nc CanaI Route Question.

1t is only natural that the Ameri-

vantage of every possible benefit in
making final arrangements for the
construction of canal across the
American ist,mus.
For this reason, the National Leg
islators are justified in going slowly

States are overwhelmingly in favor

anxious to have the project consum-
mated as soon as possible and at the
minimum c. expense.
Owing TO various obstacles, the
Isthnrian Canal Commission in its re-
port found verdict against the
Panama route. Their preference for
the Nicaragua ditch was founded
upon excellent grounds. The fact
that the Panama company has sent
an agent to America post haste. how
ever, indicates that the French own

have decided to waive many things
and to dispose of their possessions
and concessions at very reasonable

there might be changes made in the

There are other changes which I would
like to see made. In fact, I would favor
taking several things out of the present

We Must Keep the Cup.

There is a warm spot in every
American heart for Sir Thomas Lip
ton. Such gallant sportsman and
natural gentleman cannot fail to win
friends the world over. Although we
have twice pitted against him the
best yacht that Yankee skill could
produce in order to save the Cup-a
trophy that has almost become an in
stitution on this side of the water
we have been sorry to defeat him,
though glad to win.
The announcement that the Irish
knight is not discouraged; that he
viii, in all probability, order another
boat to cross the seas and fight for
the Americas prize, viii be met by
mingled feelings Of pleasure and con
Germ.
Such a persistent challenger is to
be met with caution. While we have
twice saved~the coveted silver from
Sir Thomas, there viii be a sort of
superstitious feeling that it may be
''three times and out
1t may be that when the new Lip
ton candidate for Cup honors enters
American waters. the Columbia and
Constitution viii have become anti
quated. 1t therefore behooves those
Americans who take an interest in
yachting to be up and doing at an
early date.
With all our warm fellowship for
Sir Thomas, and notwithstanding the
ties that bind the EngIish-spealing
peoples, we must keep the Cup.
