The Commission WIN Not Wait Long for
Congress TO Decide on Type OF Canal.

WARRINGTON, March 5.-While there Is
still a chance that Congress may change its
mind and order the construction OF a sea
level canal across the Isthmus Of Panama
the Canal Commission is|going rapidly on
with it's work, with the intention Of follow
ing the lock project plans outlined by the
minority Of the Board of Consulting Engi-
neers and approved by the President,
Secretary Taft, Chief Engineer Stevens
and the commission. While this is being
done no steps will be taken which would
interfere with the working out of the plans
for a sea level structure in case Congress
80 orders. The President believes that the
lock plan, which has been adopted by the
commission, is substantially the kind Of
canal Congress had in view when the canal
law was passed two years ago.
1t is not expected that Congress will
advocate or direct that q sea level canal be
built. The Canal Commission will wait
for a reasonable period for Congress TO
alter its previous directions and will
then go ahead with the work. Detailed
plans Of the lock canal proposed by the
minority Of the Board of Consulting Engi-
neers have been printed, together with
maps, and these will be sent to all Of the
engineers and Others who will require them
in the work Of building the canal. Be-
sides this it is proposed to send copies of
the report, with the accompanying maps ,
to a number of libraries and variou engi-
neering societies and file the rest away
for future Use.

Senator TallaferrO Tries TO show That Hts
Bid Was Higher Than HudEins e. Dumas's.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate Com
mittee on Interocennio Canals to-day heard
j. +. Markle Of Omaha on his contract
for boarding Panama Canal employees.
Mr.. Taliaferro Of Florida was unwilling
that Mr., Markle should be excused until
he had been examined concerning the re-
suits obtained from comparing his bid
with the bid submitted by Hudgins 4 Dumas
Of New York.
The terms Of the contract with Mr.. Markle
showed, according to Mr., Taliaferro, that
had it been permitted to stand. Markle
would have been paid 1852 900 more in the
first year Of its operation than would nave
been paid to the other firm had it secured
the contract, and that at the end of five
years the difference would have amounted
to 1892, 900. These figures were based
on the assumption that all the employees
estimated by Chairman Shonts as now on
the lsthmus and those estimated by the
chairman to be there in the five years would
come within the provisions of the contract.
MIR. Markle shattered these estimates by
saying that only a small percentage of the
employees patronized the hotels. Mr..
Markle estimated that had his contract stood
he would have been feeding 900 persons
at the end of three years and be operating
only six hotels.
= At the conclusion of Markle's testimony
Senator Morgan of Alabama secured the
adoption of an amendment to the resolution
passed by the committee Saturday, which
permits him to recall William Nelson Crom-
well for examination at will.
Mr.. Morgan offered a resolution declar-
ing it to be the sense of the committee that
the payment made to j. f. Markle upon
the surrender Of his boarding contract was
Isthmian Canal or the Panama Railroad.
This resolution is pending and will be con-
sidered at a later meeting OF the committee.

SANCHEZ CONFERS WITH ROOT,
He wants to know the Policy OF This Cow
eminent Toward SantO Domingo.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Sehor j.. F.
Sanchez, formerly Minister of Foreign AZ
airs Of Santo Domingo, the faithful hench-
man Of ex-President Morales, and now an ex-
lie from his native land, together with Mo-
rales and others implicated in the recent re-
v~olution in Santo Doming 90. had a conference
with Secretary Of State Root to-day. Senior
Sanchez said that he had come to the State
Department to ascertain what would be the
policy Of this Government toward Santo
Domingo in the event of the failure of the
Dominican treaty, which is 10Y pending
before the Senate. He did not get much
satisfaction from Mr.. Root, who, according
to Senior Sanchez, said he did not know what
this country would do.
When asked what the Dominican Govern
ment would do il the treaty failed Of ratih-
cation, Senior Sanchez said that he did not
know, adding that just at present he is not
in a position to know the plans Of bis for
mer Government.
He said that President Morales is at San
Juan, P. r., and is rapidly improving
in health. During the recent revolution
President Morales fell of his horse and had
a leg broken. Sanchez says that the party
now in control in Santo Domingo drove
Morales from the Presidency and that the
ex-President had no desire to give up his
office.

CHALLENGE TO GRAND JURORS
UNUSUAL PROCEEDINGS BEFORE'
MUTUAL RESERVE TRIALS.

Counsel for the Company Permitted TO
Examine Men Drawn for the Grand
Jury as to Their PreJudlce-FOur Re
Jected-PrOceedings Not Objected To.
The members of the March Grand jury,
which was sworn in yesterday. were ex-
amined by William Rand, Jr., counsel for
the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany, before they were accepted. 1t ia the
first time in over a score Of years IL 1t has
ever been lone before, that Grand Jurors
have been examined before being sworn.
When Mr.. Rand was chief Of staff for Dis
trict Attorney Jerome he opposed motion
on the part Of John r. Dos Passos, counsel
| for Abe Hummel, for leave to examine the
jurors, and he won his point.
In yesterdays proceedings there was
no opposition by the District Attorney.
Mr.. Rand appeared before Judge O'Sulli-
van in General Sessions and filed an aft
davit in which there was a reference to
the investigation of the Mutual Reserve
by the February Grand Jury, and demand
ing the privilege to examine and challenge
each juror as to his illness to serve.
Assistant District Attorney Mott replied
that as no indictments had been found
Mr.. Rand's motion was not in order, but,
to prevent any charge that the Mutual
Reserve was being unfairly treated, there
would be no technical objection to Mr..
Rand's motion.
1t was made plain by Mr.. Rand's ques-
tons that the Grand Jury proceedings
connected with the investigation of the
Mutual Reserve will be directed against
Frederick A. Burnham, president Of the
company; his brother, George Burnham,
and George D.. Eldidge, .vioe-president.
Every juror was asked If he had a prejudice
against insurance companies or the way
the insurance business is conducted. They
were also asked il they knew the Burnhem
brothers or Mr.. Eldridge. Four men
were challenged either for having a preju-
dice against the insurance companies or
because they knew the parties interested.
All the jurors had opinions on insurance,
but said that wouldn't stop them from
giving the Mutual Reserve a fair hearing. !
One OF the questions asked by Mr.. Rand
was:
asuppose charges should be laid before |
