commerce of the world, there will
inevitably be some interior point at
which the rich products of the two
countries viii be gathered for export.
This point will doubtedly be at the
eastern entrance OF the canal into the
lake. The lake will supply large in
terror means of collecting these pro-
ducts at thousand points, and trans
ferripg them to the commercial
centre, just as Lake Michigan now
supplies Chicago with q great internal
commerce.
AS the treaties with Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA, under which the canal is to
be constructed, will give the United
States control of belt OF land on each
side of the canal, the points of junction
of the canal and lake will be import
ant. This will insure the i'm
mediate investment of capitsl, the
Herald thinks, and the swift concen-
tration of highly civilized population
to organize aud direct the varied in
tarests that will focus there. Judging
from the rapidity with which Anne
ricsn cities have grown to greatness,
1t Is safe guess that in less than TWEEN
~ years from the time the canal Is in
ished there will be city as large as 81
Paso OF Lake Nicaragua. A city, not
built Of Adobe and logs, but possessing
handsome business structures, attrac-
tive residences, well-paved streets and
well-plsnned parks and squares, such
as this city has today.

PLACE FOR Dewey.

Secretary Long is said to be about
organizing naval strategy board with
Admiral Dewey at its head. This
board, it Is to be hoped, will be more
successful than was the naval strategy
board that sat in Washington during
the Spanish war, with the scholastic
Capt. Mahan at it's head. Dewey was
and make it suddenly, because he was
beyond the touch of the strategy
board. But board with Dewey at it's
head oughtto be different. There ought
to be the same difference that there
is between q theorist and man of &C
tiop.
Prof. Schurman, president of the
first Philippine commission, says our
administrators in those islands should
be animated by the spirit of the navy,
which is not moved by political motives.
You hear nothing, or almost nothing.
of politics in the navy" he adds.
''Since our navy entered Philippine
waters there has not been an instance
of an officer abusing his power to op-
press, ipiure or ill-treat the natives
The navy is, think, ever tbs highest
body for devotion and nothing else.
Our civil administrators must learn
from or naval officers the art of deal
ing with men of other races and CO.
operating with them in the sdministra-
ton of their affairs"
II this is true, why would it not be a
good plan to appoint naval officers as
governors of provinces? asks an east
ern newspaper. The governor of
Guam is naval officer, and he has
made perfect success OF the admins
tration of that island. Not a single
complaint has been heard from the
natives against his government. Gen.
Wheeler stopped there on his way
home and said 1t was a beautiful spot
where peace reigned aad everybody
was ontented and happy.
The United States may well be proud
of her naval officers.

A VISION OF A CITY

In the varied views which the Hay
the fortifying or non-fOrtifying by The
United States of the Nicaragua canal
little attention has been given to some
features of Importance, which will
create no international questions, ex
cept such as may arise between the
United States on the one part and
Nicaragua and Costa Rica on the 9TH
er and it is left for the far-seeing Bal
timore Herald to point out these feat
ures.
If the canal Is built, as it surely will
. be, the Herald sees reasons for antici-
pating that great city will undoub-
tedly be founded en- Lake Nicaragua, to
which proposition most men will agree.
When one looks at an ordinary map
and sees space of about an inoh
square given to Nicaragua, and notes
that little blue spot less In size than
Q finger nail indicates Lake Nicaragua,
the casual impression is that both the
country and the lake are OF small con-
sequence.
ter, however, shows that the area
of Nicaragua is about the COM
bined areas OF the States of New
York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
and that Lake Nicaragua is body OF
water of magnificent size and capa-
city. The lake is one hundred miles
long and forty miles broad. At
H. t. t. t. l.
readily understood that it has a cape-
city to harbor the commerce of the
world.
The forests OF Nicaragua are rich in
woods of great commercial value,
woods which have not been utilized
extensively because they could not be
transported to navigable points. The
chief in value of these wood are ma
hogany, rosewood, ironwood, caout-
chouc and gum-copal. Cod mines
have been worked for many years, and
silver also is found. The soil of Mica
ragua is exceedingly rich, the chief
crops 'beipg:rice, coffee, cocoa, maize
and all tropical fruits. The climate is
not as unhealthy to north ern races IS |
are most tropical climates.
On the south side of the canal will |
lie Costa Rica. This little country al |
so has valuable commercial possib,li- |
ties. Gold, silver and copper mines
are already worked. Iron, nickel, zinc |
and lead sdepesits have been found,
but have mott been utilized. The soil
Is adapted to coffee growing, which is
the chief agricultural crop. The
forests Of Costa RIGA also supply
woods, chief among which
krs ebony. mahogany and the India
rubber tree.

| MRS. EMMONS BLAINE, of Chicago,
has introduced a new feature into the
| domestic science problem, and her
house is now being run under the
eight-hour law. The system was in
augurated about ten days ago, and it is
said to have proved highly successful
So pleased lie Mrs. Blaine with the plan
that she has suggested to several Of
her friends that they adopt it. She
has advanced the argument and the
belief that If other classes OF labor are
conceded the right of an eight-hour
day household servants should be as
well treated. Cooks, maids, buffers,
laundresses, coachmen and grooms
have been so classified that they labor
but eight hours at q stretch. The sys-
tenn has necessitated the forces being
divided into watches after the manner
on board ship. Those servants whose
duties begin at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing are relieved at o'clock in the
afternoon by a force that stays on
watch until 10 O'Clock at night.

in the house yesterday. and both sides
INDUCED in a heated debate, in which
politics and charges of lobbying played
a part The debate started on the order
introduced by Mr.. McNary (Dem.) re-
questing the railroad commission to fur
nish certain information to the house
Mr.. McNary saw no reason why the
order should not be adopted, although
he knew that the lobbyists Of the road
had been working against it. Mr.. Turtle
claimed that the McNary order required
a judicial answer and could not be an.
swered by the railroad commission. He
wished an order adopted which the COM
mission could answer, so that the Demo-
Gratis could not appeal to the people next
fall on the ground that as state COM
mission had refused to answer the state
was in the grasp Of commissioners.
Mr.. McNary replied with considerable
warmth, while Mr.. Mellen and Mr.. Ben
nett also spoke in favor Of the original
order. The order was laid over until
today.

TWO HEROES CHEERED.
Dewey and Gallant Father of AL
legged Murderer.

New York, Feb. S.-Admiral Dewey
was The guest of honor last night at the
dinner given by the Loyal Legion at
Delmonicos. In introducing Admiral
Dewey, General Burnett. who pre-
sided, said that Admiral Dewey's fame
was fixed imperishably. His comrades
of the Loyal Legion could only express
their love and affection for him. Moth
ing they might do would add single
spark to the luster of the great admirars
fame.
General King spoke of the work done
in the Shenandoah valley by General
MolneuX's brigade, and paid a stirring
tribute to the general, who was wound
ed in battle there. He said General
Molineux had done some of the most
brilliant and daring work Of the war.
The reference to the old veteran, who
for weeks has been present at his sons
trial for murder. brought the $50 guests
to their feet. They cheered tremen-
dously. The score or more of women
in the balconies added to the plaudits.
and General King, by request, repeated
the paragraph in his paper just read.
A second demonstration ensued. 1t
was concluded only when the guests
as one man rose and drank Health and
long life and happiness to General Mol
ineux."
Admiral Dewey entered the ball room
escorted by Rear Admiral Stanton, re-
tired. He received a splendid ovation.
He had not intended to speak. but he
consented to say just few words in
acknowledgement. He said: what
can one say to such an audience as
this. We have been companions in the
past, and we are companions now. |
could hardly say more. I will not try
to say more. for God knows what |
would say"
Admiral Dewey also attended the an
nual ball of the Emerald society in
Brooklyn, and received a great ovation.
He occupied a box decorated with
American flags, and with an admral's
flag on the main pillar. The admiral
watched the proceedings with interest,
and rose time and again and bowed IN
response to the cheers of the crowd.
