an actress. He gilded the ball on the top
OF the flagstaff of the dome of the Pulitzer

watched him with anxiety. He worked at
old Trinity and Grace churches, helped
place Diana on the tower Of Madison square
garden and handled the preliminary rigging
on the high Poughkeepsie bridge across

many advantages In favor OF Houston as a
wholesale market. When the buyer consid-
era the benefits 70 he derived from Hous

WHAT Is IT.

II anyone can tell by the dispatches
now being sent out from Washington
what the new treaty in regard TO the
Panama canal really is. he can take
his place among the ranks of the
mind readers, says the Peoria Jour
nal. The latest dispatch is to the eff
feet that neither party to the treaty
has given up ANYTHING. and that both
are satisfied. We are informed that
the underlying principle of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty-with which Meth
er side is satisfed-has been pre-
served. 1t is also stated that ''the
new convention will provide q water
way neutral at all times, and open to
the commerce of the world" We had
been led to believe from previous dis
patches that this neutrality and this
state of being open to the commerce
of ell nations applied to times of
peace. The concluding sentence is
vested with the same air CT mystery.
1t SAYS: 'A5 for the form of the
treaty. it may be stated that it en-
bodies IN substance the amendments
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which
were adopted by the senate" etc.
As the amendments adopted by the
senate were the ones that were re-
lected by Great Britain. the ordinary
reader will find it a little diffic cult to
understand how, If this be true, there
was no backdown on the part of Great
Britain. 1t would have been inf
nitely better If there had been moth
ing sent out from Washington at all
in regard to the matter. There is an
evident purpose on the part OF these
correspondents to so mystify the mat
ter that there can be no intelligent
discussion of the same by the people
prior to the assembling of congress.
But there is one thing that the repre-
sentatives of the people will probably
bear in mind, and that is that if this
government spends the many millions
that the canal will cost, if it allows
the other nations of the world equal
privileges in the canal in time OF
peace. that it belongs to the country
that will build it, and that it shall be
made a source of strength to US in
time of war. rather than a source OF
weakness. With the extensive coast
line that we would be compslled to
defend, an unfortified canal would he
weak spot that should not be per-
mitted for one moment. The canal
must be fortified. No other arrange
ment will be satisfactory to the Amer
lean people. That is as well under
stood as anything can be. England
can make that concession or we will
take it 1t is a part of the question
OF self preservation.

GIEr FoR WILDEs.

Rear Admiral Frank Wildes, who
was promoted last week to his pres
emit rank as result of the retirement
Of Admiral Schley, is the object of
subscription home enterprise like the
one engineered for Admiral Dewey.
Wildes has been stationed at the Bos-
ton navy yard, and while there seems
to have become very popular. He is
one of the heroes of the battle of Ma
Mia bay, having com manded the
Boston in that engagement.
Since his promotion and assign
ment to q new post, the Boston and
New York people. headed by the Bos-
ton chamber of commerce, have
started a subscription. 1t was at
first proposed to buy him a jeweled
sword. but in view of the peculiar
circumstances of his case. it is now
the intention to raise enough to buy
a house. Admiral Wildes' grand
father fought 10 the engagement of
the war of 1912 between the Chesa-
peake and the Shannon He was q
man of wealth and built fine place
at Weymouth, Mass. This has passed
out of the family and is now owned
by Mr. Putnam, the librarian of the
congressional library. Friends of
Admiral WiIdes would like to buy this
and present 1t to him.

The newspapers of New York and
Brooklyn that have been holding off
and declining to take sides in the
fight against Tammany are gradually
being forced, by the growing heat of
the campaign, to show their hands.
Only three yet hold out. The New
York World and Journal are each
waiting to find out what it's rival in
tends to do. and will then support the
other fellow. Across the river all the
papers have taken sides except the
Brooklyn Eagle, which up to this
time has reserved the right to criti-
else both the fusion and, Tammany
nominees and support neither. The
Eagle, however, shows signs of pre-
pairing TO throw its influence against
Tammany, and in it's issue of Thurs
day makes a demand upon Shepard
for his position as to Chief Devery,
which indicates that it will require
an unequiyocal assurance that Devery
shall go as a condition of supporting
the TAmmany ticket.
