PRESIDENT DECIDES AGAINST
USING CONTRACT SYSTEM.
BOARD TO BE REoRGANIzEo
Engineer From the Regular Army
viii Be in Charge of the Work
Stevens Has Resigned.

Washington.-By an order addressed
to Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian
Canal Commission Tuesday, President
Roosevelt. as far as lay in his power
under existing law, transferred to the
engineer branch of the army the re-
sponsibility for the further construc-
tion of the Panama canal.
He also formally recorded the aban-
donment, for the present at least ot
the project of having the canal work
done by contract on the percentage
system.
Another feature was the announce
ment of the resignation of John f.
Stevens as engineer-in-chi of canal
construction.
Mr.. Shonts is in New York, where
he will preside at meeting of the di-
rectors of the Panama Railroad Com
pany, of which he is president, and
will. it is expected, formally resign
tina. position.
The President intends that there
shall be an entire reorganization OF
the commission, with three army Of
ficers of the engineer corps as It's lead
ing members. who are to have charge
OF the engineering features of the ca
nal work.
The chairman and engineer-in-chief
of the commission will be Maj. u. w.
Goethals. His associates will be Maj.
Dub. Gaillard and Maj. William l.. 81
bert, to rank in the order named.
These officers are all comparatively
young, ambitious and energetic.
Senator Joseph S. c. Blackburn OF
Kentucky, who will retire from the
United States Senate March 4th, is to
be made a member of the reorganized
commission. The nominations of the
present commissioners now pending
before the Senate include Messrs.
Shonts, Stevens, Haines. Endicott. Her
rod, Gorgas and Jackson Smith. Their
confirmation is desired in order TO re-
move obstacles to make way Tor the
certain acts they have performed In
connection with the making OF con
tracts. The retirement of Messrs
ShCnts and Stevens will leave but two
vacancies, so that there will be two
more obstacles to may way for the
army officers and Senator Blackburn
The President is determined that the
work on the canal shall proceed con
tinuously and the temporary disloca.
tions" caused by the designations ol
higher officials will not be allowed to
interfere with progress.
The probability is that the admins
tration may determine to give out the
work to be done at the isthmus under
contract under the general direction ol
the army engineers. After MAJOR
Goethals and his army associates have
been at the isthmus sufficient time to
become fully acquainted with the work
to be done, they will submit a repor,
on the situation to the President. II
