methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.

Cable Ship it Unreported to Local
Cable Office—May Have
Had Bad Weather.
No word has been received in the
local cable office from the cable re
pair ship Burnside, which is supposed
to have arrived at the scene of the
break in the cable, some time yester
day. At least they wired to the mas
ter electrician that they expected to
start the repair work and for him to
sit in the cable office here with his
feet on the table and watch the ma
chine for the first signs of a mes
sage.
A great deal depends upon the
weather conditions in the Pacific as
to how long the ship will be in mak
ing the necessary repairs. No grap
ling can be done when a heavy sea is
running.
FRENCH FOLK WANT
PANAMA STEAMER
PARIS.—The little steamboat Lou
ise, which made the first passage of
the Panama, is a relic of the French
enterprise, and is associated with his
toric recollections, wherefore the Fi- j
garo proposes a public subscription
to enable the French authorities to
purchase her from the United States I
and keep her as a souvenir.
*The boat was sent to Panama more
than twenty-five years ago and was |
intended to be used as a tug. Feb.
28, 1886, the Louise conveyed Ferdi
nand de Lesseps, his son, and a dele
gation of members of the chamber of
commerce to the mouth of the Rio
Grande. The spot where she anchored
is near the point where the works
for the port of Balboa have just been
[ begun. The arrival of the Louise was j
hailed by an army of black laborers.
She returned to Punama and for
years was the regular boat used by
the agents of the French company in
crossing the bay. When the disaster
to the French enterprise came the
Louise was temporarily abandoned.
Years passed before work on the ca
nal was resumed, then, with the rest
of the French material, the -vessel be
came the property of the United
States government.
The Louise, says the Figaro, ought
henceforth to be sacred to French, and
she deserves a place of honor in a
French port on her coming retire
ment.

Major Lewis Livingston Seaman, '

erer of the tse-tse fly, the insect re- j j
sponsible for the sleeping sickness, ;
has advised Colonel Goethals to re
quest the government to import a ;
herd of the huge animals, and locate
them in and about Lake Gatun.
. It had been reported that the pro
lific growth of vegetation about the
banks of the lane was proving a wor
ry to the engineers at the canal zone
and until the plan of Major Seaman
was put before Colonel Goethals, no
suggestion that would rid the lake of
the growth had been suggested.
It is said that Major Seacan made
the suggestion because he believed
the elimination or close of the vege
tation would help to maintain the
general health of the zone.
