If TIE United States Minister at
Madrid had been guilty Of writing a dis
respectful and slurring letter about the
Queen Regent there is no doubt that
President Mckinley would have in
structed the Secretary of State to say to
the Spanish Minister that this govern.
mcnt disavowed the offensive express
sions, regretted their uttcrance, and held
the highest opinion Of his sovereign.
Secretary of State Forsyth wrote to the
American representative in Mexico in
1896 that Gle United States will frankly
and prompt y2disavow' indccorous Ian
guage used in variance with their in
structiuns by its diplomatic agents to the
Governments to which they are accrpd-
tied. We should disavow them also il
used Of those Governments That
would be Uncle Sans rule Of conduct.
Spain may have different rule. 1t is a
matter that concerns her more than it
concerns the United States and it is
sure that the point is not worth pressing
upon her by this government. The
United States are not required to inform
her that she fails in courtesy and to de-
mand that she repair the fault. It is not
vital matter.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Is Given to the Nicaragua Canal Con-
cession by the Courts.

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 22.-The
contention of the American company
regarding its canal concession of the
government of Nicaragua is sustained
A commission of the supreme court
consisting of Judge Bonnillee, ex-Su-
preme Judges Auguillar and Soliya, and
Pedro Gonzales, a lawyer, met here on
September 19 by order of the president
to give an opinion on the question on
what date does the concession to con-
struct a canal across the Nicaragua ex-
pire?
The concession ratified by the Nicara
guam congress April 20 1887. was granted
by the Nicaraguan government to the
maritime Canal company of Nicara agua
chartered by the United States govern
ment.
The commissioners were asked to keep
their decision secret from everyone but
President Ze1aya and the cabinet min
listers but it has leaked out. The com
missioners decided that the contract
expires October 90 1899.
This accords with an official act of
October g. 1889, declaring that the ten
years within which the company bound
itself to complete the canal, (the Car
as-MenOcal concessiOn), began Oc-
tober 20, 1899. That act was signed and
agreed to officially by the Nicaraguan
minister of public works, in the pres
ence of Mr.. Miner, the contents being
attested by official seals.

TOTHENEXT FESTIVAL

Mr. Edward Wilder treasurer OF lhe
Santa Fe railway, is enthusiastically IN
favor of the State Journals idea IN reI-
erence to next years Fail Festival
That is. to bring the cattlemen and ag-
ricuItural societies here. He said to-
day:
1T seems to me that to carry out the
plans outlined in the Journal article
would be greatly beneficial to this city
and would call into active participation
people from all parts of the state IN
stead of bringing the people Of the state
here simply as spectators, we would
make IT. possible for them to participate
with US. This is something that hasn' t
been done in our Fall Festivals IN the
past with the exception OF the santa re
celebration. BY interesting the people
of all localities in the Topeka festivities
we would insure an immense attendance
and there would be no question as to
success. I am heartily in favor Of the
idea and would Ike to see it carried
out
The Journal would like to call atten-
tion to the fact that the cattlemen are
men of means and would be sure to
make their exhibition a magnificent one.
Besides, it is safe to say that each OF
them would spend from SIS to $500 in the
city.
The Journal is strongly in favor of
the proposed street fair also, as a
part Of the Festival With several
original professions, and a continuous
exposition in progress, our visitors
would be entertained to the limit E,v-
cry time that $4,000 people visit Topeka
at least 1000 Of them come back here to
live at the earliest opportunity. It
pays. and il pays to be generous. even
prodigal in these annual festivities.
