PRODUCE.

The market for the week opened very
quiet IN all departments with prices
about the same as last week Poultry
was the principal exception. nearly al
kinds being higher on very light re-
ceipts. Rabbits were also higher or
light receipts. Local conditions In the
butter market are decidedly heavy. the
market being over-supplied with dairy
and separator grades. while there Is nc
shortage of creamery stock. Outside
markets are steady. however, which
holds this market up. Hogs and calves
are steady to firm, and fresh vegetables
were IN fair demand.

ARRIVES AT YARD
1t Is Fifty-three Feet Long and Dis
charges 363-Pound
Shells.

The largest and most powerful gun
ever built for the United States Navy
arrived at the Washington navy yard
today.
The new gun is a l+inch piece; 5S1k
feet long. and discharges a ]. 1.40O-pOund
shell, with a normal charge of 363
pounds Of smokeIess powder. It's range
Is - miles and at this distance the
shell would pierce an 1l-inch belt of
Krupp steel, and could pierce the ar
NOR plate OF the heaviest battleship
adOat.
Every discharge will cost $780, and as
the powder now used In the navy causes
comparatively little erosion the life of
the gun Is virtually unlimited.
AS II weighs more than siXty-thrce
tons, two cars We're required to trans
part il from the plant of the Afidvals
Steel Company, In Pennsylvania, which
firm constructed the gun.
As soon as the gun is made ready for
the firing tests. Il viii be loaded on a

are much interested ia the outcome Of
the trials. for If they are success the
new gun viii replace the present y

battleships.

RECORDED TODAY
St. Ignatius Seismograph IN
dicateS Earthquake in vi
cinity of Japan and China.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 10-Father Oden-
bach's seismOgraph at St Ignatius' Col
lege Observatory recorded an earth
quake today, which lasted twenty-nine
minutes. Father Ocenbaeh says It was
between 1900 and 1900 miles distant,
and likely In Japan or China. The ini-
tial shock was recorded at 1875 a. m.
The main shock began at 1853 and last
ed until 1:21. and the final initial was
record ed at 1850 a. m.
Tho shock was peculiar said Father
Odenbach. 'in that it was most pro-
nounced from east to west. The ma
jority of the quakes are from north TO
south"
The earthquake recorded in Cleveland
was also registered on the seIsmOgraph
of the Weather Bureau The officials
there say IL was not a violent disturb

Democrats and Republicans
Determined TO Name
Investigators.
.SULZER IMPORTANT
FIGURE IN THE WORK
New York Representative Can
Throw Much Light on Alleged
Cannon Pact.

That the Democrats of the House
will cooperate with the Parsons Re
publicans to obtain an investigation
of the alleged Cannon-McCanen
pact, and that a fight viii be made
to have the investigation committee
elected by the House instead of ap-
pointed by the Speaker, are state
ments made today by Democratic
Representatives who have arrived in
Washington.
If, as is charged, Cannon made a
deal with McCanen whereby the old
rules of the House were to be saved
through Democratic votes, and the
Tammany organization was to re-
ceive certain favors, any investigat-
ing committee will be confronted
with a sufficiently hard task.
WOULD BE FARCE.
This is the argument of the Dem
ocrats who want to see the whole
thing aired. and they take the fur
ther ground that it would be a
farce to have the Speaker appoint
a committee to investigate him
self.
''We Just as we'll might have no
investigation at ALL" said one of
these Democrats today. what we
want. and the thing we will fight
for. is the election by the House
of the investigating committee. OF
viously, If the Democrats and the
Republican supporters of Mr.. Par
sons, Of New York. have the votes
70 compel the investigation, they
viii have strength enough to elect
a committee which will do some
real investigating.
And, in my opinion, this will be
the only satisfactory way Of hand
ling what appears 10 be a horrible
Sulzer's Testimony Important.
From another Democrat comes the
that Representative William
SuIzer OF New York can throw a lot
of light on the pact whicn was made
at the expense Of the public. According
10 this informant, Mr.. Sulzer declared
on the day that he was called on the
telephone from New York:
They can't deliver me against my
own party. I'm going 70 vote the way
I believe. I won't be made a party to
any such an arrangement
Il was also declared that 1t was from
Mr.. Sulzer that the first intimation Of
the Cannon-McCarren pact was OBJ
tained.
Mr.. Sulzer is noted as a man or scru-
pulous honesty and as a New York
Representative who stands independent
Of Taumany Halls diCtation. It was
noted that he did not vote with the
other Tammany Democrats and that
he stood by his declaration that ne
could not be delivered ag zinst his ovr,
party.

ON BOARD S. S. CRISTO-
BAL (of Coast of Cuba), Nov. 10.
Unless the Panama Canal Com
mission is prepared most definitely
and unqualifedly to demonstrate the
need, its request for an increase Of
S14o0o,o0o in its appropriation for
the fiscal year 1911 viii not be
granted by the House Appropria-
tons Committee.
Chairman Tawney today notified
Chief Engineer Goethals, by wire
less, that the committee viii make
very thorough and detailed rath-
er than a perfunctory inspection Of
the canal. The Officials viii be re-
quired to demonstrate clearly, on4fe
ground, that they need the ingeased
appropriation.
The sentiment of the committee
IS very plainly that the canal bailas
ers will require the closest attention
from the committee that they may
not reach deeper into the Federal
Treasury than is absolutely needful,
and this attention will be given, even
to the most minute detail.
ASKS MUCH MORE.
The appropriation for 1910 is
s33. OBS. 600. against which the COM
mission asks s4S, ,063. .524 for the sue
ceeding year. The largest increase
asked is for equipment, supplies.
and the like. for which nearly s10.-
100000 more is wanted for 1911
than for 1910 The next largest in
crease is for skilled and unskiIled
labor, for which SIS. 200. 600 is ask
ed. an increase Of about $4,000, 600.
The commission itself is asking

not including the wages OF skilled
and unshlled labor. The work Of
sanitation is in such good condition
that only a comparatively small in
crease is asked for It. For the
continued equipment and recon
struction Of the Panama railroad a
total of s1,400,000. OF double the
current years appropriation. is ask
ed. The organization for the civil
administration of the zone is so
well established that only s104, 900
is asked for building expenses and
which is $4,000 less than
for the current year.

The work OF relocating the Panama
railroad will cost, according TO the com
