report of the isthnlian canal commits
sion thereon, together with letter
written to the chairman of the 18th,
milan canal commission by Chief Engi-
neer Stevens. Both the board of con-
sulting engineers and the canal COM
mission divide in the report. The
majority of the board of consulting
engineers, eight in number, including
the i've foreign engineers, favor a sea
level canal; and one member Of the
canal commission, Admiral Endicott,
takes the same view. Five. Of the eight
American members of the board Of
consulting engineers and five mem
bers Of the isthmian canal commission
favor the lock canal and so does Chief
Engineer Stevens. The secretary of

Menace to Community

Cincinnati, Feb. 20.-A formal and
sensational reply to the statements;
made by Judge Littleford in dismiss
Ing z all elections ed vEegistaatien frassa
Indictments WIS submitted to the
judge during the day by the honest
election committee, whose methods
had been criticised from the bench.
The committee expresses the belief
that it, should not be blamed for any
lack OF evidence which may have de-
Veloped in the trial in the cases it
brought to the attention of the prose
cutor and points to the fact that in
aietments were returned in more than
fifty of the cases with the knowledge
Of the prosecutor, as proof of the right
eousness of the recommendations to
that arm of the court. The reply con.
cludes:
Your statements, which you DELHI
erately wrote out and intended to be
published and scattered broadcast, are
a libel upon this committee. Your
apparent intention was to insult and
degrade the committee and to destroy
its power and influence; in the conf
munity by leading the public to be-
lieve that its professions We're fraud
and its work an outrage.
Your conduct and language show
that you are the most dangerous OBJ
stacle we have thus far encountered
in our attempt to purify the elections
In this community"

The absence of Queen Alexandra, the

500 Lock Canal a Success.

sz 500 Lock Canal a Success.
Y ut will be noticed that the Amer
lean engineers on the consulting board
and on the commission BY more than
two to one mai Of FAVOR the lock
canal, whereas the oreign engineers
are q unit against it, think this is
partly to be explained by the tact that
the great traffic canal of the old world
is the Suez canals sea level cana,
whereas the great traffic canal Of the
new world is the sault Ste. Marie
canal, lock canal. Although the lat
ter, the 500. is closed to navigation
during the winter months it carries
annually three times the traffic of the
Suez canal. In my judgment the very
able argument Of the majority of the
board of consulting engineers is viii
ated by their failure to pay proper
heed DO the lessons taught by the con-
struction and operation of the SEQ
canal. Each type has certain disad-
vantages and certain advantages. But
in my judgment the disadvantages are
fewer and the advantages very much
greater in the case of lock canal
substantially as proposed In the pa.
pers forwarded herewith; and call
especial attention to the fact that the
chief engineer, who will be mainly re-
sponsible for the success of this
mighty engineering feat and who has
therefore peculiar personal interest
in Judging Alright, is emphatically and
earnestly in favor Of the lock canal
project and against the sea level
project" 49, "a

ss % In Demands. 81. =
New York, Feb. 20.-President Nit.
chell has announced that it would be
several days before the committee now
drafting the demands to be made of
the anthracite mine operators would
complete its work and meet the COM
mittee Of the operators. He also said
that no information as to the nature of
the demands would be diyulged before
they are presented TO the operators.
The demand for complete recogni-
ton of the Mine Workers union, in
other words, the employment OF only
union men, will not be embodied in the
document, as it was not opened at the
conference with the operators. It is
now understood that the miners COM
mittee will make no actual demands.
The document to be presented to the
operators committee will take the
form Of declaration of grievances,
for which adjustment is desired" The
miners committee hopes by this
means to avoid an abrupt breach Of
negotiations with the operators and
leave the differences discovered to ex-
LIST between themselves and the oper-
ators open to arbitration. both sides
are apparently anxious TO avoid a
strike, though neither Is willing to
avoid such an Issue at all costs.
The chief features Of the document
now being drafted by the miners com,
mittee will undoubtedly be the Qales-
lion of an eight-hour day for all mine
employees, both inside and outside men.

editorial from The Evening Journal, Of
Richmond, Va, advocating the Little
field bill. now pending in congress,
which repeats the federal compulsory
pilotage laws and provides that all
coastwise sailing vessels shall be in
command of masters who have stood
examination and been licensed by a
United States commissioner, just as
is now the law in the case of steamers
doing coastwise trade. The editorial
shows how the present system of al
lowing pilots to license vessels to en-
ter a port without a pilot on the pay
ment Of an annual fee is worked under
compulsory pilotage.
