AFTER many skirmishes and many
bitter debates in Congress, the Senate
has passed Senator Spooner's substi-
tute bill providing for the construc-
tion of an isthmian canal, 1t gives the
President power to authorize the con-
struction of canal by way of Pana-
ma, if he can get the property for $4O,-
600, 900, together with a clear title. If
this cannot be done, then he is to
authorize the building of canal via
Nicaragua. Amendments were adopt
ed authorizing the issue of $130,000,
900 of bonds for the completion of the
work, under a commission to be
named.
Now the question goes to the House,
and if that body agrees with the Sena'
tors the dispute of many years stand
ing will fortunately end.
That Nicaragua has many natural
advantages over Panama has been con-
ceded by many well-infOrmed men,
but if Panama is the better way, il
only remains for this fact to be proved,
not only to the winners and losers in
this protracted contention, but to the
Nation itself, which will build, owl
and operate this great inter -OceaI
waterway.
On the final vote on the Canal Bill
as amended, only six Senators went OIL
record in the negative. These were
Bate, CockrelI, Daniel, Dubois, Nc
Emery and Pettus. The affirmative
vote was 81.

The fact that the Augustia.an Col
lege at Villanova has conferred the
honorary degree of Doctor of Juris-
prudence upon Grover Cleveland, who
is known as a Calvinist, of rugged
type, has called forth some surprised
comment, but does not seem extra
ordinary to those who have keenly
watched the trend of the times in this
country.
Years ago Harvard University not
only conferred an honorary degree
upon a distinguished Roman Catholic
Bishop, the Right Rev. J. J. Keane,
then rector of the Catholic University
at Washington, but appointed him a
lecturer to the Harvard students.
Now the University of Pennsylva-
MIA confers an honorary degree upon
distinguished Catholic scholar, Rev
Hugh I. Henry, and Yale has given
its highest degree to Archbishop Ire

THE return of King Edward to Lon
don Monday practically inaugurated
the ceremonials and festivities that
will mark every day of coronation
week. The American Special Ambas-
sadOr, Whitelaw Reid, was signally
honored, making his official calls in a
royal carriage, accompanied by the
Kings equerry. A notable event was
a dinner at Buckingham Palace Mon
day evening, at which seventy royal
personages were present, representing,
practically, all the sovereigns of the
worlds mOnarchies. The splendor
and magnifcauce of the fet te will cul-
inmate on Thursday with the crowning
of Edward the VII, and will be com
mensurate with the wealth and power
with the broad empire of which Ed
ward is ruler. There will be marked
contrast between the coronation cere-
monies of Edward than those which at
tended the crOwning of the girlish
Queen Victoria, sixty-four years ago.
SINCE the above was written the Joy
and festivities have been changed to
overwhelming sadness. With dram
attic suddenness the King of England
has been stricken down on the eve of
his coronation, and now he lies in
a critical state in Buckingham Palace.
The tragic interruption came at noon
yesterday, when it was announced that
the Kings physicians had decided
that an operation for perityphlitis or
appendicitis was Immediately neces-
sary to save the life of the Sovereign.
This operation was performed at
o'clock p. m, and was highly success
full from a surgical point of view. After
the King awakened from the effects of
chloroform he fell asleep, aud at mid
night was resting comfortably.
The crisis, however, had not been
passed when the latest bulletin was is
sued at the Palace. The after effects
Of the operation are feared. His Maj
esty, under ordinary condition, was
not looked upon as a good subject fol
operation, and though he passed sue
cessfully through the ordeal, sew era
hours must yet elapse before his ply
sicians will be able to predict the out
come.
In the event of the Kings uninter
rupted recovery it will be four or fv,
weeks before he will be able to undergo
the arduous labors of the coronation
ceremony, and even then the even
will be stripped of the glories that wer
intended to mark 1t.

PRESIDENT John Mitchell, of the
United Mineworkers of American has
issued statement of the position OF
the miners in the anthracite coal strike
together with a recital of their griev-
ance and a statement of the earnings
of the coal companies, showing; he
states, that their increased earnings
would easily enable them to grant the
increase in wages demanded. "We
have done all that honorable men could
do both to avert and to end this strike, -
he states. 'It is now apparent that
the real purpose of the coal operators
is to destroy organization among
their workmen."
-amming up his statement, Mr..
Mitchell made the following points
regarding the position the strikers
were taking.
Average earnings of miners year.
less than $500 each.
Work more hazardous and cost of
living greater than in any other i'm
portant industry.
Since 1Oper cent, increase in wages
cost of living has increased 30 to 40 per
cent.
Railroad presidents claimed selling
price would have to be increased 10
cents ton to grant miners demand
but have since the strike raised the
price 81 a ton.
Coal-mining railroads charge yer,
high rates for hauling coal in orde
that the books Of the coal departmen
will show no profits, erediting al
profts to the freight department.
Miners are required to reduce 2,74
70 a19O pounds to get pay for ton.
In an average year 487 miners ar
killed. 4s4 fatally wounded and l,So
others injured-eight times the casua
cities recorded in the cnban campaig
in the war with Spain.

COAL DELIVERED IN STATE.

vanguard, in the center came hun
CRY looking mule, drawing a dilapi-

which was perched an important son

and with clothing almost in tatters.
In the rear came two more mounted
Jfficers. Solemnly the procession
moved. The policemen did not enjoy
their task, but the son of Ham was
delighted and displayed his full set
of teeJn, the cause of his mirth being
the merciless chatting to which I'll,

A NEW CONSERVATORY.
Old Rose Houses ON West Side
of White House.

From plans drawn for the new con-
seryatory to be constructed upon the
site of the old rose houses on the west
side of the white house, 1t is shown
that Mrs. Roosevelt has again usedher
own individual taste. The house will
be circular in shape. The plants will
occupy the outer circle next to the
ter will contain highly ornamental
fountain with fish in the basin and
groups of plants artisticallyarranged.
There will be an abundance of room
for walks through the plants and sit
ting room near the center, where
chairs and tables can be arra nged when
desired.
The houses will be brilliantlyEg lighted
with myriads of small electric lights,
and OF easy access from the ground
floor of the white house, through the
entrance used by the president in 60
ing to and from his offices.
Nothought whatever had beengiven
to the white house Conservatives,
and it was feared that most of the
plants would have to be removed to
remote quarters. However, IS soon as
Mrs. Roosevelt arrived and saw the I'M
happy state of mind of the head gar
dener, Pfster, who has been in the
white house conse rvatories since An
drew Johnson's time, she at once set
about having more extensive plans
made for the floral treasures.
The rev conservatory plans are APP
proved by Mrs, Roosevelt, and 1t will
surpass the old one removed from the
foundation of the west wing to give
room for the presidents offices.

crease in imports of Sl7,775,000 and an

Word has been received at the white
house that the new, dinner set, consist
ing of 800 or 900 pieces, which was or
dered by Mrs. Roosevelt from England,
will be shipped in time for the state
dinners in January. The design of the
china is the simplest ever ordered By
a mistress of the white house, having
gold border and the great seal of
the United States done in colors as the
only decoration. The price of the
china was much less than $4,000,
which it was said to have cost. 1t is a
much needed acquisition, however,
and its order foretells much larger
dinners at the white house than have
been given there before. In ordering
this china. Mrs. Roosevelt had in mind
not so much the distinctive beauty
of the design as its adaptability to
use in connection with the other rare
china already in the white house. 1t
is much like the china left there by
Dolly Madison. except the gold Of that
early day fired red, while that of the

INTERESTING WAR STORY.
How Tad Lincoln Kept the Pennsyl-
vanla BucltaiIs on Guard at
the White House.

One Of the visitors at the white house
the other day was G. n Mcdowell, of
jamestown, Pa, who had most inter
esting Lincoln story to tell Of how
Tad Lincoln kept the Pennsylvania
private bucktails on duty as guards
at the white house during a part OF
the civil war. The bucktails were sta
toned on the south front lawn from
1862 to 1865 and were ordered to join
their regiment and leave for the front.
When Tad Lincoln, who spent much
of his time with the soldiers, heard
the news, he was grieved beyond meas
ure and asked if there was not some
way in which the men could be con-
tinued on duty at the executive man
sion. He walked back and forth be-
tween the camping ground and the
white house all day, and paid them
what was supposed to be farewell
visit at nine p. m, when he again i'm
plored the men not to go to the front.
Some one told him that if he would
go to Secretary Stanton and get an
order for $50 bucktails to be kept at
the white house and then get his ia
Their to sign the order the men would
not have to go. The lad sought the
secretary of war and secured the covet-
ed order.
President Lincoln was much sur
prised to have Tad pay him late call,
carrying in his hand the secretary's
order. A brief explanation followed
and Tad urged his father to sign the
paper. After some hesitancy the presi-
dent did sign it, and the young enthusi-
asst carried the order triumphantly to
the captain of the company. Three
cheers went up for Tad. And that"
