In just four weeks from next Wednesday,
and continue until May 8. On Monday,
April 20, there will be no racing, as on that
day the ~Runnymedc, Woodburn and Cold

Kentucky turfmen are going 10 stand or fall

NICARAGUA AND PANAMA CANALS.

On the Doth ult. G. P. Treat, one
of the largest stockholders in the
Nicaragua Canal Co., said: 81 have
just received news from Nicaragua
that the preparatory work on the
canal is being pushed as rapidly as
is possible. The first trouble with
which we meet is the difficulty in
landing ships at Greytown. We are
working with every energy and are
now building a breakwater and
docks.
"The contract for the construction
of the canal from the Caribbean sea
to Lock No. ] is to be let in few
days.
"The talk that trouble between
Nicaragua and Costa Rica is likely
to endanger the construction of the
canal is all wrong. There is no
trouble between the countries, and
the relations between the canal com
pany and Nicaragua are most cor
dial"
At Managua some work is being
done toward the preliminaries on
the extension between the western
end of Lake Nicaragua and the
Pacific ocean. The distance, air
line, is only thirteen miles.
Captain William L. Merry form
erly President of the Chamber of
Commerce, who for many years was
resident of Nicaragua has deliv-
cred several lectures recently on the
canal, one before the Commercial
High school being exceptionally
good.
The Pacific Mail Company has
increased its Panama line. service
from two to three steamers per
month and expects shortly to carry
supplies to Brito, the western term
linus of the canal, orders for the
same having been placed with sew
eral San Francisco firms.
A committee of five French engin-
GERS will sail for the Isthmus De-
cember 10th. They were appointed
by Brunei. the liquidater of the
company, to prepare thorough re-
port on the progress and prospects
of the canal, and to conceal no unfav-
orable facts. The French people have
already expended about sixty mill
lions pounds on the canal.
Advices from Panama are that
with the collapse of the Canal Com
pany the city is well nigh ruined,
both commercially and financially.
Every one is hoping for the revival
of the work.

says the Times, ''that Stanley, after
rest, may be induced to undertake
the administration of the East Afri
can Government. We believe he
might be quite willing to become 6
British subject"
MOUNT On, Nov. ga caravan
from the French mission has just
arrived here from Mohundas. They
met Stanley at Kitata. He was then
only eight days out from Bagamoyo
The Herald expedition starts to-day
for Kiloka, and will meet Stanley in
about four days. The writer says:
I have heard from Stanley by
Arabs who have met him. They say
his hair is quite white; that he has
cloths and carries boxes with him,
but that he has no ivory. We ex-
pect now to meet him in week. Cap
tain Wissman arrived here to see us
off.
BERLIN, Nov. 26.-In the Reich
stag to-day Herr Bamberger and DR.,
Windhorst attacked the Govern
ment's colonial policy as badly con-
Quoted and as calculated to rritate
the friendly powers. Herbert Bis
marck denied that the German colo
NAL policy had caused any friction
with the powers. He said that he
could not reveal at present the re-
suit of the Samoan conference. Ac-
cording to a mutual arrangement
between the powers that took part in
the conference the detail of the set
Element must still be kept secret.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Indications of
another invasion of Egypt by the
Dervishes multiply. 1t is reported
at Wady Halfa that the Mahdi is
collecting a great army to avenge
the defeat at Toski.
BELGRADE, Nov. 25.-There has
been discovered a plot to depose
King Alexander and replace him
with Prince Peter Karageorgovich.
1t is claimed the Russian diplomats
are implicated in the conspiracy.
There have been three arrests.
ROME, Nov. 25.-The Italian Par
Lament was opened to-day by King
Humbert. In his speech the King
alluded to the smallness of the de-
felt in the budget, and said that the
Governments wise and equitable
policy assured tranquility to Italy
and guaranteed peace, which, thanks
to the concert of the great powers,
appears to be assured to Europe.
This utterance was greeted with
great applause.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The flag of the
new Brazilian republic was hoisted
for the first time in English waters
to-day. The occasion of the display
was the arrival at Plymouth of a
Brazilian war ship, to receive which
the usual preparations were made
by the British war vessels and forts,
the customary signal to salute being
awaited from the flagship of Admiral
Dowell. When, however, the flag of
the "United States of Brazil'' was
displayed instead of the expected
Imperial ensign, Admiral Dowell
sent a request to the Brazilian
commander to hoist the recognized
flag of Brazil or not run up any
other. The Brazilian commander
declined to comply and the British
forts and war ships remained silent
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Park, the editor
of the North London Press, who
charged the Earl of Euston with be-
ing one of the principals in the Cav
endish-street scandal, was arraigned
this morning on a charge of criminal
libel and remanded until tomorrow.
He was admitted to bail in the sum
of f100.

BETTER Legal METHODS

No name in the legal annals %
Iowa is bottcr known than that o
Hon. John +. Dillon. whose holn,
was for many years in Davenport
And among the iurists of the coun
try Judge Dillon stands in the fore
most ranks. He certainly is quail
fled to speak OF the prevailing
methods and tendencies Of the
courts. And this he has done.
HIS acquaintance with both the
virtue and the weakness OF our Judi
cial system is accordingly thorough.
He declares that what is most
needed Is simpler AMI more direct
forms in the trial ofavera.c cases.
Tins applies to courts Of every
kinds and degree. They are all
disposed, his experience has shown
him, to be vyer-tcchncal, and to
waste time and increase expense
by proceedings that are useless
not on ". but that serve oflcner TO
defeat than to promote Justice.
AS general thing, the issues in
volved in law suits are not of pro
found or intricate nature; they re-
late nine times out at ten TO ordin.
AIRY commercial disputes, or to
criminal Otf,enses of the most
familiar description Thcrc is no
reason why days and weeks should
be consumed in a trial merely be
canse the lawyers choose to inter
pose trivial pleas and invent pre-
texts for long and rambling
speeches. The laws delay is pro-
verbal: and most or it is due to
the fact that liigants are at the
mercy of forms and conditions
which are entirely superfluous.
