II ONEY is READY, NOW FOR A
GOOD PLAN.
ENDOW NATIONAL THEATRES
LONDON AND NEW YORK WILL
SOON BE THE BARNsTORM-
ERS' MECCA.
ENDOW RATIONAL THEATRES

New York, April "A dispatch to the
World from London says: The Daily
Express is informed that andrew Carne-
gle purposes to endow a theater in New
York and another in London for the ele-
walton of the stage, provided a working
plan can be devised which will prevent
the management from falling into the
hands of extremists or faddists.
Mr.. Carnegie's wish is said to be to es-
tablish an international theater with a
stage on either side of the Atlantic, that
companies and productions may change
from one house to the other to keep up
interest and center the interest of the
play goers of both nations upon common
ideals of dramatic art.
The idea is said to have been suggested
by Richard Mansfield's recent declara-
tion that an endowed national theater is
necessary for the preservation of the
drama.
Mr. Carnegie is reported to have said
recently to a friend: IF l knew how
a theater should be managed as we'll as
l do library, l would endow one with
no loss Of time"
1t is further stated that Mr.. Carnegie
has been consulting with actors, man.
ayers and critics and may soon be ex-
pected to make an announcement.

AMERICANS To
BUILD CANAL
READY TO COMPLETE THE OLD
PANAMA DITCH.
WANT GOVERNMENT TO LET UP
AND GIVE THEM FULL SWING IN
THE GREAr UNDERTAKING.
MORGAN AND HILL.

Chicago, April "A. special to the
Chronicle from Washington says
In regard to Pierpont Morgan's scheme
that the United States government shall
abandon its scheme of building a canal
across the isthmus of Panama and permit
private capital to take up and finish the
work already accomplished on the Pana-
ma canal it is learned on high authority
that when Mr.. Morgan visited Washing
ton about ten days ago. he first broached
the subject. His proposition was that the
administration abandon the present plan
of constructing a canal at governmental
expense across Nicaragua and Costa
Rica and recommend to congress that
corporation composed of American capl-
talists be authorized to carry out the
work practically abandoned by the Pana-
ma company.
1t is understood that the syndicate
headed by Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill is
composed Of capitalists who now control
the entire transcontinental railway sys-
tenn Of the United States. President Nc
Kinley is said to have listened to the
new canal proposition with a favorable
ear. He has not made any promise nor
indicated what course the administration
will pursue in dealing with the matter.
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill may decide
to visit Panama in Mr. Hills yacht after
they get through in Washington and
Senator Hanna may accompany them.

NEW YORK BOY
IS KIDNAPPED
WAS ON HIS WAY TO CHURCH
POLICE VAINLY SEARCd THE
CITY FOR HIM.

New York, April 2.-After vainly run
ring down every clew, the police be-
came convinced last night that Willie
McCormick, Jr., ten-year-old High
h, idge boy. who disappeared last We'd
uesday night, is the victim of a kidnap-
ing plot. Captain Titus of the central
detective bureau and Captain James Gam
non of the Highbridge police station,
iiave put every available man on the
case.
On Wednesday night two of the boys
sisters were going to church with him
when he found it necessary to return to
the house for his overcoat. He was de-
layed for a few moments and the sisters
walked toward the church. When he
failed to rejoin them soon they walked
lapidly to the church, both believing un-
I'll they had returned home that he had
decided not to so with them. AS a mat
tar of fact he had slipped on his over
coat and started after them.
Captain Cannon, in discussing the
case. said:
Il am firmly convinced that the boy
has been taken by designing persons
and that he is being held by them. The
BOY was never known to be away from
home over night. His habits were good
and there had been nothing to drive
him away from home. I am of the opin-
ion that he is being held here in New
York city"
Captain Cannon added that every sec

PORTO RICO Gov
ERNOR TO RESIGN
ALLEN WAS BRILLIANTLY sue.
CESSFUL, BUT IS TIRED OF
THE JOB.

New York, April "A special to the
World from Washington, says:
Charles r. Allen, governor of Porto
Rico, who left San Juan to-day for
Washington, is expected to tender his
resignation soon after reaching here.
Mr.. Allen will retire voluntarily. When
he accepted the post, which he did re-
luctantly and only at the earnest solici-
tation of the president, he promised to
remain there but year. The time Is
now up and he does not care to remain
longer, although the president will
doubtless endeavor to persuade him to 50
back because of the good work he has
done, as well as because of the diff
Guilty of filling the place. Governor
Allen can have his old place as assistant
secretary of the navy back if he wishes
it, as it was understood when his suc-
cessor was appointed that it would be
opened to him upon relinqushing control
Of affairs on the island.
No names have been suggested as Mr..
Aliens successor as yet and possibly none
will be until he has formally rendered
his resignation.

st. Petersburg, April 2.-The superior
coucillor of the Chinese legation, Chu
Wo Jte, is continuing to negotiate as
charge d'affaires regarding the Man
churian agreement. The illness of the

OF half of his estate through the de-

Unofficial observers scarcely under
stand that China will not ultimately ac-

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Unknown Man at Jennings Shot
From Ambush.

A man whose name could not be
learned was the victim of murderous
assault at Jennings Thursday night. In
company with number of others he
was passing near the depot when, with
out warning. shot was fired from out
of the darkness and he fell to the ground.
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
possible and it was discovered that the
bullet had struck him on the left side of
the head, making bad wound. Search
ing parties were started out to hunt his
assailant, but no trace was found. 1t is
not known what was the motive for the
assault. as the wounded man could not
talk. The latter is in serious condi-
tion, but it is not thought that the
wound will prove fatal.
