$50, a4s, 900 FOR CANAL WORK.
Commission to Ask This Amount for
Next Fiscal Year.

Commission to Ask This Amount for
Next Fiscal Year.
Washington, May 2-The isthmian
canal commission met to-day and de-
cided to ask for an appropriation of
26,34S,2S1 to continue the construction
of the canal during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1907
These estimates are for lock canal,
and a letter from Chairman Shonts to
the secretary of war, written to accom-
pany the estimates, states that the eX-
listing law authorizes a lock canal, and,
in the absence of any other legislation,
the commission prepared estimates for
canal of that type.
The commissioners considered the re-
port of the army board of fortification
for the canal, but decided that no ac-
tion can be taken concerning fortifica-
tions until the type Of canal shall have
been determined.
Chairman Shonts' plan for having the
disbursing office on the isthmus and the
postoffices assume the duties which fell
upon bankers until the agreement
which recently expired was approved.
The commission authorized the con-
struction of such buildings as may be
necessary to furnish adequate places of
workshop for canal employees. 1t also
approved the PRONUNCIATION of rules and
regulations fixing water rates for the
city of Panama.

NO PERIOD OF HARD TIMES
FEAR FOR SAN FRANCISCO
UNFOUNDED.
Careful Estimate Made by Authorities
Competent to Speak Show That
within Next Year There VIII be More
Than s2OO,ooo,ooo Available for the
Rehabilitation Of the City.

San Francisco, May Am investiga-
tion to-day demonstrated that the fear
that San Francisco will suffer period
of hard times as an aftermath of the
fire is unfounded. Careful estimates
made by the authorities competent to
speak show that within the next year
there will be more than 100000, 900
available for the rehabilitation of San
Francisco.
The following figures make clear
where this sum is to originate: Invest
ment of new Geary street municipal
road, $94O,O00; Home Telephone compa-
ny expenditures, $1,OO0,00O; insurance
losses now due and payable( approx
mately), $1750OO,0 ,000 United railroad
new constructions, $9,0OO,OO0 city bonds
of 1904, sum still available $17OOOOOO;
Ocean Shore railway, approximated ex-
penditure here $1,0OO,OO0; restoration Of
Pacific State Telephone company ST.
100000; restoration of government
buildings, $4,000; building of sea wall,
$2,0O0,OO0 Total, $207, 100000.
1t is expected that a large part Of this
money will come from eastern and for
eign capitalists.
In figuring the two hundred and odd
millions which will be available the in
vestigators did not take into considera-
ton the sum that may be raised for
the Identification of the city.
A vexstious problem of placing the
new Chinatown will probably be set
tied to the satisfaction of the Chinese
colony. 1t is the desire of the munich
pality to do so.
The two weeks that elapsed since the
day of the earthquake have witnessed
transformation of choas to regular or
der. The uniburned region has been
nearly restored to it's normal condi-
tion, which housewives are glad to well
come.

HALFTON LOTTERY TICK ETS.
Seized by Secret Service officials in
New York.

Seized by Secret Service officials In
New York.
New York, May 2.--Secret service Of
ficials to-day seized one half ton of
lottery tickets and $2,5OO worth of steel
engraved printing plates in a ware
house in this city. The confiscated
goods were said by the officials to be
the property Of the Honduras National
Lottery company Of Puerto Cortez,
commonly called the Louisiana lottery.
The authorities said there would be ar
rests in connection with the sale of
tickets to the amount of $1,O00,O00 a
month in the United States.
The lottery effects found in the ware
house were traced here from Whining
ton. Del, where secret service officials
yesterday raided the litrographing
plant Of John M. Rogers, recently a
candidate for mayor of that city. A
warrant for Rogers arrest is now in
the hands of United States Harshal
Finn of Wilmington. In yesterdays
raid there two tons Of partly printed
tickets were secured and the plates
from which they had been struck off
and which could not be found in Will
mington were traced to New York.
There had been a hurried shipment of
this material to New York, the secret
service men charge.
The confiscation to-day was found to
be addressed to L. Dugan, 71S Seventh
avenue, this city, but had not been de-
livered. This Is the address Of a milli-
merry store.

RAMMED BY SUBMARINE.
Government Tug Compelled to Run for
the Shore.

Newport, May 2.-The government
tug Nina was rammed to-day by the
submarine torpedo boat Porpoise dur
ing manoeuvres in Coddington Cove,
and the tug was forced to run full
speed for the shore to escape sinking.
The submarine was making a number
of tests in Coddington Cove, five miles
above the city, in Narragansett Bay,
with the Nina acting as escort The
Porpoise, in coming to the surface at a
good speed, struck the Nina on the
starboard bow, below the waterline, and
stove a small hole few feet from the
bow. The forward compartment filed
with water, but Chief Boatswain Sui
livan, who was commanding the tug,
swung her round and headed for the
shore, at the same time ringing for full
speed. The tugs bow was well down
when she grounded on the sandy beach.
The Porpoise was not injured.

TURKEY MUST WITHDRAW
Unless She Quickly Recalls Troops
England VIII Act.

London, May 2.-"Unless Turkey
quickly withdraws her troops from
Tabah, Great Britain will take action
which will bring the sultan to his
senses" said an official of the foreign
office to-day,
Thus far England has shown extreme
patience, listened quietly to the conten-
tions of the Turkish ambassador that
the district occupied belongs to the sui
tan's empire, but insisting that the
troops must be withdrawn before the
boundary question is discussed. What
action is contemplated is known only
in inner circles, but probably it will be
in the nature ia demonstration by the
British Mediterranean fleet at Turkish
ports.

OPERATORS ISSUE STATEMENT
Their View of the Negotiations--Wisll

Their View OF tne NeEOt1attons--W1sh
to Prevent Misunderstanding.
New York, May 2.-Anticipating the
convention of miners which will meet
at Scranton, Pa, tomorrow, the an
thracite coal operators have issued a
statement outlining their view of the
negotiations in the anthracite field up
to date. The object of the statement
according to it's Introductory paragraph
IS ito prevent misunderstanding of the
situation which has led to the conven-
ton Of miners at Scranton to-day" 1t
declares that in the summer of 1905 the
leaders of the United Mine Workers
found their organization rapidly dwin-
ding; that, having obtained large
wage increase as a result of the ar
bitration award of the commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt in 1902,
the men apparently saw no reason to
continue to pay union dues. 1t adds
that on June l last the total union
membership was $3.50 out of some l7O,-
900 employees. President Mitchells tour
of the districts, which, the statement
says, resulted in increasing the union
membership to SO,4S7. is reviewed, and
portions of some of the miners leaders
addresses are quoted.
Backed by the results of this cam
paign," the statement continues, and
disregarding the fact that the anthra-
cite commission had settled the funda-
mental principles which should govern
the relations between the operators and
their employees, the miners representa-
tives came forward on March 1 with an
extraordinary list Of new demands The
operators took the position, which they
have consistently maintained since,
that on all questions which have been
definitely settled by the coal commits
sion It's findings should be continued.
Then, the statement declares, there De-
gan the playing of one industry against
another. Mr.. Mitchell went to lndian-

EXPERIMENTS in DIETING
VALUABLE RESULTS OBTAINED
By PROFESSOR FISHER.

Yale Graduates Used for the Tests-No
Dieting Course Prescribed but Men
Had Own ChOice-They Decreased
Food Consumed 10 per cent. and Flesh
Foods 40 per cent.--This without In
tention by ExperlmentOrs and In
stinctively-Strength Tests Showed
Improvement of IL to 100 per cent.
Professor Irving Fisher, professor Of
political economy of Yale university,
has concluded an experiment testing
the relation of endurance to diet, and
last night published the first statement
of the result. A team of nine Yale
graduates were selected for the expert
ment, and were given one test imme-
diately after the Christmas holidays,
when they were fresh from vacations,
and another after term of hard work
so that the experiment could be seen
to an advantage under both conditions
The result has been that by thorough
rnastication of the food, and by follow
ing the dictates of his appetite, the en-
during qualities of the men have in
creased over fifty per cent. The expert
ment has covered a period Of ten weeks,
and has been along the lines of Pro-
fessor Chittenden's plan
The squad began the experiment in
January. 1t consisted simply In trying
to find and be guided by truer food
instinct than most persons have. No
attempt was made to prescribe a diet,
or forcibly alter the quantity or the
proportions of the food. The mon were
simply asked to follow the plan of Mr.
Horace Fletcher, In eating slowly and
thoroughly masticating every rnorsel of
food, giving special attention to his
taste, and to following implicitly the
appetite as to quantity. BY the in
creased time and attention paid to the
taste the experimenter Is enable to bet
ter decide what and how much to take.
Nothing was set before the men until
they had chosen it. A large variety
of foods was kept at all times to al
low wide range of choice in this re-
spect.
A record was kept of the food con-
sumed by each man each day. This
was done without the necessity of
scales at the table, all the weighing be
ing done in the kitchen. The proper
tions Of fats, starches and sugars and
