I have read with pleasure Judge Nc
Sherry's tribute to Frederick county and
it's heroes. But Judge McSherry omits
from his roll Of fame some Maryland men
who will rank with Schley or other Hol-
land williams in our history. There were
heroes besides Agamemnon. Admiral
Franklin Buchanan n Admiral Ra-
phael Semmes, I'm their day, made as
glorious a mark in the history Of war as
any two Americans that ever lived.
Their reputation is the common heritage
Of Marylanders. and will be cherished by
future generations as the types Of chiVal-
~ and genius. The soldiers of the Mary
land Line hold them TO our hearts as we
do those Of Henley and Henry Cole.

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL,
Rear Admiral Walker, Chairman of
the Commission, Back.

Rear Admiral John G. Walker, chairman
CT the isthmian canal commission, has re-
turned to the city. and was at his desk
this morning. On August last the adj
Iiiral. with his colleagues. Messrs. Ernst
..2orrison. Burr. Noble and Haynes, went
to Paris to examine the records of the
Panama Canal Company there with a
view to obtaining data to aid in the pros
ecution of their investigations on the
ground. The officials of the French COM
pany rendered the American commission
ers every possible assistance and present
ed the advantages of the Panama route
with great care and ability. 1t is under
stood. however, that while the information
obtained will be of great service to the
likely to change their views on the relative
merits of the several routes under consid-
Grafton. From Paris the commissioners
went to kiel, in Germany. and examined
that canal from end to end. including its
locks. gates. methods of applying power
etc From there the party went to Ham
burg, where they examined it's famous har-
Dor. Thence they went to Amsterdam, and
examined the North sea canal, and thence
to Manchester, and finally to Liverpool
where they investigated that city's famous
system of docks and gates. The entire
commission will meet here in few days
when the time at which they will go south
Will likely be determined. 1t is not prob
able. however. that the commission will be
ready to sail before late in November. In
the meantime an exploring party will be
sent to Panama and another to Greytown

BRITISH AMBASSADORS RETURN.
His Departure From England Has
Been Postponed.


Been Postponed.
Lord Paul cefote, the British ambassador,
had been expected to return to Washington
on October 81. but his plans have now been
changed so as to take passage on the
Oceanic November l. reaching here Novem-
her I, and the departure may be postponed
even beyond that time He takes MS seat
in the house of lords on the reasSembling
of parliament, and as the Transvaal affair
Is Likely to bring about meeting in abou;
two weeks the. delay is probably due in
part to desire to take his among the
peers. He also has in hand the results of
The Hague conference. The Alaska bound
airy negotiations have proceeded so far
hat Lord Pauncefote and Ambassador
Choate have had no recent occasion to dis
cuss them
The British embassy was re-established
here today after having been located at
Newport throughout the summer. This
ion permits the resumption of personal
exchanges on the Alaskan boundary ques-
ficn. and during the day Mr.. Tower. the
British charge d'affaires. had talk with
Secretary Hay in relation to the matter.
The opinion is expressed by those officials
most familiar with the question that the
nodus vivendi recently arranged between
Mr. Hay and Mr.. Tower will be acceptable
70 all parties concerned. Canada included
although the final word has not yet been
communicated from London. This how
aver, relates to the temporary boundary,
and still leaves open the question of how
he permanent boundary shall be delimi-
mated. The negotiations at present seem
tending toward securing some understand
ing on this permanent condition.
