COLON. Dec. 4.--Up to last night ten

during the previous twenty-four hours.
The Chagres River has reached the
highest point ever known and is still
rising fast. Communication ana rsaflc
by way Of the Panama Railroad are

The inhabitants Of the villages north
of Bias Obispo necessarily will suffer
greatly from the flood, as it will be
impossible to get relief to them unless
the Chagres subsidies.
There has been no telegraphic COM

day. The Chagres has risen twenty
eight feet. The bridge at Matachin has
been carried out and this town Is un-

Work on the canal has been suspended

was not introduced for buncombe. My
purpose is to give the Congress of the
United States an opportunity to purge
the army of an admittedly dangerous
element. To say that the negroes are
brave is not an argument against this
measure.
Many men have been brave; in fact,
most men are in the matter OF fighting.
The Comanche and Sioux Indians
were as brave as men can be. But no
one would suggest that we ultimately
recruit regiments from them. put guns
in their hands and station them near
companies of white troops toward
which they entertain inherent race hos
tility. The Twenty-fifth Infantry is
manifestly imbued with the same race
hostility and events have shown IL to
be quite as dangerous as the Sioux or
Comanche Indians.
President Roosevelt made it appar-
ent to his senatorial callers today that
he is anxious for speedy action on the
congressional resolution calling for in
formation regarding the discharge of
negro soldiers of the Twenty-f1fth In
fantry for participating in the riot at
Brownsville, Texas.
AS soon as a resolution is adopted,
he told them, he will send the infor-
nation to the Senate. The President
said further that either the Penrose or
the Foraker resolution introduced in
the Senate yesterday will be acceptable
TO him.

BELGIUM To HOLD
GRIP ON CONGO

BRUSSELS. Dec. THE resumption
of the debate over the Congo indie
pendent State in the Chamber OF Dep
uties today gave opportunities Tor
various opposition parties to advocate
that Belgium permit of no delay In
taking over the administration of the
state. While the speakers aclSnowl-
edged King Leopold's splendid initia-
tive in developing the country they
deprecated exploitation by unscrupu-
lous capitalists to the detriment of the
natives and endangering of the moral
future.
The supporters of the Government
spoke strongly in favor of carrying
out King Leopold's plan. and declared
that the reported abuses and crimes in
the state were much exaggerated and
no worse than in other civilized lands.

TO Make Florida an Island.

"a canal of great Importance which
requires construction" writes Aus
tin Borrower in his article, Canals
We Must Dig" in the Technical
World Magazine, 'is across the
northern part of the peninsula OF
Florida. Such a canal would save
700 miles between New Orleans and
New York, and about the same dis
lance between our other Gulf and
Atlantic cities. Most vessels between
these ports must now go two days
ont of their way, and, when time IS
so important and the cost of sea
transportation SO great, this cannot be
forever endured. Florida is level,
and so can be cut without much diff
Guilty or expense; and there are
some streams which could be utilized
for part of the route.

Turbine Steamships.

The use of steam turbines has been
common for some time in stationary
plants and in small vessels.
Instead of the piston-and-valve ar
rangement which is the foundation
principle of the old-style steam en-
eines the turbine takes the steam
directly from the boiler into cyl1n-
der filled with fanged wings, and
the expansive force of the steam acts
against these flanges on much the
same principle as a turbine water
wheel. There is no alternating or
reciprocal motion, but constant rev.
olution at even pressure which can
he transmitted directly to the revolv-
ing screw.
The turbine principle saves fuel,
but it's greater advantages are in its
simplicity of operation, the reduction
of the machine parts required, the
direct transmission of power and the
freedom from vibration.
The transmission of power from
fuel to effective energy is still in its
infancy. No commercial device has
VET succeeded in utilizing even half
the theoretic power of coal. NeH
