frank generosity, the epic nature -of
the task on which they are engaged and
Its world-wide Importance. They are
doing something which will redound
Immeasurably to the credit of Ameri
ca, which will benefit all the world, and
which will last for ages to come. Un
der Mr. Shonta and Mr. Stevens and
Dr. Oorgas this work has started with
every omen of good fortune.
Are to Gat Badges.
'•They and their worthy associates,
from the highest to the lowest, are
entitled to the same credit that we
would give to the picked men of a
victorious army; for this conquest of
peace will, In Its. great and far-reach
ing effect, stand as among the very
greatest conquests, whether of peace or
of war. which have ever been won b»
any of the people of manKind. A
badge Is to- be given to every Ameri
can citizen who for a specified time has
taken part In this work; for partici
pation In it will hereafter be held to
reflect honor upon the man participat
ing. Just as It reflects honor upon a
soldier to have belonged .to a mighty
array in a great war for righteous
ness. Our fellow-countrymen on the
Isthmus are working for our Interest
and for the national renown In the same
spirit and with the same efficiency that
the men of the army and navy work In
time of war. It behooves us In our
turn to do all we can to hold up their
hands and to aid them In every way
to bring their great work to a tri
umphant conclusion.”
Fully 2,000 words of the message are
taken up at Its beginning In telling In
detail the movements of the presiden
tial party while on the Isthmus. Ac
cording to this bold recital of fact no
cartoonist of that historical trip, no
matter how wild and freakish his fan
cy, has succeeded In doing this stren
uous Jaunt justice. They were on the
go from 12 to 18 hours a day. rain or
shine, day and night. The president
saw everything, henrd everybody, look
ed Into all the houses, public ami pri
vate. ale of everything, drank of
everything.
Of the new reservoir back of Mount
Hope, built to supply water for Colon
and Cristobal, he writes;
“One of the most amusing (as well
as dishonest) attacks made upon the
commission was In connection with this
reservoir. The writer In question usu
ally confined himself to vague general
mendacity; but In this case he specific
ally stated that there was no water In
the vicinity fit for a reservoir (I drank
It, and It was excellent), and that this
particular reservoir would never hold
water, anyway. Accompanying this
message, as I have said above. Is a
photograph of the reservoir as I my
self saw It, and os It has been In exist,
ence ever since the article In question
was published. With typical Ameri
can humor, the engineering corps still
at work at the reseiyolr have christen,
ed a large boat whlth Is now used on
the reservoir by the name of the Indi
vidual jyho thus denied the possibility
of the reservoir's existence.
Too Many Barrooms.
He notes that there seemed to be too
many saloons In the zone. “But the
new high license law which goes Into
effect on January 1 next will probably
close four-fifths of them. Resolute and
successful efforts ore being made to
minimise and control the sale of li
quor.”
Ry personal Inspection and personal
experience he came to the conclusion
that there was no cause for complaint
about food. In detailing his experience
he says:
"The married men ate at home. The
unmarried men sometimes ate at pri
vate hoarding houses or private messes,
but more often. Judging by the answers
"f those whom I questioned, at the
k 'vcrnment canteens or hotels, where
•be meal costs 10 cents to each em
ployee. This 30-cent meal struck mo
being as good a meal as we get In
jne United States at the ordinary hotel
In which a 50-cent meal is provided.
Three-fourths of the men whom I
questioned stated that the meals fur
nished at these government hotels
"ere good, the remaining one-fourth
'hot they were not good.' I myself took
dinner at La Boca government hotel,
no warning whatever having been
s’lven of my coming. Therd were two
‘ 'ottts, as generally In these hotels. In
0" the employees were allowed to dine
without their coats, while In the other
•hey had to put them on. The lo-cent
m»nl Included soup, native beer (which
"•is good), mashed potatoes, peas,
beets, chill con carne, plum pudding,
tea, coffee—each man having as mScti
of each dish as he desired.
“(*n the table there was a battle of
liquid quinine tonic, which two-thirds
■ the guests, ns I was Informed, used
•very day. There were neat table
< loths and napkins. The men who
"ere taking the meal at or about the
same time Included railroad men, ma-
chlntsts, shipwrights and members of
’be office force. The rooms were clean,
1 omf'irtable and airy with mosquito
screens around the outer pluzza. I was
Informed by some of those present that
American officials, the school teachers
and various employees appeared, bring
ing their wives, there being dancing
Rnd singing. There was a piano in the
room, which. I was informed, was used
for the music on these occasions. My
meal wds excellent, and two newspa
per correspondents who had been in the
IsthmuB several days Informed me that
It was precisely like the meals thiy
had been getting elsewhere at other
government hotels. One of the em
ployees was a cousin of the secret
service man who was with me, and he
stated that the meals had always been
good, but that after a time he grew
tired of them because they seemed so
much alike.”
As to Foreign Labor.
A steady effort, he says. Is being
made to secure Italian labor, and espe
cially to procure more Spaniards.
"It has not proved possible, how
ever," he says, "to get them In any
thing like the numbers needed for the
work, and from present appearances
we shall In the main have to rely for
the ordinary unskilled work partly
upon colored laborers from the West
Indies and partly upon Chinese labor. It
certainly ought to bo unnecessary to
point out that the American working
man In the United States has no con
cern whatever In the question as to
whether the rough work on the Isth
mus, which Is performed by aliens In
any event. Is done by aliens from one
country with a black skin or by aliens
from another country with yellow- skin.
Our business Is to dig the canal as ef
ficiently and as quickly as possible;
provided always that nothing Is done
that la Inhumane to any laborer, and
nothing that interferes with the wages
of or lowers the standard of living of
our own workman. Having In view
this principle. I have arranged to try
several thousand Chinese laborers. This
is desirable both because we must try
to find out what laborers, are most ef
ficient , and, furthermore, because we
should not leave ourselves at the mercy
of any one type of foreign labor. At
present the great bulk of the unskilled
labor on the Isthmus Is done by West
India negroes, chiefly from Jamaica,
Barbados and the other English pos
sessions. One of the governors of the
lands in question has shown an un
friendly disposition to our work, and
has thrown obstacles In the way of
our getting the labor needed, and it Is
highly undesirable to give any outsid
ers the impression, however III founded,
that they are indispensable and can
dictate terms to us.”
Problems of Construction.
In discussing the actual work of
construction he says;
"The work Is now going on with a
vigor and efficiency pleasant to witness.
The three big problems of the- canal
are La Boca dams, the Oatun dam and
the Culebra cut. The Culebra cut must
be made anyhow; but, of course,
changes as to the dams, or at least as
to the locks adjacent the damp,, may
stilt occur. The La Boca dams offer
no particular problem, the bottom ma
terial being so good that there Is n
practical certainty, not merely as to
what con be achieved, but as to the
time of achievement. The Oatun dam
offers the most serious problem which
we have to solve, and yet the ablest
men on the Isthmus believe that this
problem Is certain of solution along the
lines proposed, although, of course, It
necessitates great toll, eilergy and In
telligence, and although equally, of
course, there will he some little risk In
connection with the work. The risk
nrlses from the fact that some of the
material near the bottom Is not so good
could be desired.
If the huge earth dam now contem
plated Is thrown across from one foot
hill Jo the other we will have what Is
practically a low, broad mountain rldgo
behind which will rise the Inland lake.
This artificial mountain will probably
show leas seepage, that Is, will have
greater restraining capacity than the
average natural mountain range. Tho
exact location of the locks at this dam
—as at the other dams—Is now being
determined. In April next Secretary
Taft, with three of the ablest engineers
of the country—Messrs. Noble, Stearns
anil Ripley—will visit the isthmus, and
the three engineers will make the final
and conclusive examinations as to tho
exact size for each lock.
"Meanwhile the work Is going ahead
without a break.”
Whirr of Big Stick.
He speaks of honest orltlrs and
doubting Thomases as Jo be expected
In connection . with a work of this
mammoth proportion. Then the whirr
of the big stick Is heard In this para
graph:
"There remains an Immense amount
of as reckless slander as has ever
been published. Where the slanderers
are of foreign origin I have no concern
with them. Where they are Ameri
cans. I feel for them the heartiest
contempt and indignation; because, in
a spirit of wanton dishonesty and mal
ice. they are trying to Interfere with
and hamper the execution of the great
est work of the kind ever attempted,
and are seeking to bring to naught
the efforts of their countrymen to put
to the credit of America one of the
giant featB of the ages. The outrag
eous accusations of these slanderers
constitute a gross libel upen a body
of public servants who, for trained In
telligence, expert ability, and high
character nnd devotion to duty, have
never been excelled anywhere. There
Is not a man among those directing
the work of the Isthmus who has ob
tained his position on any other basis
than merit alone, and not one who has
used Ills position In any way for his
own pecuniary advantage.”
Speaking of the commission he says:
“A seven-headed commission is of
course a clumsy executive Instrument.
We should have but one commissioner,
with such heads of departments and
other officers under him os we may
find necessary. We should be expressly

Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 17.—Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the joint smasher, left
here for Johnson City, Tenn., but she
will go to Atlanta next week, where she
will hold forth In the Tabernacle.
Mrs. Nation has written Governor
Beckham, of Kentucky, roasting Presi
dent Roosevelt because he refused to
express his views on the tobacco and
liquor traffic In his last message, after
having been requested to by the United
Mothers of the World, In session at
Hartford, Conn. She asks Governor
Beckham to have prohibition and o,
woman's suffrage plank In the Demo

right and will Insure the election of a
Democratic president In 1908. She
claims that because Roojevelt refused
to give his views on the tobacco and
liquor questions, It means the death
knell to the Republican party.
Mrs. Nation held forth for the last
time at the auditorium In this city last
night.
Yesterday afternoon she spoke to a
large audience of men only on the sub
ject of Impurity.
Regnrdless of what the people may
think or say about her, Mrs. Nation

sharper than a two-edged sword tells
them that they ought to quit the busi

Rome, Italy, Dec. 17.—Soldiers with
flzed bayonets stood guard last night
to prevent demonstrators from march
ing on the Vatican.
Nor was this precaution unnecessary.
Led by radical Socialists and several
republican members of the chamber" of
deputies, demonstrators made an at
tempt to break through the cordon of
troops, and when they found they
could not <lo so, marched in mock pro
cession.
They carried candles and Intoned the
miserere as an Indication of the death
of clericalism.
“Down With the Vatican,”
Cries of "Down wltjt the Vatican,”
"Long live Clemenceau,” and “Long
live Prance" were heard on every side.
Demonstrators friendly to France and
to the number of several thousand,
filled the streets and took part In tho
disorder. They gathered In the plaza
adjoining the Farnese palace, the seat
of the French embassy, and expressed
their pleasure at the action of France
In passing the law separating the
church and state.
Garrison Called Out,
As soon as It became clear that trou
ble was brewing, the entire garrison of
Rome was called ont to protect the Vat
ican. The government made every en
deavor to prevent the demonstration,
and to stop It after It hoa been started.
The French ambassador, M. Barerre.
received a deputation from the demon
strators, and to them he expressed his
appreciation for the sympathy dis
played by the peo’ple of Rome.

After this the disorder broke out
afresh and the troops were ordered to
charge and disperse the crowds. 8om i
of the members of the crowd were In

OFFICER OF SCOUTS WEDS
GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND HIM;
A TEN YEARS' COURTSHIP
A romance which began nearly ten
years ago when patriotic sons of the
South were enlisting to fight for thetr
country In Cuba, culminated In a mar
riage Sunday night at the Kimball
house when Miss Teresa O'Malley, of
Columbus, Miss., and Lieutenant Jas.
B. Hutcheson, 'of the Philippine Scouts,
U. 8. A., were wedded by the Rev. Lynn
R. Walker, of the West End Presby
terian church.
It was when the first call to arms
was sounded away back In 1898 that
Lieutenant Hutcheson enlisted In the
army to help throttle the power of
Spain In the Queen of the Antilles.
Troops were mobilized at Columbus,
Miss., and It waa there'that Lieutenant
Hutcheson went from his home In
Montgomery, Ala.
He met. Miss O'Malley and it was a
case of love at first sight. But not for
long did the young soldier see his
sweetheart. In a short time he* was
aboard a ship on his way to the trop
ics. All through the Cuban campaign
he fought and when he did return to
this country it was only to be sent to
Manila. There he soon made a name
for hlmaelf and before long he re
ceived a commission In the Philippine
Scouts.
. few times since he went to the
far away possessions of Uncle Sam
he cams home, but not often. But with
thousands of miles between them the
young couple kept up their correspond
ence. Their love did not grow cold and
the lieutenant longed for the time when
he would reach the states on a leave of
absence.
He arrived a few days ago from the
Philippines and he then saw Miss
O'Malley again for the first time In five
years. When the marriage was decided
upon Mlee O'Malley was In Spartan
burg, S. C„ . on a visit. Lieutenant
Hutcheson left Montgomery with a
party of friends nnd relatives. She left
Spartanburg and on Sunday the two
lovera met In Atlanta.
Dr. Walker came from West End
with some of the lleutenant’a Atlanta
relatives and the next scene waa en
acted In the parlors of the Kimball
house. The ceremony was performed
at 6.30 o'clock, while the guests of the
hotel were at dinner and while the two
were being made one, the orchestra at
the hotel played Mendelssohn's wed
ding march. This music excited Inter
est among the diners, but by the time
an Investigation was made the couple
had been married and were receiving
the congratulations of their friends.
In the party who witnessed the cer
emony were: Mrs. Pries, of Montgom
ery, a sister of the groom, and his
brother, Elliott Hutcheson, of the same
city; Alva Fitzpatrick, a well-known
Montgomery newspaper man, together
with Mrs. Fitzpatrick, and tlielr daugh
ter, Miss Lizzie Fitzpatrick; Mr. and
Mrs. James Campbell, of West End,
Atlanta, and Lieutenant John J. Ltpop
nnd Mrs. Llpop. Lieutenant Ltpop Is In
charge of the United States army re
cruiting office In Atlanta and he served
through the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns with Lieutenant Hutcheson.
