investigation into the comparative merits

with a good deal of clamor, there are many
who put an uncomplimentary interpreta-

is recalled that several months ago the
Walker Commission prepared, and pre-

Kinley. a detailed and convincing report
showing the insuperab!e advantages OF the
Nicaragua route over the Panama route.

lish, which is now spoken by enlightened
people, will also be used by those less en-
lightened. There was a time when the ed
ucated classes thought it necessary to use
long words and stately phrases, and these
gradually supplanted, first among the edu-
Gated and then among the ignorant, the
simpler, straightforward Saxon. The time
will come when foreign words and affected
phrases will be relegated to their proper
place. and good English will be spoken by
most of the American people. Those who
initiate one thing will initiate another.

70 BEAT SENATOR GJLLON
OF THE COOK COUNTY
MACHINE.
Congressman Hit Possible Candidate
Against the Tall Statesman From the
Sangamon-Hot Politics.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4-To elect enough
members Of the state Legislature so as
to be able to control the election of a
United States senator is the main pur
pose of the Lorimer-T Tanner machine
in the present state campaign, accord
ing to a prominent republican. 1t is
said to be a part of the scheme, too, to
aim to control all legislation during the
next session at Springfield. This repub
lican said:
THE success of the state ticket is to
be of secondary consideration with the
Cook county machine. The Cook coun-
ty bosses know they cannot control
Yates; they have received several hard
jolts lately; they have made serious
mistakes and they figure that their only
hope lies i'm making themselves feared
through probable control of the legisla-
ture. They hope to get in enough of
their men to hold the balance of power,
defeat Senator Cullom for reelection
and force the anti-Tanner- Lorimer men
to terms"
Congressman Hit is said to be booked
upon with great favor by the Tanner
LOrimer people as a senatorial pUSs Ill
lity but other men are mentioned Con-
gresham Cannon, w. j. Calhoun and
Congressman Hopkins. AS it was put
yesterday Congressman Hit is a strong
favorite with many of the Cook county
machine men, but the hostility existing
between Cannon, and Hit, l. is said,
is likely to interfere with the election Of
either.

ARMY HORSES HAVE CHAMBERS.
Serious Disease Broken Out at the
Presidio.

SAN FRANCISCO, August S.-The
spread of CHAMBERS among the cavalry
horses at the Preside has almost as
sumed the proportions of an epidemic.
Yesterday ten infected animals were
shot and several more that IRE nder
suspicion will probably be llled to-
day.
This disease, which is very ntagi-
Gus, may be present in an animal for
months before it is discovered 1t is
always fatal. When contracted by hui
man beings it is one of the most Viru-
lent diseases known and is incurable. 1t
attacks the membranes and death, at
tended with intense suffering, speedily
follows.
The presence of the disease in horses
is detected by inocuating with mallein,
a marked rise in the temperature of the
animal during the eight or ten hours
following being a certain indication of
infection.
The CHAMBERS at the Preside was pro-
badly brought here by the Ninth Cav
airy, as most of the cases thus far have
been found among the horses in Troop
+, which come from Fort Huachucha,
AriZ.
The entire mount of that troop VIII
be left here and new ones supplied.

KOREAN PRINCE LOVES FRISCO
Refuses to accompany his Tutor to
Virginia.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-Take
off your hat to Prince Eui VIVA or
Korea. He has fallen in love with this
big town. And he has not seen much
of it vet. But that is not his fault. He
only arrived here last Saturday on the
steamer Picking. The last two days he
has been busy sightseeing. And he
wants to see more. There is every pros
pect that the heir to the throne of Ko-
rea may make San Francisco his home
for some time to come. He has refused
to go East with Secretary Sin Ia Moo
of the Korean Legation at Washington,
and the latter was much worried over
the matter last evening. He coaXed
but the Prince got stubborn.
Prince Eui Wha arrived Saturday
with Sin Tia Moo, en- route to Roanoke,
Va, for the purpose of continuing his
studies in the English language. He is
under the special care of Sin Ia Moo,
who is second secretary of the Legation
at Washington. Both are well-dressed
educated young gentlemen. Sin Ia Moo
is up to date from a European stand
point. The prince, who is twenty five
is not far behind him in English and
experience in Western ways. In dress
and affability he is fully abreast of
him.
Sin TIA Moo desired to procure over
land tickets yesterday, but the Korean
royal sprig told him to leave him OUT
of the archaeological arrangement.
Then for the first time the secretary
learned that the Prince was enamored
of the town and intended staying here
for a while.
You can come back later on, said the
persuasive and diplomatic Sin Ia Moo.
II like San Francisco very much my
self 1t is a beautiful city with a hun
dred pastimes I'll come back with you
in the fall"

Foreign News and Gossip.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 23.-The
British steamer Barberton, which has
just arrived here from Colon, reports
that severe fighting occurred Monday
and Tuesday at Culebra. The govern
ment forces attacked the rebels, who oc-
cupied a good position, with the result
that the losses of the former were heavy.
The fighting was proceeding when
the steamer left Tuesday night.
The stores and restaurants at Colon
were closed and the rebels held por-
ton of the railroad line.
A rebel force was reported to be en-
gaging the government troops near
Panama. Business is entirely suspended
at the latter place and both Panama and
Colon are III state of terror.
The rebels are attacking in a deter
mined manner and it is feared the
slaughter will be great before decisive
results are reported.
The Liberals, it is asserted by the pas
sengers of the Barbadian, hold Buena
Ventura, though the Colombian govern
ment is making a great effort to regain
possession of it, but thus far unsuccess-
fully.

KRUGER ENRoUTE TO PARIS.
He Leaves MarseiIIes and Spends the
Night at Dion.

MARsELLIEs, Nov. 23.-Although the
enthusiasm attending Mr.. Kruger's de-
parture from Marseilles was not SO
boisterous as when he landed yesterday
from the Gelderland, he had no reason
to complain of any diminution of warmth
on the part of the people of Marseilles.
Mr.. Kruger was up at an early hour
and was ready and waiting when his
landau reached the hotel to convey him
to the railroad depot.
Amidst the cheering of large assem-
bly, the former president of the Trans
vaal entered his carriage and was driven
to the station.
Just before the departure of the train
Mr.. Kruger appeared on the steps of the
railroad carriage, in response to the
shouts of the crowd, and thanked the
people of Marseilles for their warm well
come. Mr.. Kruger will spend the night
at Dion.
