which sell for five times as much money.
The NOrwegians. Danes and other Tor

Northern wheat lands. have discovered how
valuable the cheap lands OF the South are,

1t was difficult to understand
Inv Admiral Walker shnnld

1t was difficult to understand
why Admiral Walker should
have recommended the Nicara-
guam route at the time and still
more difficult to appreciate Sen.
aior Morgan's prompt acceptance
of the recommendation, but in
the light of the recent meeting
it would appear that the Admiral
and the Senator have been play
ling a shrewd Yankee bluff with
the object in view of STAN peding
the Panama Company. If that
was their object. they certainly
succeeded. This will mean the
practical ruin of the Panama
Canal Company and there will
be great suffering as q conse-
quence among the poorer stock :
holders, for, as the company
was in a sense national although
the French government does
not back the company in its
present organization, the stock,
in the days of de Leseps was
widely bought and many shares
ARE held by very poor people.
Nevertheless, the United States
will have an opportunity to buy
the property at a bargain.
Mr.. Oxnard. the head of the
American beet sugar interests
called at the White House re-
Gently and presented q novel
scheme by which he believes
that the Presidents object in
advocating reciprocal concess-
ions on Cuban sugar can be OBJ
tanned and at the same time moth
ing derogatory to the interests
he represents be effected. His
proposition is that the duty col
iected on Cuban sugar be set
aside and returned to the growers
in the form Of bounty. This,
he believes, would prevent the
lowering Of the price OF raw
sugar in this country and would
at the same time make up to the
Cuban growers any decrease in
price they may be obliged to ac-
ccpt from the shippers because
of the A,nerican ferif

an earnest effort to get the Sec
retary of War to postpone the
election. 1t seems that there are

| is not known, but all three par
ties seem to be familiar with all
the electioneering tricks of a
ward boss and they have very
little compunction about putting
them into practice. 1t is feared
that they may forget that they
are free and Independent peo-
pie and that, as they have no
sovereign TO keep them straight,
they must control themselves.
II is said that there is danger OF
bloodshed before the elections
are over.
In view Of the continued news
of threatened hostilities between
Chile and the Argentine Repub-
lie, I asked a gentleman in the
State Department Tuesday to
give me a brief sketch of the
trouble between the two coun-
tries. 1T is an affair Of long
standing, ;, he said. rThe trou-
Bile is all caused by a dispute
over a boundary line and in that
respect it is very similar TO our
own differences with Great
Britain over the Alaskan boun-
dairy. The trouble started away
back in 1s43. The descriptions
of boundaries in the old Treaties,
etc. were evidently prepared
