served great deal more credit for the
construction of Camp Wikoff than for his
work at La Guasimas. He did not think
that the reports about the sad conditions
at Montauk had any foundation. He
knew as matter of fact, that newspa-

The Nicaraguan Canal project is made
more complicated by the PROPOSE
tion that the American Government
purchase the French interests In
the Panama Canal. stated G. d, Jenks.
OF Plainfield, y. j.. at the Riggs. The
American people have always favored the
Nicaraguan route and the new proposition
will only serve to divert attention from
the real project. The Government has
shown some recognition of the wishes Of
the people in the matter of the Nicara-
guam project. and has made costly sur
veys of routes and appointed canal com
mission. Things have advanced to such
stage that everyone expects Congress to
authorize the construction OF an inter
oceanic waterway. Just as Congress is
on the point of meeting We hear of the
French project |, for one, don't favor 1t.
The Panama affair stands recorded as one
of the greatest financial scandals OF
modern history. it cost the French Re
public nearly s15e,GG0.Gj0 and almost as
much more will be needed to complete it,

HEARD IN THE LOBBIES.

"The Cape Cod cranberry season is at
its climax" said {" A. Hinkel. native
Of the Bay State.i at the National last
evening He recently spens some time in
the cranberry region. and tells many in
teresting tales of the gathering season
and the manner in which the little red
berries are harvested. Doubtless few of
the people living III the South know just
how cranberries grow, however much
they appreciate their qualities on
Thanksgiving occasions. The cranberry
thrives in its wild state in the lowlands
and in vast stretches of natural bog
land. These bogs must first be cultivated
tho growth of cranberiies. One of the
things most needful for a good cranberry
pond or bog is a good system of flooding,
SO that the roots of the plants, extending
downward through the tangled vegeta-
ton, may always touch the water Some
of the bogs are well watered naturally: :
others have to be irrigated by means of
large bitches. The bushes which bear
the marsh chranberry are low and thin
covered with "a stiff kind of leaf, and bear
berries abundantly. Picking is hard on
the hands, so IL has become the custom to
wear gloves. The fingers first cut
from the gloves and the hands are COW
cred with a coating of wax. The yield
this year is said to be enormous, and the
great wonder is that so many thousands
of barrels of the berries can be raised in
such strange ground But 1t is the only
kind in which they will flourish"

''The recent trouble between the Ameri-

said II. C. Ford, of Minneapolis at the
Metropolitan last evening, was the first
serious encounter between the two in
many years. The Immediate cause of the
trouble was the attempt of deputy
United States marshal TO arrest the chief
of the Pillagers. Many grievances are
behind the whole affair, due chiefly to
the efforts of the whites to extort timber
lands from the Indians. The saddest fea-
ture of the outbreak was the death of
Major Melville C. Wilkinson. a veteran
