PLAN OPPOSED
BY STEVENS
Chief Engineer Will Resign if Canal
Contract is Given Out,
REVERSES HIS OPINION
Threat Places Administration in Un
pleasant Situation and Delays
Final Decision in Matter.
A Washington special says: The
Administration has been brought face
to face with the alternative of reject
ing all bids for the construction of
the Panama canal by contract or los
ing the services of Chief Engineer
John F. Stevens. This is the reason
for the delay of President Roosevelt,
Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonis
of the canal commission in acting
on the Oliver bid. An effort has been
made to get Mr. Stevens to cliange
his mind, but he has continued ob
durate arid the indications are that
the administration will accede to his
request and the construction of the
canal will be continued by the gov
ernment. /
This information in regard to the
position taken by Mr. Stevens domes
from a source that cannot be doubted,
but'it has created some surprise on
account of the testimony given by Mr.
Stevens before the senate committee
on interocemiic canals a year ago. lie
men said he favored building the ca
nal by contract.
lils friends have advised him that if
a contract is let for construction he
will be robbed of the credit of build
ing this great waterway. Frequent ex
changes of cablegrams between Wash
ington and the Isthmus have resulted'
In a demand by Mr. Stevens for the
acceptance of his resignation if the
contract is awarded.
It is asserted by certain senators
who have taken an unusual interest in
all matters relating to the canal that
If one of the bids for the canal con
struction is accepted it will mean that
the administration has determined to
dispense with Mr. Stevens as the di
rector of the canal construction.
Secretary Taft had a conference on
Thursday with the president regard
ing the Panama canal contract for
the purpose of determining on a eourse
of procedure. The president and sec
retary have before them the complet
ed bid of W. J. Oliver and his asso
ciates. Secretary Taft said he be
lieved an early decision should b
reached in justice to the people who
have their money tied up as securi
ties.
After the conference between the
president and Secretary Taft, Secre
tary Loeb gave out the following
statement:
“The bid of the Oliver-McDonald-
Pierce combination has been received
and examined and meets the formal
requirements. Mr. Paul D. Cravath,
on behalf of his clients, the McArthur-
Gillespie combination, has requested
a hearing before final action is taken.
In addition to granting this hearing,
the secretary of war and the isthmian
canal commission will make as thor
ough examination as possible into the
qualifications, experience, business
standing and achievements of Mr
Oliver and his associates and into the
responsibility of the sureties. Secre
tary Taft and the commission will
pro&ably need a fortnight to complete
a full examination of the bid and re
port to the president.”
Secretary Taft later in the day
made known to Mr. Oliver the result
of his talk with the president and
framed a letter to Judge O'Brien, Mr.
Oliver’s counsel, informing him just
how the matter stood. This letter
stated, among other things, that the
president was very much inclined to
give the contract to Mr. Oliver and
his associates, but that he would not
surrender his right to reject all bids,
even after the further hearing has
been given to the McArthur-Gillespie
I combination.

jenny Washington.
Philip Vickers Fithian, a tutor at
Nomini Hall, Virginia, in 1774, gives
this deserption of Washington’s niece,
Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently
she was a personable young lady,
with all the graces of her time.
“Miss Washington is about seven
teen. She has not a handsome Face,
but is neat in her Dress, of an agree
able Size & well proportioned and ha*
an easy winning Behaviour; She i
not forward to begin a conversation,
yet when spoken to she is extremely
affable, without assuming any Girlish
affectation or pretending to be over
charg’d with Wit; She plays well on
the Harpsichord & Spinet; under
stands the principles of Musick, &
therefore performs her Tunes in per
fect time, a Neglect of which always
makes musick intolerable, but it is
a fault almost universal among young
Ladies in the practice; she sings like
wise to her instrument, £as a strong
full voice and a well-judging Ear; but
most of the Virginia Girls think it La
bour quite sufficient to thump the
Keps of a Harpsichord into the air
of a time mechanically, & think it
would be Slavery to submit to the
Drudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick.’’

A New Hatchet Story.
Professor Gallaudet, who has done t
bo much toward educating deaf mutes,
tells this story: One of the profes
sor’s favorite pupils, an unusually
precocious child, was asked by his
teacher if he knew the story of George
Washington and the cherry tree. With
his Angers the youngster repeated the
tals without a break, until he came
to the point 'where the elder Wash
ington question his son. “When
George’s father asked him who hack
ed his favorite cherry tree,” con
tinued the child, moving his signall
ing fingers almost as rapily as some
persons move their tongues, “George
put his hatchet in his left hand —”
“Wait a moment,” said the professor;
“how do you know that he took the
hatchet in his left hand?” “Because,”
answered the boy, “he needed his
right to tell his father that he had
chopped the tree.”

Calling the Father of this country
