MAY CHANGE CANAL LOCKS.
Commission Discussing Propriety of Max ing Them Longer-To Use Immense
 Quantity of Cement.

Washington, Aug. 31--Locks for the Panama canal probably will be built according to the dimensions re- commended by the majority of the consulting board of engineers which favored the construction of sea level waterway instead of the small CT type planned by the minority or the board. Under this change of pro- gramme the locks would be 100 feet wide, with usable lengths of 1000 feet. The plans adopted by congress provide for locks 95 feet wide with usable lengths of 900 feet With this exception, it is said, the minority plans will be followed
 Chief Engineer Stevens is com putting the additional amount of ce- ment which will have to be purchased for the changed plans. He said that to assemble the amount of cement needed would require 125 carloads a day for two years This would amount to 91,250 carloads. As the climate of the Isthmus of Panama is such that cement cannot be kept in good condition for more than three or four months. the problem of ship ping is of no little concern to the commission which points out that as the facilities for shipping from Eng land to the isthmus are better than from the United States, and as the foreign price frequently has been found to be below the domestic price it is not unlikely that the greater part of this gigantic contract may be given to foreign dealers.

Sir Francis Carruthers Gould, the
famous caricaturist of the Westmin-
ster Gazette, was born at Barnstaple
England, December 2, 1874. He was
a stock broker for many years before
becoming professional cartoonist.
At ten years Of age he caricatured
candidate at a local election and the
sketch was published. It was La
bouchiere who gave Sir Francis his
first introduction to the realm Of illus
trated journalism by publishing a SER
les OF his sketches in the Christmas
number of Truth. Mr.. Stead Of the
Pail Mall Gazette next sought his SER
vices When William Waldorf Aston
bought the Pail Mall Gazette and
transformed It into :. tory organ, the
cartoonist declined to remain In his
service. and betook himself to the
Westminster Gazette, whose politics
conceded with his own. There he be-
came a power. Lord Roseberry once
described Sir Francis as "one of the
most remarkable assets OF the Liberal
party" 1t has frequently been said
that his cartoons and clever skits have
won more votes than ever were gained
by the speeches of the most brilliant
orators.
