DIG IT BTf CONTRACT
Government's Probable Action
on ParTHma Canal.
CULEBRA CUT EXCEPTED
Taft States Outline of Policy When
Preliminary Work Is Finished.
Contractor Could Not Dig
the Culcbra Cut.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. The Gov
ernment of tho United States Is will
ing to enter Into contracts with cor
porations or individuals for the con
struction of any portion or all of tho
Panama Canal. This statement was
made by Secretary Taft today, while
dis-ussing the conditions upon tho Isth
mus and tho policy of tho Government."
There is somo doubt in nls mind
whether any concern would be willing
to undertake the excavation of the
Culeb'-a cut on account of the magni
tude of that -work. It is not the exca
vation that will bo so difficult as much
as the disposition of the earth taken
out of the cut. But as to the other
ivork the Government will be readx to
enter into contracts for its completion
las soon as it is determined what type
cf canal shall be constructed. It is
stated that contracts could not be made
during the preliminary stages, because
the Government had to prosecute the
work until Its officers knew what was
to be done and had a sufficient "knowl
edge of the conditions to pass upon
tids and make judicious contracts.
Mr. Taft did not mean to declare the
policy of the Government in tho mat
ter of canal construction, but to assert
tnat, if it were found feasible to let
contracts, that course would be pur-
isueu. Tooay no made the following
(statement:
The question whether the canal will h
! built by contract it is not. of course, possible
now to determine. Mr. Wallace, the former
chief engineer, expressed a tentath'e opinion
I mat procapiy much of the work, except the
Culebra cut, could be let by contract. It Is
Impossible, however, to make plans for this
until the data is obtained, which is now
seing securea. I have not discussed the mat-
Itcr with Mr Shonts, or with Mr. Stevens, the
chief engineer, because the question has not
et come up for settlement. I give you only
I the impression that I received from conver
satlcns with Mr. "Wallace on the ground.
rhere is nothing In the policy thus far pur
sued which would prevent the letting -of any
sari or the work by contract. If found to be
practicable by the Government

LUST LINK SEVERED
Strike Completely Cuts Off
Moscow From Capital.
FACTORIES ARE SUSPENDED
-Russian Railroad Men Demand Po
litical Rerorra and Other Work
jnen Are Joining Them.
Famine Impending.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct 24. (3:46 A.
1.) The railroad strike situation has
now entered on a highly serious phase.
The movement Is spreading rapidly to
all the railroads of the empire and. ap
parently, canont be stopped, while In
many cities It is communicating itself
to the mill and factory employes. The
general strike In all branches of labor,
which the Socialists planned for the end
of this year, is suddenly bursting forth
of Its own volition.
Minister of Finance Kokovsoft yester
day received- a telegram from the gov
erning committee of the Moscow Bourse,
which said that a continuation of the
strike for a week longer would force
every factors' in the Moscow region to
shut down, owing to lack of coal, wheth
er or not the factory hands took part In
the strike. The same condition of paraly
sis threatens all tho trades and indus
tries of Russia unless the strike Is speed
ily settled.
Famine Threatens 3Ioscov.
The Inhabitants of Moscow are already
feeling the efforts of the strike In the
increased prices of food, and - they are
even confronted by famine.
As the demands of the men arc purely
political, it seems Impossible to satisfy
thorn by economic concessions. Prince
Hllkoff. Minister of Rrallroads, yesterday
strongly appealed to the Moscow strikers
on tho basis of hi,-? own experiences In
England and the United States, but he
spoke to dear ears. The men talked of
nothing but their political rights, which,
of cours", the Prince was powerless to
grant The situation is apparently at a
deadlock, from which egress can only be
had by the surrender of one side, or,
perhaps, the proclamation of martial law
on the railroads.
Last-Link Is Severed.
A flood of dispatches yesterday from
Simbirsk, Saratoff. Vyazma. Poltava.
Nizhni Novgorod. Kharkoff, Smolensk.
Kleff. Ellzabethgrad. Kazan and other
railroad centers all over Russia an
nounced th complete tying up of all
transportation.
The last link that bound Moscow, the
commercial center of the empire, with
the outer world was broken yesterday
afternoon, whea the men on the Nlcholal
Railroad, connecting Moscow with St
Petersburg, went on strike. The engi
neers shut off steam in their engines, and
Prince Hllkoff had great difficulty In ob
taining a crew for the special train which
brought him to St Petersburg at mid
night Americans Leave on Last Trains.
St. Petersburg has one line to the fron
tier, and the employes of this line held a
meeting late last night o decide whether
or not they should participate In the
strike movement Brigadier-General
Thomas H. Barry and Captain Sidney A.
Cloman. of the United States, who have
ben with the Russian army In Manohu
ria, left at night for Vienna on what was,
perhaps, the last train out of St Pe
tersburg. Railroad trains arc no.w run
ning only In the border regions of the em
pire. Pathetic scenes are reported from Mos
cow, where thousands of the pooror In
habitants of the adjoining provinces have
been waiting for four days for trains to
take them home. They are camping oul
near the railroad stations and in the
streets, and many of them are without
money and the necessities of life

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct 23. The rail

belt Is paralyzed, while a general strike,
which broke out today at -Kharkoff, has

section of the empire.
'center In Soutnern Russia. The strike
axxocts, among others, the line to the
Donetz coal region, on which Russia large
ly depends for fuel during the crisis In the
oil regions, and the line to Odessa and
Sebastopol.
Moscow is isolated except the line to
St Petersburg, while the capital has an
international line, by Fydtkuhnen, open to
Berlin. The strike Is part of a general
scheme of Social Democrats to compel the
Emperor to grant universal suffrage and
complete political freedom, but the plan
of the leaders is to avoid a collision with
the authorities. Their present purpose Is
to make tests of the strength of the vari
ous organizations preparatory to the in
auguration of a general strike of all
classes In support of the radicals at
about the time the National Assembly
meets.
The convention of railroad employes now
In session here has adopted a resolution

Moscow Strikers Dictate Terms Sol

MOSCOW. Oct 2X-A meeting of rail
road men held In the university here to
day adopted a resolution to continue the
strike until their demands are satisfied
and the arrested members of the union
are released.
Forty detachments of the railway bat
talions have arrived here for locomotives
for service fan the Moscow-Kazan line.
Operations have ceased on the Nicholas
Railway. The evening train for St

Trains on the Wlndau Railroad have
ceased running, and Moscow Is complete

There is only enough meat In the City
of Moscow to supply the demand for a
week. All commercial correspondence has
to be conducted by telegraph.
Prince Hllkoff, in receiving the mem
bers of a deputation sent by the strikers,
talked to thern familiarly. He said that
while In England and the United States,
he worked 16, hours daily In order to In
crease his salary, and pointed out the
superiority of the production of foreign
workmen in quantity and quality at the
same wages received by Russian work
men. The deputation entered a protest against
any man's being compelled to work 16
hours a day, because such long hours pre
cluded the opportunity for educational
improvement Prince Hllkoff, In reply,
said that even with 16 hours a day it was
