The reception OF the Presidents mes

people are n unit on the Monroe docS
trine. Between nations no doctrine, no
principle, no action can be upheld ex-
cept by force. Twenty centuries of
civilization have failed to establish the

English writer's characterized 1t as the
"nebulous Monroe Doctrine" To-day
that principle has an entity, an in
dividuality In the unwritten laws be-

A writer In the December number Of
the North American Review says: I'VE
all know that the development and ex-
pansion Of nationalities follow the
lines Of least resistance and are gov
erned by innexible natural laws. Equal
ly well known are the principles which
govern the redistribution Of trade CEN
ters resulting from the opening up OF
new channels Of commerce" The same
writer says when the Nicaragua Canal
Is opened Europe will be brought to the

The Monroe Doctrine assures the

Great Britain is still suffering from
the detection Of commerce from the

At the appointed time Mr.. Tibbitts, the

following statement in his room. where
he received the members of the press:
General Harrison authorizes the an.
nouncement that he and Mrs. Dim

A peculiar fact In respect to Pc
troleum is the difference Of conditions
under which that oil occurs in Rus
sia and America. In the former 1t Is
found in strata of the tertiary period,
usually a formation resembling a
quicksand and at depths of only a few
hundred feet-in this country it oc-
ours at great depths in the older COM
pact sandstones and limestones OF the
Carboniferous, Devonian. and Silurian
periods. The oil of Russia consists OF
a class of hydrocarbons known as
napthenes, belonging to the benzine
groups, while American oil Is mainly
composed of paraffine; 1t is to this dif-
ference that the great variation be-
tween the products from these oils Is
due, for, while American oil yields
very large proportion, say about 70 per
cent, of illuminating oil exactly suit
ed for combustion in ordinary lamps,
the Russian oil produces far less OF
such oil and larger proportion OF
high-class lubricating oil.

count.

STATE CANAL NO. I.
Its Consiruciion u Iis Proceeded with

Its Construction u ISs Proceeded with
Throug,. the ISsu. of Water scrip.
Denver. Jan. 2O-Construction work
on State Canal No.>l. Is to he proceeded
with at once on the plan devised at
Fridays meeting of the State Peniten-
tiary commissioners, held In Governor
McIntirc's office. by which 1t was
agreed To issue water scrip at Z per
cent. Interest In payment for assis-
.nnce In completing the canal. The
proposition put forward by the COM
missiOners was considered yesterday
by Governor McIntire and Attorney
General Carr, and approved after hav-
Ing been slightly amended.
Acting under the governors in
structions the attorney general has
written the pcnitentiary commission
ers, telling them to push the canal
work as soon ms enough of the water
certificates have been taken up to war
rant the success of their plans. 1t Is
probable that before the job is half
finished the remainder of 1t will be
taken out of the hands of the state.
syndicate Of capitalists now stands
ready to purchase the canal outright,
and In all likelihood the deal will be
closed by the time the next Legislature
meets. or course the sale would have
to be provided for by an act Of the
Legislature.
An act passed In 1893 created n
board of control Of the canal, Of
which the governor Is a member. In
providing this body with the means Of
carrying on the work the act OF 1893
carried with 1t the idea of nm Issuance
OF certificates OF Indebtedness. The
board was also given charge OF the
canal from n point about three miles
west of the penitentiary, while all east
of that was left to the penitentiary
commissioners. This appointment
originated the belief that convict lab
or could not be used on the west side
of the dividing line. Governor Mc1n-
tire and Attorney General Carr have
taken issue with this theory, and
decided that 1t need not of necessity
be put into practice.
The most important deviation made
by the governor and attorney general
from the system devised by the peni.
tentiary commissioners is that nothing
but cash subscriptions shall be paid
for the water scrip. Offers of labor,
teams, etc. had been made by the COM
missioners by people owning property
on the line of the canal. and they had
decided to close with them. The gov
ernor and attorney general say II
would he disadvantageous to accept In.
Dor In return for the scrip, and so Gen.
eral Carr yesterday afternoon instruct.
ed the penitentiary commissioners not
to exchange their water certificates for
anything but cash.

Ing to hold 1t June 2. two weeks be-

There was practically no change, ex-
cept slight fiuctuation of n vote or

the twentieth ballot New York's
strength was rapidly disintegratng,
her vote going almost bodily to Chica-

cIously clung to her 10 votes, also cap
