IE SAYS--TELLS IN A LETTER OF
THE NUMEROUS DIFFICULT.
TIES THAT ARE TO BE
OVERCOME --REGRETS
EIGHT HOUR DAY.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The Isghmian
Canal comm sslon today made public
a letter written by Isham Randolph, a
member of the board of consulting en-
gineers of the Panama canal to Zina
r. Garter, president of the sanitary
district of Chicago, which embodies
the views Of Randolph concerning the
canal matters.
He has recently returned from visit
to Panama with other members of the
board and his opinions are interesting
and i'm view Of the publication of the
letter by the commission which may
be considered semiofficial,
Randolph says; What we do know
is thar it can be done; that Americans
can do it, and that in as short a me
as so stupendous an undertaking can
be put through We do know that al
most lmitless rSourcei hwait de-
mand of builders; that the builders
represent highest grade of American
engineering talent led on by man
whose record of accomplishment is
but the earnest of things that he shall
do
Hence we may reasonably look for
passage of great ocean freighers from
Ca~ribean to the Pacific before our
calendars are headed for 1915. How
much before this 'deponent sayeth
not. This n easy triumph, but
for tho bu lders who must contend
with and overcome difficulties not on
countered in our temperate zone"
Among these difficulties are the
climatic conditions; the housing of
employees. and the labor All of these
are bclnA overcome, 1S.sudoipn -as's.
that when the equipment Is on hand
and organization perfected, at least
u 900 men Wi be required in the
various departments. Jamacan labor
ers. understanding the scarcity of men
have become so independent that the
value of their labor Is almost worth
less.
The Introduction of the eight hour
system on The lsthmus. Randolph con-
siders "a lamentable mistake and one
which adds about % per cent. TO the
labor cost of the work.
THE whole line is clustered up with
abandoned French machinery. the cost
value of which is sad to reach $50
100000. This mach merry is valueless,
and out of date"
Randolph speaks we'll Of the canal
boarding house and says the food is
wholesome and well cooked. He says
the hospitals are the greatest success
and are the pride of The people.

confirmed. 1t can be stated positively
that the emperor has rendered the
position of premier Of the cabinet
about to be formed, to Witte, who,
however, guarded his acceptance with
certain conditions which were placed
before His Majesty in the form of a
written memorandum.
Witte is said to have informed the
emperor that he could accept the posi-
ton only an the condition that he
would be a real premier with a work
ing cabinet and not a mere figure head
of an irresponsible body.
According to the report the emperor
actually appointed Witte premier
after accepting his stipulations. This
report is premature but 1t can be said
that his majesty has undoubtedly con-
iided to the count the task of drawing
up. according to his ideas, the project
for a responsible ministerial cabinet

advice of Witte, the powers of The
new Douma will be extended along
