Congress has received the report Of the isthInian canal commission and the senate is in receipt of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty. The latter has been re ferred to the committee on foreign re- lations and that committee has voted unanimously to report the convention for the favorable action of the senate. It will be promptly ratified Senatcr Morgan has re-introduced his bill pro yiding for the construction of tie Nicaraguan canal in accordance with the recommendation of the comnlis sion, which fayors that route. but to the person who reads carefully be- tween the lines there is reason to sus- pect that there is, in the promptness with which all this is being done, some thing in the nature of ruse and that it is the hope Of the promoters of tue canal to bring the owners of the Pana- ma route to reasonable terms. They now hold out for approximately $7o,- 100000 more than the commission be- lieyes their plant to be worth.

GIRL MESSENGERS.

Mercury in trousers, alias the mes senger boy, can hardly contain him. self when the subject of messenger girls is broached in his presence. Not that he is jealous. The very idea makes him choke with laughter. Jealous of them silly galsl Lor, no, they won't last long, It is the fun niness, the screaming absurdfty of the thing, and the excessive foolishness of those in authority, and worse still. of the public, who appear to prefer the Mercury in q blue serge dress 10 him. self, that tickles the messenger boy.
 The girls, however. are still Hast ing and they have not yet been found asking the policemen to take them home, as the gray-suited brigade prophesied they would.
 The fact is" said the manager at Reuters to q reporter, when asked what started the idea of having girl messengers, the boys were becoming so cheeky and making themselves so objectionable in many ways that We decided to try girls as an experiment. and the result so far has been per fectly successful. The girls are obliging and smart; the public like them, and 1 have no doubt that they will in time almost entirely take the place of the boys. The latter are be- coming more difficult to get every year, the reason being partly that we have no prospects to hold out to them after 17.''
 Have you had many applications from girls. and from what class do they come?'
 Well, to-day 1 have had two dozen applications. On an average they are drawn from a better class than the boys. Yes, some might otherwise be servants, but most of them are from the ranks of the workgirls They are most eager to get situations here as. of course, the wages are better and the hours shorter than they would have as workgirls"
 Are they paid as well as the bows ?.
 Better,
 Good. By the way, did you find any of them giving in and going home to their mothers in that vile weather last week."
 No, there has been nothing of that sort. Of course they are properly equipped by us for the bad weather Their ordinary dress consists of thick blue serge, with jackets to match and sailor hat; and in wet weather we pro- vide in addition a macintosh and shiny waterproof sailor hat Tn bad weather, or, fer that matter. in any weather, they can have their food comfortably here. We have a room at the back arranged so that they may bring their food, have it warmed, get hot water. and that sort of thing.o
 As l went out with the assurance that the girls had "come to stay, | met couple of them dressed in their neat, dnconsplcuous short blue skirts and coats, the only sign of ofIiclaldom being the lettering on their turndown collars of their coats; and I came away (writes lady representative) feeling somewhat uplifted at finding members of my sex giving such a good account of themselyes.-W Gazette.

THE HANDY PISTOL.
Brookmans Ugly Dream and It's
 Se0upI


 SequeI.
 Aroused from sleep Tuesday morn ing by the sound of revolver shot he had fired when dreaming, William Brookman of Austin was mortified to see that blood was trickling from the forehead of his wife who lay beside him. Despite the frantic assurances that she was uninjured, Brookman staggered screaming from the bed, placed the weapon against his own head, fired. and fell backward over the body of his wife, dying almost in- stantly.
 Brookman had drawn q revolver from beneath his pillow and fired at his wife while dreaming of burglars The shot grazed the woman's fore head, scorching her hair, and imbedded itself in the wall behind Then BrOokman awoke.
 My God, Mollie,'' cried Brookman II have killed you.' No, you haven't she replied, in an attempt to calm her husband. T am all right, Will; there is nothing the matter''
 ..Yes, there is,'' shouted Broolsman, s.I have killed you.'' Brookman got on his feet as he spoke, and, still holding the revolver, jumped to the floor. As he paused. q suggestion of his purpose flashed into her mind, and, springing up, she at tempted to grasp the arm that held the revolver. But Brookman had al- ready placed the weapon to his head e,%z 2 ff.r 1,,o e111 IL. .1 dren of the couple, who had been awakened by the shooting, entered the room. With their mother, they gath cred screaming about the body of Brookman. Neighbors who entered shortly afterward found them so over come with horror as to be unable to explain the fatality. For years Brookman had been wor- ried about burglaries. He talked about them by day and dreamed about them by night. Often he awoke from sleep to listen for some fancied noise. Some time ago he purchased revolver and insisted upon placing the weapon beneath his pillow every night, despite the remonstrances of his wife.
 Brookman was fl years old and d l printer. He was q member of the Masonic order, the Knights of Pyth- l ias and the National union. The fam l fly lives at No 5375 Cedar street. 1 Brookman's wife had been an invalid l for several years. Her love for her l husband was intense and she is now prostrated by grief.
 twill never tried to kill me- she re- 1 peated insstently. That is shown by his grief when he found I was in- 1 jured and by his shooting himself. If ] he had wished to kill me, he could l easily have done so. No, he was dreaming about burglars and shot at l me lnintentionally.' At the coroners inquest the jury gave n verdict that Brookman had l killed himself by shooting while under the influence of q nightmare. Chicago l Dispatch.

Whether A1r Rooseyelt.s treatment of

Whether MT Roosevelt's treatment of the railroad question in his message had anything to do with the announce ment that the interstate commerce commission is now willing for the law to be amended so as to make pooling of freight rates legal is a question that would be answered both ways, accord ing to the man who spoke, but the fact remains that the commission which has fought railroad pooling for years is now willing to sanction it. It is, of course, no crime for men to change their minds. but the causes of such changes have been known to approach

If present indications count for any thing there Is going to be some lively slugging among tue republicans in con- gress on the question of giving traiif concessions on Cuban sugar and to. bacco. Several of the big trusts are in it, foo, but not on the same side. The sugar trust wants lower tariff on Gu ban raw sugar, while oxIard, the beet sugar king, is working hard to head off tariff concessions on Cuban sugar, which he says will put an end to the sugar beet industry in this country, If granted. The tobacco trust is also credited with opposing tariff conces- sions on Cuban tobacco. but that would better be taken with a few grains of salt. The tobacco trust is q manCfac- turing concern and probably. like the sugar trust, would be glad to get tue tariff on Cuban tobaccos cut. although it may be pretending otherwise because so many, of our tobacco growers are 0p- posed to lower tariff on Cuban tollac- CO Reports in circulation say there have been some remarkable flip-hops among senators on this question; that senators who were strongly opposed to | Cuban tariff concessions now favor them. and give as an excuse for theis change of opinion that in no other way

The industrial supremacy of the United States. says q writer in tic New England Engineering Magazine. is being increased in many of the pro ducts of mine, forest and workshop. and in none more earnestly than in the matter of coal: this will undoubt- edly be handled i'll many of the foreiGn ports by English houses, already estab> lished for so many years and having all the facilities for doing business .n all the continental and other ports, and this will give the opportunity for inc con rvation of British coal, which is produced at a greater cost than Amer jean because the depths to which it ings and the greater cost of labor per ton, there being little more than man uel labor in the extraction of coal ia British pits. On the contrary large tonnage Is mined yearly in the United States by machinery; the great in- crease in machine-mined product in the United States--i. e., 16S per cent in the last five years-is the best evidence obtainable of the economical advan- tages thereby secured in raising coal. and there is no doubt that the British collieries would derive great benefit from following the American example in the more general adoption of coal getting by the aid of electric or com pressed air driven machines The num- ber of mechanical coal cutters employ ed in the United Kingdom duAng 1900
