WASHINGTON, May Sin a letter to Seore-
tary Of War Taft, which was sent to Con-
gress to-day, T. P. Shonts, chairman Of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, who re-
Gently returned from an inspection trip
to the Isthmus, says hat it is most essential
that q speedy decision be reached by Con-
gress as TO the type OF the Panama Canal
whether It shall be sea level or lock. Mr.,
Shonts asserts that procrastination in
reaching a decision on the type will cause
delay in procuring materials and equip
ment, and loss of time IN this score may
ultimately mean a very serious delay in the
construction Of the canal. Mr.. Shonts o
remarks on this point come at the con-
clueion Of his report when he says:
THE most important and pressing ques-
ton before the commission to-day is q de-
oonstructede Chief Engineer Stevens
pointed out to me the route OF several
diversion channels, the construction OF
which should be under way, but which
he cannot commence until the type OF cana,
, certain other intermediate yards which
We cannot locate until that decision Is
re. ohed.

sion Of the steel pier, already referred to,
not knowing whether or not the type, de-
cided on will oeJuse US to abandon all these
improvements The extent and character
Of additional equipment to be purchased
are all awaiting the determination OF this
most vital question, and inssmueh as AZ
this machinery and equipment must De
manufactured to order In the United states,
and manufacturers in almost every branch
are filling their books with orders months
ahead, the delay in reaching a decision
as to type may mean a very serious delay
in getting the necessary plant, and thus
ultimately mean serious delay in the con-
~struction Of the canal
In summing up the situation on the
Isthmus Mr.. Shonts says that the policy
adopted by the canal commission last year
Of making thorough preparation first ana
then making the dirt fly has been en-
tirely justified.
one Of the results Of Mr.. Shonts's trip
to the Isthmus was q decision on the part
OF Civil Services Commissioner Cooley ana
Chief Examiner Kigglngs, who were In
the party, to establis a local examining
board on the Isthmus. Mr.. Shonts devotes
considerable spece to the Improvement
shown In the handling OF freight and tho
running Of the Panama steamers and rail-
way.

LISBON, May s,-Queen Amelia was vio-

unprecedented.
1t arose from the angry feeling Of the

The King is regarded IS having been re-
sponsible for the attack, and to avoid a

the butt Of the popular resentment.
