Great Importance to the Natic2.
No single great material work which re-
mains to be undertaken on this continent
is of such consequence to the American
the isthmus connecting North and South
America. It's Importance to the nation is
by no means limited merely to its mate
rial effects upon our business prosperity,
and yet with view to these effects alone it
would be to the last degree important for
US Immediately to begin it. While it's BEN
efic isL effects would perhaps be most
gulf and south Atlantic states, it would
also greatly benefit other sections. 1t is
emphatically a work which it is for the
interest of the entire country to begin and
those great works which only a great ma
ton can undertake with prospects of sue
cess and which when done are not only
permanent assets in the nations material
interests, but standing monuments to its
constructive ability.
The Canal Treaty.
I am glad to be able to announce to you
that our negotiations on this subject with
Great Britain, conducted on both sides in
will and respect, have resulted in my
being able to lay before the senate a
treaty which if ratified will enable US to
begin preparations for an isthmian canal
at any time and which guarantees to this
nation every right that it has ever asked
in connection with the canal. In this
treaty the old ClaytOn-BulWer treaty, so
long recognized as inadequate to supply
the base for the construction and mainte-
nance of a necessarily American ship ca
nal, is abrogated. 1t specially provides
that the United States alone shall do the
work of building and assume the respon-
sibility of safeguarding the canal and
shall regulate it's neutral use by all ma
tions on terms Of equality. without the
nation from any quarter. The signed
treaty will at once be laid before the SEN
ate, and if approved the congress can then
proceed to give effect to the advantages it
secures us by providing for the building OF
the canal.
The Folly Of War.
The true end Of every great and free
people should be self respecting peace,
and this nation most earnestly desires
sincere and cordial friendship with all
others. Over the entire world of recent
years wars between the great civilized
powers have become less and less fire.
quent Wars with barbarous or semi-bar-
Darous peoples come in an entirely differ

duty which must be performed for the
sake of the welfare of mankind. Peace
both sides wish to keep it, but more and
more the civilized peoples are realizing
the wicked folly of war and are attaining
that condition of just and intelligent re-
gard for the rights Of others which will in
the end, as we hope and believe, make
worldwide peace possible. The peace con-
ference at The Hague gave definite ex-
preston to this hope and belief and marked
stride toward their attainment.

WILL PLAY SOLDIER
CRITERION STOCK COMPANY TO
PRESENT A MILITARY COM
VDY THIS WEEK
FIRST PRODUCTION IN ST, PAUL
Real RainstOrm Among the Special
Scenic Effects Which Are
Being Pre-
pared.

For the seventh week Of the successf,l
summer season at the Metropolitan opera
house the Criterion stock company will
present Our Regiment" a military COM
edy, with special new scenic effects and
costumes. This play Is said to have met
with great success when presented in tho
east, and is expected to prove Of special
interest to theatergoers, as it is new to
this city. The story is an interesting one,
appealing to all classes, and as most Of
the male characters enlist IN the army
the military costumes and effects are
promised to be specially picturesque. One
OF the special scenic effects will be real
ratnstorm, which will be put on with tho
same effective Illusion as was Daniel
Frohman's real rain scene in "At the
White Horse Tavern Another striking
feature of Our Regiment" will be the
scene showing the departure of the
troops for the 'front.' the marching of the
soldiers, the clatter Of hoofs and the
band, all forming a beautiful picture as
they go by an open window in full view
Of the audience.
Mr.. Robert Drouet will play the role
Of Hugh. Chalcot, a millionaire bachelor,
who enlists in the service of his coun-
try because he Is told by a pretty girl
that she adnires a man who fights for
his country, instead Of staying at home
and living In luxury as he has been los
ing. This girl is Mary Netley, whom
Hugh has become somewhat interes ed in,
and he hopes to overcome her man
hating propensities and teach her to think
more seriously of him tnan she has been
wont to do. How well he succeeds is
shown in the last act, when Mary finds
her soldier admirer living the hard army
life in little hut, with scarcely food
enough to keep alive on. and nobody to
cook It. For the first time in her life
circumstances demand that she prepare
meal. With the assistance Of Hugh she
succeeds admirably, and the efforts of
the two are said to form one of the
daintiest comedy scenes ever presented on
the local stage. All tie favorites Of the
Criterion company will be well cast and
one Of the brightest performances of the
season is promised by the management.
The regular matinees will take place on
Wednesday and Saturday.

The Ringling's circus has grown to such

The first things to be unloaded when the
