A cat and Ave kittens were found one
morning comfortably enscOnced In the
hayloft Of a stable az Blockenhurst,
They we're not wanted there, and so the
stable man removed the family to a
crib In a stall where a bro0dy but per-
slstent hen had been for many days
sitting upon some china eggs, Before
long sounds Of a struggle were heard,
and the cat left her little ones with a
good deal OF haste. on investigating.
the stable man found TO his astonlsh-
ment that the hen had driven out the
cat and taken her place as foster-mOth-
er OF the kittens, nor would she permit
the cat 10 return She coOed to the hit
tens and aid her best TO amuse them;
when they became restless, she exer-
cised maternal authority In keeping

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
Representative Hepburn on the Canal
Across the Isthmus.

Careful consideration OF all the evil
dence collected by the committee Of
which ] am chairman strengthens the
view that the construction OF the Nj
caragua canal should be undertaken by
this government along the lines OF the
bill favorably reported last February.
This measure was intended as a sub
stitute for the Senate bill proposing to
amend the charter Of the Maritime
Canal company, and then TO reorganize
the company by the appointment OF a
majority OF the board OF directors BY
the President OF the United States, and
to use that corporation as It's agent for
constructing and operating the canal.
IL am confident that the canal VIII be
OF great commercial and military adj
vantage 10 the United States. Consld-
cradle difference OF opinion exists as
to the amount OF tonnage that will use
the route, one estimate being 300 900 and
another II 600, 600 tons. While the dis
lance from New York TO Honk Kong by
way OF the projected Nicaragua canal
would be six or seven hundred miles
shorter than by the Suez canal this adj
vantage is offset by the excellent coal
ing facilities which lie along the latter
route. With coallng stations however,
at both ends Of the Nicaragua canal,
at Honolulu Guam and Manila, this
advantage viii be materially lessened
I'm making an estimate Of the
amount OF tolls that may be received
from the use OF the Nicaragua canal,
consideration must be given to the alb
sence Of convenient coaling stations.
The snace that vessels would give TO
freight when using the Suez route
would have 10 be reduced In case the
voyage should be through the Nlcara-
qua waterway in order 20 provide room
for additional coal and men. II is my
opinion, however. that notwithstanding
this disadvantage. the Nicaragua can
al, upon completion, will yield sufficient
revenues to pay all operating expenses
and such n rate OF interest as the gov
eminent would have had 20 pay should
II have borrowed the money for its con-
struction.
II am satfled that the feeling In Con-
gress is that the canal should be built
with as little delay as possible. and as
I have done In the past | propose to
use my best efforts 10 obtain legisla-
tion which will permit the early COM
mencement Of the great work, Among
