NAVY YARD WAGES.
Believed That Secretary Metcalf Will
Approve the Proposed Scala

IL was stated at the Navy Department TO-
DAY that Secretary Metcalf had not vet
completed his consideration of the proposed
wage scale for the employees of the wash
ington navy yard for the calendar year 1907.
out would do so in a few days At the same
time the Secretary is considering the uues-
uon or next years wages of employees at
all the other navy yards and stations of the
United States. not only those in this coun-
try but those in Cuba and in the Philip
pines. An important labor principle is In
Volved, and the Secretary is endeavoring
10 reconcile the wages of labor at the va
rious naval stations SO as to avoid even an
appearance of favoritism or discrimination.
The new scale for the Washington yard
was prepared by the regular labor board Of
the yard, of which Capt. McCrea is chair
man, and shows an average increase of 10
per cent in the pay of the different classes
of employees. Similar scales of wages have
been received from labor boards at other
yards, and the rates proposed, 1t is said,
are by no means uniform. The new rates
as approved by the Secretary Of the Navy
Will take effect on the first of the year re-
gardless of the time of action in the mat
ter. 1t is expected that Secretary Metcalf
will be prepared to announce his action
before the close OF the present week, and
there Is no reason to doubt that he will
approve the wage scale proposed for the
Washington yard.

SPENT VAST SUMS.
Financiers Wonder Is His Successor
Will Follow Suit

NEW YORK December 31.-Alexander j..
Cassatt. whose sudden death brings promi-
nently forward the question of the future
manage of the Pennsylvania railroad.
was regarded as the prime mover in that
roads policy of expansion and in the high
financial operations which that policy made
necessary. Mr.. Cassatt was the first head Of
great railroad system that undertook
stock issues on the scale that has recently
been made familiar by the high increases in
the stocks of a number of the western
roads.
The interest of the financial community in
the question of Mr.. CasSatt's successor lies
not so much in the individuality of the
roads new president as in the policy which
he may adopt toward the plans which have
already been outlined as well as toward the
future development Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. To much that was undertaken un-
der Mr.. Cassatts guidance the road Is, Of
course SO far committed that 1t cannot
abandon the work, whatever might be the
individual policy of the new president.
This is true of the New York city ter
minal which is by far the most important
improvement that has been undertaken by
the road. Yet even in this undertaking 1t is
believed that important modification might
be brought about should the new president
differ with the attitude that was taken by
Mr.. CaSSatt. One of the most frequent COM
ments heard on the gigantic Improvement
schemes which were fathered by President
Cassatt was that 1t took a man of great
courage to attempt 30 much and to spend
not tens of millions but hundreds of mil
lions, as the Pennsylvania did spend under
the late presidents regime
1t is from the point of view of possible
modification Of these improvement plans,
some as yet barely begun that the financial
community is likely to watch with great
interest the choice Of a new head for the
country's leading railroad.

CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES.
Senate Subcommittee on Appropria-
lions Favors Increase.

The sub committee of the Senate commit
tee on appropriations, which for the past
week has been considering the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
with view to getting 1t in shape for the
full committee. has considered the question
of increasing the salaries Of senators and
members Of the House Of Representatives,
and while no unalterable program has been
agreed upon, 1t now seems probable that the
sub committee Will recommend an advance
of 90 per cent on congressional salaries.
The sub committee is practically unanimous
in the opinion that such an increase should
be made, but there is a general feeling that
the House should have inserted the pro-
vision. 1t also looks as II the committee
would recommend that the provisions for in
creasing the salaries Of the Vice President
the Speaker and cabinet officers should be
eliminated unless a corresponding increase
shall be secured for senators and repre-
sentatives. Many members Of the commit
tee express the opinion that the Senate
should be given an opportunity to pass upon
the subject, and will advocate the incor-
poration of an amendment in the bill by the
committee covering the entire subject.

EXPORTS TO PANAMA.
Growth From $4,000, 900 to Over
$4,000. 900 in Two Years

The remarkable growth in the export
trade of the United States with Panama
within the past two years is shown in a
statement just issued by the bureau of sta
tistics of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. From a little more than 81, 500 600
in exports to Panama two years ago, Ameri-
can trade with that country for the present
year will show an export trade aggregat-
ing more than 100000 1t is shown that
for the eleven months ending with Novem-
Der the export trade amounted to 1850
81, and the figures for the single month
Of November totaled s1,273, 5O7.
These figures cover only the exports to
Panama sent in merchant vessels and do
not include that sent by government trans
ports naval vessels. What proportion
of this export trade is intended for gov
eminent consumption cannot be determined
at present, it Is stated, but considerable
part of the merchandise is doubtless in
tended for use by the government in the
construction of the canal or upon the
Panama railroad.
The exports from Panama into the United
States will have aggregated nearly a mil
lion dollars at the close of the present
year.

Woman in Role of Footpad.

A feminine "highwayman" is the latest
catch of the police of Washington, accord
ing to the testimony that was produced
in the Police Court this morning. Lula
Harris, colored, residing in Knox alley
northwest, was charged with making an
assault on Albert Wood, and the testimony
brought out the details of plot to hold up
Wood and obtain so cents from him. Judge
Mullowny found Lula guilty of the assault
and ordered her to pay $40 fine or spend
sixty days behind the bars.
Wood was passing along Marble Hall
alley northwest last night and when he
reached a dark place in the alley he was
accosted by woman. She grasped him by
the lapel of the coat, causing him to halt.

ed. fiercely. IF you dent come up I will

Wood was frightened. but he pushed the
bold "highwaymano aside and ran for the

perience to Policeman Beauregard and the
