PANAMA CANAL ROUTE
MAY Be ONE SELECTED
More Favorable Terms to Be Made
BY French company-ccmmission
May Report Against Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Although
the report of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission is practically completed, there
is little probability that it will be sub
mitted to the President by the first
of September. as had been expected,
and the report may be held back until
Congress meets in December.
On the authority of high official
of the Government it may be stated
thar this delay is due to the expecta-
ton that a better proposition will be
received from the French company
controlling the Panama canal Up to
the present great difficulty has been
experienced in obtaining a satisrac-
tory proposition from the French
company. and little progress has been
made in this respect since the COM
mission submitted its preliminary
report to Congress last December
II is believed, however, that a proposal
which can be considered will be re-
ceived from the French company be-
fore Congress meets, as otherwise the
Panama route must be passed over
for Nicaragua in the commissions
report. and it is expected that the
French company's first proposal will
name $3.50, 000, 600 as the price for
the absolute sale of the canal. But
this figure would probably receive lit
tie consideration. as the commission
has estimated the actual value of the
work thus far done on the canal as
S33 100000, reporting at the same
time that it would cost approximately
$142 100000 TO finish the canal.
A high authority in canal matters
believes that ultimately the French
company will be willing to offer the
canal to the United States at the prac-
teal appraisal of the commission.
This belief is based on the convic-
tion of the authorities that men who
control the Panama company fully re-
alize that the choice of the Nicaragua
route by the United States would end
their hope of raising more money,
and rather than sacrifice all they have
put into the canal at Panama they will
be glad to conclude arrangements by
which they will be able to get back
even small part of their investment
Several members of the commission
strongly prefer the Panama route to
the Nicaragua route as an engineering
proposition. and if an advantageous
proposal is submitted by the French
company the selection of the Nicara-
qua route will be matter of great
doubt.

FRENCH AMBASSADOR
LEAVES TURKISH CAPITAL
The Rupture of Relations Between the
Two Governments May Lead to
Very Serious Complications.

PARIS. Aug. PA semi-oficial
note has been issued announcing that
the Porte. not having carried out its
undertakings with regard TO the dis
puted questions between the French
and Ottoman governments. NJ. Con-
STAINS. the French ambassador. acting
under instructions from the Foreign
Minister of Finance, left Constantine
pie August 26th. the date named in his
last communication to the Porte on
the subject.
II was learned today from the best
sources that the departure of NJ. Con-
STAINS from Constantinople in the cir
cumstances is tantamount to a partial
rupture of Franco-Turkish relations.
The French Government holds that
the Sultan has broken his word. He
had promised full payment of the long
standing indemnities to the French
men, amounting to 100000 francs,
but at the end of last week, declined
to pay the full amount and offered a
reduced sum, which was refused by
NJ. Constans. The Sultan made final
attempt to induce NJ Constans to stay.
NJ. Constans had left Therapia on
board the Vautour for Stamboul,
where he was to take the Orient ex-
press. A court chamberlain arrived
at STEAMBOAT in post haste from the
Sultan. begging NJ. Constans to return
to Therapia and promising that every
thing would be satisfactorily settled.
NJ Constans declined to return, de-
claring the time for promises was past
and that it was for the Sultan to fulfill
his undertakings. The French Govern

matter, but will wait for the Sultan to

In Memoriarn.

On April %, 1900, Mrs. Harriet M.
Trautman died at San Francisco, CAL,
aged Is years. No notice of her death
appeared in the Eastern papers at the
time, and at the request of relative
the following facts concerning her are
given; they will doubtless be read with
interest by all who knew her.
Mrs. Trautman was born in Bluehill,
and was educated at the academy in
that village. Her maiden name was
Dodge. She was married to Cyrus Rowe
OF Belfast, who at one time owned and
edited Wing newspaper in Ellsworth
IN the '4Os. He went overland to Cali
fornla in 1849, his wife following via
Panama in 1850. They went to Sacra-
mento to live.
Mr.. Rowe died suddenly in 1859, and
the widow went. to San Francisco, and
became teacher in the Collegiate In
stitute. There she was married to John
Trautman, who died some years ago. All
her children are dead save one-Miss
Maude NJ. Rowe, who is a:school teacher
in San Francisco. Mrs. Trautman was
an invalid during the last eight years of
her life. She was a woman of rare in
telligence, and had a wide circle of
friends, who deeply mourn their loss.
Mrs. Trautman was one of family
of thirteen, all of whom are dead ex-
cept one sister, Mrs. Mary P. Hall of
Concord, n. H., who is 81 years of age.

publishers, and the editor, of The Re-
publican journal.

UNCLE SoLON ON FLOWERS.

The Sage of Chase's Mills Recommend
Gardening for the Children.
In the course of recent article in
the Boston Herald, Scion Chase says:
Children can easily be taught to take
interest in the cultivation of flowers,
and it is a good school for both the
young mind and body. 1t teaches them
habits of industry and sharpens their
imagination. When the small boy helps
his mother plant a rose bush covered
with brlars he has in his mind the
blooming roses, and watches tile grow
ing leaf and the swelling bud, and has
an object lesson of cause and effect.
1t he learns to love and cultivate
flowers when he is young, when he
grows up he won't throw stones at the
schoolhouse windows. 1t is better for
the child to imagine the beautiful, if
perfection is not always reached, than
to dwell on unpleasant thoughts. If we
want to live useful and happy lives we
need to begin just as soon as we are
born.
The little girl who asked her mother,
when will the dandelions blow?" had
twined the golden dandelions in her hair
the year before and had not forgotten
it. On every farm where there are chill
dren there should be well-kept flower
garden, under the charge of the mother
or groWn-up daughter. The flower
garden should be a family affair, and
the head of the house should have the
same interest in it as the mother and
the children The flower garden is an
educator and trains the child mind to
look ahead for brighter and better
things.
A little girl will arrange a bouquet
almost by instinct as fast as she can
pick the flowers, thatyrests the eye and
Children soon learn the names Of the
that give the most pleasing effect A
flock of children grouped among the
flowers are not idling away their time;
they are learning the lesson that this is
a beautiful world and we are here to
make it better.
Flower beds in school grounds would
give the children object lessons in flori-
culture and do away with the need of a
truant officer. They would come early
to linger among the flowers before school
hours. Too often school grounds have
a forbidding look, with more to repel
than to please the eye, and it is not
much wonder that children hate to GO
| there and are glad to get away
| Well kept flower beds would draw the
children to the school grounds They
| would learn the art of cultivating flow
ers and work in the flower beds out OF
| school hours. There is nothing that
would elevate our schools at SO little
expense and make the schoolhouse look
like house of culture and refinement
like well-kept flower beds in the school
house grounds. Children appreciate the
beautiful in art and nature, and if the
love of flowers is cultivated in the
schools they will grow up better mel
and women for it.

CALL AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT 1T.

Here is letter that has Just come to
our attention. It will interest people
suffering from bronchial troubles. It
is from Mr.. Geo. w. Brown, of So. Han
over, N. H., and reads as follows:
81 have suffered with bronchial trou-
bles for over year; tried two doctors
and have taken three or four kinds of
medicine, none of which did me any
good. At times 1 was SC hoarse I
could not speak. Then l heard of

it my voice has perfectly returned to
me. | can see that in a short time l
will be all right. When 1 began to
take it l was very weak, but it has
built me up and given me good appe-
tite"
This is what Vinol always does
This is the way Vinol accomplishes its
mission of doing good.
Vinol, as we wish every one to know,
owes its power of accomplishing the
cures that it effects to the fact that it
contains the most wonderful medicinal
elements known to science for the cure
of all wasting diseases, as well as be-
ing in itself marvellous tonic. These
rtiesexistandha vehere-
tofore been found only in cod-liver oil.
Vinol contains these elements. For BY
a scientific process the necessary cura-
tive properties OF the cod-liver oil have
been separated from the fat and grease
which formerly made cod-liver oil prep
arations SO Objectionable.
As long as Vinol does not contain any

pared by combining the sought-after
properties with a delicate table wine,
1t is most delicious and palatable
preparation.
We know of what we speak when
we recommend Vinol, and because
we do know that Vin0l does all we
claim for it, we unhesitatingly en-
dorse it, and guarantee at any time
to refund the money paid for the
remedy if you are not satisfied it
will do all we claim for it,

means that ponderous slab was raised
which caps the cone. The view is fine
from the summit-of the green Sassari
plain: the gray, battlemented walls of
the ancient city, its towers and domes
and tall white houses rising out of
dusky olive-groves; and away to the
west the shimmering Mediterranean
and the bold outlines Of Asinari island.
Among many other relics of antiquity
in Sardinia are the monoliths. or stone

middle; not unlike the Celtic remains.

Most interesting of all are Ithe Csc
poltures de los Gigantes, or Tombs of
the Giants, found everywhere in Sar-

placed together without cement, so as
to enclose trench from fifteen to
forty feet long and from three to six

On each side of this strange headstone

were graves, in some forgotten time,
but what manner of people made them,

incumbent slabs-such as the Druidical
kistyaene, and the ancient tombs of
Greece. AS to the story of giants
there are many traditions concerning
the former existence of a colossal race
in Sardinia, as will as in the neighbor-
ing islands.
Its scanty population and rugged
mountain ranges, with dark forests be-
