Pope Is convalescing.

Rome, March Am examina ton of
the pope's wound was made today by
DR.. Mazzoni. who found it was making
excellent progress. His holiness hopes
to recommence his receptions speedily.
The fact that DR.. Lapponi is again
sleeping at the vatican has aroused a
fresh crop of rumors, including one to
the effect that the pope is suffering
from a senile cancer, but his physician
unequivocally denies this, saying the
patient has a good appetite and is con-
yalescing rapidly.

Institutions to Be Established at
Manila and Honolulu.
New York, March 9.-Negotiations
have been pending for some weeks past
which have eliminated in definite ac-
ton toward the organization of cor
poration to transact Z. general banking
business at Manila. J. and w. Selig-
man q Co., of this city, are at the head
of the enterprise and the new bank will
be ready for business in a short time.
The Manila corporation will be prob-
ably known as the Anglo-American
bank. The plan, it is understood, has
the approval of the administration.
1t is also reported today that the An
glo- California Banking company of San
Francisco, in conjunction with bank
ers in this city, San Francisco and Lon
don, has arranged to start bank in
Honolulu. AS the United States bank
ing law cannot yet be applied to banks
in Hawaii. the bill to that effect having
failed of passage at the last session OF
congress, it is probable that the bank
will be organized under the Hawaiian
laws, which are understood to be lib
eral, although not permitting the issue
of bank notes. Under the laws of the
island the government absolutely con-
trolls the issue of ali notes.

BOOT AND SHOE TRUST.
Unsuccessful Efforts to Form a Great
National Combine.

New York, March "a special dis
patch from Boston to the Commercial
Advertiser says: The shoe and leather
men of this city and the shoe towns of
the state are greatly interested in a
proposition that has been made to form
a national boot and shoe trust 1t ap-
pears that the matter was broached to
manufacturers by Smith & Ryan of
Chicago. A small meeting was held,
but no action was taken. The meeting
adjourned with the idea that the trade
should be canvassed and the result be
reported at a later meeting. There
seems to be a decided difference of
opinion. The largest manufacturers
generally throw cold water on what
they call feeble attempts to form a
combination. The project for an upper
leather trust is being actively pushed.
The movement is already considered
success, although the promoters have
not gone quite far enough to make the
announcement of details.

Young Men in Politics.

There is an increasing tendency now
adays TO choose young men for public
Office. and a Seattle philosopher observes
that this tendency is a very good thing.
There is no section of the country better
fitted to speak with authority on this sub
ject than the far West; for young men have
played a prominent part in all depart
ments of life beyond the Mississippi, and
there are towns in the Western States, all
OF whose higher municipal officials are
under thirty. This state of things. of
course. comes from the peculiar nature of
the population. Many of these towns are
made up largely either of young men who
come West to make career, or the sons
of pioneers who helped TO make some
larger Western city. The son of Forty
miner, for example might easily move
northward to oregon or Idaho, or south
to Arizona, to repeat his fathers career on
somewhat less monumental scale
The old proyerb about old men for
council and young men for war does not
seem to hold in these new States and Terri
tories. But the fact is that in new town
the council and the war are likely 10 be
more or less mixed, and moreoves when
there are no old men To be had, what is
one TO do? That proverb was made for
old and long-settIed societies, where
diplomacy rather than decision, skill
rather than force. are'needed. Here and
there in a Western town another reason
is to be found for young mayors and
councilmen and boards of trade. 1t is
that the foreigners who settled these towns
came over little too late in life to learn
to be anything but good citizens, and their
sons have grown up, not Swedes. or Ger
mans. or Poles, but thorough Americans.

of running for Office.

Nimmo and the Canal.

Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, ir., is statistician
of some credit and renown, which would
be greater if he were not understood to
be retained for the purpose of hampering
a great American enterprise. Presumably
at the instance of the enemies of the
project, he. .rushes into prose to answer
the statement of Prof NJ. Lewis Haupt,
which was strictly confined to the argu-
ment that the antagonists of the canal
have dominated the situation thus far, and
are likely TO be successfully obstructive in
the future.
Mr.. Nimmo is too well coached to meet
such a proposition. He carefully and
properly ignores it, as one too obvious to
assail. But he feels Obliged to say some
thing, and, So issues an essay based on
alleged geographical grounds, in which he
attempts TO show that the routes from
Manila TO New York and from Manila
TO London will be longer by the proposed
American ditch than they are by the Suez
Canal. The proximate object of his pre-
sentation is shown in his contention that
the average distance by railroad from
san Francisco to points in the United
States east of the Rocky Mountains is
only one-third the distance to such points
via Nicaragua or Panama
Naturally, Mr.. Nimmo and his employers
consider this a conclusive argument 1t
would be more SO, as far as the American
public is concerned, were it not for a few
things which he is careful not to mention.
The British Government and commercial
classes, with both of which Mr. Nimmo is
believed TO be on excellent terms for this
kind of purpose, have notoriously opposed
the Nicaragua Canal project, for the sole
reason that its accomplishment would tend
to divert the course of Far Eastern COM
merce from the Suez Canal route to the
more direct line between Asia and the Pa
cific islands, and Europe, by way of the
isthmus. His figures may be correct for
the purposes of this argument, but they
certainly are not convincing enough to pre-
vent death struggle on the part of the
interests he is supposed to represent to
defeat the American canal.
We have had a series of reports from
engineers who stand at the head of their
profession. We are satisfied that the work
is feasible, and that it will pay. We are
convinced that if it did not promise the
commercial supremacy of the United
States, it would not be opposed. as it is,
by our greatest commercial rival. Mr..
Nimmo. in his statement, does not offer
one word in contradiction to what Prof.
Haupt AYERS. He only illustrates how
relentlessly certain railway interests are
antagonistic to the will and determination
of the American people.

1t is at best i clearly perfunctory exhibition

of weakness of the defence that outside the

An Impudcnt Request.

General Otis telegraphs that Heading natives
throughout the island, including insurgent lead
ers, seek permission 10 send their families to

whole Island of Luzon is not perfectly secure
place of residence is that the insurgents persist in
making war on the only power capable of main
tanning peace and order, their suggestion that
the United States should care for their families
is refrcshingly impudcut. Ii we were TO admit

reason why the leaders themselves should not

in this regard, they would be practically unlam-

auEsADA AS COMMISSIONER.
Senior FidoI !. Pierrn TnIks About
the Appointment.

senor Fidol d Pierra, a prominent Gu
ban, who is chairman of the committee OF
Cubans now in this city endeavoring to
obtain a modification of the order sus-
pending the payment of all Cuban obliga-
tons, stated in an interview last night
that the people of Cuba were not likely to
accept the appointment of Senior Gonzala
de Quesada, the Cuban Commissioner. very
amicably.
"Quesada is not a representative of the
| Cubans,' said he. He knows absolutely
! nothing about them, nor about the condi-
tions in the island. A politician from
| Texas or Nebraska would have made as
good commissioner and would have been
fully as representative of the Cuban peo-
pie. The appointee left Cuba when a boy
seven years of age and has only made one
flying trip into the island since leaving.
He has no interests in Cuba and no prop
erty. He formerly represented the Cuban
cigarmakers and may know something
about them, but one trade does not repre-
sent a people, and the knowledge of
trade does not qualify man TO deal with
such questions Of deep Importance as con-
cern Cuba.
Furthermore. Quesada knows nothing
about economics and especially about the
peculiar systems which bind the Cubans.
10 III even our law,
which is almost a reverse of that of
America, and his recommendations must
prove harmful to the Cuban people. A
man must fully understand the Latin sys-
TEN of Spanish law to do the Cubans JUS
tice. Being ignorant of this. as is Quesada,
he must almost reverse the actual mean
ing of affairs and would advise wrongly in
every case.
"A man who has lived aloof from them,
who has never mingled with them, studied
them, partaken of their food or exper-
fenced their laws, cannot be their commits
sioner save in name. We do not grudge
him the salary, but we want a representa-
tive to represent us. Quesada has his clan
and his clique, and they will receive the
full benefit of all recommendations on his
part. The appointment will cause a storm
in Havana and other cities. Personally, l
regard Quesada as bright, pushing fell
low, but he knows nothing about Cuba"
Senor Quesada stated yesterday that his
appointment as Cuban Commissioner came
as surprise. and that he was not aware
of his selection until he read the state
ment in the newspapers. He also stated
that he did not know what his duties would
consist of. and was waiting for instruc-
tons. When asked how the people OF Gu
ba would receive the news, he said: Il do
not know. l will read the comments to-
morrow
