In view of the questions which will
be asked by the democrats in the
next session of congress, government
officials have been figuring over the
ultimate cost of the Panama canal.
The figures show that the ultimate
cost of. the canal will be in the
neighborhood of 1854, 900, 900. This
is by far in excess OF the original
estimates and the original sum
named by congress as the limit with
in which the expenditures were to
be kept. 1t is thought, however, with
the splendid progress made, there
will be little difficulty in having the
limit raised by congress. This is
not to be attempted at the coming
session. The canal commission is
asking for $31, 100000 for the next
fiscal year, which, it is thought, will
be the average annual expenditure for
the remaining five and a half years,
the time set for completing the canal.

NO TAMPERING WITH PLAYERS
Hickman and White Without Offers
from Outlaws.
SO Far as KnowR Paige, Union
Recruit Players in This City.

Charley Hickman and Harry White, of
the White Sox, yesterday denied emphat-
cally that they have been approached
by representatives Of the new Union
League or that any efforts have been
made TO have them sign with clubs out
side of organized baseball.
Speaking of the reports that he was
ready TO jump Chicago, Charley Hickman
said: Nothing is more foolish than that
have decided TO throw down COmiskey,
who l consider one OF the finest men
have ever met since l broke into base
ball. I understand that a scout was in
town the other day, but l did not even
see him. and so far as l know he did
not speak 10 any ball players, who are
wintering here.
Il do not know anything about the new
league. except what I have read in The
Herald. l was told last summer that
there was talk of new outlaw league IN
the West. but l was not enough interested
10 inquire who were the parties behind
the movement"
Fred Paige. the delegate OF the Union
League. spent two days in Washington
early this week. but his mission was q
look over the situation generally, and il
he was searching for ball players, Hick-
man and White would probably have beer
the first he would have approached. but
he failed to visit them. There are fewer
ball players than usual, spending the OF
season here, so it is extremely unlikely
that Paige came in the hope OF recruiting
any players for his club.

Bingham Awaits Interpretation Of
Educational" Entertainment.

New York, Dec 20.-Police COmmis-
sioner Bingham will meet the inspec-
tors tomorrow morning to instruct
them regarding the enforcement Of the
Doull Sunday ordinance. He hopes by
that time to have received from Cor
pOratiOn Counsel PendletOn detailed
Interpretation of the new law. partic-
ularly as TO what features of possible
theatrical entertainment at the vaude-
vile houses care or are not "Educa-
tional"
Commissioner Bingham received a
copy Of the new ordinance to-day, with
an opinion from the corporation coun-
sci that the law did not interfere with
the penal code. The commissioner,
however, did not consider himself fully
enlightened as TO his duty under the
new ordinance. and hopes to get some
clear definitions of certain entertain
ments 70 guide him.
What sort of acts formerly given in
vaudeville concerts are or are not TO
be permitted by the terms Of the new
ordinance is puzzling the commissioner.
Gen. Bingham regards his place as
purely executive and matters OF inter-
probation of law. he believes, lie out
