BABY CARRIAGES.
The West and the Northwest the
Best Market.

''Thc greatest demand for baby carriages
comes from the West and the Northwest,
said c. P. st. John of Chicago, who was at
tie Palace yesterday, "aad the demand is
rapidly increasing. The star of empire
moves westward, you know, and as the pop
ulatfon increases the demand for baby car
riages naturally grows. We find that our
trade in that line plies ND from year to year,
especially in the rural districts, but in the
larger cities the increase is not so marked.
The reason seems to be that in the larger
centers of population people are more slow
about going into matrmony, and II it were
not for the constant influx from the coun-
try into the cities the latter would lose
rather than gain in population.
in California there is a greater proper
tionaie demand for baby carriages than any
where else in the United States. due, doubt
less, to the fact that people here are more
generally prosperous. The farmers in this
State all have money, and what is more
thew spend it liberalY,"

THAT CANAL AND THIS AARB0R.

Mr. Warner Miller, president of
the construction company that has
the contract for the Nicaragua Can
al, lately delivered an enthusiastic
lecture in San Francisco on the sub
icct of that great work. He was
visiting the Pacific Coast TO solicit
financial assistance for the enter
prise He said he was not there for
any great sum of money, but he did
count on the moral support Of the
people. The information he gave
about the progress of the work was
very interesting. Since he had taken
charge year ago, the company had
made a harbor at Greytowu, opening
to traffic the harbor that had been
closed for twenty-five years. Half
mile of the canal had been excavated
to depth of seventeen feet and POI
feet wide. OF the no miles total
length of the canal only ~ miles are
to be excavations. The rest is free
navigation on the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. The climate has
proved quite favorable to the health
of the Americans engaged on the
canal. Trade winds blow regularly,
driving off malaria. The temper
ature never goes above 80, nor be-
low 65 degrees. There are no prob
lens remaining to puzzle the engin-
eers-nothing but TO lay out the
work and have it done.
These things are very encouraging
for an early completion of the canal,
even allowing that Mr.. Miller's in
terest has colored the facts some
what. What concerns Honolulu is
to have the harbor dredged so as to
be ready for its share in the expan-
sion of commerce in the Pacific in
evitable on the opening of the canal.
There is the most reasonable prOba-
bility at this date that such state
of readiness will be realized far in
advance of that particular occasion.
There are other considerations, how
ever, which will save our harbor i'm
provement from being premature, no
matter how soon accomplished.
Many great ocean steamships on
other routes than the canal one will
shortly give us the option of either
accommodating them at our wharves
or letting them sail maiestically past
beyond our horizon. Even now the
place loses great advantage when
large warship visits US and has to an
Choir in the heaving roadstead, while
much annoyance and loss of time and
trade is occasioned frequently when
large American Chinese liners call
without being able to come inside.
