cHAuTAuouAN IN BAD:
Enthusiasm 10 on the Wane and Fees
Are Being Lowered.
Special Correspc

Especial correspondence
Washington, July 9.-Lo! the poor
chautauquan! 1t certainly is bad
season for him.
In the first place the scale is being
beared. Managers are not paying so
much as they used to pay, because
there has got to be too much competi-
ton. In the next place, there are con-
siderable sections in which the enthusi-
asm about the chautauqua orators is
not SO intense as it used to be.
But that isn't nearly all the chau-
tauquan's trouble. The truth is that
large proportion OF the chautauqua
stars are so busy looking after the
mending Of certain fences at home that
they just can't take the time to earn
their easy coin on the platform.
About the scale.
In the early days OF the game, $3.50
to $500 a night was easy for stars.
This year several second raters who
rather imagined that they ought to be
in the first rank, have made their con-
tracts at $50 night and expenses.
and felt fortunate to get that.
The trouble is that statesmen are
getting differentiated 20 acuteiy. Sen

dependent statesman; Senator LaBol-
lette, Senator Bristow, Senator Cum
minis. and a few other stars are re-
puted good for 5000 night and ex-
penses as long as they are willing to
stay on the circuit. Then there are
few men who could name their own
prices IL they would go out. Speaker
Cannon is one; folks want to see wheth-
er he really has horns or not. Same
way with Senator Aldrich. Governor
Hughes would be worth $500 night
for sixty nights; but he hasn't the time
to go out.
The chautauqua manager who banks
on star to put over his course, and
then loses the big noise, is a candidate
for the attention of a whole corps OF
altenists. One manager out west signed
up a leading statesman for this sum-
mer, and then the statesman got a
stomach disorder and saw his doctor.
Not any chautauqua doings for
yours" said the doctor after examin7
ing him. It'll put you out of bust
ness"
But, Doc" expostulated the patriot,
1--WE signed up
Cant help it: you'll die before Oc-
tober If you do that circuit"
And need the money, too; powerful
bad, Doc; can't you let me?'
Nothing doing: if you go out lee
turing, you get new doctor"
And the statesman gave it up. Now
he's threatened with suit for breach
Of contract.
ct was 5000 a night and an early
autumn funeral, against poverty and
a lawsuit; it took the poverty and law
suit end" he said.

ELDoN WOMAN is MISSING.
Miss FIoy Murphy Was Last Seen in
Ottumwa June s.

Ottunwa. July 9-Since the night of
June 6 Miss Floy Murphy Of Eldon. Ia,
has been missing and her parents, ag-
ed residents OF that city, are greatly
worried over her nonappearance.
Monday, June s, Miss Murphy came
to Ottumwa from her home in Eldon
to do some shopping and before return
ing stopped at the Sullivan fats to
visit Mrs. William Jordan, an intimate
friend That night Mrs. Jordan ac-
companied her friend part way to the
depot and that was the last seen of the
missing woman.
The matter was finally placed In the
hands Of the Ottumwa police. and they
are andeavoring to locate Miss Murphy.
Relatives have inquired of other rela-
tives and efforts Of the authorities have
proved futile.
Miss Murphy, who for number of
years conducted millinery store there,

DIGGING THE CANAL.
Work on cuIebra Cut to Be Finished
in 1912.

| Special to Times-Republican.
+ Washington, July S.-One of the
facts in connection with the excavation
| of the Panama canal that gives much
encouragement for the early completion
of the great waterway is that the
amount of dirt removed does not les
! sen as sthe bottom Of the ditch is
reached
! This has been one of the chief ques-
| lions in connection with the time of
completion. 1t has been generally sup
! posed that as the bottom Of the ditch
was reached, or the bottom OF the canal
prism as the official language has it.
the rate of excavation would become
much slower. This is not borne out
by developments thus far.
The latest report Of the canal COM
mission, as given by Acting Chairman
H. F. Hodges, in fact shows the exact
contrary. All along, interest In the
question of amount of excavation has
conferred In the Culebra cut The latest
available figures on excavation are
those for the month OF May. The
total amount of material excavated
from the prism In the cu!ebra section
of the canal in May. 1910. was l,o9s,279
cubic yards. This was the highest
record in that section for the month
of May. the highest previous record
for that month having been in May,
1909 when 1.oS2.217 cubic yards were
removed.
The statistics show that the average
output per shovel day for the entire
length of the canal was nearly six
tenths of / per cent greater in May
of this year than in the corresponding
month Of the previous year.
In the Culebra cut there are about
&c, O0O.o00 cubic yards of material to
be removed. whereas over 4s.0OO.o0O
cubic yards have been removed. This
is the backbone of the canal. When
1t is dug out, the way will be well-n1gh
opened for the transit Of vessels across
the isthmus. Even at the rate OF ex-
cavation in May, the Culebra cut would
be dug out by the end of 1912. But as
the rate year averages considerably
better than that, it may be expected
the Culebra cut Will be dug out before

wELLmAN TO FLY OVER SEA.
Will Attempt to Cross Atlantic i
nir;a;bIa Railoon

Will Attempt to Cross Atlantic ir
Dirsibie Balloon.
New York, July s.-Walter Wellman
and Melvin vaniman will attempt this
coming fail to cross the Atlantic ocean
in the dirigble balloen America. which
was built for the Wellman polar expet
dition and has twice been tested IN
voyages over the Arctic ocean north OF
Spitzbergen-
The attempt will be made solely on
the responsibility of the aeronauts, but
the New York Times. the Chicago Rec
ord Herald and the London Daily
Telegram have arranged TO buy the
news of the expedition, which Will be
transmitted by wireless from the air
ship.
The America will be housed at At
lantic City, n. j.. during its prelimi-
nary trial. A shed to shelter it has
already been contracted for. and hydro
gen gas apparatus to initiate its gas
bags has been shipped from Paris This
shelter, or hanger as it is technically
known, will be ESQ feet long, so feet
wide and 50 feet high
The America will carry crew OF
six men, including the wireless opera
tor, and 1900 gallons of gasoline in
steel tank. Equipped for days run
she could carry seventy-tive passen-
gers in eddkion to her full crew. In
size she ranks second only to the latest
Zeppelin eirship. Two engines will
drive her, one OF 1880 horse power for
ordinary duty, and one of 300 horse
power for emergency service, when
high speed is needed. A little ten horse
power motor takes the place OF a
donkey engine aboard ship for small
offices.
The quantity. of fuel carried gives
the air ship greater radius OF action
than the distance from New York to
Europe and study of prevailing
winds during the season at which it Is
proposed 10 make the passage shows
that they lie parallel to the eastbound
course laid down by Atlantic lines.
Even If the net effect of the winds
should prove unfavorable, it is esti-
mated by the aeronauts' that the fuel
would hold out for the full distance
Wellman and Vaniman are by no
means sure that their attempt will BE-
successful, but they think the chances
are good enough to warrant at least a
trial. They plan to start late In Au-
gust or early in September from base
near New York, not yet selected.

LAHoRlrEs WRECK PLANT.
Bomb Destroys New Building Of Har-
vester Company in Chicago.

Chicago, July S.-Sympathizers with
union iron workers and sheet meta
workers are believed by the police &c
be responsible for a dynamite explos-
ion that wrecked several tons of stee
window frames on the premises OF the
Mccormick works of the international
Harvester Company at West Thirty
first and Rockwell streets.
The explosion, at midnight Wednes-
day, blew the frames into the air and
left them on the ground bent and
twisted mass of scrap iron.
Investigation at the scene of the ex-
plosion disclosed that the bomb fiends'
placed four sticks of dynamite under
the piles of steel. Three Of them blew
up and the fourth was found several
feet away with burnt out fuses. The
detonation was heard within radius
of three blocks of the place.
So great was the force of the ex-
pIosion that deep holes were torn In
the earth and some OF the steel was
blown 900 feet. Many bent and twisted
frames were found on tract OF land
adjoining the factory site and given by
Mr.. Mccormick for a children's play
ground.
Business agents Of the sheet metal
workers appeared at the job two days
ago and are said to have threatened
the non-un,on men from Philadelphia
unless they quit work. The non-union
men at that time were engaged in at
taching hinges to the steel frames pre-
paratory to placing them in the win
dow openings.
you fellows had better go back to
Philadelphia" the business agents are
reported to have said. You have no
right to come here and take the work
belonging to union men. If you don't
quit, there viii be trouble"
The non-union men reported the
threat to the foreman on the job, but
because of the fact that there were
only four nom union men at work 1t
was believed that nothing serious
would result.
The steel frames were shipped to
Chicago by David Lppton & Son, a
Phila delphia steel concern operating an
open shop" With the frames were
sent a force of non-union iron workers
to erect them, because OF the impos-
sibility to obtain union iron and sheet
metal workers in Chicago who will
work with non-union material.

The government report Indicated that

destroyed by the drouth. The jump in
quotations would undoubtedly have
been much greater but for the fact
that rain was at last reported as fall

kotas and Minnesota, where the worst
damage has been inflicted. A big ad-
vance in Liverpool and admission there
that the government report had ex-

here. Profit taking, however, assumed
large proportions. The market ac-
