PANAMA CANAL.
It's Prospects Frightening. An Extension @
the Contract With Mod fications.

PANAMA, Sept. 1.-The prospects OF
the Panama canal are definitely bright
euing, and in the best informed circles
here the matter is regarded as praoti-
cally concluded, although committee
of the senate is still engaged In
studying the proposals of Mr..
wyse, and preparing the draft
of bill to authorize the executive to
come to terms with him upon the basis
of his proposals.
The following cablegram from official
sources in Bogota has been published in
Panama:
The president of the republic has rec
commended to congress the proposal of
Mr.. Wyse, which is rs follows: An ex-
tension of the contract for eight years
longer, work to be commenced not later
than q year and half after approval.
The government will coucede 10. 600 acres
OF land that may be necessary for carry
ing out the scheme and settle ali ex-
penses. The company will pay the CO.
loubian government 1000 600 francs
in eight annual installments OF
800 200 francs each, and o.
000, 900 francs worth of free
privileged shares. The company
will also contribute 80 900 francs
monthly for military protection OF ths
transit, all freight of Colombian pro-
ducts passing over the Panama railroad
to bs carried at half the tariff rates.

VIII Try to BuIldoze Harrison.

Srecial 70 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1T leaked out
this morning that the Republican sena-
tors who are behind the force bill intend
TO advocate policy of bulldozing to-
wards the president if they can't secure
the call of au extra session, which they
want. The president mas already re-
ceived an intimation, politely but ener-
getically expressed, that IL will be de-
Cidedly TO his own advantage TO make
the call immediately after the election,
and II he does not see fit 10 take the hint
the hackers of the force bill ore prepared
meaning, much palmer. In brief, they
stand ready TO tell the president that he
must either issue the call for an extra
session or reconcile himself in advance to
defeat in the nominating convention of
1892: or, as Eastern senator euphem-
istically described the programme:
"The president must be made to re-
alize thnt the Federal election bill is an
Indispensable measure TO be passed bv
the Republicans in congress, aud that its
essential principle, the right of free bal
lot and q fair count, is more important
rs q rallying cry than any protective
tariff idea which become a part of the
party Is policy through force of circum-
stances. He should be glad to realize,
If lie does not already recognize, the fact
that 10 this measure rather than the
Mckinley bill the party must look for its
victory In fall.

THE SECOND INVASION.
Northern Men and Money Conquerlng The
Cereal Producing Soil

Cereal Producing Soil.
Boston Herald, Aug 10.
Commissioner T. A. Wilkinson of tn Q
department of immigration at Texas 4,
served three years in the Union army
during the rebellion a member of the
32d Wisconsin volunteer infantry.
Speaking of Texas, he says that North
ern pluck and enterprise are doing
much TO deyelope the productive lands
there. He is here in charge
of an exhibit of the products of
Texas, which is sent out by the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande railway company,
with view of making known to the
world the many inviting features aud re-
sources to be found in its tributary
country. Two years ago he took an
exhibit car 10 Columbus, o.; last year
he had magnificent exhibit car ut Mil
waukee, Wis, during the 6. A.
r. eucampment, und this year his
indefatigable efforts have provoked
such spirit of emulation that three cars
filled with sample products are here in
Boston from the great state of Texas.
The contents of this car will be q revela-
ton 10 our Northern people. 1t shows
that all the products of the North eau be
raised IN Southwestern Texas, and at the
same time cotton and many other
Southern products can be produced.
Its high altitude and South
ern latitude combined insure health
full, cool summers and mild and beauti-
full winters. Its close proximity to the
gulf gives it exemption from drouth,
common to other districts of the same
longitude farther north. AS proof of
this, Mr.. wilkinson cites the fact that
fine groves of the celebrated pecan trees
flourish, also live oak and mesquit
timber, 100 miles west of where
stick can be found in Western Da-
kota. Nebraska or Western Kansas.
Sheep, cattle, and, IN fact, all kinds of
stock, live the year round on the natural
range, with no shelter whatever. The
wool resources Of the country alone will

benjamin, Butler told the truth, F"
says Mr.. Wilkinson, "when he said
that the sheep rnisers of West
ern Texas could stand the re-
duction of the tariff on wool better
than those of the East. Not finding
room enough in horticultural hall, and
partly owing 10 the fact that Mr.. Wiki
inson 3 car is q complete exhibit In itself,
he invites the public to visit his maguifi-
cent and convincing display, which is
now side-tracked on the Boston aud AL
bany track near Mechanics hall, and
will be open from 8 a. IN. 10 II m. and
from TO p. IN. each day. 1t will re-
main at its present place for ten days
longer.

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO.

srecial 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Leadlng Re-
| publicans in both houses say there is little
prospect of congress taking a recess, and
they are not in favor of having an extra
session. The president is opposed to call
ing extra sessions on general principles
except in cases of great emergency.
The president, however, tactilY consents
to Edmunds' resolution for recess ,as an
extra session would thus be accomplished
without his Intervention. OF course the
only possible reason for an extra session
is that the Republicans would
thus be enabled to consider
the odious force bill. OF course
the Edmunds resolution will be opposed
by the Democrats. The closing of bust
ness on the 10th of September would
mean that the senate bill would
remain In the hands OF conference
committee until November, for It can
not possibly be ready for an agree
ment within three weeks. Mr.. Mills,
however, told a Texas member to-day
that the senate was now trying to fit the
bill in un!mportant particulars TO the
views of the house so as TO expedite its
consideration in the conference COM
mittee.
TEXAS RIVERS AND HARBoRs.

and hn-bors are concerned the

Things are getting warm in Speaker
Reeds district in Maine, and while it
would be claiming too much TO say that
he is III danger of defeat, yet
lie has been urged TO return
ut once. Mr.. Reed will leave for Maine
tomorrow. Congressman Lodge and
Greeuhalge of Massachusetts and other
prominent Republicans have been stump
ing the district for more than two weeks.
Messrs. Reed and Mckinley are both
TO speak at the same meeting in the dis
trict this week. The speaker did not in
tend to go TO Maine until after the ad-
journment OF congress, but it has been
represented to him that If he does
not husten home and help to
straighteu out matters at Saco where the
election laws of the state have not been
complied with, he is liable TO lose u large
vote there, which would endanger his
election. AS it is, the Democrats expect
to have very good case for
making a contest for his seat before the
next house, ana the advantage has been
given out by the attempt OF the Republic
can managers IN the district 10 disfrau-
chise number of Democrats at Bidde-

whether there will be quorum on hand

WASHINGTON, Sept. CONGRESSMAN
smyser OF Ohio, one of this Republican
members of the committee TO investigate
the charges against Pension Commits
sioner Raum, was to-day forced to re-
sign from the committee because he is n
stakeholder in the refrigerator
company that Gen. Raum
organized some time ago. 1t
was stated ten days ago that the ex-
posture would be made to-day by repre-
sentative Cooper Of Indiana. That
gentleman created quite n sensation i'll
the house this morning by introducing
resolution calling for the removal of Mr..
Smyser from the com mittee and there was
AN ANIMATED DISCUSSION.
in which many of The members partici-
pated. The exposure was like a bomb
shell among the Republicans, and they
hardly knew how TO explain away the
thing. Mr.. Smyser very promptly
asked to be excused from fur
ther service on the committee, and
the speaker had to make statement to
clear AWAY any suspicion i'll the mind of
the public TINT he knew in advance that
the Ohio member was interested in the
Rum refrigerator company. Congress
man Morrill, regretted the thing very
much, and he snid to-day that if he had
KNOWN IN ADVANCE
that Mr.. Smyser had any stock in the
company he (MOrrilD wonld never have
consented 10 serve on the committee.
Mr.. Goodnight, one of the Democratic
members of the investigating committee,
made very forcIble statement,
in which he was very fair, but
at the same time he said that he thought
that il was an act of great improperly
of Mr.. Smyser 10 serve on the committee
when ne was IL stakeholder in the coma
pauy, aud he did not think the COM
mittee had conducted the Investigation in
Il manner TO get at

TIE REAL FACTS
regarding the charges that have been
preferred against the commissioner of
pensions. This affair has caused great
deal of unfavornble comment here
and within week the Republi-
cans of the house have furnished
much valuable material for the Demo-
Gratis to work on in making their cam
paign documents. Mr.. Smyser is not q
candidate for recollection as he has been
thrown in the same congressional district
with Mckinley. It is understood that the
latter had arranged with the former
to run his campaign out in view of the
bad break of Mr.. Smvser. To-day it is
thought that Mr.. Mckinley will have to
look around for another manager. TIE
talk is that Mr.. Mckinley has
no idea of being returned
TO congress. He Is hoping to make a
good run in the new Democratic district,
however. AID If he can cut down the
Democratic vote he will claim the
nomination for governor next
year ut the hands of his
own party. and should he be elected
governor he would then hope TO be the
Republican nominee for the presidency
in 1892.
