(SpectatOr, April 23.

The main political interest of the week has
been the publication by Mr.. Murray, in pam
phlet fo1m, of a letter addressed by Mr.. Glad
stone to Mr.. Samuel Smith upon the subject Of
Female Suffrage. We have said enough uron
the subject elsewhere, but may add here that We
see no trace in the letter Of the indefnitereSs
or spirit Of compromise which some of our
contemporaries have c~ontrived to read into it,
1t is, for Mr.. Gladstone, singularly free from
reserves and ~loopholes. he begins, no doubt,
by affirming that the country has never con
sidered the proposal, but he advises the House
to reject Sir A. Rollits's Bill, which only gives
the vote to female householders and dodgers,
upon grounds which would be fatal to female
franchise even if universal suffrage were con-
ceded. Mr.. Gladstone maintains, in fact, that there
is an interchangeable difference of social func-
ton between the sexes, and that by transfer
ring the duty of one to the other, the
highest qualities of women may be destroyed.
That is surely intended to be final, as Is

Business would have been exceed
ingly dull, but for the arrival Of the
Swedish str. Ceres belonging
to Messrs. George Vessels & Co.
and consigned to Mr.. i. L. Maduro,
for the purpose of loading here with
bananas. This steamer, on her ar
rival, proceeded to a spot contiguous
to the entrance of the Panama Ca
nal, and in a short space of time,
took in between ID and II thousand
punches of choice bananas, conveyed
to the spot mentioned by the growers
in the neighbourhood. Afterwards
the steamer went and anchored in the
stream and completed her cargo with
~cocoanuts and ivory nuts, after which
she proceeded to New. York direct.
This purchase Of fruit has had the
best Of effect, and is an evidence of
what the Isthmus could produce in

that line. Another steamer is ex-
pected shortly and already active
preparations are being made to sup
ply her with a full cargo Of bananas.
Exchange has gone down by two
per cent on New York, sc on Lon
don, and Ga on Paris. The premium
on gold maintains itself at 66 per
cent.
Canal affairs are still dragging
themselves along. The latest phase
is the sending to New York, to the
Vicomte d Abzac, Consul General
for France in that city, Of letters ro-
gatory issued by the Judges investi-
eating the Canal scandals i n-Paris,
by virtue of which evidence is to be-
taken in New York of fnanciers and

the purchase Of the Panama Railroad
shares, the original cost O (which was
quoted at the time Of their purchase
at one hundred dollars, while they f.
CURE on the Canal Company's books
at $268.25 per share. 1t is in order
to throw some light on this suspi-
cious transaction, which cost the
Canal Shareholders sixty-fVe million
francs more than it should, that the
Judge in Paris has sent to New York
the rogatory commission referred to.
Senior Augustin Yelez, Inspector
Of this port, has lately issued q re-
port addressed by him to the Minister
Of Finance at Bogota, on the work
ing Of this department of the Public
service during the year 1891. The
report contains a paragraph referring
specially to the r. M. S. Moselle, the
conclusion of which is Numerically
opposed to those arrived at by the
admirerers of the r. NJ. Co., who
take advantage Of all opportun-
tiles to puff an administration, the
foibles Of which have been the theme
Of strong animadyersions by the
West Indian Press. Ia tbs connec-

Of the port corrobCrate the opinions
