REPORT ON CANAL
Isthmus Has Been Made Healthy
as First Essential.
PAYROLL OF $600,000 A MONTH
Working Year Will Be of Only Eight
Months, Owing to Difficulties
of Rainy Season.
Washington, Pec. 30. Conditions
on tho Isthmus of Panama and tho
progress which is being made on the
gigantic enterprise before the Canal
commission were Ret forth in the an
nual report of that body for the year
ending December 1, submitted to Presi
dent Roosevelt today. According to
the report, the work up to this time
has been confined mostly to the prepar
atory operations, although somo exca
vation work has been in progress which
will be mostly of uso in making esti
mates npon tho cost of future excava
tion. Sanitary conditions has also re
ceived much attention, and as a result
tho health of the isthmus is now in
good shape,
While this preparatory work has
been in progress, very little has been
done in the way of actual excavation.
Eleven steam shovels have been in
operation in Culebra cat and approxi
mately 1,000,000 cubic yards of mate
rial have been removed. By this work
the levels of the cut are being put in
condition for the installation of the
largest number of machines which can
be effectively operated, and data is
being gathered -which will be UBeiul for
estimates of the cost of future construc
tion. The chief engineer, John F. Stevens,
reports that the working year will be
of only eight months, due to tho rainy
seaion. The problem of the Culebra
cut is simply a matter of disposing of
the material excavated. He alBO states
the necessity of obtaining more effi
cient labor, and aeBerts that there are
exceptional opportunities for young
men from the United States to secure
good positions.
A thorough business administration
of affairs on the istnmus, he Bays, is
essential. The old railroad used by
the French company, was in bad con
dition, especially the rolling stock.
The payroll on the isthmus at pres
ent amounts to approximately $600,-
000 a month. An immediate approprr
stion iB therefore necessary.
GOOD HAVEN FOR BIG THIEVES
AFTER THE OIL BARONS,
Cannot Be Extradited From France
and Germany.
"WnHhinuton. Dec. 30. It is nroba
ble that steps will soon be taken by
the State department to secure a revis
ion of the existing extradition treaties
with France and Germany. Eecent
events have drawn attention to some
vnrv Hfirions defects in the old conven
tions, and it is feared that before long
France and Germany will become ha
vens of refuge for a certain class of
American criminals.
Within the rtast fortnight, the chief
of police of Hoboken cabled a request
. .1 1 1
to the Pans municipal autnontieB to
nrrnat and return to the United States
a man named Sasola on the charge of
grand larceny. Toe J?rencn autnorities
were surprised at this request, coming
not through the American embassy,
and, finding that no regular application
find bfien made for extradition, placed
him at liberty. In the course of the
nroceedince it was. discovered that
there was absolutely no provision in
the extradition treaty for the surrender
of a person charged with grand larceny.
The treaty with Prussia and ths Ger
man states, made in 1852, likewise
fails to include garnd larceny as an ex
traditable crime.

BOYCOTT IN ALL PROVINCES.
Will Be Continued Until Exclusion
Law is Relaxed.
New York, Dec. 23. Dr. F. F. Tong,
the representative of the Chinese gov
ernment who is here to create a public
sentiment against the exclusion law,
as administered, declared .yesterday
that there would be no abatement of
the boycott in China against American
goods until the desired change was
made.
He said that his moat recent advices
indicate that the movement of retalia
tion had spread to every province of
the empire. Everywhere merchants
and their customers aro working to
gether to shut out goods made in the
United States. At Tien Tsin, Dr. Tong
asserted, mills for tho production of
cotton and woolen goods have been
started, and a flour mill is in operation
Women are heart and eouI with the
men in the fight anginst American
goods. In purchasing powder for their
faces the first question they ask is
"Was it made in America?" If the
answer is affirmative, they refuse to
buy.
"What we are seeking to accom
plish," said Dr. Tong, "is an adjust
ment of the law and its administration
that will put a stop to the injustice to
which Chinese in this country are con
stantly subjected."

from 'the government the value of 25
steamboats alleged to have been taken
from James E. Montgomery during the
Civil war by men representing them

waB a prominent steamboat owner, and
lived in St. Louis. The suit is brought
by tho tniBtee of the Montgomery es
tate, who seeks to recover $250,000 for

Mr. Montgomery opposed secession,
but was compelled to cast ma joi witn
the Confederacy, as his property inter
ests were chiefly in Mississippi. He
became a commodocre in tho Confeder
ate navy, but was the first Confederate
officer to take tho oath of allegiance to

SALARIES TOO UN
Poor Service Rendered by Cheap
Clerks in Postofflces.
MONEY ORDERS SHOW INCREASE
Large Amount of Money Recolvod in
Dead Letters Mailed to Fraud
ulent Concerns.
Washington, Dec. 28. In his an
nual report mado today First Assistant
Postmaster 'General Hitchcock says
that tho low salarlos paid clerks in
first and Becond claBS postoffices aro do-
creasing tho standard of efficiency. It
is impoBsiblo, ho says, to induce effi
cient men to enter his branch of tho
servico, when tho salary to begin with
is but $000 a year, with no cortainty
of promotion for perhaps several years
Mr. Hitchcock strongly recommondB
a discontinuance of tho practice of in
stalling postofflces in public buildings
devoted in part to other branches of
tho government servico. Tho best type
of quarterE for postoffice purposes, he
says, is a singlo large room in a one-
story building.
Much embarrassment has been oc
casioned the postal authorities to pro
vide emergency mail facilities in min
ing towns, and Mr, Hitchcock recom
mends an emergency appropriation of
f 75,000 to meet such requirements.
There haB been an increaso of more
than $18,000,000 in the amount of do
mestic and of more than $5,000,000 'in
the amount of foreign money orders
issued during the year over the year
preceding.
While tho number of undelivered
letters which aro on their way to the
dead letter office during tho year was
smaller than during the provious year,
the number of undelivered letters with
valuable- enclosures greatly increased
General prosperity of the tfoantry is
given aB one reason; auotber ia the
suppression by tho department of con
cerns using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Mail for such concerns con
taining money, money orders and com
mercial paper was received at the dead
lefter office in unusual quantities.
Nearly 11,000,000 pieces of mail were
received at the dead letter office during
the year, including 1,608 that failed of
delivery in the Panama canal zono.
Over 1,500,000 cases of alleged in
decent and scurrilous matter received
attention. In the summer the influx
of offensive pictorial post cards became
so great as to call for a special order
by the department looking to the abate
ment of the nuisance. As a result of
this order, many thousands of objec
tionable cardB have been withdrawn
from the mails by postmasters and for
warded to the department for destruc
tion.
FLOUR TRADE MENACED.
Puget Sound Mill's Oriental Business
Falls 30 Per Cent.
Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 28. Accord
ing to Superintendent Armstrong, of
the Tacoma Warehouse & Sperry Mills
company, the boycott in China is prov
ing a serious menace to the milling
interests of Tacoma. Where years ago
full cargoes of flour were being shipped
to China and mills were running over
time to All orders, shipments to the
Orient have fallen off over 30 per cent
and mills are running only part of the
.time.
"The boycott in China haB knocked
the bottom out of the flour business,
as far as exports are concerned," eaid
Superintendent Armstrong. "Local
freight keeps up well but we need for
eign shipments. It would bo good
business policy to get that boycott out
of the way as soon as possitle."
Ralph Smith agent of tho Puget
Sound Flouring Mills company, says:
"We are shipping less flour than
usual to China, and the boycott is re
sponsible for it. I don't know what
else could be the trouble. Home trado
keopa up about as usual."

San Francisco, Dec. 28. According

SMITH TO BE GOVERNOR.
Will Soon Succeed Wright In Philip
pine Possessions.
Washington, Dec. 27. Despite de
nials and assurances recently credited
to Governor General Luke E. Wright,
thero is no longer serious doubt of the
administration's purposo to make a
change in the head of the Philippine
government. Jamea F. Smith, formerly
of San Francisco, now a member of the
Philippine commission, is the man
picked for the succession' as governor
general. His installation in tho post
is likely to be accomplished in tho not
distant future.
Thero is high authority for tho state
ment that American prestige in the

those familiar with conditions there.
It was recognized by morabora of the
