SECRETARY BLAINES INSTRUCTIONS
TO THE MINISTER TO ENGLAND.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The President to-day
sent to the Senate the report of the Secretary
of State in answer to the resolution OF October
14th, relating to the Panama Canal Secreta-
ry Blaine in communication to the PRESIDENT
transmits copies of a letter of instruction adj
dressed by the state department. to the United
States Minister at London, and to each OF the
American Ministers in Europe which says
The United States recognizes proper guar
antee of neutra ity as essential to the construc-
ton and successful operation OF any hlgnway
across the Isthmus of Panama, and more than
a third of a century ago this government took
every step that it is deemed requisite in the
premises The necessity was foreseen and
abundantly provided for long in advance OF any
possible call for actual exercise OF power.
In 1916 a memorial and important treaty was
negotiated and signed between the United
States of America and the Republic OF New
Grenada now the United States OF Colombia.
By the 35th article of that treaty in exchange
for certain concessions made to the United
States we guaranteed positively and efficacious-
ly'' perfect neutrality of the Isthmus, and of
any inter-oceanic communications that might
be constructed upon or over it for the mainten-
auce of free transit from sea to sea, and also
guaranteed the rights of sovereignty and prop
erty of the United States of Colombia over the
territory of the Isthmus as included within the
be rders of the State of Panama.
In the Judgment of the President the guar
antee given by the United States of America
does MOI require reinforcement or accession or
assent from any other power. If the foreshad-
owed action of European power should as
sumo tangible shape it would be well for you
to bring to the notice OF Lord Granville the
provisions of the treaty of 1876 and especially
Of the 9th article, and to intimate to him that
any movement in sense of suppementing the
guarantee contained therein would necessarily
be regarded by this government as an uncalled
for intru SIGN into the field where the local and
general interests of the United States of
America must be considered before those Of
any other power save those of the United
States of Colombia alone, which has already
derived and will continue to derive such emiD-
emit advantages from the guarantee of this gov
ernment" The President supplements this
report somewhat in detail and says: ut is
not the wish or purpose of the United States to
interfere with any commercial enterprise in
which citizens or subjects Of any foreign power
may see fit to embark under lawful privilege. J"

A Cheering Report Made by Mrs. Willard
of Her Recent Tour of Inspection.
WASHINGTON, Oct. N.-The eighth annual
session of the Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union will be commenced at the
Foundry church here on Wedn esday morning.
It is known that over 200 of the most talented
women in the country will be IN
attendance. The President of the Union,
Miss Frances e. Willard of Chicago, has Just
returned from tour through the Southern
States, and she gives an interesting account OF
the progress of the total abstinence cause there.
In Maryland She said advanced ground had
been gained, and in Baltimore even the Epis-
copal church had opened its doors to the cause.
In Ri chmond and through Virginia like pro-
gress was noted. In North Carolina, GOV.
Jarvis gave his sanction to the cause In
Charleston, s. c., the foremost ladies ana an
the clergymen were waging stout BATTLE
against the liquor traffic. In Savannah the
Union was presided over by lady of the high
est social standing, and Of great wealth. The
young ladies were especially aggressive. In
Florida there were many enthusiastic temper
ance people, and prohibitary legislation only
failed by three votes. In the capital OF Ala
bama the women were determined to make
the country pure and clean. OF the work in
Louisiana. Texas and Arkansas, Miss Willard
expressed her regret in not being able to give
favorable reports Still the Christian women
were at work, especially in New Orleans, and
had not lost heart. In Tennessee the cause
was flourishing In Nashville the widow OF
President Polk, a noble old lady, was grand
advocate of the cause, and the Christian tenn
perance women of the country propose TO place
her portrait in the White House. Inc pro-
gress of the temperance cause throughout the
Indian Territory was charming surprise In
the entire country there was not single grog

The rule should be to eat at the last moment
before going to bed, whatever that hour may
be.
And thisJatest meal should not be of flight"
viands as this phrase IS commonly understood.
The less a person eats OF any time of cake or
pie or the countless hummeries that go to
make up a fancy tea-table, the better but
none Of these should be eaten at bedtime.
Cold chicken, cold roast beef, corned beef or
wholesome meat of any kind, with well baked
bread and butter (sauce and pickle will do no
harm) will serve the substantial requisites for
this collation.. Milk is perhaps best of all
where the pure article can be OBJ aimed. "Bor-
denis CONDENSED will supply it in the best
shape to our taste. and If this is used 1t should
be mixed with warm or hot water. instead of
cold, and eaten before it cools. With bread
and fruit baked apples will serve when berries
and peaches fall this makes very wholesome
evening meal
Ali persons should be cautious when they
reform their habits in this respect. A mouth
ful or two each night at first is all that should
be attempted, gradually increasing the quanti-
ty until the luncheon becomes pretty sub
stantiaI meal. If indigestion follows at any
time, chew the meat of one or two peach pits
(for the prussic acid in them) after eating, is
better than sending for doctor. With clear
conscience aud a full stomach, any man in toll
cradle health may derive from his nightly
sleep that recuperation which ought to come
from this sweet restorer of life's daily wear
and tear.
