CAN'T CARRY COAL FOR FLEET
All American Bidders Retire From
the Competition Save One

Only one of the four American bid
deers for the contract Of carrying coal
to Admiral Evans feet in the Pacific
Ocean viii get contract. The Yfr-
ginian, of the American- Hawaiian
line, having capacity of 1000 tons,
has accepted at s. ton.
The vessel can afford 10 accept this
offer, il was explained, because she is
in the Hawaiian trade. The three
other American bidders declined for
one reason or other, but all Of them
In their correspondence expressed
their appreciation of the generous
offer Of the President to award them

above foreign bidders.
The Edgar >14uckenback Company Of
New York, wrote explaining that the
firm preferred TO retain its vessels
in the coastwise trade unless the Navy
Department would agree TO make
time charters. Admiral Cowles, OF
the Bureau of Equipment, explained
that the time charter was impossible,
as it would bring the cost Of the
coal up to Sl3 or $l5 a ton. The
New England Coal and Coke Company
simply explained that il could not
afford to carry the coal even at 80 per
cent. above the foreign business.
The Boston Tow boat Company wrote
that most Of its boats were now In
China and had not yet secured return
cargoes and the firm could not afford
to bring them here unless time char
ter could be given by the Government.
As result OF the declinatioDs
about % per cent. Of the contracts

is possible, however, that some Of
the American vessel owners may get
contracts later, as it was intimated
at the Department that the Presidents
offer might be held open for time.
The fleet will need coal at the rate
Of ~, 600 To IA, 900 tons month after
its arrival in the Pacific.

REFUSES TO RETRACT.
President Reiterates Statement About
Meyer and Haywood.

Washington, April 25.-President
Roosevelt, In response to the demands
of organized labor throughout the
country for retraction Of his state
ment that Moyer, Haywood and Debs.
labor leaders, are undesirable citizens,
wrote letter to Honore Jaxon In
which he not only reiterated the state
ment, but denounced them as men who
"habitually appear as guilty OF incite-
ment to or apology for bloodshed and
violence"
The president declares that Moyer
and Haywood represent as thorough
ly an undesirable type OF citizenship
as can be found In the country"
He says that he Is as profoundly
indierent to the condemnation OF the
rich class Of undesirable citizens as
the poor class and that he stands for q
square deal for every one. He de-
clares that 1t is highly improper to
endeavor to influence the course OF
justice and points out that the sta
tionery on which the complaint of the
Chicago labor leaders was written
shows that this organization is at
tempting to bring about the acquittal
Of Meyer and Haywood regardless OF
the question of guilt or innocence.

CANNOT BE IMPROVED.
Health Conditions on Canal Zone as
Good as They Ever VIII Be.

Washington, April 25.-Health con-
ditions on the canal zone are about as
good now as they ever will be. ac-
cording to a report from Colonel Cor
gas. chief sanitary officer, just re-
ceived at the offices of the isthmian
canal commission. Since August last
the number of sick among the en-
ployes has steadily decreased until 1t
is now 1910 men per 1000, as against
3372 in August. This, In the opinion
of Colonel Gorgas, Is an excellent sick
rate. Among 1900 American (white)
employees there were only two deaths
from disease during the month of
March, a rate of SIT per 1000. Among
1900 American women and children
living In the canal commission quar-
ters there were no deaths and very
little sickness of any kind, as has been
the rule in the past. The negro en-
ployes show the highest mortality and
the American whites the smallest. The
mortality from all causes for March
was: Negroes 1880, white employees
1859, American whites 1894 per 1000,

HIS IDENTITY WITHHELD.
Police After Leader Of New York Bond
Thieves.

New York, April 25.-William o.
Douglas, assistant loan clerk OF the
Trust Company of America, who is
charged with stealing bonds valued at
many thousands of dollars, and Oliver
NJ. bennett, broker, who, 1t Is al
legged, received the stolen securities,
were given hearing In the West Side
police court The officials of the trust
company, not content with the arrest
of these two men. are continuing their
detective work. They say they are
convinced that there was plot and
that there was somebody behind Doug
las In a scheme to defraud the COM
pany out of many hundreds Of thou
sands OF dollars. The identity of the
third man In the alleged plot was not
revealed. but the statement is made
that he is more prominent than either
OF the prisoners and that the prisoners
were probably his dupes.
The trust company has succeeded In
getting back all OF the bonds which
were found to have disappeared when
Douglas books were checked up last
Saturday. The amount paid out for
their recovery was $4,000 In ex-
PLANTATION OF this 1t was said that all
OF the bonds stolen from the Office of
the trust company, except those which
had been found In Dennett's bed OF
the Manhattan club, had been placed
with various brokers about Wall
street, innocent parties to the trans
actions, by way of margin for stock
transactions. To recover the original
bonds it was necessary to get orders
from bennett and Douglas to call back
all the collateral and to reimburse the
brokers holding such bonds for the
loss entailed to them by such action.
The total amount OF this reimburse
ment was $4,000.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Railroad Commissioner Believes II is
Certain to Come.

Certain to Come.
Milwaukee, April 25.-That the final
analysis of the railway rate problem
will be governmental ownership is the
belief of John Barnes, president OF
the Wisconsin railway commission.
Mr. Barnes, In an address before the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation, said he did not favor govern
mental ownership, as under this condi-
tion the roads would not be operated
either as we'll or as economically AZ
under private hands, but he feared
that 1t might come to that In the end.
There were, he said, two other meth.
DDS: First, to permit the roads to
run their business as they please, and,
second, to have the rates controlled
by the government The second he
believed to be the best for the coun-
try and 1t ought to be given fair
trial before the proposition Of govern
mental ownership was considered sert
ously.
Railroads, he said, were wholly
monopolistic In their tendencies and
were strengthening themselves con-
stantly and 1t was time for the gov
ernment to step in and fix rates. II
this should not succeed In restoring
fairness in rates then there would be
nothing left but governmental owner
ship, even though II had serious dis
advantages.

however, and when finally anxiety be-
gan to be felt for her safety the har-
Dor tug Johnston and the lifesaving
crew went out into the lake and spent
the night searching for some trace of

DEBATES CAUSE AGITATION
Russian Provincial Governors Urge
Dissolution Of Parliament.

ment Of the reactionists in favor OF
dissolution Of parliament on the
ground that the debates are causing
dangerous agitation and ferment.
This, 1t Is alleged, Is especially no
ticeable in the provinces, where the
agrarian disorders of 1866 occurred.
The panicky feeling among the Lib
erals as to the possibility Of dissolu-
tion of parliament has subsided owing
to the manner in which the emperor
received President GolOvtn recently.
The first executive session OF the
lower house OF parliament will be held
April 26, when. at the request Of the
minister Of war, the house will con-
slider the law fixing the number Of re-
cruits for 1907. This is an urgent
matter, as the law must be promul
gated by May IA.

Greater Freedom OF Speech to the
Radical Members.
st. Petersburg, April 25.-The con-
fdants of M. Golovin, president Of the
lower house of parliament, are very
reticent regarding the details of the
audience which he had with Emperor
Nicholas Tuesday, but 1t Is learned
that the discussion was frank and
unreserved. The emperor spoke his
mind freely and showed himself to be
surprisingly we'll posted on the trans
actions in parliament, which is ex-
planned by the fact that he reads all
the reports on the subject every night.
The emperor criticised M. Golovin's g
actions, questioning his impartiality in
allowing much more freedom to the
Radicals than to the Conservatives,
mentioning particularly several
speeches of M. Alexiensky, Social
Democrat, which his majesty said
should not have been permitted.
NJ Golovin, In his defense, pleaded
his difficult position as head Of Rad
lea! parliament at the present time.
Various features of the ministerial
programme were discussed, but there
was no hint of a dissolution Of par
lament and the difficulties between
Premier Stolypin and the lower house
were not mentioned. In the opinion
OF M. Golovin the reactionary cam
paign against parliament has not
made any headway with the emperor.
