Seize the Isthmus

Seize the Isthmus.
LONDON, Nov. 26.--All the morning pa
pers discuss South. American affairs. The
Daily Telegraph says:
THE United States is acting in strict
accordance with it's diplomatic rights, but
it may find it extremely difficult to adhere
to its ideal programme
The Daily News says: ''All this plays
straight into the hands of the United
States, and that energetic power has not
been slow to take advantage of it by
forceful acts which may a., any moment
develop into an occupation of the 18TH
mus"
The Morning Post, which hardly ex-
poets the isthmds squabbles to have any
serious effect upon the relations of the
great powers, says: Germany will not
indulge in any special risks or exertions
over a mere point of honor in the Vene-
zuelan- dispute. Without expressing an
opinion or the abstract justice of the
claim of the United States to control the
isthmus, we believe no single power is
likely to oppose it. The Monroe doctrine
ts hardly likely to be contested so long as
the European powers are divided among
themselves.

High Railroad Rates.

The first news of the proposed combine
came from a representative OF Mime
sofa syndicate now in this city, who mas
been looking into the situation in the
Northwest with view to locating sew
eral large milling plants. This man has
been already discouraged by the fact that
the mills now in existence produce more
than a supply for coast and export de-
mands and the further fact that exorbi-
tant rates practically preclude the ship
ment of lumber east OF Omaha.
Secretary Victor H. Breckman of the
present lumbcrmen's organization, while
saying that the announcement of the for
nation of the combine is premature, de-
clares that the situation demands the de-
velopment of just such a plan. Except
for the phenomenal demand for building
purposes in the coast cities during. the
past year, Breckman says many of the
northwestern mills would have. been
forced out of business. The railroads
have made it impossible to market any
of the product in the East, and the coast
demand cannot be safely relied on for any
length of time. With fleet of sailing
vessels Breckman says the coast lumber
can be landed in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and other Atlantic ports for less
than it costs to put it into Omaha at
present.
