The Philadelphia Press Says: Mr.
Blaine's letter might have been expected
to stir up objections to its firm declaration
Of the American policy in the matter OF
an Isuhmian Canal. 1t has done so. The
London Times thinks the proposition is
not self-evident. and that it is not support
ed by arguments which make it accepta'
BILE to the European Powers. and least Of
all to England. This is natural enough
Of course England would like to have
control If the American. as it has OF the
Egyptian Canal. If the United States
we're to object to England's control OF the
Suez Canal the answer would be that
"England's interests require that control.
and we propose TO keep it. What are
you going to do about it'" The reply
OF the United States to England is the
same.

FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Oct. %. In the criminal
court, Friday, Capt Howgate was committed
to plead to indictments for forgery, found by
the grand jury and plead not guilty. He was
formally surrendered by his bondsmen.
The question of bail was raised hut the Dis
trict Attorney said that he was not prepared
to discuss it at present and that he preferred
to let the indictment lay over until next week
when another indictment will be presented
and the whole question can be argued. The
counsel for Capt. Howgate said that if the
bail should be fixed at thirty thousand dol
lars the court did not see how the defendants
with all his property sequistrated could give
any bail. He thought however that the cOun-
sci had better think the matter over and come
in next week and state what they could do in
premises. Capt. Howgate was then carried
back to Jail.
The Attorney Generalship.
The star says it is now stated that there

torney General Macveagh's resignation I'M
til the star routes are under way. The friends
of MacVeagh notwithstanding this, still say
he has left the city for good, and will only
return to formally receive his successor. So
far as can be learned there is q change in the
programme TO make ex-senator Howe At
tornev General. after the President has acted
upon McVeagt's resignation.

At the morning session of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Senator Blair
of New Hampshire. delivered an address in
which he explained the provisions of his pro-
posed constitutional amendent to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of spurious liquors in

stood that no others will sent in during the
