HEAVY INCREASE
IN CANAL COST
PANAMA OlTcH WILL REQUIRE
MUCH MORE THAN ORIGINAL
ESTIMATE.
REASONS FOR ADDITIONAL COST
Wider And Longer Locks, Greater
Excavations And Increased
Prices Of Labor.

2 WASHINGTON, Jan. IO.-Because
Of changed conditions from those exis'
ting in 1905, when the minority of the
Board of Consulting Engineers OF the
Panama Canal submitted it's report, II
is now admitted in responsible quar-
tiers that the estimate made by that
renort for building the canal was too
low, and that the cost may approx
mate 5000, 100000. This includes va
rious incidental items, such as admin
istration, sanitation and improve
ments aggregating several millions IN
Panama and Colon (which. however,
will be refunded by the Panama Gov
ernment). the expenses of the zone
government and various expenses IN
cidental to the relocation and acquisi-
ton of the Panama Railroad.
The estimate of the Board in 1908
was that the cost of the canal would
be $139. 765, 200, but this did not In
clude expenses on account OF interest,"
during construction, sanitation ana
zone government. Last spring the
nresent commission made some esti-
mate of the cost which resulted IN
placing 1t anywhere between $2lO,OOO'-
900 and $3.50, 1000, 900, but the more
conservative members believed the
lower figure would prove ultimately
correct. Since that time some OF the
Commissioners have found that a con-
siderable saving can be made from
the lower estimate, which warrants
them in placing the estimated cost at
nearer 5000 100000 than higher hg-
ure.
Various reasons are assigned Tor
the increased cost, including Wlder
ann longer locks than those proposed
nv the Board of Engineers, greater
quantity of excavation than that es
timated by the Board, an increase IN
| nnit Drices and higher prices for la
bor than those thought adequate oy
the Board. That Board estimated the
locks would cost less than $4OO0O,
900 While the present Commission
/ thinks it will be between $52,00O,OOl
and 6O,OOO,o6O, with a still greater
increase of 10 per cent if the locks
are further widened, as proposed by
| the Navy, Department.

NO FRICTION

WHATEVER.
ON MATTER OF IMMIGRATION
There is no Trouble And Cues
ton is Being Worked out
Smoothly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Gonsider
ing the smoothness with which ex,
changes are passing between Amer
lea and Japan, relative To the adjust
ment of questions growing out Of the
immigration of japanese laborers in
to the United States. the officials OF
the State Department. are puzzled to
account for the publication in various
foreign capitals. as well as in this
country, Of reports. calculated to con
vey the impression that there is seri-
Gus friction between the two countries
over this subject.
The latest of these reports, to the
effect that the Japanese Foreign or
fee is reluctant to acede TO de
mand" of Ambassador O'Brien that an
agreement to restrict Japanese coolie
immigration into the United States
be reduced to writing. meets with un-
qualified contradiction at the State
Department The officials do not care
to discuss negotiations Of this i'm
portance while they are still In prog
ress, following the general rule based
on belief that such discussion is cal
culated to defeat the obpects sought.
But it develops that what Mr..
O'Brien is doing is merely aiding Jap
anese officials to perfect internal reg
ulations that will serve to stop the
indiscriminate immigration evil. He
is not expected to negotiate any
treaty with Japan on this subject, or
even to secure modus Vivendi or any
thing in the nature of the written
agreement referred to in some OF the
press dispatches. He has, under in.
structions, acquainted the Japanese
| Government with the fact that the
measures adopted in Japan last spring

! the United States proved utterly in
effective The Japanese officials We're
surprised at the figures presented by
! Mr.. O'Brien Illustrating not only the
continuance of the coolie immigration
into America, but it's startling in
crease. Therefore these japanese of
ficials have been endeavoring to
frame regulations that shall be effec-
tive and in the course of that effort
they have naturally communicated
freely with the American Ambassa-
dor The latter has acquainted the
state Department by cable with the
nature of the proposed restrictive
measures and the department, in
turn, has not hesitated to suggest
amendments to the project, based up
on the experience of the immigration
inspectors and collectors OF customs
in this country.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 1.-Un-
less Gov. Patterson follows his usual
custom George Ragan. of Maury
county, will have TO serve six months
in the county work-house. The Gov
ernor has made 1t one Of his customs
to pardon persons convicted of boot
logging and the friends Of Ragan do
not seem to be downcast over the
action of the Supreme Court in affirm
ing the case against him. The SUI
preme Court today affirmed the case
against George Raglan and John W.
Witherspoon, of Maury county, con-
victed of selling liquors and given
sentences of six months in the work
house.
These cases have attracted consid-
able attention because Of the promi'
hence of Ragan who is q man OF prop
erty. 1t is expected that he will at
once make an appeal TO the Governor
Patterson Is making an especial plea
for the bootlegger vote and will prob
ably lose no time in corraling Raglan
and his crowd.
The court also decided the two
cases of Geo. Nichols vs. s. M. Flem'
ing. Nichols Won both cases. IN the
case where the lower court had given
him a decree there was an afirmance
and In the other a reversal.
The five year sentence OF Frank
Mays of Maury county, charged with
arson and the ten year sentence OF
Hills Edmundson of Giles county
charged with felonious assault, were
both affirmed.
