Baltimore, Md, Feb. President
Woodrow Wilson, in letter to Will
liam l.. Marbury, of this city, which
is published in the Baltimore Sun to-
day, says the exemption OF American
coastwise shipping from Panama ca
nal tolls CONSTITUTES a very mistaken
policy from every point of view," and
benefits, for the present at any rate,
only a monopoly" The President
also pays high tribute to Secretary
of State Bryan, who, he says, deserves
mot only our confidence, but our af-
fectionate admiration"
"With regard to the question of ca
nal tolls Constitutes a very mistaken
ion is very clear. The exemption con-
stitutes very mistaken policy from
every point of view. It is economical
ly unjust; as matter of fact it bene-
fits, for the present at any rate only
monopoly; and it seems to me in
clear violation of the terms of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. There is, of
course, much honest difference of
opinion as to the last point, as there,
is no doubt to the others; but it is at
least debatable, and if the promises

AGAIN DEBATE
RACE QUESTION
ARGUMENTS OF SENATORS
GALLINGER AND CLAPP.

Washington, Feb. AFTER another
days debate on the race question the
Senate today agreed to vote today on
the final passage of the Lever extern
sion agricultural bill. Senator Gal
linger started Fridays argument with
statement in favor of the Jones
amendment to provide that negro ag-
ricultural colleges in the South shall
share in the administration of a pro-
posed fund for farm. demonstration
This brought forth extended remarks
upon the negro by Senator Vardaman,
who declared it would be Godsend
if the negro were not permitted to
vote in any state. He added that the
Republican party was tired of the ne
gro in politics and was considering a
way to get him out of the national
conventions.
Senator Clapp protested that what
Senator Vardaman was saying about
the inability of the negro to advance
alone was ont applicable to the mixed
blood of Minnesota. Describing pres.
ent conditions in the BLACK Belt" the
Mississippi senator said the women OF
the southern states were living today
in a state of siege, with more dread
than in the days when the wild man
and wild beast roamed the frontier.
"And yet" he added, some mer
who know no more about the subject
than I do about the political economy
of the planet Mars, would tell you al
about the negro problem"
Senator William Alden Smith. o.
Michigan, expressed the opinion tha
the possession in the South Of $500,
100000 worth of property by thu
negroes was tribute to the laten
ability Of the race.

The hero of the wreck of the Old
Dominion steamship Monroe was
Thomas r. Harrington, young man
of Bridgeport, Conn. For two hours
he swan in the almost icy ocean off
the Delaware coast dragging along his
unconscious wife by holding her hair
in his teeth. Her arm was broken
from the collision of the Monroe and
the Nantucket, and she cried out to
him that rather than undergo the pain
of his holding her arm she would die.
Here is Harrington's story of his
struggle in the water:

girl UP by. her arm, but 1t panied her
horribly and she screamed and
wrenched SO that saw it would not

in shivers and struggles of pain the
next. l twisted her hair into a tight
rope as close to her head as I could,
and then took it in my teeth and tried
to keep her head above water by keep
ing it on my chest while swan on

The other day he came across lad
who was looking after some pigs by
the roadside, and the bishop paused
to ask him what he was doing, that
being his usual opening to converse
ton. =
''Moindin' swine" the Lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
f'Ah, is that so?" he commented.
fsAnd how much do you earn a week? ?"
tsTwo shilin's," was the reply.
"Only two shillings." remarked the
bishop; then he continued pleasantly:
Il, too< am a shepherd, but | get
more than two shiIlfngs."
The lad looked at him seriously for
a minute, then he said slowly:
''Mebbe you gets more swoine nor
me to moind."

FEW CHINESE IVORY CARvERs
There Are Only Six Expert Workers
Distributed Among Forty
Shops in Canton.

There are in Canton about forty
shops which make and sell ivory arti-
cles, the Daily Consular Report states.
Each store is small, consisting usually
Of showroom, where the cutting is
done. Members of the store also
usually work in the showroom. The
industry may be divided into two
stages, cutting and carving. Tusks
imported from Siam constitute the
raw material. These are first cut with
saw to the shape capable Of being
worked by carving. The cutting APP
paratus consists of a wooden block
or wise, saw and tub Of water.
The ivory is secured firmly by the
wise, moistened with water and cut
TO the required shape.
Perfectly fat pieces of. ivory as thin
as paper were shown in evidence of
the. skill Of the cutter The cutting
finished, the blocks are then carved
into shape with knives Of many diff
ferent shapes These have a short
blade and long handle made, Of bam~
boo, like penholder. Other instru-
ments noted to be in use by carvers
were wire saws and gimlet worked
by a leather twirling apparatus.
The number OF expert workers in
Canton is far less than the number
Of stores, being only about six in
number. The term of apprenticeship
served by the experts is four years.
An apprentice receives no wages, but
gets 81 Canton currency as "shoe
money" at the end of the first year,
SIS at the end of the second year, Sc
at the end of the third year and 81
at the end of the fourth year, which
is ali the compensation he receives.
A good worker gets 81 to So Canton
currency per month. Canton curren-
cy silver money is about half the
equivalent of gold. Apprentices and
good workers are provided with two
meals day, supplied by their en-
ployers. An expert carver seldom
works in the shop which employs him.
He generally works in his own house
and can earn about $50 Canton cur
rency a month.
The working hours are from 7 a. nj.
to $3.50 p. m, with intermission from
$50 to 1880 for morning meal, 1870
TO 2 for lunch in tea shop and $50
to 1880 for evening meals; in all,
ten hours day.
There are about 316 working days
in the year, A holidays being deduct
ed from the $50 days, which are reck-
oned one year, according to the lunar
calendar.
