This determination reached to-day at a con-
ference at the White House, in which, besides tue
President Secretary Taft, Chairman Shonts of the
Isthmian Canal Commission: John F. Stevens, chief
engineer of the canal, and Civil Service commas
sioner Cooley, took part.
For a year there has been good deal OF fric-
ton between the Canal Commission and the civil
Service Commission to the application or the
Civil Service laws and regulations to employees on
the canal construction work. Both Chairman
Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens maintained that
they ought 10 have authority to employ men whom
they needed without reference TO the Civil Service
rules In a measure they have exercisd that au-
thority Notwithstanding the protests Of the Civil

charges and cost of operation for the period

total earnings of the road for the transporta-
ton Of all kinds of traffic show an increase of

earnings increased $43. 691 and mail earnings de-
creased So 34. The total revenue from freight

| an increase Of 2673 per cent, and yielded
revenue of $1,306,145 an increase of 1898 per

The total earnings of the steamship lines of
the company for the ten months were S1165OoS

traffic increased 1929 per cent, the earnings
therefrom increasing 23.2S per cent The in

The Congress has placed in the hands Of the

argued that these appropriations have been emer,

these such as those growing out of wars with Eng.
land and Mexico. where Congress has guarded the
countrys purse strings.
Mr. German condemned the manner of making
appropriations for the various departments and
said that Congress should review all these. Con-
tinuing, he declared:

what is to be the outcome of the canal work or
what the expenditures are TO be; that no man

Mr. Hale agreed that Congress has fallen into
: bad habit of appropriating large sums without
closely regulating the manner of expenditure
out he declared that the President, in regard to
.anal work had followed the course prescribed
oy Congress in the Spooner Act, and had not
been at fault in any manner. He said that the
action of the President in counting investigation
showed he believed the time had arrived for
Congress to assume a part Of the responsibility
Mr. Hale spoke in favor of an inquiry by the
Isthrrian Canal Committee. He said the Spooner
Act conferred the power the President to do
all that had been done in canal affairs. but the
President had now referred the whole matter

sible they could have been written by
the genial comedian Of our day. Each
signature is evidently as old as the

One day, curious as to the ownership
of the little volume, submitted it to
the late Joseph Jefferson. He turned
the yellowed pages slowly and with
much interest, studying attentively the
autograph inscribed here and there

brought it with him when he came to
America in 1897. The playbills of those
days abounded in medley of short
pieces such as you find in this little
volume. What interests me most, how
ever, is the curious likeness l find in
the autograph of my grandfather to my
