REPORTS ON CANAL
CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE COMMITTEE
RECENTLY RETURNED.
CAN Be COMPLETED IN FIVE YEARS
Needs More Railroad Capacity to Take
Care of the Dirt Now Be-
ing Excavated.

Washington, d. C.-Chairman Taw-
ney of the house committee on
appropriations, and Representative
Olcott, who have recently returned
from a visit to the isthmus of Panama,
Thursday discussed with the president
conditions as they found them. Mr..
Tawney is %favorably impressed with
the progress being made in the canal
work and told the president he thought
at the present rate the waterway
should be completed in five years. He
said he regarded it as unfortunate
that the engineering world had been
representing to the people an almost
impossible engineering problem con-
fronting it. The principal conditions
now to be met, he said, were those of
sufficient railroad capacity to take
care of the dirt excavated, and santa
ton with the view to keeping the place
In a good healthful condition.
Mr.. Tawney also discussed with the
president questions affecting congress
sional appropriations for canal work
and it is likely some legislation bear.
ing on the subject will be recommend
ed to congress as a result of the visit
to the isthmus.

QUAKE IN MEXICO
REPORTED THAT EARTH ROCKED
FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES.
THE LONGEST ON RECORD THERE
No Lives Reported Lost and Few Are
lnjured-Preceded by an
Electric Flash.

City of Mexico, Mex.-An earth
quake lasting four and a half min
utes startled this city. The earth
rocked in a long swinging motion,
Terrifying the inhabitants, repre-
sentatives of the press made a rapid
tour in cabs over the business streets
Of the city, but nowhere could dam.
age beyond cracked walls and small
assures in the payements be found.
At the police stations no deaths had
been reported up to 12:40 a. m. A
wall on Santiago street collapsed, kill
ing a number of, horses and wounding
five men.
No reports have yet come from the
American colony, but it is not believed
that serious damage was sustained
there, although the houses, unlike
those in the old section of the city,
are not built to withstand earthquake
| shocks. At the time of the first shock
the cafes and theaters were filled and
for a time a panic was feared, but
owing to the peculiarly steady swing
of the earth's movement, the crowds
left the buildings in comparative or
der. The shock was preceded by two
bright electric flashes, which lit up the
sky to the northwest of the city. Up
to this time the property loss is re
ported as very small. A number Of
walls in unsubstantial buildings col
lapsed and one on Buchareli street
narrowly missed burying the fleeing
inmates of a nearby hotel.
The unusual length of the shock
has not been officially verified from
the government observatory at Taca
buya, communication with that point
being cut off. A representative o.
Ell Diario, a morning paper, held 6
watch during the shock and is au
thority for the statement that the
earth rocked for four and a half min
utes. If this is true, it is the Longest
earthquake eve recorded ir this city
The city is comparatively quiet, al
though the streets are yet thronget
with people, many refusing to enter
their houses through fear of a more
severe shock to come.

Mo New Game Warden,

Jefferson City.-A report was stated
to the effect that Governor Folk had
rendered the appointment of State
Game and Fish Warden to ]. G. Bass
ford, of Mexico. The Governor stated
positively that he had not taken this
matter up and would not do so for
some weeks. He said that the new
law would not become operative until
June 16, and consequently there would
be ample time to make a selection. 1t
has been known here for some time
that the present State Game and Fish
Warden, Joseph H. Rodes, of Sedalia,
vas DESTROYS of retiring, but it seems
now that he will not do so until the
new law goes into effect.

SAME DEFENSE FOR THAw.
Insanity of the Defendant at the Time
of the Shooting.

New York-After a later c%onsulta-
tion with Thaw, Daniel O'Reilly says
the defense at the second trial Of
Whites slayer will be practically the
same as that offered at the first--in-
sanity of the defendant at the time of
the shooting. He said, while the
alienists called as witnesses by the
prosecution at the first trial had adj
mitied that Thaw was mentally in
sane, the district attorney had con-
tended that he was not legally in
sane. The defense at the next trial
will be prepared to prove, according
to O'Reilly, that Thaw was then legal
ly insane also.

A trip into the Dismal Swamp is
one of the attractions offered by the
jamestown exhibition. A steamboat
route has been opened up through the
1000 square miles involved, which,
moreover, are said not to be so dis
NAL as their name indicates. The
Dismal Swamp was once the hiding
place of runaway slaves. The swamp
itself was not terrible to them. 1t
seemed almost heavenly if they could
succeed in reaching it. The dismal
part was their flight across the south
ern states.

board of railroad and warehouse COM

operative April &c. The rates en-
bodied in this schedule were fixed by
an act passed at the recent session

does not go into effect, not having
the emergency clause to make it op-
erative from the date of signature by
the governor, until June 16, and would
therefore be of nc force until the

That the berry growers might have the
benefits of this tariff, which is some
thing like a 25 per cent reduction,
the commissioners determined by
their order to put the rate into force
at the opening of the season. :

MANCHURIA
EVACUATED
LAST OF THE RUSSIAN TROOPS
LEFT MARCH Fl, A MONTH
AHEAD OF TIME.
JUSTIFICATION OF GOOD FAITH
The Japanese Troops Were With
drawn April s-Last vestige
of War Has Now Been
Removed.

st. Petersburg-The expiration Of
the Is months limit for the evacua-
ton of Manchuria by the Russian and
Japanese troops was marked by the
nomination Monday of Russian con-
suls at Kirin and Tsitsihar, the last
two towns in Manchuria to pass from
Russian hands to the Chinese civil ad-
ministration.
The evacuation of the Russian
troops was completed March 81, al
most a month ahead of the specified
date.
A foreign office official, comment
ing on Russia's premature withdraw
al, said:
1T is a complete justification of
Russia's good faith in fulfilling the
treaty. 1t was ~insinuated when the
treaty was signed that Russia would
never abandon Manchuria, but would
find some means of evading her obli-
cations. But the expiration Of the
stipulated period finds not a single
soldier of the Russian military estab-
lishment left in Manchuria. The rail-
road guards, approximately 5000 men,
as provided for by the treaty, are COM
manded by Gen. Chicagoff and are
attached to the ministry of railroads
and not to the war ministry.
Japan Is Also Out.
The work Of Withdrawing the jap
anese troops from Manchuria was COM
| pleted April s and China has there
fore expressed her hearty apprecia-
tion of the fact in a note to the Jap
anese government. Baron Goto, to
the management of whose company
the Manchurian railroad was trans
ferred April 1, said Monday:
THE last vestige of war in Man
churia has now been removed. Fair
play is my guiding principle. In pro-
noting the peaceful development of
Manchuria, through which our rail-
way runs, national differences will be
entirely ignored. Manchuria will be
made a field for the fair competition
of all nations. In order that we may
carry out this principle, crave pa
thence on the part of those interest
ed. Remember the management of
the road was only transferred to us
on the first of the present month. The
allowance of sufficient time will in
sure the realization of our plans"
