TOO MUCH RED TAPE
 SAYS ENGINEER WALLACE
FAVORED CONTRACT WORK ON PANAMA CANAL FOR THIS
 REASON

Declares Man in Charge of the Work
 on the IsImus Should be the Undis-
 puted Head-Present Arrangement
 Amount to a Chain of Masters
 The Harder the Communication With
 Washington the Less Work Will be
 Retarded.
 Washington, Feb. 7.-John Findley Wallace, former chief engineer of the tsthmian canal commission, to-day con- cluded his testimony before the senate canal committee, except in relation to the type of canal, which will be taken up after the reports of the board of consulting engineers have been made public. He said the red tape necessary to the system involved in governmental work compelled him to favor the con- tract plan of building the canal in order to expedite it's completion. He thought the man in charge of the work on the isthmus should be the undisputed head, with the governor of the zone second and the man who has charge of the procuring of supplies and men third in authority. The present arrangements, he said, amounted to chain of mas ters, with the chairman of the commits sion an executive commissioner, MT. Cromwell, Secretary Taft and the pres ident, grading to MT. Stevens, or the man in actual charge of operations on the isthmus. He said MT. Cromwell had been included as one of the masters for the reason that he seemed to have certain undisputed influence which en- titled him to be classed in the chain. Headquarters of the commission should be on the isthmus, Mr. Wallace said, and the harder the communication with Washington the less the work would be retarded. He thought the engineer in charge was not paid an excessive sal ary.
 Senator Morgan suggested that MT. Stevens was receiving as much as all of the six senators in the committee room, and MT. Wallace replied: Yes, and l presume he earns it."
 He thought the chairman of the com mission, if he was to live in the United States, was receiving too much, but said he could not speak confidently con- corning that matter. Discussing rates on the Panama railroad, he thought there should be no classification of freight in the schedules, but that a charge of $2 ton should be made. He compared the Panama railroad to the railroads of the United States as 3 grain of sand to the seashore, and said: If this government cannot deal with the rates on that little road in satis- factory manner it had better leave the railroad systems of the United States alone"
 The hearing was adjourned until Fri day at il o'clock.

BAD SNUB FOR KAISER,
Colonel Gaedke Forces EmperOr's Hand
 and Defeats Him.

Berlin, Feb. TIA novel case, turning upon the right to use the title of colonel, was tried in one of the Berlin courts to-day, well-known military correspondent, Colonel Gaedke, being the defendant. Gaedke had been some years on the retired list, and became military critic of Tageblatt, for which paper he wrote certain things, which dlspleased the military authorities. The latter summoned Gaedke before a court of honor, which decided that he had forfeited his right to use the title of colonel and to wear an officers uni- form. The basis of this decision was that the emperor two years ago issued an order in this sense, Gaedke being then in Manchuria. Upon his return, Gaedke continued to use the title and wear the uniform on the ground that the court of honor was without legal competency. Gaedke then tried through sharp criticism to compel the war de- partment to bring suit against him for using the title illegally, but failing therein he denounced himself to a civil court for unlawfully using the title. The trial o-day attracted much atten- tion owing to the novel features. The prosecuting attorney asked that a months arrest be imposed on Gaedke, but the court acquitted him, thus over- ruling the emperor's order.

BALFOUR YIELDS 10 JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
GENERAL MEETING OF THE UNIONIST PARTY TO BE
 HELD.

Expected to Convene February 15-
 Former Colonial Secretary Issues
 Important Manifesto Which, While
 Accentuating Rather Than Lessen
 ing the Party Tension, Still Leaves
 BaIfOur n Bridge Over Which to
 Cross.
 London, Feb. "A. J. Balfour has finally acceded to Joseph Chamberlain's wish that a call be made for a general meeting of the unionist party, which it is expected will be fixed for Febru- ary 15 though no details have yet been settled. In the meantime MT. Cham berlain has issued an important mani festo which, while accentuating rather than loosening the party tension, still leaves MT. Balfour a bridge over which to cross into the reform camp. Other- wise beyond exactly defining MT. Chamberlain s position, the letter leaves matters much as they were before.
 The Chamberlain newspaper organs this morning apparently assume that Mr. Balfour will cross the bridge, for the unionist papers head their articles. "The Crisis Ended, "A United Party, etc., and editorialize in the same strain, The suggestion however, is made by | the Chronicle that Mr. Chamberlain has abandoned the frontal attack on Mir. Balfour in favor of an enveloping movement in an attempt to capture the party machinery.
 That Mir Chamberlain has no idea of abandoning tariff agitation is shown by his declaration of an intention to form his own parliamentary group. He also in his letter suggests that questions of soclal reform now arising will require large revenues, the raising of which may be indirectly connected with tar if policy This is regarded as bid for the support of the new labor party.

 --She Seems Determined This Time
 to Rid Herself of Boni-Report That
 He Has Entered n Counter Plea.
 Paris, Feb. 7.-Strong efforts continue to be made in behalf of the Castellane family to bring about the abandonment of the divorce suit begun by the Coun- tess Boni- de Castellane (formerly Anna Gould), but up to the present the de- sired result has not been achieved
 An attempt made to obtain the coun- tess assent to a judicial separation without an absolute divorce has alse been unsuccessful and probably the case will pursue the ordinary course coming up for hearing at no fixed date, but it is expected that it will be heard three weeks hence.
 According to the French law there is no further necessity for the defendant to appear unless the judge decides that his exidenee is essential. The pro- nouncement of a decree dissolves any contract relative to marriage settle. ments, each party resuming control oi their own property A divorced wom- an may not re-marry within ten months after a Judgment, while an appea against decision must be lodged with in six months.
 A report, which cannot be confirmed says that Count Boni has entered g counter plea, claiming heavy damages

TO Submit Plans for Four Big
 "Cruiser" Submarines.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 7.-Simon Lake, the inventor and builder of submarine boats, has arrived here to submit to the admiralty for it's approval the final plans for four big Lake "cruiser" sub marines which he is building for Rus sia. It is said that these boats will be of the largest tonnage of any of that type of construction. With the incor- poration of these craft and others which are being built in Russia, as well as several which are In course of con- struction in Germany Russia probably will take rank as second in the navies of the world with vessels of this style In addition to those in the Baltic divis- ion, there will be at least fifteen, in- cluding the five Lake boats which are now at Vladivostok, to which place they were sent by rail during the recent war to participate in the defense of that place in the expected siege.
 On account of the nature of Russia's naval problem for several years to come it is probable that the defense of the coasts and narrow seas of the country must devolve on small vessels. The ad- miralty is greatly interested in sub marine boats and is experimenting with German, French and American types, as well as with Russian notifications thereof.

 Minority to Vote Against Dominican
 Treaty Bitterly Assailed-Taunted
 With Being Party to the Adoption
 in a Previous Caucus of the Rule
 Binding Democratic Senators to Two.
 Thirds Rule.
 Washington, Feb. 7.-To-day, for the first time in many years, the senate chamber was made the scene of an ef- fort to administer party discipline to a member of that body, and the occus- renee was one of so many dramatic details that the many witnesses Will not soon forget 1t. MT. Patterson was the subject of the effort, and Mir. Bailey, to whom, in the absence of MT. German, democratic leadership is con- ceded, was the instrument of his party in the incident.
 The proceeding arose in Connection with the consideration of MT. Patter- stn's resolution of remonstrance against caucus action on treaties with foreign nations. The Colorado senator to-day called up his resolution imme- diately after the conclusion of the rou- tine morning business, and addressed the senate on it. The facts concerning the caucus proceedings of Saturday, and his withdrawal from the caucus were fresh in the minds of the senators. Mr. Patterson speech was in the main an elaboration of his resolutions, and he contended stoutly for the right of a senator to follow the dictates of his conscience rather than the demands of his party in all matters regarding which the two may be in conflict. It was not until after he had concluded that the proceedings took on an air of intensity and excitement.
 MT. Bailey as well as most of thu members of his party, had interpreted Mr. Pattersons resolution as a delib crate reflection upon the democratis caucus, and from the moment that MT Bailey arose he assumed an aggressive and somewhat taunting manner to wards the Colorado senator. His speecl was based upon the theory that ali sem ators are under obligation to obey con- science rather than caucus, but that ir NSitS oO tiiSy dhlo6OaliAS lilSIs party and should hold themselves responsible to their party, but the speech was nlort notable for it's arraignment of Mir Pat. terson for his@patsrse tt ii-.s j rss herence to any line of argument. MT Bailey charged the senator from Colo. rado with having been a party to the adoption in a previous caucus of the rule binding democratic senators to the two-thirds rule. This charge and MT Pattersonss response to it constituteds most dramatic incident, and the feel. ing throughout the senate chamber was very tense until the climax was passed
 MT, Patterson failed to recall the pro- | ceedings of the previous caucus, but MT. Bailey's colleague, Mir. Culberson wal prepared with a copy of those proceed. ings and when he had exhibited it MT Patterson said that he would not under. take to dispute the record. He was in. clined at first to charge complicity to disparage him before his colleagues iul the country, but afterward said that he was not so much concerned over this apparent inconsistency on his own part as he was over the effect that the springing of the matter would have up. on the main issue. which was to exhibit to the country the danger there Is in caucus distation.
