THE IsrHMIAN CANAL.
Springfield Republican.

A new isthmian canal treaty, accord
Ing to current reports, has been framed
by Mr.. Hay and Ambassador Paunee-
fote, but as yet only general statements
as to its provisions have been pub
lished with any marks Of authority. 1t
appears that Great Britain has now
substantially conceded everything that
was demanded by the Senate when 1t
amended the Inflated treaty of last
winter. although TO be sure Of this one
must await the publication Of the full
text of the new convention. 1t Is our
notion that Lord Lansdowne has Yield
ed all the points which he stuck fast
over a few months ago. Great Britains
International position and the neces.
sity 10 her of Americas friendship led
US TO think that the Senate's amend.
menls 60 the first treaty would be ac-
cepted; 1t now looks as II the conces-
sions had really been made, but with a
considerable saving Of British dignity.
which was perhaps Lord Lansdowne's
chief concern.

EMMELUTH DAY
IN THE HOUSE
The War Paint Statesman Weeps
and Refuses to be,Com-

The sensation in the House yesterday
morning was another resolution by Mr..

1t reads as follows:

leave to report that they have examined
the pay rolls and work of the Offices of
the Secretary and Treasurer and the De-

following to offer in addition to the rec
concentrations handed in with the APP

In the Office of the Secretary We rec
ommend that the salary of recording

In the Judiciary Department we recon-
mend that the item, Salary of stenog-

may be created with which to hire ste

RACE FOR CHINESE MARKET.
The Great Advantage to Shippers OF
Being Near the Princi-
pal Points.

It would be tedious 10 explain at
length how It has come about that the
British shipper finds il a positive disad-
vantage TO be 1000 miles nearer the
Chinese market than his chief com
petitors, says John Foord, the seere-
tary Of the American Asiatic associa-
ton in Frank Lesie's Popular Monthly.
1t may suffice to say that the regulat-
ing influence Of the Pacific routes has
had something TO DO with this appar-
ent anomaly. The distance from New
York TO Shanghai. by way Of San Fran
cisco is only 1920 miles, or 2.440 miles
less than that by way of Suez. Itisneed-
less to say that over the portion
of this which is continental, there
can be no effective competition with
ocean rates Of transportation. The
full rate between New York and Shang-
hal, by way Of Suez. would not be suf-
icient to carry freight overland from
New York to San Francisco. But mer-
chandise destined for China does not
come to New York, unless for some Euf-
hcient reason, and when great trans
continental system is ready to collect
it at all points Of production nearer
the Pacific port and TO make very mod
crate rates on it BY pro-rating with Pa
cifc steamship lines, the eastern route
must meet the cut or lose the traffic.
As matter Of actual experience, the
ships travelling the eastern route find
no difficulty in undertaking their rivals
on the Pacific, and unless where time
is an important element, or the freight
IS especially valuable, very few goods
manufactured on this side Of the con-
tinent find their way TO a Pacific port
for shipment to China or japan

THAT OCTOPUS.

Reform papers have often employed
significant cartoons. For instance,
trusts, combines and monopolies were
represented as a huge octopus with its
tentacles fastened, not only on Ameri-
ca, but on Europe, Asia and African
fact, on che world. The opposition
laughed; some said, there are no trusts
and others, admitting their existence,
said they were a good thing. The rep
resentation aforesaid was no fictio :
but a fact. Take, for instance, the
Standard Oil monopoly. In northern
Chihuahua, Mexico, where the writer
was last summer, the Standard Oil
company owns 100000 acres of land in
the Casas Grandes valley. The oil
company which controls the supply in
Mexico is the Waters Pierce Oil com
pany. Coal oil and gasoline there cost
the consumer 81 a gallon, in Mexican
money, or about 80 cents in American
money. The Waters-Pierce company
is the Standard OIL company under a
branch name. Some time ago one of
the representatives of this company
was in GOOdland, and in conversation
on the subject of the company's hold
ings aud extensive operations, he said
the Standard Oil company not only in
Mexico had large property interests,
but also in the South American states,
in Australia, New Zealand aud differ
ent parts of the world. He made no
apology for the statement, as it is no
secret that the great combinations are
embracing the world.
