THE NTCARAGUAN CANAL.

Lyman E. Cooley, the eminent en-
giner, estimates that the Nicaragua
Canal can be dug for much less than
has been estimated. He says that i'm
provement of machinery for canal
work has revOlutionized construction
in that direction. Estimates of the
cost Of canal excavation ten years ago
have no value now. AS an illustra-
ton of the changes that have come
about Mr.. Cooley refers to what is
being done at Sabine Pass. There a
dozen men under Christie & Low, the
contractors, are doing work that
would have required 1000 men a doz-
en- years ago. He says that since the
introduction of the new methods in
the drainage canal fully 80 per cent of
excavation work is done by machin-
cry. Rock work on the drainage ca
nal was originally estimated to cost
s1.6O cubic yard; it cost actually
76cts yard.
The cheapening of all excavation
ahrough the new process, in the opin-
ton of Mr.. Cooley, puts an entirely
new phase on the Nicaragua Canal
project. The Chicago drainage canal
has cost about $50, 100000. Of the
amount, $4,000, 900 was required for
right of way. That is an item that
would have no place in the cost of the
Nicaragua Canal. The excavation of
the drainage canal cost $22, 200, 900.
Mr.. Cooley thinks that all of the ex
cavation for the Nicaragua Canal
could be done for $45, 900, 900. The
survey of the Nicaragua Canal crosses
t the lowest point between Alaska
and Patagonia. Lake Nicaragua, 100
miles long and sixty miles wide and
over 100 feet deep, lies between the
oceans. and will constitute part of the
route. The cost of the canal has been
put at 800, 900, 900, but Mr.. Cooley js
sure that with the drainage canal
processes, the cost can be reduced to
two thirds of that estimate or less.

OUR TURKISH CLAIMS BAN PERED.

It is understood in diplomatic cir
cles here that our Government is
somewhat embarrassed in givin Min
lister Angel further instructions what
to do in Turkey, by the precedent es-
taolished in the case of the Chinese
killed by rioters at Rock Springs,
Wyoming in 1885. The ground then
taken by our Government was SINH
lar to that now assumed by the Porte,
namely, that the Government was
not responsible for the acts of rioters.
Congress did afterwards appropriate
sum of mony as indemnity, but did
it with the express understanding
that it was simply a bounty rather
than the recognition Of legal cl aim.
The Porte seems to be fully acquaint-
ed with the point we then raised, and
is disposed to insist upon it now to
our disadvantage. Our Government
makes the distinction that in the case
of the missionaries who were injured
by Turks the p orte's own soldiers
bore share in the wrongdoing. But
UnlS Is question OF 1aCC, on Wn1cn
our witnesses and the Turkish with ess
es disagree,
Secretary Bayard's attitude on the
anti Chinese riot at Rock Spri ngs
was expressly founded up on an earlier
case handled by Secretary Evarts
concerning some outrages upon Chi
nese immigrants in Colorado. But
Mr.. Evarts himself did not lain orig
inality for his attitude, falling back
upon the precedent of 1851, the case
of the mob assault upon the Spanish
consulate in New Orleans in VEN
geance for the killing Of several
American filiousters. Daniel Webster
was the secretary of tate who settled
that affair, and Congress then, as in
the Rock Springs ase and the later
case of the ITALIAN prisoners in New
Orleans, expressly specified it's pur-
pose of being benevolent rather than
standing upon our national rights in
the premises.

ALL SOUTH AMERICAN MARKETS
WITHIN OUR REACH.

Senior Jose Antonio de Aranjo E.
Vasconcellos, Brazilian lawyer and
economist of high reputation, is in
New York on hi way to Washington
to confer with President Mckinley on
the question Of benefiting the trade
relations between his country and the
United States. For the last nine years
he has devoted his time to the study
of how the United States and Brazil
can be brought into closer CONNER
cial relations. Senior Vasconcellos's
motto is ssAmerica for the Ameri
cans" He wants commercial rela
tions to be established between this
country and Brazil in such a manner
as to give the United States the privi
lege of exporting her products to the
exclusion of European rivals.
The Brazilian economist will go to
Washington in few days to present
his views to this Government. He
has been in consultation with business
firms here who export goods to Brazil
for the purpose of going to the capt.
tai fully prepared to support his ar
guments. The Brazilian Government
has reposed great confidence in Sen
OR Vasconcellos, and all the big
merchants Of Brazil have combined
in the effort to foster closer trade re-
lations with this country. Senior
Vasconcellos is their sponsor. They
have formed an association, of which
he is the superintendent. "The sug-
gestions that will make to the Unit
ed States" said the Senior, twill be
embodied in long statement which [
shall send to President Mckinley as
soon as the translation is made. [ am
My desire is that the United States,
to which we are devoted in our affec-
tions, shall supply Brazil, as we'll as
other countries in South America,
with her products to the exclusion of
all other countries. Brazil is re-
public. Our destiny is wrapped up
in that of the United States. The
American continent should be bound
together in the strongest manner pos
sible. If the United States and Brazil
will meet on a commercial basis SINH
lar to that which propose, [ sincere
ly believe that this country will cap
ture all the South American trade.
''England now exports more prod
ucts to Brazil than does this country.
I deplore this fact. My aim is to have
the United States export all the prod
ucts for Brazil simply because |
know the greatness Of this country
and [ appreciate it's wonderful desti-
ny. If the American continent is
ever to be supreme in the worlds his
tory, it depends upon the United
States.
IT am confident that if the United
States and Brazil join hands, at the
end of five years the manufacturers
and producers Of this country will
export to our republic S200,o00,00
worth of products"

Minister Wa Ting Fang, the diplo

Minister Wa Ting Fang, the diplo
matte representative of China in this
country, expressed the belief recently
that the reported occupancy of Port
Arthur by Russian squadron would
prove to be but temporary conven-
fence to the czar's fleet granted by
the Pekin Government. He said the
Russian squadron in Asiatic waters
was granted permission last year to
winter at Kiao Chou, and the Russian
ships remained there during the win
ter, but as soon as warm weather set
in thew resumed their man0uvres in
the Pacific Ocean. For the conven-
fence of the Russian officers the Chi
nese Government sent interpreters to
Kiao Chu and made every effort TO
make them comfortable. In view of
the German occupancy of Kiao Chu,
it was ossible to permit the Rus
sian ships to return to that port, and
the minister, therefore, believes that
the Russian admiral asked and receiv
ed permission to winter his ships at
Port Arthur.
The minister also stated that it was
his opinion that the Germans would
eventually withdraw from Kiao Chu.
So far as known in Washington, there
is no intention on the part Of the Chi
nese Government to seek the exercise
of the good offices of this Government
with view to securing the withdrawal
of Germany. Minister WI is extreme
ly anxious that American interests
shall be extended in China. The United
States, he says has no Interior motives
with reference to the empire. 1t does
not want Chinese territory, and the
development Of it's interests in the
Celestial kingdom Of its increase and
strengthen the concern Of this Gov
eminent in the welfare of it's Asiatic
friends.

RUSSIA'S RULER'S RiCRES.

The Emperor Paul, whose reign was
certainly not one of the most brilliant,
was nevertheless one of the greatest
benefactors of the dynasty. He not
only settled the order of succession
on a permanent basis, but also en-
dowed his posterity with he/material
means Of maintaining their position.
1t is claimed that no other reigning
family in Europe is so we'll provided
for. Paul [ set aside a vast amount
of landed property, under the name
Of the imperial appanages, for the
sole benefit of all grand dukes and
grand duchesses not in the direct line
of succession, while the sovereign and
the heir apparent, together with their
respective families, were to be sup
ported out Of the funds of the state
These appanages of the Russian i'm
perial family now cover the enormous
total area in different sections of Rus
STA of 2l,OO0,0 900 acres, an extent OF
land larger by 1900, 900 acres than the
whole of Scotland. This total in
cludes 15, 00O,OO0 acres of wood and for
est, producing yearly more than 5000
900 rubles. The total annual revenue
Of the imperial appanages now reach
es 10000, 900 rubles, or more than g.
O0O,O 900, and, with no fewer than As
members of the imperial family to
support, the expenditure at present
amounts to yearly average of over
5000, 900 rubles. In 1891 i5 was over
5000, 900. The appanages are quite
separate and distinct from extensive
private property, and from the crown
or state domains, administered by the
minister of agriculture, and they do
notcontribute toward the annual ex
penditure of the imperial court,
amounting, as far as can be ascer-
tanned to about FL 900, 900, nor toward
providing dowries for iup arial grand
duchesses. Before the emancipation
of the serfs the appanageS possessed
over 100000 peasants, who paid an
nually in land and poll taxes for the
benefit of the imperial family nearly
5000, 900 rubles and during SO years,
up to their liberation, altogether 49,
$1,000 roubles, or f12,500,000. The
department of imperial appanages
has since become the largest landed
proprietor, the largest agriculturist
and the largest wine producer in the
empire. It's industrial enterprises in
timber, sugar, cotton and other pro-
ducts are rapidly developing on a
proportionately large scale. During
a century of existence it has furnished
the collateral branches of the imperi-
al house with altogether 236, 900, 900
rubles, and as the imperial progeny
continues to increase large reserve
fund is employed in preparing to
meet their ever growing demands

Navy and military officers stationed
at Washington are displaying as much
interest in developments in the far
East as are the diplomatists whose
countries are directly concerned in
the matter. Major General Miles,
commanding the army, sees the ulti-
mate extension OF the influence of
European powers in South America.
General Miles only recently returned
from an inspection of the various
armies of Europe, and his statements
are we'll worthy of consideration. In
discussing the situation he said: "The
measures and policies being inaugu-
rated by at least three of the great
powers of the world at the present
time are more far reaching, more sig
nificant than any movement of a mil
itary character in the whole history
of the world. They effect the COM
merce of the world and the future
millions Of the human race more than
any event that has occurred. If
few of the great powers can dismem-

perior numbers to their own aggrand-
izement and in their own commercial
and political interest, will such action
not in the near future seriously effect
the welfare and especially the foreign
commerce of the United States. The
influence will likely be first felt by
our neighbors in South America.
