GETS BACK AT TAFT.
John r. Wallace Appears Before SEN
ate Canal Committee.

Washington. Feb. 6-John F. Wal
lace, former chief engineer of the 18th
mian canal, was again before the senate
committee on interocearic canals today.
Yesterday he was diverted from a de-
scription of conditions on the isthmus
which he made today. He gave a min
ute account of the conditions he found
there and the difficulties he encountered
in getting material and supplies and the
delays that occurred in filing requisi-
tions.
While he was cabling to have the or
ders expedited, he said, he received word
from Admiral Walker that cablegrams
cost money. 1t was d delicate hint, he
said, that he had better not use the
cables so much.
Mr.. Wallace said to the committee
that he did years work and that his
successors had no benefit of his analysis
of rains because, he said, the secre-
tary of war told me he did not want
it and had no use for me except on the
isthmus as directing engineer he
was so angry in his treatment that ne
all but cursed me.

400 Spend More.
New York, Feb 6=The intense
feminine interest in the trousseau of
Miss Roosevelt and the widespread
discussion it has aroused has developed
the fact that New York has MANY
brides every year who spend as high
as $4,000 to $4,000 for trousseau.
While there are not many who spend
$4,000 on their bridal outfit. there are
dozens who pay $4,000.
Western brides buy costly gowns.
Not all these handsome and expensive
trousseaux made in New York are
confined to Father Knickerbocker' s
brides, strictly speaking. Included in
this fortunate class are many daugh-
ters of the west, who journey to New
York to purchase their bridal ward
