Nobody'- Rlshts WIN Bc Ignored.

Nnshington Feb s., Secretary Hay
Is determined that the state depart
mcnl shall observe with the most
sciupulous ndelitywhatever obligation
may rest upon it toward Nicaragua
and Costa Rico in the matter Of the
construction of the NicNragunn canal.
1t has not been possible to move in
that matter pending The removal Hf
the obstacle in the way of canal build
hg presented from the Cloyton'l'ul-
WCr treaty.
There has not been the slightest dis
position to ignore the governments CT
our sister republics in the matter, but
in the view Of the department II
would not have been digniiied or safe
TO make ovcrturcs 20 them before the
United States had acquired the power
20 deal with u free hand with the canal
problem so far us Great Britain was
concerned Now, however, the depart
ment will address itself TO the gov
crhneuts of Nicaragua and Costa lIleO,
locking 10 the requirement OF WHAT
ever privileges are deemed essential 20
the construction of the canal and its
operation.
About the same time, or rather ~
soon as the senate shall hnye ratified
the treaty and the rNtI0cOtIons shpll
have been exchanged, the department
will address identical notes to the
great maritime powers of the whole
world. to secure their adhesion TO the
preject for the perpetual neutrollzo-
tion of the canal.

wonderful Performance OF Dredst
Uoat Designed by II Citizen
of Chicago.

Washington, Feb. S.-The engineer
wcrlG of Europe has not recovered
from its surprise over the remarka.
bic performance, at Antwerp, of a big
dredge boat constructed in Belgium for
the Russian government on plans pre-
pare0 by an American engineer, Mr.
Bates of Chicago. Under the contract
the boat was to have capacity Of
LOCO cubic yards of dredging per hour
She recorded a capacity of $500 yard,
on trial.
SO great was the interest in the trial
that most of the foreign ambassadors
were present, the Belgian cabinet, com,
missions from Australia, India, Ger.
MANY, France, the Argentine republic
and hundreds of engineers from all
PARTS of Europe. Trains were run at
reduced rates to accommodate the peo
pie eager to see the American dredge,
the most powerful in the world, and
for six weeks boats were kept running
at Antwerp to carry visitors to the
point of operation
The immediate effect has been to
cause orders to be placed for similar
dredges for India, Australia and Rus
sia.
The facts are reported to the state
department by Consul-General Hoi
loNay at St, Petersburg,

"Nonsensel / don't talk too much"

ever suspect the fact himself? Is II
possible for a man TO go on, year after
year, deluding himself with the belief
that he is a sparkling and entertaining
conyersationalist, whereas everyone re-
CARDS him as pest?"
Walker was compelled TO answer In
the affirmative, lie thought Of the case

stock Of nelghborhood, lie u per.

Mrs. Walker has reproyed me seyora
times for breaking In while some ont

But no. Il was some one who hates me
III keep quiet and find out"
Walker met many Ncquaintancos tha,
day, and every one of them was under
suspicion. Walker even made signif
cant remarks, such us swell, suppose
I'm noisy chump," or 81 dare say
talk too much," and then watched eacl
face 10 see II he could detect the guilty
flush, but he couldn't However, ht
