Kor some time it has been known that sev- eval mcmbm of the Commission believed T per rent on the estlniatd cost of con struction would he a. f ralr remuneration for a contractor under the form prepared by tne Commission. The lowest proposal that of William 3. Oliver of Knoxville. Tenn.. and Anson .

The other bidders were George Pelrce A Co.. of Frankfort, JJf.. and New York t'lty. who offered to dj the work for 7.19 per crentum upon the estimated cost : the North American Dredging- Company, of Los Angeles, Cal who offered to do the work for DS per centum of the estimated cost, and the MacArthur-Gillespie Com pany, of New Jersey, whose bid .was 12.5 per centum, More than 100 contractors and their representatives attended the opening of the bids. Before reading the proposals. Mr. Rhonts explained that -no bid would he aceepted unfit after the oonrmjsslon haVI thoroughly studied and investi sated It. ' f. . The basis on which the contract wilfb-".. awarded Is a vercpntagr 0f the cost ot completing tile work. Bidders were- re ouested to accompany their proposals with a certlhed check for J3UO.000. and the iu:0rful bidder required to give hond in the sum of J2.000.000 to protect the Governmant from any losa. The Govern ment expressly reserves to itself the con trol of sanitation, of engineering, and In the matter of quarters and the subsist ence department, for they are directly connected with the health and wcll-helng of canal employes, the right of super vision is retained.

The Government likewise retains the department of materials and supplies. and, no- far the I'nna m r Railroad Is concerned. It expressly was declared In Uie Mtnr of invitation lor Wils that It could not wisely be turned over to the contractor. The work, to be done by the contractor, therefore, has leen confined to the actual work of construction. It ts balieved by the commission that the es timated cost of completing; the canal will he materially reduced by the application of new principles of construction, which will be discovered as the work progresses. The proposals provide a system ear re. wards for the completion of the work. In a shorter time than the contract calls for, find thlf, It Is contended, will effect a saving sufficient to offset the entire per centage required to be paid the contractor on the estimated cost of the work, ' Must Benin.

It is also provided that no American employ- Is. to work more than eiarht hours. There la no time limit for the completion of the canal. The percentage system vas adopted because this method is being employed increasingly by. the most successful corporations in the country. Bangs Mad ot Federal Company. NEV VOBK. Jan. 12. Anson M.

Wyo.. says that Georare Terry, head of the Shoshone Indian Coun cil, was murdered Thursday night as he rami out nf the Council Juodge of the In dian reaervation. He waa first knocked down with a warclub and his body waa then cut to pieces with knives. The mur der Is supposed to be the outcome of a family feud. rCo arrests have been made. but susph Ion points strongly to several Indians. Terry was the lialf-breed son of the former famous Mormon Hishop Terry fgt Utah, lie was a squawman. and. had lived on th Shoghow reservation for more than X yea re. There are several factions amonf the India.no. and aa Tw ry's barn was recently burned by a tnys- tertous Are, evidently of incendiary origin, it ls believed that the crime was com- nil t fed by some of them. Th proposed abandonment of Fort Washakie win, lUls believed by leading citizens, lead to grave disturbances among the Indians, who have been held in re straint by a we of the soldiers. The Sro- shones and Arapahoes are sworn enemies, and there are factions in both tribes ready to fight at any time. Rev.

Last year we attracted more immi- grrants from Italy than from any other nation. Now, how does this wonderful United States compare with' that court- try from- which they came? Italy has a public debt of 178.85 per capita; the United SUteahas a National deut of $11.51 per capita. Italy has a money circulation per capita of $9.75. while the United States has a money clrcu-. latiort of $33.08 por capita. In other words, should a direct and Immediate tax be levied for the pa men t of our .National debt (,an Impossible contin gency used merely for llustratlon) the I'nltetl States could pay off Its obli gation and have a balance of 121.57 per capita, whil Italy, if she paid the whole amount of money ir. circulation, would still owe 968.10 per capita, or about four-flftlia o her whoU debt. Would depopulate Chicago. A good illustration ot . the number or people coming to this country from Italy may be had by the following; statement: If the Immigration into the United States from Italy last year had been followed by an-emigration from the. United States to any other country in the same propor tion and alP these emigrants had grone from the. city of Chicago, there would now. be only 63 residents in the great metropolis of the Middle West. Sine the foundation of our Republic the magi? of Its name has drawn 23.M0.- 000 men an women across the seas. If they had all come from Spain, Sweden and Norway, there wouldn't be a single Inhabitant left todaya in the three king doms mentioned. The movement to " America Js distinguished from all others migrations in that it has drawn, not driven. The great Intra-Kuropean migra tions, the jfolK-wanderlng" ;r the t fifth and sixth centuries of the Christian. ira that resulted in the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the German tribes, was a movement of the chieftains, who forced ' their serfs and retainer td aid them to strike out for victory and spoils. hut the tide of borne-seekers that hai swept to America was a movement x Bpired by the individual seeking to better his condition.

In fiearchtnjf history for some compari son of migration, it seems that tho pil grimage of the Israelites was the first great? trek" of which we have an authen tic account. Tt is believed tha t there were about a million souls involved in that movement, which lasted 10 years. During a similar period the United States han attracted 20.000, OOO home- seekers, mo that as a drawing card our country seems to outrank Canan by 20 to I Caleb and Joshua told the Israelites the Promtaed Iand was so rich that It was flowing with milk and honey. Let us see how we can show up with Canan on that score. Last year Uncle Sam's cows produced enouach milk, butter and cheese to sell for Soo,uoo,ooo -and our- bees are annually producing $10,000,000 worth of honey, which would surely be enough to sweeten the -'half-baked cake of Kphralm." The proceeds of our .annual tobacco crop would reproduce the Temple of Solomon and add a few modem fur- nlshmg-s that this early spendthrift bad not reckoned upon. ' Drawn, Sot Driven.' t In sll the other migrations which have affected the histurv or the wnrlrt. the movement hss -been a conquering; one. Weaker nations have been cvrmn by stronger ones. Sometimes cultivation lias been superseded by barbarism- Rut the millions that come to America come not to conquer but to be conquered; not to change, but to be changed. Sine the Civil War we have received 20.000.000 for eigners, and 3et our nationality, our governmental eystem, our modes and thoughts and purposes are unchanged. Could the National individuality of any othejr people have 'been preserved undor the same conditions?

The edict Itself thinks that the great difficulty which has been encountered tn the reform movement is worship of the past." for nowhere does the dead hand weigh more heavilv epon tha living than in China and the first essential to sueoesa In any new movement is to how either that It Is not an innovation, or it least that it la not hostlU t the spirit of the. fathers." The ehief feature in the edict is the manifest endeavor to approach the Ideal of "one man. one office.'
