t-‘ .N!i; • flore.'^, a distance
of one and one-half miles. There it
will enter locks and be lowered to sea
I ipve! and then pass through a distance
of about nine miles into tlie Pacific.
The depth of the approach channel
on the Atlantic side will be 41 feet,
and on the Pacific side 4". feet. The
depth of the inner canal will vary from
ho to 45 feet.
I'hpre will be six double locks in
the canal, three i)airs in the flight at
Gatun with a combined lift of 8.') feet,
one pair at Pedro Manuel with a lift
of 30 feet, and two pairs at Mirafiores
with combined lift of 54 feet. The
usable dimensions of all are the same
a lenjith of 1000 feet and a width of
110 feet. Each lock will be a cham
ber with walls and a floor of concrete,
and mltering gates at each end.
The side walls will be 45 to 50 feet
at the surface of the floor. They will
be perpendicular on the face, and w'ili
narrov; from a point 24 feet above the
floor until they are 8 feet at the top.
The middle wali will be 60 feet wide,
approximately 81 feet high, and each
face will be vertical.
The lock gates will be constructed
of steel. They will be seven feet
thick, 6.") feet long, and from 47 to 82
feet hi^h. Kach will weigh from 500
tons. Ninety-two lock leaves will be
required for the entire canal; the to
tal weighing 57.000 tons. In the con
struction of the locks it is estimated
Ihat 4,200,000 cubic yards of concrete
will he used, requiring about the same
number of barrels of cement.
Electricty will be tised to tow all
vessels into and through the locks, and
to operate the gates and valves, power
being generated by water turbines
from the hea^ created by Gatun Lake.
Vessels will not be permitted to enter
or pass through the locks under their
own power, but will be tow'ed through
by electric locomotives running on
cog-rails laid on lop of the lock walls.
The number of locomotives employed
will vary with the size of the vessel.
The usual number required will be
four. The locks will be filled and
emptied through a system of culverts.
The average time required to fill of
empty a loCk will be about fifteen min
utes, without opening the valves so
suddenly as to create disturbing cur
rents in the locks or the approaches.
The time of passage of a vessel
through the entire canal is estimated
ranging between 10 and 12 hours, ac
cording to the size of the vessel and
the rate of speed she can travel. The
time required to pass a vessel through
the locks is estimated at three hours,
one and one-half hours In the lock at
Gatun, and about the same time in the
locks on the Pacific side.
The total excavation of the canal,
wet and dry, as originally planned, was
estimated at 103,795,000 cubic yards,
in addition to what the French compa
nies did. Changes in the plans of the
canal made by the order of the pre.si-
dent. increased the amount to 174,-
ti66,594 cubic yards. In 1910 more
than 1,000,000 cubic yards w’ere re
moved, the monthly average exceeding
2.000.000. The total for the three years
that the United States has been dig
ging aggregated nearly three-fifths of
the total amount required to complete
the canal.
The canal force Is recruited and
housed by the U. S. A. quartermaster's,
department. There have been brought
to the canal zone 43,432 laborers, of!
whom 11,797 came from Europe, and
19,448 from Barbadoes, and the balance]
from the other islands of the West In
dies. About $12,000,000 worth of sup-,
lilies are purchased annually, requiring
the discharge of one steamer each day.
The commissary department has 22
general stores in as many villages
along the route of the canal. It is es
timated that counting the employes
and their dependents, 65,000 people
are supplied daily with food, clothing
and other necessities. A supply train
of 21 cars leaves Crlstobol every morn
ing at four o'clock ana distributes sup
plies to the stations along the line.
A careful estimate has been made
by the Canal Commissione of the value
to the commission at the present time
of the franchises, equipment, ma©-
rial, v:ork done, and property of va
rious kinds for .w'hich the United
States paid the French canal com
pany $40,000,000. It places the total
value at $42,799,826.
There can be little doubt with the
progress that has been made that the
completion of the canal before 1915
is assured and that it will give to this
country more glory than any other
of its achievements has since the Rev-
olutionar. w’ar.
Senator LaFollette
Is Ajter Political
Scalp Oj President
Buned Herself
Alive In Grave
Vienna, August 12.—Some workmen
at Grosse Wardein, on the great cen
tral plains of Hungary, found the body
of a girl lying in a newly-dug grave
and as life was not extinct a doctor
called and animation was restored.
The girl then stated that she lived
in a village some two hundred miles
away, but had tramped the whole dis
tance to see her soldier lover. When
she got to the barracks, her sweet
heart was ashamed of her because she
was ragged and dust-stained and de
clined to speak to her. The broken
hearted girl attempted to tramp back
home, but as she had no money and
had eaten nothing for three days, she
decided to commit suicide and bury
herself alive.
(By SIDNEY ESPY.)
Washington, Aug. 12.—A series of
recent developments in the senate
plainly demonstrates that Senator
Robert M. IjaFollette, of Wisconsin, is
after the political scalp of President
Taft, and that Senator T^a Follette will
assuredly be a candidate for the re
publican presidential nomination.
No other construtcion t an be placed
upon the activity with which the Wis
consin senator is pursuing the task
of tariff revision. The Insurgent lead
er of the senate i.s Just as anxious to
day to get a tariff bill up to the pres
ident as Is any democrat of either the
senate or house, and in the event that
the president vetoed the bill, there Is
a general feeling that La Follette as
well as the democratic party, will
profit politically.
Strange politics has been played in
the senate during the past ten days.
Even Senator Penrose, who seldom
says anything to acquaint the country
with the fact that the senate is not
In control of the regulars, has admit
ted that the insurgents and the dem-
ocrals have the upper hand, and the
nominal leaders of the once powerful
republican majority has virtually
thrown up the sponge. Senator Pen
rose, a chairman of the senate finance
committee, and heir to the mantel
of leadership which fell from the
shoulders of Nelson W. .\ldrlch. stood
on the floor of the senate and made
the admission that “the republicans
no longer have a majority here.”
This admission is but incidental to
the fact that the insurgent-democratic
coalition in the senate jammed
through the I.a Follette substitute for
the wool bill, and that the same
group of insurgents and democrats
have put through the Farmers’ Free
List bill, with amendments proposed
by the insurgent wing.
It is practically certain today that
these bills will be a.greed upon in con
ference, and that they will eventually
reach the White House. The president
is admittedly in an embarrassing i>o-
sition, and Senator La Follette, believ
ing that he knows the temper of the
country, is biding his time and antici
pating that the president will vote
not only these, but all other tariff bills
that may be sent to him.
Once this is done, it will be a feath
er in the cap. ribt alone of La Follette,
but the democrats of the house and
senate, and the insurgents and the
democrats will go immediately to the
country, making the tariff an issue
both prior and after the launching of
the next presidential campaign.
The senator from Wisconsin has
adroitly managed to have his name ap
pended both to the w'ool bill and the
free list bill. If the wool bill is fin
ally agreed to in conference, it will go
to the president as the Underwood-I-#a
Follette bill. The same name will be
borne by the free list bill, and there
is no doubt that Senator La Follette
will also attempt to amend the cotton
bill w'hen that is sent over to the sen
ate.
President Taft has assured regular
republicans of the senate and house,
it is reliably reported, that he will
vote all tariff legislation which may be
passed in advance of the report of the
tariff board. The insurgents and dem
ocrats take little stock in the prospec
tive report of that board, declaring
that the country demands an imme-
. diate revision of the tariff and espe-
j cially of Schedule K, which even the
j president, in a public speech charac-
j terized as “indefensible.”
I The shrewd La Follette bellevei*- that
i,the voters will be unwilling to par-
! don President Taft for his veto of a
{ bill that promised a revision of the
I schedule which he so characterized.
; The Wisconsin senator and his col-
i leagues believe that the country is
j not so much interested in a technical
i report of the tariff board, as it is in
j prompt relief from the inequalities of
the Payne tariff.
The political game played by Sena
tor La Follette therefore is apparent.
The^ president s veto of the tariff re
vision bill will be his stock in trade,
just as it will be the slogan of the
democrats. Senator La Follette will
go before the next republican conven
tion. and will be in position to up
braid the president for withholding his
signature from the La Follette-Under-
wood bills. Even if Mr. I^a Follette
fails to receive the nomination his
antipathy toward the president may
go to such an extent that he will re
fuse his aid to the republican ticket,
and the large Follette following is
bound to be affected by the president’s
expected repudiation of the bills
which Senator La Follette and his in
surgent friends in the senate and
house have helped to frame.
The situation is fraught with big
possibilities for La Follette and also
the president. There are some who
predict that a president may be made
or unmade by the developments of
the next few days.
True there is about a fifteen per
cent difference In the rates of the La'
Follette wool bill and the measure that
originally passed the house, but both
the senate insurgents, and democrats
of the lower body are anxious to get
some sort of a wool bill up to the
president, and It Is not doubted that
with this common end in view' a com
promise may be reached in confer
ence.
The democrats want to go to the
country and say that a republican re
fused to stand for a revision of the
tariff. Senator La Follette, leading in
surgent and political enemy of Mr.
Taft, wants to be in a position to make
exactly the same claims. So the in
surgents are willing to combine with
the democrats and vice versa.
The neat political game of “putting,
the president in a hole” is now well!
under w'ay, and Mr. Taft realizes it as
well as anyone else that the president
may well be concerned about the out
look goes without saying, despite the
assurances of some standpat republi
cans that the voters will accept the
president's excuse that he deemed it
best to “await the rei)ort of the tariff
board.”
Newly Founded
Criminal Club
King and Queen
Come to Canada
lyjndon, Aug. 12.—The Duke and
Duehess of Connaught will go abroad
for a month, returning in September
to pay a visit to the King and Queen at
Balmoral.
Their royal highnesses are already
making preparations for their depart
ure for Canada on October 6. Exten
sive ' outfits are being prepared for
them and for Princess Patricia, who
intends to avail herself of the facili
ties for tobogganing, ski-ing, curling
and skating which are the chief pas
times of the winter season in Ottawa
and Montreal.
Her Royal Highness became expert
at these games while visiting her
sister in Sweden.
The Duchess of Cannaught Is fond
of golf, and has played a good deal
in the early part of the season at
Bangshot, where there is a short pri
vate course. As the daughter of the
famous “Reb Prince,” the duchess
was a bold and fearless rider, and
she will probably be seen in the sad
dle frequently in the Dominion, as she
is taking out several horses.
Under the "regime” of a Royal Duke
Government House, Ottawa will be
a centre of magnificent hospitality
such as obtained in the days when the
Duchess of Argyll was hostess there.
Rome, August 12.—ITie Neapolitan
press Is full of the doings of the newiy
founded criminal society (In contradic
tion to the local Camorro). the Nea
politan Black Hand. The founder is an
emigrant criminal lately returned from
New York, named Raffaele Nazzaro.
The society has formal statutes. It
aims chiefly by deeds of blood and
blackmail at coercing all local free
lance delinquents into its obedience.
Its leading spirits, each commanding
a patrol of followers, have been scour
ing the criminal haunts of the city at
night, armed with revolvers and blud
geons, and dealing out severe chastise
ment to all who refuse to return their
salute and recognize their Jurisdiction.
'I'lie “Mattino,” the principal Naples
newspaper, states today that these
cases of outrage are to be counted by
the hundred, that all trades people
in certain i)opulou9 quarters are ter
rified of their lives, through the Im
positions of the Blanck Hand gangs,
and that within the last few' days pitch
ed battles, have been fought between
rival criminal hordes, in which several
casual spectators were shot dead or
mortally Injured.
Abdul Hamid Is
Now Recovered
QUEEN TO RETURN VISIT.
Paris, August 12.—It has just been
settled that the Queen of Holland
and the Prince Consort will return
Preeident Fallieres's visit next spring.
Constantinople, August 12.—Bx-
Sultan Abdul Hamid has evidently
completely recovered from his recent
serious illness.
In a letter addressed to his brother,
the reigning Padishah Mehmed V., he
asked him to be so good as to send
him a number of female slaves and a :
quantity of birds. Abdul was alwaye
exceedingly fond of birds, especially 1
pigeons, and in his seclusion at Y11-!
dlK-KIosh used to spend hours in their
company.
The kindly Mehmed readily complied
with the wish of his banished brother,
and a w'agonful of w'omen and birds
have just been dispatched to Salon-
lea..
Geneva, Aug. 12.—The Be-
|gum of Bhoupal, after spending a
fortnight here has left Geneva for
Bombay. She arrived with 82 boxes
and departed with 243, which filled
two large trucks.
Each box was heavily laden with
Swiss goods of all kinds, from silks
and chocolates to wood-carvings and
musical boxes. The Begum cleared out
some jewelers’ shops. She bought a
large quantity of Jewels, including
4,022 gold and silver watches. Such
a customer has not visited Geneva
since the time of Byron and the En
glish milords of long ago. j
