WASHINGTON. Marth 19. In concluding h!a hearing before the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce to-day. Admiral Walker, president of the Panama canal commission, stated that actual work

on the canal would lie-in after the commission had made a stay of a few weeks on the isthmus, for which it was to sail on March 2D. The arrangements for this work will be completed in Washington, where the commission is to have one of Its headquarters. Admiral Walker, In an?wer to a question, said that a large number of inspectors would be employed by the commission. The inspectors would be engineers, and he diJ not want the law to provide that they should be selected through the Civil-service Commission. "Admiral." asked Chairman Hepburn, "what you have said iii disparagement of the Civil-service Commi.ion has been very painful to some of the members of the committee. Don't you think it would be possible for you to select what charwomen, scavengers and water carriers you will need through the civil service.?" "I am very sorry to be misunderstood," replied the admiral, "beca use I am a thorough believer in civil service when it does not apply to us. But I am very sure that it would not be satisfactory to the Isthmus of Panama." Admiral Walker explained that the estimate of cost of the canal made by the last commission did not include the expenses of iroverninK the canal zone. Consult rable discussion was Indulged in as to what provision should be made in the proposed law regarding the disbursement of money and the auditing of accounts, but no conclusion -was reached. The admiral wanted every safeguard possible in this connection. The engineering features of the work were explained at some length as well as the intense interest which prospective contractors are already taking in the matter. The admiral said that on the steamer on which the commission was to sail state rooms had been engaged to the capacity of the ship by the agents of the prospective contractors who wanted to look the ground over. In this connection he advised that no requirement of law should make it necessary to do the work by contract, as he believed contractors might combine to the disadvantage of the government. It was the intention of the committee, he said, to continue actual work on the canal as, now being carried on by the French company, in order to demonstrate the exact cost of such work. The engineering feat of the whole enterprise was explained to be the construction of the Bohio dam. It will he-necessary to go 120 feet below the sea level to get the proper foundation for this dam. Although there have been many borings for rock bottom. Admiral Walker said that many more would have to be made because it 'was essential that the engineers should be absolutely certain of the proper foundation before beginning the work. Chairman Hepburn suggested the possibility of a failure to find the proper foundation, and asked what the commission would lo in this event. He wanted to know if the construction of the canal depended on the dam. This is a question which would have to be met, was the answer. The admiral, however, said he had no doubt that It was feasible to construct the dam. On the question of a sea level canal Admiral Walker declared positively that In his opinion it would never bo necessary to go to the exlense of constructing such a canal. A lock canal would do all the work desired and cost much less. Representative Harrison, of New York, explained to the committee the provisions of his bill for the government of the canal zone. The bill provides for a commission of twenty business inrn. the ensinrerlng work to be supervised by a corps or engineers. MORALES TO RECEIVE FULL RECOGNITION Action of United States Government May End Revolution in San Domingo. WASHINGTON. March 13. It Is probable that an end may be made. of the Dominican difficulties by the extension on 'the part of the United States government of full recognition to General Morales as President of San Domingo. One result of the Mayflower's trip was to confirm the official opinion that Morales has sufficient strength of character and resources to maintain a stable government if the United States and other nations will prevent the illicit supply of arms and ammunition to the insurgents. As it Is, the arrival of every vessel with ammunition In her cargo marks the revival of the revolutionary movement which seems quite purposeless. The State Department already has given some information on this subject to the shipping interests doing business with San Domingo, having satisfied itself that nearly all of the arms and ammunition imported into. San Domingo came from the United States, and there may be further action in that direction before long, all with the view to terminate the present deplorable condition in Ban Domingo without direct intervention by the United States. 'ABSENCE TO FORFEIT RIGHTS AS CITIZEN Naturalized Americans Affected by New Treaty with Haitian x Government. "WASHINGTON, March 10. Secretary Hay and Mr. Leger, the Haitian minister, to-day exchanged ratifications of the Haitian naturalization treaty which will become almost immediately effective. The new treaty marks a distinct advance in tuch conventions because it contains a clause prescribing definitely that a naturaliezd citizen who returns to the country of his nativity and remains there continuously for more than two years may be regarded as having abandoned the citizenship he acquired by naturalization. A great part of the correspondence of the State Department with European powers is said to be caused by the omission of some such provision as this from the naturalization treaties. KING MENELIK'S GIFTS. Cub Lion Sent to the Zoo, but Tusks Taken to White House. WASHINGTON. March lD.-In charge of keepers from the National Zoological Park the cub Hon sent to President Roosevelt as a present from King Mentiik, of Abyssinia, arrived here to-day from New York.

Bright, Genial, Gifted Young Men Who Are Private Secretaries to the Hooster Senators Both Are Newspaper Men

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. March 19. Tact, and plenty of it, must be possessed by the young man who expects to succeed as the private secretary of a member of the United States Senate. The senator may not have tact, but the secretary must have it. The secretary must be a jack of all trades. Some people are unkind enough to say that he must be all things to all persons. But this is not true. He must have those qualities of tact and diplomacy so useful and necessary in the game of politics. The most successful private secretaries In Washington in recent years have been men who got their early training in newspaper work. Daniel Lamont was a reporter before he became the right-hand man of President Grover Cleveland. Later Lamont became secretary of war. Now he is a railroad man and worth millions. Lamont is a striking illustration of the success of a reporter in a confidential position. Of course, the secretary of the President fills a more responsible position than does the man who holds a like position with a senator. But' the senatorial secretary has his hands full. He has his responsibilities, his cares; his duties are exacting; he must have a level head, a capacity for work and loyalty to his chief. The work of the secretary becomes more pressing during a session of Congress. In addition to the legislative routine which devolves on the secretary, he must also give his personal attention to a Toluminous mall and the thousand details of departmental business. Then he must keep a watchful eye for visitors from the State. He must pilot them around the Capitol and see to it that their sojourn at the seat of government is entirely satisfactory to all concerned. This will give a faint idea of the duties of a secretary. The salaries of these overworked young men range from $2,500 to $5,0jO a year. Those who receive the maximum have the good fortune to serve senators identified with the "millionaires club" in the upper house of Congress. The Indiana senators. are served by secretaries of more than ordinary ability. Jerry GEH. -WOOD ROUTS 2,000 Reduces Their Fort by an Accurate Artillery Fire and Kills and Wounds 100. NO LOSS BY AMERICANS MANILA, March 13. News of ah important military engagement has just been received from Catabalo, capital of the province of Mindanao.

His defensive works were destroyed and their abandonment forced by the accurate lire of the battery. Two thousand Moros made their retreat with a loss of 100. The Americans suffered no losses. Twenty-four cannon, forty-six Ivintacas (native artillery) and a largo quantity of ammunition were captured and the fortification reduced.

JERRY A. MATTHEWS.

A. Matthews, of Indianapolis, presides over the clerical force In the office of Senator Fairbanks, while Thomas R. Shipp, of Irvington, occupies the corresponding position in the office of Senator Beveridge. Matthews is a journalist, a lawyer and a diplomat. He graduated as a journalist in Washington, took his degree as a lawyer in Roston, and acquired diplomacy In the heat and excitement of lloosier politics. Tom Shipp is a younger man. Rut his future is full of promise. Senator Beveridge does not pretend to be a politician, but Shipp is a close student of the art. Tom Shipp's countenance is one of profound Innocence. His face is his fortune. He is generally regarded at the Senate end of the Capitol as one of the most competent of private secretaries. Jerry Matthews came to Washington fifteen years ago as the correspondent of a Chicapo paper, lie continued in the field until his appointment as the receiver of a national bank in Roston, where he continued his law studies, taking his degree in jne of the colleges in the City of Culture. Mr. Matthews has a wide acquaintance among public men, especially with Republican leaders of national prominence. He is a strong writer, especially on political subjects, and is a frequent contributor to the Eastern newspapers. It Is the intention of Mr. Matthews to take up the practice of law in Indiana. He will soon be admitted , to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, on the motion of Senator Hoar, the venerable statesman from Massachusetts. In addition to serving a3 secretary to Senator Fairbanks. Mr. Matthews is clerk of the committee on public buildings and grounds, of which the senator is chairman. Mr. Matthews Is now preparing a compilation of the public building laws of the United States. Tom Shipp deserted the newspaper field in Indianapolis a few years ago to take a minor position in the office of Senator Beveridge. Tom wanted excitement, and admits that his wish has been gratified. He is a close adviser of Senator Beveridge, and intensely loyal to his chief. The senator places the bulk of his mail and all of his department work Into the hands of his secretary, which enables him to devote his time almost exclusively to the weighty subjects that occupy the attention of the Senate. Thomas R. Shipp and Jerry Matthews are close friends, and occupy joint apartments on Capitol Hill. While Tom and Jerry are closely confined to their official work, they nevertheless find time to enter into the I social festivities of the Indiana colony.
