through the darkness.
On came the shutting footsteps Of
the jailer and lantern bearer. They
had reached the door Of No. 1, had

but was nevertheless extremely indus
trious at 1t, although days and weeks
and, as they suspected, months passed
before the hands of the two friends
met in the center Of the rock. One
lucky circumstance that favored them
was the habit of the jailer In visiting
Drummond only one every four days.
The lieutenant made his difficult pas
sage, squeezing through the newly COM
pleted tunnel half an hour after a loaf
had been set upon his table. Jack
knew that the steamer had recently
departed, because two days before the
governor had sent for him and had ex-
hibited a quantity Of material recently
landed. among other things a number
Of electric bells and telephones which
the governor was going to have set
up between himself and the officers
and also between his room and that Of
the clerk and jailer. There were dry
batteries and primary batteries and
many odds and ends, which made Jack
almost sorry he was leaving the place.
Heavy steps, mufled by the thick
ness Of the door, sounded along the
outer passage.
"Ready" whispered Jack. Here
they come. Remember, il you miss

Drummond made no reply, for the
steps had come perilously near, and he
feared to be heard. Noiselessly he

GREAT BRITAIN
 NAMES DELEGATES
Representatives at The Hague Peace Conference to Be Announced
 In Few Days.

London April 13.-The delegates who will represent Great Britain at The Hague peace conference have beer selected and will be announced in a few days. Con sidering the prominent part Great Britain will take in the conference, in view of her proposals for the reduction of the expenditures on armaments, there Is lit tie public interest shown here in the approaching meeting
 This is largely due to the belief among public men that the discussion will have no result so far as the more important subjects are concerned, owing to the great divergence of opinion among the powers and the decision of several governments to abstain from participating in the dis cussion of any articles on the Russian programme, which they believe will not lecl to useful results.
 The same opinion is held to a certain extent in official circles here, but never theess, the British delegates will be instructed to bring up the question of the reduction of the expenditures on armaments.
 Great Britain is taking this step not because of tho belief that the powers will agree to reduce their armament, but because she believes the discussion will have good moral effect among the peoples of the various countries.

Burglar Gets Big Supply of Tobacco
 and Whisky.

Either sudden death by an internal mixture or eternal joy with sips of spark ling wine between puffs of cigarettes will be the fate of burglar who did business in Birmingham Friday night. It depends entirely upon how he uses the spells of his nights work.
 The fellow broke into Chamberlain's saloon at some hour during the night and made off with tobacco and liquor enough to last him a lifetime. Among other articles was whole box of Schnapps tobacco, a box of Liberty Bell, box of E Twist and five pounds of Dukes Mixture; six quarts of wine; eight quarts of Jeff Davis whisky, four quarts of Murray Hill and four quarts of Green River.
 The burglar entered through back door and got away undetected. The loss was reported to headquarters by Police men Byars and Smith.

STEVENS SAYS JOB
 WILL BE COMPLETED
RESIGNED CHIEF ENGINEER OF PANAMA CANAL REACHES NEW YORK-HE SAYS THE WORK IS PROGRESSING sPLENDlDLY.

l New York, April 13.-John F. Stevens who recently resigned as chief engineer ot the Panama canal. arrived here today or the steamer Panama from Colon. MT. Stevens declined to talk about the work on the isthmus. He will leave for Wash ington this afternoon. It is his present plan to take a long rest, including a trip to Europe, before again engaging in ac- tive work. MT. Stevens said he was greatly fattered by the send off given him by three thousand canal employees when he left Colon. T retired on the best of terms with my fellow employees he said.
 When MT. Stevens was asked about the story that had been published here to the effect that his resignation was due to a realization that the canal would never be completed, he replied:
 That's nonsense. The canal will be completed Just as sure as you are alive
 Asked as to whether he thought the canal eventually would be of the sea level type. he replled:
 Undoubtedly. in time.'
 Mr. Stevens said he resigned for pure ly personal reasons. The report that the canal will never be built because there was no rock foundation for it, caused MT. Stevens to say:
 Ut is all rot" adding, 'the founda- tions on the isthmus are as good as in New York City,
 will you see the President in Wash ington?" he was asked
 ''If he wants to see me, he will know 4s.. f4 1. z1,a .arf neer q have done my share of the work on the canal, and am willing that some one else should take a hand. The people of the United States should get the idea ont of their heads that the canal work is not progressing. It is going on splen didly."
 MT. Stevens said:
 "G was not asked to resign. On the con- trary. the highest position, authority and consequent responsibility, next to that of the Secretary of War, was not only of fered but turned upon me. l never had any clash with any of my superior of- ficers. and their attitude was always in support of my efforts.
 "The knowledge of and the connection of the Washington officials with work on the isthmus was too small to offer many chances for disagreement. I have never opposed doing the work by con
 
 in Washington and at other times since. advocated such policy, The plan of contract under which bids were received was formulated by myself July last, only one month after Congress had decided up- on the type of canal. l did oppose letting the contract to the Oliver syndi- cate for good reasons, but the statement that I have ever opposed the letting of any contract is false l did not cable or write Washington that I would resign if the contract was let
 ''The matter of contract had in no way anything to do with my leaving the ser vice of the canal commission. 1 made no suggestions as to leaving until knew the work was in such shape to leave. and that the organization, personnel, plant and system which have been evolved made up such a working machine that no fail ure or serious delay can occur with continuation of direct business methods"

PUPILS RECITAL
 AT ALLEN SCHOOL
Proficiency Shown By Children Who Have Been Under Instruction
 of Miss Young.

The pupils of Miss Mary C. Young gave [ musical recital last night at the Mar garet Allen school on Highland avenue. The unusual feature in connection with : the occasion was that almost all the der, and yet they played with an express : sion that showed how well they under stood the subject. Part l of the programm was performed by the junior pupils. Any attempt to draw distinctions between the style and manner of the children or their playing would be an impossible task the only feeling being one of admiration at the proficiency shown. Ht4
 Part of the programme was rendered by the advanced pupils, young ladies of 16 or whereabouts. Here again the same reasons hold good why any special men tion of any particular performer should not be made.
 The recital was given by the pupils to their parents and friends rather than to the public and at it's conclusion Miss Young was warmly congratulated, and her pupils highly compllmented, upon the success of the evenings entertainment Here is the programme:
