In support of the commission's position that the canal can be contracted to a greater advantage than it can be built by the government Shonts' letter says that '"because of the unprecedented and greatly extended industrial activity of the time, and the consequent violent competition for all classes of superintendents, foremen, sub-contractors, skilled mechanics and even ordinary laborers it would take the commission years to secure men and build up departmental construction organizations which would o,unl in efficiency those now controlled by the lending contractors of the United States."

Man Who Tried to Duy the Indiana Legislature Is Now Living in i: Ireland? Indianapolis, Oct. 10. 'Cigarette P.aker," legislative bribe-giver and erstwhile representative of the cigarette Interests when the Parks anti-cigarette bill was before the last Indiana legislature, isn't living the life of a millionaire in Canada any more, according to Sheriff LMwanl Sourbier, who lias Just returned from Hamilton. Out, which is said to have been l.aker's temporary home until a few months ago. Raker's present whereabouts is not known to Sourbier, the latter says, although he admits that the much-wanted representative of the cigarette trust was in Hamilton for several mouths, and until June . 1000, when he left for some unknown place. Said Sourbier: "P.aker. was in Hamilton up until June C. when ho left. Where he went I do not know. Since he went away, how ever, I have had a letter from him and the letter was postmarked Londonderry. Ireland.

and the prevention of that friction which, in the high state of tension between the political parties, is inevitable during the present crisis. What the President Deire. "The president of the United States deems it of the utmost importance,"

says Taft, ''that the American forces d- not engage in conflicts with Cubans, but that disorders by Cubans be suppressed by Cubans. It Is also expected that the officers and men. both of the army and the marine corps, will exert every effort to show all courtesies possible to Cubans of all parties, and avoid in any way injuring their sensibilities." Amnesty Not for Future Crimes. In the amnesty proclamation, which Is of the most sweeping character, complete pardon is granted to all persons involved in the killing of Representative Yiliuendas at Cienfuegos, in September. 100.", as well as to everybody implicated in the killing of several rural guardsmen atCuanabacoa last February. Trouble is predicted by some Cuban publications as a result of this decision to withdraw the prose

cutions against the murderers of Villuenda. The proclamation serves notice that armed bands breaking the law after today will be prosecuted and denied the benefits of amnesty.

What Happened to It at the Annual Meeting Statement by the New President. Milwaukee. Cot. 10. The Wisconsin Central Railway company was formally transferred to the control of new interests at the annual meeting of the stockholders, which was held at the

general otlices of the corporation in this city. The new board of directors is headed by George M. Cumming, of New York. William A. Bradford. Jr., of Cincinnati, is slated to succeed H. F. Wliiteomb. of Milwaukee, as president of the company, and George II. Cumming. of New York, as chairman of the board of directors in place cf William L. Hull. Bradford has made the following statement: "There is no intention whatever of consolidation or combination between the Wisconsin Central and the other roads; and all reports to the effect that this property, is to be 'absorbed,' consolidated with, or in any manner placed in a position by which It loses its identity and individuality as a separate and distinct railway system are without the least foundation."

This, it is pointed out. is not because the words attributed to the president indicate any definite change in his intentions, but because he did not say anything about the early restoration of the sovereignty of the republic of Cuba. The opinion is now absolutely vmiversa' in Ha.vana that the early restoration of Cuba's sovereignty is utteily impracticable. The closest friends of ex-President Palm a and the most prominent insurgent leaders agree on this feature of the situation.

Findlay, O.. Oct. 10. The suit of the state of Ohio against the Standard! Oil Company of Ohio, in which the company is charged Avith conspiracy j against trade, has begun here, and l progressing at a rapid pace. A jury was secured in less than two hours; County Prosecutor W. L. David presented his case; Yirgil P. Kline, attorney for the defense, made ansAver; Attorney G. II. Phelps, of the prosecution, then read documentary evidence until the court adjourned at 4:45 p. m. He promises to continue the reading during the greater part of today. In brief, David stated to the jury that the Standard Oil company became a trust in 1882, and although it had several times since changed the form of its organization, had not ceased to commit the offenses of a trust.
