Construction work on the Panama ca
nal will be rushed next year. Thirty
two millions, approximately, are to be
expended. Congressman James A.
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, just re
turned from Panama with seventeen
members of the committee, predicts
that the canal will be completed by
Dec. 81, 1914. 1--WE found everything
going along in the most satisfactory
way" the Congressman declares.
There may be a million cut Off the
sum of $50, 100000 asked for construc-
ton, although demands in the main
have been modest. Reductions will be
asked in only few departments. 80
cial conditions there are better gener-
ally than among the workmen Of the
United States. Workmen are well
cared for and satisfied. We found the
employees, clerical, medical and engin-
eering, were paid 80 per cent more
than at home, while quarters are fur
nished. single man gets a room +;
married men a house. Canal men are
paid one-thlrd more than at home, and
they can live more cheaply. The gov
eminent sells them supplies at a lower
rate than home prices. Ice water and
light are cheaper than in New York.
Sanitary conditions are all that can be
desired"

Reports from London state taat the r.
suits of the careful investigations and ex-
periments OF the Royal Commission on
Tuberculosis indicate that there are two
kinds of consumption. When the bacill
of these diseases were administered to
animals those from one group caused rap
idly fatal general tuberculosis, while tile
germs Of the other group tbsugh given
in far larger doses, had only slight local
effect, and the disease tended to undergo
a spontaneous cure, but the investigations
have not yet reached point where it is
practicable to determine with certainty
from which type of disease he patient
is suffering. One Of the results OF the
exper ments made seems to be to siscredit
Koch's view that bovine and human tu-

Three railroad companies, the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe, st. Louis
and San Francisco, and the Missouri
Pacific, have absolutely declined to
comply with an order Of the Postofice
Department that for the next forty
days these roads should carry empty
mail bags and other mail equipment
back 10 the distribution centers with
out compensation therefor. The reason
for this order was a desire to prevent
a tie-up or congestion Of mail during
and just preceding the holidays. To
this end, It was thought that it would
be well TO have the equipment trans
ferred more speedily than can be done
by freight, which is the method pro-
vided. While there is some doubt as
to the right OF the department to en-
force its order, the law permits the use
of the express companies for the pur-
pose in question, which would meet the
emergency, though proving rather ex.
pensive.

TAFT MAKES ADDRESS.
Speaks at Meeting of Virginia Bar
Association.

Speaks at Meeting of Virginia Bar
Association.
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. J:-Following
technical analysis of federal proce.
dure by Judge H. Mcdowell of Lynch
burg William H. Taft addressed the
Virginia Bar association, giving in de.
tail his views on the delay in the ad.
ministration of the law and sugges-
lions for reforms.
Judge Taft presented his subject by
stating that the end sought in the ad-
ministration of justice was to promote
tranquility and contentment among
the people. It had long been estab-
lished that the supreme court of the
United States was the ultimate ar
bitter of the great political and legal
issues, deciding on the limitations Of
both the legislative and executive
branches of the government, which
had carried the usefulness of the
courts beyond anything attempted in
other countries. outstanding this
desirable situation Mr.. Taft expressed
a doubt that our present administra-
ton of justice insured general pop
ular satisfaction with it's results.
""There are," he said, abundant
evidences that the prosecution of
criminals has not been certain and
thorough to a point of preventing pop
ular protest. The existence of lynch
ing in all parts of the country is di-
rectly traceable to this lack of uni
formity and thorough enforcement, of
our criminal laws" - -. +.
One remedy, Mr.. Taft said, must be
reform in our judicial procedure.
which now is too cumbersome. An
other would be more expedition on the
part of judges in rendering their opin-
ions. AS to appeals Mr.. Taft believes
that "the court of first instance and
the immediate appellate courts should
be for the purpose of finally dispos-
ing in just and prompt way of CON
tentions between litigants.

Vancouver, 3. c., Aug. The de

valley have now burned past the re

Michel, Hosmer and Cranbrook are
now out of the danger zone. .
The flames are still devastating the
timber region of the valley beyond
the settlements. These bush fires
may last a month, or until rain falls.
The total loss of life in the burned
area is now placed at thirty-eight and
the property damage is estimated at
between $5,0OO,00O and s6,OOO,0OO. Z

more and Nelson are still in these
places of refuge, but the men are
back at Fernie and have begun the
work of rebuilding the town.
Tents and supplies of food and
clothing have been received at Fernie
from many places and the people are
working strenuously. Nurses and
physicians are having a busy time
looking after the injured and taking
precautions to prevent pestilence
There are now two cases of small
pOX in Fernie ~. ..
The Fernie disaster has struck a
hard blow to the mining and smelling
industry of British Columbia.
The big smelters of the boundary
district, employing 1000 men, receive
the bulk Of their coke supplies from
the coke ovens and mines of the Elko
River valley and as all collieries in
that section are in such condition that
1t will require months to put them
back in a position to supply coal in
any quantity the shelters will be
forced to curtail their operations and
in some cases to shut down. This
would throw several thousand men
out of employment in the mines of
the interior.
