railroad facilities. I have said that
we will make that city one of the
| principal eastern terminals Of our
system, and it is to be city OF i'm
portance, but at the same time l re-
gard the all rail routes as being as far
in advance of waterways, as an sb-
stract proposition, as the waterways
were an advance on the OK team. So,
Ell Paso may some day be q great IL
land railroad point.
"Transcor tinental railroads have
| little to fear from the coming Mica
ragua canal. 1t is practicable, the
building of this new Waterway" and
Mr.. Huntington reverted to his speech
before the Galveston chamber OF COM
MERGE, in which he had said that the
Nicaragua canal, if built, would cost
$3.50, 900, 600 and the principal benefit
derived from it would be to the own
ers of foreign vessels. The revenue
from the canal, be said, wouldn't be
sufficient to keep up the expenses of it's
maintenance. He also used other ar
guments to prove that the canal was
impracticable from a commercial
standpoint. His opinion Is biased on
sixty years experience in the trans
portation business and he believed
it was entitled to some considera-
tion.''
'Since this Is so," concluded Mr..
Hun ting ton, SCI Paso may hope to be
the great central railway point of the
future in the southwest"
But he offered no direct encourage
ment from his road. and gave no indi-
alton that Ell Paso would interest
them as had Galveston.
TAKEN FOR A DRIVE.
Collector Moses Dillon, OF this port,
an old friend of Mr.. Huntington g, sug-
ested short drive over the city, and
the president gratefully ecceded.
When he returned to the station he
was met by President Sam J. Freuden-
thai, of the chamber of commerce.
From his brief conversation he seemed
really to have been impressed with
some features of FL Paso's growth.
Il am really sorry he said to Mr..
Prudential, that i could not stop
over here longer and see more of the
city. and l am really surprised to see
the amount of building going on. Your
town certainly as every evidence of life
and business activity, and the Southern
Pacific will be glad to do what 1t may
in helping you to build it up"
MAY BE LOOKING FOR SITE.
1t was suggested by a railroad man
that the little excursion of the two
Hu ntingtons down the line of the S. 2.
to a point west of Oregon street was
not so much for the purpose of looking
out for new switching arrangements
as to look at the proposed site for de-
pot.

MR.. RUSSELL'S REPLY.

Commenting on the above letter,
Secretary Russell said to HERALD
reporter:
1.-Two members of the commission
party drove hack to the cars after the
smelter visit While we were still waiting
l asked the two when the commission ers
would return. They replied that, as
the commissioners had taken another
drive across the river. it might be near
the supper hour, 1880 O'Clock, before
they returned. Having already waited
half an hour, our party had no desire
to prolong the suspense an hour and q
half longer. The simple fact is that
the secretary of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, after consulting
the commissioners, made an appoint
to reep."

Despite the postal frauds and the signs

IN the American provisional government of
Cuba. there remains reasonable BELIEF on
the part of the people of this country that
the Cubans may find beneficial Inspiration
In the United States. through close study
OF its institutions. Naturally, 1t has been
impossible to transplant the most sugges-
tive symbols of Americanism to Cuban soil
in the process of temporary guardianship.
L: is therefore fortunate that opportunity is
now at hand. through the visit of 1900
Cuban school teachers to Harvard Univer-
sity for the summer, to afford a close in
spection Of the United States by the men
and women who are to play the important
part Of educators in the regeneration. A

A Pair of BOOdlerB.

The democrats are making good deal
CUT Of the Addicks episode at Philadelphia.
They find in 1t another evidence of the
power of money over the republican party.
and therefore another reason why that
party should be overthrown. The episode
was anything but credtable to the re-
publicans. That so unsavory a politician
as the Delaware boss should have won
recognition at the hands of a national con-
vention. and been strengthened by 1t for
another assault on the decent politics of
the state, must be a source of humiliation
to many members of the partv outside of
Delaware. 1t cannot very well be ex-
planned except upon the score that Mr..
Addicks has made an impression with his
money at home. and in campaign when
every electoral vote may be valuable he
must be reckoned with.
But what sort of preaching Ia this for the
democrats to be indulging in? Are they
keeping up with the news of the day? Are
they not aware that Mr. Clark of Montana
Is moving on Kansas City by special train
and accompanied by crowd of cheering
retainers? Is 1t difficult TO understand
what that means? Is Ii difficult to forecast
what Mr.. Clark's reception will be? Is
there any risk in saying that he will be
made to feel very much at home, and that
In return for that recognition he will whoop

going to the polls to vote for the Nebras-

man aspire to be Mr.. Bryan's running mate?
Why put up the bars against him when a
Newport lounger like o. H. p. Belmont

Mr.. Suzer may not be chosen at Kansas
City. probably will rot be, but that will
not dispose of him or of his following. II
Mr.. Bryan IS elected President. Mr. Sulzer

Importance or effect on the mundane

diameter-only four times the mere earth
In magnitude-and Is by no means unusual
The discoverer argues from 1t that more

ceptionally hot weather That We shall
have hot weather in July and August Is
quite probable. If those hot days come Of
course the sun spot theorists will attribute
them to the spots. If the summer should
assign the same cause: and If there should
be rapid changes there would be the same
attempt to trace the relation of these
changes to the sun spots. AS a matter of
fact. experience has failed to show that
the sun spots produce any particular kind
of weather: and the public will do well to
make up its mind to take the hot with the
cool as philosophically as possible.
