WoRDg oF REAsON ABoUr THE cANAL.


London dispatches yesterday quoted utter
ances OF the English press about the canal
treaty in marked and agreeable contrast to
those upon which we commented the other day.
II is evident that large and influential element
at the British capital has not been misled by
the pessimistic and alarmist reports OF some
correspondents. but sees the situation IL
really is and favors dealing with it on practical
rather than on imaginative grounds. The Daily
Telegraph" is, we are certain, exactly right in
saying there is no reason to believe the Senate
intended, in amending the treaty. to affront the
British Government There was no such In
tention and there would have arisen no
thought of any had ii not been for the inju-
dicious utterances on both sides of the At
lantic which THE Daily Telegraph" properly
condemns. That journal does well. also. In
pointing out that. despite the talk of irrespon-
sible speakers and writer's, the responsible gov
ernments of the two countries have but very
slight ground-lt might have said no real
ground-for complaint the one of the other. II
is encouraging 10 observe the tone in which

rejOices 10 see that sentiment against so doing
IS gaining ground in America. Yes; il is not
only gaining ground. but il has all along Occu-
pied dominant ground. The United States does
not cancel international obligations without
either ample cause a quid pro quo. We do
not concede that there would be any need Of a
quid pro quo for the abrogation of the CLAYTON
Bulwer Treaty: but. The Daily Telegraph"
says, that is a matter for negotiation, not for
recriminations And IL will be observed that II

journal emphasizes the facts. upon which we
ourselves have hitherto insisted that IN is 10 the

shall be constructed, that the work must be
done under Government patronage and that the

GERMANS DISCOUNTED.
The Bund der Industriellen Discusses the
Extraordinary Growth Of American
Exports to Germany.

Berlin, Oct. 22.-The Bund der In
dustriellen held general meeting
yesterday at which was discussed the
American danger" and the new Ger
man tariff law. The general secre-
tary Of the bund, DR.. Wendlandt, de-
scribed the american danger" as
grave and quoted figures showing the
extraordinary growth of exports from
the United States to Germany and
the decline in the movement of goods
in the opposite direction, and COM
planned that the average of duties
imposed by the United States is so
per cent, while that of Germany is
only 10 per cent.
Discussing the remedies at Ger
many's disposal, DIR. Wendlandt said
The chief was the tariff and must be
applied. "This," he declared, "would
oring America to her senses and coun-
teract the boundless despotism of
trusts" He recommended the forma-
ton Of central European customs
lnion against the United States and,
admitting the great difficulties in the
way of this, declared that If 1t should
prove impossible, then a common
agreement should be made to treat
American goods differently from
those of other countries

FOUND HIS DAUGHTER.
Peter BELL at Last Finds His Child Who
Was Abducted by Gypsles Nine
Years Ago,

Charlottesville, Ind, Oct. 22.--Nine
years ago the ten-year-old daughter
of Peter Bell, a miller living at St.
Marys, O., failed to return home
from school. Although the canal was
firmly frozen, the belief became gen.
eral that she had been drowned,
though her father doubted and spent
his meager savings searching for her.
Last August band Of gypsies
camped near the Bell mill and one
of them, out of revenge, told Bell
that his child had been abducted by
q gang Of gypsies that had camped
ney the place nine years ago. He
said he had come all the way from
Mexico, Mo-, to inform the father Of
the whereabouts Of his long lost
child.
Bell at once made preparations tc
90 in search Of the girl and, with
Mrs. Bell and their other daughter,
started for indianapolis by wagon.
There they sold the wagon and be-
gan the journey on foot. They
walked to Peoria, ILL.,, from there to
Quincy, to Keokuk, Ia, and finally
traced the gypsies to Carthage.
Arriving at Carthage last Saturday
the Bells found Lee and his band in
camp. When the leader was confront.
ed by the father Of the girl and local
officers he attempted a gun play, but
the officers covered him and he gave
up the girl. The young woman says
she has been compelled to beg food
and clothing for the entire band OF
gypsies, who have at all times treated
her cruelty. The camp was COM
posed of about 20 people and they
roved all over the middle west. Mr..
Bell will try to have the abductors
indicted and extradited to Mercer
county, o., for trial. Bell has spent
his every cent in the search for his
daughter.

YALE's CELEBRATION.


New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 22.-Six
thousand graduates and students Of
Yale marched in gay parade last
night in celebration Of the univer-
sity's bicentennial. It was the popu-
lar manifestation Of the exuberant
spirit which has marked the obsery-
ance Of this festival from the be-
ginning. The enthusiasm of the visit
ing graduates and Of the whole stu
dent body was fairly let loose and the
city Of New Haven took large part
in the celebration. The march Of the
sons Of Eli was through streets bor-
dered with blue, brilliant with many
hued lanterns and bright with cleo.
trio lights.
The entire parade was spectacular
in the extreme. All the periods of
the history Of Yale and the country
in the last 200 years were well sym
bolized, from the Pequot Indian garb
OF the seniors to the caps and gowns
of blue worn by the graduates. Each
department Of the university, too,
was represented by distinct costumes.
The art school students appeared in
the tights and doublets OF the mid
die ages, the divinity students in
gowns Of red and the Forest school
pupils in archers' uniforms. The
score of Japanese students in the
university were an interesting fea-
ture OF the procession, carrying a
float on which appeared the inscrip-
tom "Japan for Yale and Yale for
Japan All along the line were
floats and transparencies bearing
legends descriptive Of the various
classes.
On their return to the campus the
30 or more bands played the "Boola"
march in concert and the parade was
dissolved.
