 BID TO COMMISSION
(Continued from First Page.)

Asked as to how soon he would be able to begin operations in the event that he was awarded the contract MT. Oliver said that he could not say but that it would act with all facility.
 Regarding the question of labor he felt no uneasiness, he said. We will be able to get all the men we want. The sanitary conditions on the isthmus are well nigh perfect and laborers will not hesitate to go there on that ac- count Incidentally, MT Oliver paid a high compliment to Colonel Gorgas, United States army, chief sanitary off cer of the canal zone, for the work done by him ridding the isthmus of all in- fectious diseases and placing it in a thorough sanitary condition.
 Richard Rogers, general counsel for the isthmian canal commission. to- night made public the names of those constituting the board of directors and a list of stockholders of the Panama Construction company. The directors are w. J, Oliver, Knoxville, Tenn. {;

HAYDEN TOWN MEETING.
THREE MATTERS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE SETTLED.

Selectmen Authorized to Sell old Dun
 bar School and hand-TOwn to be Dl- vided Into Five Voting Districts
 Committee Appointed to Lay Out
 Disfrlcts-selectmen Authorized to
 Join With Representative in Effort to
 Stop New Haven From Buying
 Highwood.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the town of Hamden held yesterday afternoon in the Centerville town hall three important matters outside the regular routine business were transact ed.
 The selectmen were authorized to sell the old Durham school and property. Who will buy the property is not yet certain, but there are several people who wish to buy it.
 The selectmen were also authorized to appoint committee of five whose duty it shall be to lay out the five vot- ing districts. The following committed was appointed: Judge Futile, W. F Downes, William F. Smith, Robert O'Connell and Wilbur c. Ives. The dis tricts are Highwood, Cedar Hill, Whit neville, Centerville and Mount Carmel. The selectmen were also authorized to join with the representative, MT. Broadbent, in endeavoring to stop the selling of Highwood to New Haven. When the question came up there was a hot discussion. The matter of tha annexation is now before the commit tee on cities and boroughs in the gen. eral assembly.
 There were about fifty present at the meeting.

the confidence not only of his own people, but of the world alike in his desire for peace, and his knowing how to secure it. There has never been a time when the two peoples were so glad to be friends, or when they looked with So much impatience at the idea of permitting anything to prevent It. Incidents which few years ago would have set both countries in a blaze are now habltually brushed aside or laugh ed out of sight, The two peoples have better business than watching each other for causes of offenses, and they better read the destiny to which they are both tending"
 In concluding Mir. Reid said:
 "The selection of Mir. Bryce has been accepted as compliment from the mother country to her giant offspring in the west. I can assure him wei come as cordial as ever fell to the lot of British representative, and I wish him in his new field, as 1 confi- dently anticipate, another distinguished and successful career"
 Mr. Bryce, responding to Mir Reid, confessed he had not words to acknowl- edge the great kindness shown to him. He sometimes wondered, he said, if whether in going to the western hemi- sphere he was not going to another and better world. and added
 "The United States have grown So great that they no longer need, as they did century ago, to be selfas- sertive. Having become the largest and most wealthy among civilized com munities they are respected every where and know it. During the last forty or fifty years Great Britain and the United States have come to know and understand each other better and to read one another's writings. With these guarantees there is a better chance that their friendship be dura- ble. Neither has any cause to quar- rel with the other Each country has as much territory as she can possibly acquire, and each country is proud of the other"
 Continuing, Mir Bryce said he was en- couraged by the thought that the mes sage he had to deliver was a plain and simple one, It was d message, he said, of true sympathy in veal and woe; q message of friendship between Great tain and America that both countries trusted would stand unbrok- en through the ages.
 War Secretary Haldane, Lord Rob- erts and others having spoken, a cable message from Joseph H. Chaote, for the Pilgrims of the United States, was read, and the proceedings came to an end.

sI0O,0OO,OOO IN FARES
Amount Paid to Atlantic
Companies in Ten
Months.

New York. Nov 11.-All records in
the transportation of passengers across
the Atlantic were broken during the
first ten months this year. during which
period over 100000 persons travelled
across the Atlantic. This was 100000
more than travelled during the corre-
spending period in 1905. If only S25
were allowed as the average passage
money this volume of traffic would
represent expenditure of ocean fares
OF no less than $50.O00,o00. Chances
are, however, that the average pass
age money was much more than S25
and that the total expended was close
to $100,000 900.
Most of this, of course went to for
eign shipowners. a fact which is an i'm
portant item as an offset to our ia
vorable balance Of trade resulting from
excess of exports over imports.
So far as the freight outlook is con-
cerned, the steamship men are look
ing forward to large demands for
cargo space to provide for the expected
heavy exports of our commodities. in
Guiding grain and cotton. which are
needed abroad.
