Report In Favor of Panama Will
Block Legislation.
FRIENDS OF NICARAGUA DITCH
They Control Senate Committee and
Their Attitude Remains
Unchanged.
New York su,, sp,ox.y ss-v,os.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The supplemental
report OF the isthmian canal commission
sent to congress will not change the attl-
tude Of the senate committee on inter-
oceanic canal The majority Of the COM
mittee will report favorably the Hepburn
bill, authorizing the president to secure
the right of way through Nicaragua ana
Costa RIGA and construct canal along
that route. -.
This situation Is Just what 1t was before
the Panama company made Its offer or the
commission changed It's mind as to which
route was most feasible" majority or
the committee then favored the Hepburn
bill. and the views Of the majority nave
not been changed.
Senator Morgan, chairman of the COM
mittee, still has the support of the major
lty and will be able to report the Hepburn
bill just as 1t passed the house. That Is
now Senator Morgan's Intention.
Hanna Leads the Minority.
The minority Of the committee has new
sr been in favor Of canal legislation. Sen
ator Hanna has always openly opposed
the canal bill and has been the leader OF
the minority. Hanna believes that If the
government Is to contruct an isthmtan
canal 1t should be a sea level canal by the
old San Bias route, lower down on the
isthums.
For the advantage Of opposing the ma
jority Of the committee Senator Hanna
and the minority may take up the Panama
proposition. This proposition offers the
only practicable rallying point for the OPP
position, as to advocate the old San Bias
route means simply to say there should
be no canal legislation.
The out-and-Out opponents of canal leg
islat1on will use the Panama proposition
to prevent the adoption OF the Nicaragua
route, and rely upon Senator Morgan and
his followers to oppose the Panama propo

Morgan Against the Panama.
The commission has thrown no new light
On the question to change Morgan's views.
He still holds that the French company
cannot sell the canal without the French
government guaranteeing the United
States against the claims of the original
stockholders in the Panama canal.
These claims amount to ,400,000,000
francs, or $3.50, 100000 with interest. For
for 40,000000 without the guarantee Of
the French government, Morgan says,
would be simply the purchase Of a mort
gage which It would have to pay in the
end and for the French government to
give the guarantee would be for 1t to deny
a just right to the stockholders.
Mr.. Morgan still holds to the view that
the Panama canal is impracticable. He
has looked into the legal complications
surrounding that canal with even more
care than the canal commission, and after
hearing all that the secretary of that COM
pany had to say, he is still OF the opinion
that the company cannot sell and that the
United States cannot buy the canal for
$40, 900 and be free from the claims of
the old stockholders until the government
Of France steps forward to give a guaran-
tee to that effect.

ing dinner was served and the dessert

and other small fruits there's a posi-
tive furore: more conservative dress
ers are content with flowers, which are
this season supplemented with a most
exquisite variety of foliage. A verita-
bic poem in colors is the raisin hat!
The shape is variation of the favored
Colonial, of champagne Tuscan, with
pink satin straw braid forming figures
at intervals. The brim is faced with
folds of delicate pink chiffon, but Is
fairly lost to sight under an array of
exquisitely mottled foliage and very
much wr!nkled raisins in the rich dull
maroon that is simply luscious with
the pink and green. The only other
trimming is at the left, resting more
on the crown than the brim, where are
three large, soft, old pink roses. They
are tightly punched and in the most
delicate shadings. This same scheme
is charming with grapes instead of
raisinS.

MAKES Old AGE VIGOROUS.
paIns's Celery Compound the Greatest Nerve Tonic.

Paine's Celery Compound is the
greatest nerve tonic ever given to the
world. 1t is particularly effective when
the system is gradually wasting away
in old age, and when each separate or
gan is predisposed to degeneration.
Paine's Celery Compound renders a
vigorous old age possible. 1t keeps the
nervous system in a normal condition
of health; it keeps the digestive organs
in perfect condition; it keeps the liver
and kidneys active and in perfect
health; it nourishes nerve fibers, as we'll
as muscle fibers and other tissues; it
keeps the nerve force strong; it aids
digestion; it makes rich, pure blood and
gives strength and health to those in
whom the energies of the human body
have begun TO wane.
In the treatment of the infirmities
common to old age. Paine's Celery
Compound is the worlds greatest
remedy.
William P. Snowden and his family
were the first white settlers of the town
that is now the city of Omaha. He has
had long and eventful life. His trade
was that off brickmaker. He fought
with the army of the North from 1861
to 1864. He had previously seen service
in the Mexican War in the forties. He
has held many local offices of trust,
and there is no better known man in
Nebraska to-day.

medicine"
Nothing has ever approached Paine's
Celery Compound in its power of build

MANNERS FOR AMERICANS.
They Arc Said to study "Form" in
EngIand-But They Have Strange
Experiences There.
From the London Mail.


Experiences There.
From the London Mail.
Americans come to England for the
contemplation and the acquisition OF
England's learning; they come to study
it's art and to buy its curlos, they come
to meet its great men and women, they
come to visit it's historical spots and
to gaze upon it's scenery, they even
come for clothes-when they know no
better. But IL they can afford 1t in
time and money, they come also for
English manners. Sometimes they go
to France for manners, but England is
the great school.
American men are VIGOROUSLY bad
hammered as a class. The mothers are
doubtless to blame for 1t in the begin
ming, for they do not give the same
care to this part of their sons educa-
ton that sthey give to their daughters.
Few of the boys, as they grow to
manhood, have the time or the inclina-
ton TO come to England to be FIN
ished," but IL business brings them fire.
uuently to the Old World, they are
quick to acquire an air of courtesy and
an elegance in dress which distin-
guishes them at once.

land for finish" return home as a rule

circles In New York, where anything
with an English label Is considered
better than the American, but IN Chi
cago and the West they have rather
hard time at first, and are apt 10 be

and it is to be feared that many cf
his innocent brothers suffer for 1t
afterward.
There is an ever-increasing number
of rich American girls brought up en-
tirely in Europe, and to most of them
the American man with American
manners is horror and an abhorrence.
The Englishman is their ideal, he Is
such good form" He remains stand

TO open the door for them, he dresses
every night for dinner, he rides horse
in 81 faGltless manner. he knows the
correct way TO address any person OF
title, and he never talks vulgar shop"
But aside from these girls, who are In
reality more European than they are
American one finds few American girls
who do not prefer American men, even
with their crudeness, TO the polished
Enghshman. American women who
know both generally conclude that the
American man gives them more appre-
citation, more thoughtful attention. and
more genuine respect. Between Eng
lishmen who understand and care for
American life and ideas and American
men who understand and care for
English life and ideas, there il little
difference. But between the two, per-

men, for his manners have become,
through generations of training. a mat

matter of thought with the American
and likely to be forgotten in a hurry,
Much of the social success for which
American women have become cele-
brated in England is undoubtedly due
to their study Of English manners and
their ability to acquire them while still
preserving their own naturalness. III
they use American manners with Eng
lishmen they soon discover that they
have made an almost fatal mistake,
for the Englishman does not UNDER
stand the heartiness OF American corr
diality, the comradeship between men
and women so common there, and the
informality, and he generally misinter-
prets it. American manners with Eng
lish women who do not understand
them are seldom anything but perma-
nentlv fatal, for women do not give
to one another-in America or in Eng
land-the leniency of judgment which
men give to women and women give
to men. But the American woman's
chief source Of social strength Is, after
ALL in her Americanism, and ii is this
touch of manner which 1t Is univer-
