INFLUENCED
 BY RAILROADS
In CanCeIing the Canal
 Contract
Contractor McDOnald's OpiniOn of the Presidents
 Order Against the Award.

Augusta. Ca. March I've are down and out" said J. E. McDon- ald. president of the Panama Con struction Company. in discussing the rejection of the bid of w J. Oliver for the construction Of the canal They have taken the matter off our hands. and it now rests with the pres ident. The responsibility should be placed where it belongs.
 "I cannot see why the bid should have been rejected except that it is due to the fer reaching machinations of political influences that have work ed against all bids that threaten the actual construction of the big canal. IL is hardly necessary to say these in tercsts are those of the ns-conti- mental railroads.
 "IJ is generally recognized that this agency was working to defeat the pro ieCt long before it eyer took tangihl" shape. You will notice that prac- tical men who hay" been identified with th" canal have been picked off by jho bis financial interests. It is not difficuit -p t~lcc the relations. This Is veT- poor business. however. for the canal is bound to come; if not during this administration. then an other T. is inevitable.
 "i cannot sea where the president and his associates are right. I do not sec how they will be able to build the canal Sooner or later the ditch will have to be dug under business like management Of a constructor who has figured the cost down to a mini mum. Our company is willing to per form every item of the agreement re- quired by the government. IL was our understanding that when the condi- tions imposed by the government were met the contract went to our com uany. We made every preparation at considerable expense and were pre- pared to begin shoveling dirt on or before the time limit of sixty days"
 Mcdonald does not believe there is anything in the report that oliver will enter suit against the government for his preliminary expenses of S+u.ooo in- cured iu making the bid

THE TIME TOO SHORT
 FOR SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
The Defeat of the Measure Conceded by
 lis Supporters
The Democratic Opposition In the Senate Early Yesterday Became SOlidified and Determined-NO Possibility of an Agreement.

: Washington March 2.-There will be Do ship subsidy legislation during the present session of congress. This fact was practically conceded by all when the senate supporters of the subsidy bill agreed late today to allow the sub jeCt to go over until Monday. The failure of the measure will be due to the opposition of the democratic sena- tors which was so pronounced as to cause them to filibUster more than an hour today.
 The position of democratic senators was made known to their republican colleagues early today. Several of them held an informal conference after deciding that the bill should not pass in it's present shape. and instructed their caucus leader. Senator Black burn to convey this information Co th. republican leaders. The republicans therefore were well aware of the plob- able fate of the bill. when at l.&0 o'clock Mr. Gallinger moved 60 concur in the house amendments.
 This motion was immediately met by a counter motion to postpone its con sideration until Monday. This was voted down, but various other motions. all dilaJory, were introduced by demo- cratic senators. and notwithstanding all were defeated, it was perfectly un- derstOod that a determined opposition at so late an hour in the session meant the ultimate defeat of the measure un- less some agreement could be reached.
 After this episoda a cessation of hos tiliJies until o'clock was secured. At that hour it was immediately apparent that no progress would be made toward harmony. Mir. Galling=r suggested - further postpOnement until Monday z- II o'clock and all agreed to this proposition.
 In the meantime there will be some effort to reach common ground, but no .ue hopes for success The principal

council. The sensation of the day was when Assistant District Attorney Quinn spoke in opposition to the bill. He made the statement that he was unwilling to trust the officials Of Coco nino county with the power which the bill put into their hands In reply to q question by Mir. Hampton he said that honest officers had not been elected at the last election whereupon Chairman Gregg of the board of supervisors Of Coconino who was sitting in the gall lery rose and said that MT. Quinn was a falsifier and that if he had the priv ilege of the floor he would have a few things to say himself.
 The debate continued until after six o'clock when the committee recOm- mended the passage of the bill and when the committee rose that was done. only three votes being cast against it.
 THE EARLIER HOUSE DAY.
 Three or four bills We're introduced into the house. One of them was No. 1i3 by Mir. Crenshaw and the measure was known as the governors bill amending the laws with respect to taxation especially of the mines. Tho governor had outlined this bill in his message of the day before
 NIT. Whitesides presented a bill pro- viding for the sale or property for de linquent taxes in cities and towns.
 The bill prohibiting peace officers from carrying fire arms or making an arrest while drunk was passed. Mir Whitesides alone opposed 1t. on the ground that it would deprive the terrl- tory of many efficient officers. In the opinion of Mir. Pace. AS dangerous an animal as runs in the woods Is a drunken constable.
 The bill creating a board for the eN- animation of physicians of the eye was passed. This bill is intended to exclude such practitioners as roamed over this community last year selling spectacles and peddling "radium."
 The house also passed the bill ln- creasing the salary of the public exam finer to 5000 a year. allowing him q clerk at S75 a month and providing q contingent fund of S14O0. The bill hal originally provided a salary of $500 for the public examiner. S1o0 month for his clerk and the contingent fund. This had been reduced in the council to S3OOo for the public examiner and the house committee had reduced with the consent of Mr. Foster the pay of the clerk to S75 a month.
 Attempts were made in vain In the committee of the whole yesterday to further amend the bill and it was passed and sent to the council where the change was cOncurred in and the measure made ready for the governor.

FEARS THE ASYLUM
 AND NOT THE CHAIR
Traw Understands That Death Is Not the Fate Jerome Is Trying to Pre- pare for Him.

New York. March 2-The Thaw trial Ou.e-s the seventh week on Mon day and it would seem that unless some radical change in the course of procedure occurs it will be about two weeks more and possibly three before the jury renders a verdict.
 Jerome has no intention of letting tHe case go to the jury if he can pos sibly prevent iJ. He would rather have the matter come before com mission Of Unacy. Jerome does not be- liyy. that Thdw is in a proper cOndi- tipn of mind to be on trial. The dis trict attorney especially had no taste for the cross examination of Evelyn Thaw
 Jerome realizes that he must be sure as his ground before asking for 9 commission and he probably will not take that step until some Of the states alienists have gone on the stand.
 Thaw seems apprehensive of his fate only as it relates to an asylum for the criminal insane. The thought of death in the chair, it is said. has not once entered his mind He has been in constant fear. however. that there might be conspiracy to rail road" him to the asylum.
 Within the last two days the de- fendant has called upon his attorneys for assurance that they will not en- ter into an agreement for the ap- pointment of 8 commission. They have promised to fight to the utmost to have his case reach the jury.
 Dr. Evans will go on the stand on Monday That will make his fourth day under cross examination. Eve lyn Thaw. Mrs. William Thaw and the Countess of Yarmouth visited the de fcndant in the TOmbs today
