public.
Governor Stubs, commenting on
the call, said:

are entitled to any increase in their

ANNUAL ~ENcAMPMENT.
Grand Army of Republic Is Holding
Its Reunion,

1rand Army OF Republic Is Holding
Its Reunion.
Atlantic City, Sept. 19.-The innum.
cradle activities of the national en-.
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic began today when the ma
tlonal headquarters were formally
open on the ocean pier at the foot OF
Tennessee avenue.
The temperature is pleasant, but
heavy clouds, that rolled in from the
ocean made the air damp and indicated
rain. Things were early astir at the
pier n veterans who had not seen
each other in many years held reunions,
Ihere were expressions Of jo/ to see
old comrades again and many moments
u sorrow when some soldiers found
that dear old friends had gone to their
final rest.
Inc big crowd already here, was
swelled by an inflow Of thousands OF
veterans, from all parts of the country
on the morning trains.
The reunion of he P%hilade1phis
brigade on Steeple Chase pier and the
meeting of Col. Hilary A. Herbert
of President Cleveland's cabi-
net and a confederate officer, with
Commander-in-Chie Van SAINT and
General Sickles, are still talked Of
among the hundreds of veterans.
1t is probable that the proposition
made by Colonel Herbert to brine
about a great meeting of. the blue and
gray, will be considered during the
week with the object Of CARRYING ont
the suggestion.

Two Roads Have Filed Evidence.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Announce-
ment, was made by the interstate
commerce commission today that Com
missioners Clements, Line and Clark
and possibly Prouty, would occupy the
bench when the hearing of the west
ern freight advance was resumed Mon
day in Chicago. Commissioner Glenn
ents will be the presiding commits
sioner, in the absence OF Chairman
Knapp, who will be detained in Wash
ington by urgent business.
Thus far only two railroads, Of the
nineteen directly interested in ad-
vances, have submitted their evidence
in the western case and the hearing
is likely to continue for several weeks
1t is probable that testimony in
analysis of the preliminary evidence,
together with oral arguments in the
matter, will be heard in Washington,
probably in October.

GRUESOME DISPLAY
Did Not Prevent Large Crowds at the
Crippen Trial.

London, Sept. 16.-Dr. VIM. Wilcox,
scientific analist to the home office
who discovered a deadly drug in the
body found in the home OF DR.. Hawley
II. Crippen, took the stand when the
trial of the doctor and his typist,
Ethel Clare Leneve, for the murder Of
the formers wife, was continued to-
day and swore unqualiiedly that the
death was due to poison.
The physician described the nature
Of the medicine used and said that
from a quarter to a half grain would
prove fatal. He had found two
sevenths Of a grain after a lapse of
from four to eight months and Judged
that more than half a grain had been
administered. He found no other
cause Of death and expressed the
opinion that the victim survived the
dose an hour or more.
Before DR.. Wilcox was called, the
crown introduced medical testimony
to c~orroborate that given on We'd
nesday by Prof. Augustus j. Pepper,
p~athologist of university Of London,
who swore that the body had beer
dismembered by n familiar with

FOR CANAL
NEEDED FoRTIFIcATIONS WILL
COST ABOUT FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
PLANS OF president TAFT
Expected That Both Terminals Of Pam
anna Will Be Fortified-Main
Pacific Fort Will Be
ono Sosa Hill.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Plans for the
fortifiction Of the Panama canal at a
cost of $14,140, 900. an increase Of So
276,5 21 over. the estimate submitted in
1905 by the National Coast Defense
board, Of which President Taft was
then chairman, was sent to Congress
last April.
The proposed expenditure refers only
to 'seacoast defenses for the terminus
of the CANAL" but it is also planned
TO provide means Of defending the por-
tions of the canal other than the ter
minal from attacks to which those
portions might be subjected by forces
operating on land with the object
either of getting possession of the
canal or of injuring the locks, dams,
etc,
Twenty five million dollars is a con-
sentative estimate of what the final
plans of the s%eacoast and land de-
fences will call for. and it is thought
by some that s4o,O 0 900 will be nearer
the final sum required for the defense.
The plans of President Taft call for:
Ten 4-inch, rifles, twelve 6-inch rifles,
tWenty-eight 12-inch mortars, besides
an elaborate system of submarine de-
lenses.
Six OF the 14-inch rtfes-the most
powerful gun in the world-will be
placed on the Pacific coast, and four on
the Atlantic in pairs.
lthouh the greatest secrecy Is
maintained concerning the fortifcation
plans, 1T is known that the main fort
defending the Pacific entrance will be
built on Sosa hill and armed with
o 14-inch rifles, six 6-inch rifles and
eight 12-inch mortars. This will be
named Fort Amador, after the first
president Of the republic of Panama.
Two other 14-inch rifles will be plac-
ed on Ancon hill, with smaller artillery
and the islands OF Naos and Perico in
the Bay of Panama will also be forti-
fed with the object Of. enabling an
American fleet to pass through the
canal and form in line of battle on the
Pacific side, outside the range of any
gun on a ship that can come within
range of the guns on the islands, which
in turn will be protected and com
manded by the guns of Sosa and An
con hills.
This plan was adopted on the sug-
gestion of Admiral Evans, who pointed
out that no matter what Notifications
were built a fleet passing through the
cana would have to come out one by
m and it would be impossible for a
fleet to pass from one ocean to another
IT there was a hostile fleet awaiting it,
the hostile fleet could destroy the yes-
sells as they came out.

Cholera Has Claimed 100000.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 16.-The cholera
epidemic, which originated in southern
Russia and already has claimed more
than 100000 victims, is stretching it's
way across Asiatic Russia and today
was officially declared to threaten the
province Of Amur in southeast Siberia,
separated by the Amur river from
Manchuria.
The reports now in possession Of the
sanitary bureau show a total for the
season Of 1S2,327 cases, with 1858
deaths. These include the early re-
turns for the week ending Sept. 10 and
the revised figures for the preceding
week. Yesterday there were fifty-four
new cases and nineteen deaths in the
city of st. Petersburg. This brings the
total number in the capital up to $3.50
cases and 1910 deaths.
