Contracts Now Ready.

1 understand that the contracts which are
now ready have been prepared after con-
sultation with the leading contracting firms
of the United States and many eminent
outside engineers, so as to secure a form of
contract that would adequately protect the
government and upon which, at the same
time. responsible persons would bid. do
not think that the time occupied in this has
been excessive, or that, especially in view
Of the fact that the work has been vigor-
ously prosecuted in the meanwhile. there is
any ground for imputing any delay what
ever to the managers of the canal construc-
ton. 1t seems to me to have been an adj
mirable combination of vigorous work In
the present with careful preparation for fu-
ture work.
;. The greatest danger in the way of canal
construction now seems to me to be lest the
really good and able men who are compe-
tent to handle it, and who can get profit
able employment anywhere. should be I'M
willing to continue in the service under in
discriminate Misrepresentation and abuse.
Faithfully yours.

Secretary Root, who spent two days on
the Isthmus of Panama on his return from
his trip to South America. has written a
letter to the President giving the results
of his observations of the work on the
canal. The amount of actual excavation
done and being done in and near Culebra
cut, Mr.. Root says, both gratified and
surprised him.
THE greatest danger in the way of canal

can get profitable employment elsewhere,
should be unwilling to continue In the
