it give life and effect to the Clayton Bull
wer Treaty. which. being never consti-
tutionally ratified. never has had a legal
existence. The Clayton-Bulwer agreement
by its terms prohibited either the United
States or Great Britain from acquiring any
exclusive control of a Nicaragua Canal.
The Hepburn Morgan bill provides for ex-
elusive control. If it became law it would
abrogate all existing laws and treaties
in conflict with it, and knock the Admin
istration Panama scheme on the head
finally and irretrievably. The policy and
programme of the Panama schemers is
clearly disclosed by the circumstances and
conditions of the situation. If they can
prevent passage of the Hepburn Morgan
bill at this session. they will then have
seven months. in which to jam through
and exchange notifications of the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
The Administration argues that. should
the Republican party win at the polls in
November, its prestige will be so great in
the second session OF the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress that the majority will do whatever
1t wants, and that the Senate can be
brought to ratify the Hay Pauncefote
Treaty. If the Democrats should win. then
the Republicans will be so revengeful in
In either event the calculation is that, by
hook or by crook. the Hay Pauncefote fish
can be landed, and a bill rushed through
something like Burton's, which would give
the President power to select any isthmian
route he might see fit and instantly to
make the contracts requisite to bind this
Government TO the plan and expenditures
contemplated in the legislation.
This project of high joint jobbery. if
successful would at once place the Ad-
ministration and It's associates "cn vel
vet The Hay Pauncefote Treaty being
ratified. would put an end to any Ameri
can canal across Nicaragua; but 1t would
not stand in the way of Mr.. McKinley's
selecting the Panama route and taking
that gigantic deal off the HANDS OF the
syndicate. From a machine headquarters
viewpoint this would be an all around
blessing undisguised. An exclusive Ameri-
can canal across the isthmus would be
rendered impossible. The troublesome Mon
roe Doctrine would be abrogated The
Panama crowd would take in the millions
to be squandered in the de Lesseps rat hole;
and as it never could be finished and oper-
ated, the transcontinental magnates would
be easy in their minds. happy, and per
haps generous.
But all this iobbery and connivance can
be defeated if the friends of the American
people in the Senate have the sense and
courage to compel a vote on the Hepburn
Morgan bill, and to make neither conces-
sion to nor compromise with the McKin e.

PRUNE TRUST IN CONTROL.
Growers Combine to Raise Prices on
the Consumer.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE latest thing in
ers of Oregon. Washington, and IDAHO All
the prunes grown in the three States will
be the property of the trust from the mo-
ment they start to grow. They will all
be turned over into the actual possession
of the trust the moment they are cured,
and anybody who wants to buy Oregon,
Washington or Idaho prunes will have to
get them of the trust
The new trust was the outgrowth OF a
convention of fruit growers OF the three
States at Portland, on March Q. which was
attended by nearly 500 fruit growers. in
Guiding many who owned thousands OF
acres OF fruit land and many who owned
even less than twenty acres each.
Nearly all of the speakers agreed that
there had not been any money in the
prune business for the growers for the
last eight or ten years, and therefore
combination that could regulate the price
of the commodity was an absolute neces-
sIty.
The trust undertakes the inspection,
packing. and sale Of the entire crop; to
establish and maintain uniform grades of
fruits, as to size, condition, and quality,
and to procure such packing to be done in
conformity herewith; also to make sales
of such respective grades under its own
trademark and guarantee, and to make
said sales as speedily as possible, and
for the highest obtainable prices. The
grower agrees that he will cultivate and
Gaze for the crops at his own expense
and cure the fruit to the satisfaction of
the inspector employed by the trust AS
soon as the fruit is cured he will deliver
the entire crop to the trust at a packing
house agreed up. the crop thereafter to
remain under the exclusive possession and

Battles With II Great Eagle on the
Brink of "a Precipice

Los ANGELES. Cal. May CD. A.
Baughman. one of the best known hunters
and guides of Catalina Island, has had a
new experience. Several days ago Baugh-
man accompanied E. R. Diekerson and
wife, of New York on a goat hunting trip
on the west side of the island. While the
guide was looking for goats. his path led
him along the brink of a precipitous cliff
overhanging the ocean near a little harbor.
When in most dangerous position,
where he had to cling closely to the rocky
wall to avoid sliding over a precipiee 100
feet high. mammoth eagle swooped down
upon Baughman and attempted to beat him
OH the cliff Again and again the big bird
rose in the air and descended upon him
with laundering wings. Another eagle sat
on rock near by seemingly enjoying the
sport Baughman finally secured a frmer
foothold and was able to fight the bird
with his gun. The eagle then gave up the
combat.

FOR THE KAISER'S PRIZE.
Saengcrbund Directors Hold an Inn

NEW YORK. May 6.-Forty directors Of
the Northeastern saengerbuud, which with

charge the great singing festival to be held

to settle questions concerning the festival
One of these related to the United Sing
ers, of Brooklyn, and was in regard to the
Singers participation in the competition
for the Kaiser's prize. The Singers had
been much criticised. Outside organizations
maintained that the society was not partl-
cipating in any other prize singing con-
tests, and had all the opportunity to de-
vote itself to reheaTsing for the Kaiser
prize. On account also of the Singers at
titude in competing for the Kaiser's prize.
societies from other cities threatened TO
withdraw from the prize contest. This was
the most important question which con-
fronted the delegates today and during a
debate which lasted five hours ten motions
were lost The eleventh motion. made by
II. Z. Hess. of Long Island City. to permit
every society belonging to the Northeastern
Saengerbund, of which there are more than
40, to participate, was unanimously
passed.

The Porto Rican Thunderboit.


The decision by United State court
that the Constitution extended to Porto
Rico with the flag. and that Congress las
no right to legislate for territory not
covered by the Constitution. is terrific
blow to the trusts and the Administration
they control. The probable effect Upon
the campaign is worrying the leaders of
the combination greatly. If the Admins
tration continues to prevent test cases
from reaching the Supreme Court until
after its adjournment in June. the coun-
try will note the fact and assume. what
is a notorious fact. that Mr.. Mckinley
and his advisers know that the highest
tribunal in the land will decide exactly
as the Federal Court in Minnesota has.
This state of things badly rattles the
Republican machine plan to have the
Philadelphia platform declare unequivo-
cally that the Constitution does not go
with the flag. 1t will not do for the plat
form makers to fall back upon the argu-
ment that Congress knows more about
the Constitution than a United States
Judge. Its acts have been too frequently
declared unconstitutional end erased from
the statutes for that. &c. very neat and
effective dilemma is presented. The Min
nesota decision will stand unless It be
reversed. There is not the ghost of a
chance that it will be. On the other hand.
it is certain to be affirmed. If the Ad-
ministration allows the Supreme Court an
opportunity to speak, away goes the Porto
Rican infamy, and the unconstitutional
tax on domestic trade. and overheard
go the moaopolies OF the oil. sugar, to-
bacco, and rum trusts, as far as Porto
Rico and other american islands are con-
cerned.
Then the Hanna, Mckinley, and trust
combination would have a sorry time of
it to defend their course before the peo-
pie. They realize the oppressive fact and
tremble in their boots 1t may be assumed
with the utmost confidence that the Presi-
dent is very sorry by this time that he
did not stick to the plain duty" ideas OF
last December which he derived from the
first Magoon opinion. That opinion. 1t
is interesting TO note, agreed in every es- !
sential particular with the recent decision |
of the Federal Court.

STEEL WORKS FOR MEXICO.
American Capital Largely Interested
in the New Enterprise.


NEW YORK. May 6.-Among the recen.
large investments for the development OF
enterprises in the Republic OF Mexico Is the
formation of syndicate which will erect
large iron and steel works at Monterey
Mexico. calling for an outlay OF upward OF
SO. 600, goo. Among those largely interest
ed in this enterprise are the estate of Eu-
gene Kelly. Spencer Trask, and Milmoa &
Co, bankers, of Monterey and Camargo
Mexico. The elder Milmoa in this firm Is
a father-in-law OF a son of the late Eugene
Kelly, who has been instrumental in inter-
esting American capital in tie develop
ment of the large iron deposits located on
property belonging to the Mexican banking
firm.
Contracts have already been made for
the building of tramways connecting the
mines with the proposed site for the iron
and steel plant, and work has begun upon
the furnaces to be used In turning the
crude ore into pig iron. A steel plant and
rail mill will be added.
The coal which viii be used in the WORKS
will be supplied from the bitumious de-
posts belonging to corporation organ
izei some months ago by Spencer Trask *
Co. These mines are now connected by a
branch line with the Mexican Central, and
the coal will be carried from the mines
to the steel plant under a tonnage contract
with that railroad. Developments of this
character are beneficial to the railway
properties in Mexico. as they supply
large amount of crude material for hauling
and create new tonnage of finished prod
ucts, much of which will be consumed in
the Interior and the balance be exported
from ports on he Gulf of Mexico.
