WILLING TO TRY CHINESE ON CANAL
Secretary Of War Taft Suggests Or'en-
tai Labor for Work on the
Panama Construction.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26.-
Secretary of War Taft continued his
testimony before the committee on in
ter-oceanic canals, discussing the re-
lations of William Nelson Cromwell
in canal matters and the circumstances
leading to the severance of former
Chief Engineer John Findley Wallace
from the canal service.
Concerning Mr. Cromwell, the secre-
tary said the impression sought to be
given that the New York lawyer had
attempted to interfere in canal matters
or to exercise great influence in con-
trolling the policies to be pursued, was
wholly unfounded.
WaIIace's "Desertion."
Regarding Mr.. Wallace, several let
tiers never before made public, which
passed between the secretary and Gov
ernor Magoon, were submitted in sup
port of the secretay's charging that
Mr.. Wallace deserted the government
when crisis was at hand and that
his leaving might have meant disas-
ter"
Secretary Taft said tropical negro
labor would have to be relied upon in
building the canal, although he ex-
pressed a willingness to try Chinese
if it could be done within the law.
The canal ought to be built by con-
tract, the secretary said, but If bids
were opened now the result would be
much higher prices because of the
element of risk due to lack Of knowl'
edge which would enter into the fixing
of every bid.

sAFE BACK FROM cLovDLANp.

 full Sky Pilots.

Dr. Thomas and His Brother Success ful Sky Pilots. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Safe back from cloudland in his big balloon, pr. Julian F. Thomas, amateur areonaut, landed at the little, hamlet of Oakland Valley, Sullivan county, N. Y.
 Although the voyage of the huge air ship had been brimful of thrilling ex- periences, both the doctor and his brother, Jefferson Davis Thomas the only passengers in the little wicker car seemed to have enjoyed themselves hugely.
 They had swept over farmhouses in the dead of night, drawing howls of terror from the simple minded country folk; they had narrowly missed death in plunge among the big trees of a Sullivan county forest and had come within an inch of carrying away the mast of schooner.
 All this and much more had fallen to their lot since the balloon left her anchorage in New York on Saturday evening and swept westward over the watching city.
 According to Dr. Thomas, the scien- tiflc results of the voyage have been most valuable His new steering pro peller worked like n charm, while by another little device of his own inver- tion he was able to keep track of the balloons direction in the thickest fog.
 "This hes never been accomplished before.' explained the doctor, with pardonable pride, land my device will do much to advance ballooning."
