Washington, April 1.-Representativ
Aldrich of Illinois, when asked today
how the Reed men felt about the Presi-
Dental situation in the light of the New
Hampshire resolution, said: "Oh, the
Reed nen are feeling very comfortable
this morning, thank you. The New
Hampshire incident does not disturb
us in the least The six delegates are
all "rock-ribbed, die-in-the- ditch Reed
men. and the graceful compliment to
Mckinley is no more than the greatest
tribute to the New England candidate,
which Ohio is paying every day through
letters which we are receiving from some
OF its foremost citizens
''This is the proper.spirit, it is the spir-
it which prevails among the friends of
the other candidates and should be en-
couraged, but in the parlance of the day,
cuts no ice' so far as the makeup of the
convention roll is concerned. Mr.. Reeds
friends are entirely satisfied with the sit
uation. If you will scant the dispatches
carefully this morning, you will note that
Mckinley has carried the delegates in
Illinois, the same which Grosvenor put
down in his estimate nearly a week ago
and in every estimate since. You will
see that Mckinley also carried a district
convention at GAINESVILLE But you will

Cullom delegates were elected in tbs

note that delegates were also elected in

that of the IA delegates elected in various
parts of the. country yesterday, but four
of them are for Mckinley. may add
furthermore that Virginia has not gone
for Mckinley, either, Notwithstanding the
dispatches that came over the wire yes
terday, that two counties had been in
structed for him. In the same dispatches
mention was made OF two other counties
which did not instruct and are not for
Mckinley.
Virginia, in my Judgment. is not a
Mckinley state, as the returns, when they
are all in, will show. These periodical
attempts to stampede the party to the
Ohio candidate are not going to pan
out. The delegates selected from now
on will, in the main, be anti Mckinley
delegates and large number of these
will be for Mr.. Reed, and while the hur-
rah sentiment seems to be for Nc
K1nley. it's votes that we are after.
Sentiment born of impulse is
all very well, but is the sober
deliberative judgment of the convention
that will and ought to control, and while
the returns continue to come in as salts
factorily as they are now doing, we are
quite willing that tho other fellows
should make as much noise as they
please"
"What about the situation in your own

EXPENSE OF NICARAGUA CANAL.
Captain Says 1t Can be Built for Six ty-five
Million or Twice That.


Washington, April Capt HID. lay
lor, president of the United States Naval
War College, Newport, R. l., addressed
the House committee on.commerce today
upon the practicability and cost.of the
construction of the Nicaragua canal. He
explained that he had never been suffi-
oiently identified with the enterprise to
speak with correctness of its enginee1-
ing details.
He was associated with it in an official
capacity several years. He did not be-
lieye even those hostile to the canal,
doubted it's praoticability; the only con-
sideration was as to cost. AS far as the
pecuniary outlay was concerned, it was
impossible he said, to spend $3.50, 600, 900
or $3.50, 900, 900 on the. canal. Under pru-
dent management these figures would
not exceed SIS, ZOO. .000.
This was the opinion of other persons
not connected with the company, but
who had such regard for their predictions
as to exercise great care In making esti-
mates. The oompany's estimate he said,
was $685. coo, 600, although several persons
believed it could be neutrality-suspicious.
with depth of 81 feet for not more than
S6U, 000, O00. Ii double looks were used
and the rock cut widened from 80 to 100
feet, the estimate could be run up to
800, 900, 900.
Passing to the question of the use of
the canal, he thought these would be
both national and international. 1t
would be great factor in establishing
the American flag on the seas, by taking
this intervening step; it would make our
coastwise commerce, deep sea commerce.
This, he asserted, would give new birth
to our shipping interest.
