WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regnlar correspondent.l

WAsHlyeroy, April 3.-Tbe events oil
the past week, in connection with oui
foreign relations, have been calculated ia
create a feeling Of satisfaction in admin
istration circles. Aguinaldo has been
driven out Of his so-cslled capital and his
army broken UP into scattered bodies
which must hereafter fight as guerillas II
at all, and II is confidently expected thai
Aguinaldo will save his carcass by getting
out Of American jurisdiction at the first
opportunity, if he has not already done So
About the middle Of the week there was
much uneasiness because Of the news that
American and English warships had hred
on some Of the natives of Samoa, who
were apparently supported by the German
officials there, lest the mix-up should lead
to trouble with Germany; but instead oil
trouble, it seems likely that it will lead TO
a satisfactory Strengthening out OF the
whole kinky Samoan business, MS repre-
sentatiyes Of Germany, Great Britain and
the L. s., the three parties to the treaty
under which Samoa has been governed
for some years, have agreed to the ap-
poinfment of a Joint High Commission,
authorized to make a new arrangement
for the government of the Samoan islands
that will be permanent, and il 10 hoped,
satisfactory.
A new indication Of the existence OF
real brotherly feeling between Americans
and Englishmen was given by the sugges-
ton. made in the Committee that is ar
the parades which are to be a
Of the big Peace jubilee, to be
held in Washington May 1926. that a
special British feature be provided for in
he parade Of the Twenty fourth, which
will be the anniversary Of Queen Vic
oria's birthday, in honor of that day.
The suggestion was received with enthus-
and immediate steps to carry it into
were taken by appointing a sub
Committee to confer with Sir Julian
'auncefote, the British Ambassador, for
he purpose Of securing his cooperation.
BY the way, this Peace Jubilee is going to
e quite a spectacular event, and it will
e held when Washington is at its best,
rom the sightseeing point of view.

When one considers that commercial
uses would support the canal and
that the existence OF the passage
would ave us several million dollars
a year in Il naval bills, il is plain
enough that the plea Of economy as
the reason for killing the Nicaragua
Canal bill is not entitled to serious
respect. The argument that the bill
itself was Objectionable in some Of its
features and that the Government
needs more time to perfect prelimin-
airy plans is, of course, an argument
of a different sort; and if urged with

The Canal, the Navy, and the
Finances.

The pretense of the gentlemen who
dominated the action of the House of
Representatives in defeating the Me
aragua Canal bill was that they stood
as the great champions of economy,
and that the United States, on account
of the war, was just now spending
too much money to build a canal.
This argument will not bear close
analysis. The United States would
hardly be expected to build the Mic
aragua Canal out of current revenues,
but by the sale of bonds, which it
would probably market at % per
cent. The annual interest charge on
100000, 600 of bonds wou d be
$2,500,000. There is some reason to
believe that the tolls that could be
collected from the use of the canal for
commercial purposes would pay oper-
ating expenses and the interest on
the bonds. Further than that, how
ever, it must be remembered that we
are now spending in round figures
$50,OOO,O 600 a year for the mainten-
ance aud growth of our navy. The
Nicaragua Canal, even if it were boy
cotted by commerce and used exclu-
sively as a convenience for the United
States navy, would be a measure of
actual monetary economy. With
such a canal built, the Gulf of Mexico
would obviously be u great naval
rendezvous, and the ability to send
vessels quickly from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and vice versa through Q
canal would add so much to the
efficiency Of our navy that we could
accomplish given results with a much

The May Conference.

The indications are that the con
ference of Democrats who favor a
change IN the mode Of electing senat
ors, "and until that result is accom-
plished the selection of party senator.
ial candidates by some popular
method" will be largely attended.
The gathering is expected to be of
gentlemen favorable to the movement
in question without regard to person
al preferences for individual aspir-
ants or candidates. Such is our
reading of the call, and that we are
correct in orr view will be seen from
the only paragraph in the call deal
in3 with this subject, and which is
as follows:
"TO such Democrats as hold to
the principle that the people are
fully capable of choosing their senat-
ors, and who are willing to unite with
us in an effort to secure to them that
cherished right, the invitation is
hereby extended to assemble in the
city Of Richmond on Thursday, the
1lth day Of May, 1899, for the pur-
pose Of adopting such measures as
may be deemed best to promote the
election Of senators of the United
States by the direct vote of the
people, and, until that result is ac-
complished, the selection of party
senatorial candidates by some popular
method"
SO it appears that the invitation is
open "to such Democrats" as are
to unite with the signers Gin
effort to secure the right of elect
ing senator's" by direct vote Of the
and, until that result is ac-
complished, the selection of party
senatorial candidates by some popu-
lar method.
Thus all Democrats who are of the
that the objects stated are
of furtherance, are invited to
assemble here on May llth, to confer
With the signers of the address and
holding the same views.
In short, any Democrat who in
rood faith intends to further this
movement, is entitled to admission tc
he conference.
The Blackstone Courier, in its last
ssue, has this to say editorially: ,
at will be noted that a general
invitation is extended in the call to

A CALL has been made by repre-.
sentative Democrats from all over
Virginia looking towards perfecting
a plan for selecting United States
senators directly by the people.
Whatever may have been the wisdom
of this plan in the early history Of
our country, recent events have shown
that the present plan has been
brought into disrepute, and that it
has done more to digrace representa-
tive government than anything that
has occurred in our history. We
heartily commend the movement, and
believe that there is no division of
sentiment among our people, -Marion
