Secretary Wilson to Make Our Ex-
 hjbit at Paris Profitable.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Among the many novel features which Secretary Wilson proposes to have in connection with the American agricultural ex- hibit at the Paris exposition will be batteries or ovens, ranges in continual operation for the education of the peo- pie of the old world in the uses to which we put the varied cereal produc tions of the soil. The output of these bakeries will be distributed gratis to the hungry and curious who will have an opportunity in this way to sample American products. Europeans will at the same time have a chance to taste better butter than they ever before put in their mouths and they can find out what kind of Oleomargarine, corn, cane and beet syrups and fruit jellies we make in the United States. This plan will enable Secretary Wilson to intro duce into the old world markets many American food products which are en- tirely unknown to the people of Eu rope. He intends to make our invest fment at the exposition pay a thousand fold in the enlarged trade resulting di- irectly therefrom.
 If he can bring it about there will lalso be livestock show in connection with the American exhibit at the Paris exposition. It will not be part of the exposition proper, but will be at some point within easy distance of Paris. An agent in the department of agri- culture will accompany Commissioner General Peck to Paris, who starts two weeks hence, with the express purpose lof leasing suitable grounds near the city for a livestock show. When this has been done stock raisers will be off, cially notified and invited to take part in the exhibit.

THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.

The Nicaragua canal has advanced from a speculation to a necessity, and the next congress is going to provide the ways and means for it's speedy con- structiOn and operation. = Laredo Times.
 There is remarkable unity of sen timent in this country on the Near aguan canal question. That it will be built and owned by this government is only a question of time, and a limited time at that.-El Paso News.
 The Nicaraguan canal would convert the gulf of Mexico into second Med iterannean and it's control by the United States would make her the first nation on the earth in everything that goes to make nations great.-Waco Telephone
 The Nicaragua canal is one of the ne- cessities of our government, and we hope to see it built without delay. Since our expansion it will be worth millions of dollars to the United States. And we don't need any other countries to aid us in it's construction.-Italy Her aid.
 Did it ever occur to you that when the Nicaraguan canal is built-as it certainly will be-the whole Texas coast will be in easy reach of Asiatic trade, and the growth of cotton enter prises to supply Asiatlcs will follow just as sure as day follows night.-San Angelo Standard.
 The wisdom for declaring for the building of the Nicaraguan canal ap- peals distinctly to every Texan. This

We, of course, must retain coaling station there, but I do not think it likely we shall want more than Manila and it's harbor Cuba is another problem. I never was much of a Cuban and am not prepared to commit myself as to the policy we should pursue there. We propose to establish stable government in that island, but what constitutes a stable government has not yet ben defined think, however. Cuba will be in evolution and in about twenty years it will be so thoroughly Americanized that there will be no question as to what stable government means

HAD THE ONLY MOTIVE.
Why Mrs. Bofkin Was Arrested for
 the Murder Of Hrs. Cunning.

San Francisco. Aug. 24-The arrest of Mrs. D. M. Botkin at Stockton last night for the murder of Mrs. J. F. Cunning and Mrs. Joshua Dearpe, at Dover, Del. has been anticipated here for several days. All the circum stances so far developed point to her as the only wonan who could possibly have had any motive for causing the death of Mrs. Cunning. During the last year of MT. Cummings stay in San Francisco he vas on the most in innate terms with Mrs. Botkin. The fact that MT Dunning's announcement that he knew who caused the death ot his wife and had imparted his sus- picion to the Delaware authorities. was closely followed by the arrest of Mrs. Botkin at the request of the Del aware police, and would indicate that Mir Cunning has reason to suspect the woman now in custody. Mrs. BOtkin passed comfortable night in the Stockton jail and was brought to San Francisco, where she will be held to await the arrival of an officer from Delaware.
 DUNNING'S STATEMENT.
 Dover, Del, Aug. 24.-John F. Dun ming, whose wife and sister-in-law were poisoned by candy sent from San Francisco, has made a statement to the Associated Press. He says. "I have talked with the attorney-gen eral and other officials of Delaware, disclosing all the facts within my knowledge which could possibly lead to the detection of the person who committed the deed. From tie mo- ment I learned of the fiendish murder of my wife and sister-in-law. upon my arrival in New York from Porto Rico last Friday. my sole desire has been that the guilty should be brough. to justice. I have withheld nothing from the officers which could lead to the de- lection Of the criminal
 But for two reasons I must refuse to make any statements for publica- ton. First, because it might defeat the ends Of justice, and secondly. inno- cent persons might be involved. I will continue to maintain this course even at the risk of subjecting myself to un just criticism

..MINING SUPPLIES.
SPAIN LED TO THE MARK.
Ambassador Cambon Says the Pro-
 toCoI Will Be Lived Up To.

Washington, Aug 24.-The first chapter of the affair between the Unit ed States and Spain was closed when M. Jules Cambon, representing France, as next friend to Spain, signed the in- strument that makes for peace.
 The insiGe diplomatic history of the ten days which preceded that act will probably never be written, but if il were, Cambon would stand forth in as pre-eminently the right man in the right place to deal with a chagrined, defeated and vain-glorious nation, which neglected the Biblical advice to the effect that it is better to boast as one takes his armor off rather than as he puts it on
 Spain expected to easily outwit 'los inf1ernales Americanos" in this proto- col matter, and boasted of it a little too openly. The administration here managed it's part with a dignity and proprlety. added to firmness, that com mands today the outspoken commen- dation of Russia, Germany and Eng land. besides France.
 It was fortunate that M Cambon had absolute power-not from Spain, but France. Jules Cambon is the brother of the French ambassador at Constan- tinople. The two have spent half a lifetime dealing with oriental poten- tates. Jules Cambon was for twenty years governor general of Algiers. He knows the oriental character thorough ]y. He. in those twenty eventful years. twice escaped death by poison. once from the dagger and thrice from the bullet. He learned to look death in the face. His was the hand of steel in the velvet glove, and he was the bes. man in France to deal with a de- feated nation, which hoped in some way to recover what they could not hold by the sword
 Very early in the proceedings the American terms were made known by M. Delcasse, French minister of for elgn affairs, to Sagasta- To abruptly reject them he dared not So he turned to the always ready resource of the Spaniards with the Moorish black drop in his veins-he would temporize. But here he felt the iron hand in Cam bon's velvet glove Urged by Cambon. who knows his Spaniard well. Del

 Spain had all sorts of propositions she desired to interiect into the Ameri- can proposition. One was a clause about the Cuban bonded debt Another related to the losses Of Spanish citi- zens by reason of the insurgents. But Cambon saw through it all "The hon. or of France is pledged he said to the president, that Spain regards the American terms as she would a similar diplomatic incident with France. They shall be carried out in the spirit you have proposed them. if a French army corps marches tomorrow to the Pyre- nees frontier to maintain them"

Judge Taylor's speech last night
was dispsssionate and mastery re-
view of the political situation. He
started out by showing the necessity
for expansion not only in our territory
but In our facilities to secure foreign
trade. His story of the marvellous
growth of machinery and the displaee-
ment of labor by it was almost start
to the tariff question and that
was in connection with the tin
plate industry. He showed that
within four years, through the aid of
the Republican tariff law, the Ameri-
can Tin plate company at Elwood had
increased its working force from 600
to , 900 and had increased its average
price of wages. Meanwhile the wholesale
price of tin plate had been brought
down from s. to 81 80 per box. Thus
in this single instance l 400 additional
American workmen were supplied
with employment at good wages while
at the same time tie cost of tin to the
consumer was reduced one-half. There
was certainly no need Of citing any
other example TO show the advantages
of our present tariff law. Judge Tay-
lor reviewed the silver ques-
ton at some length and made
the fact so clear that a man Though q
fool could not err there in that no
parity between silver and gold could
possibly be maintained with free
coinage. He closed with fitting
reference to the contemplate effort by
the Democracy TO make party issue
ont of the suffering necessarily incident |
to the late war. and predicted that If |
would prove a boomerang to its in
ventors.
