This is the feature 'of ;the project
which should appeal to the patriot
ism Of the entire country. The COM
mercial side of the enterprise IS al
Turing, but that which appeals to The
pride Of every true American Is the
assurance that this great crowning
achievement Of tho Nineteenth centu-
ry ito be distinctiyely American.
The canal, when completed, though
nominally located IN foreign terri
tory, will virtually be a part of the
coast line Of the United States. Great
Britain defends haatillo to the con-
troll of the Snez canal by the claim
that It is the highway to India, and
there is no nation that disputes the
title. But the Nicaragua canal will
be not onl short route to the cen .
tral and South American republics,
which largely constitute our COM
mercIal dependencies, but also a di-
feet highway between our Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards. II England's s.
title to the control of the Suez canal
is tenable, then the United States TO
control of the Nicaragua canal IS i'm
pregnable.
During the hearing on this SUBJ
ject before the commerce committee

1t is certain that unless the Unitet

treaty of general arbitration between
Great Britain and the United States.
The Senators have shown a decided

rammed down their throats, and it is
now evident they will give it pro-
longed consideration. To the broad
principle Of arbitration. there seems
10 be no objection, but most of the

this treaty, and all agree that the

OF the senate seems TO be tat the
treaty makes no pretense of an ar

comes up for ratification. And
as Senator Chandler. remarked, it
will have a very roughJ passage
before it reaches vote. Besides
offending his party he has beyond
a doubt offended Russia, and
should the treaty be ratified we
will lose the friendship of that
country.
There are several democratic
Senator'S who are only waiting
for an opportunity to "pitchfork"
Mr.. Olney and the president for
their treatment of the senate in
the Cuban matter, and when this.
treaty is under consideration they
will without doubt proceed to
get in their fine work even at the
expense of the treaty. 1t is re-
ported that the president has un-
der consideration several plans
for further making himself un-
popular with his party but as yet
they are not sufficiently matured

sence of senator Wolcott, and on
January l8, he presented the bill
to the senate. In this connection
it is interesting to note that in
the last days of the fifty third
congress there was created a mon
etary conference commission
which was to have nine members,
three to be appointed by the
speaker. threo by the vice presi-
dent and three by the president.

All Give Advice Similar to That Sent
By Emperor Francis Joseph.

Constantinople. July 11.-Queen Vic
toria. Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the telegram
received by them from the sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to dis
associate himself from the views held
by the other powers.
Replies TO a circular of the Turkish
government to the powers relative TO
the frontier question have also been re-
ceived by the ambassadors They all
decline to admit the Turkish pre-
tensions.
The Porte has sent another circular
to the powers, proposing that. in view
of the disturbed conditions existing in
Crete, Turkey send reinforcements TO
the islands. To this the powers have
also replied. endeavoring to dissuade
the Porte from such a course.
This later proposal on the part of the
Turkish government is held TO indicate
that the sultan does not intend to yield
in regard to the frontier question.

LADY AND THE COCKTAIL.
Showing That You Can Never Tell
About Women.

There is a certain young man who
is just at present run mating over the
truism that you can never tell about
women, says the New York Tribune
He came to New York a few years ago
from a western city more noted for its
piety than anything Else, and has been
of late living at an uptown hotel
Oddly enough, the early piety instilled
in him was not lasting; he has slipped
from grace at divers times. and in a
certain way cultivated a taste for the
cup that cheers. There arrived at the
hotel recently a little party from his
home city. The party consisted of an
old gentleman, his wife and their
daughter. The old man was a friend
of the young mans father and the
young man had a slight acquaintance
With both father and daughter. The
elderly man asked the younger one to
dine with him in the evening and the
invitation was accepted.
When the dinner hour rolled around
the little party strolled into the dining
room. They found the room filled to
overlooking and it was impossible to
get four seats together. After some
delay it was arranged that the elderly
couple should sit at one table and the
young man and the dughter sit at
another. This man had acquired a
habit of prefacing a dinner with a
cocktail. He knew well the feeling of
his host on this subject, but he wanted
the cocktail badly. He knew the
waiter also, and calling him over told
him quitely to bring a cocktail in a
teacup. The waiter smiled knowingly
and went off. Shortly he returned
with a teacup, and the young man
alone knew that it contained a cheer
full mixture of whisky and bitters
The waiter was in his day and gen.
Grafton a wise man. He had seen this
particular man drink in the house
under all conditions. but never by
stealth. He set his gigantic brain to
work, and he evolved the idea that
the secrecy was for the benefit of the
girl, and so he set the cup down di-
rectly in front of her and smiled with
a self-satisfied smirk at the man. The
man glowered and choked. but could
say nothing. The girl looked SUSPECT
ously at the cup and then picked it up
and smeIled it. Then a great light
came into her face and she fairly
beamed. She raised the cup to her
lips, and pausing. smiled across at the
man and said, softly:
1T was go kind of you, Just what
| wanted. No one but you would have
thought of it, Positively, you are a
genius" And while the mellow liquid
flowed down the girls throat the man
sat and blinked and blinked. Now he
thinks that the younger generation of
that village is not so bad after all, and
he is talking Of making a long-post-
poned visit to his home.

A nONSTROUS PYTHON.
Caught in Sumatra and Brought to
New York.
Prom Pick-Me-Up.

New York.
In an animal store on South street,
coiled upon a big mattress, in a cage
10 feet long. is probably the largest
snake ever brought to this country
alive. 1t is a great Indian python, one
of the most formidable of the boa farm
lily, and a descendant of the serpent
slain by Apollo near Delpha, says the
New York Journal.
Two months ago this monster lay
dormant in one of the widest jungles
of Sumatra- He had just dropped from
the limb of a massive banyan tree,
wrapped his powerful length about the
body of a leaping antelope, and, crush
ing his prey until every bone was bro
ken, was in the act of swallowing the
animal whole as the first course of his
semi-annual meal. His huge jaws had
encircled the entire body of the animal
and only the spreading antlers re-
manned outside as an index of what had
occurred. The python was doing away
in a blissful state, waiting for the ant
lers to drop off so that he might thor
oughly digest the morsel and then take
a nap for some months.
While in this condition the great
snake was surprised by a band of ma
tives under the direction of George
Arstingstahl. an Englishman, whose
business is the capture of wild animals.
The serpent was uncoiled and tied at
full length to a long bamboo pole,
which was then lifted by the natives
and the burden borne to the port.

sail for America. And that is how this
terror of the jungle happens to be now

of digesting the antelope which he
caught in the wilds of Sumatra.
This python is 3S feet long and meas
ures 311s inches in diameter at the
thickest portion of his body. The cage
in which he is kept is of wood, wire
and glass. There is no particular neces-
sfty for strength, so long as the snake
