pointment of Charles S. Francis, editor
and proprietor of the Troy, N. Y,

Greece. Roumania and Servia. Twenty
nine years ago President Grant con-
ferred the same honor upon Mr.. Fran
cis' father. the late John NJ. Francis,
founder and for well-nigh half a CEN
tury editor of the Troy Times. The
senior Francis, who afterward served
his country with distinguished ability
as minister to Portugal and later as
minister to Austria, took with him to
Athens to serve as his secretary the
son who nowis to return to the court of
Greece in the capacity which his father
fulfilled nearly generation earlier.
This double honor is without prece-
dent In the American diplomatic SER

both by the personal merit of the two
recipients and by the influential and
progressive journal which they each In
turn have owned and directed with
such conspicuous ability and success.
will be freely conceded by all who are
familiar with the facts. The new min
lister to Greece is man of exceptional
energy, influence and public spirit.
Whatever he undertakes he carries
through, and pauses only when its sue
cess is established commandingly. He
will make an indefatigable representa-
tive Of American interests In the coun-
tries to which he Is accredited and 1t is
safe to predict that this mission will be
only the beginning Of series of as
signments, each representing we'll

will be taken on the two
amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty
which have received the approval of
the committee on foreign relations, and
which will undoubtedly pass. One of
these strikes from the original draft Of
the treaty Article III, which binds the
contracting parties to bring the treaty
to the notice of the other powers and
to invite them to adhere to it. This
elision Is advocated as essential to the
integrity Of the Monroe doctrine, al
though the opinion seems far-fetched.
The other amendment adds an article
setting forth that the present treaty is
to be understood as superseding in its
entirety the Clayton-Bulwer compact OF
1850, which pledged us to a partnership
with Great Britain. AS thus amended,
including the Davis amendment which
was adopted one week ago. the treaty
will provide in substance as follows:
That, with the understanding that
the Clayton Bulwer treaty Is now void,
the United States shall be free to build
: and exclusively provide for the regu-
' lation and management Of an isthmian
: canal, subject to the following rules: \
~. The canal shall be free and open, in time OF
war as in time of peace, to the vessels OF COM
n,ercc and OF OF all nations, terms of en-
tire equality. SO that there shall be dscrimin-
: alton against any nation or its citizens or sub
. jects in respect OF the conditions or charges OF
traffic, otherwise.
2. The canal shall never be boekadcd. nor
lha ria nf ha ,iAal
OF hostility be committed within ii.
y 8. Vessels Of of belligerent shall not
rcvctual nor take any stores in the canal except
= so far as may be strictly necessary; and the
transit OF such vessels through the canal shall be
effected with the least possible delay. in ac-
y cordance with the regulations in force and
: with only such intermssion as may result from
the necessities OF the service Prizes shall be in
all respects subject to the same rules as vessels
? OF war Of the beigerents.
4. No belligerent shall embark or disembark
troops, munitions OF war, or warlike materials
p In the canal except In case OF accidental hind
rance OF the transit, and In such case the
! transit shall be resumed with all possible dis
patch.
. s. The provisions of this article shall apply
TO waters adjacent to the canal within three
marine miles OF either end. Vessels OF war OF a
belligerent shall not remain in such waters
longer than twenty-four hours at any one time
except in case OF distress, and In such case shall
\ depart soon as possible but vessel OF war OF
one belligerent shall not depart within twenty
four hours from the departure OF a vessel of war
OF the other belligerent. 1t is agreed, however,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The
two years trance of Miss Elida VIII
bur of San Francisco ended today with
the young woman's death. In Febru-
ary, 1898, she was found unconscious in
her room, with the gas turned on. Usu-
all restoratives were applied, but ply
sicianssicans wer nuable to awake her
proved unavailing. She died peacefully
without recognizing anyone about her
bedside The case attracted the atten-
ton of the medical fraternity through
out the country.
According to the Bakersfield Califor--
nian, District Attorney Ahern of Kern.
county has just given an opinion OF
considerable Importance, on the as
sessment of personal property for
school purposes Hitherto such prop
erty, when not secured by real estate,
has escaped taxation for these pur-
pose, and a heavy burden has fallen
on the landowners in the Impoverished,
mountain districts. Attorney Ahern,
however, after looking up the law in
the matter, announces. that it is the
duty of the assessor to collect school
taxes at the same time with other per-
sonal property taxes. q
The Norwegian steamer I'eander,
which has just reached San Francisco

Fargo's Wealth.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The
will Of Calvin F. Fargo, the retired
liquor merchant, who died February
25, was filed for probate today.
The estate left by the decedent is VAL
ued at $75O,oOO. Fargo was a bachelor
over 80 years old at the time Of his
death, and came to this State for the
benefit of his health in 1849. He engaged
in the wholesale liquor traffic in this
cit and amassed a fortune.
His will was executed February IA,
1896. The testator declares that he
was never married, but in the event
that some w :" may prove or be adj
judged to have bee-- his wife, he pro-
vides that she shall be paid $50. The
bulk of his estate is bequeathed to rel
atives and friends

Spain's Grab.

WASHINGTON March 5.-Private
information has been received in Wash
ington by mail from Manila that about
six months ago German warship Wis
tied Sulu Islands, and an officer, or
officers of the vessel endeavored to per-
suade the Sultan to declare himself
and his possessions under the protec
ton of the German crown. The sender
of this information says the Sultan re-
jected the attempt to get him to repu
diate his acknowledgment of Ameri-
can authority.
While this report would hardly have
received credence here few weeks
ago, the suspicion that Germany is be-
hind Spains attempt to regain the is
lands of Sibutu and Cagayan Sulu, on
the claim that they were not trans
ferred to the United States by the Paris
treaty falls in closely with the new in
formation. The man responsible for
the statements concerning the visit Of
the German warship to the Sulu group
is described as thoroughly reliable.

An Empress Who Wrest.es.

The Empress Dowager Of China is
described by an English lady, who has
spent the greater part of her life in the
Celestial Empire, as much more re-
markable woman than most Europeans
suppose She is an ardent painter, and
her pictures are said to be admirable
specimens of Chinese art. Strange as
it may seem, her Majesty is also said
to be fond Of wrestling, and frequently
INDUCES in this rather virile form Of
exercise. She is well read, Is fond Of
European music, and has some skill as
q pianist. She is said both by her
friends and enemies to be absolutely
without any sense of fear, and, need
less to say, her life has been attempted
an infinite number Of times.

For reasons not altogether apparent
from an American point Of view, con-
siderable interest has recently been
manifested in Congress in the Panama
route for the inter-oceanic canal. 1t is
easy enough to understand that the
former promoters Of the ill-fated enter
prise which. wrecked the reputation Of
nearly every one connected with 1t
would be glad to have the United States
take the big Panama ditch off their
hands, but there are reasons in abund-
ance why this government should per-
severe in the Nicaragua scheme in pref
erence. Senator Morgan, perhaps tie
beSt-informed man on this particular
subject in the United States Senate, is
in favor Of going ahead with the Mica
ragua canal without waiting for the
report of the commission now consider
ing and looking into the Panama route.
Among other reasons the Alabama Sen
ator offers for preferring the more
northern route is one that ought to have
strategic relations of the canal Senator
Morgan puts the case very clearly and
briefly in these words: eff after we
had constructed a canal at Panama
these republics Costa Rica and Nicara-
gua), backed by the other Central
American States, or by other countries,
should open a ship canal over this
route, they would cut our line of com
munication on both sides of the 18TH
mus with a shorter line to our coasts,
and, in the military sense, would inter-
pose between us and our base of opera
tions. That such a condition would be
embarrassing is the mildest form in
which to speak Of situation that
would be itnolerable and perilous in
the highest degree. If there are to be
two canals across the isthmus in COM
ing time, one of them must be a canal
under American control, and it is in
dispensable to our safety that it should
be located on the Nicaragua route"

LOADING WHEAT.
TO ESCAPE TAXATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, March. s. Dur
ing the past forty-eight hours the load
ing of wheat on the British ships in
this city and Port Costa has been
rushed with phenomenal speed. In all
eighteen vessels, carrying an aggregate
Of over $4,000 tons, have received all or
nearly the whole Of their cargos. The
cause of the hurry in getting the grain
on board is said to be the fact that to-
day the owners must make a sworn
statement of the amount they have on
hand for the information Of the as
SCISSOR.
If on foreig vessels, the taxes on
the amount mentioned. amounting to
nearly $4,000, cannot be collected in
this State
