friends of the bill that if the COM
merce of the proposed canal should
be only one-half of that of the Suez
canal, and at much lower rate per
ton that it would be a success fnan-
cially, and besides the great CONNER
cial and agricultural benefits it would
be fine thing because of the strate-
getic and naval advantages it affords.
It is claimed, and it probably is true,
that if the United States does not
take it up and push the canal along
that they will apply to England for
aid and there is but little doubt that
they would get it as England would be
glad to get the control of the propos-
ed canal, and with it once under her
control the United States would be
placed under great disadvantage in
case of trouble with England.

Upon the simple conditions that the
plans are approved and sufficient
income is secured, Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan has made the princely offer to
the trustees Of the New York Lying
in Hospital of a building which will
cost $1,OOO,OOO. The plans contem-s
plate a fire proof structure, ten
stories in height, to be built of granite
and pressed brick, to have accommo
dations for $50 patients (about 5000
yearly, and to be thoroughly equip
ped. It will be erected on the estate
of the late Hamilton Fish, corner of
Second Avenue and Seventeenth st.
The trustees expect to be able to
raise forthwith an endowment fund
to provide resources to carry on the
institution. New York will have
maternity hospital which will be a
pride to the city as well as a bene
faction to the poor.

TO PARLIAMENT.

Queen Victoria's speech is for the
most part, the usual colorless review
of the affairs, foreign and domestic,
of the British Empire.
Her reference to the Armenian at
rocities is manifestation of woman
ly sympathy, but in the way of fore
casts of decisive action there is moth
ing save the statement that "the con-
ferences which the six ambassadors
have been instructed to hold are still
proceeding The futile result of
these conferences is already known
to Christendom
Of especial interest to Americans,
of course, are the portions of the
speech which discuss the Venezuelan
agreement and the general arbitra
ton treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. There can be no
doubt that the Queen is deeply gra
tilted as a monarch and as woman
by the econspicuous triumph of peace
in both these instances. Personally
throughout her long reign she has
at times when we have met little but
hostility from the professional states
men of her kingdom. Of all the
achievements of the year the arbitra-
ton treaty in which her Ministers
have Joined is by all odds the great
est. And Queen Victoria can say in
all sincerity, 81 hope this arrange
ment may have a further value in
commencing to other powers the con-
sideration of principle whereby the
danger of war may be notably abat-
ed."
The speech hints at "a further
advance" from Dongola into the Sou
dan. That this would follow as soon
as circumstances permit has been
taken for granted. British conquest
of this whole wild region would mean
much for the progress of the Dark
Continent. Sooner or later it's forcible
"pacification" by the strong arm of
the white man is inevitable. Journal.

The New York authorities are very
cheerful over the plague talk from
India They say that there is no pos
sible means for it's spreading to that
port, and even smile at the idea of its
getting into Hamburg. The latter city
is undoubtedly much better equipped
to keep out plague than it was to
prevent the spread of the cholera pes
thence of three years ago. But there
is such a thing as taking matters al
together too comfortably. Nothing
can be worse than such over conf
dence.

IVORY SET FREE IN LONDON.

The trial of Edward j. Ivory, the
alleged dynamite conspirator, which
began in London last Monday, sud-
denly came TO an end by the COM
piete collapse of the governments
case, and the discharge of the prison
er.
When Justice Hawkins took his
seat on the bench in the central Grim
inal court Sir r. B. Finlay, solicitor
general, who has been conducting
the prosecution addressed the court
saying that the prosecuting authori-
ties in the case had made the dis
covery that the explosives which
were found ir Antwerp we're purchas-
ed after the date of the alleged con-
spiracy as far as Ivory was concerned
therein there was no evidence to
show that he was concerned in the
purchase of the explosives. Therefore
he said that portion of the case could
not be sustained and it was not Gus
tomary to proceed with the trial after
the principal charges had been with
drawn.
Justice Hawkins concurred in the
remarks of the solicitor general and
directed the jury to find verdict of
not guilty which was done. The Judge
continuing his remarks commended
the police for their able and impartial
conduct in connection with the case,
and the prisoner, having been formal
iy discharged, left the dock free
man.
In discharging Ivory Justice Haw-
kins said to him: keep no more
doubtful company. 1t might bring
you into grave trouble. Look to your
future.'
The sudden collapse of the gov
ernment's case created a sensation
among the spectators.
The general drift of comment upon
the collapse of the case is that the
whole thing was police stake"

The Nicaragua canal bill has been
under discussion in the Senate of late.
This bill provides for the issue of
500, 900, 900 of Maratime Canal Com
pany stock, of which the Secretary of
the Treasury, in behalf of the United
States, is to subscribe SIC, ,0O0, 900, and
the company is to issue bonds up to
500, 900, 900, to be guaranteed by the
United States. 1t is argued by the

1t is said France is anxious to ne

to it.

seven votes in the Republican caucus

The House has taken very prompt
measures with the recommendation
made by Comptroller Eckles that bet
ter banking facilities should be pro-
vided for the smaller towns, and as a
result bill has been passed in that
body authorizing the organization of
national banks in towns of 400 inhab-
itants to be started with capital of
$40, 900 instead of $50, 900 which is the
minimum under the present law. If
this bill should become law it would
help business in some of the smaller
towns where they lack banking ac-
commodations.

The exact amount appropriated by
England last year to carry on it's
navy was $1O9, 115, 200. This includes
the construction of five new battle
ships of $1,000 tons each, four first
class, three second-class aud six
third class cruisers, and twenty eight
torpedo-boat destroyers. In addi-
tion to this expenditure no less thar
$40, 200, 900 was voted for defensive
works, dockyard extensions and
naval barracks, at home and abroad,
to be completed in the course of the
next ten years. Here is an appro-
priation in single year of over $179,
100000 to maintain the opinion that
Britannia rules the wave, and no one
will deny that she does if spending
money IS the criterion.

There seems to be variety of opin-'
ions in the Senate in regard to the
new arbitration treaty recently sign
ed between this country and England.
Many objections are heard to King
Oscar of Sweden as the final arbitra-
tor, also many appear to think that
it would bring questions, which would
be covered by the Monroe Doctrine,
up for settlement by arbitration and
that in time something would come
up which England would claim that
this thing did not cover and would
want to arbitrate on the Monroe doc
trine itself, a thing which this gov
ernment could not allow. The treaty
is certainly step in the right di-
rection and it is to be hoped that
compromise may be made which
will be satisfactory to both powers.
