Frasca considered Ui wealthiest country in to world. Tells Abercorn Only Lack r Time Prevents Will Vse Silencers on . Gnns and May There by Make New Records. LON EKX, Thursday. March 18. In the hope 'that Theodore Roosevelt might be persuaded to include Rho desia in his forthcoming African tourr the Duke of Abercorn recently sent him a cordial Invitation from the board of the British South Africa Company to visit that country. In his letter the Duke pointed out the many attractions afforded by the Journey from Cape Town and drew particular attention of the world to Victoria Falls and the Matopo Hills, In the midst of which Is the tomb of Cecil Rhodes. The Duke of Abercorn also called Attention td tha 1 1 prospects for the hunting of big game in Northern Rhodesia, This was up permost in the ex-President's mind when, in his letter heartily thanking the Duke for the invitation, he wrote: "Tour proposal is so very attractive that I should certainly have closed with It if there had been time."' It is said here that the guns Mr. Roosevelt will use in Africa will be equipped with silencers, in which case he will likely make some new records in game hunting. Letters received here from Mombasa say that Mr. Roosevelt probably will proceed from Mombasa to Kapitl Plains, a station on the Uganda rail road 288 miles inland, where he will organize his caravan on the estate of Sir Alfred Pease. THE GATUN DAM. A Report That Shows It Solid and Sound. Albert Hazen, says the New Tork Times of March 23. who was a member of the Board of Engineers which ac companied President Taft to Panama to investigate the truth or falsity of the criticisms that were directed for so many months against a canal of the lock type, told the members of the New Tork TJnlversalist Club last night the results of the investigation. The occasion was the 183d dinner of the club, which was held in the Hotel St. ienis, and at which Mr. Hazen was the guest of honor. "Before we went to the Isthmus," said Mr. Hazen, "President Taft told the board of which I was a member that he wanted us to look at the work from all points, study it in all of Its phases, and that if we discovered any weaknesses anywhere we were to say so and he would do what he could to remedy them. So we went there with power, to ask all the questions necessary. "The canal now being built, when it Is finished, will be large enough to per mit the safe passage of vessels 110 feet wide and 1000 feet long, and nav igators who are familiar with the work down there . have told me that they will be able to make the passage from ocean to ocean quicker and safer in the lock type than they could have had the sea-level type been decided upon. as ior me uatun Dam, I had heard of the alleged percolation of the water through this dam, and so I took down with me apparatus to And out what caused this percolation. But when we saw the Gatun Dam it was a revela tion. Instead of the soft, mushy ma terials of which we had heard, we found the hardest kind of strong clay, and that Instead of being- made of ma terials through which water -can per colate it was. and is. In fact, water tight. There were no conditions exist ing such as had been reported, and there can be no question of the ability of the dam to hold the depth of water proposed. "Then those slips at Gatun, wnich were probably more than anything else the reason for our going to Panama. There again we were pleasantly sur prised. "What did happen did not alarm the engineers at all. and it was. in fact, the very best thing that could have happened for the dam. But what hap pened did excite the newspaper men, who telegraphed about it to the United States. We examined these slips, and when we had seen It all and realized what had happened, we told Mr. Taft and Colonel Goethals that it was all right and that the work could start ahead again. There can be no reason to doubt the strength of the Gatun Dam in any way. "Then the earthquake question. I am certain that there has not been an earthquake in the Isthmus in 200 years. This is proven by the old ruins, which we examined closely, and not in a sin gle Instance did we find an earthquake crack in them. Panama is not an earth quake country. There maybe an earth quake down there some day, but as for that matter, there may be one In New York, too, some of these devs. "Let me say a word of the sanitary situation on the Isthmus. I saw only half a dozen mosquitos while I was there, and they were shown as curi osities. The yellow, fever is gone and the malaria practically eliminated. The food supply is under government con trol, and all the water Is sterilized, and today, in my opinion, the Isthmus of Panama is a healthier place than the City of New Tork. Had the French mastered the mosquito, I cannot help but think that they would have finished their canal." TIFT FOR ECONOMY Use Wizard Carpet Cleaner. AU dealer. Will Insist on Careful Conduct of Finances. HE SENDS OUT LETTER Asks That Steps Toward Minimizing Expenditures Be Taken in Order That They May Be Kept in Limits of Revenues. WASHINGTON, March 27. Economy In the administrative departments of the Government is to be insisted upon by President Taft and the members of his Cabinet. At the first Cabinet meet ing after Mr. Taffs Inauguration the question was fully discussed and an agreement reached that the members of the Cabinet were to constitute themselves a budget committee, which. through a sub-committee, should carefully scrutinize each Item of the estimates of appropriations submited to Congress by the several chiefs of bureaus. This plan received the hearty " In dorsement of the entire Cabinet, but the credit for taking the Initiative In putting It into effect belongs to Sec retary MacVeagh. Mr. McVeagh today addressed the following letter to the principal offi cers of the Treasury Department: "The President wishes the Treasury Department, as well as the other de partments of the Government, to take immediate measures to consider the question of such economies in expendi ture as may be found by the. most competent study to be feasible. "It is intended to make the esti mates of expenditures for the next and future years with the greatest care. "It Is the Intention that the esti mates of the different departments shall hereafter be submitted to the Cabinet; and that they shall be con sidered as a whole and In connection with the Treasury estimates of the probable Income. "There is clearly a new disposition not only in the Executive Government, but In the Congress, toward such con sideration and study of the Govern ment expenditures as will bring about a responsible relationship between the expenditures and the revenue."
