LABOR FOR
 THE CANAL Agent of War Department Rak- ing Europe Over For Men
 Who Can Dig HE MEETS OPPOSITION SpaniardS and Italians Accepting and Their Governments Are Entering Strenuous Objections :. Big
 Money Being Offered.
HE MEETS OPPOSITION

Paris, March 2O.-Leroy Parks, an agent of the war department has been in Europe for some months soliciting foreign labor for work on the Panama canal, and although he has encounter ed much opposition, he has succeeded since October, in shipping 4,500 men, nearly all Spaniards or Italians, and they are now going forward at the rate of about 800 q month. They are given free transportation, repayable out of their earnings at the rate of four dollars q month, and are guar;sn- teed pay at the rate of 20 cents an hour with everything in the shape of lodgings. medical attendance, etc, on the isthmus found, except meals, which are paid for at the rate of 2O cents meal or sixty cents a day. Notwithstanding the inducements of, fered, both the Spanish and Italian governments were opposed to allow ing their subjects to- go to Panama. The objections of the Spanish gov ernment were in measure overcome and with the advent of the new Mau ra conservative cabinet there was still less hostility. but on the other hand a sudden agitation has grown up in Spanish commercial circles against emigration in general, on the ground that it is draining the country of la. Dor. The Imlian government has re- mained steadily hostile and formal notices warning Italian laborers not to go to the isthmus were placarled throughout the country. Nevertheless many Italians, attracted by the offer of work. crossed the frontier and left for French ports.

POET ALDRpH DEAD.
Noted Boston Writer Fails to Rally
 From Operation.

BOSTON, March 20.-Thomas Bailey Aldrich, poet and novelist, is dead at his home here. where he was taken from the Massachusetts Homeopathic hospital.
 Mir. Aldrich's illness was considered slight when it began. and. indeed, the physicians had not until very recently intimated that it was of grave charac ter. An operation described as slight was performed at the hospital. and the patient was reported comfortable.
 Three weeks ago Mrs. Aldrich took up her abode in the hospital so as to be near her husband, whose seventy years, it appears. had so sapped his strength that convalescence was i'm. possible. Deeming that his comfort would be increased at home. he was taken there. Death was painless.
 The dead poet is described by Ed mund Clarence Stedman as "the most pointed. and exquisite of our lyrical craftsmen Not only Stedman, how. ever. but also every writer who has
  endeavored to give some idea of the man and his work, has emphasized his artistry and daintiness as poet and q writer of prose
 The last literary work of Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a poem written on the centenary of the birth of the peel Henry wadsworth Longfellow. It was read by Charles T. Copeland of liar yard university at Sanders theater on Feb. 2 to observe the anniversary.
 Aldrich speaks of Portsmouth. x. H., by the sea. the place where on Nov II. 1S36. he was born. as 'the prettiesi place in the world" Some other wit CTS. notably Mark Twain. have agreed with him in that description.

DOGS WON'T BEHAVE.
Employe of Baker Kelly Was Bitten
 This Morning.

A dog which undoubtedly was a victim of the rabies caused much ex- citement on Bank street shortly be- fore s o'clock this morning, when it bit Marjjillino Roddaxso, employed as barn man for Thomas Kelly, the baker. The animal snapped at nu- merous persons and is said to have bitten couple of other pedestrians before it was put to sleep by bullet from Ofiicer Delehanty's revolver. The dog, which is said to have been owned by John DeGastini, was exam ined by Dr Bland and its head was sent to the Pasteur institute in New York, where it will be definitely learned whether the animal was mad.
 About an hour before the dog was shot it was running madly on upper Bank street and made many attempts to plunge its teeth into the legs of passersby. A milkman who was on his way home after delivering his morning wares endeavored to capture the cur, but he gave it up as a bad job after making several unsuccessful attempts to get a moose around its neck. He had club in one hand with which to do some heavy work If he could have lassooed the canine
 There were few people on their way to work when the dog went run ming down Bank street. but the cry of Mad dog" was given and the walk was cleared to give the cur a clear way. As it went down through Brooklyn Officer Delehanty noticed the strange actions of the canine and pursued it along the street. The dog ran rapidly and when near the Naug- atuck station 1t attacked Roddaxso. who is known to many as Mike Rose"
 The brute made savage attack on Roddaxso. but he succeeded in warding oif the first lunge of the cur The dog next grabbed the man by the coat tails, but it was again shaken off. Once more the rabid animal went at its victim and this time 1t succeeded in sinking its teeth in the mans flesh. It pierced the back of his hand and so much force was in its bite that its teeth came out on the palm of the fellows hand.
 The injured man hastened to a doc tor. after informing 0fiicer Delehanty in what direction the dog had gone.
 Delehanty traced the dog into Chatfield avenue. where he found it tied to a wagon. It took him only a few moments to put a bullet in the animals head.
 It is thought that the animal had been tied up but broke away. so the owner when it returned instantly tied it up again. perhaps to deceive the officer who was following 1t. But Delehanty was sure of the animal and asked no questions before he killed it.
 A warrant in all probability will be issued for DeGastini's arrest. all though at the police station this is not thought to be his correct name.
