PANAMA CANAL EXTENSION.
The Railroad and the French
Company May Unite.

New YORK, Feb. 26.-The Her.
aid correspondent at Panama
cables: 1t is believed here that
the Colombian Government in
tends granting a years extension
of the canal concession. 1t may
grant an extension until the end
of March jointly to the canal and
the railroad company on condition
that they consolidate and reorgan-
ize into single company under a
Colombian charter. M. Mango, it
is certain, has carried power from
each and has adroitly satisfied the
Government that no breach of
faith was intended by the late
transfer of canal material.
The Panama Star and Herald
this morning printed six-column
article inspired by the local attor-
ney of the railroad. 1t warns the
Colombian Government to place no
faith in American propositions !;
charges the United States with be-
ing simply puppet in the hands
of the transcontinental railroad
kings, who, should they secure the
concession and supplant the
French corporation, would neither
resume work on the canal nor al
low others to complete it. The
article goes on to say that the in
terests of the canal and railway are
now practically identical that
they are equally amenable to Col
ombia, which alone has jurisdic-
tion as to the question at issue.
At a citizens meeting on the
plaza this morning Ex-Governor
Ruiz, prominent Liberal, oppos-
ed an extension of time to the
canal company, and Senior Osss,
Chilean Consul, favored it. The
discussion was exceedingly acri-
monious. On q division an extern
sion was recommended.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
DIR. Lucas on Thumbs Up, or
Thumbs Down."


Rev. DR.. Lucas held the fort
again at the \. NJ. C., A, PaIlors
last evening for one hour and a
half, The audience was larger than
at the lecture the previous evening,
in spite of inelement weather, The
lecturer held the close attention of
his auditors from beginning to end
everyone apparently interested in
the store of facts that fell from
the lips of the reverend gentleman.
The audience was swayed from
grave to gay by the remarks of the
distinguished lecturer. His humor-
Gus anecdotes were fully appreci-
ated by the listeners as indicated
by the frequent bursts of merry
laughter which greeted them.
After speaking for over an hour,
every now and then referring to
temperance topics enlivened with
scintilations of genuine humor, DR..
Lucas introduced the subject of his
lecture, "Thumbs up, or thumbs
down."
About twenty centuries ago,
within the colosseum at Rome,
there assembled on numerous
occasions 100000 people to wit
ness two gladiators stab each other
to death. 1t afforded delightful
amusement to men and women of
that age to witness such an out
rageous sight, n brutal exhibition
that could not be conducted any
where in the world to-day. The
world has improved since then,
but slowly. In an old picture he
said, it represented the victorious
gladiator standing with his dagger
while his victim lay at his feet as
though begging for mercy. The
conqueror was looking at a COM
pany of young ladies whose deci-
sion was final, whether to spare or
to finish his foe. The ladies had
their thumbs down which meant
'spare his life.' To turn the
thumb down required a little
exertion and struggle, and
it was true then as now.
To try and work to save humanity
to-day requires exertion as much
as it did the ladies in the Roman
amphitheatre many centuries ago.
While on the other hand, turning
the thumb up was the easiest
thing in the world to do, and re-
quired not the least exertion to ac-
complish it. There are many in
the world with "thumbs up" who
actually do nothing to save their
fellow man. Those who are not
"grasshoppers" are not afraid to do
a little to 60 onward and advance
the world. One half of the men in
this world had the mule quality in
them-they -do nothing but kick
and oppose any onward movement
for the betterment of mankind.
The speaker advised his hearers to
have pity on such creatures and
not to mind them. Such unfortu-
nate people could not avoid it be-
cause they are born so. 1t pleases
them to oppose everything.
DIR. Lucas will deliver one of his
most popular lectures tomorrow
evening at the Y. M. G. A. His
subject will be "Queer Things I
Saw in Australia" A uniform
charge of 25 cents will be levied to
cover expenses.

Your communication asking for in
formation concerning the islands has
been duly received. We have been
in receipt of so many similar inquir
les that it is impossible to make in
diyidual reply to all of them. This
short circular has therefore been
drawn up setting forth briefly what
the situation is in the islands. and
replying in gross to the different
questions asked.
The last year or two in the Hawai-
ian Islands have been years of great
business depression, the Mckinley
bill having seriously crippled all in
dustries there. The result has been
to throw many people out of employ
ment. Such conditions still exist. IL
annexation to the United States takes
place, undoubtedly there will be a
business revival and great impetus
given to every line of industry. Such
conditions will not come about imme
diately, however, and we should not
advise any one to go to the islands
for the immediate present who has
not sufficient money to maintain him
self for some time without regard to
what employment he may obtain.
To persons having some capital to
invest we can confidently recommend
the islands as sound field for in.
vestment, and would recommend
their investigation of the situation
there. The island formation is al
most entirely volcanic, and there are
no minerals except iron, of which
there are some deposits suitable for
manufacture into mineral paint. The
resources of the islands are agricul-
tural. They are ss yet practically
undeveloped, excepting in the culti-
vation of sugar and rice. The field
is yet untouched for the small farmer.
A great future is in store for coffee,
oranges, bananas and other tropical
fruits. There is great promise in
tobacco. The islands also produce
many valuable fibres. The forests

"PM KING OF HAWAII"
Captain So0fps Experience With
Crazy Man on the Relief.

a Crazy Man on the Relief.
About noon of Feb. oath, some
one claiming to represent the Ex-
aminer, telephoned to the Spreck-
els Company and chartered tug
for a trip to Santa Cruz. The Elk.
aminer often charters a tug when
news is be obtained that way, and
the Relief was ordered to make the
trip.
Soon afterward man about 81
years of age and dressed like a
clerk stepped on board the tug and
asked Captain Scott if that was
the boat hired by the Examiner
On being answered in the aflirma-
tive the stranger said, "All right
Shove off and get to Santa Cruz as
quick as steam can drive you" In
very short time the Relief was
flying down the bay at full speed
and as soon as he had seen the
decks cleared for sea Scott took q
look at his passenger.
The man was standing near the
forward end of the house gazing
intently out to sea, and Scott asked
why a tug had been chartered when
his passenger could get to Santa
Cruz quicker by rail. "That's all
right. | am going down to fetch
up my wife, and the bills will be
paid by the Examiner" he an
swered. On being asked what de-
partment of the paper he represent
ed the man replied Il run the
whole paper-I am the manager.
By this time a faint suspicion
crossed the shippers mind that his
passenger was not what he repre-.
sented himself to be.
THE MAN WAS CRAZY.
When the tug was down off Black
Point and heading for sea at a
fourteen knot gait, the man yelled
"Say, you fellow, is that salt
water? Will it drown a MANI
The deckhand to whom the ques.
ton was put replied that a man
would drown anywhere in water
The question startled Capt. Scott
and he at once demanded the
mans name. my name is Nit
cheal, and I have been appointed
King of the Hawaiian Islands, and
this Santa Cruz trip is only a bluff
to lrow the reporters off the trail,
and Scott jumped for the bell. The
signal to stop was given, and a;
the boat slowed down the fellow
yelled: "That's right, change hel
course to Honolulu | am the
Kingp AS the Relief headed back
for San Francisco the fellow said
q was run out of New York fol
trying to kill James G. Fair, the
millionaire, and I'll kill him yet"
Scott got the tug back to Meigg'
wharf as fast as possible, and die
not breathe easy until he saw th'
man racing up the wharf to catcl
a street Cars. F. Examiner.
