TO compare Canal
With Estimates
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE OF
CONGRESS WILL VISIT
THE ISTHMUS.
Suggested by Tawney of Minnesota
Trip, Which VIII Start November
5, Is Expected to Result in Great
Benefit to the Service.

Washington, Aug. 26-An examina-
alton on the ground of the estimates
for the appropriations for continuing
work on the Panama canal submitted
by Secretary Taft for the fiscal year
1909 is to be made by members of the
next congress who will have tn charge
the preparation Of the sundry civil
bill, tn which the appropriation for
the canal ia incorporated.
The proposed visit is the outcome
of a suggestion from Representative
James A. Tawney. of Minnesota, chair
man Of the appropriations committee
In the last CT ,gress, who was at the
isthmus folh ding the adjournment
last March. He believes it will be to
the interests Of the service, as we'll
as to those directly and indirectly In
charge of the administration Of the
forces at work there, If the members
Of the appropriations committee hav
ing in charge the preparation of the
sundry civil bill 60 to the isthmus
with the estimates for the next fiscal
year and consider them carefully with
the officials having supervision Of ex-
penditures for all kinds of work be-
ing done.
Likely to Do Much Good.
The suggestion has met with
hearty response from those identified
with the commissions work, who be-
heve that great deal of good will
result from heart to heart talk be-
tween the congressman who prepare
the appropriation and the officials
who spend it, and that it will clear
away In advance any mtsapprehen-
slons or misunderstanding that may
exist as to the business and propriety
of alloting the money estimated to be
necessary for the years work.
OF particular Importance is the pro-
posed visit regarded at the present
time when the question is now before
the president whether the commission
can lawfully expend during the pres
ent fiscal year any more money than
was specifically appropriated. Col.
Goethats has reported to the authori-
ties in Washington that the work has
progressed 30 rapidly that 1t viii be in
the interest Of true economy to exceed
that amount to the extent of s8,O00.-

Ruskin's Bitter Criticism.

I'VE are always in these days en-
deavoring to separate intellect and
manual labor; we want one man to be
always thinking, and another to be al
ways working, and we call one a gen.
uemm and the other an operative;
whereas the workman ought often to
be thinking and the thinker often to
be working, and both should be gen.
tleman in the best sense AS it is, we
make both ungentle, the one envying,
the other despising his brother; and
the mass Of society is made up of NOR
bid thinkers and miserable workers."

Two FORMS OF
BILL OF LADING

Washington, D. c., Oct 15-That
uniform bill Of lading which it is
proposed to put into effect on all
railroads of the country on January
1, next, by the interstate commerce
commission is not satisfactory to the
commercial interests, and that two
separate bills of lading should be
adopted was pointed out at a hearing
of these interests before the inter-
state commerce today.
1t was the consensus of opinion of
the Representatives of the interests
heard that recommendation should
be made for the adoption by the com
mission of two distinct bills of lading
which should be uniform in charact- Z
err one to be known as straight
bill of lading, and another order
bill of lading. ST E 9.
One order" bill of lading, it was
explained, is negotiable instrument
upon which money can be loaned.
and straight bill of lading is an or
binary receipt which railroad COM
pany gives for consignment of goods.

the confusion caused by the explosion.
Cooler heads finally prevailed, and

Immediately following the- expIo-
sions the wreckage took fire and the
inhabitants of the town, who rushed
to rescue the mill employees, found
themselves powerless to aid those
burning in the ruins. s.
+ They worked frantically in constant
danger of succeeding explosions, I'M
mindful of their ruised homes. The
dead and dying were picked up and
collected. Eighteen bodies, horribly
burned and mangled, were carted to q
protected spot to await Identification,
while the badly injured, numbering
upwards of SO, were put on special
train and taken to Terra Haute for
hospital accommodations. H.,
The mills were located one mile
south of the town. With the first ex-
plosion the employees ran for. safety
but most of them were killed or wound
ed by the quick following explosions
in the other mills. ...s

mills exploded the giant powder maya
zine ninety minutes later, destroying

work were badly Injured and several
killed. Supt. Monahan of the plant,
was killed while sitting in his office,
and his wife and sister1fn-law We're
killed in their home some distance
away + ~ t. -
That the death list is not far great
ser is due to the fact that the people
of the town had left their houses at
the first explosion and were not in
them when the explosion Of forty
thousand kegs of powder in the maya
zine hurled their homes to pieces and
scattered their household goods in
heaps of debris, sS ps
Among the buildings totally des-
troyed in the town were the Methodist
and Christian churches, two school
buildings, depot, all business blocks,
a large warehouse, and 500 homes. IN
many of them the fronts were blown
away, while in others the roofs were
hurled into space, a side blown out
or they were left confused mass of
collapsed wreckage.
