10 Succeed Stevens on Pan
anna Canal Commission
NO CAUSE ANNOUNCED
IT Is Said to Be Probable That the
Government Win Undertake the
Construction Of the
Canal
NO CAUSE ANNOUNCED

Washington, n q, Feb. 27.--Presi-
drnt Roosevelt has accepted the resig
nation Of Chief Engineer Stevens Of the
Panama Canal Commission lie has ap.
pointed to succeed him Major Goethals
Of the corps Of engineers. ". s. A.
A report given out earlier in the day
was that the administration had decid
cd not to accept any bids for the cons
struction Of the canal by contract.
This is taken to mean that the gov.
eminent win build the canal.
No explanation Of the cause Of Mr..
Stevens resignation has yet been made
On February 2 1t was announced that
The administration had been brought
taee to face with the alternative OF re-
lecting all bids for the construction Of
the canal by contract or losing the ser.
\ ices of Chief Engineer John II Stevens.
This was assigned THE reason for The
delay of President Roosevelt, Secretary
Taft and Chairman Slhonts of the Canal
Commission i'm acting on tho bid Of wv.
j. Oliver. An effort was made to get
Mr.. Stevens to change his mind, but he
continued obduratiye and the indications
at the time were that the administra-
ton would sccede to his request and
the construction be continued by the
government.
On October o, 1906, investigations for
proposals to complete the canal were is
sued by the Canal Commission, and the
form Of contract under which the work
was to be done was made public BY
Chairman Shonts, who also gave ont a
letter written TO the Secretary of War
giving the commissions reasons for con-
bacting the work Among Others who
put IN bids was William u Oliver. For
a time it seemed as If his bid would be
accepted, provided be could find salts
factory associate. This he did, and II
as expected that the administration
would decide to give him the award
Chief Engineer Stevens, however, dis
Tupted any plans by threatening to re-
| sign If the government did not build the
canal As result, the bids were held
up, and finally the decision to reject all
bids was reached.

Cut Did Not Fall Into the
Street
WAS PECULIAR ACCIDENT
An Elevated Accident in New York YES
terday in Which There Were No
Fatalities, But q Narrow
Escape.

New York, Feb. 27.--An ugly looking
wreck occurred yesterday at the Chat
ham square station Of the elevated TAIL
road.
A Third avenue train bound for South
ferry had just left the station and was
crossing over to the Second avenue track
when the rear car jumped the switch
The car swung around almost at right
angles and tore up the track and struc-
ture. 1t hit the switchman's tower at
the intersection Of the line that runs
to the City Hall station. The tower
crashed to the street below.
The ear remained on the structure,
with one end hanging over. Only the
tower prevented 1t from falling to the
street.
Fully feet Of the elevator structure
was demolished and tumbled to the street
In ruins. The passengers were able To
climb ont al one end Of the car to the
platform of the Chatham square sta
tion.
The names Of but three persons in
jured have been obtained;
isaac NeNDuT9.
Joseph McNallie.
Arthur Levy.
Five passengers in the rear car were
slightly bruised and cut by broken glass.
Three heavy Orders supporting the
tracks fell with the platform into the
street
Passengers in the ear were thrown
tbout, but fatalities were prevented by
the fact that the rear ear did not fall.
The train was made UP Of five cars
The motor car took the switch without
accident, and so did the three cars fol-
lowing. When the last wheels Of tnc
last car bit the switch they jumped from
tine track. The accident was due, it i
thought, by the switchman setting his
lever back too quickly, AS the wheels
left the rails the rear Of the car swung
outward throwing the front wheels from
the tracks and causing the car to swing
as though on pivot.

HOPE FOR SHIP SUBSIDY.
Some Sort Of Bill WIN Be soon
Passed.

Washington, d. Ct, Feb. GA debate
Upon the shipping bill in the House may
develop into a hammer and tongs war
OF words over the tariff, in which the
Democrats viii attack the whole pro.
tcction system. Should this decision
take such turn il must make for the
silidiacation al the Republicans and
would assist The shipping bill. Speaker
Cannon has given IL as hia opinion, after
i survey OF the situations That sufficient
Republicans can be mustered when the
hill, comes to vote ON Friday afternoon
at three o'clock, to pass some sort of a
shipping bill. 1t may be that the House
win so amend the bin as to strike out
all subsidies except those TO South
American lines An amendment viii be
proposed by tne Of the recaleitrant Re-
Lulilieans providing that no mail subsidy
sfall be granted to any line owned by
Hartman or Hill Adoption OF this
amendment would deprive the American
Ines to the Orient from being assessed
~ the pending bill Another amend.
ncnt viii be offered providing that no
rail subsidy shall be granted to any
iinc owned by a railroad company. This
would not assist the Hartman or Hill
lines, but would provide assistance to
rev lines which might be established
between the Pacific coast aud the Orient.
IL is quite probable that the bill win be
radically amended IN the House and
that It viii be protested from conference
much as IL is passed. The House today
resolved itself into committee Of the
whole and took up the question.
