Washington, Dec. 28.--Another mile post was set up at the 'begin- . ping of this month in the history of the construction of the world's great- - est engineering work, when the en- '-gineers announced that on that date '_ four-fAlths of the excavation requir- . ad to complete the Panama canal had been done. There remained only, 39,- - 669,715 cubic yards of material to : be removed and that task is expected ~ to be completed within the next year. These game engineers have finally f “broken the back.\ as it is expressed technically, of the vast earth slide Into fhe famous culebra cut which threatens to give infinite trouble. This was accomplished by the explo- pion of 700 pounds of dynamite at 24«foot . hotes, ripping of. the whole crest of the great bank just above the slide worth of the central division offices.. - Prevent Ramming Rocks. Washington, Dec. 23.-yTo prevent big ships using the Panama canal from ramming the lock gates the _ canat commission has just authoriz- ed the purchase of forty-eight spe-, - cially designed machines for lifting ..-, and lowering fender chains of great strength in the locks. These will cost $428,005, and will be supplied by the United Engineering and Foun- dry company. No less than 25,608 big spiral #prings, weighing altogether 640,- 200 pounds, have also been ordered from the Railway Steel Springs com- pani to be set in the walls of the locks to prevent the ships from crushing anu grinding against the concrete. Harnessing the Sun. Washington, Dec. 23.-The Pa- nama canal engineers are trying to tarness the gun for the job of lamp- lighter. In the acetylene burning light houses along the banks of the canal will be in installed cylinders When the sun rises. in the morning and the rays fall upon these cylinders the latter will expand and close values that . will omit gas to the burners. As ' night approaches and the suns rays diminish in power the cylinders will f contract and again turn on the gas, which will be ignited by small jets. Thus a considerable economy will be ~ pealized in the hire of light tenders and in the consumption of gas, 10 INVESTIGATE __ SEIZURE OF VESSEL London, Dec. 23.-The Khedival Mall Steamship and Dock Graving company, the owners of the British steamer Menzaich which was seized yesterday in the Red Sea by the Ita- Han cruiser Puglia made representa- tions today at the foreign office in regard to the capture of their vessol by the Italian warships. The cap- tain of the steamer has cabled to the company that besides the $150,000 which were on board in course of transit from one bank to another the Italians also took possession of a | large quantity of Purkish parcels and goods. The foreign office will not take any action in the matter until it has received an official report from the British consul at Hodexda who is invvestigating. Alexandria, Egypt, Dee. 23.-Theo / British steamer Menzaleh was only temporarily delayed by the Italian cruiser Paglia. After taking posses- sion of the $150,000 in cash and the Turkish parcels and goods on board. the Italian warship allowed the Men- saleh to proceed on her voyage. | N SHURI WEIGHTS TENDENT OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Amsterdam, Troy and Glens Falls | Aro Among the Cities Mentioned as, Places Where Active Work Should Be Done Toward Securing Correct Weighing and Measuring Devices for the Public. Albany, Dec. 238.-KReports from sealers of fieigh-ts and measures | throughout the state show a marked decrease in short weighing according to State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Reichmann. In a state- ment today he says that any person has a right to call upon weights and measures officials for protection at any,time and- that such services must be given free of charge. \If there is any question in the mind of any one relative to: weights | and measures,\ says Superintendent Reichman, \they should call upon their county or city weights and measures official to straighten 'the matter out, especially in the matter of coal .- The purchaser who pur- chases at a price below the prevaii- ing market price should be very careful to know whether he is receiv- ing 2,000 pounds to a ton. \Judging from the conditions of weights and measures used in trade | in Cattaraugus, Chenango, Delaware, Erie and Montgomery counties very little is done to . obtain correct weights and measures. In contrast to those counties are Suffolk, Sche- nectady, Monroe, Nassau and Albany counties, where conditions are very good. Troy, Glens Falls and Amster- dam are the cities which are in need | of active work in eliminating the incorrect weighing and measuring devices and securing to the purchas- ing public full weight and measure.\ NEW MONEY FAMINE lt METROPOUS New York, Dec. 23..-On the last business day before Christmas New York discovered that there was a \famine in money.\ At the sub- treasury it was said today that the supply of crisp,. unused bills and shining coins which it is usual to distribute at this season of the year to persons and institutions | which. wish them for Christmas gifts has been exhausted. Each year the banks are subjected to a heavy demand for new money, and formerly they had no difficulty in obtaining it from the sub-treas- ury. Secretary MacVeagh made a ruling some months ago, however, which upset this procedure. His ruling was to the effect that where there was sufficient currency in the nearest sub-treasury to meet de- mands, the government would not pay the cost of transporting bills or coins merely to meet the preference of the banks. Those banks which wished unus- ual supplies of unused currency have consequently been obliged to pay the cost of transporting it from the mint. Where they were willing to meet this charge the treasury department ac- commodated them.
