censure of Capt. Chadwick having cri- ticised Schley did not indicate such a voritism. It was one of the sharpest rebukes ever administered to Q naval officer. For instance, this paragraph, referring especially to Chsdwick's claim that, although he made the criti- cism to newspaper nan, he didn't in- tend it for publications: "While he may not have justification in publishing what you understood, and regarded as understood by him, to be private con- versation, you knew the risk you rar and within year had been repri- handed for similar misconduct, in put ting yourself and the welfare of the service to the same risk with the same result. You have thus again and fur ther impaired the confidence of the de. partment in your discretion"
 Nobody was looking for anything sem sational in the debate which preceded the passing of the Nicaragua Canal bill, by the house, but the personal wrangle between Representative Hepburn, author of the bill, and Representative Cannon, of Illinois, was one of the most sensational of the session, each charg. ing the other with improper motives in his attitude towards the building of an ISthmian canal. Before the House had quieted down after the Hepburn-Can- non row, there was another between Representatives Gaines of Tennessee, and Mann of Illinois. It is not regarded as probable that the Senate will take up the canal bill at this session.
 Senator Teller has offered Q resolu. tion expressing sympathy for the strug. gling South African republics and the desire that this government by its friendly offices, offered to both govern. ments, may assist in bringing about the war to close with honor to both sides. As the Senate only few days ago voted down similar resolution of- fered by Senator Pettigrew there is no likelihood of the adoption of Senator Teller's.
 Few persons realize the steady growth of trade interdependence among na. tions. Statistics along that line are full of surprises to the average individ- ual. A report prepared by the Depart ment of Agriculture for the information of the Department of State is case in point. It deals with the commercial re- lations between the United States and Turkey, and was prepared to enable in- telligent handling of the proposition that we should retaliate because Turkey has destroyed trade of less than $o00 a year by shutting out American pork. The report makes. it. quite plain that any retaliation would be case of cutt- ing our nose to spite our face, as our principal importation from Turkey is a kind of cotton not obtainsble elsewhere and indispensable, in the manufacture ot particular line of goods.
 Senator Stewart, in answer to 8 re- quest from Senator Teller to tell the Senate the difference between good and bad trusts, said: ''rhe Senate of the United States is trust, and 1 believe q good one.n After the laughter had quieted down, Mir. Stewart seriously expressed the opinion that it was very difficult to draw line between the good and bad trusts, but that competition, if left untrammeld, would give the people their best opportunity to get rid of bad trusts. He regretted that there was no way of stopping demagogic howls on the trust question:. which would con. tinue as long as they produced votes.
 The senate this week passed the Alas kan Civil code bill without amendments. Preceding the vote Senatol Carter, who was in charge of the bill, withdrew his amendment relating to the location of mining claims, saying that he did so not because he did not think it just and fair, but because he recognized that either the amendment or the bill would have to be abandoned, and he consid. cred the necessity for the legislation pressing.
 Secretary Hay says this government has no knowledge that any European government is trying to purchase the Danish West Indies, which Denmark has offered to sell to the United States; nor of any attempt on the part of per sons connected with tho Standard Oil company to compel Denmark to pay them commission if the sale is made; that only those authorized to act for Denmark have been recognized in the negotiations by the department of state. As the matter now stands Denmark has offered to sell the islands to us and the offer is in the hands of the Senate Com. mittee on Foreign Relations.
