/ The canal will probably never be

the American enterprise is progressing SC

know, is not subject to floods. The great
lake at its source acts like an enormous
reservoir to equalize its flow. 1t is like
the St. Lawrence in this respect. The
work of constructing a canal along its
channel will be very simple. The entire
route has now been very thoroughly sur
veyed.
another advantage the Nicaragua
route possesses is its climate, which is by
no means unhealthful, except, perhaps,
in midsummer. The enterprise will un.

The Story of Little Girl-NOtes.

How long will it be before people can
go to Europe easily and quickly by way
of Alaska and Siberia?
That is a question which interests a
good many people who are subject to
seasickness, yet who feel impelled to join
in the summer rush. AS for myself,
though not specially apt to feel qualms
upon the water am considerably inter
ested, after several times enduring the
unutterable tedium of an ocean voyage,
in the time when 1 can railroad 1t to
Alaska, cross the Bering Strait on a
bridge and continue through Siberia to
st. Petersburg and Berlin.
Railroad men say that it will not be
long American capitalists have already
fully made up their minds to connect
Alaska with our own railroad systems by
trans Canadian line-a precedent es-
tablished by the American connections of
the Grand Trunk line. The Behring
Strait is easily bridged, or is narrow
enough to be but a slight matter in any
case. On the other side the Russian
government is pushing it's trans-Siberian
line with considerable energy, mainly, of
course, for military purposes. So 1t
should not be so very long before travelled
Yankees are enabled to get into Europe

ANOTHER HITCH.
There SIay Bo Considerable Trouble I'm

There 1Iay DO Considerable Trouble in
Settling the Isehring Sea Question.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-There is fair
prospect for another hitch in the Behring
Sea matter before it reaches arbitration,
and there are obstacles yet to overcome
before an agreement can be reached for
a closed season.
The bill passed by the House of Com
mons confers authority upon the Queen
to issue proclamation prohibiting Brit
ish subjects from taking seals during a
certain period, but the issuance of this
proclamation is dependent upon the dis
position of the Queen-or rather of Lord
Salisbury.
The British government, it is under
stood, will insist that the United States
shall be pledged to pay British subjects
for losses sustained through the depriva-
ton of sealing privileges during the
closed season if the contentious OF the
United States are not sustained by arbi-
tration. On the other hand, the British
government will probably agree to pay
damages to the American Company in
case a different decision is reached.
OF course the President can give no
such pledge for payment of damages,
that being matter that Congress alone
can deal with. Congress not being in
session, this question complexities the
situation, and it is doubtful how the
matter will be settled.

The young lady who was driving
stopped the horse, and followed with
her eyes the rapid motions of her COM
panion, who had lcaped out and was
scrambling up bank by the roadside.
1t was covered by thick mat of clover,
but the seeker, without moments
hesitation, laid her hand upon the stem
she wanted, broke it off and returned
to the carriage.
1t was indeed four-lcavcd clover,
large and perfect, each leahct prettily
marked with whitish V, and the eX-
ira one scarcely smaller than the others.
She was Immediately overwhelmed
with questions and ordinations of as

to see it in passing, surrounded as it
was by thousand other leaves SO near

know.
''Why, l couldn't help seeing it," was
the laughing answer; lit stood right up
and nodded at mc!'
But the other girls did not think the
mystery lessencd by this answer. They
had been looking in the same direction,
and they had not seen it nod its luck
crowned head to them.
The lucky four-fold leaf, always a
favorite, is just now especially popular.
Its use as decorative design in jewel
ry, upon silverware and in painting
and embroidery, has perhaps called at
tention to the green and growing orig
inal, which is by no means so easy to
procure.
1t requires sharp sight, aquiclz brain,
to notice what one is not at the moment
looking for, often a considerable
amount of time, patience and persever-
ance, before one can secure n four
leaved clover of ones own finding, to
tuck away in a purse, a favorite book,
or according to recent fashion, to
place inside silver locket with one
side of glass, and give to a friend.
But it is a pleasing quest, in which

An American School.

Were you at the Paris Exposition of
1889? Then you may have seen in the
American section quite large picture
representing a handsome Indian brave
sitting upon the ground with his back
against rock, naked to the waist, hold
ing in one hand a tiny crucifix and in the
other hideous medicine mask" hest
tating-so runs the story of the picture
between the old faith and the new. The
painter of that work and of many other
spirited Indian studies is De Cost Smith,
of New York city, an authority on all mat
tiers connected with the Indians. Mr.. Smith
was born almost on the edge of the On
ondaga reservation in New York State and
has always been interested in Indian folk
lore and tradition. He has made several
trips to the Sioux country, the last about
the time of the outbreak last summer, and
his rooms in the Halbein studio building,
shared by Mr.. E. w. Deming, also a de-
lineator of Indian life, are a perfect
museum of Indian pipes, blankets, sad
dies, medicine masks, wolfskins, tepee
poles and ether " properties"
To my mind such artists as Mr. Smith,
Mr.. Remington, Mr.. Deming and Mr. H.
B. Farnie are doing very good work in
calling the attention of American artists
to the rich stores of material in their
own country. 1t is their work which has
already attracted more attention abroad
than the thousands of wishy-washy SEN
timentalities that American artists have
concocted. These men would welcome
competition. eff there were a dozen
strong men painting on Indian topics,
we should all be better off," said Mr..
Smith to me the other day, eve
should then be a school. But Americans
take no interest in the Indian, although
he is their neighbor. They will not even
believe us when we represent the Indian
as he is. If we represent him as cruel,
vindictive and savage, they are well
pleased, but they will not believe us
when we paint his virtues as we'll as his
faults The Indians are not the stocial
race which they have been usually repre-
sented. They are more sentimental than
we are, more emotional. Their hope OF
salvation lies in getting something to do
but it is great mistake for the govern
ment to try to make them all farmers.
They make admirable policemen and cav.
| alrymen. Some might make good farmers
| others would do as stock raisers, and
| others should learn trades. They will
uot all show the same gifts.

Director General Davis Talks About the

Notwithstanding the Concord Acct

WASHINGTON, June GA stricter en-
forcemcnt of the immigration laws is one
of the certaiuties of the near future.
The Treasury officials are fully in SYM
pathy with the sentiment of the country
in this regard, and from this time it will
become more and more difficult for unde
siralle foreigners to find Judgement in
the United States.
Assistant Secretary Nettleton, who has
the immediate control of immigration
matters, is fully alive to their import
ance He has given them careful and in
telligent study. He has gone about his
work, not in n spirit of bigotry, but in
the belief that all Americans, native born
and naturalized, are equally interested in
keeping the idle, the vicious, the pauper
and the unproductive immigrant from
our shores.
In the course of an interview covering
the general subject of immigration As
sistant Secretary Nettleton was asked:
"Has the Wholesale shipping of paupers
from other countries to the United States
entirely ceased?"
There is no real machinery of that
kind at work now" he said. "We have
learned, however, that in many provinces
of Europe, or the small towns where I'M
desirable persons have been found-such
as idlcrs, thieves or questionable charac-
ters-steps have been quietly taken to
provide them with means of deportation
to the United States in order to be rid of
them.
IA more extended and vicious system
has recently been brought to our notice
by lady vino came to this country as a
steerage passenger in order to know
something about our immigrants. She
has informed me that in England it is
the custom of some of the towns to ship
Canada the inmates of warehouses; and
poorhouses as soon as their brief terms of
Imprisonment expire. These people are
sent to Canada in order to avoid any
complications that might arise from a
violation of the international laws be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
but they eventually drift over the border
into the United States, where they eX'
pect to get along in some way"

The New Review.

Since the "Review of Reviews" with
an Amrican copyright, an American
department and an American editor-Mr.
Shaw, late of the Minneapolis Tribune"
has set out in the race for circulation and
dollars on these shores one hears quite a
little of its energetic founder Mr.. Stead.
He is man of whom more will be heard
in future, unless I am much mistaken.
l have never seen more rare combina-
ton of the enthusiast and the keen bust
ness man. OF course, everybody knows
that Mr.. Stead was imprisoned for his
action in the Eliza Armstrong case, and
that he won the plaudits of most Eng
hshmen and women who think, by the
very action which caused his imprison-
ment, as his object was simply to show
up the infamous traffic in young girls
which was then and is now possible in
London, and which has been more
recently exposed in the Verney case.
Mr.. Stead, as I last saw him in London,
was man of middle age and less than
medium height and bulk. His beard and
hair were reddish, his eye light but not
unsteadfast blue. His manner was hearty,
cordial and unaffected, but betrayed at
times the abstraction of q man with
twenty things on his mind at once. The
new "Review" at that time was in it's in
fancy, and he was doing prodisies of work
to put it on it's feet.

a SAD SCENE.
Director-General Davis of tho WOrld't
Fair Suddenly Afflicted.

Fair Suddenly Afflicted.
WASHINGTON, June GA very sad
scene occurred in Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Nettleton's room during
the morning. Director General Davis of
the Worlds Fair, who arrived here yes
terday. was entertaining a number
of friends and the assistant secretary
with accounts of the progress of the ar
engagements for the fair.
He was in the best of humor, when a
telegraph messenger boy entered the
room with telegram for Mr.. Davis. He
opened it, and his face became pale, and
he almost broke down. The telegram
told of the death of his mother in Bos-
ton.
Mr. Davis left the department at once
and went to the depot and took the train
for Boston. Mrs. Davis was over 20 years
of age, but her death was sudden, and
the shock therefore great. Mr.. Davis
had just been talking about the Worlds
Fair, and had said that the Exposition
has $11 600 coo either actually in the
treasury or available in 80 days, but that
So, 600, 000 or $1,0O0,0 coo more is now be-
ing secured in order to assure n display
such as has never before been seen in the
world.
Director General Davis has heen en-
powered by the State Department to APP
point five commissioners to visit Europe
in the interest of the fair, and to have
their expenses paid by the government.
Mr.. Davis will, within few days, an
nounce the names of the commissioners
selected
