that a vote on the Hay-Paunce-
Il fote canal treaty will not be
taken at this session of congress.
The reasons for postponing the subject
are of two kinds, parliamentary and
political. Opinion in the senate is re-
ported to be so badly divided at this
time that neither the original treaty
nor the amendment offered by Sena-
tor Davis has any chance of securing
the twO-thirds vote requisite to a rati-
ncation. This is because the DEM
ocratic minority is holding together
for partisan purposes and is threaten
ing to vote in any manner which will
embarrass the administration. After
the presidential election the Democrat
ic senators will be at liberty to drop
party considerations and vote in ac-
cordance with their individual convic-
tions.
one reason why the supporters of
the administration in the senate are
not fighting a postponement is because
they recognize that the extent to which
anti British feeling has been developed
in this country since the beginning of
the South African war makes it doubt
full whether so important and delicate
a matter as treaty with England
proposing to undo fairly the Clayton
Bulwer treaty could at present secure
unbiased consideration. II is clearly
evident that large proportion of the
American people are undergoing an
epidemic of emotional insanity on the
subject of our diplomatic obligations
toward the combatants in South Africa
The temptation among public men to
hitch partisan schemes to this passing
! impulse of AnglOphobia is such that 1t
would not be wise politics to take MANY
chances founded on the supposed abil-
| itv Of senators to resist it. When the
storm has subsided deliberative at
mosphere will again prevail.
For similar reasons and because
this is presidential year, when every
man i'm public life, whether he wants
to or not, has to put politics upper
most in his thoughts, very little legis-
| latiOn of general Importance outside
of the appropriation and other routine
bills may be expected to receive final
attention at this session of congress.
| The desire of the leaders is 20 hasten
through the routine legislation as rap
| idly as possible consistent with care
full attention TO details and then TO
adjourn. The date which is in their
mind as an appropriate time for cd
journment is the first of June. by
that time the national conventions will
be taking everybody's attention and II
would be impossible to secure careful
consideration of important Legislative
! matters, no matter how earnestly the

1t is stated that the inhabitants of
the Danish islands of the West Indies
are up in arms against the purchase of
the islands by this country. 1t is not
likely however, that the inhabitants Of
the group will need to lose much sleep
over the matter for some time yet.
There is no particular reason just at
this time why the United States
should be persuaded to invest in this
territorial gold brick that has long
been a burden to Denmark.

ceedings of little value for advertising

~ court procedure has been
4 n made by Justice Leaventritt
of the New York city SUI
preme court, which seems to have
merit in it. He proposes that when a
case is to be opened, the defendants
counsel shall have an opportunity, inn
mediately following the opening ad-
dress of the counsel for the prosecu-
ton, to state the general nature of
the defense, and to announce in what
particulars the defense intends to chal-
lenge the plaintiffs proposed proof
and what the affirmative defense, if
any, will be.
Justice Leaventritt believes that in
this way the rights of the defense be-
fore the jury would be better safe
guarded because efforts at cross-ex-
animation would not be so likely as at
present to escape the comprehension of
the jury. 1t will be recognized that
few juries are sufficiently trained in
the fine points of logic to follow the
subtle trail of the expert -eXamin-
er through a maze of apparently con-
fusing testimony without the guidance
of a diagram. This opening address
by the counsel for the defense is to
serve as a diagram, so that the jury
can enter upon its task of weighing
the testimony with Il fairly well de-
fined idea in advance of what its rele-
vancy to the case is supposed to be.
The charge of the judge at the cOnclu-
sion could be relied upon to remove
any false impressions as to the law in
the case which might be worked in by
ingenious counsel in the course Of their
preliminary oratory.
An additional advantage claimed for
this plan by Judge Leaventritt is that
it would tend. to shorten trials. We do
not perceive how the New York iurist
arrives at this conclusion unless
through the belief that the presiding
judge could more readily rule out ir-
relevant testimony. 1t is his preroga-
tive to do this now. And incidentally
we might say that our judges would
earn additional gratitude from the
people if they should more generally
and systematically exercise this pre-
rogative by stripping justice of it's
plainly unnecessary delays. The case
which has recently occupied one of our
courts without interruption for almost
two weeks involving costs estimated at
so for every minute of time thus en-
ployed, is IA good illustration of cir
cuitous methods which might profit

The resignation of Colonel Webb

HERMANN THE MAGICIAN
Gave a Good Show At the Opera
House.

| The Myar opera house was taxed al
most to its utmost last night by the
audience that turned out to see the
wonderful magician. Leon Hermann,
better known as Hermann the Great.
| In his line Hermann is truly great.
In his performance last night he did
! some feats in legerdemain that were
astounding and bewildering and he did
them in the glare of many strong cleo
| trio lights and without cloth to COW
| er up the articles used in the feat.
More than that he was out in the CEN
ter OF the house surrounded by people
! so that there could not possibly he any
| thing behind him to aid him.
He walked out on an improvised foot
board into the center OF the parquet
with a bird in a cage and while he
stood there and talked to the people
around him both bird and cage disap-
peared and We're not seen again by the
audience. Another of his seemingly
impossible feats is the producing of
two glass dishes brim full of water
while standing in the midst of the aud
fence. He smote himself all over be-
fore producing the dishes to show that
they were not hid about his person
and il they had been the puzzle then
is how could they have been and they
so full of water that the negro assist
ant who came and got them could not
carry them without splitting the wa
ter.
The cremation is also wonderful
feat. young lady is placed in a
cylindrical frame covered with paper
and stands out on the stage clear of
everything. The paper is set on fire
and is consumed. When The paper is
gone so is the lady. \ wonderful and
an amusing feat of Mr.. Herrmann's is
as follows: An empty tub is placed on
the stage. The negro assistant fills il
with water from several buckets sit
ting on the stage. The water is poured
from height so that it may be seen
that there is nothing in il. Hermann
then throws five eggs into the water.
fires pistol into il and out climbs five
grown ducks. which waddle across the
stage and disappear behind the wings
Many are the wonderful feats he per-
forms and they are all new and SEEM
ingly with no solution but the setting
aside of the laws of nature
Leon Hermann is known in every
country on the globe and is often call
ed King Hermann. the Third His
father Carl Hermann was the first of
the family to- become famous as IA ma
gician. Then Carts brother Alexander
was the second. These two are dead
and Leon Hermann is the only Herr
mann magician now living and the
peer of all in his profession.
