Prospect for holding a successful labor day parads received another blow today when union musicians informed the Chicago Federation of Labor that they would withdraw from the line of march rather than play with men who were uniforms other than those adopted by the Chicago Federation of Musicians The decision of the musicians threatens to result, not only in a lack of music, but also In the withdrawal of a number of trade organizations from the parade! The Labor Day committee has decided that only those musicians who wear the regular uniform or appear In citizens' clothe, will be permitted to play, but the teamsters and freight handlers have Issued a defiance to this ultimatum and have engaged bands whose memn uniforms. ber wear A number of the teamsters and freight handlers local further declare that If the bands they have engaged are refused a place in the parade they will not march.

The only possible hitch on the horizon of the peace conference, according to reports current here which, however, are not officially confirmed, arises out of evident misunderstanding over the juration of the neutralization of the blind of Sakhalin. According to the Japanese It contemplates a mutual obligation on the Jirt of the two countries not to fortify udr respective possessions on the tabs.

During tha year additional survey and observations have been made on the isthmus, tha result cf which is laid bafora you. It may ba stated hers in general terms that tho Information which they furnish does not involve any radical change in the plana previously favored. Among tbe olxMirvations to may he included the experience of tbe last year la excavating the Culebra cut, from which some of our engineers have drawn unwarranted conclusions aa to tha probuble mat of tha work. Thera la nothing in tbla experirnca to justify the belief that tha unit prices used in previous estie mates were too high or that tho of th time required for completing the work was too liberal. Nevertheless this acceptance has been used s nn argument In a aca level canal, which plan ha been condemned by the two commissions muntloned above. It becomes necessary to consider once more the sea level canal esil-mat- chema, "The plan described In the first pamphlet (whlrh is submitted among other papers) is one which was adopted by congress at least by Inference In tbe act approved June 28, 1901. It la tha plan under which the work Is now progressing and under which all work of rnnsiructlon ha been done since the United States acquired tha property. It closely resembles the plan of the Com Its Technique, described in the second pamphlet.

"Tbe disadvantage of tbe change is the somewhat greater difficulties l:i constructing tbe higher dam and th lock of greater lifting difficulties, however, which are by no means insurmountable. A disadvantage which the two plans have in common la that tbe rapid developments of naval architecture made it difficult to determine the proper dimensions of the lock chambers. It Is to be considered, however, that up to tbe present time such development has not been greatly hampered by deficient depth in the harbors of the world and that development is not possible to dispense with locks ertlrelv. Even with tbe sea level canal a tide lock will be required at the Panama end. In addition io tbe plan above mentioned, a pamphlet has been prepared by London with dates, figures givend out in outline, s sketch of a plan hy him which is Interesting on account of its novelty and Is, therefore, laid before you.

With the exception of the one death at Hamburg, tha cholera Is confined to the asst Prussian districts and every case of Illness in these districts must Immediately be reported to tha authorities.

A doubt, almost amounting to conviction, exists that tbs Russian administration has not yet been aroused to tho danger and that Us task of dealing with the probau that lem Is much more difficult which confronts the authorities here. The Wlssenscbafichen correspondent cites the reent declaration iff tha Russian plague that since April 21 no cases of cholera have occurred In the Russian empire and that the suspicious cases reported In Yilna, Lodz.
