TAFT REFUSES
To Order the Limiting Of Canal Pur-
chases to American Products.

Washington, May u.-Sec. Taft has
refused to assume the responsibility
for an order requiring the canal COM
mission TO buy only American goods
and as Il result of his stand it is likely
that resolutions Will be introduced in
Congress limiting the purchases of the
commission to Amcri, an markets.
Senators Dick and -tnkenny and a
number of other prominent Republi-
cans in the Senate have urged the COM
mission to abandon the idea of buying
in the open market but Sec. Taft and
the members of the commission have
not felt that they could read any such
+, S,riction on purchases into the pres
cnt law regulating the commission and
suggested that commissions should
have especially limited buying to Am
elican goods if any such provision is
desired.
Since the purchase of 10000 barrels
Of English cement by the commission,
there has been much agitation for the
protection of American manufacturers
The cement was purchased for 81 cents
less PER barrel than American manu-
lectures offered to supply it for but it
was maintained by American cement in
tarests that the shipping conditions
stipulated by the commission was re-
spGrsihle for the high price set by
American mills. Because Of lack of
storage facilities on the iSthmus, the
| commission stated in its specifications
| that the cement was to be delivered in
small quantities as needed.
Members of the commission are anX-
| iOus to avoid conditions which might On

Capital Jottinas.

The navy department was advised
Friday that Secretary Bonaparte was
able to go to his county home near
Baltimore Thursday and will proba bly,
resume his duties at the navy depart
ment next week.
The navy department has postponed
the date for the opening Of bids for the
construction of the hattleship South
ond to the 23d of June. This was ne
CcsSitated for the reason that because
OF mail conditions the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco did not receive
the plans and specifications i'm time to
forward their bids.
Demand being made by the House
committee on appropriations for the
estimates for work on the Panama can
al to carry on the work during the
next fiscal year, Secretary Taft has ex-
planned to the committee that il will be
impossible to submit detailed estimates
until the arrival here of Chief Engineer
Stevens, who is now on his way from
the isthmus. The total to be asked
for is said to aggregate $26.000D00. The
committee is to include this appropri-
alton bill which is now being complied
In the Senate Friday Il message from
the President vetoing the bill permit
ting pleasure yachts to carry kerosene
for their launches was read. The Pres
ident's objections were based upon
typographical errors in the bill and not
to the subject matter. AS soon as the
reading of the message has been COM
pleted. Senator Frye moved the refer
ence of the message to the committee
afterwards presented a new bill cor
recting the errors in the old one which
was passed without objection.
The insular bureau of the war depart
ment has been informed that no less
than so American railroad engineers are
on board the Minnesota which sailed
from Seattle on April %. on the way to
the Philippines. They have been en-
ployed by J. G. White & Co. to con-
struct railroads in the islands Of Cebu,
Negroes and Panay under the contract
or franchise entered into with the Phil
ippires commission a few months ago.
The engineers are mostly young men
graduated from the best technical
schools of the country but there are
among the number many older men eX-
perienced in railroad construction.
The Senate committee on interstate
commerce Friday adopted several
amendments to the employers liability
bill. Its application was made to COW
err all common carriers, instead of rail-
roads only, as provided by the House
bill. The contributory negligence pro-
vision was amended so as to relieve
the employer from liability when the
accident is caused wholly by the en-
ployes negligence or to accidents where
two or more persons, of equal authori-
