Small Palamas.

1t is the pajama age, and not alone
for grownups, but for the small folks
as well. Mothers find them very prac-
teal for little girls and boys because
they are warmer than nightgowns and
can't be so easily kicked OF on cool
nights. A suit of pajamas are very sim
ply made and yet quite attractive. The
upper part has seams under the arms
and on the shoulders and then buttons
up snugly to the throat. They may
be made of Bingham, madras or outing
flannel, and a plain cotton or wool
braid makes a pretty finish for the
edge of neck and front. For the me-
dunn size four and one-quarter yards
of thirty-six-inch material are needed.

Now It,s the Emnire.

The empire style is good deal to the
fore in lingeries just now. 1t is espe-
cially noticeable in night gowns, many
of which have the characteristic EN-
pire feature, which may be called with
equal variety the long yoke or the
short waist. 1t is much used in the
finest grade of night robes, and in fact,
in the daintiest of all lingerie. Ere
quently the short waist or yoke is en-
tirely of lace or embroidery. Low
necks and short or elbow sleeves char
acterize all fine underwear at present.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Aug. 13.-Chairman
Shonts of the Isthmian Canal commission
said after a visit to the president at Saga
more Hill today, that he had given the
president a report up to date of the progress
of the canal work in Panama. The ques-
tion Of most Importance now confronting
the commission, he said. was that of OBJ
tanning labor.
I'VE shall advertise at once for 2,5oo
Chinese laborers in China" he said. ''and
give laborers of that nationality a thor
ough trial at the work. 1t has been repre-
sented to us that they will be more satis-
factory than any class of laborers we have
yet tried.
THE Jamaica negroes whom we have
given an extensive trial have not proved
satisfactory. The Spanish laborers whom
we are working now to a great extent are
very much better than the Jamaica negroes
We shall endeavor 20 s3avg laborers OF as
many nationalities as we can get to work
on the canal, as II is better than having
a large force of one nationality"
Chairman Shonts said that the new steam
shovels ordered some time ago were ar
riving on the isthmus and were being i'm

out of Cuebra cut so rapidly that great
difficulty was being found in disposing Of it.

There has been endless speculation on

Of the monarchs. The Pail Mall Gazette
says that recently an autograph letter from
Emperor Nicholas to King Edward was
brought by special messenger to the Rus

king personally by the ambassador, and
that at the same time other personal let
ters from the Russian empress were re-
ceived by relatives in this country. The
Russian emperor's letter to the king is

GoMPERS REPLIES TO sHoNTS
Labor Leader Again Says Chairman
PrOmissd Not TO Use Chinese
Labor on Canal.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. Aug. lS.-President
Gompers OF the American Federation of
Labor In an authorized statement today
takes Issue with Chairman Shonts OF the
Isthmian Canal commission on some of the
latter's statements as to the employment
of coolie labor in the construction Of the
Panama canal Mr.. Gompers character
izes as an absuriity the contention OF
Chairman Shonts that the law with respect
to the exclusion of Chinese is only appl-
cable to territory at that time subject TO
the authority OF the United States and that
the canal was acquired subsequent TO that
date.
There is no such provision. says Mr..
Gompers. in the law referred to. and he cites
the various publications OF law in this
connection
Mr. Gompers declares that neither he nor
James o'Connell. president OF the Interna-
tionsl Association OF Machinists, who Wis
tied Mr.. Shonts were able TO persuade him
from his position on the eight-hour ques-
tion. and they devoted little attention TO
the subject of Chinese coolies because he
says Mr.. Shonts emphatically declared II
was not his intention TO employ them.
The charge is specifically made by Mr..
Gompers that Chairman shonts had suf-
icient influence with congress to secure
the annulment OF not only the eight-hour
law. but the eight-hour principle in the
construction OF the Panama canal" The
future, he says. will determine the judg-
ment OF the people Of our country upon
that subject"
