While .Mr. Peckham declined to dis

welcomed an examination of their

NO EIGHT-HOUR LAW ON CANAL
European Nations Will Appoint En'
glneers to Advise Commission.
Washington, April 11. Chief En
gineer Wallace, of the Isthmian canal
commission, had an interview with
eecreUiry Tuft today, in which the con
ditions on thu canal were discussed.
Afterwanls Mr. Wallace met those
members of tho commission who are in
the city. As to tho right of the com
mission to employ labor for mora than
eight hours per day, there is n belief
that the eight-hour law does not apply
to the canal zone.
Chief Engineer Wallace says that It
would very seriously impede work to
invo tho eight-hour law In effect dur
ing tho construction of tho canal. It
would be Impossible to make uniform
lours for nil labor, because some labor
must bu employed 12 hours, while 10
ion rs is the rule for most of the work-
inginen.
Tho session of tho canal commission
today was devoted to an explanation of
existing conditions on the isthmus, en
gineering nnd otherwise, by Chief En
gineer Wallace, who attended the meet
ing ns n commissioner for tho first time.
Chairman Shouts is expected to bo

NO HOPE OF TARIFF REVISION.
Hantbrough 8ays Next 8enlon Will
Da Devoted to Rate Quaitlon.
Washington, April 11. Senator
Ifanshroiigh, of North Dakota, a strong
advocate of a readjustment of the tariff,
neiioves mat l lie cliancu of tariff revis
ion has passed and that nothing will bo
done In the linint-date future looking to
tho readjustment of the Dlnglcy rates
to meet changing conditions. While
Mr. Hanshrough is a strong protection
1st, ho believes the existing tariff
should ho readjusted, but ho has come
to thu conclusion that the stand-patters
havo convinced tho president that no
revision Is necessary.
He thinks the postponement of the
extra session until October 16 put an
end to all chance of tariff revision. It
is his opinion, and tho view is shared
by many other men In Washington,
that a session called to meet October 10
for the purtiose of passing a railroad
rato bill will not find opportunity to
consider another such weighty topic ai
tho tariff. He declares that congress
will consume the time from October 15
to Deceinlier 1 In organizing commit
tees and getting ready for actual work.
Ho furthermore believes that the two
or three weeks preceding the holiday
recess will lj wasted on some pretext
or other, and that congress will not get
down to business before tho second
week in January. In his opinion it
will bo easy enough to drag out the dis
cussion of the railroad rate bill through
the entire long session, leaving no time
for a consideration of a tariff bill. This
lielug the situation, as he seel it, Mr.
Hanshrough has abandoned all hope of
having the tariff revised.
PUT NO TRUST IN MINES
Fortification Experts Favor Subma
rines for Coast Defense.
Newport, It. I., April 11. The third
committee of the fortification board, of
which Admiral Charles J. Thomas, U.
8. N., is chairman, is devoting special
attention to the dangers incident to the
use of submarine mines, and it Is
learned that emphasis will lie placed on
the advantage of substituting submar
ine boats for mines for harbor defense.
Discussing this subject, a member of
the committee said today:
Mines cannot be relied on in times
of Mar. Trials given submarines in
Narragansett bay resulted unsuccess
fully, due chiefly to the strong currents
which sweep trhough the harbor and
entrances to the bay and make these
defenss extremely dangerous. This Is
one of the important subjects that the
fortification board has already taken up
and will thoroughly examine during
the Inspection of fortifications and the
land and floating defenses.
"The established fact that a number
of the Itusslan warships were blown up
by their own submarine mines, and the
present practice in England of dis
carding submarine mine defenses to a
great extent in harbors where there are
wide channels to defend and where the
tides aro strong, and placing there sub
marine boats, has added to the senti
ment in favor of replacing mines with
boats."
JAPANESE EQUALLY CONFIDENT
Believe Russian Fleet Has Secret Base
in Pacific Ocean.
Toklo, April 11. Vice Admiral Ro
jestvensky's second Paclcfl squadron
has not been reported since it passed
Singapore. Its whereabouts and tho
plans of Kojestvensky aro subjects of
tho keenekt speculation.
It la quite generally assumed that
Kojestvensky doe? not desire an imme
diate buttlu nnd that he will attempt
to reach Vladivostok, where there are
docks and shops, or seize a ba6e. Tho
latter course is deemed unsatisfactory.
on account of poor facilities and the
danger of political complications.
Many believe that the Kusalun naval
commander has a second rendezvous in
the Pacific ocean, and that he will
speedily quit tho China sea nnd go
eastwnrd of the Philippines. If Vladi
vostok is his objective, the Pacific Is
considered to bo tnoro favorable for tho
accomplishment of his purpose, al
though it largely depends on Kojest
vensky himself.
Tho Japuneso newspapers and public
express relief and pleasure over tho ap
proach of the Kusslan squadron, and
confidence that Togo will win.

FIJI TItEE AS BELFKY.
UNIQUE 8PIRE OF ST. PETER'S
CHURCH, TACOMA.
Lltll HonKof Worahlp Ilullt Around
the Hundred-foot Trtink ofthBeven-Centorj-OM
Monarch of tbo Forent-r
Core red with KnslUh ly.
The oldest belfry In the United
HUtes, and one of the oddest church
towers In the world. Is the spire of St.
Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church.
Id the outsklrfa of Tacoma.
This church supplies also what Is
perhaps the first case on record In
which a congregation selected a belfry
and built the rest of the church around
It. Although the spire Is made entire
ly of wood. It Is now 700 years old, and
will probably be standing when many
comparatively new Iron and steel bel
fries have been razed.
Forty years ago the pioneers of Ta
coma organized a church society. They
selected a site for their place of wor
ship In a forest of Douglas flr trees
that skirted the shore of Puget Sound
and stretched Inward for many miles.
Out of these Immense, shaggy-barked
trees thnt towered upward for 200 feet
without n branch below the upper half,
they chose one eight feet In diameter
to serve ns the steeple.
When the brunch-benrlng portion of
the tree had been cut nwny to prevent
tho fulling of limbs hi rase of n storm,
there was left a bare trunk nearly 100
foot high. Ileslde It there was built a
plain little structure. The bell was
fastened to the tree, and tho little
church, with Its enduring steeple, was
complete.
In later years the women or the con
gregation planted English Ivy nt the
base of the tree, which In time not
only shrouded the steeple In u thick
green cloak, but crept through the
church windows, until Anally the Inner
walls and celling were covered. When
tho roof had becomo moss grown, St.
Peter's formed n picture of sylvan
beauty more appreciated by artists who
riime to know It than by the little con
gregation (tself.
The ivy covering of the steeple was
so thick that for years the tones of the
bell scarcely penetrated through the
leafy blanket. Recently the hindering
foliage has been cut away, nnd the
belfry has again becomo both useful
and ornamental.
ALLOW NO WASTE.
Becret of UuntneBsBucceittt la FlmUni.ii
Use for lverjrtlilnic.
"Ono of tho great secrets of business
success lies in avoiding waste," re
marked a successful business man the
other day. "Iu this single fart lies tho
principal reason for the great success
of thu Armours, the Swifts, tho Stand
ard Oil Company, the American Sugar
Kenning Company and practically ev
ery other largo and successful ludus
try. Take tho packing Industry as an
example. Nothing Is allowed to go to
waste. The buttons that you wear on
your coat aro mado out of the blood of
tlio cattle, nogs anu sueep. iiisieiiu or

tured Into buttons. The hoofs of tbo
cattle are manufactured Into combs
and brushes. Glue, vaseline and doz
ens of other by-products are manufac
tured out of thu entrails and other por
tions of the animals that at one time
were allowed to go to waste. At tho
present time these by-products furnish
one of the principal sources of revenue
to the beef packing companion.
"Take as another illustration tin
Standard Oil Company: When this
company was first organized the vol
ume of waste In the business of refin
ing oil was enormous. Crude oil was
taken and refined and the refined oil
was practically the only product Ev
erything else was allowed to go to
waste. The Standard Oil Company,
however, began taking this waste and
manufacturing It Into by-products. It
will doubtless bo a surprise to many
to learn that the company to-day has
no less than thirty-two by-products.
The revenue derived from the sale of
these Is enormous. Yet previous to tho
organization of the Standard Oil Com
pany practlcaly all of these by-products
went to waste.
"The railroad Industry furnishes an
other Illustration: The effort to econ
mlze In small Items of expenditure and
save waste Is the main object In most
of the enormous investments that tho
railroads have made during the last
few years. The number of train miles
run In 1000 was 830,000,082. It Is
celar that a saving on each of these
train miles, although amounting In It
self to but a fraction of a cent will
aggregate an enormous sum when ap
plied to the total number of train
miles. For Instance, suppose that the
railroads of the country are able
through Improved operation to save
the small sum of only 2 cents per train
mile. This would be equivalent on the
85a.000.OS2 train miles run In 1000 to
a total saving of over J17.000.000. This
Is equivalent to nn annual dividend of
4 per cent on $02r,000.000. It Is easy
to understand how the right man, who
cau bring about such a small saving
in tho cost of a train mile, can demand
n salary of more than $100,000 a year."
