POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Premature JubiIation.-rt -is

Premature Jubilatfon.-It is sug-
gested by numerous gentlemen who have
made 1t their business to follow closely
isthmian canal legislation that the loud
shouts of victory now piercing the air
from the throats of the friends Of the
proposition are very much premature. Ii
is true. they point out, that the Hepburn
bill has passed the House by an almost
unprecedented majority. without partisan
division, but the amendments injected in
to the measure at the last moment indi-
cate what is in store for it when it
reaches the Senate. That these amend
ments were made at the behest OF the
Administration is as well known as any
thing can be known by persons who do
not enjoy the confidence OF the men who
run Congress. That the Administration
is committed to the -Pauncefote
Treaty has never been denied. even by
the most timid friends of Mr.. Mckinley.
Here, then, is a situation that is omi-
nous. The Hay-Pauncefote Convention
seeks to take Great Britain into full part
nership in the Canal enterprise by vital
izing the old Clayton Bulwer Treaty.
which died to all intents and purposes be-
fore IL had acquired sufficient strength
to assert its right to position among the
decent ard binding international cOnven-
tions of the world. There is no doubt
at all that the Hay -Pauncefote Treaty
would have been ratified by the Senate
long ago but for the indignant protests
from all parts of the country that threat
ened trouble in the Presidential cam
paign. The treaty is now lurking in the
Senate awaiting a favorable opportunity
for temperance. 1t is Rrebable that that
opportunity will not be~aifprded until the
Presidential election is over. Then the
Senate will find time TO take up the Mica
ragua Canal bill passed by the House
yesterday. and, after trimming IL still
further to suit the spirit and purposes Of
the Administration sell-out to Great
Britain, will probably enact II into a law
of the land. 1t is thought probable that
the real friends of an American isthmian
canal will be able meantime to rally suf-
heient strength in Congress either TO de-
feat the emasculated bill outright or re-
duce to the minimum the evils of British
partnership which now adhere to the
measure Still, it is recognized that Col
lis p. Huntington and the other trans
continental railroad magnates are very
powerful. and may so manipulate future
canal legislation as TO indefinitely post
pone the consummation of an enterprise
that has been a pleasant national dream
for several generations.

Mr.. Hepburn, in a certain sense, is en-
titled to praise for the effective
manner in which he sat down upon Mr.
Cannon in the House yesterday, but if
he viii allow his memory to run back a
few years. he probably will be reminded
that it is hardly worth while to waste
breath on Cannon. Every Representative
knows that this person is an exasperating
busybody. Whenever a measure with viii
the Appropriations Committee has nothing
to do is before the House. he is a nuisance
Young members may be exeusable for rot
knowing him thoroughly. but older ones.
especially those who were in the Fifty
first Congress. ought to remember that
Cannon should not be taken seriously.
Probably some of them will recall an in
cident which led to the frequent pictorial
representation of his vocal organ in 4 GER
tain great New York daily.

Growing tired of his chair one afternoon,
Speaker Reed surrendered il to another member

Af baltimore Tonight.-The genuine
article of Democ; acy will be eloquently
expounded at Baltimore tonight The
Maryland Association Of Democratic Clubs
the BRIAN Democracy-will hold a rally
in the Monumental City and listen 10 the
finished oratory of the Hon. Thomas Ball
Of Texas and various advocates OF the Chi
cago platform in Maryland II is expected
that the meeting Will result in stirring
up such enthusiasm for Bryan that the
opposition will cease ats efforts to with
hold instructions fTcm the delegation 10
the Kansas City Convention. The Hon.
Arthur Pue German will not attend the
meeting tonight. Some time ago Mr.
German announced his temporary retire
ment from active politics. and while lie
has rot declared his opposition TO Bryan
still the regular Democracy CT the State
is inclined TO view his attitude with sus-
picion- Neither will State Chairman Van
diver be a participant in tonight's rally.
Mr. Vandiver is kept too busy with oficial
affairs at Annapolis to give attention TO
politics at this time. Governor Smith. too
is in the same fix. Altogether. therefore
it seems probable that very few of tie
old leaders will mingle with the regulars
at Baltimore this evening. Indeed it ap-
pears that none Of them have been urged
10 do So Bryan and the Chicago platform
will be the keynotes of the oratOry.

For Judge in Porto Rieo-Tha- ex-
euse given by the Administration for the
Foraker resolution continuing the mill
tary government in Porto Rico until Au-
gust l was given a severe test yesterday.
Representative Cowherd of Missouri, ae
companied by Senator Elkins, called at
the White House and pleaded with the
President to appoint the Hon. L. Sulz-
bacher. Of Kansas City. as one of the
Federal judges in the island. II was rep
resented to Mr.. Mckinley that Mr. Sulz-
baeher is a good and loyal Republican,
who has had much experience with Span
ish laws and customs. having practiced
law in New Mexico for many years while
Senator Elkins was a citizen of that Ter
ritory. and also having lived in Porto Rico
Mr. Mckinley very amiably assur-
ed them that he would take Mr. Sulz-
bacher's name under consideration" The
reason the President assigned for desiring
TO continue the military government in
Porto Rico three months beyond the date
set by the Foraker bill for the inaugura-
ti0n OF the civil government was that he
wanted time in which to make proper
selections for the various offices TO be
filled, declaring that il would be advisable
to get men who understood Spanish laws
and customs. 1t is not doubted that pend
ing the three months allowed him by Con-
greSs gentlemen in various States that
thfeaten to be uncomfortabiy close in the
November election will learn all that is
necessary to be known about Spanish laws
and customs. Mr.. Sulzbaeher does not
live in such a State.

convention Of Nebraska has done what r.as
expected of it in Washington Tie plat
form adopted. like the platforms adopted
in Ohio and Indiana, was written in this
city and sent out to Lincoln By a trusted
agent Of the Administration. Senator
Thurston's victory was complete. A hard
fight had been made on him in Nebraska
for delegate at-large to the Philadelphia
Convention, but at the last moment he ral-
lied the support of the Administration
through his relations to the Standard Oil
Company as one OF its attorneys and
bcwled over his enemies at home The
nomination of the Hon. c. h DIETRICH. OF
Hastings, for Governor is believed 70 be
an unusually strong selection for the head
of the State ticket Mr.. DIETRICH is ma
tional banker, and is reported TO be very
liberal in the expenditure Of money when
his interest is aroused in politics He led
the fight against the prohibition craze in
Nebraska several years ago, and ever since
has stood high with the Beer and Liquor
Trusts. II is said that he can command
from these interests large contributions to
the campaign fund. AS his name indicates.
he is German and it is supposed that he
will poll the fun strength Of that element
of voters in Nebraska.
