No Decision Reached by President
and Secretary Taft.
Washington, Feb. 2.-Secretary Taft
held a conference during the day with
the president regarding the Panama
canal contract for the purpose of de-
termining upon a course of procedure.
The president and secretary have be-
fore them the completed bid of Will
lam J. Oliver and his associates for
the construction of the canal. After
Dhe conference Secretary Loeb gave
out the following statement:
"The bid of the ver-McDonald-
Pierce combination mas been received
and examined and meets the formal
requirements Mr.. Paul ID. CraVath,
aon behalf of his clients, the Macarthur
Gillespie combination, has requested
a hearing before final action is taken.
In addition to granting this hearing
the secretary of war and the isthmian
canal commission will make as thor
ough an examination as possible into
the qualifications, experience, business
standing and achievements of Mr.. Oil
ver and his associates and into the re-
sponsibility of the sureties. Secretary
Taft and the commission will probably
need a fortnight to complete full ex
animation of the bid report to the
president
Secretary Taft later in the day made
known to Mr. Oliver the result of his
talk with the president and framed
letter to Judge O'Brien, divers coun-
sell informing him just how the mat
ter stood This letter stated, among
other things, that the president was
very much inclined to give the con-
tract to Mr.. Oliver and his associates,
but that he would not surrender his
right tC reject all bids.

Death of Lucilia e. Fagen.

Miss Lucilia E. Fagen, who until
four years ago was a resident of Nor
ris, but recently has been living at
South Park, died on Friday evening of
last week, February 1st. The cause of
her death was appendicitis, for which
shehad two operationsperformed. The
first operation did not result success
fully, and it was decided to have anoth-
er, but from the second she never re-
covered. 1t was thought that she was
resting quietly and naturally after the
second operation, and her relatives de-
parted from the hospital, but the
sleep into which she had fallen proved
to be her last.
The funeral was held from the South
Park Congregational church on Mon
day, and that evening the remains
were brought here for interment
which occurred on Tuesday.
Miss Fagen was d young lady who
had a large number of friends here to
whom her death brings sorrow, as she
was highly loved and respected. She
ived here most of her life, being born
in Boone, Iowa, Sept %, 1875, whence
she moved here in 1884, where she
lived until about four years ago when
the family moved to South Park. She
was daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Fagen.
She leaves besides her mother five
brothers and three sisters, all of whom
were present at the funeral or inter-
ment here. The brothers are Willie,
Arthur, George and Harry of st. Paul,
and Alfred, of Pepperton, and the sis
ters are Mrs. Sidney Stafford, Mrs. Os-
car McFarren and Mrs. @. w. Dopkins,
all of st. Paul. The remains were ac-
companied here by Mrs. VIM. Fagen,
Mrs. G. w. Dopkins, and George and
Henry Fagen. They returned to St.
Paul on Wednesday.

Another 19straw' was the satisfae-
tory conclusion of the Hackney Butler
election contest. Here, too, the cor
poration ferees were routed and they
succeeded in partially covering up
their interest and very active partici-
patton in the contest by finally max
ing it appear on the records as party
fight. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Hackney and Mr.. Butler were op-
posing candidates for state senator
from St. Paul district and that the
former was elected. Both men were

an uncomfortable" uncompromising
enemy of the interests, while his op-
ponent was almost openly committed
to the corporations, especially the
railroads. The combines had no legeti-
mate grounds for attempting to un-
seat Mr.. Hackney, yet they fought
with desperation and tenacity which
only those on the inside can ever fully
understand. The man against whom
their efforts were directed was re-
publican, yet the corporation con-
trolled members of that party, were
the most active in the attempt to give
his seat to democrat who was con-
sidered both safe and useful. Had
there been the least excuse or justifi-
cation for this high handed move to
nullify the will of the majority it
would have been successful. But the
ssissue' in the contest became so
thoroly esta blished that those back of
it could only retreat, finally arranging
to end the matter by having all re-
publicans vote for Mr.. Hackney and
all the nineteen democrats vote
against him, thus resolving it, in out

CHIEF ENGINEER STEVENS oP-
POSES CONSTRUCTION OF
CANAL BY CONTRACT.
CAUSES DELAY IN PASSING ON BIDS
DETERMINED TO SEVER coNNEc.
TON WITH WORK IF ANY
OFFER IS ACCEPTED.

Washington, Feb. 8-The admins
tration has been brought face to face
with the alternative of rejecting all
bids for the construction of the Pan
anna canal by contract or losing the
services of Chief Engineer John f.
Stevens. This is the reason for the
delay of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Taft and Chairman Shonts of
the canal commission in acting on the
Oliver bid An effort has been made
to get Mr.. Stevens to change his mind,
but he has continued obdurate and
the indications are that the admins
tration will accede to his request and
the construction will be continued by
the government
This information In regard to the
position taken by Mr.. Stevens comes
from source that cannot be doubt
ed, but it has created some surprise
on account of testimony given by Mr..
Stevens before the senate committee
on interoceanic canals year ago. He
then said that he favored
Building the Canal by Contract.
He was OF the opinion that contrac-
tors would be in a better position to
deal with the question of laborers.
Since then he has gone over the canal
plans carefully and he now expresses
the belief that the canal can be con-
structed by the government within a
period of ten years. His friends have
advised him that if a contract is let
for construction he will be robbed of
the credit of building this great water
way Frequent exchanges OF cable
grams between Washington and the
istf mus have resulted in a demand
by Mrs Stevens for the acceptance of
his resignation if the contract is
awarded.
1t is asserted by certain senator's
who have taken an unusual interest in
all matters relating to the canal that
If one of the bids for canal construc
tion is accepted it will mean that the
administration has determined to dis
pose of Mr.. Stevens as the director
of the canal construction.

cfals who make their headquarters

that the railroads of the country will
find themselves obliged before long
to advance freight rates instead of re-
ducing them. The consensus Of opin-
ion of these officials is that increase

outstripping the rate of increase In

In an interview on the question Ros-

of being able to think of raising rates
the roads are actually confronted by
movement for reduction of rates
This movement, Mr. Miller said, they
must, of course, oppose, owing to the
conditions under which they are op-
Grating.
w. c. Brown, senior vice president

expected that this inquiry will ac-
complish two things: (D fair and

Senator Sundberg was criticised for
his disregard of parliamentary preeed-

discomfitted the opposition that only
