satisfy. Should Spain file a statement
of liabilities and assets at this time, she
could not include the island of Cuba in
the list of property available for the
purpose of sale, for the reason that the
island has been lost through the action
and result of a war, or fire. Looking at
the matter from any point of view it is
somewhat difficult to see where the Eu-
ropean creditors have any claim on
either the United States or Cuba.
The sum and substance of the Cuban
bonds issued by Spain in the past is that
the purchasers have been victimized by
a bankrupt and as the security no long
er exists, the only recourse left the
creditor is to bring action against the
principal, and stand the subsequent
loss as they would be compelled to in
any other business transaction. Of
course France, Germany and other
countries holding Spanish bonds will
endeavor to run a bluff on Uncle Sam
and if it can be ''made to stick the
creditors will be just that much better
off, but if it fails there will be no trouble
over the matter.

WEDDING GOWN,

wedding gowns, but it Is better that the
fastening should be under the arm or at
n side of the front than at the back, as
it is in the last case too conspicuous. The
collar should not be so high as to impede
the movement of the head, as that causes
awkwardness, but it should be sufficiently
trimmed so that the neck is not visible
between the hair and the collar. The
handkerchief, however beautiful, ought
not to be kept in evidence. As to the
skirt, the train Is Of course long, and at
the sides and front the skirt also drags
slightly upon the floor, that the feet may
not be in sight.
The picture shows a wedding gown of
ivory crepe de chine over ivory satin. The
trained skirt is composed of a round tablier
and a circular %flounoe, three bands Of
shirred MORE ribbon being carried around
just above the fiounce and designing a
Louis XIV knot at the side, where q clus.
ter of orange flowers is also placed. The
pointed bodice is also trimmed with shir-
red ribbon, which forms a bow on the
bosom and between the shoulders behind.
The sleeves arc trimmed to match, and the
guimpe Is Of plated mousseline de sole.
The c~orselet Of mousseline de sole has long
sash ends at the back, terminating in three
ruffles. JUDO CHoLLET.

feet. Tiny terriers are adorned with jew
els, which in cold weather are arranged
on the back of the little %ovcrcoats Of gray
or beige cloth with fur trimmings. Grey
hounds, which were once SO great favor
ties, are no longer the mode, large watch
dogs being preferred-Danes, %collies, st.
Bernards, etc. Hunting dogs always carry
the regulation collar of leather, with a
metal plate. Among the last mentioned
class of animals cocker spaniels and fox
terriers enjoy great popularity.
Today's illustration shows a pretty
gown of chamois wolfe, tho skirt having
a deep, pointed tablier, upon which a cir
cular skirt is mounted. The trimming
consists of bias bands of plaid taffeta. The
close bodice has a short, square basque at
the back and a point in front and buttons
at the side of the waist with silver buttons.
Plaid revers open over a pink silk chemi-
settle, and plaid bands trim the bodice and
sleeves. The little wrap which matches
this gown is of the wolfe, having a pointed
yoke trimmed with plaid bands and a
plating of black lace around the edge Of
the ruffle. The collar, coquilles and cravat
are of black lace. With this costume is
worn a hat of white straw adorned with
pink roses. JUDO CHoLLET.

The Spanish Debt.

An eastern publication, in speaking of
the terms of peace that have been Of
fered to Spain, in reference to the Span
ish bonds which are secured by Cuban
revenues, says: "These bonds are held
in various European countries, but
mainly in France, and the holders and
their governments regard them as a
mortgage on Cuba and will be likely to
intervene as creditors in q bankruptcy
case. The settlement will not be with
Spain alone"
The writer of that sentence seems to
be somewhat ignorant of the circum-
stances. The United States is not set
tling SPANS troubles and debts, but
those of Cuba. As a dependency Cuba
could not contract any debts, or if any
person, corporation or government
granted the dependent credit, the cred
itor will occupy the anne position as the
creditor Of a minor whose parent or
guardian had not given permission for
the extension of credit. The bonds held
by the European money lenders, which
have been issued by Spain, were secured
by Cuba so long as Cuba was its
piece of property, but having lost the
island in much the same manner as
chattel property, that is given as Sc
curity, is often destroyed by fire, there
is no security to fall back on.
In regard to the reference to a suit in
bankruptcy, the new law of the United
States provides that a bankrupt can
file, in any court of Jurisdiction, a state.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, is an
American citizen, but he seems to
imagine that the little commonwealth in
which he resides is the whole of the
country. In an address made before
the Massachusetts, Club at Marblehead
the other day he said: ''Itis impossible,
with our eyes on this constantly chang
ing kaleidoscope, to predict with GER
tainty how we are to solve the difficult
problems that are coming upon us at the
end of the war with Spain. But of this
you may be sure, that the vote of every
person who now has legislative respon-
sibility in either house of congress by
the choice of the Republicans of Mas
sachusctts, or is likely to have such re-
sponsibility hereafter, will be cast in
accordance with the opinion of Massa-
chusetts. Her opinions on such ques-
tions are the fruit of nearly 800 years of
a great and honorable history"

The Great American Canal.

The annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands and the acquisition of territory in
the Ladrones and Philippines have made
necessary the construction of a canal
across the isthmus between North and
South America. For years past the pro-
iect of sailing across that narrow neck
of land instead of making the trip
around the Horn has been the dream of
engineers and ship owners, and mil
lions of money and thousands of lives
have been wasted in vain attempts to
conquer the many difficulties presented
by the topography of the country and
the climate. The Panama scandals came
near wrecking a Republican form of
government in France, sent prominent
men to jail and exiled others, but for
all these efforts and troubles and sor-
rows ships still sail thousands of miles
out of their way in order to pass from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The greatest obstacle to be overcome
is the expense of the enterprise. En-.
gineers have decided that the construc-
ton of a canal is feasible and possible
at several different points across the
isthmus, but to dig a ditch through the
land in face of the deadly climate re-
quires more capital than men OF affairs
have been willing to risk. Then, every
time the subject has been brought W
in congress as a government project, the
possibilities of foreign complications
| have acted as an effectual block.
However, the time appears to have
arrived when the canal must be con
structed, and the only way for that con
struction to be accomplished is for the
government of the United States t(
take hold of the enterprise and carry il
to a successful ending. There is nc
longer any danger of foreign interior.
ence, the war with Spain has settled
that point, and the absolute necessity

the islands of the Pacific by the eastern
part of the country will act as an in
centive heretofore unknown. 1t will
cost vast sums. of money to construct
and properly equip the canal, but the
tolls which can and will be collected
from passing vessels will make of the
outlay a paying investment. Extension
of territory and power brings a CORE
spending increase in national expenses,
but the money invested in the canal will
not be lost, nor spent in such a manner
that it will bring no returns. The
canal subject is receiving a great deal OF
attention in the commercial centers of
the country, and about n of the first
things congress will be asked to do
when it convenes in December next will
be to provide for the survey and con-
struction Of a ship canal across the
Isthmus of Panama or Nicaragua.

ment of a considerable amount of
additional material for his exhibit.
One of the new features are four boxes
of very rich gold ore from the Cochiti
district, the Klondike of New Mexico.
This ore is rich, and the district that it
represents is now in process of rapid
development. Recently SO carloads of
machinery were shipped to a single
mine, and Commissioner Lesson is
confident that the Cochiti camp will
become II of the greatest producers of
gold in the southwest.
The fruit raisers of New Mexico are
at the exposition. A carload of the
famous mission grapes from the Mesilla
and Rio Grande valleys and Las Cruces
Is in prospect for free distribution, and
this will be accompanied by a large
shipment of native wines, which will
also be given away to exposition visitors.
The Santa Fe Horticultural society will
send quantities of apples, pears, peaches,
and late apricots. The cream of the
exhibits from the territorial fair will
also be shipped to Omaha for exhibition
at the exposition.
An interesting addition to the exhibit
will be specimens of eight varieties of
the cacti. These will be divided between
the agricultural and the mineral exhibit.
Another feature that will be installed
early next week Is o table constructed
of agatized wood, and trimmed with
agates, which represents a financial
investment Of over $4,000. This is the
property of the Woman's Board of
Trade of Santa Fe, and 1t was n Of the
