formatlon. Senator Lindsay'a speech on
this matter, 10 seems to Ne. contains the
true doctrine. He 10 opposed 10 admit
ting the Philippines 10 free trade with
Us, but we can see no reason why Porto
Rioo should not have the full benefit OF
the promise made her when she received
our troops. He would treat Porto kioo
and thu PHILIPPINES as entirely distinct
denying nothing which the former can
fairly claim, because OF tha fear OF oreat-
ing any president In regard TO the latter.
It Is clear enough that much OF the OBJ
lection to granting free trade to Porto
Rico was founded on the fear that
IL might In some way oblige rs TO ex-
tend the same treatment to the Philip
pines. But that danger, II IL exists. can
be entirely eliminated ~ simple deola-
ration that Congress holds that the
colonies are not under the Consultation,
and that it claims the power to treat
each one Of them on its merits. Moth
ing can be clearer than that there Is a
very strong demand among the people
treating Porto Rico rs part OF the U nit
ed States so far at least as the tariff Is
concerned. IL has not been removed nor
sensibly diminished By the explanations
which have been put forth for the
Houses action In disregardins the Presi-
dents original Recommendation. The
people generally agree with the President
then that 10 was ''our plain duty" to
oren our marEsts to Porto Rico free Of
all duty and they apparently remain Of
the same mind. It's good year to heed

New York, March 15.-"The feoretnry
Of state has misjudgod the temper Of our
people. They wish to tie on friendly
terms with Great Britain, but not at the
sacrifice Of proper national pride or inde-
pendenoe. am sure they will not ap-
prove a policy which Is Q distinct and
humiliating departure from thsir tradi-
tional one of attending to their own
affairs, without asking the advice or seek
ing the aid of any foreign power" says
Arthur SewalL
In the course Of an interview he furth-
or said: "It may be true, aud presume
1t Is, that no such thing as an Anglo
American alliance or understanding ex-
lists, but there lie more than ons tndioa-

am not an advocate of the Nicaragua
Canal scheme. In my Judgment, the
Panama route is much more feasible. ana
the thing to do is to acquire the franchise
which is offered by the Panama Canal
company, and to complete the undertak-
ing which they have abandoned. The ca
nal should lie an American enterprise,
pure and simple. BY this l mean that
the canal should be built, owned, operat-
cd and controlled, In every sense OF the
word, by the United States. can see
no more reason why we should consult
the wishes of Great Britain In the mat
ter than those of any other European
power. As to Terrifying the canal, that IL

ture discrimination. 1t ls something
which concerns only the United States

the canal Is out.
at is humiliating to every patriotic
American to lind an American state De-
partment committing itsen to suoh a
treaty as the one just concluded with
Great Britain"
Recurring to his previously expressed
opinion that the Panama route WAS more
feasible than the one across Nicaragua,
Mr., Sewall said: "a little more than
one year ago went over the Panama
route from end to emo and made as care
ful n study Of the situation as was pos
sible In the time at my disposal. Tc pur-
chase the Panama franchise and complete
the Panama Canal would cost, perhaps,
SiC0, 900 000 more than the Nicaragua
Canal would cost. But that 10 not such
a staggering difference for great and
rich nation like ours to contemplsss, In
view Of the enormous benefits which the
canal would confer upon the country.
The Panama Canal would lie one without
locks, whereas, the Nicaragua Canal
must Of necessity have looks. These are
often a nuisance In time of peacs and are
likely to be blown up By the sremy In
time of war. The construction Of the
Panama Canal Is simply a problem OF
cutting and dredging, The expense can
be pretty CLOSELY calculated. l can see
no reason why We could not duplicate
the KeDnebeo river there, and cut a
stream five hundred feet wide, If need be.

tance IS only about forty miles while via

Mr.. Van si,klen of New York, who
speaks for the Beers in this country,
does not think that President kruger's
appeal to Great Britain for an armisiice
indicates that the Beers are about to
give up. His view Is that tho President
has offered to make peace on the basis
of the status quo ante bellum in order
to put upon England all the RESPONSE
bilIty for future bloodshed. He believes
that unless England accepts the terms
proposed by Kruger the latter will fight
to the bitter end, even though the Free
statsrs may desert him. Mr.. Van
Sioklen may be right. but the general
opinion In Europe seems to be that the
Doors have reached the conclusion that
their case is hopeless, and are ready to
make peacs on any terms they can get
This view appears this more probable.

before the Exposition is ended. 1t was
this danger, the correspondents Sllege,
that England was preparing to meet,
when she ordered preparations for a gen.
sral mobilization of the fleet, appealed to
the colonies TO put every available man
In the field and sent the Queen to Ire
land, the latter move being made to
plaoats her Irish subjects. The fact that
France has tried her best to get the Sui
tan to reopen the Egyptian questions is
one piece of evidence Of French designs
against England, and the sending Of
large bodies of troops to Madagascar,
Algiers and Tonquin is another. The
weak point in the French programme is
the absence Of ossua belli, but this they
hope to get from England in some way.
The scheme contsmplstes the active as
sistance Of Russia and the neutrality of
Germany. There is said to bs definite
understanding with the former, but some
uncertainty attaches to the latter, though
the belief is that German feeling against
England Is so strong that the Kaiser
