Viewed In the most favorable light, th outcome of the administration' negotiations for the construction of the Panama Canal by contract is lit tle short of disgraceful. The Presi dent returned from his trip to the Isthmus fully convinced that the con tract method was the thing, and Chief Engineer Stevens had held the same view from the very first. Bids were called for and there was no shadow of turning until a rank out sider was found to have made the lowest offer. It so happened that he was perhaps th largest contractor in th United States, with an enviable reputation for making good, but the record of his associate In the bid was not flawless and etceptton was duly taken. Not In the least discouraged, he gathered around him other asso ciates, men versed In every kind of work to be done on the Isthmus, and gave the most ample security for the performance of the contract. Tho administration -was manifestly em barrassed. Chief Engineer Stevens, when it became apparent that the Interloper must almost Inevitably bo awarded the contract If the contract was to be awarded at all, reversed himself completely and threatened to resign If tho government did not con struct the canal itserf. There has been a vast deal of personal and po litical Influence exerted to havo the award thrown, on some pretext or other to the next highest bidders, who had confidently expected it and who were much Incensed at the brawn proposal to do the work for about three-eights of the premium demand ed by them. The head of this firm was an old college chum of the Pres ident, who was abundantly rMlndcd of the fact. To flop to tho lgher and no better secured bid looked, how ever, a little too bold. Noth ing remained but to all the whole proceeding off and lit the trouble some) outsider hlntli for his trouble. It was outrngeous and not to bo tol erated that a contractor from a sec tion possesion no politics I Influenc and himself recommended by no per sonal pull a mere digger and build er with nothing of (ho hI 1 1 Ul,i 11 or the courtier about hlin should arry off such a pilze. Tho dned has been done; the fluke hss been fluked In the languiige of the President' I 1 1 r to the commis sion recording the abandonment of th project of Ii.imdk the work done by contrii'-t .n the proponed percent. iirii''i .ii iric uoiiohco percent, stem, "a. new form of contract devised by M;iJor (Joethuls iJfl age yt can be his asocll'H, If It Ii dectnrd ad vlvable to do tin- work ly rmitruct.

A system im at last imn found by which 'hi dintlm iimi be tween Insider and outsider muy be tnalntatnad. The only excuse given ' Cor th fluke Is the UurIihI" one that , th profits to the lowest -bidding ag- gregation, deducting their bunkers' to secure , share, would be too small '. their best efforts In other word, the government's interests demand that , the) reckless fellows b nrotu ted gainst themselves rrgwrdlcsa of the ' heavy bond required of thmi. V W at glad, that at least, Thief Engineer Stevens is out. Possibly his Insistence, though successful In the , tad, was So disagreeable as lo cost him his favor at court. Such work ' aa th government may continue to 'do will doubtless be conducted to bet ter ' advantage under the engineer ' corps, anyhow, As for Contractor W. J. Oliver, of Kuoxvllle the victim Of th intrigue he h th consols. tloa ot knowing that h has, at any ratV"lcrt-i some excellent adver tising. ' Th Obrvr would be greatly pleased to put a mora favorable con t ruction upon this piece! of history If it could. For th Prtrfdent It can say that, considering Jils weak-back bonedness and th various kind of preur brought to besr, h t)td out aboat as long a was to b xpcUtf .n.i.'.;;.vnNVj ancistuy. In a rtcorit U'lJrcns In New York Trof, W. E. B. Dubois, colored Of Atlanta UnlvcrnUy, claimed that Alex andor Hamilton had negro blood In his vein. This Is not the first tlpae such an allegation ha been made, though it rest upoh nothing what ever except th fact that Hamilton hailed from the West Indie. No man in our political history ha been more viciously abused than. h, and this Insinuation was at one time cir culated by his enemies, not, because they or any on els believed, It but merely by way of venting their spleen. As a matter at fact, his ancestry, al though he was born under, the. bar sinister, was and Is traceable 'back to Scotland and. Franco without 'ths lightest obscurity. Perhaps th most noteworthy circumstance attending his parentage was that his mother, the daughter of a wealthy and influ ential Creole family, occupied a high er rank in life than his father, a weak and worthless young wanderer upon the face of ths earth although possessed of some of the best blood of Scotland and the manners of a gentleman. "Scotch pedler's brat" was the only slight upon Alexander Hamilton's ancestry uttered with any sort of conviction. The romantic story of the great Federalist's birth and youth Is told with a fair degree of truth In Gertrude Atherton's hero worshiping novel, "Th Conqueror." The claim of negro blood, doubtless quite as groundless as In the case of Hamilton, i also mad by Prof. Du bois with regard to Gn. Lew Wal lace, the author of "Ben Hur," and Robert Browning. Such slan der need not be heard with pa tience. IIARIIIMAJT OV SPECULATION. High Financier Harriman has about as convenient a memory as Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, but his testimony before the Inter-State commerce commission has been sufficiently startling, never theless. He has admitted that he and his three associates In the Chicago & Alton Railroad deal in 1898 bought the road, Issued $82,000,000 of new bonds, bought these bonds themselves at 65 and paid themselves a 30 per cent, dividend on their stock out of the proceeds sold the bonds all the way up to it, the New York Life In surance Company taking $10,000,000 of them at 96, and lncretised the cap ital stock, letting Mr. Harrlman's Union Pacific Railroad Company have the preferred at 88 1-2. These little do ings were capped by capitalizing a $12,000,000 loss. Of course, these es timable citizens were gambling prin cipally upon the Increased earning power which they expected the gen eral prosperity of the country to con fer upon the road as. Indeed, It did. And yet Mr. Harriman had the nerve to argue to the commission that this was not speculation! It appears that Senator Forakcr Is now trying to make It appear that It was Mexicans who committed the Brownsville atrocity. He has brought out much trntlmony to show that they would have no trouble In obtaining old shells or cast-off uni forms, and also that they might have secured the ammunition used from Mexican soldiers across the Rio Grande. While, of course, everybody did It exrept the negro troops, the guilt would rest nowhere else with quite no much grace as upon the shoulders of the flreasers, who have no political Influence whatever In this country nnd no one to enter objection for them. Senator Foraker has at last struck the line of least resistance. (iULPOKD Kl'PERIOR ( OlItT. Judge Ward Making It Unpleasant for Itetalkrs (ltlfns. In Mas Mi-fting.

One.) ring being provide,! After the loot operation Bywators took her. to a restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, about 16 minutes' walk from the doctor' office, sh rmd nothing to pint there, but Dywntorg lofx her there for about an hour and a half while h went to look after some mall. - ' During Pywaters absence Mrs. By waters tcatffled to having , suffered intensely. Questioned as to how she a,nd Bywaters were raglstered at th hotel, sh replied "as man and wife Mr. and Mrs. Tlerson.'V 3 Mrs. ; By. waters said that By waters loft her that Friday night,) going to Leesburg, Va., to see about some dogs, and did not return until 10 o'clock the fol lowing night; While, he was away on this trip, Mrs. Bywaters said there was no one to do as much for her as to hand her a drink ft water and gave as a reason for this that she was a, stranger. Questioned as to whether Bywaters said anything to Dr. Walters, Mrs. Bywaters said he remarked that If anything hap pened to he it might cost him his Ufa. Aed If she said anything to Bywaters as she was going Into the doctor's office that day, she replied: "Yes, I told him I would rather dl than go back there. I told him how terrible I felt and asked him to marry me, I prayed to God that I might die on th waf Into the office." To this Bywaters, she said, -replied : "Go ahead, it is th only tning 19 do." SISTER AND BROTHER ARRIVE. While at the hotel Mrs. Bywaters said that the doctor's wife telephoned her, stating that a man and woman had made inquiries for her and By waters; that sh recognized from the description of the parties given that they were her sister and brother. "How did that affect Mr. By-waters?"- she was asked. "He was very nervous and excited and wanted to return home immedi ately." "What did the doctor say to that?" "He said it would be extremely dangerous and he would not be re sponsible for the consequences. I was too 111 to be moved." She added that Bywaters brought her home in spit of the doctor's warning. Upon reaching home Mrs. By waters met one of her brothers, but did not tell him anything. He later spoke to hor about the matter, but she denied It. Bywaters also denied their relations, but finally they were obliged to confess. The witness testified that a meeting was held be tween Bywaters, her brothers and herself and she became afraid that they were going to kill Bywaters and that she pleaded for his life. During that conversation her brother French said that he did not know that he wanted th,em to get married. The witness said she again plead with her brothers and It wan her pleading thnt saved Bywatera' life. Bywaters said that ho would marry her, but even then he wanted it put off. He left about 6 o'clock that evening, the understanding being that the mar riage would take place at a time to be designated by her brothers. Hoturday when he came again he asked for time, and she Joined in his request. 'Why did you do that?" she was asked. "Because I felt that If he did not want to marry me, he would not treat me right and would desert me." BROTHKRH SHOOK HIS HAND, After their marriage, she said, her brothers kissed her and shook By waters' hand. They told him of the hundreds of dollars they would ad vance him and said they would for get the past. . "What did Rywaters say to their kind offer?" "He, said nothing." The witness then related how By- water had said ho wanted to come to town to get out announcement cards and toll his mother of the marriage. Mrs. Rywaters said that Inter she asked a servant to call By waters on the telephone. "Why did you call him? "Mora uha 1 thought that I would feel safer with him In the room. I felt that If ho was there and saw my condition he would not be so apt to want to leave." Her brother Thlllp came Into the room shortly after Rywaters came, ;i ml later Mrs. Gaines camo In. Hy- wiiters wa seated near the bod and Hhe had ono arm around his neck. Her brother James, who was In the room, asked Bywaters what he In filled to do, meaning If he Intended to leave, but he received no re- HpOtlSf. flic witness testtfled that when Mrs. Gaines came into the room Ry- waters pulled away from her, pul ling her out of bed. He then ran lown stairs. "Then what occurred?" "I was In such a nervous condl tlon that I hardly know. My mind Is almost a blank so far as what has urred Is concerned." Did you se Bywatera after he Jerked away from you?" "No, sir." KINDLY FKELINO EVIDENCED. The conduct of her brothers from the time of the marriage until th time of the shooting, she said, showed evidence of kindly feeling and ther was nothing to Indicate they felt any resentment. This closed the direct examination and the witness wss turned over to Commonwealth's Attorney Keith for cross-examination. "How many times did you see Dr. Walters?" he asked. "I can't tell exactly," "Did (! see his wife?" "V air " "Did you get on friendly termsY" "Yes. Mrs. Walters felt sorry for me and sho was very kind. Sh wanted me to come to her house and remain until I got better." "Did Dr. Walter advise you to get mrrled?" "He did." The witness said she told Dr, Wallers the whole story, telling him of her four brother and her other relatives. She said she then almost reached the conclusion that Bywaters would not marry her. She could not recall having made certain statements to Dr. Walters, which were suggested by Mr Keith. Counsel then cam down to th time when sh and Ry waters returned to Culpepper and of a remark a friend made to Bywaters on the street, Sh realised at that time, she said, that sh and Bywaters were under suspicion. Th witness repeated statement sh hsd mad in hr direct examina tion and Mid It was not until Satur day morning that she told her brother "Jim" practically th whol tory of her treatment Bit told him of th operation and ' Its eonseousncea, thinking h might b abl to hid her shsma. 1 Shortly befor 1 o'clock Mf.
