CANAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Governor OdeIIs Plans Call For Ex-
 pemditure of BPS. 800. 900.

 ALBANY, N. T., Jan. 10.-Governor Odell has been informed by the attor- ney general that it would be unconsti- tutional to submit two distinct proposi- tions relative to canal improvement to the people at the next general election As result he intimates that the two propositions-one for deepening the ca nals and the other for lengthening the locks-will probably be combined. It Is expected that bill will be prepar- ed at once and introduced on next Monday night calling for the submis- sion to the people of a proposition ito expend $2S, ,800,O00 on canal improve ment.
 The measure will contain all of tho salient points of the governors recon mendations, and it is believed that it will meet with the approval of nearly all of the conservative canal men. The number of locks on the canal are to be reduced from seventy-two to forty four, all of which are to be made lon- ger than the present ones. A nine foot level will also be secured by this plan.

Cases of Young Men Settled Up in
 Borough Court To-Day.

The adjourned hearing in the eases of Charles Carty, Charles Welch, Thomas Brennan, Michael Lundy and James Anderson, the young men who were implicated in the disgraceful fight in Fecker's saloon on Christmas eve, was held before Deputy Judge Hamilton in the borough court this morning. The evidence introduced by the state was to the effect that the fight was started in the saloon by An derson and he was ordered out by the bartender. When he went out the crowd followed and general melee took place in which stones were thrown and several of the partici- pants received hard knocks. It was while they were pitching into Ander- son outside the saloon that George Beck and his knife came into the fight. The court was unable to learn just what caused the fight and what evidence was obtained was obtained only by hard work. as all the young men either did not wish to testify or their memories were weak on the questions asked by the court in rela- tion to how the fight started. The court learned, however, that Welch called Anderson a vile name and that Anderson then started in to do Welch up The bartender ordered Anderson out of the saloon and Welch and the others implicated followed and contin- ued the fight outside. After Prose cutting Attorney Sweeney had com pleted his argument in regard to the case, the court discharged Brennan and Lundy with severe lecture and fined Anderson and Carty $1O and costs each. amounting to S33.90. In regard to Welch, the court admins tered a severe lecture and fined him s without costs. The fines were paid in all cases.

her life, but although got there in very quick time, and clubbed the dogs off of the doe, they had injured her so badly that I had to kill her. The season for legal killing of deer was over, but neither George Killam nor I could see any good reason why we should let that nice fat lot of venison, although we had to kill it against our will, lie there and be feed for dogs, so we took it ourselves.
 "'Those internal dogs said I to George. have cost me the landing of the boss pickerel of Big Pond.' for I hadn't the slightest idea that the pickerel would stay on the hook and wait to have the fight out with me.
 Consequently, when got back to my tip-up and saw it still in the air, I was considerably surprised. but when took hold of the line to haul it up and got a jerk that almost pulled me into the hole, could hard ly believe it could be. A second jerk, though, woke me up.
 George I hollered, 'blamed if he hain't waited for me!'
 T took up the fight where I had left it, and by and by had the old walloper out on the ice, where he tried his best to get at me and snap his jaws on me, until knocked him in the Lead with an ax
 Now, to say pickerel weighed nine pounds may not seem very big, but in a country where, if fellow catches one that weighs three pounds he will walk ten miles to tell about it, a nine-pounder is more than a whopper. And that is what this one that waited to have it's fight out with me until I went and killed deer weighed-nine pounds''

Grow, or in 1s49, and, like Grow, his service was not continuous, but the time between that N date and his death in 1897 was two. years shorter than the half century which the Pennsylvanian has rounded out. Clay's career, which was notably long, covered, from his entrance into the senate in 1906 to his death in 1852 while member of that body, four years less than half century, and his service, too, was not. contin- uous. lyna4
 The eminent Pennsy1vanian has still other claims to distinction. He was one of the most powerful and persistent of the champions in con- gress of the Pacific railroad. He was the author of the homestead bill, which had bad fortune for several years-having, after repeated fail- ures, got as far as one president (Bu- chanan) only to be vetoed by him, but was, when passed subsequently,, approved by another president Gin-
 oln). Grow had the honor of putt ting his own signature to it on the latter occasion as speaker of the house. That act has done more to people the west than has any other single law ever placed on the nation al statute book. This man, who was in congress with Clay, Benton, Cass, Douglas, Seward, Chase, Jefferson Davis and Sam Houston, has wit messed stupendous changes in his country's condition and history.

He was admitted to the bar in 1857 and at once located at Goshen, Elkhart county, Ind. Tn 1862 Judge Baker was elected to the state senate and served with distinction. Twelve years later he was elected to congress from the Thirteenth district, was reelected in 1s74, and again in 1878. and voluntarily retired at the end of his third term.
 After that Judge Baker won distinc- tion as lawyer, and in 1892, when the vacancy occurred in the district court by reason of the elevation of Judge Woods to the circuit court of appeals, he was appointed to the district bench, and his work here induced his friends to urge him for succession to higher place. Judge Bakers work as federal judge has been characterized by great ability, energy and industry, and his many friends took great interest in his appointment.

MORE STEAMSHIPS.

TNe well-authenticated rumor that
the great French line, the Messagerie
Naritimes, which now connects Mar
settles with Australia and the Far
East. will put on a line to Tahiti. Ha-
wall and California, is bound to cause
much interest here. 1t is enc OF the
signs OF the fulfilment of Stewards ia
nous prophecy about the future of the
Pacific but its more intimate meaning
To us is one OF competition in freight
ana pass snger rates on the southern
section Of the line, the Improvement
and increase Of our distant markets
and the building up of the foreign end
Of our tourist trade.
Those who have travelled on the ASH
attic line Of the Messagerie Maritlmes
speak warmly Of the service given. Tn,
vessels are well-manned and staunch
their cabins are roomy; their cuisine Il
distinctiyely French. The good lucl
which has gone with them Is in sharI
contrast to the bad luck which has
for so many years, accompanied th'
vessels of the great French line on tn,

THE TUATUA EXPERIMENT.

The statement that tuatua VIII be
given up because an active poison has
been found in it's seeds is one of those
poor excuses which can hardly be call
ed better than none. There are plenty
of poisons used in various treatments
of the body, strychnine, chloroform
iaudanum among them, so why not tua-
tua? Besides, ii was known all along
that il was the poison of the anti-lep-
rous shrub fighting the poison of the
leprous germ which brought about the
Tahitian cures. Tuatua was not rec
commended for trial by the United
States government because 1t Is a
bread pill OF some other innoouous
compound; but because it is n powerful
toxic drug which, used in the right
proportions, sometimes carries the lep-
err through pain and tribulation to good
health.
Ii may be that the poor results noted
at Molokai are not all due to the short
time so far consumed in the trial,
There is a hint in the affair that the
seeds have been left out of the tincture,
which is TO say that the medicine has
been prepared without its active prin-
ciplc. If that is so the experiments are
worthless.
1t is the unwillingness of the Board
OF Health TO search for cure for lep-
rosy with unremitting energy and zeal
which has given the advocates of Fed
eral control Of the Settlement so much
leeway. The Advertiser insists that
the chief aim OF the board should be 10
ind the antidote which exists some
where in the laboratory of nature for
this particular bane. Segregation is
| good IN Its way, but 1t is only half way
| The one great desideratum is a cure,

The Chamber OF Commerce did the
just thing in backing up the Board of
Health in the matter of the charges
brought by Delegate Wilcox. These
charges are utterly irresponsible and
we happen to know that they disguised
the Senatorial Commission. Even Bur
ton could not stomach them despite the
ease with which he assimilated some OF
Humphreys libels. However II Is well
on general principles to have the Board
commended to Washington by so pow
erful non-partisan body as the Cham
Der OF Commerce, and to have VII

as tAey deserve.
