WHEN. DOCTORS DIFFER.

Warner Miller is reported as having said
that he had been invited by the Senate CON-
mittee on Foreign Relations to make prop
osition looking to the transfer OF the Mica
raguan Canal Company. to- the United
States. Mr.: Miller said that be had gone to
Washington and offered TO make thetrans-
fer for Wharf.-The committee would say was
fair price,. considering the. expenditure
already made and the time and labor in
Yolved. The point Of this statement Is that
Mr.. Miller does net consider that there are
insurmountable obstacles In tile way OF
transfer of. the company's right to the
United States and a prosecution: OF the
canal as Government enterprise The po-
sition. Mr. Miller is reported: TO have taken
is In direct conflict to that of,AIr. John T.
Doyle. the canal company,s~: legal adviser.
Mr.. Doyle says over his own signature that
"a canal built and owned :by the United
States .G0yernment is. impossible" Why
impossiblep Mr. Doyle tells the public in
another part Of his .1ettar that. the. Clayton.
Bulwertreaty OF 1850 forbids IT. ..sDown to
this date" says Mr.. Doyle. "the United
States have. respected and lived up to their
treaty obligations and will probably con-
tinue to. do: SO for some little time YET"
Leaving out Of consideration the somewhat
general opinion that the conditions of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty were violated by
Great Britain soon after the treaty was
signed and: that The treaty has In conse-
qnence ceased to be considered as binding.
the absolute right of nation. to withdraw
from treaty upon due notice is everywhere
recognized. No administration could shape
the policy of the Government forty years In
the future. 1t could make treaty for the
time being. TO be binding until abrogated
according to ITS terms, but it would be pre-
aposterous to assume that any administra-
tion could make a treaty that succeeding
administration mightnot annuL. The Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty recognizes the equal right
OF Great Britain on the American conti-
nent with the United States. Both nations
agreed not to colombo. occupy, fortffy or ex-
escise dominion over any part Of Central
America. This agreement is in conflict
with the Monroe doctrine, which declares
In effect that no European nation shall ac-
ouire new rights on the American continent.

a special tax or inheritances. The Ameri-
can idea In respect to these large accumula-
tons of property is tina. OF distribution
equally among natural heirs. If the late
Mr.. Vanderbilt had divided his estate
among his five children, giving the heirs of
his deceased daughter one share. they
would have had ten or twelve millions each.
This would not be considered an accumula-
ton that would threaten the peace of
society. Ii these heirs should divide their
portions with natural Accommodations among
their children, the individual fortunes of
the family would not be large enough to be
regarded with apprehension. But both the
Astors and the Vanderbilts have followed
the English fashion of massing the greater
part of their property on the Oldest son.
The daughters OF William Astor are given
So 100000 each, while one sou gets $50. 000 900.
The Vanderbilts are massing money In the
same way. The Rockefeller family Is In
the first generation of great wealth. but the
fortune of its eldest member is estimated TO
be greater than that Of any Astor or Van
derbilt. III John w. Rockefeller should de-
wise the bulk Of his $40, coo. 900. more or
less. to one son the accumulation possible
10 the second and third generations would
be menace to republican institutions.
