HOMESTEAD, Nov. 9O.-The activity
displayed at the steel works shows that
every department is running full, and
the material that is now being turned
out is said by those who are competent
to speak quite an improvement to the
product turned out previous to the ter
mination of the strike. A large number
of the old men have succeeded in get
ting their old places back. There are
still a great many idle men seen stand
ing on the street corners. To many it
looks very gloomy. as they felt
certain they would get their old
places rs soon as the strike ended. Mr..
David Lynch, who was a member of the
advisory board, is chairman of the re-
lief committee and is authorized to re-
ceive contributions for the destitute
workingmen OF this place.

The second night Of the Cathedral
fair at the l. o. o. F. hall was q scene of
activity and beauty last night. One who
ascends the broad stairs with the ex-
pectation of merely finding an excuse
for giving money to a good cause, is
amazed at the g~orgeousness Of the scene
and the perfection of every detail. On
every side the eyes are greeted with
booths, brilliantly lighted and tastefully
decorated, attended by bright-eyed
maidens. waiting with cheerful smiles
to greet him. The entire hall is trans
formed into a temple OF beauty.
Last evening the aisles were thronGed
with people, viewing the booths and
brilliant decorations under the bright
glare OF countless gas jets.
All the ladies in charge OF the booths
report increased sales yer those OF the
opening night. Every II in charge
was kept constantly busy selling and
exhibiting articles on sale.
A great deal Of interest is taken in
the guessing matches. All articles are
replaced as fast as possible, so that
those that go tonight will have the
same choice OF variety OF articles as on
the opening night.
Quite a number of meals were served
during the day to business men who
sought something good to eat. In fact,
every one was rushed. All should go
early tonight, and take in everything,
il they want to enjoy a pleasant even
ing. Fine music by the Opera House
orchestra is furnished through the
entire evening.

In April, 1890, a resolution was
adopted by the senate directing the
committee on foreign relations to in
quire into the conditions and prospects
Of the Maritime Canal Company of
Nicaragua, and to consider and report
what, in the opinion OF the committee,
the interests of the United States might
require in respect to ~inter-oceanic COM
munication. The committee, compris-
ing some of the ablest men of the SEN
ate OF both political parties, entered
into a thorough investigation of the
subject matter presented for their con-
sideration, and finally submitted a re-
port with a bill whose passage the COM
mittee recommended. The senators
who signed this report were Sherman
and Payne, OF Ohio; Edmunds, Of Yer
mont; Frye, Of Maine; Evarts, OF New
York; Dolph, Of Oregon; Morgan. OF
Alabama; d. NJ. Brown, Of Georgia,
and Eustis, OF Louisiana. The plan
proposed in the bill was dictated by the
committee and agreed to by the COM
pany subject to the approval of Con-
gress.
The senate had undertaken an inves-
tigation OF the subject because OF its
great public importance. Tho bill was
not passed, but it isurged that Congress
ought to speedily to take il up and pass
1t, or an amendment bill in order that
tho company may not be delayed in the
completion OF the work by any ground
less hope OF governmental assistance.
The committee took occasion to say that
the terms were suggested by them and
agreed to after many conferences, al
though the company were not DESTROYS
OF surrendering what they considered a
favorable business and which they had
no doubt OF their ability to successfully
execute. The canal enterprise had no
lobby or agency at Washington and the
proposals Of the committee were not re-
garded as especially advantageous to the
promoters OF the enterprise. The COM
mittee in their report submitted the
documents, engineering surveys, etc,
upon which finding the report was
based, and expressed the opinion that

Importance of tho Construction of tn
CnnnIto tho Unttod Statea

Importance of tho Construction of the
CanaIto tho United stateG
The convention is tho outgrowth OF
n healthy public sentiment prevailing
over the country in favor Of the hasten
ing to completion of an inter-oceanic
water way, which not only promises to
yield immense profit, but which it
seems to be almost uniformly conceded
ought to be under the control of the
United States government as q political
necessity and from a strategic stand
point. The convention promises to be
abundantly fruitful in results, and be-
ing OF q non-political character and en-
tirely dis~associated from the private
corporation at present engaged in
carrying forward the project which it
is intended to further, it ought to be
from its personal and its representative
nature a body OF great public weight
and wide influence. The present con
vention is the sequel of a formal similar
gathering at st. Louis, held in June last,
and which had its origin with the mer-
chants OF the Pacific coast. At their
instance a convention had been held in
California in March, as q result of
which Governor Markham requested
the governors Of the various states to
appoint delegates to assemble in the
mound city in convention to memorial
ize Congress to contract with the canal
company to secure control in the con
struction and management Of the canal
so as to reduce the cost of construction
to a minimum, and to limit the capital
ization to actual cost of construction.
The convention at st. Louis was well
attended and was provided over by Hon.
George Converse. It had the effect Of
adding force to growing public senti-
ment in favor OF federal supervision and
assistance in the building OF the canal,
and it adjourned to reconvene at u time
and place to be determined upon by the
chairman and the executive committee.
1t was in pursuance of the authority
conferred at st. Louis that Chairman
Converse and the executive committee
selected New Orleans and to-day, as the
place and date OF the convention. In
vitations were extended by Governor
Foster, of Louisiana, and the executive
committee of the St. Louis convention
to the governors OF the various states
and to all the leading commercial orGa-
nizations and municipalities of the coun-
try to appoint delegates to represent
their respective states or bodies. The
responses received have exceeded the
anticipations OF the promoters OF the
convention. and the indications point
to a large and distinguished convention.
1t is proper hero to refer to the present
relations between the government and
the canal enterprise.
