The extent to which Gatun dam and the locks have been completed ha removed from every Impartial ob server the s'lahtrst doubt of the wisdom of the decision made and the feasibility of the plan adopted.

On the eve of the President's depart ure, 10i boilermakers. dissatisfied that after hearing their complaints last even In, the President would give, tfo Im mediate answer to their demands, gave five days notice of quitting their work and sailing for home. Several of the unions of machinists and blacksmiths are threatening similar action. It Is not proposed to strike, but simply to resign and leave the Isthmus. Only hourly employes, constituting -S per cent of the force, are likely to be affected. The canal officials are Indignant at these employes for trying to enforce their demands, which the official regard s unreasonable. The President promised to consider the matter fully and cable his answer from Charleston, but this did not satisfy some of the hot-headed among the bollennak era. Demand VnJuM, Sajs Commission. The Canal Commission this afternoon Issued a statement, which In part fol lows: "In the last year several petitions ask' Ing for an increase In pay were pre sented by the American canal workers. who are paid hourly and who nuraher liOO. about IS per cent of the entire American force. The Commission, after .eon.derstlon. declined to grant the In ereasea. not oonsldertng any Justifies Hon necessary for such action. "The standard pay on the Isthmus Is i$ cents an hour, which la from 10 to le cents higher than In the United fltatee.

"Tba reason given by the 100 men who have reslimed la that the President's promise to send his answer from Charles ton la sot satisfactory. This action of the boilermakers will not Interfere with the canal construction work, and will cause only temporary Inconvenience un til their places are filled, which will be within a short time. . Caldwell yesterday. The case went to the Jury at 5 o'clock yesterday evening and the verdict w as not returned until 1 o'clock this morning. It la understood the jury was unanimously In favor of acquittal on the first ballot, but one of the jurors Insisted that a severe repri mand should be given the ex-offlcer. The charge against Fleming was the result of the shooting of J&mea Moore while Fleming waa acting In his official capacity aa Chief of Police. February 8. Moore wag arrested for disturbing the peace and while being taken to the jail struck the officer and attempted to es- cspe from custody. The officer fired three shots In his direction, one of the bullets entering the prisoner's leg just bsck cr the knee. Moore died a few days later from complications caused by the wound. Fleming reslimed from office and was later arrested on a charge of manslaugh ter. At the trial the prosecution charged that the officer shot with Intent to hit Moore, while the defense alleged that Fleming shot only to Intimidate Moore Into stopping and the wound was such as could only be made by a glancing bul let, one fired Into the ground and de- i flcted'by a stone or similar substance. The shooting created a sensation In this part of the country and the outcome of the trial was watched with Interest.

The dinner brings to mind hu miliating circumstance which ehS' grlned, not only Seattle suffragists. but all Seattle women, when the rup ture between Mrs. Devoe and Seattle omen occurred last July the cause being refusal of credentials to these women to the state convention, as Mrs. Devoe refused to allow any delegate present not pledged to the Devoe In' terests. However the banquet was largely attended by members of the Washing ton Equal Suffrage Association, of which Mrs. Devoe Is president. The sentiment was generally ex pressed that while there Is no further use for the organizations n this state. they should be continued for the pur pose of rendering all aid possible to the women of other states who are seeking the right to vote. A plan was formally announced to form a auffrage association of the five "free states," which should put forth Its efforta in the ' remaining states of the West. EL PASO, Texas. Nov. IT. Marathon, a town of 500 people, 200 miles east of here. Is under heavy guard this morn ing owing to the report that a band of CO armed Mexicans had crossed the Rto Grande' from Mexico and are marching In that direction. At 12:30 this morning' the scouts aent out to meet the Invaders had not re turned and the exact whereabouts of the band had not been ascertained. At that hour sentries had been posted at all of the approaches to the town and the citizens were sleeping on their arms. Marathon Is about 100 miles from Rock Springs, where the burning of Antonio Rodriguez took place. Why the Invaders are making that town Its objective point cannot be learned. The telegraph operator at Marathon reports the town quiet, but apprehensive. The report that a hand of Mexicans has crossed the river Is seemingly authen tic Nothing Is known of the reported In vasion at Maria. Texas, at the hour mentioned. The belief Is held here that the revo lutionist faction of Mexico is taking advantage of the Rodriguez Incident to forward their plans and incite the pub lic mind. Sympathizers with plans to overthrow the present regime In Mex ico in this city express gratification over each demonstration reported and hint darkly that the trouble has only begun. ' Mexicans living in this city and across the river in Juarez are, however. for the -most part loyal to President Diaz, and warmly condemn all efforts of a revolutionary nature. The demon strations which have taken place are minimized and declared to Indicate nothing of the spirit or sentiment of the people. Why Do Men DRINK?

The President told the hourly employes, who demanded 10 cents an hour increase and six weeks Instead of two weeks vacation with pay. that ha thought mors vacation than they were receiving was Justified. The canal workers get all their living supplies at wholesale cost from the com missaries and the Commission maintains that the cost of living here Is only to per cent of the cost in the United States.

Although he waa In the St. Francis Hotel in Mexico City on the night of No vember and narrowly escaped serious Injury from brickbats and other missiles that were hurled through the windows. by the mob of Mexicans In Its "antl- Amerlcan" demonstration. T. A. Smith, traveling freight and passenger agent for the National Railways of Mexico, ' who Is now In this city, declares that the dis turbance has no significance, lnasumcb aa It does not reflect the real sentiment of the people of the Southern republic. and that the first reports were greatly exaggerated. "The mob that paraded the streets was composed of about G00 students," he ex plained, "and everyone knows what students parade la. They pretended to be firotestlng against the burning of one of their countrymen at Rock Springs, Tex, but they really Intended only to in dulge in one of their students' pranks. As they marched through the streets they were Joined by a crowd of malcontents and rowdies; who raised the cry of Down with the Americans,' "Tear down their flax and such disturbing sentiment. As they passed the St. Francis Hotel. which la conducted by Keefe Bros., of San Francisco, some of these rowdies hurled stones and brickbats through the windows. 'I waa standing near the counter and one of .them narrowly missed me. Of course there waa lota ' of excitement- Women screamed and some of them fainted. But never was there the .least Indication of real danger. To show that the parade was not hostile to Americans and American Institutions, it need only be pointed out that the office of the Mexican Herald, the American paper. was passed without an attempt at dis turbance, while the building occupied by El Imparclal, the organ of the Mexican government, was attacked with stones. The Mexican papers did not take the mat ter seriously in their issues of tne fol lowing morning." Mr. Smith asserts that war between the United States) and Mexico as a result of this uprising or from any other cause Is so remote as to mom no consideration.

The University of- Washington has a student who has the distinction of being from one of the noble houses of Russia. This is Baron Cr. Osten Larhen, who has created something like a sensation here. When he first appeared on the Wash ington campus he waa known as a dish washer in -one of the "frat" houses. At first Osten Laschen gained little notice In the chemistry department, in which he is working, but the professors, in conversing with him, found that he had traveled much, and that by his perfect diction and unusual accent he mint have obtained an education unusual to a man of the position which he waa then holding. After queries by many professors it was found that he had attended the University of Zurich, Switzerland, as well as the University of Berlin. He Is said to hart a wide knowledge of botany and zoology. Dr. Byers. of the chemistry depart ment of this institution, said today that Lachen came to Washington from Japan "broke," and that Lachen hap pened Into Bagely Hall at the uni versity just at the time when . some manual work waa needed. He was put to do the work at 25 cents an hour, accepting the work moat reluctantly. Osten Lachen has been given a tutor ship In German and will take up the work here. It Is his intention to fol low a strictly eclentlflo course. He was disinherited from the noble family because of his participation in student riots through which he en deavored to exemplify his freedom of thought and speech, as well as an at tempt to expound his liberal ideas. against which his family were bitterly opposed.
