He said 1t was important that the United
States should control the telegraph lines
in Alaska, and 1t was important, too, that
cable lines entering Alaska should be I'M
der the control OF the American govern
rnent. The idea of his proposition was to
prevent any foreign government or cor
poration from entering Alaska with either
telegraph or cable lines. Canadian COM
pany was now constructing a telegraph
line with the idea of crossing Alaska and
laying a cable from the Alaskan coast
across the Pacific ocean 10 China 1t
ought not to be permitted to land its cable
on the Alaskan coast.
Carter said he could see no reason why
any number OF cable lines should not be
constructed across the Pacific.
Lodges amendment was agreed to.
Without completing the bill, the senate,
at 5:l5 p. m, adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May 1--For the FIRST

the project for the construction Of an in
terot eanic canal, the house OF representa-
ing OF a canal. Many time prior questions
bearing upon the subject have been before
the house, but this was the first time
positive action can be predicted. Tomor-

journment.' The debate today was MEM

erful opposition 1t developed.

Cannon Also Against 1t.


Cannon concluded the debate OF the aft
ernoon with a brief but vigorous speech
against the bill. He was In favor OF the
canal, but said Il was HIS duty as n Re-
publican TO see that the canal Vas con-
structed as economically and early as pos
sible.
During the last session congress appro-
priated N,o00.0o0 for the investigation OF
the various routes. One thousand engt-
neers had been AT work, 500 on the Mica
raguan route, 800 on the Panama and go
on the Darien route. Should congress go
ahead and disregard that prodigious work
done by the Walker commission
Cannon statedtha an investigation was
being made now as TO the advisahllity OF
cutting OH from twenty 20 twenty-five
miles OF the proposed route which. Il was
possible, might save half the cost OF the
canal, He had talked With Admiral Wal
kcr within two days Was congress not
10 take cognizance Of what was going on,
III this bill became a law Il would place the
United states at the mercy OF Nicaragua
Admiral Walkers Views.
Mr.. Cannon created something OF a SEN
sation BY quoting Admiral Walker. chair
man Of the isthmian canal commission. as
saying:
the canal across the isthmus should be
constructed. or which Is the best route,
and i viii take us the remainder OF the
year 90 determine those two facts"
Cannon said that the proper way to get
the concession would be 10 play one gov
tEnHtAL against the other. 'BeDtle men
talk OK trusts" said he. God ia His IN
finite wisdom could not create such a
turst as This bill creates" He said he had
been informed the gentlemen pressing this
btu were doing SO to delay the construc-
ton Of the canal He did not believe Il,
but he did believe they were too jealous.
Honesty without caution and wisdem was
as bad as dishonesty. He declared the
enactment Of the bin would put weight
on that would hinder its construction for
years and cost the government 100000,
Stewart OF New Jersey asked why Ad-
miral Walker had not furnished the "se-
cret' information given by Cannon to the
house.

Onions are good as a spring medicine

nothing but oranges.

nails trimmed and attended to careful

callous spots, once a week wash the
feet in strong borax water, as warm as
you can stand it. Dry and rub with
alcohol to harden the skin.
If you are stout and want to get thin

your arms against your waist and put

firing line she won the most glory. Al

in the battles of San Rogue, Carload

Cheer after cheer went heavenwatd

interests of the people who are di-

main.
From the measures before congress
it seems that the present public land
system is generally unsatisfactory,
and that the lands should be preserved
for actual settlers, and placed beyond
the reach of the stock syndicates.
Some of these control millions of
acres. used for grazing purposes. The
general government is thus deprived
of sales, and the settlement of the
country is retarded. The land being
'denuded of vegetation, is practically
valueless for several years after its
abandonment by the stockmen. The
syndicates use the lands as long as
there is vegetation, and after the
abandonment it is about three years
before the vegetation grows out, and
thus the lands are practically out of
the market for series of years.

the act caused Miss Bruin TO stand and
stare while olga took the bits of apple
and dropped them in line, starting
as near the cub as she could reach,
and leading to her feet. Then she
continued the apple line to her knee,
and spreading out her skirt, dotted
it here and there with the pieces. Sew
cral good-szed slices were saved for
her arms and shoulder, and last, to
top OFF, she placed the core on top of her
head.
All this was done slowly and DELHI
erately, and when it was finished Olga
sat as still as a statue. Blinking and
shifting, the willy Juneau stole softly
toward the apple line. The apple was
juicy, and the bear put aside all fear
and malice, and nibbled contentedly
up TO the two blunt little feet which
were set up so sturdily before her.
There the cub paused to study the
silent figure, but finding that it did
not move or offer TO be friendly, she
continued her feast.
Slowly and carefully she searched
over the dress, not missing a morsel,
and finally shifted at the little girls
shoulder. Stepping gingerly into the
soft lap, Juneau rose on her hind feet,
rested her forcpaws on Olga's chest,
and hastily gulped down the remain
ing bits of apple until none was left
but the tempting core on the child's
head.
Then the bear, clinging with her
sharp claws to the cloth jacket, climbed
upon Olga's shoulder, clasped her
round the neck for balance, and nib

courage never failed her. There was
not the culver of an eyelash to show
that she was alive, and the wary cub,
with grunt of satisfaction, went back
to her box to sleep. Not until then did
the child move from her cramped posi-

of glee TO tell her friends.

A New Jersey farmer tells this re-
markable story TO the Evangelist, and
vouches for its truth: 81 had more
pigs than | wanted to keep, so | sold
one to man living in the neighbour
ing village. The little pig had been
living in the pen with his brothers and
sisters, and had never been outside of
it until the man who bought him put
him in a basket, tied down the cover,
and put IL in lis wagon 10 carry TO
the new home. Late in the afternoon
the farmer who sold IL saw something
coming across the sNyampy meadow be-
low his home. lie watched il strug-
CLING through the wet places, climbing
the knobs, until he could see that il
was his little pig, all covered with mud
and very tired. lie went strnioht to-
ward the barn, against which was the
only home he recognized. The money
was returneh to the man who had
bought il, and the little pie stayed at
home
