ENGLISH AID NOT WANTED.
Declared That United States Will
Build Nicaragua Canal Alone.

WASHINGTON, d. G., l4-Action on the
Nicaragua canal will be one of the first ques-
tons pressed on the attention of the next
congress. The subject has been canvassed
by letter and otherwise, and there is little
doubt, that a canal bill will be promptly in
trdduced and passed.
What the president will have to say on the
subject In his message to congress is matter
that causes much conjecture: A prominent
democratic senator Expressed the belief that
tho president would advocate the CONSTITUTE
tio, of th, oo""i, but also expressed the fear
that there would be in tho message an i'm
piled recommendation that Great Britain be
invited to join with the United States in the
great work.
The senator stated that our relations with
Great Britain appeared to him to be drifting
in that direction, that such Il policy was ad-
vocated by Ambassador Bayard, and that it
might be outlined in the forthcoming mes
sage. Congress. this gentleman added, would
never pass bill providing for the joint in.
terest Of the English government In the work
which he believed tho United States was des-
tined to carry through to completion.

NIAGARA FALLS, Nov. 4-The water in
the Niagara River is lower than it has
over been within the memory Of the oldest
iphabitant. 1t hus been steadily going down
for some time, until now rocks which have
nsver before been seen are plainly visible.
The most noticeable evidence is in tho
Gorge. The docks on both sides of the river
stand up on the banks several feet from the
present margin. The water pours ont very
slowly from the rocks beneath the American
falls. At tho Horseshoe Falls the volume is
so diminished that the deep laundering tone
has changed to a lighter. Table Rock Is en-.
tlrely dry and no water tumbles down the
Cascades between the Three Sister Islands.
The Welland river, which is the largest
contributOry stream to the Niagara river
hereabouts, has now no porceptible flow.
Fear is expressed that should eastern gales
spring up the river may run nearly dry, rs
the water would be forced up the lakes Tho
present state of affairs is caused by general
low water in :he lakes whose levels were never
before so low.
