MEsSHs. WARNER MILLER, Smith,

Nicaraguan Canal Company, called on
President Cleveland. Secretary Gresham
and Secretary Lamont yesterday in re-
gard to the appointment OF a commits
sion to examine the route of the pro-
posed canal provided for in clause OF
the sundry civil appropriation bill. and
which allows only SEQ zoo for ascertain
ing the feasibility, permanence, cost OF
construction and completion OF the
canal by the present route. The COM
mission is to consist OF one army engi--
neer, one naval engineer and one civ
ilian eYper;, who are to visit snd in
spect the canal. The work is to be done
under regulations prescribed by the
Secretary OF State, and the President is
to appoint the commission. As the
amount appropriated would not be more
than sufficient for the ex penses OF q re-
spectacle excursion party, the canal
officials offered to furnish all the fscili.
ties and equipments necessary for the
expedition, and to bear the expenses
for transportation, provisions, etc.
They are anxious, however, for the ex.
petition to start as soon as possible, as
the rainy season begins In May and
lasts until November. The expedition
will be engaged in the work three or
four months, but without the assistance
offered would not be able to make any
progress at all through country COW

agree in the opinion that the income
tax applies to foreigners owning any
kid OF property in this country
whether residents or non-residenss.
They point out that the law is specific
and clear on this point when 1t declares
that the tax shall be paid upon the
gains, profits and income from all
property owned and Of every business,
trade or profession carried on in tho
United States "by persons resid ing
without the United States" This will

STATE LEGISLATION.
WHAT Is GOING ON In THE TWO
HOUSES.
Some Good Bills Passed-Playing Horse
With Prohibition and Avoiding the
Freight-Rate Ghost.

1t has been customary in Kansas leg
islstures for some years to frequently
revive the liquor question in one shape
or another in order to kill tims and
avert the charge Of doing nothing. The
boys in the house are keeping up the
time.honored custom. The committee
on temperance, which was probably ore
sted for that purpose, recommended q
bill introduced by Mr.. HRckbusch Of
LeRvenworth, to amend the penalty
clause in the statutes OF 1889 which now
provides that any person convicted Of vio-
lating the prohibitory law ''shall be fined
in any sum not lees than 800 nor more
than $500 and DO imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than thirty days nor
more than ninety days." The amend.
ment is to strike out the word sand"
after $500 and insert the word "or,"
leaving it optional with the court as to
what kind OF a sentence the convicted
person shall be given. This was recon-
mended by Stromquist, Baker, Dickson,
Mathews, Mccarthy and Glenn, but the
storm Of noes that came from the out.
side has already killed 1t.
Then Representative Knipe took 9
shoot on the other side of the question
and undertook to make the penalty Of
Q Violator more severe by making him
work on q rock pile in case he fails to
pay his fine within thirty days after be-
ing imprisoned, and the minimum fine
was to be reduced from 500 to $50
This raised the indignation Of the mem.
beEs who do not look upon prohibition

tion and there was another howl. They
called it revival Of the inquisition and
all sorts Of things. Mr.. Cubbison re.
minded them that q few days before
they had adopted a resolution asking
the government to help us enforce pro.
hibition by refusing liquor license to
those who had no permit to sell under
the state law, and he wanted to know
why this means Of collecting fines should
not be adopted; he would either have
such q law or 90 back to the license sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Beekmsn, who ia stsunch friend
Of prohibition, thought this amendment
would weaken the law and q number OF
others agreed with him. So the thing
was defeated and the members settled
down TO study up some other fool plan
OF sgitatiDR the prohibition sentiment.

IN CLEVELAND'S OPINION
CONGRESS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO
THE MONEY LENDERS WILL.
He Ia Thankful That the BarOns Have
Consented to Let Our Government
Remain on Earth.

On February 8, the day following the
defeat Of the administration currency
bill, the president sent the following
message to congress, indicating that he
was determined to do that which he had
previously urged congress to do for him:
"T'o the Congress Of the United States:
"SinCe my recent communication to
congress, calling your attention to our
financial condition, and suggesting leg
islRtlon which l deemed essential to our
national welfare and credit, the anxiety
and apprehension then existing in bust.
ness CIRCLES have continued.
"As a preCaution, therefore, against
the failure Of timely legislative and
thorough congressional action, cautious
preparations have been pending to sm.
ploy to the best possible advantage, In
default of better means, such executive
authority ss may, without additional
Legislation, be exercised for the purpose
of reinforcing and maintaining in our
treasury an adequate and safe gold rec
serve.
"In the judgment Of those especially
charged with this responsibility, the
business situation is 80 critical and the
situation so unpromising with
the omission thus far on the part Of
congress to benehcially enlarge the
powers Of the secretary Of the treasury
in the premises, as to enjOin immediate
executive action with the facilities now
at hand.
Therefore, in pursuance Of section
3700 Of the revised statutes, the details
Of sn arrangement have this day been
concluded with parties sbundantly able
to fulfill their undertaking whereby
bonds Of the United States, authorized
under the act Of July IA, 1876, payable in
coin thirty years after date, with inter
sst at the rate Of 4 per cent. per annum
10 the amount OF q little less than S62,-
100000 are TO be issued for tho purchase
Of gold coin amounting to q sum
slightly in excess Of 65 million dollars, to
DO delivered to the treasury Of the
United States, which sum, added to the
gold now held in our reserve, will go re-
store such reserve as to make 1t amount

abroad, which ia q very important and
favorable feature Of the transaction.
"ThS privilege is especially reserved to
the government 10 substitute at par
within ten days from this date in lieu Of
tas 4.per cont. coin bonds other bonds in
terms payable In gold and bearing only
8 per cent. interest, IL the issue Of the
same should in the meantime be author
lied by congress.
'The arrangement thus completed,
which, after careful inquiry, appears
from present circumstances, and consid.
ering oil the objects desired, to be best
attainSbls, devslOpS such q difference

bonds made payable in coin and those

the privilege reserved would be $685., ,l59,
amounting in thirty years, or at the ma.
turity of the coin bonds, to $16,l74,770.
"Of course there should nsver be q
doubt in any quarter ss to the redemp.
tion in gold Of the bonds Of the govern
ment which are made payable in coin.
Therefore, the discrimination in the
judgment Of investors between our bond
obligations payable Ia coin and those
specifically made payable in gold Ia very
significant. It is hardly necessary to
suggest that whatever may be our views
on the subject, the sentiments or prefer
enoeS Of those with whom we must nego.
tlate in disposing Of our bonds for gold
are not subject to our dictRtion.
"I have only to add that, In my opin-
Ion, the transaction here intimsted for
the information Of congress promises
better results than the Efforts previously
made in the direction Of effectively
adding to our gold reserve through the
sale Of bonds, and believe il will tend
ss far as such action can in present
circumstances, TO meet the determina-
tion expressed in the law repeating the
silver purchasing clause Of the act OF
July IA, 1890, and that in the language
of such repeating act the arrangement
made will aid our efforts to ENSURE the
maintenance Of the parity in value Of the
coins Of the two metals and the equal
power Of every dollar at all times in the
markets and in the payment of debts.

TAXING JUDGMENTS
Senator Dsnnison's bill providing for
the taxing OF judgments, is growing pop
ular, and may become a law. It pro
Vides that "sll judgments shall be listed
for taxation by the owner or his agent,
in the county in which they are rem
dered. All judgments heretofore rem
dered which have not been listed for
taxation within one year after the tax
ing effect Of this act, and all judgments
which may hereafter be rendered, which
shall not have been listed for taxation
one year after it's rendition, shall be.
come dormant and cease to operate ss q
lien on the estate of the judgment
debtor"
FLAGS ON SCHOOL HOUSES.
Another reckless waste Of eloquence
was caused by Bsne6el's house bill re-
quiring United States flags to be Aostsd
from every school house in the state.
The author said the bill was presented
at the instance Of the G. A. R. at Coffsy-
vile. Naturally, the members who are
always most conspicuous at reunions,
got in the heaviest talk about teaching
children patriotism, but the opposition
reminded them that there were better
ways to teach patriotism than by dis
playing flags. The vote that killed the
bill was not q party one. Bsekmsn,
Campbell, Ssston Rnd Winters were
against it. Mr.. Winters said in KioWR
county it would be all you could do to
keep a Gag pole mp through Rll the
storms, much less q flag.

The Dream of Chemistry.

The electrician has one dream and
the social philosopher has anoth er.
But the chemist has also dream that
is as fanciful a: vision of the alchem-
ist of the dark ages. This is how he
would solve the problems of comfort
and happiness which have been put
to the human race:
'The chemist hopes for q synthetic
beefsteak, for chemical loaf, for q
cup of coffee made, like his soda water
extracts, out of inorganic matter. He
wants to see the day when a synthetic
climate shall envelop the earth, when
the rainmaker shall be prophet and
man shall hold the string to the un-
ruly bags OF Eolus.
SIN that day the food and raiment
of mankind will be produced in the
