PANAMA CANAL.
President Transmits Message and Re.
 port of Engineers.

Washington, Feb. 17-President Roosevelt sent a message to congress submitting the report of the engineers who recently visited Panama. The president said any attack made here after on a lock type canal 'is in reality an attack on the policy of building any canal at all" The report, RoOse- welt says, shows in the clearest fash ion that congress was wise in the posi- tiOn it took and that it would be the clearest folly to change from a lock to sea level. He says the only criti- cism against the work at Panama is that sometimes there has ben an ex- cess of caution in providing against possible trouble. He says it shows that the Gatun dam is safe, but also the report recommends that the height be reduced to twenty feet, which change, the president says, he accord inly directed. The engineers report says the type of dam now under con struction meets entire approval" They are satisfied there will be no objec- tionable seepage under the base of the dam, and also that the foundation is sufficiently firm. The estimate of the complete cost of the canal is S360,- GOO, 0,OOO He comments the medical and sanitary features and believes the ca nal will be completed January 1, 1915, or earlier.

 General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- ceilent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-I Informed To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

FORCING JOINT RATE.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The taking of evidence in the fight between the government and the Hartman rail roads in the Pacific northwest was begun today by Interstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty. The contest, regarded as one of the most important to come before the commission in years, is to enforce an order of the commission directing the Northern Pacific to participate with the Harri- man lines in making a through rate from Missouri and Mississippi river points to Portland, Ore. One of the important points involved is the right of the commission to compel compet- ing railroads to join in making through rates.

FAVORABLE COMMENT
In British Press on Prompt Relief for
Earthquake Sufferers.

London, Jan. 4.-The civilized world
Fastening to the aid, officially and I'M
officially of afflicted Italy And the
splendid generosity Of the American
people and government" are the sub
jects of eulogistic comment in the
English papers, which urge the British
government to follow this example.
Some fears are expressed that fav
orable response by the government to
this appeal might have the effect of
drying up the front of private benevol-
ence.
No action in this matter can be talk
en- until Parliament re-aSsembles, but
it is expected that Premier Asquith
will then propose parliamentary
grant.
From many capitals including
Athens, Belgrade, Bucharest and
Canea, come dispatches recording votes
for donations from Parliaments, NUM-
cipal and other public bodies. The
city of Vienna is organizing q large
relief expedition.

the rate of nearly $4,000 daily.

eyes. There was a roar like hundred
cascades falling from a height. Our
terror lasted only moment and we
were soon climbing the heap of rub

guided by the cries of distress. We
dragged forth the family of the sta
ton master, all of whom were terribly
injured
meanwhile the shocks continued and
the sea gathered itself into will of
water destroying everything it touch

completed our work of rescue at the

words fail to illustrate. We We're
reused from our work by shouts and
found ourselves in the embrace of the
rest of our companions. who had es-
capped from the seminary. In the joy of
the reunion, we all fell on our keens

a ship could be chartered by telegraph at
Marseilles or Genoa and loaded with
blankets, clothing. linen, preserved
meats, condensed milk, medical supplies

ENDS IN RIOT.
Socialist Speaker Causes Trouble at
Meeting to Raise Funds for Sufferers.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. "a mass meet

evening to raise funds for the Italian
earthquake sufferers ended in riot
during which the police were called
and cleared the hall
The meeting was held in Lastars
hall and was attended by some 400
foreigners. The needs of the suffering
Italians were explained by a member
of the New England Italian Relief
Fund Committee from Boston. Mr.
Francheschini, and other speeches
along the same line followed.
Before the time came to solicit the
subscriptions Giovanni Sullow, a
prominent local Socialist, arose and
addressed the chair. He was not ut

the assistance of followers, until he
was given the platform. So far as the
needs of the Italian earthquake suffer-

raising money he was completely in

tack upon the Italian government and
charged that half the fund raised for
the last earthquake sufferers had been
misapplied by the government and
likewise arraigned the Italian Red

the employment of the Italian labor
unions as the only safe and secure
means of properly distributing the
funds raised in America.
The arraignment of the Italian gov

supporters of the speaker, but the re-

During the hubbub someone grabbed

SUDDENNESS OF FIRST SHOCK
Cause Of Most of the Casualties al
Messina-No Chance to Escape.

Catania, Jan. 3-The system of res
cue work in Messina has been great

who are to be seen all over the ruined
city in squads of 20 and 80 patrolling
day and night without rest. Bodies of
them also are working in the ruins by

The movement of refugees from the
nearby villages is daily increasing in
volume and large numbers of persons

the victims buried under the ruins,
comparatively few have been rescued
alive.
1t is now clear that the great num-
Der OF casualties in Messna were due
to Tie Suddenncss with which the first
shock came, giving but little time to
the people to escape from their homes
Tho tidal wave was not so high as
was at first reported and would have
done little damage had it not been
preceded by the earthquake. The dam

ly insignificant. The first earth shock
last Monday evening literally threw
down the city and almost every street
was completely buried under the falling
walls and heavy furniture and other
contents of houses thrown into them
cutting off every aTenueof escape FOR
all those persons who were not caught
beneath the collapsed structures
Then came the tidal wave to mum
date the city and the living and dying
were caught like rats and drowned or

part of the city escared, in some sec

tour a most careful examination was
made of the American consulate. 1t is
a complete ruin-nothing but a heap OF
crumbling and crushed stones-with-
