LONDON, Dec. 5-Tbe report Of the
Nicaragua Canal Commission has excited
much interest here. General satisfaction
Is expressed that the decision a. TO The
route brings the construction Of the canal
within a measurable distance of realization.
Some surprise is expressed that the Nicara-
qua route is preferred, inasmuch rs the
shortness Of the Panama route and the
absence Of locks in the canal there seem
to people here TO be advantages which
would compensate in the long run for the
extra cost and delay
Tho Daily Afoii reads be, ween the ines
OF the report evidence that the commission
in reality believes that the nam route
is preferable. but has reported in favor
OF the Nicaragua route with the intention
Of bringing the French concessionairos TO
terms. The paper says it viii not be sur

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE sun.
VIENNA, Dec. 4-President Roosevelt's
message to the Congress Of the United
States produced a profound impression here.
The Nepes Wiener TdJebidt, n moderate
organ Of the German party, remarks upon
the fabulous extension Of the industrial
resources of America. II says that the
United States to-day are economically
almost independent Of the rest Of the world
What other nation, IL asks, could say the
same? IL adds that the nation il practi-
callv on the way 10 become the worlds
banker. and has equally increased its politi-
cal importance so that its voice can scarcely
be excluded from international questions
whenever they may arise.
The President Is in a position to make
statements that would sound strange in
Europe. Everywhere else there il an
economic struggle and deep concern for
trade. Almost every State finds itself
in the presence OF the question,
What pressure can still be resorted

The Wiener Noroen /eitung considers
that the message points 10 a new era In the
worlds history through the adoption OF
the imperialist banner by a democracy.

Sutt w SCI N,iuc Dsu8hsVs -
Mrs. Annie A. Garrison tried before Justice
Fursman in the Supreme Court yesterday
for the second time to have set aside a
trust deed by which In March, 1855. SO, 900
was deposited with the United States Trust
Company for her daughter Georgette. now
the wife OF II. V. Nixon Of England. A
former trial ended In a disagreement Of tho
jury. The money was part Of 10000 which
the plaintiff received from the late George
l.. Lorillard. who had been good to her
for a number Of years. .
She came from Philadelphia about 1878.
Leicester Holme was among her friends
and In 1887 he legally adopted the daughter
Georgette and educated her for several
years. Holme acted for her in securing
the money from Lorillard and in placing
the SO, 900 in trust. The daughter was
TO have the income and the principal at
age. The plaintiff had married Clarence
Andrews, a wealthy man. She was divorced
from him and she married Walter Garrison,
deceased. During the continuance OF both
these marriages she was befriended by
yesterday and testified hat she met Loril-
lard about 1875. She said she was then
residing with her family. but she declined
to state the names OF her parents or her
place Of abode.

me out West and to the Hot Springs. We
were away more than a year.
On their return she bought a residence
in East Forty-fourth street. She denied
that Lorillard had purchased 1t for her.
He CAV her 5000 a year at first and after
ward 1900 a year. Subsequently he gave
her the $40 900 as a present. She said the
salary had been given TO her for her services
in trying to cure Lorillard OF the morphine
habit. Asked If the salary was not large
she said: you may be sure hat | more
than earned it

LITTLE AID FOR GOV. VAN SAINT
Governors of Other states Reply 20 His
Letter About Railway Combine.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Dec. 4.-Gov Van SAINT
has received replies to his letter regarding
the railroad consolidation deal from the
Governors Of all the States interested except
Gov. Rogers Of Washington.
Gov. Greer Of Oregon calls attention to
the fact that Oregon has no law on the
subject, no Railway Commission and no
statutory provision for the regulation Of
freight rates. In fact. about the only rail-
road law on the statute books Of that State
is one limiting passenger rates to four
cents a mile. What il more, Gov. Greer
says the people of Oregon are so well salts
fled with the treatment they have received
al the hands OF the two railroad companies
that the Legislature has ignored his rec
ommendation in two successive MESA geS
that the anomalous condition as to the
control Of railroads be changed.
Gov. Herried OF South Dakota says the
roads in the merger LAY so little mileage
in that State that any action there would
be Of no moment.
Gov. Hunt regrets that Idaho has no
Constitutional provision or law which will
enable him TO render material aid in the
contest test, but says the matter will be
the subject of action by the next Legis-
lature.
Gov. Frank White Of North Dakota says
his State has very little law bearing directly
upon the question. In the Constitution
the consolidation of parallel and competing
lines il specifically prohibited, and there are
some general enactments prohibiting the
formation Of trusts and pools for the pur-
pose of hampering trade and

DISCUSSING THE MESSAGE.
Afternoon Papers Of London Find Much
in II to Approve.
Special Gable Dsspafea TO The Sun

Special Cable Dtspdfeh 10 The SUN
LONDON, Dec. A-All the afternoon papers
comment on President Roosevelt's message.
Tho Pail Mall Gazette thinks the message
will be something OF a surprise TO those
who had expected to find therein the dash
ing dar~e-deviltry Of the commander OF the
Rough Riders. The President. on the con-
trary, has become conservative. almost re-
dictionary. The Gazette concludes by declar-
ing that the Presidents enunciation OF the
Monroe Doctrine will meet with universal
acceptance. not only in the old country but
throughout Europe.
The Globe agrees that measures against
the Anarchists should be taken, and adds
that other murder societies need suppress
sion, instancing the Clan-na-Gael. The
paper expresses the opinion that Presldent
Roosevelt's anxiety TO secure the Senate =
approval to the lsthmian Canal treaty
induced him ~unintentionally to overcolor
its provisions on the American side; other
wise there would be demands for recon-
pense for the rights which Great Britain
s%urrenders by the ~abrogation Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. The GLOBE thinks the
attitude Of the President in regard to the
Monroe Doct rine is perfectly correct, but
expresses the wish that provision be made
whereby reparation can be exacted from a
recalcitrant State.
The 81. James, Gazette says the message
strikes a motto of conscious strength and as
sured success. 1t welcomes the lsthmian
Canal treaty as removing the chances OF
friction to which any Joint obligations would
have given rise. The Gazette condemns any
repetition of the old sheer about graceful
concessions in connection with the Clayton
Bulwe treaty.
The Westminster Gazette devotes practi-
cally the whole Of its leader 20 the Presi-
dents reference 10 the Monroe Doctrine.
which IL thinks will cause a flutter through
out Europe. 1t says the American doctrine,
backed by the American surplus. means
that many European ambitions in South
America are fore-doomed to failure. The
paper thinks that it is Great Britain's policy
TO stand by the United States, But, con.
cludes the Gazette, the claims of the United
states must seem inordinate to many OF our
European neighbors,"

resumption Of the debate on the Tarih
bill In the Reichstag to-day said that the
National Liberal party would be glad TO
nee the bill sent into committee In the hope
that a satisfactory settlement would be
reached there. He added that the bill
was not really highly protective. Foreign
nations hedged themselves round with a
circle Of protective duties, and Germany
must do the same.
II was BY such means that the United
States had so developed her
People reasonably asked to what length
this development would 60. h United
states had been guided solely by consid-
erations OF her own interests. 20 as TO con-
troll her own markets. This was the policy
that was being maintained by President
Roosevelt. Some maintained that Ger
msny must not antagonize the United
States. He answered that the United
States would not understand such a con-
t~ention. and Germany would get more
from the United states by showing her
teeth than by displaying sentiment.
The bill was not a purely agraTian meas
ure. though it's first object was to protect
agriculture. He held that high duties
would not lave the effect Of raising the
price Of grain. though existing duties had
prevented It from falling. He estimated
that without the present duties the annual
loss to Germany would have been about
20, 600. 900 marks. The National Liberal
party did not object to the minimum clause.
inasmuch as the Government believed
that even with 1t new commercial treaties
could be concluded.

make 4 new web, and the old spider re-
mains in possession until a stronger
spider invades the web and drives it
out. When thus dispOssessed, the spi-
der seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to subsist upon the few insects
that may fall accidentally into its
clutches and eventually dies of hunger.
