An order to that effect was filed with the Clerk of the Court on Thursday. A stipulation was also filed, signed by Judge Aims worth, attorney for the canal company and Judge Kibbey, attorney for the people, agreeing to continue the case until the October term.

A'All men are created free and equal ]" may truthfully refer to the cost of pro duction and condition when first ap- pearance is made on the mundane sphere, but after growing to manhood some are slaves to bad habits, others slages to wealth and fortune; few are free and independent. Equality with mankind sounds well; yet it is difficult to convince the pauper that he is enjoying equal rights and privileges with the millionaire. All are on equal footing when they come into the world; they are again equal 80 far as worldly goods are concerned, when they die. Equality sounds well yet it is difficult to convince a defeated candi- date he has an equal chance with the successful one. Equal rights should, by the government, be accorded to all, special privileges to none. Then success Or failure depends solely upon effort, ability, good luck and good management Enterprise.

purposes. The main one was to ascertain

particularly San Francisco, will have in
supplying the region around the mouth Of
the Amoor river, including Vladivostock
and also Port Arthur, with all sorts of
river craft, deep sea going vessels. ship
building material, railroad material, etc.
Mr.. Scott spent part of his time in ST. Pc

ufacturing center of Russia, and made a
thorough investigation of the situation.
He said:
Il found that vast and progressive re-
gion, which is beginning to be known as
East Russia, along the Pacific, and for
which San Francisco is the nearest point
Of supply, rapidly developing, and 1 also
found that the Russian manufacturers are
alive to this fact, and that Russian local
industry Is remarkably progressive. I
was everywhere received splend!dly In
Russia and found no prejudice against
America or American manufacturers But
I did find strong tendency on the part of
the Russians to manufacture their own
supplies and a vigorous encouragement
on the part of the present Russian govern
ment to aid in this respect. However,
Americans will have as good a chance as
anybody In supplying Russia with those
manufactures and supplies which they
cannot supply themselves as well and as
cheaply Russia will build her own ships,
as far as they can and will purchase be-
sides vessels ready made from other ma
