Construction at Panama Pro-
Ceeding Faster than Antici-
pated When Funds for Pur-
pose Were Provided.
EIGHT MILLIONS MORE
NEEDED FOR THIS YEAR
Colonel GoethaIS, in Charge, Is
Resolved to Continue on the
Present Basis, Trusting to
Deficiency Appropriation.

Washington, Aug. 20.--Conditions
on the Panama canal have reached q
state OF gravity due 10 the fact that
the construction work Is developing
faster than when the estimates for the
fiscal year. 1908. were made more
than a year ago. An estimate Is
made that an expenditure OF more
than $4,000. eco more than the appro-
priatiun Tor the fiscal year could be
made To advantage. This money Is
needed in pushing forward the work
at the preatest possible speed during
the present year. and Colonel Goeth-
ais, the engineer in charge. thinks IL
In the Interest OF economy to proceed
along this basis and ask congress at
Us next session for a sufficient APP
propriation TO make good the defi-
cheney. He viii make the argument
that with the present organization,
the work toward the completion OF the
great waterway can be pushed moro
rapidly than by restricting operations
within the limits OF the appropria-
tioua now available.
