Subject of Discussion at Philadel-
phia Commercial Congress.
ISTHMIAN WATERWAYS CONSIDERED
Millions to Be Saved by Connect
ing Atlantic and Pacific.
MR.. CALVO'S REMARKS

PHILADELPHIA, October A.-Todays
session of the International Commercial
Congress was devoted to the discussion of
canals, and several valuable papers were
read on the subject of isthman water
ways. Consul General Monahan of Chin
metz, Germany, presided. Among those
who addressed the delegates were ]. B.
Calvo, minister to Costa Rica; Climaco
Calderon, minister to Colombia: Lewis 3.
Corea, minister to Nicaragua; H. A. Gud-
ger. U. S. consul to Panama; Enrique
Wulf. consul general to Bolivia; ]. W.
Humphreys of Colon; William Pember
Reeves of New Zealand; Sir Horace Tozer
of Queensland, and ]. B. johnson of Min
nesota. There was also an open discussion
on the isthmian canals by the delegates
from the United States and all other coun-
tries
Mr.. Monahan, In opening the session,
said that Germany has now vast system
of canals, and that her example had been
emulated by Russia.
Once the Nicaragua canal Is built" he
said, there can be no question but that
1t Will be a saving to the world equal to
four hundred million dollars a year. Sup
pose, then, 1t does cost two hundred mil
lion dollars. this seems to be a mere
bagatelle by comparison. The waters which
once divided the nations of the earth have
now become the golden links which unite
them, and the greatest possibility now open
to human ingenuity and enterprise is the
construction of such works as this great
Nicaragua waterway
Mr.. Caivo's Remarks.
Mr.. Calvo, minister to Costa Rica, was
then introduced and spoke of the position
of that country and her direct interest in
the uniting of the two great oceans by
means Of canal across the American 18th
mus.
The advantageous position of Costa RIGA
between Nicaragua and Panama, he said
insures its people all the benefits of prox-
unity as the nearest neighbor, whichever OF
the two places the route may ultimately
traverse. But" he continued, 1.-The Costa
Rican frontier does not reach the line of
the Panama canal, while a portion of our
territory is Indispensable to the Nicaragua
route. And this is not a new fact or one
established by recent surveys, but which is
well known since the very days of Vasco
Nunez de Balboa"
He then sketched the history of the 18TH
milan canal project from its inception to its
present status.
Costa Rica," he asserted, realizes the
great Importance of this work, the most
transcendental, perhaps, undertaken in this
age. and contributes to encourage it, con-
sulting her own interests and the impulse
to be derived from it by the general prog
ress Of the world, and especially of the ma
lions of the continent"

CUMBERLAND. Md. October 24.-The

Cochrane and Austin A. Wilson, candidate
for states attorney, being the speakers.
The democrats have arranged for fourteen

the more aggressive and enthusiastic. They
have commenced campaign just as If the
county was doubtful, but it is believed that
at least 1000 majority will be secured for
LOwndes.
David J. Lewis, law partner of Congress
man George a. Pearre and Bryan demo-
crat of considerable prominence, stirred up
great enthusiasm at Barton Saturday night
last by mentioning Bryans name. He dis
Regarded the attitude Of the leaders to keep
Bryan in the background. Many silver
democrats Will not support Isidor Rayner,
democratic nominee for attorney general,
because of his pronounced utteranceS for
gold in 1896. He will be cut at least 100 in
Cumberland.

1u0 are republicans.

TROUBLED BY THE SURPLUS.
Secretary Gage Talked to President
and Cabinet About 1t.

Secretary Gage talked to the President
and cabinet about a possible congestion of
currency in the treasury. This is a matter
of considerable moment, and If there is not
some change in the situation Secretary
Gage and the President must devise means
of putting the money into circulation. The
trouble now is that the daily receipts are
largely in excess of expenditures. Despite
interest prepayments and other unusual ex-
penditures the surplus for this month ag-
gregates nearly $2,OOO,OOO For the fiscal
year so far the surplus Is close to $4,000, 900.
and is growing right along. The army ex-
penses have been heavy, but these are
made up by exceptional receipts. Prosper
Gus times are bringing increased receipts
in customs and in the internal revenue. and
there Is no way of safely estimating what
the years revenues may be.
1t has been decided that a considerable
part of the surplus may be wiped out by
the heavy expenditures of the War Depart
ment The sending Of troops and their pay
will take a great deal of money. Exactly
what the monthly expenditures may be
cannot be estimated and will not be known
until the full army authorized by the Pres%
dent Ia in the field.

THE CASE OF "JoE THE TURK
If He Was Not Treated Harsh1y There
Seems to Be No Ground for Complaint

seems 10 ne NO SrOunu Tor Complaint
The State Department has taken notice
of the complaint OF the Salvation Army
people respecting the ejectment from Tur-
key of one Of the members Of that Organl-
zation known as Joe the Turk" otherwise
Joseph Garabed. There is nothing in the
statement of the case so far however, that
warrants the belief that our consular Of
icers have been at fault. An inquiry has
been instituted to ascertain all the facts
and to see whether there is anything ex-
ceptional in Garabed's case: but IL the facts
are as stated 1t is the present opinion that
protest will be unavaiiing.
During the Armenian troubles our State
department was for some time involved in
negotiations with the Turkish government
for the purpose of protecting in their rights
ArmenianS who had become naturaliZed
citizens of the United States and returned
to Turkey. The Turkish government is one
of several European governments that alb
soiutely refuses to recognize the right of a
turkish citizen to eXpatriate himself, and
these returned Arrnenians were I'm many
cases subjected to very harsh treatment,
including Imprisonment and compulsory
military service. The result of our repre-
sensations was that, as A mark of amity,
the Turkish government agreed TO limit its
action in the case of these returned Arme-
mans to expulsion from Turkey. Having
aff1rmed the principle of the right of ma
ton to expel objectionable persons or class
es or persons In our own Chinese legisla-
ton, as well as In the Immigration laws,
the United States government was pre-
GUIDED from denying this right to the Turk
ish government. Therefore, If Garabed was
expelled without harsh treatment and with
only such Imprisonment as was necessary
to prevent his escape into the interior II
will be difficult to establish claim on that
score against the Turkish government.

COMPLAINT FILED.
Charge That Isaac Henderson Was
Badly Treated by Police.

Mr.. A. Waters of 1041 jefferson street
has filed complaint with the District Com
missioners, charging the officers of the sew
enth police precinct with badly treating his
son, Isaac Henderson, the 10th instant. The
Commissioners have referred the complaint
to the chief of police for investigation and
report. Mr.. Waters charges that his son
was taken. after being injured from fall
ing from a porch, first to a hospital and
then to the seventh precinct station house.
AT the station house, so Mr.. Waters
claims, his son was placed on the floor Of a
cell without medical attendance, and the
officers refused to allow him to see the
boy for several hours. At length, SO he
states, they allowed him to see him, and
then removed the boy to the Emergency
Hospital. Mr.. Waters claims that his boy
was thrown from porch at 32d and Grace
streets by girl. one Ella Wracks. The
young man died in the hospital this morn
ing, as stated elsewhere in The Star.

Postpaid mail matter addressed to the
various pension agents of the country will
not be delivered without collecting the adj
ditional postage due, according to post
office department ruling made today. Here
tofore pension agents have been required to
pay short postage from their contingent
expenses, most of the mail with this de-
ficiency coming from pension attorneys who
bunch their cases in forwarding for the
regular payments and affix only a nominal
postage, leaving the government to either
furnish the rest or waive the requirement.
A proviso of act of July >. 1854, allows
such mail with deficient postage TO be de-
hvered without further collection of post
age to the executive departments and the
Interior Department recently requested the
same concession for the agencies. The
postal authorities, however, hold 'eXecu-
tive department." means only those at
