Washington, d. C.-"Cut loose,
now, and build the canal. The Amer
lean people want results on the 18TH
mus, as soon as they can be obtained
and want them. Dig, dig. Congress
and the people are behind us in our
efforts"
Within AZ hours after the compile
ton of the Panama canal legislation,
President Roosevelt will issue in eff
effect, the above order to Chairman
Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens.
The President Gratified.
The president expressed great graf
ification at the action of the senate
in supporting his plan for lock canal.
He has been convinced for several
days that the lock type would be
adopted. A careful canvass of the
senate had been made and he was
assured that there would be a safe
majority in favor of the lock type,
which he has advocated since the re-
port of the engineers commission was
received.
The Opposing Senators.
House that practically the same SEN
ators who voted against the lock ca
nal project also were opposed to the
Panama treaty, and so recorded their
votes.
The president regards the vote of
congress on the lock type of canal as
vote of confidence. Orders will be
issued in few days to push the work
as rapidly as possible, and it is an
nounced that before the summer is
far advanced as many men and as
much machinery as can be profitably
employed will be making the dirt fly,

Secretary Taft and Chairman
Shonts of the canal commission were
also greatly pleased at the outcome OF
the struggle in the senate. For the
past two weeks they have been ex
erting all their influence with indi
vidual senators to get them to favor
the lock type of canal.
Upon being advised of the result Of
the vote, Mr.. Shonts called on Secre
tary Taft, and began to discuss plans
for the prosecution of the work. II
was decided that the whole commits
sion should start for the isthmus al
an early moment and that Chief En-
gineer Stevens should accompany it
The steamer Panama will sail Thurs
day next from New York, and on il

A HISTORIC JOURNEY
CAESAR RODNEY'S GREAT HORSE.
BACK RIDE IN 177e.

How tho Declaration OF Indcpqnd-
ence Was Saved by q Vote In the
Session of the Provisional Congress
In Philadelphia.
1t happened OH that famous Fourth
Of July, 1T76, the day on which tho
American colonies wero declared free
and Independent states. If Caesar Rod
ney had not made his historic ride there
might not have been any free America
today.
The provisional congress was in ses-
sion at Philadelphia, each Of tho thir-
teen colonies having representatives
there. 1t was great congress, and q
momentous question was before the
distinguished body. The great charter
Of our freedom had been written by
Jefferson, and Benjamin Harrison, fa-
thcr and great-grandfather Of presl.
dents, had presented 1t to congress on
Monday, July I. What would tho Con-
tinontal congress do?
III order that our country should be
free and Independent the declaration
must be adopted. This could be done If
only the colonies were di, ided, and
there were some good men who did not
believe 1t best to take this step ut this
tlme. -Four Of the seven delegates Of
Pennsylvania were opposed to 1t, and,
Of tho two Delaware delegates present,
Thomas Mexican was in favor Of inde-
pendence, but George Read was op.
posed to the measure. Caesar Rodney,
the other member, was in tho southern
part Of bis state In the capacity Of n
brlgauicr general, organizing and drill
Ing troops for tho coming struggle,
Two Of tho opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded to absent
themselves, and thus the keystone
State would favor the declaration, but
tho vote Of Caesar Rodney was neccs
sary to carry the state Of Delaware.
\ messenger was dispatched In hot
haste to summon him to Philadelphia,
and then for four days the patriots
Of TO" talked and mancuvercd to de-
lay the final vote. On Thursday, July
4, congress was to vote on the mo-
mentous question.
On tho afternoon OF the 81 the
messenger found Caesar Rodney IN
