Washington, Feb. 20-That John Mitchell, the retiring president of the United Mine Workers of America may be asked by President Roosevelt to go to Panama and to report on labor conditions there. is one of the results which may accrue from a con ference on Panama affairs at the White house to-day. The president Secretary Taft and Colonel Goethals considered not only the labor phase of the isthmian situation. but many oth- CTS. Colonel Goethals received final Instructions and will sail for the isth- mus next week.
 No conclusion was reached as to the appointment of Mr. Mitchell and it is understood that James Bronson Key holds also was considered for the same work. Thes necessity of having accur- ate information on labor conditions on the Isthmus has been emphasized re- gently by numerous minor complaints which are coming to Washington. It is considered desirable also to have expert information on the matter in which the reforms ordered as result of the investigation of Miss Betts have been made effective

Almost everyone is aware how diffi- cult it is to obtain pure OLIVE OIL.

"The jubilation which will rise Monday afternoon at about o'clock when the first Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad train pulls into the Louisville and Nashville station, will be the jolliest and most whole-hearted affair ever wit messed here,' said member of the com mittee.
 1t will be seen, because thousands are going to crowd the line as the eight coaches brand new, spick and span, steam into the city, and the depot will be one mass of waving, rejoicing humanity.
 Tt will be heard, because, when the train reaches the outskirts every whistle that ever blew will join in the noise of welcome. All laws against the disturb ance will be laid aside, and every man ner of whistle will join the general melee
 The occasion will be deeply felt, be- cause the people of the state realize the great importance of this new trunk line. They value the biggest industrial under taking accomplished at one fell swoop in the south within, 20 years at it's full worth, and everybody will join heart and soul in the celebration. As a tribute to ability and success under the hardest cir cumstances, the plans for this occasion are being made along the most elabo- rate lines."

Strono Iron Market.

The pig iron market is strong with an upward tendency in prices. It is said that nothing is quoted here under SIS on a No. basis. Few contracts have been made for 1909 delivery but inquiries are very active. For first half $14 is talked and some sales agents say even higher level may be regarded as not unreason- able. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for the current week says:
 ''The month just closed was an excel lent indication of improved conditions and better outlook. Sales are of fair ton mage. prices are firm with, in some cases. an advance over two weeks ago and buyers seem to be melting an increased tonnage.
 'There is some irregularity in northern prices. but in the south there is more harmony and prices are stronger. There have been some good sales made of northern and southern iron recently, which have tended to improve the situa- ton.
 "There has been better buying by the railroads, both as to rails and equlp- ment Furnaces are reluctant to quote for business after January l. and when doing so prices are invariably higher and it is hard to get together with buy CTS ideas for next year at the present time There has been free inquiry for 1909 and considerable iron has been bought In most instances buyers seem to have had a decided advantage in these transactions

A "VAMPlRE" OF THE SOUTH.

From the New York Times
 The uncinaria, or hook worm, the cause of 'lazy sickness" according to their state board of health afflicts from 1500OO to 100000 Georgians. The Atlanta Constitution calls this parasitic legacy fof the African slave trade "a southern vampire and upon expert information and belief scouts the suggestion that it is perfervid fancy, or a product of folk lore and superstition.
 The state authorities are hampered by the unbelief of the people and by the very simplicity of the plan by which they hope to destroy the plague the death rate from which they calculate to be greater Nhan that from tuberculosis and pneumonia combined. The uncinaria is picked up in its embryo stage by bare footed children and from the integument of the foot reaches the vital organs grow into siclxly, bloodless, indolent, and stupid adults The ignorance of the ne- groes and poor whites precludes the cure, which can be had in one or two doses of thymol. Prevention of the re- entry of the hook worm into the system is accomplished by wearing shoes. The state provides free diagnosis and treat ment. Perhaps Georgia and other south ern states may in time pass laws mak- ing the wearing of shoes compulsory.

Constitutional Rule for China

One year ago an edict from the Elm peror of China promised the grant of constitutional government of the mod ern sort at the end of ten years. An annual edict in those ten years of prep aration tells what progress has been made towards constitutionalism and suggests what further steps should be taken. The first of the annuals has just been issued. The progress of a year is considered satisfactory.
 The Chinese are naturally conserva- tive, with an inborn reverence for GUS tom and precedent It is a mistake to consider them ignorant. They are sim ply out of both date and line. They the teachings of Confucius. China has accepted the wisdom of her great phi losopher all down through the cen turies.
 A people that naturally reverts to the past may be slow in accepting new ideas and new methods, but a tutelage of ten years will accomplish a great deal. Nor need one fear that so vast an electorate will act rashly. The spirit of Confucius forbids. He taught loyalty and respect for law above all else. The Chinese, too, have an object lesson in Japan, and the only fear as to the outcome relates to the greed of western states. If they will keep their hands off China will attain to consti- tutionalism in an orderly and peaceful manner, and perhaps Japan will be able to see that her big neighbor has a square chance.
