Burlington, Iowa, Feb. 27.-It is an

Mrs. Cora Higgins Rand, widow Of
Burlington millionaire, is to marry
General Harrison Gray Otis, a Phil

ENGINEERING BRANCH TO HAVE
CHARGE OF CANAL WORK.
PRESIDENT so ORDERS
Decides Abandonment for Present of
Project of Doing Work by Contract
on Percentage System--Retiring
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky to
Become Member of Commission.

Washington, Feb. 27.--By an order
addressed to the Isthmian canal com
mission yesterday President Roose-
welt as far as lay in his power under
the existing law transferred to the
engineering branch Of. the army the
responsibility of the further con-
struction of the Panama canal. He
also in the same order formally de-
cided abandonment for the present
at least, of the project of having
canal work done by contract on the
percentage system. Another feature
of the order was the announcement
of the resignation of John F. Stevens
as engineer in charge of the canal
construction. The intention of the
president is that there shall be entire
reorganization of the commission with
three army officers of the engineer
corps it's leading members who are
to have charge of the engineering
features of the canal work. The
chairman and engineering chief Of the
commission will be Major G. w.
Goethals and his associates, Major d.
Du Gailllrd and Major William l..
Sibert, to rank in the order named.
These officers are all comparatively
young, ambitious and energetic mem
bers Of the corps Reorganization is
| to become effective Immediately upon
confirmation and retirement of the old
commissioner, Senator Blackburn OF
Kentucky, who retires from the
| United States senate March A, is to
| be made a member of the reorganized
commission. The nominations of the
present commission pending before
Haines, Endicott, Herrod, Gorgas and
| Jackson Smith. Their confirmation is
desired in order to remove all doubt
as to the legality of certain acts they
have performed in connection with
the making of contracts. The retire
ment of Shonts and Stevens will leave
but two vacancies, so that there will
be two more retirements necessary tc
make way for three army officers, and
Senator Blackburn. AS he told his
callers yesterday the president is de
termined that the work on the canal
shall proceed continuously and thor
oughly and temporary 'dislocations'
which may come as a result of res
tgnations of the higher officials shall
not be allowed to interfere with the
progress. 1t is understood that Stew

M. o. DECLARED A FAILURE.
Water No Cheaper at Cedar Rapids;
Taxes Are Hiqher.

Taxes Are Higher.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Feb 26.-Nu-
nicipal ownership of waterworks an
der the most favorable conditions
here has proved unsuccessful This
city has been looked upon by all the
states as an example of what coald
be done by the municipal ownership
of public utilities The business
was placed in tie hands of three
trustees, who are among the shrewd-
est business men of Cedar Rapids.
After several years experiment, the
taxpayer has discovered that he is
securing his water at no cheaper
prices than under former conditions,
and besides paying for the service he
is paying interest on bonds, his share
OF maintaining expenses and a pro
portion of the large outlay for re-
pairs.
Furthermore, he has discovered
that 100000 worth of property which
formerly contributed to the tax fund
is now exempt because of being
owned by the city. But the most ag-
grieved persons are those who are
not reached by watermains and are
necessarily compelled to help share
this burden of expense which fur
ntshes convenience to the smaller
number.

ST. PAUL ABANDOAS
IMPROVEMENT rs

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Owing to rail
way legislation and the difficulty of
raising money, as well as the in
creased cost of labor and material
the ST. Paul railroad has Temporarily
abandoned the improvements and ex-
tensions, for which the management
expected to spend from 100000, Gee
to $S,000,00O.
1T Is true" declared President
Earring last night, that the ST. Pau
road is not going to do any work
this year that is not necessary. We
are doing what every other prudent
railroad company is doing and what
must be done in view of the tendency
of the times We would stop build
ing the Pacific coast extension were
it not for the fact that the work mas
proceeded to a point where it could
not very well be stopped. I am rot
an alarmist, but when a prudent
mariner sees a squall coming he Will
trim his sails and when it seems to
me there are lpenty of squalls on ev-
cry side for the railroads just now.
