wagon ard the fOrty-hOrse team and went
down to Buckingham palace and had ali
kinds of trouble on the way with the
police, but we got there just the same.
The thing which opened the Britishers'
eyes perhaps more than anything was
the way we moved the big tents around

in a town forty miles away the same as
we do here in the states
Speaking of the English circuses, Cole
man said: There is only one show in
England, and that is run by Lord George
Sanger. and is a very primitive affair,
although the acts are frst-class as far
as they go. When we came out with our
forty-horse bandwagon Sanger advertised
the longest team on earth, which con-
sisted of forty Shetland ponies kitched up
two abreast. The fellow who did the
driving act simply held a pair of lines
while half dozen men herded the ponies.
Among the freaks perhaps Susannah. the
educated chimpanzee, made the biggest
hit; among the tricks she was taught was
that Of passing around the money box for
pennies. Fred made about SIS a week
on the side through teaching her that
trick. and all went well until one day she
threw the money box at him and spoiled

Washington. Feb. 17.-Chairman Hep

submitted the report of the committee
in favor Of the Hepburn bill for con-

There seems to be but little doubt
that the states Of Nicaragua and Costa

construction Of this great work. 1t will
traverse either the border or the inter
Tor OF Nicaragua for a distance Of
about 100 miles

Eva Orators have been tried, but they
were found TO be too expensive and

prunes in California, which fetch from

"One gentleman has said that in his
judgment, not more than 800. 900 tons
would pass through the canal annu-
ally. Another has said that II coo, 900
tons would pass through the canal. Cen
tlemen connected with the Maritime
Canal company gave it as their Opin-
ion that five or six millions of ton
mage would be the amount that would
pass though the canal annually. OF
course we have the right to assume
that whatever the amount be, it would
be an increasing amount from year to
year.
At present S1.55 per ton is the toll
charged for the use of the Suez canal.
If thar rate was the rate charged at
the Nicaragua canal ard 10000 600 be
the tonnage passage through it, an az
gregate sum Of more than ST, 900 900
would be the receipts.
1t is estimated that the cost af
maintaining and operating the canal
would be 81, 900, 900 annually. If the
United States borrowed the money to
invest in the enterprise this sum would
pay the annual interest. the cost of
maintaining and operating and leave
a surplus Of more than 81. OO0, 900. And
with the increasing tonnage we mirht
reasonably hope for such accumula-
tons of surplus that would in a few
years fully reimburse the government
for its outlay.
