wealth viii not worship mammon. 1t may bring
to the pass when 1t may be necessary for us
men to unsheathe swords and once again go

William e Bruce, manager OF the Certigue
Mining and Dredging Company, OF this city. has
just returned from Tamaco Republic of ColOm-
bia. where he had thrilling experience during
the series OF earthquakes that shook that sec
tion Of South America on January 81 last.
Mr. Bruce was the only American that ISL
and at the time Of the earthquake. He declared
yesterday that he has not in years such
spectacle, at once interesting and terrible. Ac-
cording to the latest reports gathered by the
government when he left the republic ffty-two
families were destroyed He said the Quaking
OF the earth did less damage than the great
tidal wave that swept along the Pacific Coast
for two hundred miles. leaving only misery and
devastation in it's wake
Mr.. Bruce says the incoming OF the tidal wave
was one Of the grandest and at the same time
the most awe inspiring sights he had ever seen.
For nearly week after January 81 the people
did not go inside their houses. Nearly all of
them were battered and torn by the violent
trembling OF the earth In the business section
several of the houses were smashed to pieces
Hardly a building escaped damage.

B. R.T. And ASH CONTRACT
Dir. Wintcr Says Efforts We're
Made to Fulfil Requirements.

E. ". Winter president Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. gave out statement yesterday
explaining the relations between his company,
through the American Railway Traffic Company.
and the ash contract. He says:
So much has been publicly stated and misstated
concerning the relations of this company, through
the American Railway Traffic Company, 10 the ash
contract and the methods praCtised in handling
the work, that IT seems proper word should De
spoken with view, if possible, 10 putting the matter
right in the public mind II is a short story The
contract made by the city with n. Milton Kennedy.
to which the American Railway Traffic Company
succeeded, carried with il certain specifications sub
mitted by him, including among other things
print showing the character OF gathering stations
proposed TO be constructed. Very little attention
seems to have been given to the details Of this
plan; It in fact, entirely impTacticable, and
recognized later by the Street Cleaning Depart
ment also the condition in the contract pro-
viding for the handling Of all material night
Acting under what was advised and still under
stand TO be authority clearly resting with the Street
Cleaning Department, new plans for the thirteen
gathering stations were. prepared, each one being
adapted 70 the conditions peculiar % its lOca
uon, and all were formally approved by the Com
missioner and constructed accordingly. 1t being
found impossible to handle all OF the material
night, the method originally prescribed by the
tract was modified in that respect, also by the
authority From the beginning every effort has been
put forth to conform TO the requirements Of the
tract and those OF the Street Cleaning Department
regardless of peCuniary results, and far
know they have been successfully carried out.

PRODS LABOR AGENCIES.
Il gTicaIture Department Agent Says
Many Rain Immigrants.

c. W Iarnlon a confidential agent Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. has recently made an
investigation of the condition of the employment
agencies in New-York City. looking toward get
ting farm labor The conditions he reports
them, are scandalous. notwithstanding the city
is paying at the rate Of $4,000 a year to cor
rect just such conditions Mr. Larmon finds.
He reports that many agencies dealing par
tiCularly with immigrants simply hang on to
the as long they have a cent left, with
out attempting TO get them positions. Then
they throw them cut into the street. and this
notwithstanding there are now places for at
least fifty thousand men in agricultural pursuits
at good wages.
When it was proposed to put the supervision
Of employment agencies under an officer ap-
pointed by the state it developed that the De-
partment Of Agriculture had made its investi-
cations. In a letter answering an inquiry to
what the department had done and what had
been discovered Mr.. Larmon says:
There are in this state 226.72O farms which
employ l46,OOO laboTers at an annual outlay Of
S2iOOOUUO for wages. The number of labor
which several men employed. would leave
less than one for each two farms in the stale.
Reports received from the supervisors of the
state indicate that at least 50.0OO men can find
prontable employment as agTiculturists In the
state. The only source Of supply for these peo-
PIE is New-York City. and to secure a sufficient
writer has found 1t necessary to make frequent
trips TO that city for that purpose.
The immigrants arriving at Ellis Island who
nave no fixed destination induced largely to
apply Tor positions to the employment bureaus in
the city, and from personal observation il would
seem that no effCTt is made by many of these
agencies to secure employment for their clients
SO long as the said clients have means with
which to Pay them board and expenses.
As soon, however. their funds are ex-
hausted, and no opportunity Offering to secure
employment. they are turned into the street, to
become objects Of charity or dependent upon
their friends. The writer finds the condition of
many Of these places in Greenwich, Washington
carlisle and other streets extremely objection
apie, IN that they are wholly unfit in the matter
Of cleanliness, as well Objectionable IN the
associations surrounding them.
The writer has met with success in his
ventures 10 secure farm labOrers through these
agencies and it is his firm belief that the license
OF number OF them should be revoked and that
a careful system Of inspection should be in
augurated in order that those remaining should
provide suitable accommodations and give to
their clients such attention is necessary to
secure positions for them.

SUBWAY BLAME FIXED.
Chief Engineer Rice DiUides 1t Be
t7Ceen COmpany and Public.

George S. Rice, chief engineer OF the Rapid
Transit Commission, has made a preliminary
report to Controller Metz placing the blame for
the subway conditions partly on the company
and partly on the public At the last meeting Of
the commission a resolution was adopted call
ing for such a report and making Controller
Metz, c. :. Smith and Nj. Rice the committee
10 make the investigation.
ia his report Mr.. Rice says that he employed
forty men on March 1, and to look into the
management Of the subway service. The Inter-
borough officers furnished the official schedules.
The inspectors found that the schedules were
not maintained and that to a large extent there
was 10 evidence Of any attempt to maintain
them.
The general conclusions Mr.. Rice draws are
that the passengers do not distribute themselves
properly through the trains that there are not
sufficient cars during the rush hours; that
the Sunday Service should be increased and that
the express service should be maintained beyond
the present hours.
1t is believed that Controller Metz will insist
at the next meeting of the Rapid Transit Com
mission that the express service be continued
after midnight. That the Controller will COM
pei the company to carry out its schedule is
a foregone conclusion.

Nay BE CANAL DEADLOCK.
Work on LOck Plan Likely If Con-
greSs Does Not Decide.

Washington. March 17.-Members of the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals heard
with many misgivings the reported statement
bv Representative Hepburn that the House
Committee would not be willing to accept the
Senate hearings to determine the type of canal
to be constructed across the Isthmus of Panama
This is taken an indication that Congress
will not be able to agree on bill deciding the
type Of the waterway unless the present session
is long continued
If no bill is passed the appropriations commit
tees undoubtedly would report the amounts
necessary TO carry on the work until next ses-
sion. and the Canal Commission would proceed
with the construction Of a lock canal under
the plans advocated by the minority of the
board Of consulting engineers. President
Roosevelt in his message transmitting to Con-
gress the reports of the majority and the mi
norlty of the board. said that he favored the
latter which was for lock canal and that IL
the question were not determined by Congress
that type would be constructed This offers a
