hals al westminster, but instead should per-
tect their own organization with a view TO

Pacific. In other words. Great Britain or any other European power under the agreement would be in q position to forbid the United States the use of the Nicaragua canal in time of war if the American government desired to send, through this American waterway an American fleet to protect our Pa cific coast from a hostile attack. Me Kinley and Hay have agreed to the proposition that this country shall build and pay for the canal and that when that is done it shall not be per mitted to fortify it or exercise any more control over it than if it had not spent dollar on it. Will an American senate dare ratify such treaty? Hanna announces that it will. The man of the dollar mark believes that the administration which he bosses is strong enough to set American opin- ion at det1nance in this as in other mat ters. If two-thirds of the senate obey the cracks of the Hanna whip the Hay Pauncefote treaty will be ratified.

A WITTY DUKE.

Although few kinder hearted men have ever lived than the eighth Duke of Beaufort. yet he detested anything in the shape of snobbery or pushing He would raise his hat to a charwom- an with the same politeness that he would to a duchess. but pattern Of good manners himself, he had no tol- eration for bad ones in others. wheth- CT they were princes or peasants.
 At lawn meet as it was called of the Badminton Fox hounds-a pack kept and paid for solely by the duke himSelf-there was, as usual, q large assemblage of his grace's own partic- ular friends and members of the hunt The duke on this occasion gave q hunt breah hfast for those he personally in- vited at Badmnton. OcAs certain baker not only rode to the meet on the lawn. but coolly walked into the house and took a seat at the breakfast table. The duke. kindly as he was. could not stand such impudent conduct as this, sc, rising from his seat, he said quiet ly. "When we want the buns, MT Smith. we will send for you. thanks" And the baker beat a hasty retreat.

There is considerable gossip in Washington concerning the candidacy for the senate, from Nebraska. of As sistant Secretary Meiklejohn. He spent the greater part of the cam paign on the stump instead of in the war department, and now he is likely to spend more time in Nebraska than in Washington, until the senators are elected, while his salary goes right along. In addition to being allowed to neglect his official duties, MT Meikle- john wants the administration to back his candidacy for the senate. If Mir Mckinley does that, Nebraskans in Washington say he will raise the big gest sort of a row among republicans of the state.
