ha'
he declined to answer the subpoena on
the ground that the extraordinary ses-
| sion had no power-to inquire into any
matter except that designated by the
goyernor-the Hooker case. J.
Mr.. Hennessy will now be suppoe'
naed under the form provided for II

Minister TaKanlra.. This wds rne nrst
opportunity the president had had to
discuss canal matters with Mr.. Ste
yens and they went over the subject
pretty thoroughly. AS both MI.
shonts and Mr.. Stevens expect to sail
for Panama on the goth inst, the pres
ident desired to consult with them be-
fore their departure. -,
It is not likely that Mr.. Stevens Will
be made, in the near future, a member
of the executive committee OF the
Panama canal commission, position
occupied by his predecessor, Mr., wal
lace. 1t can be said that Mr.. stevens
has been given practically a free hand
to do construction work. He has his
own ideas about the methods to DO
pursued and will not be intertered

His desire is to dig the canal and 70
that great undertaking he will devote

NOT TO ADMIT COOLIES.
President Roosevelt Assures LnnoF
Lenders That No Chinese La
borers Can Come In.

Oyster Bay, July 13.-Immigratlon
to the United States and Its relation
to the labor problem formed the SUD
iect of a conference Wednesday arter-
noon between the president and TWO
of the important leaders of organized
labor Samuel Gompers. Of Washing
ton. and James Duncan, Of quincy,
Mass, respectively the president anu
one Of the vice presidents OF the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
The conference was devoted partlc-
ularly to a consideration Of the order
recently issued by the president re-
garding the enforcement Of the chi
nese exclusion law. An impression
had been gained by many members OF
labor organizations that the order to
an extent at least, let down immlgra'
ton bars so far as Chinese are con-
cerned. The president assured nl'
callers. however, that no such con-
struction properly could be placed on
the order, and that he was just as vig'
orously opposed to the admission tC
this country Of Chinese coolies as ne'
could be.
1--WE directed the presidents atten
| tion," said Mr. Gompers after the con
| ference, ITO the Interpretation placed
by some persons on his recent order
| issued at the instance Of the America
Asiatic Association, concerning IN.
admission to the United States OF chi
nese. BY many Of our people and b.
many Chinese that order was locke
upon as a letting down Of the immi
grafton bars so far as the Chinese ar
concerned. The president assured u
that no proper reading Of the orde
would warrant such an Interpretation
and that nothing was further fror
his intention than that such an I'm
preston should be gotten from tn
order. The determination Is ina
both skilled and unskilled Chinese Ia
borers shall be excluded from tn
United States, and he says the la
will be rigidly enforced.
