A contract for the hotel and subsistence conces sion on the Panama canal aone, award ed to Jacob E. MarkeL of Omaha, Neb., by President Theodore P. Shonts, of the Panama Railroad company, will stand. This, in effect, is the decision of President Roosevelt, who has approv ed a report on the subject made to him by Mr. Shonts. The contract amounts in the aggregate to many mil lions of dollars, but Mr. Shonts' report indicates that it may be abrogated at the will of the government, which ac tually will own the permanent plant used by Mr. Markel in filling the terms of his contract. Mr. Shonts' statement clears up al legations to the satisfaction of the President. He, therefore, has approv ed the report and no further action concerning the protest probably will be taken. Mr. Shonts says in his report that the bid of Markel in every item but one was either as low or lower than the other bids, and that all bidders were fairly treated on precisely the same basis. THE AUTOMOBILE CONQUERS. Stranded Circus Back. New York, Sept. 16. A number of the members of the McCadon circus, which was recently stranded at Gren oble, in Southern France, have ar rived here on the steamer Roma. Four of the party were cabin passengers, among whom was C. W. McLeod, ad vance agent for the circus. The rest came over in the steerage. McLeod sajd the troupe had numbered about 300 persons, and that when it was stranded because of a collection for rent levied by a French financial insti tution on the receipts of the show 120 of the members were left destitute. The American consul at Grenoble, Charles P. H. Nanon, cared for them. Many members of tne circus are still at Grenoble or Paris, so destitute that they depend for support upon private subscriptions of money. SAYS BRYAN TO ROOSEVELT. Will Not Make a". End of War by a Scheme of Investigation. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 16. A letter ad dresed to President Roosevelt from W. J. Bryan, in which a plan for the prevention of war is suggested, has ben made public. Mr. Bryan congrat ulates the President, in bringing Rus sia and Japan together, and says: "Why not ask Congress for authori ty to submit all international ques tions (when agreement cannot be reached by parties interested), to an impartial board for investigation and report? Investigation will in nearly every case remove the cause of com plaint and reconcile the parties. Questions which a nation might be un willing to submit to arbitration in ad vance could be settled by investigation by an impartial international board." Curbing Scandinavia. London, Sept. 15. Reports received from Copenhagen says that some of the powers are intervening to secure a peaceful settlement of the difficulties 1 etween Sweden and Norway. No authoritative account has yet besn issued regarding the progress at Ksrlstaa of the negotiations between the Swedish and Norwegian commis sione.s. Both the Swedish and Norwegian pa pers regard the crisis as acute. The Swedish papers even talk of an ulti matum and preparation of mobiliza tion, but though the situation between the two countries is strained, it is not believed it will end- in war. The Baraca Class of Ninth Ave nue Baptist Church has an interesting contest on between the "Blues" and the "Reds," for attendance and new members brought in for a definite per iod. The losing side is to provide an entertainment for the winners. Each side wears a colored button, signatory of the respective sides. Flying Motor Stages Operated Be tween Gold Camps. Telephones For Emergencies. Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 16 The auto mobile is gradually conquqering the desert. The distance from Tonopah to Goldfield is about 27 miles, and from Goldfield to Bullfrog, the latest of the great Nevada mining districts, is 65 miles. There is nothing but a desolate desert between these points. There are old-fashioned stages of the Deadwood style that traverse these desert dis tances, but the 20th century way of traveling is by auto, over roads that have been especially constructed for such travel. From Tonopah to Goldfield the fare is $6.00, and it takes you only a little more than an hour to traverse the dis tance. Each auto carries from four to seven passengers, and the man who drives the machine over the desert gets $6.00. or the amount of a single fare, for each trip that he makes. From Goldfield to Bullfrog the fare is $25.00. Most of the Goldfield-Bullfrog trips are made by night, and they take any where from six to a dozen hours, ac cording to the ability of the chauffeur and the stability of his machine. The nights in the desert are usually cold, just as the days are generally hot, and a breakdown for any length of time means discomfort. But these auto men make use of interesting expedients for obtaining relief. Bullfrog and Gold field have been connected by a tele phone line ever since the Bullfrog dis trict was discovered, about a year ago. Sometimes the auto comes to a sudden stop, and you are told that it may be several hours before it is in working order again. The chauffeur reaches under his seat and pulls out a little box, with which he disappears across the desert waste. He is headed for the telephone line, which is near the auto road, and with his tiny field instrument he climbs a pole and in the shortest possible time he has made his wire con nections and is in communication with the home office. If the damage is serious, the company will send out another auto to take you on your way, and these rescuing ex peditions are always outfitted with food and water. Each machine is not only provided with a telephone, but with a fire extinguisher for use in an emer gency. It was with the greatest wisdom that H. H. Clark chose Bullfrog for his tewnsite. soon after the discovery of gold by "Shorty" Harris on what is now the Original Bullfrog mine and the Bullfrog Extension mine, three or four miles away to the westward. The fi-st Bullfroggers would have had their city close to that original mine, and there was a -:od when even Mr. Clark him self, r, " r he had come into mammoth minin: possessions on Ladd Mountain, would ave had the homes of himself and his followers in that section, three miles from what are now the principal gold-producing eminences. But he was quick to realize the importance of the later discoveries, and under his loader- ship those who had first camped on the western border of the Amerigosa de sert quickly removed their habitations to where the present town of Bullfrog is situated. THE STATE UNIVERSITY. Opening Most Flattering and the At tendance in All Departments Large. Football Prospects. Chapel Hill, Sept. 16 The Universi ty of North Carolina has opened with a considerable increase in numbers in every department. Nearly all of the students have registered and are en tering on their year's work. The first day of regular duties, President Ven able delivered a speech of welcome to the student body, in which he outline ed the conditions of life in the Univer sity and the duties of a student. The new chemical laboratory, which was begun last spring, is nearing com pletion, though the work has been hin dered through a delay in the receipt of material. Among the additions to the faculty for the coming session are Prof. N. W. Walker, formerly of Asheboro, who has taken charge of the department of school organization; Dr. Charles Herty, who will fill the chair of chemistry, left vacant by Dr. Baskerville; Dr. W. D. MacNair and Dr. L. B. Newell, of Mecklenburg, who will be professors in the Medical Department. The football prospects are very en couraging. In addition to quite a num of old men who played on the varsity last year there are five or six men who won fame at other colleges on the gridiron last fall. Coach Warner, of Cornell has the men hard at work and will have them in good trim for the Davidson and University of Pennsyl vania games, which will be played on the 7th and 14th of October. Several sub-coaches will probably be engaged and every effort is being made to de velop the promising material on hand. Mass Meeting Tomorrow. Brevard Street Methodist Churcn: Preaching tomorrow at 11 a. m., and 8 p., by Rev. C. M. Campbell, of Thom asville,. Mass meeting at 3 p. m., ad dressed by the following laymen: Mr. M. F. Kirby, M.
