They spent four months in the tropical
jungle tracing the course and source of
the Chagres river, whose spring freshets,
sometimes forty feet high, so far have
proved an insuperable obstacle to a sea
level canal project.”
By the use of data collected by the
Ehle party, Mr. Wallace said that it would
be possible to divert the Chagres from the
Caribbean slope to the Pacific side of the
Isthmus. This could be done at an ap-
proximate cost of $16,000,000, releasing $20,-
000,000 of the $36,000,000 destined for the con-
struction of locks.
Laporte, Ind... Sept. 29.—Mrs. Mollie Rot-
zen of this county is plaintiff in an. un-
usual divorce suit. She has petitioned the
court to grant her a temporary divorce,
making no denial of her affection for her
husband, but setting forth in her com-
plaint that existing conditions have caused
an estrangement which she believes time
will heal. She therefore asks for a di-
force for a determinate period, when the
marriage vows may again be assumed.
In the interim she prays the court that
her husband pay her alimony sufficient
for her support.
The action is said to'be the first brought
under the recent act of the legislature
providing for determinate periods of di-
vorce, and in this action the constitution-
ality of the law will be tested.

Beginning next week, the Union Pacific
Railroad company will begin issuing a
bulletin news service for the benefit of
its passengers on the overland limited
trains.
This service, which will be the first
thing of the kind attempted by a railroad,
will be sent out at noon and at 4.30 in
the afternoon, and posted in typewritten
form in buffet cars. Later, it is stated,
the service will be extended to other
through passenger trains on the system.
All the news of importance will be
transmitted by the company over its own
wires, and will be delivered at scheduled
points.

Party Visit Structure on Bulkhead and
Are Well Pleased.
The first official visit of any of the
members of the Galveston Boat and
Yacht club, with the exception of the
building committee, to their new quart-
ers on the bulkhead opposite Tremont
street was made last evening by a party
of possibly 25. They had as their guests
Com. Lange, Mr. J. H. Hawley and Mr.
J. C, Purcell. The party left the wharf
about 6 o’clock on board boats propelled
by members of the Galveston life saving
crew. They arrived at the new boat club
a few minutes later. They were met by
Contractor Funk and shown about the
structure, which was satisfactory in every
particular. Despite the delays which have
been occasioned it is thought that the
building will be completed in plenty of
time for the holding of the grand
ing near the middle of October.

Douglas. Ariz., Sept. 24.—The United
States inspectors connected with the Ariz-
ona bureau of immigration, who watch
the line at this point, are unable to cope
with a gang of smugglers who have
hatched a plot to evade the law and bring
Mexican women into the United States
for immoral purposes.
Sam Pepper, the head of the gang, is
under surveillance, but the officers can
find no law under which he can be charged
with a crime and they see no reason why
he cannot go on with the illegal traffic
despite them.
Pepper’s scheme is to find temporary
husbands for the women on this side of
the line. As the law provides that an
alien woman who marries an American
becomes thereby a citizen of this country,
the inspectors cannot prohibit the entry of
Mexican women who have followed Pep-
per’s directions and taken this step. Im-
mediately after their marriage the women
are abandoned by tlieir husbands and
turned over to Pepper for disposal.
A few days ago three Mexican women
bound for Pepfier’s house in Douglas were
caught trying to sneak across-the line
and were sent back to their homes in
. Agua PrietaJ Peppe^, on being advised of
the action of tfi-e -officers, easily found
three Americans who for a small fee
agreed to become" temporary husbands
of the girls.. He secured marriage licenses
from Tombstone ahd on Monday they
again evadqd the officers, slipped across
the line and were married to the three
Americans. Charles Alexander, William
Cummings and Herbert Rowland by name.
The. inspectors reached the scene just
as Judge Royal O.- Johnson of Douglas,
a justice of the peace, was innocently tying
the knots. When arrested, the women set
up their claim to citizenship and the com-
mitting magistrate was compelled to dis-
charge them.
The women and their temporary hus-
bands parted soon after, Pepper taking
them in charge, as had been agreed.
ATCHISON STOCK TO ROCKEFELLER
Topeka Journal.
New York, Sept. 29.—A deal involving in
one transaction upward of $20,000,000, and
which may mean the control of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. with a
capital of $216,000,000, was completed when
Jacob H. Schiff of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. turned over to- the Rocke-
feller interests a single block of 240,000
shares of the common stock of the Atchi-
son railroad. It has been known for sev-
eral months that the great banking firm
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was accumulating
the Atchison securities, but tor whom
was, a secret until today.
When the Atchison, in reaching out for
a line of its own to the Pacific coast,
purchased control of the San Joaquin
railroad, which gave it entrance into San
Francisco, it was feared there would be
fierce competition between the Union and
Southern Pacific on one side
Atchison on the other. Traffic
ments were,
thus far, both the Atchison and its com-
petitors have lived up to strictly. The
Rock Island, under the management of
the Moore party, was looked upon as an
interloper ' in the transcontinental field.
That company proposed to build a line
to the Pacific.
The control of the Atchison by the
Rockefeller interest will prevent the Rock
Island from making such close traffic
arrangements with the Atchison as to
constitute a menace to the St. Paul, the
Union Pacific and the various roads west
of the Mississippi which are dominated
by the Rockefellers. There will be no
necessity for the St. Paul building through
to the coast if the Rockefellers, con-
trolling both thp1 Atchison and the Union
Pacific, can prevent competition from
roads traversing territory tributary to the
St. Paul system.
There is no necessity for heading off
the, St. Paul, because it already belongs
to the Rockefellers, but the purchase of
the Atchison fastens the hold of the
Rockefellers more completely upon the
Union Pacific and the. Southern Pacific,
preventing any disagreement with the
Harriman interests, and likewise effect-
ually bottling up the Rock Island, un-
less its management, which has its hands
rather full, should decide to build to the
Pacific coast.
From Messrs. Thos. Goggan & Bro.
there reaches The Tribune office some
of the latest successes in instrumental
music, among which is a marvel of
rythmic harmony by our own Prof. J. J.
Blood, called the “Southern Cross
Waltzes.” For those who desire a waltz 1
which is not only melodious, but also has
the right swing for dancing, this composi-
tion is sure to please. It is .issued under '
a very attractive title page. A northern '■
house has already placed an order for 1000
copies of this production. i
Six instructive tone pictures by Prof. <
Karl Wilhelm Kern, opus 62, deserve spe- ’
cial mention. The title are “The Happy ;
Farmer,” “Dancing Sparrows” (valsette), ■
“Merry Birds,” “Gladys” (waltz), “The '<
Brooklet” and “Little Mae.” These pieces :
are very easy and written in the first 1
grade and the same appeals especially to
teachers and pupils who desire easy,
melodious pieces to break the monotony ■
Qf studies, and at the same time be pro- ■
gressive and instructive.
Frof. K. W. Kern is a prominent St. J
I Louis musician and as a composer is
I knows all over the United States. <

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 29.—George Ehle, an
American engineer, with a party of young'
graduates, in four months has made dis-
coveries about the- Panama canal which
the French engineers, failed to make in
fifteen years. His information makes it
possible to solve the baffling problem ot
the Chagres river freshets by diverting
the stream to the Pacific coast. It also
releases $20,000,000 for excavating a sea
l<fvel waterway.
This announcement of the engineering-
work thus far done by the United ’ States
Panama canal commission has been made
before the Chicago Press club by Chief
Engineer John F. Wallace, who recently
returned from the Isthmus.
“In their explorations,” said the chief
engineer, “resident Engineer George Ehle
and his college lads endured hardships
that it took American pluck to overcome.
By Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 29.—The apparently
conflicting reports which reach the public
with reference to the condition of the iron
trade are less at variance when the sit-
uation is more carefully studied, says the
Iron Age. It is hardly necessary to re-
peat that the pig iron industry with its
open market reflects most closely the
shifting currents of the demand. It is
here that activity has been sustained fair-
ly well lately. Quite a number of large
buyers have entered the markets. Cor-
respondents at different points report quite
an aggregate of orders, and not further
inquiries. In the Pittsburg district about
17,000 tons of Bessemer and malleable Bes-
semer have been placed, and two large
consumers of foundry iron have covered
large lots. In Chicago several blocks of
5000 tons each have been taken by smelt-
ers and a considerable tonnage, in the
aggregate, has been sold in smaller
amounts. An important New England
plant has just contracted for a lot of 12,-
000 tons of pig iron, and has taken some
basic pig for prompt delivery. In east-
ern Pennsylvania several lots of 3000 tons
and upward of foundry iron have been
disposed of, and there have been some
sales of basis pig at lower prices than
those which have prevailed for some time
past. The position of the southern fur-
naces has not undergone material change
lately. Pig iron production is proceeding
at an increased rate, but the very large in-
terests express belief that the maximum
will be reached early in November, and
that then some blowing out may become
necessary. Two. currents of belief tinge
the views on finished products. Many see
a good deal of encouragement in the great-
er freedom with which specifications on
old orders are coming in, and attach lit-
tle Importance to the fact that, on the
whole, new business is slow. Others state
that they did not expect any stimulation
of the demand from the recent reductions
in prices, and do not look for the develop-
ment of a buying movement until Febru-
ary oi’ March. The course of events in the
interval must determine whether that buy-
ing movement will start at the present
level or whether the widespread views in
the trade that a somewhat lower range
of prices must first be reached are sound.
In steel rails, prices for which are ad-
mittedly out of joint with the rest of the
market, no action is likely until Decem-
ber. No meeting has been called as yet
for next month, nor will there be, accord-
ing to very high authority. -
Some good orders are reported for fin-
ished iron and steel, but are not numer-
ous enough to give all ample work. Ex-
port tonnage, practically confined to
interest, is pronounced good.

An Associated Press dispatch this morn-
ing from New York city says:
“Milt G. Barlow, the original Uncle
Black Joe of the minstrel stage, for many
years widely known as Uncle Torn, and
later with ‘The Texas Steer’ company,
is dead in a private hospital in this city
from cancer, aged 55 years.”
Some thirty years ago in a rambling
two-story frame building, the site of which
i§ now occupied by an auction house on
Postoffice street, near. 22d, there was a
variety show that ran ail the year around.
It was of a class that in these days would
be termed “hoilky tonk.” A long, gang-
ling fellow who had “beat” his way over
from New Orleans on a Morgan liner ap-
plied for a job in a black-faced turn, and
after a trial was accepted. His name
was Milton Barlow. He put in several
winters here between the local house and
a place of like entertainment in Houston.
Haverly’s Minstrels came here for an en-
gagement at the old Tremont opera house,
and after the. performance the minstrel
men drifted around to the variety show.
There they saw Milt Barlow in his orig-
inal turn of “Old Black Joe’’—and, by the
way, it was an artistic gem even though
in such surroundings—and it took very
few minutes afterwards for the Haverly
manager to engage him on the spot. Ho
rapidly rosje to fame and was for years
the senior star of the famous Barlow,
Wilson, Primrose and West Minstrels. He
returned here season after season, and his
annual visits were memorable events to
both himself had old admirers, and he al-
ways had a kindly affection for the Island
City. For thegiast decade he had cut out
minstrel work' ^itirely and devoted his
time to creating black-faced old men
characters in farcf comedies and melo-
dramas, with great success. His “Uncle
Tom” i nthe dramatization of Mrs. Stowe’s
ante-bellum novel was a classic in its
way, and all his successors in the part
of the would-be minister to Dahomey in
