CT halu some OF The most earnest ad-
vocates Of the further consideration of
the Panama route protest that they are
heartily in favor of the construction of
canal but that, in view of the posi-
blllty of buying the Panama plant at
the valuation placed on it by the Walk
er commission, 10000, 900, they regard
the immediate adoption of the Nicar-
aguan route as precipitate. 1t is al
legged that Senator Depew has acquired
new facts in regard to the French ca
nal property, in Paris. and that he will
return this month prepared to urge his
colleagues to give the matter very SER
lous consideration before enacting def
mite legislation Both Senator ALLEN
and representative Cannon, respec-
lively, chairmen of the. senate and
house committees on appropriations,
have expressed themselves as very du-
Dious of the advisability of passing IL
measure which will take out of the
treasury Il lump sum Of $50, 600 600 for
an enterprise, the practicability Of
which has not yet been established to
congress, before any of the imperative
and expensive legislation with which
this congress will have to deal has
been even framed. Another feature
which is making friends for more de
liberate course is the growing belief
that the sum of $3.50 100000 is likely to
be far exceeded before the gigantic en-
gineering problems of the Nicaraguan
canal have been satisfactorily accom-
plished.
Another question which promises to
make work for the party leaders is the
growing sentiment that certain modi-
iications of the Philippine tariff
bill us passed by the house are likely
to make for more rapid pacitication of
the Philippines and the establishment
OF closer and more profitable CONNER
cial relations 1t was believed by MIR.
Payne and his confreres that in view
of the great and constantly increasing
ands, congress could not do better than
to enact such legislation as would put
in force the provisions of the Dingley
tariff bill which had been voided 10y
the supreme court decision. and with
that belief, and with desire to serve
the secretary of war who found himself
embarrassed by the curtailment of the
revenues with which he had to admin
lister the affairs of the islands, Mr..
Payne worked increasingly to secure
the prompt passage Of the bill which
his committee reported.
The recommendations of the Taft
commission which were received in
Washington just as the bill was passed
served to strengthen the contention,
already advanced by some of the re-
publican members. that'concessions on
Philippine imports would materially
assist General Chatfee in his work of
pucitication. Several of the senators
have avaiicd themselves of the holiday
recess to study the subject and have
had frequent conferences with Sccre-
tary Root. As a result there is almo~;
certain to develop more or less prolong
ed discussisn of the matter in tue sen
ate and it seems certain at this writ
ing thar the house bill will be materi-
ally modified.
The president has modified none Of
his views in regard to Cuba reciproc-

Cheese F],a.c,tortes.

!
Eight new cheese factories viii be
opened IN various parts Of Minnesota
during the coming spring months, as a
result Of the agitation started among
the farmers Of the state BY the dairy
and food department. to secure q better
utilization Of Minnesota's resources as
9 cheese producing state.
The larger factories will be estab-
ished at LIE Sueur, ST. Thomas, Dodge
Center and Cannon Falls. Dodge coun-
ty is now the banner county Of the
state for cheese production.
Another favorable Indication for the
Minnesota cheese industry was the
winning Of the first prizesat the Mil
sWaukee cheese contest by a Minnesota
cheese maker Wisconsin has within
her borders about 500 cheese factories
and has always prided herself upon
the quality of her output, but, as in
the case Of butter, Minnesota has
proved that she can turn outsas good,
if not a better, product. The Mime

sued a statement taken from the j 1900
census report and the manufacturing
statistics gathered in Minnesata for
that year. A comparison is made with
similar figures for $780, showing the

The statement shows that while the
population increased 1873 per cent in
the ten years. and the number of man
ufacturing Establishments increased
49, per cent, the number Of wage
earners in factories increased only LOT
per cent. This is attributed to the
vast immigration into farm lands. The
number of wage earners in 1890 was
50. 700, and in 1900 it was 1924. The
number of establishments was II, la.

Education q Tie.

Education was regarded as the
strongest tie between man and man
and likewise between nations. Hence
of scholarships at Oxford university,
of which Mr.. Rhodes was student at
one time. Two scholarships for every
state and territory of the United
States as at present constituted are
provided for. Five scholarships for
students of German birth, the candi-
dates to be nominated by Emperor Will
liam, are to be established. For the
bringing of all the diverse elements of
the great British empire into harmony
scholarships are provided for students
from each of the colonies and pro-
tectorates.
The American Scholarships.
Regarding the American scholar
ships, Mr.. Rhodes says: .s.., e..-.
"Whereas, desire to encourage and fos-
ter an appreciation of the advantages
which, implicitly believe, will result from
union Of the English-sp eaking peoples
throughout the world, and to encourage in
the students from the United States, who
will benefit by these scholarships, an at
tachment to the country from which they
have sprung; but without, I hope, with
drawing them or their sympathies from the
land of their adoption or birth" s
Tests for the Students. -
The scholarships are to be given .to
students upon the following qualif-
cations:
1. Literary and scholastic attainments.
g Fondness for or success in manly, out
door sports.
g. Qualities of manhood such as truth,
courage, devotion to duty. sympathy for
and protection of the weak kindness, I'M
selishness and fellowship.
4. Exhibition during school days of moral
force Of character and instincts to lead and
take interest in his schoolmates, for these
latter attributes will likely in after life
guide him to esteem the performance of
public duties as his highest aim.
