AFTER THE CANAL.

Whispered That England Has Wish
For 1T.
WASHINGTON, December 3.-Con-
sui General Gudger, at Panama, has
made a report to the State Department
on the condition OF the Panama canal.
He says it is whispered that England is
doing all in her power to obtain con-
troll of the canal. France may not push
the work forward, but some other ma
ton or some other company will surely
do SO if those in charge forfeit their
rights.
The canal, when completed, will ex-
tend from Colon Oh the Atlantic to Pa
mama on the Pacific. "a miles. All
along the route are sheds full of new
and costly machinery. 1t is estimated
that the latter has cost $10O,0 900,
and that there has been expended on
the canal total of $275,OOO,OOO A
| conservative estimate is that the canal
is about one-third finished, but with
the remainder of the work can be COM
pleted for $3.50, 100000.
The report is that force adequate to
finish the project in from seven to 10
years will be put to work. During the
next 60 days a committee is to investi-
gate the progress of affairs, and an eff
/ -, L J..
continue operations. The canal is prac-
tically completed from Colon to Bajeo,
IA miles, but this is the least expensive
part. The great difficulty is in passing
the Calebria ridge The width of the
canal will be 16O feet at the top and Y
feet at the bottom, except through the
ridge, where it will be 78 feet wide at
the top and 20 feet at the bottom.

p" MOTHERo MCKINLEY LOW.

She Is Gradually But Slowly Growing
Weaker.
CANTON, CO.,, December 8.-All day
the children of Mrs Nancy Allison Nc
Kinley were near her bedside. There
was no ray of light on the face which
betokened returning consciousness.
She has been lying as if asleep most of
the time. She is gradually but surely
growing weaker. Abner Mckinley says
the family are hoping against hope that
she may rally, but her condition during
the day has been such that the watch
ers think the end is gradually drawing
near.
Charles r. Miller, who has been al
most constantly at the house, said that
he had not previously noted such con-
tinued weakness as was noted during
the day. This was also accompanied
by higher temperature and he could
scarcely hope that the patient would
live through the night. He further said
the others of the relatives felt fully as
apprehensive.
The President is almost constantly
at the bedside, refusing to be relieved
by others and to take the rest and ex-
ercise he should.
During the evening Mother Mckinley
aroused from her palsied sleep. She
lay quietly and restfully on her bed,
the President at her side, watching in
tently and hopeful for some sign of re-
cognition. The awakening, however,
was not accompanied by any appreci-
able rally

A BRIToN TALKS TO CANADIANS

Edward Blake OF the English Commons
Speaks at a Banquet.
TORONTO, (Ont.), December s.
Lord Aberdeen, Governor General Of
Canada, was banqueted tonight at the
National Club. The speech of the ev-
ening was delivered by Edward Blake,
a member of the British House of Com
mons. Mr.. Blake replied to the toast
of Canada and the Empire" He
spoke of the advantages of cultivating
imperial trade. Concerning Canada's
relations with the United States, he ur-
ged that the true interests of both
countries would be best served by
largely extended trade relations.
I'VE must be either friends or foes, !"
he said, land it is in the interests Of
Canada and the Empire that we should
be friends"
On the question Of defense, admitting
the horrible supposition of war be-
tween England and the United States,
he pointed out that it would be for
England mainly a naval war, while
Canada would have to stand the brunt
Of the attack, and, looking at the re-
sources of the United States, he feared
Canadian valor would not prevent a
hostile military occupation.

MUST PAY EXTRA DUTY.

Discrimination Against Belaium's SUI
CARS.
WASHINGTON, December 2.-The
Secretary of the Treasury today decid
ed that the Netherlands Government
pays a bounty on all raw and refined
sugars exported from that country and
hence, under the new tariff act, all SUI
CARS from the Netherlands entering the
United States are subject to discrim-
mating duty equal to the export bounty
paid.
The exact rate of this countervailing
duty has not yet been definitely ascer-
tanned, but it is said that it will approx
innate 4S cents per 100 pounds on raw
sugar and slight advance on those fig
ures on refined. 1t is known that the
Secretary has also come to the c0nclu-
sion that the Belgian Government pays
an export bounty on sugar, and de-
cree to this effect may be expected in a
short time. The additional duties will
apply from September 22d last.
The amount of raw sugar imported
from the Netherlands during the last
year was over SS,OOO,O0O pounds, OF
which 25, 500, 900 were not above No. 16
Dutch standard, and 62,700,0O0 above
that number. The sugar imports from
Belgium during the last year aggre-
gated over 1913 ,OOO, 900 pounds, of which
nearly 121, 100000 was below No. 16.

Political Discussion at Hyattsville
Ends In Personal Encounter.
Feeling has been running high in and
around Hyattsville, during the past few
days, between those who favor the nomina-
ton of Capt. C. G. Gordon to the state SEN
ate and the adherents of Sidney E. Mudd,
who wish to down Capt. Gordon. Yester-
day afternoon. about o'clock a personal
encounter took place between members of
the combatants having his head badly cut.
John Bowles, colored, a Mudd man, met
Hector e. Dufour, a follower of Gordon,
near the post Office and began to talk poll
tics. Dufour refused to talk, and told
Bowles that he did not wish to have any
trouble with him. Bowles then applied
some opprobrious epithet to Dufour. They
were standing In front of George Tises
grocery store. upon the porch of which a
variety of garden tools was displayed. Du
four seized what is known in farming par
lance as potato digger. and struck Bowles
a powerful blow on the head. Serious
trouble might have ensued but for the in
reference of several citizens.
Dufour was arrested and taken before
Justice Carr. The tria! attracted a large
crowd. composed mostly of members of the
two factions. Dufour was charged with as
sault with intent to kill, and after hearing
the testimony of a number of witnesses.
was then arrested upon the charge of SIM
pie assault, and the hearing was set for
Friday.
Justice Carr Is severely censured by MEM
bers Of the Mudd faction for having dis
missed the case.
