WONDERFUL locks
OF PANAMA CANAL
U is impossible to convey in
words anything approaching an
adequate conception of the pic
ture which the scries of locks of
the 'Painama canal, with' Ihfpr
masside, lowering Walls and j
their e(|iiipmenl ol' colossal gates
presents, says a writer in Scrib
ner's Magazine. It delies descrip
tion, as it does the camera even
in its wonderful modern develop
merit, and can be portrayed oiily
by the inspired pencil of a Pen
nell. It is stupendous, prodig
ious, overwhellming—even these
adjectives are inadequate.
Every device that human in
genuity can c<$ipeive lias b&cn
adopted to secure safety for the
vessels wsitig (He locks. Inf the^
first place, no vessel will bep’cfP-'*
milled to enter or pass ttirtiujath
the locks under its own priwer.
The Worst accidents which have
licctirred in locks hlthertp have
linen- due to an engineer in the
engine room misinterpreting a
fchjtpal |rofli (lie brif^,'
ing ahead when he should nave
gone brick, or vice versa, and
ramming a gate. When a ves

TO OTHER CITIES
Traffic on Three of the
PMrieipal Railroads in
England Tied Up.
London, Sept. IN.—The sym
pathetic strike movement has
spread to other cities than Dub
lin and now embraces Liverpool
and Birmingham. Both the dock
and railroad employes al all three
cities quit work yesterday and has
resulted in the complete paraly
sis of traffic on three of the
principal railroads of England.
H is feared that* the strike will
extend to all railroads and will
he the most, serious strike which
Hie country has ever seen. The
railroads are attempting to se
cure the promise of their employ
es that they will mil engage in
a sympathetic strike if the com
panies do not come to the as
sistance of the roads involved in
the trouble, but are meeting with
no success. Labor organizers are
busy among all local unio'ns
throughout the country and boast
that the entire country will be
tied up shortly if the demands
of the strikers are not. granted.

Sail Diego, Sept. IS.^-llun
ilreils of American refugees are
reaching this city every week
from points along the coast of
Southern California. They have
taken the precaution of register
ing I heir properly with the Mex
ican officials before leaving, but
many of them are practically des
titute, having been forced to
leave everything behind.
The refugees slate that even
the rebels have turned against
the gringo' and welcome his de
parture. The eoavst of the main
land is overrun by bands of rob
bers who owe no allegiance to
the^governmenl nor the retools,
but am acting independently. II
is this class which the. foreigners
fear most, as they have shown
themselves to be the vicious ele
ment which is the result of a
protracted warfare.

at Nanking are crowded with
those wounded during the recent
battle when the federal troops

JAPS WANT WAR
WITH UNITED STATES
Josch I >. llalluday. Ihe edilor
uf Ihe Japan Advertiser of Tokio,
who has arrived in America from
Yokohama. declares lhal all Ja
pan is eager fur war with the
United Stales. The uneducated
[classes would plunge into the
I struggle at once, first seizing the
Philippines and Hawaii, 1ml the
[educated classes favor wailing
ten years until the Russian war
debt shall have been extinguish
ed, he said.
“'file feeling,” Mr. llalluday
Ipdded, “is not so-inuch that Japan
and Ihe United States will Chine
to bltfws, but that the white and
yellow races niusi fight out their
differences'. The way in which
the yellow man has been treated
by the white is the foundation
for this feeling. The situation
in California is not Ihe funda
mental trouble, but it has been
aggravated and appears on Ihe
surface as Ihe chief cause of dis
cord between Japan and the Un
ited States.” ,f' . * ,
Mr. llalluday also says lhal the
exchange of peace professions
and Ihe peace preaching of Amer
ican missionaries are' distaste
ful lo Ihe Japanese people for
“war is in lludr hearts and they
welcome no line of speech which
discourages it.”
