A contributor to the New York
Evening Post finds himself able, in
reviewing the manners of contempo-
rary American men, to aver that the
rising generation of boys is a great
deal better bred than the lot that pre-
ceded them. For purposes of com
parison he classifies Americans whose
behavior has come under his per-
sonal observation into gentlemen of
the old school, surviving examples of
which were still extant in his youth,
gentlemen of school which began
about 1876, aud the youths of the
present period. He relates a number
of affecting characteristics of the
school of 1875, and praises its latter
day successors as being more civil,
more deferential to their elders, and
better balanced, las shown in their
being much less apt to fall over one
another in Offering attentions to casual
and unidentified Englishmen who may
have struggled over to this country.
In this new school of better Ameri-
cans this observer sees "the influence
of their mothers-those women We
knew as girls, and who were so far
ahead of their brothers and husbands
in refinement and culture" To have
seen these girls marry and bring VI
their sons so well has been, he says
a satisfaction aud compensation fol

KANSAS COURTS
Clash With the Federal Authorities
Concerning Insurance

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Aug. A.

Who, few days ago, as judge of the fed
eral court issued at Manitou a sweeping
injunction in behalf of the Mutual Life
Insurance company of New York, re-
Nall of Kansas from preventing this in
surance company from doing business
in Kansas, was seen today in Manitou
in regard to the report that Gov. Leedy
and the state administration proposed
to contest the order. He said: II issued
the order in the discharge of my duty
as a federal judge because 1 believe that
under the laws of Kansas this company
is entitled to transact it's business in that
state as long as it Is shown to be in a
solvent state. That is the principal requi-
site for securing a license under the state
laws. The state superintendent refuses
it a license because the company was
contesting a claim of $4,000 made by
Mrs Hilton on an insurance policy
which it claimed to be fraudulent, but
as that did not come under the provis-
ions of the law l issued my restraining
order against the state officials The
case has been tried a number of times
before Justice Brewer. Justice Foster
and myself, but always resulted in a
hung jury. If the state authorities op-
pose my order the matter will get into

A Message Regarding the Great Wat

Meets in the Fall
Associated Press Special Wire.


WASHINGTON. August 4.-No mat
ter what the attitude of the Greater
Republic of Central America may be,
the present intention of the admins
tration is to recommend governmental
control of the Nicaragua canal when
Congress assemblies next December
This was made plain at a conference
at the State Department participated il
by Assistant Secretaries Adee and Grid
Ter. Senator Morgan, former Senator Mil
Ter and Mr.. Merry, the recently appoint
ed Minister to Nicaragua, Salvador and
Costa Rica. regarding the complications
which have grown out of the refusal of
the governments of Nicaragua and Sal
vador to receive Mr.. Merry.
1t has been practically decided that
Mr.. Merry shall go to Costa Rica and
that the headquarters Of the legation
shall be transferred to that country
from Nicaragua. No steps will be taken
to make the transfer, however, until the
governments of Nicaragua and Salvador
have again been heard from.
The administration, believes there is
no necessity of entering even into new
convention with Nicaragua with a view
to securing authority for the construc-
tion of a water way. The program it
will follow will be based upon the pro-
visions of the convention now in force,
as well as the concession which was
granted to an American company by the
Nicaraguan government for the con-
struction of the canal This concession
will not expire for three years.
Acting in accordance with instruc-
tions given by the State Department,
Mr.. Baker is watching every move of
the opponents of the canal in Nicaragua
and making reports thereon to the State
Department, so that in case of necessity
prompt action may be taken by the au-
thorities.
; The Walker commission, which has
been holding meetings at the State De-
partment, will make a preliminary re-
port to Congress at the beginning of the
session, setting forth its estimates.
Should this report show that the cost
would not be greater than 100000, 600 the
President will probably have something
to say in his first annual message in re-
gard to the bility of the passage
of bill by Congress guaranteeing the
construction of the canal under govern
mental control.
