CANAL MEASURE.
Some Pro and Con Opinions Are
Given Out-
THE PANAMA CANAL COMPANY
Failure of Legal Commission Said
to be Before Headquarters.
Hanna is Scheming.
i From onr Regular Correspondent )
Washington, May 4, 1900.
Does the administration really
favor the Nicaragua Canal? In
view of the known condition of
public sentiment, that question
may sound odd, but there were
things said in the debate which
preceded the passing of the Nicara
gua Canal bill by the house which
made it pertinent. Representative
Hepburn, of lowa, who was in
charge of the bill,had a sensational
row with Representative Cannon,
of Illinois, a man close to the ad
ministration, whom he charged
with working in the interest of the
Panama Canal ring, in trying to
defer action on the bill. Repre
sentative Burton, of Ohio, also a
man close the administration,
made a speech against naming the
route of the canal in the bill.
These things were enough to arouse
the suspicion that the administra
tion was not acting in good faith,
and there were others. It is said
that the failure of the canal com
mission to make a preliminary re
port was owing to a hint from the
administration. Perhaps Boss
Hanna thinks of working the
Panama Canal company for a big
camaipgn contribution, At any
rate, it is well known that the bill
just passed by the house will not
be acted upon by the senate at this
session.
Capt. Chadwick has found out
that the protection extended to
Rear Admiral Sampson by the ad
ministration does not include all of
Sampson’s friends. Secretary
Long’s letter primanding Chad
wick—the second within a year
for the same offense —published
this week, for sluritig at Rear Ad
miral Schley, was about as sting
ing a document as was ever sent
by a secretary of the navy to an
officer; but the universal verdict is
that Chadwick got no more than
he deserved.
Senator Sewell, of New Jersey,
has more nerve than most of the
lcp'.iblican senators on the trust
question. His republican colleag
ues work for the trusts on the
quiet, but he had the audacity to I
say in a speech on the floor of the
senate that the Standard Oil trust
and the sugar trust were public
benefactors. A few more benefac
tors like them and there will be no
more trusts. Benefactions of the
sort they bestowcofitain the germs
of revolution. Senator Pettigrew
presented figures showing that
neither of the trusts named by Mr.
Sewell had done anything which
was not directed toward the crush
ing out of competition and the in
crease of their own profits.
From every direction comes the
strongest evidence that the repub
licans have a hard fight before
them. Nobody realize this any
better than Boss Hanna, and he is
frank enough to say so. That
there is a general revolt against
the policies and practices oi the
McKinley administration, is cer
tain, although its strength is as
yet uncertain. Mr. H.J. Jackson,
a business man of Fall River,
Mass., has been showing his Wash
ington friends a letter written l:im
by a prominent citizen of Mas
sachusetts, fiom which the follow
ing is quoted: “From this dis
tance it looks as though the game
of national politics is going to be
a hard one for President McKin
ley toplav this year. The coming
of the Boeremisaries seems likely
to stir u{s a hornet’s nest among
the Irishmen and the German-
Dutch sympathizers of the Boers
in this country. The longer the
war continues the stronger the
American sentiment seems to grow
against England,” Mr. Jackson
says of the political outlook: “The
repi b icans are going to have trou
ble in New England. There are a

The United States Supreme
Court, after spending two days
hearing arguments in the Ken
tucky case, took recess until May
14th, when the decision will pro
bably be made public.
It looks as though the repub
lican leaders in congress had be
come afraid to carry out the im
perialistic programme mapped out
by Mr. McKinley, until after the
presidential election. The Spooner
Philippines bill, which gives Mr.
McKinley autocratic control of the
Philippines under civil government
which he now exercises under
military government, is slated for
postponement until the next ses
sion of congress. Public senti
ment has frightened the republican
steering committee of the senate
and its members ignored the
Spooner bill in preparing a legisla
tive programme for the remainder
of the present session. This does
not mean the abandonment of that
imperialistic measure, but that the
republicans are afraid to pass it
now for fear of its effect upon the
voters.
The republican majority in the
senate stood by the trusts and vot
ed down Senator Berry’s anti-trust
amendment to the artny bill,which
merely instructed purchasers of
army supplies to give preference to
bidders not connected with a tru t.
Not asingle democrat voted against
the amendment, but Jones and
Stewart, of Nevada, who once
claimed to be populists but who
both seem to have returned to their
republican affiliation did. Teller,
Pettigrew and Wellington voted
with the democrats, for the amend
ment. Senator Berry said: “The
trust question is the greatest pro
blem of the day, and we may yet
fight it out in this chamber.”

Houses Built in a Night.
Wealthy New Yorkers who live
at Rye-on-the Sound, and are try
ing to make it a model town, stole
a novel march on M. F. Biddulph,
who was about to open o hotel and
saloon on the Glemvood road Mon
day night.
It was the belief of Biddulph
that he had all the necessary con
sents required under the Baines
law, which provides that every
property owner within 200 feet
must give his permission before a
saloon can be opened. He worked
until late last night, and had ev
erything in readiness for the open
ing today. He was, therefore,
much surprised this morning when
upon nearing his saloon he found
that two new houses had made
their appearence during the night
on the property of M. V. Patter
son, who is one of the residents op
posed to the saloon. When Bid
dulph applied for consents to open
his saloon he was told by the new
tenants, who had hastily moved in,
that they were opposed to the sale
of liquors in the neighborhood.
Biddulph says the houses are
portable buildings, and were ship
ped to Rye last night and put up
within the two hundred-foot line
for spite. He says that the houses
wtie made in sections in New
York, and loaded into furniture
vans, which brought them to Rye.
Biddulph has retained a lawyer,
and will bring an action to compel
the county treasurer to issue a
license.

AMERICAN LOSSES-
In Philippines Are Small as Com
pared With British Losses,
Washington, April 30. —In com
parison with the casualties suffer
ed by the British trooops in South
Africa those sustained by the
American forces in the Philippines
seem very small. A statement just
complied by the war department
shows that from July 1, 1898, when
American troops reached Manila,
until April 27, 1900, these deaths
have occurred:
Killed and died of wounds, 43
officers and 552 men; died of dis
ease, 26 officers and 1,635 men; to
tal, 69 officers, 2,187 men. Grand
total, 2,256.
Several thousands have been
wounded, but only a small percent
age have died of wounds, and most
of them have returned to duty.
The War Department has just
issued a complete table of the cas
ualties in the Fifth army corps in
the operations against Santiago,
from June 22 until July 17, 1898.
The losses are given: Killed, 21 of
ficers, 222 enlisted men; wounded,
101 officers, 1,344 enlisted men.
'i'lie total strength of the forces
operating against Santiago is given
as 899 officers and 17,349 nien.
The Seventh regular infantry lost
the greatest number of men, its
killed and wounded numbering 132.
The Sixteenth regular infantry lost
129 men, and Gov. Roosevelt’s reg
iment and the Sixth regular infan
try each lost 127 men.
Prospering Georgia.
Macon News
The enormous quantity of crates
being shipped into the orchard re
gion of middle of Georgia is the fi
nancial indication that Jack Frost
has retired to his northern kopjes.
Under the influnenceof ;hese sunny
days, it will not he long before
Georgia peaches shall begin to fall
into the baskets and trains filled
with peaches be seen upon every
railroad hurrying to distant mar
kets. Before the middle of August
more than $2,000,000 will drop
into the pockets of the orchard
owners of the state and that money
will serve to keep the wolf from
the door until the cotton shall be
picked.
If it happen that a good price be
obtained for cotton this fall, the
year will be record-breaking one
for prosperous conditions in Geor
gia. There will be an abundance
of money in circulation. The fail
ure of the fruit crop last year has
increased the demand this year and
very high prices.it would seem, are
sure to be obtained both by the
growers and canners. The News
looks to see some actual fortunes
made by some of the larger inves
tors in the orchards, but the beauty
of it is that there are so many
small growers that the distribution
of money will be general. Thus
everybody will derive some benefit,
Debts will be paid and mortgages
be lifted. Unless there be some
untc ward freak of nature it is al
most certain that when next Chirst
mas shall come the lot of the Geor
gia fanner who has diversified his
crops and who has been enabled to
get his share of all the good things
will be a most happy one.

He Flirts With a Plano-
This is how a Kansas newspaper
man criticised Paderewski the oth
er day: ‘We heard the Polander,
Paderewski, play the piano in con
vention hall, Kansas City, the oth
er night.—The fellow is deceitful.
He makes you think all the time
he is going to play a tune, but he
never does. He flirts all around
a tune, but never touches it. His
hair looks like a wig, but it isn’t.
He deceive.® you in a hundred
ways. He makes the sweetest
sounds you ever heatd that were
not a tune. He has his piano so
trained that the dog-gone thing
will keep right on playing when
hr is not touching it. He reaches
o it slowly and strokes it, drawing
back his elbows like a man brush
ing a girl’s head You see the
moonlight, and you’re there with
your girl, but some how she doesn’t
love you. You know the sorrow
of that, and that’s why we don’t
like Paderewski. We wouldn’t go
to hear him again. If this is
Paderewski’s last visit to America
we are glad of it, but we wouldn’t
take SIOO for what we heard at
Convention hall.

GERMAN’S NEW WATERWAY-
Th* Canal Will Cost Sixty-Two Mill
ion Dollars.
The German government has in
view some very large schemes for
improving the canal transportation
of the Zollverein. It is proposed
to construct canals which will give
the German coal and iron producer
the command of a magnificent sys
tem of inland water carriage. The
greatest project now under consid
eration is that for through water
transport from the Rhine to the
Elbe. The chief object of this
canal is to place the large industrial
area extending from the Rhine in
land through Westphalia in com
munication on the one hand with
the Rhine, and on the other with
the Dortmund-Enis canal,by means
of the projected canal. The entire
length of the Rhine Elbe canal, in
cluding the sixty-one of the Dort
mund-Enis canal, will be 260
miles.
The carrying capacity of the
canal,calculated on the supposition
that the train will consist of one
tug and two barges, will be for
that part of the canal without locks
with a working day of thirteen
hours, 10,000,000 tons, and with a
working day of twenty-two hours
16,000,000 tons per year. The
locks of the Dortmund-Rhine canal
will permit the conveyance of at
least 8, 00,000 tons a id those of the
Central canal 4,000,000 tons. The
estimate of cost is as follows:
Dortmund-Rhine canal, 24
miles $6,320,400
Wo ks on the Dortmund-Enis
canai, 0 78 mile 1.115,000
Grand Central canal, 165 miles 38,829,UK)
I: ranch can a Im, 53 mi les 10,521,000
VVeser lock system,37 miles.. 4,620,000
Total $61,737,500
The time for the completion of
the canal is estimated at eight
years.
