Chairman Shouts and Chief Engl
neer Stevens lunched with President
Roosevelt Friday. This was tho first
opportunity the president had had tG
discuss canal mutters with Mr. Stev-
ens and they went over the subject
pretty thoroughly. It can be said that
Vr. Stevens has been given practically
I free hand to do the construction
work of the canal. He has his own
ideas about the methods to be pursued
und will not be interfered with In the
work of his department
His desire is to dig the canal and

tails to he worked out by Chairman
Shouts. Governor Magoon und the com
mission,
After the conference with the Presi
dent Chairman Shouts talked frankly
about the work of tho commission and
11 bo ut canal conditions.
"Just now," he said, "we have
about 12,000 nien ut work on the ca
nal. That Is about us many as we
could employ under the existing con
ditlons. We hive our executive staff
thoroughly nrganl.ed now but the or
ganization has not been coninletcd on
the isthmus. That Is a part of the
work Mr. Stevens will have to do. His
engineering ta(T must ho organized
und Its work mapped out
"We must make arrangements for
the housing, feeding and general care
of our employes. In Itself a great task,
and we must complete the sanitary ar
rangements In the American zone. All
this will require time and energy and
hard work, hut It will be accomplished
successfully. I have about concluded
arrangements with a man who is to go
to the isthmus to arrange for the re
creation of the canal employes. We
will have reading rooms, amusement
halls nud all that sort of thing, by
means of which the men mny pass
their idle hours pleasantly and profit
ably."
"No," continued Chairman Shouts
In response to an Inquiry, "the sanitary
conditions on the Isthmus are not so
bad as they have been reported to be,
A lot of people have become fright
i ned by (lie yellow fever, but It Is not
so bad as might he expected. Reports
from the Isthmus regarding health
conditions have been grossly exag
gerated."
Want Less Restriction.
President Wheelwright of tho Cham
ber of Commerce of Portland, Ore., on
behalf of that organ l.at Ion, sent a let
ter to President Roosevelt bearing
upon the question of Chinese exclus
ion.
The letter urges President Roosevelt
to take "steps toward negotiating a
new treaty with China that shall nro-
vide for the removal of the exacting
conditions that now attach to the en-
ranee Into this country of their mer-
chants, students and professional men.
or the absolute freedom of al! Chin-
so residents of this countiy t visit
heir own land and return hero, and
for the admission during the next ten
rears of a number of male Chinese
aborers that In any one year shall not
exceed one-tenth of one per cent of
tho population of this country.
American labor has little appre
ciation of lis own dignity and power,
as well as of Its capabilities for Im-
irovement, if it raises objection to
such limited Chinese Immigration as
that amounting In 10 years t-J less
ban I per cent of our population and
!ii!s endeavors to deprive tho nation
cf this additional minus to Its develop
ment, not only in this country, but in

The president Is asked to give pub
licity to his intentions in this regard

The story of the loss of the Japanese
cruiser Takasago In December last,
only published sinco the destruction

classic.
After the Takasago struck a mine
nnd began to sink, the crew assembled
In perfect order on the upper deck,
there to await the battle with a i;tormy
sea and death.
(.iipcilu Islilhashi ordered every

After that, as a relaxation, tho

Takasago only 13:1 were rescued

Albany, July 18. The Joint session
of the legislature found itself with a
Lew problem Immediately upon con
vcnlng last night In the defiance of its
subpoena by Managing Editor J. A.

The clerk called the name of Editor

was read:
Objects to Jurisdiction.
"To the Joint Session of the Senate
and Assembly of the State of New
York:
"The undersigned haviug been
served with a subpoena to appear be

any and all telegrams, letters, papers
or other documents in any matter re

and origin thereof and which may
pertain to or be required In investiga
tion of the said subject hereof, res
pectfully objects nnd protests against
the jurisdiction assumed by you In
Issuing such subpoena and requiring
my attendance nnd the production of
Eald papers, upon the following
grounds.
"First, that said Joint session Is or
ganized only for the purpose of hear
ing the proofs and determinin
whether a certain justice of the su
prenie court shall be removed from
his office and the subject matter
stated in said subpoena is not mater
ial to such inquiry or involved therein
and therefore the said Joint session
is without authority to Inquire int
the matter referred to In said sub-
poena or to require my attendance a
a witness thereto (see People ex rel
McDonald vs Keller. !)9 N. Y.. 4fi:i
485).
"Second, that a power of investiga
tlon Is given only to each house in
respect of matters upon which It Is
authorized to legislate and the said
Joint session not having such power
nor this extraordinary session having
any present authority to so legislate
it is without power to investigate.
"Third, that neither house of tho
legislature is now convened nor any
of the members of the said houses at
the time of the publication of tho nr
tide here referred to or at tho time
of the Issuing of said subpoena had
pny legislative capacity until required
by the governor's direction. On tho
contrary, the said houses were excer
cising a special authority not requir
ing the action of the governor thereon
aside from which each of them was
without power to act.
Lastly, the state constitution pro
vides (article 4, section 4) 'Ho (the
governor) shall have power to convene
tho legislature or senate only on ex
traordlnnry occasions. At extraor
dinary sessions no subject shall he
acted upon except such as the gover
nor may recommend for consideration.
The subject referred to In your sub
poena has no relation to the subject
reConimended for your consideration
,v tho covernor and as a consenuence
you are prohibited by tho constitution
from acting In respect thereto.
"Respectfully,
"John A. Hennessey,
Letter Produced a Sensation.
"Managing Editor New York Press."
This letter produced a profound sen
sation and opened up at once the ques
tion of the powers of tho joint ses
ion. Assemblyman Rogers immedi
ately presented a resolution, already
prepared, instructing the lieutenant
governor and the speaker of the as
sembly to Issue a warrant for the nr
rest of Mr. Hennessey and his appear
ance before the bar of the Joint ses
sion, directing that he be held In cus
tody of the sergeant -nt-armr, to await
action on his case. Mr. Rogers de
clared that Mr. Hennessey's answer to
the summons was "astounding" and
"taking advantage of a subterfuge."
Senator Grady took immediate issue
with this proposition, asserting that
the only way to coerce a witness was
for each house to act separately, after
getting" legal advice upon the iiniiiie
question. Thus began a long debat
over the authority of the Joint session
Senator Grady contended that Hennes
sey was not guilty of contempt since
the session had no power to Issue tho
tubpoena. Senator Fuge and Assem-
blyman Fish sided with him, while
Senator Elsberg took tho opposite
view.
The question was left in the all
when Senator Raines ended the discus
sion by moving that Mr. Rogers' reso
lution be laid on the table and thai
Editor Hennessey be again subpocn
aed under the form provided for In the
special rules of the joint session. Such
a subpoena will definitely require him
to give testimony relative to the
Hooker case.
This closed the incident for the
time being, and the taking of testi
mony was resumed.
RYAN TO SELL STOCK.
Will Turn Over Equitable Holdings
at Price He Paid.
New York, July 18. From a direc
tor of the Equitable Life Assurance so
clety, it was learned that Thomas F
Ryan, who recently purchased th
stock holdings of James H. Hyde, ha
made an agreement with the thret
trustees of the Ryan holdings and th
newly elected directors to sell the
stock he purchased back to tho Eqult
able Foclety.
This sale Is to be made and as soon
as possible, it is stated, nnd Mr. Ryan
has agreed to turn It into the society,
thus thoroughly mutualb.ing It, for the
same sum he paid for It, $2,500,000
plus 4 per cent interest, between thf
dates of his purchase and the sale.
It was stated that a number of the
newly chosen directors, those selected
by the trustees, Grovor Cleveland
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and Georgt
Westinghouse, accepted posts in thfi
directorate only after they had beer
assured most emphatically that suc!i
an agreement was in view and that
such an agreement existed between
Mr. Ryan nnd the three trustees.
There was a meeting of the execu
tlve committee of the society yester
day but at Its conclusion Chairman
Morton said there was no business ol
any moment transacted.
RIVER'S COURSE CHANGES.
As a Result Bridge Over Missouri
Must Be Shifted.
Omaha, July 18. The Missouri
river has at last changed its channel
under the big Illinois Central railroad
bridge at this place, and it will be
necessary for the railroad people tc
shift the heavy draw from the Ne
braska to the Iowa side of the stream
Where there were 30 feet, of wate
two weeks ago, today there Is scarce
ly three feet, and on the Iowa side ol
the stream, where for years there ha'
been only a shoal and sand flat, the
Missouri is now 40 feet deep.
The change was made during the
flood of last week, and was discovered
today when the pilot of the steamei
Gtinter hail soundings made before he
would attempt to pass tieneath the
bridge with the draw open.

ments were then niado to pay over to
her the $500 she Inherits. The money
has been held by Solomon K. Hoffman,

Mlnnlch'? Station, Lehigh county,
wrote hep friends a few years ago that
ne thought her dead over 30 years ago
and her Berks relatives had not hoard
from h?r for 45 years. Mr. Mlnnlch
was too Infirm to come here.
