New York, Oct. 1. Charles A.
Magoon;, the retiring American min
ister to Panama and governor of the
canal zone, arrived here today on
the steamer Panama from Colon.
Governor Magoon said that condi
tions on the isthmus are most favor
able. The canal zona he considers
well governed, and the people happy
and prosperous.

He said h had not
been Informed concerning his sue
i cessor as minister to Panama and de
clined to discuss the possibility of
I himself going to the Phllippnes. He
! is not sure that he is going to the
! Philippines, lie said.
! Discussing conditions on the isth
! mus, Governor Magoon said:
"The work on the isthmus is go
ing on well. 1 can safely say that
the government of the zone is as
good as that of any other locality in
this country. My relations with the
Panama government have been most
pleasant throughout.
"The canal work is progressing as
rapidly as possible but as yet it is
merely the work of preparation. The
main difficulty there is the labor
question. Our labor is drawn from
Jamaica and Barbados, those peo
ple are intelligent and with some
education, but the trouble is that the
West Indian is a bird of passage.
You get him to understand what
you want and fairly educated to his
work, when he suddenly drops every
thing and goes away. What is need
ed on the isthmus is organization of
the laborers. They should be divid
ed into gangs with a skilled man at
th3 head of each gang to instruct
them in the work and to advance
those who become proficient in any
line. Organization along this line
is underway at the present time."
Opposes Chinese I.uhor.
Governor Magoon is not favorably
Impressed with tin: Chinese as a factor
in t lie construction of the canal.
"There are At present from two to
three thousand Chinese on the isth
mus," said Governor Magoon. "and as
a citizen 1 do not think they make
desirable laborers. They cannot be de
pended upon as much as can the Bar
bados or native negro. As soon as the
Chinaman has earned enough money
he starts a shop of his own and the
government loses the man. The good
results that have been attained in sev
eral parts of the world by the use of
coolie labor has been due to meat
power exercised by the coolie contrac
tors. This would almost be a system
of peonage that the United Slates
would not tolerate. If we were to em
ploy coolie labor we would have to
depend on the Chinaman as an indi
vidual, and in my opinion that would
not do, as the coolie will work as little
as possible unless under contract. 1
feel certain that the Chinese would
not be a benefit to the United States."
Another passenger on the Panama
was Richard Stage, who is here on be
half of the conductors' union of Pan
ama. Mr. Stage said that he would
present a protest to the president
against the railroad men of Panama
working more than eight hours a day.

SALTAN SEA DRIVES
OUT THE RAILROAD
(By the Associated Press.)
San Francisco, Cal., Octt. 1. The
Chronicle says:
Although the work of the South
ern Pacific is going rapidly forward
to check the rising waters of the Sal
ton Sea, all efforts so far have been
unavailing, and the officials in charge
lot the work, have given orders to
construct a new track farther from
I the path of the rising sea.
The water of the Salton Sea is al
ready lapping dangerously near the
; present roadbed of the Southern Pa
cific, It is calculated that if-the pres
ent rate of inflow is maintained, the
j tracks of the Southern Pacific will be
I submerged in a few weeks, in fact be
fore it has been checked by the new
i dam.

High Point. N. C, Oct. 1. -Tlv? wreck
here Saturday night on the Asheboro
division was quite a serious one, al
i though only one person was killed as
a result. Engineer Kin Wilson and
Fireman Ivy Hall were badly shaken
I up and bruised about the body con-
siderably from jumping from the ill
I fated train. A negro man who was
walking along the track with the
negro woman that was killed from th'
I ears striking her was also wounded,
I but not seriously.
Detective Ahem of Greensboro spent
the day here, and he has in possession
(parts of a brake which he thinks was
laid on the track and which caused
the wreck. In proof of his belief Will
Mclver has been arrested, charged with
wrecking the train, and is now in the
i city Jail.
