"Oh, nothing" responded the boy in

how it IS, papa; you were a little boy

This appeal failed to move the senator's
heart, and a silence followed that lasted
am hour or more. During this time the
father read and the son thought. At
length he said:
Papa"
Eyes, my son."
Suppose I was to meet a highwayman

Eyes, my son."
"And suppose he should pull out a pistol
and say: Little boy! Your money or

Ten minutes later the senator's son was
whistling to his. chum outside his chum's
window, with a new silver half-dollar in
his pocket.

THE MAGIC NINE.

"A curious coincidence" says a writer
in Leslie's Weekly, sis noted in the fact
that nearly all the great mining discov-
cries Of recent times have been made in
years ending with the magic figure nine.
Thus the famous gold find in California
fell in the year 1S49. Ten years later, in
1859. remarkable discoveries of the same
metal were made simultaneously in Aus
tralia and British Columbia, causing a
great rush of fortune hunters to these
points. In 1869 the famous COmstock lode
find became known to the world; i'm 1879
the gold bearing region around Leadville
and Tombstone, Ariz., began to attract
attention. M in 1889 the diggings at
Glover Creek and in Lowe California
became the objective points Of great null
titudes Of excited II anxious seek rs
after sudden wealth. And low again. at
the end Of another decade hi story repeats
gtseif once more. The rem arkable gold
finds recently made at Cape Nome. sur
passing IN richness and exits nt anything
yet discovered in the Yukon district, bid
fair to mafs the year 1899 as no.able as
any in the annals OF gold mining"

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Serious
consideration will be given Wednesday
to the Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty by
the committee on foreign relations, and
later in the day by a republican caucus.
These discussions will doubtless have ar
important bearing ON the fate Of the
treaty, but final action is not expected
for some weeks. The republican caucus
will only decide as to the time when the
treaty shall be taken up for consideration
in connection with the legislative pro-
gramme, which is to be mapped out by
a new steering committee to be appointed

At the meeting Of the foreign relations
committee Senator Morgan will present
the report of the subcommittee appoint
ed to inquire into the effect of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty on the canal on the
changes made in the new treaty by the
old n In this report Senator Morgan
will take the ground that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty has never ben abrogated.
He starts out with the statement that the
United States pleaded for the Clayton
Bulwer treaty at the close of the Mexican
war for the benefit Of California. At
that time It was feared that an inter-
oceanic canal would pass into other
hands than the United States. It was
declared to be the object Of the United
States to make a great neutral waterway
for the worlds commerce.
After the treaty had beer ratified Mr..
Morgan's report will show Great Britain
tried twice to have it a~brogated, but this
government refused. Concerning the eff
feet of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty on the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty the report will
show that Great Britain is now commit

Ounced as absurd the statement pte.
Gently published that the treaty we me-
gotiated with Nicaragua in 1867 had the
effect of abrogating the Clayton ulwer
treaty. Equally absurd, they declare, is
the statement that the Nicaraguan treaty
authorized Notifications which the Hay
PauncefOte treaty now denies. " 70
THE treaty with Nicaragua gave the
United States the right to employ the
requisite military force for the protec-
ton and guarantee of the neutrality of
the canal.
