The Interoceanic Canal Convention

New York Herald, ISL
Our Paris cable dispatch gives further
details of yesterdays proceedings i'll the
lnteroceanic Canal Congress. The chief
interest just now naturally centres in the
work OF the Committee on Technique, a. il
is before this body that the eminent ex-
plorers and engineers are advocating their
respective routes. Rear Admiral Ammen,
of the United States Navy, occupied the
morning session by lengthy but lucid pre-
sentiment OF the several surveys, and in
doing 80 he explained the comparative ad-
vsntages, disadvantages and cost of the
Nicaragua, Panama and Atrato- Napipi
route. He was followed by Engineer
MenOcal, who occupied five hours in
explaining his Nicaragua scheme, and
fortified his theory by maps and plans.
Mr.. Menocal was so thorough in his de-
tails that he was highly com plimented By
many able engineers who were present. t
the close of Mr.. MenocaPs remarks Lieut.
Wyse, of the French navy, made an inter
esting speech, in which he also reviewed
the whole question:. This was a notable
days work for one committee to have aC-
complished, and shows how thoroughly the
entire Congress has addressed itself TO the
important task set before it. Judging from
what has already been accomplished we
may confidently look forward to important
results and final report on the question
that will place the proposed canal on line
satisfactory TO every nation interested in
its construction.

The New DOnhle Postal Gard

The new double postal card which is soon
TO be issued by the government, is not any
larger than the present style, but it will have
a stamp on each upper corner and will cost
two cents. The stamp on the upper right
hand corner will be Cancelled when the card
is sent the first time and the other one when
il is returned. " hen IL first goes, the wri-
ter puts his communication on the back and
the address of his correspondent on the face.
The receiver answers on the same card,
grasses his name and writes that of the per
son who sent il 10 him. The original sender
must be careful not to use all the space on
the card. The advantages are economy and
convenience, and then too, as evidence in
legal proceedings, there is sometimes an ad-
vantage In having a communication and lis
answer together on the same card or paper.

a Difficult Operation.

Topeka COInmOhWtaIIIl,I ~
Last Thursday, little daughter of II. W
Hinkle, Of Eldorado, swallowed a grain OF
coffee, and it became lodged in her wlndpipe
The little girl is but fourteen months old, and
naturally she suffered very greatly. The
physician at Eldorado declined to attempt to
remove the grain, and recommended Drs
Sheldon and Gibson. The father and mother
brought their almost blackened baby to To
peka, and the operation of TracheOtomy was
successfully performed, and the little girl is
doing very well, and will be all right In few
weeks.

And now Wichita has a mystery. This af-
noon about three o'clock, while some men
were fishing in the Arkansas river, a short
distance below the bridge at this place, they
discovered the dead body of a man floating
not far from the western bank. They recov-
cred 1t and took 1t out Of the water and
brought il over to town. All inquiries as to
who it is proved fruitless. No one was able
to identify him, and there was not the slight.
est clue as to his identity, in the way of pa
pers, found on his person. The physicians
who examined him found that his neck was
broken; that there was Q bullet hole in his

that his left arm, b,tween the elbow and
shoulder, was withered, but probably not %
