Interest in the Nicaragua canal project
has been suddenly heightened by the ne
sotiaxions of a treaty with Great Britain
abrogating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of
1850 insofar as it provided that no exclu-
slVe control would ever be exercised by
the United States or Great Britain over
any canal at the isthmus connecting the
waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The abrogating treaty is generally consid-
cred as removing the last serious obstacle
to the realization of the canal project
which in the last two years has come to
be accepted as great political and COM
nercial necessity.

ragua canal is now before both branches

a few phrases from that reported by Mr.

NO NEW MOON THIS MONTH.

IFrom the London Globe1
A very rare astronomical feature be-
longs to February, 1900: it Will have no
new moon Per contra. January had two
and March will have two. This peculiar
incident is due to the fact that the last
year of the century is not reckoned as
leap year. and that even in ordinary leap
years the moon is new in February as in
other months, except at long intervals
A moonless month has not occurred since

Likes Colorado.

JoHH SIoWley, latner OF MIS-. L.
+. Hively, of this city, arrived
from Chicago about two months
ago. He has been a resident of
Chicago for about torty-two years,
and in an interview gave us his
impressions of Colorado as follows:
al like the country very well,
and like the people better than
the country. | am here where i
can see people passing by in COW
cred wagons every half an hour,
going to Colorado Springs for the
good OF their health. Since |
came here | have not seen a rat,
nor five minutes OF rain, which is
something remarkable for an old
timer in Chicago.
The first job got here was
keeping house for family that
went to Glenwood Springs for the
summer. One windy night just
before going to bed l was looking
for some matches and found some
money. had some money my
self, and shortly afterward, hear
ing noise on the outside, l sus-
picioned that burglars were about,
the same as in Chicago. | was
greatly alarmed and waited for a
long time for further developments,
but nobody showed up.
With c. A. Reynolds | went
fifty miles from here to cattle
ranch. The ranch was twelve
miles long and six miles wide. We
stopped there two nights. There
were 1000 bead of horses on the
ranch. A man visited the ranch
while we were there and bought
two car loads Of the horses, pick
ing them from the bunch at $40
per head. We went from there to
ranch where Mr.. Reynolds has
$1,000 head of the finest kind OF
cattle. Pixies Peak, seventy miles
away, was in plain sight. Mr..
Reynolds has 5000 acres of alfal-
ia on the place where he lives,
and has already cut four crops.
81 visited Jack Crowley's fam
Gus Fairview Orchard, where he
has 100 acres Of fruit, and never
saw anything to equal it in my
life. | also visited the Rocky
Ford fair and on the second day
feasted on the big pile of melons.
At the races were some of the best
horses ever saw.
"The people in Chicago think
the people out here are green, but
l find that whole lot of them
could give US pointers on a good
many things. notice that every
thing out here is sold by the pound,
but l think that nearly everything
is as cheap as it is in Chicago.
The sun seems to be hotter, but
you don't seem to have many cases
of sun stroke, and if you drive a
horse FIVE miles you would think
he had just come out of the stable
mot drop Of sweat on him.
81 am sorry to leave Colorado,
but am going to Oregon to visit
son that ! haven't seen in twenty
years. ! don't believe l would 60
back to Chicago at all if it wasn't
for wife and grandchildren"

WOOD ON THE SITUATION
SAYS CUBANS ARE SATISFIED WITH
THE PROGRESS MADE.
Important Modification of the Mar.
riage Law-Brftish Consul in Cuba
COmmends American Work.

HAVANA, July Ex-Governor General
Wood has definitely decided to leave for
the United States on Saturday next. He
says he desires to consult President McKin-
ley with regard to certain matters connect
ed with Cuba. The governor general adds
that the island is in as prosperous condi-
ton as it can possibly be until definite
future of some kind has been settled upon,
and that the United States government has
gone in the direction of giving the Cubans
self-government as fast as possible under
the conditions found. He is satisfied. from
assurances received from various parts of
the island, given not only by the highest
officials, but by men of wealth and infiu-
ence who do not desire office, that great
majority of the Cubans are satisfied with
what has been done toward keeping the
promises made to the Cuban people.
Governor General Wood considers the
proposed constitutional convention as one
of the most important events in the history
of the island-a practical Gaping of the
stonework already erected. He says that
in the recent elections the Cubans showed
an example that might well be followed by
other nations.
The governor general has decided to alter
the law issued over year ago making
marriages by religious forms alone illegal
and requiring a civil ceremony. The new
law will make any priest or clergyman of
a recognized religious denomination civil
official when performing marriages, and
will make il necessary for the officiating
clergyman to report such marriages to the
civil authorities. This will be welcomed
by large majority of the Cubans, espe-
cially the women who never liked the idea
that the only legal marriage was civil
