THE WESTERN UNION WILL IN.
AUGuRATE NEW SERVICE.

The Western Union Telegraph
company will inaugurate on the first
of March new form of telegraph
service called the day letter, which Is
believed will Immediately commend
itself as affording decided advant-
ages In ,telegraphic correspondence.
The dl aiter is designed TO be
the day on to the night let
ter, which tless many have al
ready used many occasions.
The ratA farged for a day letter
OF so word fcr less Is one and one
half times he night letter rate and
for each additional ten words or lcss
one-fifth the initial charge. For ex-
ample. the Richmond-Atlanta night
letter rate is so cents, the day letter
rate is one and one-half times that.
or IS cents. with Is cents FIR each
additional ten words. The Richmond
San Francisco night letter rate is 81,
the day letter rate $3.50, with 80
cents for each additional ten words.
Day letters are to be written in
plain English. thus avoiding the de-
lays and complications OF code words
filed at any time and are TO be trans
and code language. They may be
mitted as the facilities OF the CON-
pany may permit during business
hours. full rate kilograms having
priority OF transmission. As the
wires of the company are in much
demand during the midday hours ID
Is advisable that day letters be filed
as early in the day as possible.
Day letters will be accepted at All
Offices Of the Western Union for
transmission TO any Of It's Offices in
the United states.

Earth From Gold Hill Crashes

mates, 100000 cubic yards OF rock and
earth have just slid into the Pioneer
cut, opposite the town OF Culebra. II
is one of the worst slides the canal
engineers have had to contend with.
and 1t is worse than any previous
lslide. from the fact that others could
be explained, even We're predicted.
The latest avalanche of earth
changes the canal plans materially.
Il makes 1t seem necessary that the
|entire prism shall be enlarged suffi-
eiently TO prevent any occurrence of
the sort after the completion of the
canal. There seems to be no doubt
that all Of Gold Hill will have to be
removed. in itself considerable
undertaking. And 325,000 yards of
the slide itself represents waste. The
remainder 1t was intended to remove.
Engineers Are Disconnected.
Most disconcerting OF all the
theories which heretofore have served
to explain slides to the satisfaction
OF the engineers brains are pricked
Ike toy balloon. II always has been
held that slides were caused when
heavy rainfall made the earth soggy
and the sloping beds of rock beneath
slippery. When the weight oyercame
adhesion, and when the concussion
of the dynamite blasts gave final i'm
petus, 1t was believed the slides took
place. Bus the Gold Hill slide is with
out precedent. There have been no
heavy rains in this section for six
weeks, and there has been no blasting
lin the vicinity for more than year.
On the steep slope of Gold Hill, d.

In other words, on the east bank of
Culebra cut--a section 100 feet long
and from 20 10 100 feet wide dropped
into the cut. On the 135-foot level
was ledge. The slide started above
this ledge, which was completely de-
stroyed along the entire length OF the
slide, vast amount or material be-
ing forced clear down to and nearly
filling the pioneer drainage cut
Other Slides Give Trouble.
A few weeks ago large amount OF
earth and rock slid into the canal at
Las Cascades. a few miles north OF
Culebra town. A few miles south is
the great Cueharacha slide, which has
been giving trouble This makes Il
appear that the entire cut will have
to be widened sooner or later to a
large extent. In order 10 avoid serious
difficulty when the canal shall have
been competed. Until recent date
Il had been planned to run the line
Of the relocated Panama railroad
upon this bank OF the cut at Culebra,
but Col. Goethals finally made ar
to have the line con-
structed on the other side OF Gold Hill
