Failure d the Nicaragua Canal Bill
Senator Morgan charges that
improper meaus have been
used to defeat it.

In spite of the most strenuous efforts OF
its friends, extending over the entire Oon.
gress, the Nicaragua Canal Bill could not
not be put through.
1t failed at the close of the session, and
now will have to start all over again.
This has been a keen disappointment to
those who wish to see the Canal built, and
many of them, especially Senator Morgan
of Alabama, express themselves bitterly as
to the result.
The latter, who is Chairman of the Senate
Committee on the Nicaraguan Canal says !:
81 could not imagine more humlliating
destiny for the United States than that we
should be compelled to await the movements
of Great Britain until she got ready to act
hereaftar 10 regard to this matter. Have
we not suffered enough already We
deserve the suffering we have had, in one
sense, because of the wrong we perpetrated
against Costa Rica and Nicaragua when we
put chains upon these States, assisting Great
Britain in that unholy work. We have
gone to them; they have consented that we
shall have these rights, and now we are
invited to abandon them.
{" can see but one reason for that, and
that is that the Panama schema has not yet
been fully tested and there is project OF
making money in. that direction. Hold
down Nicaragua and Costa Rica and the
people of the United States until we can
have q longer time to traffic with nj. Hutin
about the matter. They have probably ten
OF fifteen million dollars in money there
They boast of it in letters addressed to the
President, saying they do not want helT
from the United States at all that they
are not there for that purpose. The money
is there"
There is statement from the one man
| in the United States who understands every
shadow in this dark plot against the Mica
ragua Canal-a statesman and patriot wht
knows how to measure his words.

The Presidents UnctuOuS Words.

President Nc Kinley's inaugural derives
great part Of the proofs which it carries of
the peculiar genius of Its author from the
unstinted abundance which appears therein
of such words and combination of words as
liberty" 'freedom, ,"''obligations," 'honor,'.
'peace," "fervent prayer "horrors of war;"
"great responsibilities" "devotion," 'lever.
emily invoking" "wise and patriotic," "gen'
erous support" Unconstitutional methods, y
"the public will, }" "strong hearts and help
ful hands," "consciense," righteous" s'pa
triot.sm," "integrity and "high purpose" )"
"faith," ''progress," "civilization," "home,"
"loye," '.justlce,o :the fear of God,n SON
ward movement" humanity" "equality, )"
''moderation and fairness" ""order,n safety, ,
"self-goyernment," "hdelity," and ''the
pursuit of happiness"
The address is brief, but it finds room for
all those words and many other such words.
They are associated In the minds and hearts
of the best Americans with the best things
and the best thoughts. We know what they
stand for in our history. We know what
they mean when we nse them in sincerity
and truth in our daily intercourse one with
another. We are not accustomed-pray
God we may never become accustomed
to play ia and loose with those words, or
to thinking that they may mean one thing
in private life and another thing in public
lite, or that they may mean one thing under
our flag in the New World and something
very different under our flag in the Old
World

Named After Him
His Great Work for the Poor of
New York.

The Kings Daughters Settlement of New
York have issued invitations for the formal
opening of their second house, No. 90 Henry
Streep. BISHOP Potter will then name it,
"The Jacob A. Riis House." This is in
recognition of the distinguished service which
newspaper reporter Of this city has rendered
towards the uplifting of the submerged poor
and unfortunate of the East Side.
This reporter, Jacob A. Ris, is Dane
by birth, and even so far back as when
little fellow Of thirteen, in his native town
of Ribe, he used his Christmas gift OF a
Danish mark. of the value of an American
quarter-dollar, to begin the reclamation OF
Rag Hall, one of old Ribe's ramshackle
tenements. Most of his experiences in this
country have been gathered while a police
reporter in Mulberry Street, aud he still pre-
ferS to follow this occupation instead OF &C
cepting the offers of editorial positions which
have been made to him, in order that he
may keep in touch with the conditions that
have been his life study. At the same time,
he has invariably refused salarled positions
in connection With East.Side pbilanthroplc
associations, preferrng TO accomplish acEat
he desired by talking, ,criting, and working
on his onn responsibility. The King of
Denmark last summer conferred upon this
excellent police reporter the order OF tue
Donneborg, thus virtually knightlng him.
Wee President Roosevelt, IN McCtMreS
Magazine, gives brlet character-sketch OF
Mr.. Riis, of which the following is part:
Recently a man, well qualified to pass
Judgment, alluded to Mr.. Jacob A. Rlis as
'the most useful citizen of New York. The
countless evils achich lurk in the dark cor
ners of our civic Institutions, which stalk
abroad in the slums, and have their per-
manent abode in the crowded tenement
houses, have met in Mr.. Riis the most for
midable opponent ever encountered by them
10 New York city. ..... TO Mr.. Ills was
given, In addition to earneStness and zeal,
the great gift of expression, the great git OF
making others see what he saw and teel
what he felt.
F. Moreover, Mr.. Riis possessed the further
great advantage OF having himself passed
through not a few OF the experiences of
which he had to tell. Landing here, young
Danish lad, he had for years gone through
the hard struggle that so often attends even
the brayest and best when they go out with
out money to seek their fortunes in a strange
and alien land. The horror of the police
lodging houses struck deep in his soul, for
he himself had lodged in them. The brut
alty of some of the police he had himself
experienced. He had been mishandled, and
had seen the stray dog which was his only
friend killed for trying, in dumb friendship,
to take his part. He had known what 1t
was to sleep on deor.steps and go days in
succession without food. All these things
he rememt cred, and his work as reporter
on the New York 4" Sun has enabled him
IN the exercise Of his profession to add to
his knowledge.

CHRIS MAGBE DEAD
Senator Quay's Old Adversary
Succumbs.
DEATH FASTENED BY SENATOR
SHIP FIGHT.

Christopher Lyman Magee, Stats Senator
and Republican leader of Pittsburg, died l.
that city few days ago.
During the exciting session of the Legisn
lature two years ago he was attacked by
cancer. Instead of going away to be treated
he was up day and night fighting the re-
election of M. s. Quay to the United States
Senate. When the Legislature adjourned
the disease had gone SO far that it could not
be checked
To keep up the fight against Quay at the
present session of the Legislature Magee
had himself re elected to the State Senate.
He was zoo far gone to be active in the anti
Quay movement and appeared in his seat
but twice. This was to vote against Quay
and the Quay organization of the Senate.
He was keenly disappointed when Quay as
elected, after an interval OF two years.
When Quay's friends passed the Pittsburg
Charter bill, last THURSDAY, tripping all
OF Magee's friends out Of Office, he had a re-.
lapse. The ripper = undoubtedly hastened
his death.

RuSSO-ChineSe Agreement
concerning Nsnthuriil
Russia Claims it is Cnlv
temporary. IS
!
SALIENT FEATURES
OF THE CONVENTION.

The salient features of the Russo Chinese
convention concerning Manchuria are as
follows:
1.-THE Czar consents to allow China to re
sumo the civil government of Manchuria,
but the agreement virtually places complete
control in Russian hands Chinese troops
are excluded, and the moderation of arms is
forbidden. Persons of any other nationally
are excluded from holding official position in
Manchuria or drilling Chinese soldiers or
sailors anywhere in Northern China.
Article seventeen provides that in Man
cburia, Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan no
railway, mining or other concession shall be
granted to persons of any other nationality,
nor can China herself construct any railroad.
On February 10 the British Ambassador
at st. Petersburg, Sir Charles Stewart
Scott, obtained verbal assurances from
Count Lsinsdorf, Russian Minister of For
eign Affairs, that this agreement with China
was only temporary, that Russia had no in
tention If retaining any Chinese territory
and would withdraw from Manchuria as
soon as peace was restored and indemnities
paid.
1t is this assurance that is regarded as
unsatisfactory.
