Chicago, Feb. 15. That the condi toons in the Panama canal zone are at the present deplorable is tho ver dict of Dc. Jacob Frank, who return ed from the Isthmus yesterday after studying conditions as the guest of J. F. Wallace, the chief engineer of the canal. Dr. Frank went to Panama primar ily to attend the Pan-American medi cal congress, the scientific portion of which he opened by reading a paper on "Surgery of the Liver." "Conditi'ns In the canal zone are being remedied as rapidly as possible by Mr. Wallace and his associates," said Dr. Frank, "but Americans are making a serious mistake in goiug there at present with a view of em barking in any business. Everything is controlled by either the govern ment, the Panama Railway or the United Fruit company. "Better wages are paid in this coun try. In fact, the ordinary working man gets an average or just over 75 cents a day, and complaints are heard on all sides. At least $1.50. per day ought to be paid the men, as the work Is dangerous and diseases are easily contracted. There is not a single American laborer, so far as I could learn, on the canal." MAMMOTH AND MOHAWK. Report reached the city yesterday from a reliable source that the Mo hawk and Mammoth mines will short ly resume, development The itV hawk has been closed for ten yeans while the Mammoth has been shut down for over four years. The directors of both properties, which adjoin, have lately visited the mines and are now on the ground. The plans for reopening their work ings are the result of these visits. Su perintendent Blair, of the Mammoth, is credited with the statement that his mine will be taking on full shifts about the first of the month. Both the Mohawk and the Mam moth have In past years demonstrat ed themselves wonderful properties. It is believed that further development in each will bring in even more won derful ore bodies than have been had at any time in the past. During her activity the Mammoth produced over sio.Annrnnn in gold. The Mohawk also has a high producing record. jupw pfjwitcwtiadv it DrmMMPiurn ilLif i LltiiLliiifliii ii IlLUUlfllTlLltLIi By Examining Committee of the Legislature MORE TINKERING WITH MINING INDUSTRY port on the penitentiary at Yuma came in today with recommendation that a prison commission be appoint ed to select a location for a new branch penitentiary at some other point In the territory than Yuma. The committee declared that It would cost not less than $75,000 to put the pres ent penitentiary in proper shape to care for the needs made by the rapidly increasing population of the territory and to make the improvements that the penitentiary stands in immediate need of. It did not believe that the present location of the penitentiary was the place to put this amount of money, holding that the sum could be spent at some other point to greater advantage. Mining law discussion today was enlivened by the presentation ot a coupie more measures anecting tne industry. One of these, by -Krugcr, is a bullion tax bill modeled after the Anderson bill except that it puts tne tax only on output and not on min ing property. The other was a mine inspector bill, introduced by Neville.

King Exceedingly Charry of Remarks on Subject of War. London, Feb. 15. Tbe sixth session at the first) parliament of hie reign was opened this afternoon by King Edward, wlfti aH the historical pag antry which has marked ceremonies since his asscension. The sovereign himself read a speech from the throne to the assembled lords and commons in the upper clam ber. The document was common place. The only reference to the Russ-Jap-anese war, which the King said "Un- hapily continues," was announce ment that "my government has been careful to observe in tfils matter tbe obligations incumbent upon a ne'utral power." , The later proceedings of parli.nj-'" left the impression in the lobb. that the government will manage to hold out until the end of the session. The government's legislative profram. which is devoted in the main to social reforms, will be fairly popular while avoidance of difficulties like that of redistribution of seats and Premieur Balfour's firmness in thrusting aside the fiscal problem will tend in the same direction.

A meeting of the American Develop ment & Prospecting Co. was held last night at the office of Judge McDon ald. The company is composed al most entirely of Bisbee people. It has claims adjoining the Silver King property near Jerome. Development work has- been going on for about a month with very satisfactory results. The meeting last night was for the purpose of arranging for work on a more extensive scale than yet attempt ed. The findings so far made justify the confidence of those interested that they have an excellent prospect. be the man who will Introduce the measure. It is probable that Mr Page, of Coconino, will introduce such a bill in the Council. The idea seems to be prevalent that the bill will not prohibit gambling, but .vill be for the purpose of taking away open gambling in saloons and making gambling houses have separate rooms from the saloon proper. The Douglas justice of the peace bill, as it has been branded, which passed the House, seems sure of de feat In the Council. In the House Mr. Bailey fought the measure, stat ing that the Douglas people did not J want the additional justice of the peace.

General Stoessel and General Reiss, his chief of staff, who acted as in terpreter, graciously received a cor respondent. They said it wa3 a sad thing to return vanquished, but they were conscious of having done their entire duty in holding the fortress as long as they did. They could not have held Port Ar thur at the most four days longer. The munitions and food supplies bad been almost exhausted. There remained only C.000 loaded shells and 2,000,000 cartridges, which were powerless against the ll-inch guns which rained their fire upon the Itussiaa defenses. "In the garrison' said General Stop!spi, "thjare were 30,?00 men, o! whom 18,000 were In hospital and 4, 000 were non-combatants.

General Lew Wallace, author of Ben J Hur, one time minister to Turkey and Veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, died at his home in th!s city tonight, aged 78 years. The health of General Wallace has been waning for several years, and for months, despite the efforts of his family to keep the public in ignorance, it has been generally known that his vigorous constitution, cbuld not much longer withstand the ravages of a wast ing disease.

He concluded by saying: "The czar and my peers will judge whether I should have prolonged the slegfe, or by a heroic but criminal act have blewn up the fortress. I pre fer a less great name in military an nals to having 30,900 lives on my con science." A number of the other officers whom the correspondent interviewed did not share this moral satisfaction of General Stoessel. They expressed highly violent resentment toward Admiral Prince Ukhtomsky for his disastrous handling of the fleet. against several incapable geaerals and above all against ex-Viceroy Alex iff. The last-named they declared had foreseen nothing and prepared noth ing. It was necessary to reconstruct the greater part of the fortifications under deplorable conditions and under the fire of the enemy. The officers declare that General Stoessel was a brave man, but not a genius. General Kondratenko, they said, was the real soul of the de fense and was adored by his men. Whan he died Port Arthur died with him. Smyraoff and several other generals in spite of the czar's permission, pre ferred captivity to a shameful return. In spite of the sympathy of the pas sengers and the warm ovations they received at Saigon, IntZb-Chlna, tha Russian officers on the Australlen are all melancholy. When they were ask ed if they were glad to return to their fatherland, they replied "No," and ad ded sadly that If General Kondraten ko had been in command at Port Ar thur they would not have been here.
