Greensburg, Pa.-The Office cat has

Canal 1904 Miles Long Between Tamplce
and Tuxpam Built by an American.

Tuxpam, MeX-The Mexican gov
eminent is building an inland water
way 1O4 miles long to connect the
ports OF Tampico and Tuxpam. 1t is
now about one.half finished and will
cost about 100000 Mexican money,
which is equivalent to $2,500,000 gold.
1t Is 75 feet wide and has a uniform
depth OF 10h feet. The first division
of &C miles is now practically finished
and is open for traffic. 1t is expected
that the waterway will be opened all
the way through for small boats with
in two years.
This waterway runs within from two
to five miles OF the gulf along Its
whole length. Its construction grew
out of the fact that there are frequent
ly days at a time when small boats
engaged In coastwise trade are unable
to weather the rough water of the
gulf and that there is insufficient wa
ter over the bar at the mouth of the
Tuxpam river at times to enable the
beats to reach the harbor at Tuxpam
Another great incentive that led tc
the building of the canal was that II
would be the means of developing a
broad agricultural region that has
heretofore been badly lacking in trans
portation facilities for its various
products.
The Tampico.Tuxpam canal follows
the route of an inland waterway which
has been in use for more than three
i quarters of a century

BIG SEA FIGHTER TO BE BUILT
At NEW YORK NAVY YARD.
Order Forbids Men Telling Anything
About New 2o,o00-Ton Vessel
Keel to Be Laid Within a
Few Weeks.
Copyright by Walden rawccfe.

New York.-In an order which is
one of the most sweeping ever issued
at the New York navy yard all officers
and men employed in the construction
of the new 20,00O-ton battleship, whose
keel will be laid within a few weeks,
are forbidden to give out any informa-
ton whatsoever to the newspapers or
the public. So strict Is the wording
of the order that the officers in charge
of the department Of construction and
repair, to whom 1t is particularly ad-
dressed, will not even give the name
of the author.
Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich,
commandant of the yard, is In Wash
ington, and 1t is believed that the order
had its origin there. One officer did
venture the information that the con-
tents of the document would probably
be made public within few days.
William j. Baxter, naval construc.
tor, who will have charge Of the build.
ing of the ship, refused to talk about
anything connected with his depart
ment.
81 am shut up tighter than a clam, "
he said. Under this order we cannot
give out any information. cannot tell
you when the keel or the new vessel is
to be laid The order won't let me say
how many men are to be taken on or
laid off"
All other officers connected with the
department of construction and re.
pair were as reticent as their chief. AT
the office of the labor board In the
yard 1t was found lhat the order had
produced an effect similar to that in
the department Of construction and re-
pair.
While some OF the officers and men
! are Of the opinion that the desire OF
the navy department is to prevent for
eign nations from learning Of the i'm
provements In the battleship, others
see in 1t the result of the struggle that
has been going on between the officers
favoring the consolidation of the vari
Gus departments of the yard and the

posed to consolidation and many Off

TOO MUCH MUD IN OMAHA.
Citizens imbibed 1875 Tons Of sedi.
ment In a Year.

Omaha, Neb.-Omaha people have
been drinking 81 tons of mud every
day, according to the testimony Of the
city chemist, given In suit wherein
the city is protesting the bills of the
Omaha Water company because OF the
impure water furnished. During the
year Omaha people drank 1875 tons
of sediment, the chemist said.
The Omaha water supply is taken
from the Missouri river, the muddiest
stream In the country. Although alum
is used in settling the water. and Ave
different settling basins are contained
in the battery of reservoirs, yet the
water as 1t comes from the mains is
murky.

them away from him. AS he stopped
to unfasten the harness of one of the
horses that had fallen down, however,
the foe took advantage of his posture
and In a second fastened upon his
face, arms and person in such num-
bers that he looked like cluster OF
bees in swarming time.
After few moments Of this agony
he could stand It no longer and fed.
Once outside of the field where they

bees left him and returned to the ami

contrast to the fast purpling visage.
Even the ears were sunk In level to
the sides of swollen cheeks.
His nerve completely gone, the man
ran through the fields to the ranch
house. Here he was met by Mrs.
Blame, the wife of the owner, who was
Mortified at the loathsome sight. Stat
ford was almost insane with the pain.
Help was summoned and the man
taken into the kitchen of the round
house. Here, according to DIR. Long,
of Fresno, who was summoned as
soon as possible after the discovery
OF what had happened, handouts OF
singers were scraped out of Stafford's
face and body. The man had been
wearing a thin shirt, which anorded
no protection against his tormentors,
and his body was as bloated and mis-
shapen as his face. His arms and
legs were enlarged to three times
their natural size, and every portion
Of his body was filled with the stings
OF the angry creatures.

This unusual occurrence took place
