NICARAGUA CANAL REPORT.
Chairman Walker Hopes to Have it Ready to Submit to the President
 In a Short Time.

| Washington, March 21.-Chairman
 Walker of the Nicaragua Canal Com
 mission, expects to submit his final re-
 port to the President this month All
 the preliminary work has been com
 pleted and experts are tabulating it. Attention will be directed by the new commission to the Panama route to determine the legal and diplomatic questions relative to franchises of in dividuals and corporations and the best means of acquiring them. It has not been determined if these questions rest with the commission or whether the engineering work will be left in the hands of experts and the other ques- tions referred to the state department and attorney general.
 While the disposition in congress was to view the Panama canal with distrust, it is believed the President will give careful consideration Of the question.
 The Panama people say they can complete the canal with private funds but are willing to dicker with the gov ernment if they are assured one hun dred millions for the completion of the work They claim that one hundred and fifty millions have been expended in the work in addition to one hun dred and twenty millions wasted under De Lesseps' management. The general sentiment in congress favored the Gallery or Hepburn amendment for the United States government to own and operate any canal it may con- struct

A BICYCLE COMBINE.

New York, March 21.-A. G. Spalding
 is credited with being the moving
 spirit in a proposed bicycle scheme
 With him are associated A. A. Pope and R. Philip Gormully of the Cor
 mully & Jeffery Manufacturing com pany of Chicago.
 Attempts to form a bicycle combine have been made in part, but all have been futile because the small maEu- lecturers could not be eliminated.
 With the coming of the chainless bicycle, however, the situation was altered. While the transmission of power by means of shaft and gearing is not a novelty. the adaptation of it to the use of the bicycle, involving the construction of the complicated ma chinery necessary to turn out the gears, is said to have cost the com pany five years of labor and an ex- penditure of more than $300,000. A company was formed in New Jersey and license to manufacture bevel- geared bicycles under it's patents were granted to some of the largest con- cerns in the trade. It is upon the foundation afforded by these licensed concerns that the new organization is to be founded. All the companies ll- censed have agreed not to cut prices under penalty of forfeiture of license and the payment of a cash penalty said to be s 900.
 When this had been agreed to, A G. Spalding set sail for Europe. At the time it was said he went for his health. In the course of MT. Spalding's search for health abroad, it is said he ob- tained in France the control of the Acetayne patents, which are consider ed to be the foundation of the beveled- geared wheel, the French having used this form of power transmission several years before it was tried elsewhere. In England the cross roller geared pat ents were obtained. No change in the bicycle business for the present year is contemplated, but next year each man ufacturer's product will be marketed the middlemen's profit being elimi- hated
 That all this has been carefully planned is shown by the recent organ ization of a S5.0OOO0O bicycle saddle company by A. L. Garford, former president of the National Cycle Board of Trade
 To this is to be added the steel tube combination and the wood rim organi- zatin. Aside from the beveied geared wheel. there are two chainless bicy- cleS manufactured. each of which IS de- clared by it's maker to be the equal of those which will be controlled by the organization. Terms have already been offered to the independent con- cerns, which will probably be ac- cepted.

RAPID RECRUITING.
The Ranks of the Army Will be Filled Up to 65,000 Men Within
 Thirty Days.

Washington, March 21.-It was an nounced at the war department today that the work of recruiting the army up to the full force of 65,0OO men al lowed by law would be finished within thirty days. Recruiting stations have been established wherever good results were probable, and no difficulty has been found in filling the ranks. This is particularly true of regiments des- tined for the Philippines, that station being the choice of majority of the new men.
 A good proportion of the recruits are from the volunteer regiments already out of service, and the recruiting off cers stationed at points where the vol unteers were mustered out have been unusually busy. The re-iplistment of

ESCAPED IN A SHOE CASE.
An Indiana Life Convict's Novel Plan to Get Beyond Prison
 Walls.

Michigan City, Ind, March 21-John Ferrister, life prisoner, escaped from the state penitentiary yesterday after noon. Some Of his fellow prisoners in the shipping department boxed him up in a shoe case. The box was placed on the delivery wagon and carted to the depot.

HUSBANDS FOR ALL HIS GIRLS.

"The number of male infants born yearly exceeds that of female by one to four per cent, the proportion vary ing slightly from year to year." writes Professor D. R. McAnnaIy of The American Girls Chances of Marriage y in the March Ladies Home Journal
 'The mishaps of boyhood, however, re- duce the number of boys to some eX- tent, but not so much as ito make the adult females Outnumber the males. For every American woman. therefore. there ought to be q husband in posse if not in esse, and the fact that there is a large percentage Cf unmarried adult women in the country, and a greater proportionate number in some sections than in others, is attributable to causes which have disturbed the bal ance of population. In all new cOun- tries-and compared with Europe the United States is a new cOuntry-there is a larger proportion of males than females. The aggregate population of the United States so far as the latest official figures. show, is 62,622, ,250, of which 32067,8S0 are males and 30,554,- 370 are females. Thus the preponder- ance of males over females would seem to make it comp paratively easy for the American girl to secure a husband. put Tn certain sections this IS eVIueHI- ly net the case, else the proportion ot adult unmarried women would not be so large. If men would remain in the neighborhoods where they were born the proportion of men and women would be nearly equal all over the country, but men find work hard to get in the older and more populous communities, and go to the newer states. The young women are left be- hind, and the young men, after settling in their new homes, forget the compan- ions of thein youth, and contract al dances among their new friends in the west, hence some of the eastern states show a surplus of females

 Indian office officials are inclined to admit that the Indians have a just grievance They say the Indians have an undoubted right to hunt on their old lands in Colorado, and that prom ises of reimbursement for the lands, which have not been filled have prob ably led to the present disturbances.

GoMEz's BOOM FOR PRESIDENT
The Old General Declares That He Will Not Decline the Office
 if Offered Him.

New York, March 21.-A dispatch to the New York Tribune from Havana says: "Wednesday nights popular demonstration in honor of General Gomez seems to have been turned by the anti-assembly leaders into some thing of a presidential boom for the grand old man" of Cuban politics. Most of the speakers insisted on pro- claiming the deposed general in chief the sole guarantor of insular inde- pendence and the inevitable head Of the still uniformed Cuban republic. In reply to these highly f1attering assur- ances General Gomez, cautiously, but still suggestive, declared that he could not think of accepting the presidential title unless it were bestowed on him by the unanimous vote of the Cuban people.

 It is the purpose of the Indian office to send an agent to Utah in a short time. Erastus R. Harper, recently ap- pointed allotting agent, will be the man. He is from Canton, O., and a personal friend of the President. He was a member of the Ute commission,

BUREAU OF AMERICANREP1TBL1cs
General Russell Hastings, Joe Smiths Successor, to Assume Charge
 as Director April 1

Washington, March 21-It is an nouncd that General Russell Hastings of New York, who was selected for di- rector of the bureau of American re- publics some time ago, will take charge the 1st of April, relieving Frederick Emory, who has been acting director since the death of Joseph F. Smith General Hastings is an Ohio man and great friend of President Mckinley. having served in the same regiment with the president during the civil war. General Hastings has been spending the winter in Bermuda, recovering from an accident he sustained whiIeat- tending the inauguration ceremonies.
 MT. Emory, the acting director, was a protege of eX-Secretary Bayard, and has always been a rabid free trader While occupying a position in the state department under Bayard he wrote letters favoring free trade and singing the praise of CleveIand's policy to the newspapers. It has always been a wonder why he was ever given charge of the bureau of American re- publics, or kept in the state department when he should have gone out with Cleveland and the other free traders.
