Army Officers, Excursions.

Washington, 3.-In the course of q
discussion in the Senate this evening, on
the question of printing the report of the
secretary of war, showing how so much
money was used Tor travelling and
similar purposes IL the army. Senator
Plumb said this thing Of ordering army
officers from one place to another that
they might visit their families or sweet
hesrts, had become an outrage, and
should be stopped. He said it was very
nice for an officer to have an order to
visit place be wanted to visit, because
that order provided for all his expenses.
There was no necessity for so many
officers here in Washington. He thought
when the department exceeded the
amount allowed by Congress for such
expenses, it ought to be the subject of
investigation.

JIM BLAINE.
- View, ON the Nicarausua Canal.

III IL Views ON the Nicaragua canal.
The Washington Post publishes the fol-
lowing interview with Mr.. James q. Blaine
in relation to the proposition to appropri-
ate $4,000, 900 for the construction of an
inter-ooeanic canal in Nicaragua, as en-
braced in the Kasson bill and report. The
reporter asked Mr. Blaine if he thought
Congress could be induced to make the
grant. ~ sincerely hope not" was the ex-
Secretsry's reply. IL never heard" he
added, "of more extraordinary proposl-
ton than for the United States to eXPend
$75, 600 600 in q country where We have no
control, and when we have, treaty with
another country binding us not to assume
control. We have no treaty with Nicarau-
qua giving us control of the canal after we
have constructed il, while we have treaty
with that country forbidding our control.
! mean further that by the unfortunate
CLAYTON. Bulwer treaty we engaged with
Great Britain not to fortify the canal when
built in any manner whatever. With
these two treaties in force il would be
reckless folly for the United States to eX
pend large sum of money on the pro-
posed canal" "But," queried the report
er, "does it make much difference who
controls the canal, so that we get the COM
mercial value Of itH' "lf that question
could be authoritatively addressed 70 Great
Britain, you would perhaps get an answer
that would satisfy you. In time of peace it
would make but little difference, with
equal and impartial tolls, but if war should
unhappily come, the nation controlling the
canal would have vast advantage. With
the control of the canal in our hands, q
vessel of war lying in the Gulf of Mexico is
Just as available for the defence of San
Francisco as for the defence of New York.
With the control of the canal in British
hands, an English man.of-war in the Gulf
is Just as available for attacking San Fran
cisco as New York

great deal more nonsense in regard to
The ease OF casually meeting with bar

truth is, a "set" solves the problem
for many persons who have not the
time or means to solve it in n more
costly or leisurely way, and il manufsc-
turers will stop using the startling and
dreadful contrasts in bands upon the
figured stuffs, and use simple, harmon

persons of moderate means who cannot
afford 10 "individualize" themselves.
EoUNG AMERICAN.-There is quite
stir made, of course, over the first in
stalment of Henry James, Jr's new
novel "The Point of View" which is
let to be whispered in confidence-a
very ordinary affair both in perform
ance and promise. More than a grain
of sense there certainly Is in this except:
The country IS made for the rising gen.
Grafton: life is arranged for them; they
are the destruction Of society. People
talk of them, consider them, defer them,
bow down to them. They are always
present and whenever they are present
there is an end to everything else.
They are often very pretty; and physi-
cally, they are wonderfully looked after;
they are secured and brushed, they
wear hygienic clothes, they go every
week to the dentists. But the little
BOYS kick your shins, and the little
girls offer to slap your face! The future
IS theirs; maturity will evidently be at
increasing discount. Longtellow wrote
a charming little poem called THE
Chlldren's Century" And by children,
of course, | don't mean simple infants
| mean everything of less than twenty.
The social importance of the young
American increases steadily up to that
AGE and then suddenly stops.

THERE is an infinite variety of lamps

none are prettier than etched designs

THERE is new fashion of hanging
hall pictures, which places contin-

the stairs, the pictures rising In steps
with the stairs. Sets of small distinct
pictures are mainly used for this pur-
pose, and many have been made up for
hall use by dealers in prints.

not adapted to these heavy and many

Among the pretty new things are the
lamp screens used of late, since lamps
began to play 50 important part IN
