MUST HAVE a CANAL.
Consul Goodnow Says We Must Build
Nicaragua Waterway.

Minneapolis, Aug 15.-John Goodnow,
consul general at Shanghai, China, in a
private letter discusses the expansion
policy as follows:
"We should hold the Philippine is
lands, the Caroline islands and the La
drone islands, also Cuba and Porto Rico.
Tt does not matter whether we call them
war indemnity or what. We need them
in our business. You have no idea and
cannot have until you get out here. how
all nations are fighting for trade and
what an intense jealousy there is of the
United States. just now the continen-
tai peoples seem more jealous of us than
even of England.
If we are to have anything to say. we
must have navy. To have navy we
must have coaling stations. That means
pines. To handle our navy economical
~ and effectively we must build the
Nicaraguan canal and and in my opinion
we should buy strip of land across
Nicaragua to build our canal in our own
territory. Look on the mapfasowing the
routes of full-power steam vessels and
you will see that every trade route to the
Isthmus passes Cuba and Porto Rico and
strong country controlling those two
makes the canal at the isthmus private
waterway whenever it wants to. Also
Cuba controls the Gulf of Mexico and
the water routes to the mouth of the
Mississippi. 1t is big program but
think we have got to do it. England
controls absolutely one route to the east,
by the Mediterranean and Suez canal.
Let us control the other route by the
Nicaragua canal and the Anglo-Alliance
rules the world. Not continental ma
ton would dare oppose us for we could
starve them out. We are the people If
we take our opportunities as they come

The trouble lies in the fact that too few
Women enjoy perfect health and strength
OF the special womanly organism. A wom-
an who is not well and strong locally can
not ENJOY good general health. DR.. Pierce's
FayoTite Prescription cures all weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
organs concerned in wifehood and mother
hood. It's the most perfect and scientific
remedy ever devised for the peculiar all
ments OF women. 1t restores wo1nanly
power, strength and virility. It tones and
builds up the nerves which have been shat
tered by suffering and disease. 1t corrects
all Irregularities and arrangements and
stops exhausting drains. 1t restores weak,
nervous inyalids to perfect health. 1t is
intended for this one class of disorders and
is good for no other. 1t is the discovery of
Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief con-
su1ting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y. No
other known medicine can take its place.
II have been troubled with female weakness
that my physician called catarrii of the womb"
writes Miss Team Conner, of Catfish Clarion Co.
Pa. :" I doctored for it and did not get better.

Prescription got better right along and when
I had taken four bottles was cured. l recon-
1nended the Favorite Prescription to a friend
of mine. She has been using 1t and thinks it
is wonderful
Constipation is little illness that if
neglected builds big one. DR.. Pieree's

MIR. Reed told them at Alfred that we

so much. He says, too. that
there can be no revenue without imports.

his admission, I can agree with him in
his declaration that there is no campaign

Corbin before the Secretary arrived and
then entered the Secretary's room and a
discussion proceeded at considerable
length, devoted mainly to conditions in

pose of discussing the administration of

known to him and he will tender his ad-
vices as his residence in Cuba enables
him to give it.

to be one of the Cuban military com
mission and replied that he did not

BIG NAVAL REVIEW.

noon. .Ms ga4sEe
-Four battleships and y two armored
CT users of the fleet which rendered such
noble service off the coast of Cuba, Gull
minating in the destruction Of Cervera's
fleet of Spanish warships, are expected
to arrive at the Metropolis by the end Of
the week and in response to popular
demand the naval authorities are dis
posed to have them pass in review
through the harbor and up the North
River as far as Grants tomb at River
side Park.
II present plans are carried out the
vessels will fire salute at that point
and turn down the river to their an
chorage in the bay. 1t was first proposed
that the officers and men attached to the
fleet should march in parade through
the principal streets of New York city
in order that they might give them well
come worthy Of their efforts in behalf Of
their country, but suggestion to this
effect was not favorably reoei we'd at the
department where it was not thought,
in view of the severe hardships these men
have undergone, that they should be SUBJ
jected to the fatigue of a long march so
soon after their arrival in New York.
The plan of having naval parade met
with more favor and probably will be
adopted.
Acting Secretary Allen Is somewhat
enthusiastic over the idea and unless
some good reasons are offered to the
contrary, he will issue the necessary or
ders at once. In case the naval parade
is determined upon it will be particle
pated in by the flagship New York and
her larger sister ship, the Brooklyn, and
the four big battleships, Iowa, Oregon,
Massachusetts and Indiana. The Texas
may also take part.
