For several years | have read with view to in
forming myself as to which the best and most
practical route for an istulian canal. As result
settled on the Ncaraguau route absolutely the best
one.
In fact. that the French have made such a signal
failure of the Panama route makes me look with sus-
pi,on upon that particular route now, although from
the volumnous reports that have been made to Con
gress the subject incline to the opinion that it is
a very difficult matter for the average layman to
form opinion a question of this kind, that is
based absolutely upon facts

GOSSIP AND CHAT HEARD IN
WASHINGTON HOTEL LOBBLES
Hanna Looked To for Relief.

Senator Hanna is not only the man
OF the hour-he is the man of the
minute TO the thousands of coal miners
in the Pennsylvania anthracite region. -
said J. C. Holiday. of Scranton. at Tie
New Willard Hotel last night The min
ers are looking for him to adjust the
differences existing between them ami
the operators. l feel sure that he will do
1t successfully. If the President is able
under existing laws to appoint an arbi-
traitor invested with national authority
Senator Hanna is the man above ell
others who should be selected for the
delicate duty. He is thoroughly inform
ed as to all the intriyacies of the situa-
ton and tolls on the problem with the
enthusiasm of a boy
1T is really marvellous the amount OF
work he gets away with. He sandwiches
the labor of his position as United
States Senator with the immense amount
of correspondence involved in his EFFORT
to avert trouble in the coal regions.
From q close friend Of his | learn that
he works sixteen hours and often more
each day.
This is astounding when the fact that
he is siXty-Gye years old Is considered.
Talk about the 'overworked President
He is not q circumstance to Senator
Hanna. who labors straight through the
DAY without horseback rides or cross
country tramps or any kind Of vigorous
exercise"

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.
"0f Two Evils"

Albany Journal-The argument is ad-
vanced that the growing scarcity of coal
fications OF industry that the operators
will be compelled to make concessions to
their employees. That looks like a strong
argument. but ii is no stronger than the
one that the growing scarcity OF money
among the idle men will so seriously af-
feet their households that they will find
themselves compelled to return to work
on the old terms.

MOST PRACTICABLE ROUTE
FOR THE ISTHMlAN CANAL


A conviction has forced itself upon my mind that
reports are made by interested parties and in most IN
stances are too much in the nature Of soap adver-
tisement to be of any material value.
| still. however. hold TO the opinion that the
Nicaraplan route is the best and the most practical,
and | sincerely hope the United States Government
will not only build sthmian canal, but own 1t and
control it, In the light of the complicated condition
of affairs in connection with the Panama route, ]
would absolutely oppose taking hold of it, or giving
it the least consideration.

A Ruined Garden.
BY MAUDE BERNICE MARQUIS.

And all the air seemed sweet,
plucked for him my one white rose
And threw it down at his feet.
me wine of my life poured for him.
Gave him my hearts red blood.
He drank-he dashed the crystal cup
And crimsoned my poor white bud.
He passed. through my gay. bright
garden ground
And left the murk of night;
My velvet pansies crushed to death
Threw over my roses a blight.
l sit in the place he wrecked and

The sound of laughter light;
Love sits my neighbours vines

Strike. God, and blacken my sight.
I gather my ashes of petaled bloom
And sink in the ruined heap;
Come. rain, fire, wind and hail;
My roses and | will sleep.

There is an apparent purpose to make the
Wabash one of the most important railroad sys-
toms in the Middle West. The extension to tide
water having been secured the company is now
arranging TO acquire and construct numerous
feeders in the adjacent coal and iron and steel
regions The Wabash has had a remarkable
record in gross earnings. For sixty consecutive
months or five full years. the company has re-
ported an unbroken succession of increases IN
gross earnings During this period there have
heep few single weeks in which increases have
not been reported These exceptions were mostly
in the winter season. when the returns were ao-
normally affected by storms. floods or cold
weather. The net earnings during this time have.
in the MAN, shown a practically uninterrupted
series of increases. The record of net earnings
would have been much striking, except for
the fact that the company has expended large
portion of it's gross receipts for improvements and
new equipment. President Ramsey says that the
work on the Pittsburg extension of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie is proceeding satisfactorily. and it
is expected this line will be ready for opera
ton year The work of construction the
various connecting links between the recently
quired properties. which. when completed will give
an outlet the Atlantic seaboard. is going ahead
as fast as possible. He reiterates the statement,
often made by himself and other prominent Wabash
interests that trouble will he experienced at
the hands of the Pennsylvania Railroad in con-
nection with the proposed extension PittsbUrg
Whether not the present Wabash system will
long be known such IS doubtful. For
intima tions have been made in well informed cir
Cles that the securities of the Wabash and. the
other companies controlled by the Gould interests
will all be included in one large holding company.
