THE HEPBURN CANAL BILL
There is Good Prospect Of It's Adop-
tion.
Regarded as a Most Valuable Subsidy
to American Shipping-InlpOrt- :
ance of Control.

Mr.. Hepburn Of iowa, chairman of the
House committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce, whose bill for the construction
of the Nicaraguan canal was reported from
the committee with favorable recommenda-
tion. says that he regards the construction
of this canal by the United States govern
ment as the most valuable and effective
ship subsidy that the government could
contrtve. To go to Hong Kong from New
York through the Suez canal, he says,
would cost a. 60O0-ton vessel about $4,000
In canal tolls. The relief from this toll and
the saving of about 800 miles by going
through the Nicaraguan canal would be the
most effective subsidy, he says. that could
be devised
Importance of Control.
He regards 1t as of the greatest impor-
tance that this government should have
absolute control of the canal, so that the
advantage Of 1t shall accrue to the interest
OF American shipping and naval strategy.
Therefore, he deems it unnecessary to
await the report of the commission appoint
ed by authority of the last Congress to in
vestigate the Panama and other routes,
since this government could not acquire the
another government
To Press the Bill.
1t is the intention of the committee to
press this bill. and the opinion is now very
generally entertained in Congress that
there is good prospect thai the measure
will be adopted, though 4 month or SO ago
1t was thought that the authorization of a
new commission had delayed the, matter
for year or more. 1t Is felt that the
policy Of expansion to be of fullest value,
must include such public improvements and
enterprises as will encourage enterprise and
enable our people to take advantages of op-
portunities opened for the development Of
the remote Pacific trade. Upon this same
theory the policy announced for this ses-
sion Of Congress not to have river and
harbor bill will meet with resistance

1taly's Desires Regarding the Talulah |
LyBehers. /
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 1gLPLEss
Disposition of the Case Depends
Upon State Court.
AUTHORITIES EMBARRASSED

The Italian government has signified to
the government of the United States in the
polite and courteous method known to
modern diplomacy wish that the persons
who were guilty of lynching. the five Ital-
ians at Talulah, La, last spring should be
punished. Heretofore in cases of the lynch
ing of Italians the matter has been COM
promised by the payment of an indemnity,
but that does not meet the present demand
of the Italian government.
Left to the State.
AS under the existing law the trial and
prosecution of such cases as this is left en-
tirely to the state authorities. the national
government is well nigh helpless to meet
the request Of the italian government. The
state Of Louisiana, through its governor,
has been repeatedly appealed to by the
national government, through the Secretary
of State, to meet the demands of Justice
But SO unsatisfactory has been the result
obliged to undertake an investigation
through Its own agents to learn the facts
attending the lynching. The result of this
investigation, which was conducted through
an agent Of the Department Of Justice, is
now on file But the United States govern
ment at present cannot make the report the
basis of any legal proceedings against the
lyncherS. The result of this embarrassing
position will probably be fresh representa-
tions to Congress by the President, urging
the speedy passage of the pending bills in
tended to remove from state courts juris-
dicuon in cases where persons claiming
treaty protection are the victims, and
transferring Jurisdiction over them to the
federal courts.
State Department Embarrassed.
1t is said that the State Department is
very much embarrassed by the lack of
remedial action in cases like, the Talulah
lynchlng, in the prosecution of claims
against foreign governments for out
RACES alleged to have been committed upon
citizens of the United States. The govern
ment has already been charged with incon-
sistency In its treatment of such cases. in
insisting upon full and prompt redress and
zens killed in foreign cor,ntres, and then
asserting lack Of jurisdiction and response
blllty, owing to the dual form OF national
and state governments in the United
States, in cases where subjects Of foreign
countries are the victims of mob violence in
the United States. In all cases where the
United States has paid fndernnities Tor the
killing of foreigners by mobs, ETC.. 1t has
invariably stated that it was done as an act
OF comfy and not az recognition of ma
tional liability.
Effect on Our Claims.
The apparent failure Of the United States
to render complete Justice In the cases Of
the lynched Italians, 1t Is feared, will be
used by the Turkish government as an ar
gument for delay, If not reputation, In the
large claim in the case Of the American bl-
cyclist Lenz. alleged to have been murdered
by brigands near Erzeroum, TOR which out
rage 1t Is said the United States govern
ment has asked for $4,000 Indemnity.

THE SHIPPING SUBSIDY BILL.
Hearing Resumed Before the Senate
Committee on Commerce.

committee on commerce.
The Senate committee on commerce today
resumed it's hearing on the Hanna-Payne
shipping subsidy bill. Mr.. Thomas Clyde
of the Clyde steamship line was recalled.
He took up the cost of the construction of
vessels. their maintenance and operation,
showing that the figures under the Ameri-
can flag were much higher than under any
other flag. The cost of production for ma
terials and maintenance would in his opin-
ion, gradually decrease as the demand for
them increased. So that If by the enact
ment into law of the pending bill the de-
mand for vessels should increase, as it
naturally would. the cost of construction
would just as naturally decrease in brief
course of time
Mr.. Clyde said that what 1t was desired
to do by the bill was to encourage low
speed yessels-vessels that would at low
cost extend American export trade. He
said that his company. on the day the bill
became a law, would sign a contract for
the construction of two vessels to cost in
the aggregate about $1,OUO,OOO President
Munson of the Munson steamship line had
stated that his company would place at
least 100000 tons of shipping that was now
under foreign flags under the American
flag. He had doubt that other lines
would do the same thing.
F. b. Thurber, representing the United
States Export Association. said the uni
versal belief among American manufac-
turers and shippers was that this country
must have merchant marine to export
American products. The bill. he said, was
q potent factor in the interests of the great
masses OF the laboring people of the United
States.
Mr. Theo. c. Search of Philadelphia.
president OF the American Manufacturers
Association, maintained that the enactment
of the pending bill would be of immense
benefit to the manufacturers of the country
and would largely increase American ex-
port trade.

TO IDENTIFY NEW BABIES.
Johns Hopkins Hospital Surgeons Hit
Novel Plan.

BALTIMORE, January 18.-The physi-
clans and attendants Of the obstetric de-
partment Of Johns Hopkins Hospital have
hit upon happy solution Of the difficulty
they have always experienced in distin-
gushing one young baby from another.
There are always from one to two dozen
newborn babes In the obstetrical ward; and
TO the Inexperienced eye they all look alike
The physicians were afraid Of a "Pinafore'
mix up and determined to tag the babes as
they arrive in this world
On a small square Of adhesive plaster is
written the baby's name. This plaster tag
is then stuck tightly on the baby's back,
just between the shoulder blades. The tag
is waterproof. SO 1t is not affected by the
baths given the baby. 1t holds on tightly
until the time comes for the baby and Its
mother to leave the hospital, when the tag
may be readily pulled off without causing
the baby any pain.

rEsOLATION IN ITS TRACK.
Blizzard in Southwest New Mexico
Worst Ever Known There.

Worst Ever Known There.
GORDO, N. NJ, January 13.-Details Of
the blizzard which swept over southwest
ern New Mexico Tuesday and Wednesday
are coming In and they indicate that it was
the severest storm ever experienced in the
region. The velocity of the wind was ter
rible, all roads and trails were obliterated
and the driving snow made 1t impossible
for travellers to see their way in the storm.
When the storm abated, wagons which had
been abandoned were found strewn all over
the section. Several fatalities are reported.
1t is feared that many sheep herders lost
their lives. Thousands of head of stock
perished and it is estimated that the loss
will aggregate over half a million dollars

As TO SOILED SKIRTS.

The question. How can I keep the
bottom o: my skirt from getting soIled
on rainy daysT' which has perplexed
women ever since the coming into
vogue Of the long skirt. has at last been
solved by n Chicago woman. who has
brought forth the most unique means
at the same time the simplest that has
ever been suggested.
In the past the most common-in fact
the only-means adopted by women for
keeping their trails out Of the mud has
been by holding II up with the right
hand. Even this has never been quite
satisfactory and has often proved a
great Inconvenience to the fair sex. Is
peciaiiy was this true when n woman
was forced 20 carry several bundles In
her hands or arms. which often made IL
impossible for her TO hold up her skirt.
The inventive genius OF many persons.
both men and women. has been brought
into play. with the result that many
have been produced TO re-
iieve the woman from holding her skirt
up. but each one has disappeared as
rapidly az 10 made its appearance and
the perplexed women have been COM
PEELED 20 70 back 20 the old tlresome
way. The result was that the majority
% the women OF this country as well as
81 foreign countries jumped at the fad
which permitted them 10 cut several
inches from their skirts, but this new
dress was not satisfactory 20 all and
many chung 20 the old style and suffer-
cd the Inconvenience.

WOMEN IN COLORADO.

Colorado is one of the glories Of the
woman suffragists.
Possibly it may become State in
which male suffrage does not exist, be-
cause there are no males left.
This too complete triumph of woman
suffrage seems indicated by some sta
tistics which are giving the Coloradoans
pause and making them feel that they
are only a remnant destined to be swept
away by the superior sex.
There are more females than males
in the State. The birth statistics are
distinctly unfavorable to the dethroned
tyrant, Man. The disproportion is not
actually great yet. but it is disheart-
ening when the death statistics are
looked at. In the first six months of
1900, 7s6 more males than females died.
Not so many males born and more die,
gloomy visions rise in the minds Of
the vanishing race of men in Colorado
What are all her treasures underneath
the earth IL her men go into it so quick
ly?
The men of Colorado are notably po-
lite. they may not all believe in wom-
an suffrage. but they are willing to give
the woman suffragists a free field.
a maniess state, a commonwealth of
woman, female Utopia and paradise
of stateswomen-this is something that
man may be willing to die for
To be sure. there might be reserva-
tons where men could be preserved as
specimens. a wonder and show, as
buffaloes are: and importation might be
encouraged. But not all the Inhabitants
of other States are as urbane as those
of Colorado.

During the heavy rain which fell
few Sundays ago the attention OF
large crowd at State and Madison
streets, In Chicago, was attracted by
handsomely attired woman wearing a
long trailing satin skirt. Remarks were
made on all sides concerning the prob
able appearance OF the pretty skirt af-
ter few hours walking on the muddy
streets. but the persons who were max
ing remarks were suddenly surprised
when was revealed TO them the new
mode Of carrying the trailing skirt. AS
the woman neared the curling and pre-
pared TO cross the street n small pug
dog which had been following her
rushed up and took the trail between
his teeth and held II out of the mud as
she rapidly crossed. When she had
reached the opposite side of the street
the dog loosened his hold on the skirt
and let IL trail along. while he kept
pace at the side of his mistress. wait
ing for the next crossing.
The women who had witnessed the
exhibition gazed after the vanishing
woman in wonderment. They spoke or
the great success OF the novel idea and
many resolves were Immediately made
to purchase a pug-many of them al
ready owned one-and teach him the
art OF carrying the skirt. II this prac-
tice should be adopted and become of
general use II Is probable that the golf
skirt will make rapid exit from the
wardrobe of the modern woman and
that the future will see every woman
ON the street accompanied by a guar
dian Of her skirt In the shape Of pug
or some other breed OF CANNES.
