Washington. = Frederick Morse Of
the American-China company and

proposals to the Isthmain canal work,
have addressed an inquiry to Secre-
tary Taft as to the decision of the de-
partment upon their bids which have
been pending since last fall. Action
has been deferred on these bids be-
cause the administration was not
certain that the work would be
done by contract or continue un-

while, the bidders have become i'm
patient and Mr.. Morse himself called
on Secretary Taft Thursday with the
result that they went to the White
house and discussed the matter with
the president.
Later the following statement was
give-i out at the War department:
I'm view of the changes which
have taken place in the management
of the isthmus, the persons making
the bids for Chinese labor, which
has been long pending, have been
notified that no action will be taken
in respect to them; that they are re-
leased from any obligations under
their bids and that if occasion should
arise for a renewal of bids for Chi
nese labor they will be- notified"

Many anglers have great faith in
fish as weather prophets. If storm
is approaching. they say, the fish stop
biting. and they won't bite again until
the storm is past. They also foretell
the near approach of cold weather.
Hours before it comes fish leave the
shallow waters in-shOre and seek deep
er water, which, owing to its depth,
will stay warm and keep an equab1e
temperature after the shallower and
