 Provided Employees.

Charleston, s. C., March 12. --Condi- tions in general in the Panama canal zone are declared to be extremely fa- vorable for completion of the canal within the eight years ending Jan- uary |, 1915. as estimated by the en- glneers in charge of the work, In the opinion of the committees from com- uercial clubs in Boston. Chicago, Cin- cinnati and St. Louis who arrived here today aftsr a visit to the Isth- us. - '
 The committees found that accord ing to their reports, that tho greatest hindranee to rapid progress Is lack of adequate dumping facilities. This is said to be due to a shortage of ears for the transportation of refuse from the steam shovel plant which is work ed at only about fifty per cent. of its capacity.
 The committees b@ieve, however, that when the supply of cars is suffi- ciently increased. the increase in progress will be most marked,
 The investigators fouBi that some of the complaints which have been made Concerning the preparation of food for the Iaborers appeared to be we'll founded. They suggest that an Improvement in the service in the ho- tel dining rooms would be welcome and also recommend an Increase in the facilities for the amusement of the residents Of the zone.
 Of the organization built up by those in charge of the work in the zone the committee has only words of highest commendation. Sanitary conditions are declared to be excellent.
 The force of iaborers Is declared to be adequate and efficient and the com mittee expresses belief that no dif- ficulty will be experienced in recruit ing the force as conditions may de- mand. Tn this connection opinion is expressed that the laborers will be drawn from the white and black races because Chinese labor is not want ed.
 It is recognised by the officials of the canal, the report says, that while the Chinese coolie would meet all the requirements of intelligence, strength and vitality, yet his introduction would lead to difficulties of adminis- tration and segregation which 1t seems desirable to avoid unless the confront ing of the subject becomes necessa- ry.
 Of the officials and skilled workers the report says:
 They are young men and picked men. One and all they spoke with unhesitating faith in commendation of the plan of work. of the ability of the chief engineer and of his fidelity an zeal and of the practicabilIty of completing the canal upon the lines | fropoSed," {"

 Washington, MarchS t2.--A goodly number of American naval officials will watch with interest the entry into Hampton Roads May 8 next of the big Japanese armored cruiser Tsukuga-
 Their interest is explained by two facts first that this ship with speed on natural draft of about twenty-five knots which is better than any of our own cruisers can do was turned out iron, a Japanese ship yard by Japanese worknaen who are just beginning na- val construction; yet according to na- val experts the ship Is perfect in every detail.

romds Causes Raise.
 Chicago, March i2.--The generally congested condition of the railroads throughout the country and the result- ant shortage of cars will cause an ad- vance of prices on manufactured pro ducts of the American Paper and Pulp Association for 1907 and 1908.
 This was the result of meeting of the Eastern and western members of the association held here yesterday. The manufacturers expressed the opfn- ion that the business is now active and prices of manufactured articles firm.
 The price is likely to be advanced because of the scarcity of raw ma terial and existing car shortage. The greatly increased price of production during the last year was also given as a reason for advances.
