NicARAouAN CANAL.

A Favorable Report on tho Proposed Route
to be Made by the United states CommIs-
sion-The Work Can be Completed In
Seven Years, but Will Cost Moro than tho
verely Criticised.
CINCINNATI. July 13.-A special to
the Post from Greytown, Nicaragua,
says that favorable report on the
Nicaraguan canal will be made by the
United States commission which has
been in the country for some weeks
and has carefully examined the pro-
posed canal route and the terminal
harbors on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
The commissioners are now at work
upon their report. which will be of an
exhaustive character. They will state
their unanimous conclusion that the
Colorado bar, which has caused so
much trouble at the entrance to Grey
town harbor, can be partially removed
by dredging. and that a permanent
opening through it can be maintained
by building and maintaining a sea
wall of piling to the southwark of the
harbor, SO as to break the ocean cur
rent which washes up the sand on the
bar.
The commissioners think that the
work of constructing the canal can
be completed within term of six or
seven years, but that the total cost
will exceed the limit set by the pro-
jectors, and that $40, 200, 900 will not
be an excessive figure.
The commission will ventilate it's
opinion of the former management of
the'canal enterprise. and will present
number of severe criticisms in this con-
nection.
The commission consists of Col. VIM.
Ludlow. of the army; Civil Engineer
NJ. I. Endicott, of the navy; Alfred
Noble, of Chicago. civilian. All are
appointed by the president All
are on the cruiser Montgomery and are
due at Key West, Fla, to-day.

A FISCAL STATEMENT.
Heavy Receipts and ExPenditures-Th
Treasury Balances.

Heavy Receipts and Exrenditures-The
Treasury Balances.
WASHINGTON, July 1a.-Treasury re.
ceipts and expenditures have both
been running heavy so far this month.
The former have obtained the aggre-
gate of $40. 979. 900, or nearly S1,25O. DOC
a day, Sundays and holidays excluded.
and the expenditures foot up Sa3.3ls..
600, making the deficit S12.33s, 900.
Since July the general treasury bal
ance, according to the printed daily
statement. has declined $4,000. 900,
standing at s191, SIS. 900. From this
there is to be deducted Sc, 527,6ie for
bonds and interest paid.
The gold reserve has declined from
S1O7. $50, 900 to S1O7.213.O0O. The
amount of treasury notes and United
States notes redeemed in gold and re.
issued was 1888, 1s9.
1t is not believed that the deficit will
be very much increased for the month
over the figures it has now reached,
and it may be reduced.

THE DEFENDER.

sBlind john Herreshod's Leatest Crea.
tiOn In . Beauty.
PROVIDENCE, E. l., July 12.-Defend.
er, the latest creation of blind John"
Herreshoff, is aptly named. She was
built for business, and a more bust.
n.sS-like craft never left the ways.
All who have seen the Defender agree
that she is far and away the finest
yacht for racing purposes ever pro-
duced in this country. The Vigilant
has been remodeled on lines similar
to those employed in the construction
of the new NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
boat, but few believe that the sue
cessful cup defender of 1898 is in the
same class with Defender. The opin-
ion is quite generally held by yachts
men in this part of the country that
Defender is the boat that Lord Dun
raven will have to reckon with, and
of the ultimate result there is no shad-
ow of doubt that the old Americas
cup will remain in this country for an
other year at least. 1t is difficult to
compare the new boat and Valkyrie
III. as yet, but. measured by every
known standard of comparison at hand,
it is obvious that Dunraven has under
taken hopeless task.
The Defender is built for speed in
all sorts of weather. Her trial brush
with the Colonia on Sunday last demon
strated this. In a 10-mile race to wind
ward the Defender beat the Colonia
more than eight minutes. She worked
like piece of well-oiled machinery,
coming about nearly on her own axis
at one time in fifteen seconds, at an
other in sixteen seconds and a third in
eighteen seconds. This fine work in
stays is in strong contrast to that of
the Vigilant- The latter vessel in the
'93 races took on an average of twenty
three seconds to come about, and in
the races in England. in the land-locked
courses, an even greater number of
seconds were consumed No British
cutter ever turned so quickly as did
the Defender when Nat Herreshoff put
the wheel ''hard down" The work
was marvellous
At distance the Defender looks q
good deal like the Vigiiant; but close
aboard. say within 100 yards. her extra
power in hull and sail plan is very ap-
parent. She seemed, when on an even
keel, last Sunday, to sit a little down
by the head. but the crew were all for
ward at the time, and the fault was
more apparent than real However,
slight change has been made in the
bearings at this point, and the defect
has thus been remedied.
In heavy sea the Defender stands
up like a church, and she has sailed
closer up in the wind at odd times in
the past few days than any Herresho6
yacht ever before put in the water.

DEFICIT OF REPUBLICANS.


Tho Country Crippled Under the Haxrisoa
Adminfstration.
When Tanner said "God help the
surplus he fastened by confession on
the republican party all the blame for
the deficit which Carlisle finds at the
close of the fiscal year.
| Treasury embarrassments caused by
the mortgages of the Reed congress
predestined the panic of 1893 and the
deficit of 1895.
| It was an embarrassed treasury
| which engendered the distrusts OF the
governments ability to continue the
redemption of currency notes It was
a Mckinley tariff which hampered
trade and prevented q normal increase
of customs revenues Long before
Harrieon vacated the white house
every dnaucier in America perceived
that trouble was impending, and that
the government must issue bonds or
default in its payments Harrison's
secretary Of the treasury had the bonds
ready, and only by sharp practice was
able to drag along until the 4th OF
March, 1898.
Republican extravagance made q deh-
cit and a panic which. by reducing
trade and revenue receipts. prevented
the immediate success of democratic
efforts to administer the government
economically and honestly.
A democratic tariff is encouraging
trade. The governments receipts are
increasing. Wages are rising. Mines
and factories are busy. The farmer is
getting better prices. The merchant
is selling more good0 Exports are
more active. American securities are
attracting purchasers A republican
administration left financial confusion
and universal gloom The democratic
administration will leave confidence in
the good faith of the government, la
balance in the treasury, prosperous
condition of business and a hopeful
people.
II the policy of the Harrison admin
istration and the Fifty. first congress
had continued to this date, it would
have increased the national debt by
hundreds of millions, if it could, in
deed, have avoided the disgrace of a
suspension of specie payments.
We are dealing with republican
deficit. Under democratic manage
ment we shall wipe it out and recuper-
ate from its effects, as we overcame
the republican panic and restored the
activity of business.-St. Louis Re-
public.

A JEALOUS WIFE

Mother Love Conquers and Both ar.
Saved.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. July 13.-1t
developed yesterday morning that
Mrs John Lewis. living in the southern
part of this city. made a sensational
attempt at suicide and murder Thurs
day. She took large dose of strych
nine and then gave a dose of the
deadly drug to her 5-year-old daughter,
Bessie. Not satisfied with this she
then tried to strangle the little girl
with towel.
The suffering of the little one
aroused the pity of the crazed mother
who sent for a physician. The woman
told him the whole story, and the
mother and child were saved by hard
work. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Lewis. who is % years of age, was
jealous of two young ladies who are
residents of the same house. She has
also been considered slightly off OF
the subject of spiritualism.
