Italy's Announcement of Participation
in Frisco Fair.

Rome, Feb. 2S.-The intention of
Italy to participate officially in the
Panama exposition at San Francisco
was communicated to Thomas Nelson
Page, United States ambassador to
Italy.
The notification to the ambassador,
however, differs considerably from
that made to Ira Nelson Morris, the
commissioner from the exposition,
which was absolutely unconditional
The note to Ambassador Page con-
tains the reserve clause that Italy
could not exercise the friendly act of
participating in the exposition if in
the meanwhile the American immigra-
ton bill should be passed with
clauses such as that calling for the
carrying of American health officials
on board Italian steamers.

THE PROPHETS
COMPOUNDED
PREDICTION THAT CANAL WOULD
COST a BILLION DOLLARS HAS
BEEN Observation-Disclosures
KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO
EXPECT.

There are a lot of prophets in the
United States who will have to eat crow
during the next year or two. One Of
them declaring that it would cost d
billion dollars to build The Panama
Canaland that his experience as an
engineer in Chicago had proved il.
Colonel GOethals has struck his oTlgl-
nal estimates of 1908, and the billion
dollar gentleman may go hang while
the world celebrates the removal of
81, 900 600 cubic yards Of material at
no greater outlay than it was esti-
mated that 1875. 10000 cubic yards
could be removed for.
Then there are the fellows who saw
in the slides the Waterloo OF American
ambition at Panama. As a matter of
fact the canal engineers experienced
far more trouble from the effect that
those slides had on the American
mind than from its effects on the can
al work itself They knew that bull
dog persistency would tell the story,
but the people seemingly did not be
lieve them.
AS a matter Of fact there never has
been a piece Of work where engineers
have taken nothing for granted so
much as at Panama. They have known
all along that they had to face great
difficulties but they knew that they
had a solution for every one Of them.
The completed canal is the worlds
greatest engineering project as well as
its safest. The literature OF the con-
struction period is filed with pessimiS-
tic prophecy, but the success OF the
undertaking has been as great as the
forebodings were gloomy. The whole
story of the canal is best told in the
new book by Frederick J. Haskin.

HISTORY OF MARTHA
WASHINGTON WILL
Morgan Tells How Document
Game Into His Possession.

Washington.-The first authoritative
explanation Of the manner in which J
Pierpont Morgan came into possession
Of the Martha Washington will, to re
gain the custody of which the Cover
nor and citizens of Virginia have
threatened legal measures, was given
out by Mr.. Morgan.
"The will of Martha Washington was
taken from the Fairfax courthouse in
1862" Mr.. Morgan said, "by colonel
of the Union army, who rescued it
from destruction by his men. This
officer retained it in his possession for
thirty years and shortly before his
death in 1892 gave it to his daughter
who, thirteen years later, in 1905. sold
it to the late J. Pierpont Morgan.
This account she related at the
time of the transfer. She stated that
her fathers regiment garrisoned Fair
fax Court House in 1862 and that he
had headquarters in the courthouse
Another command had previously occu-
pied the place, and the men had bro
ken open the safes. The floors were
Uttered with papers which the colo
nel's men used in making fires. Enter
ing headquarters one day he found
his men shoveling papers into a stove
He stopped them, and in examining
the papers found the Martha Washing
ton will.
'4Ie carefully preserved the docu.
ment throughout his life, and on the
eve of his death gave it to his daugh
ter"
The correspondence shows that Mr..
Morgan suggested to the governor OF
Virginia two plans for the preserva
ton and exhibition of the Martha
Washington will. One is that Mr..
Morgan would present the will for
public exhibition at Mount Vernon,
the other is that the will be preserved
by the congressional library at Wash
ington. With both of these suggestions
Mr. Morgan couples another. that
George Washington's will, now Vir-
ginia's property, be exhibited with it.

Paris. A suggestion is made in
the current Revue Bleue for the pur-
pose of bringing the chronological
system into line with the decimaliza-
ton of money, weights and distance.
The new proposal involves the diyi-
sion Of the day into twenty periods,
called hores, instead Of twentyfour
hours. each hore being similarly divid-
ed into fifty periods, called chrones,
each chrone-about one and half
minutes-being the thousandth part OF
a day-as the gram and the meter are
the thousandth part, respectively, of the
kilogram and kiometer. The chrones
are further subdivided into cent?
chrones, the equivalent of a second.
The deviser Of the plan asserts that
the new system would facilitate ma
rine observation. besides simplifying
calculations of time generally. The
French government. however, shows
no inclination to adopt the idea.
