40 what I can 10 make success this nall certain. l
tb.nt Mr. Cheney did perfectly right in net making
puhlc that part Of my telegram which was personal.
4bat part are you going to take in the canvass ?"
Well I have only been here short time, and l
A,p4 know vet. have been asked TO preside at the
meeting TO be held at Madison Square Garden next
Monday night and have accepted. I am willing to
do ali that any true Republican can do 20 help win
IN this campaign
Mr.. sheard, who had been sitting quietly listening
70 what Mr.. Miller was saying, was asked what he
thought Of TIE chances Of winning.
u think the prospects are exceedingly bright ana
with free Republican vote have no doubt that we
Kill win. great deal depends upon the weather.
II We have fine weather In the country, 1t means
large vote. You know in the country some OF our
people have 70 travel five or six miles to vote on
election day That is good deal for young man to
do and something that old men cannot do. The
country is alive with enthusiasm which approxmates
the interest shown in Presidential year. With full
vote we are bound to win. That is certain"
Mr. Miller was asked what had occupied his time
while in Europe.
~ have been spending some time" he said, in
investigating the great canals Of Europe You know
the building Of canals Is subject in which am az
present greatly interested the great Man
chester Canal which is nearly completed between Liv-
erpool and Manchester then went to Holland. Every
one knows what canals have done for that country.
II said that God made the country, but certainly
made Holland by building bikes and canals. I saw
the great Amsterdam canal which makes that city
seaport Indeed, greatly interested in the water
works Of Holland But the most important canal In
al Europe is being built by the German Govern
nent and because II is Government enterprise little
10 heard about 1t. 10 runs from KEEL the great Ger
man naval station. the Baltic Sea- sixty three miles
across the HolSte.n peninsula and ends at the mouth
Of the Elbo. 1t is to be ship canal, of course and
viii distance in travel, when completed, of
700 mhes. OF course, il will give direct cOmmunica-
ton between the North and Baltic The cost of
this canal will be soOoOOQ 900, and the work on it is
about BAH completed. There are about 10000 men
employed upon il. I found in London that there was
little known about this great worK as it is purely
Government undertaking.
Il visited these canals, thai l could better
Judge Of our work on the Nicaraguan Canal I am
now better satisfied that the building OF that canal is
perfectly feasible and be accomplished within the
estimate made. II the German Government can afford
70 spend $4,000 900 10 700 miles the people OF
the United states afford 70 build a canal
across Nicaragua and save 10000 miles between
New-York and san Francisco. l found in London,
Berlin and IN Holland that the leading commercial men
were well informed on the NcaragIan Canal, and. in
fact found that the world is Just waking up 10 the
Importance Of H. II is certain 10 be built in the near
future.
Il saw Wldtelaw Reid in Paris. He told me that he
expected France 70 take the restrictions off the i'm
p0radOn Of American pork as coon as the senate
meets Mr.. Reid is IN excellent health and is exceed
hgy popular
