Private Corporation to Submit a Plan
to Senate Committee.

Private Corporation to Submit Plan
to Senate Committee.
New York, Jan. 16.-Plans for new
ship canal will be presented to the
senate committee on canals by the
American Isthmus Canal company
and the 1sthmus company, both cor
porations of New Jersey. The route
for the canal proposed is from the Gulf
of San Bias to the Pacific ocean, be-
hind the Pearl islands, and is called
the Mardigo route. It will be proposed
that the company build the work un-
der the supervision and protection of
the government without any cost to
the United States, which will be asked
to guarantee the bonds of the COM
pany. The company will propose that
the government have the use of the
canal free of charge for all government
vessels and if at any time the company
does not do as agreed, the government
shall take possession of the canal.
The company asserts that it has Sc
cured right of way. The newly sug-
gested route is less than 80 miles long
and therefore is shorter than any other
so far proposed. No engineering diff
ficulties are encountered, it's support
ers say, until a spur of the Andes is
reached. This mountain chain much
be pierced by a tunnel seven miles
long. In the tunnel a trolley appliance
would tow the ships. General Serrell,
who is at the head of the project, was
engineer of the Panama railroad and
has acted as engineer for the govern

Wilhelm der Crosse of the North Ger
man Lloyd line, just arrived from Bre
man., Southampton and Cherbourg,
was for the trip to the eastward and
a large part of her westward voyage

Marconi system that we have ever

the latter's instruments. On Dec. 16,
off the banks of Newfoundland, the
Kaiser ran into a heavy fog. Late on
Monday night the Kaiser ran into clear
weather again. Herr Kronkent flash.

Sixty miles astern. Many thanks
Communications between the two
vessels ceased on Tuesday morning,
Dec. II, when we were IS miles apart
and practically half way across the
ocean and after we had conversed
nearly 66 hours"

information as to whether the British

FORAKER ON ROOSEVELT.
Praises the President in Accepting the
Ohio Senatorship.

Ohio Senatorship.
Columbus, O., Jan. 16.-In his speech
accepting the Ohio senatorship Jo-
seph B. Foraker paid graceful com
pliment to President Roosevelt. After
referring feelingly to the assassination
of President Mckinley, he continued:
I'VE cannot any more have the ben
eft of his helpful leadership, but it is
just cause for the most sincere con-
graduation that we find one altogeth er
worthy to be his successor in the per-
son of Theodore Roosevelt He may
be less patient and more aggressive.
but in intellectual endowment. in
scholarly culture, in broad-minded
Americanisn, integrity OF character
and in patriotic purpose, he has never
been excelled by any occupant of the
White House. I am sure I hazard moth
ing in predicting for his administra-
tion the most unqualified appreciation
of the American people.
Under his guidance we shall con-
tlnue to go forward in the achieve
ment of prosperity for the American
people and glory and honor of the
American republic
II account it great piece of good
fortune to have been identified as your
representative with the administration
OF William Mckinley. I account it an
other piece of most singular good for
tune that under the command you now
give me have the privilege of being
also identified with the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt"

ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION.
Address on Anarchy by Recorder
Golf of New York City.

New York, Jan. 16.-Recorder Golf
has Just made an address before the
Nineteenth Century club upon An
archy'' which is attracting considerable
attention here. In part the recorder
said: @ ...
For us who are gathered here in
this we'll appointed and beautifully
decorated chamber under the glare of
these electric lights it is perfectly
proper to agree that anarchy is abom-
Unable. We would be false to our sur
roundings if we did not. We are all
we'll dressed and pretty well to do
financially and it is only natural for us
to take the position of the party in pos
session. o.. +.
i think We assume little too much
II we make the mistake of congratu-
lating ourselves on the present state
of our society, on our position in it..
Arlstocracy and nobility in France
took the same position before the revo-
luton. B@ was not it their lives
which caused the revolution? The
mobiles amused themselves in luxury
and wealth while the people starved.
Who we're the anarchists? The peo-
pie or they?"
Recorder Golf said that in our efforts
to devise legislation for repressing
anarchy there was grave danger that
we might go to the other extremes.
You cannot extirpate ideas by legis-
lation,' he said Laws never made
men and women virtuous. Do not en-
deayor to repress an idea. If the idea
is right it will triumph, and the repres-
Sive method will prove On1v so much
fuel to feed the flames. When wrong
ideas die of themselves. In dealing
with anarchy let us remember that i,
our government is founded on right
eousness, then anarchy is craze and
this craze will pass as other crazes
have in the worlds history"

ONE OF THE GUARDS SHOT.
Lynchers Attack the Jail at FIeminqs-
burg, Ky. s

Maysville, Ky., Jan. 16-Sixty
would-be lynchers attacked the Jail at
Flemingsburg, near here, before day
light. The Jail was stout1y defended
against the determined assault by the,
strong guard under Sheriff Collins and
an exciting time followed The object
of the lynching party was to get hold
of Charles Gaskins, colored, who killed
James Ryan, the son of Officer Ryan
OF Flemingsburg. last summer. Gas
kins had been kept in the jail in New
port ever since the crime, but he had
to be removed to F1emingsburg, Tues
day, his trial having been set in the
circuit court there. Every precaution
was taken to prevent his seizure. An
additional number Of deputies were
sworn in and stationed about the Jail.
The mob arrived at the prison early in
the morning and made a demand for
Gaskins. The sheriff refused and the
mob attempted to take the negro.
They could get no admission. Win
dows were broken in the hope of
gaining an entrance but this failed.
Finally dynamite was tried. A dyna-
mite cartridge was thrown but it fell
short. One of the guards ran to get it,
but was shot and wounded by the in
furiated mob.
Day breaking the would-be lynchers.
fearing identification, disappeared.
More trouble is feared and the guards
have been doubled

STEEL TRUST IN ENGLAND.
Promoters of the Combination Making
Good PROGRESS.

aOoo Progress.
New York, Jan. 16.-The negotia.
tions respecting the purchasing or
consolidation of the largest steel and
iron works in England are still in
progress, cables the London CORE
spondent of The Tribune John R.
Bartlett, who is organizing the com
bination, declines to give any particu.
lars regarding what is going on, OF
even to discuss the subject at all while
negotiations are pending. He consid-
ers that premature announcements are
mischievous and unfair to all interests
involved. 1t is evident, however, that
he expects to carry out the plan of
consolidation, which he has laid before
the principal manufacturers. It will
require time and labor, as the under
taking is an immense one and cannot
be pushed too rapidly.
A series of minor amalgamations
must precede the final combination,
as was the case when the United
States Steel corporation was organ
lied. Time will be required for work
ing out these details. Mr.. Bartlett.
far from being discouraged, is greatly
encouraged, and clearly expects to
carry out his plan in the course of this
year.. There is no connection between
the United States Steel corporation
and the proposed English combination.

NEARING ITS CONCLUSION.
King Edwards Remarks Regarding
South African War.

London. Jan. 16.-King Edward has
given the royal endorsement to the
belief current among the public that
an early declaration of peace in South
Africa may be anticipated.
"The war might now be regarded as
approaching its conclusion" were the
words used by his majesty in address
ing the officers of the guards after re
viewing a draft of 1,200 of the Gren-
adiers, Cold Streams and Scots guards,
who start for South Africa at once.
II The kings speech, otherwise, was
not important. His majesty was ae-
companied by the Prince Of Wales, the
Duke of Connaught. the Duke of Cam
bridge and Lord Roberts, surrounded
by brilliant statfs. a large gathering
of privileged guests viewed the func-
tion. .55

HIS NERVE WAS GONE. /.
Fatal HaIIucination of an Engineer
After Railroad Wreck.

Peru, Ind, Jan. ia danger which
really existed only in a mind over
wrought by dwelling on recent railroad
wrecks brought fatal injuries to J. 3.
Sible, an old and trusted engineer Of
the Wabash railroad.
Sible was at the throttle of the big
locomotive of the limited. His fire.
man, Burt Frick, noticed nothing un-
usual about his conduct, unless it was
that he was more quiet and somewhat
more uneasy in his expression than
usual. The train was laundering along
at rate of 40 miles an hour, when
the lights of the town of Attica ap-
peared. The track was clear, and the
signal lights of the switch showed an
unobstructed path Suddenly the old
engineer gave start and shouted to
his companion:
Jump for your life, Burt, the switch
is turned and we'll crash into -
Z The sentence was not finished, for in
an instant Sible had applied the safety
brake, reversed the lever, and had
jumped to. escape the specter his
harassed nerves had conjured up. The
fireman followed, but was not injured
The train came to stop and Frick
went back to find his engineer The
latter lay on the roadbed, horribly in
jured. His skull had been crushed, an
arm and leg broken, his ribs fractured
and his spine injured.
Meanwhile an Investigation showed
that there had been no danger to the
train. Sible was brought to hospital
here, where he managed to gasp out
his story.
According to Fireman Frick, up to
the time of the wreck at Lafayette,
some months ago, Sible had been a
man of absolutely perfect nerves. ST
Bile was in that wreck, and ever since
he had possessed fear of future
trouble. 3.,s

SOLVING a PROBLEM.

The Green Country Brakeman Who
Introduced the "Saw By.''
! Many years ago a green country boy
applied to the superintendent of a
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendent
wish, op account Of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such occupa-
don, was given place as brakeman of
a freight train. il .ss5.ss. \, +: II
On one Of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight train
at station where the sidetrack was
not long enough to accommodate either
of them. The conductors were debat-
ing which train should back up to q
point where they could pass when the
new hand Yentured to suggest that net-
ther should back; that they could pass
each other by means Of the short side
track If the thing was managed right. !,
The idea excited good deal Of
laughter On the part Of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
We'll, how would you 60 about it?'
asked one Of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
ngainst a stump.
The boy took up q stick and traced in
the. sand a diagram to, illustrate his
plan.
'.Good graciousr' said the conductor.
Il believe that will do it!''
And it did do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how,
to saw by two long trains on d short
sidetrack, but it is not so generally
known that the thing was never done
until an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager Of great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself. l8 II,

There is a probability that North
Dakota will at this session of congress

When congress passed an act for the
division of Dakota territory into two

Dakota, in addition to oher lands, 17O,-

educational, charitable and other pur-
poses as We're not mentioned in the
act providing for statehood. These
lands, by a provision OF the North Da-

lows: 10000 acres to the insane hos
pital; 10000 acres to the soldiers
home, 10000 acres to the blind asylum,
10000 acres to the Industrial school Of
manual training. This exhausted the
grant, and left nothing for the school
of forestry, which by the same consti-
tuition was to be ocated in McHenry
Ward, Boftineau or Rolette counties,
as might be determined at a general
election. The election was held and

BE Patient with Pussy.

If you want to train cat properly.

pid animal pictured BY common super
stition. Cats certainly are not SO in
telligent as dogs. Neither are they so
5sociable. But once they get to know
what is wanted Of them they are easi-
III induced to do It to the best Of their
ability Kindness and patience go q
long way with eats. A little whole
some correction is good for q dog. but
use q whip to- d cat for one time only,
even II ever SO sparingly, and Its value
as q trick animal Is destroyed forever
Cats are simply bundles Of nerves cov-
cred over with fur. and even an unkind
word or n glance from any one they
love Wal cause them acute suffering.

Crisis in the Industry.

European countries had met this by
bounties so that the German producer,
by means of a bounty, was able to sell
of production. The cost Of production
in Cuba was 2.O6 cents per pound,
which was somewhat above the sell
ing price. Mr.. Atkins stated there was
now about $20,000,000 worth of stand
ing cane in Cuba and at present prices
a considerable part of this would not
be harvested. While not an alarmist,
he said the effect would be serious loss
to the planters and the labor employed.
The loss to labor, he thought, was
likely to lead to disturbances. At the
time set for the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops there would be in his opin-
ion a deficit in the insular revenues
which were largely recruited from the
sugar industry. !.
Mr., Atkins said that SO per cent
reduction Of duties was desired Oh va
rious large products of the island, but
in response to inquiries from Mr..
Payne he said that the sugar industry
felt they should have a 100 per cent
reduction.
Mr.. Atkins said the opposition to
Cuban reciprocity came from several
sources, namely the domestic beet su-
gar industry, the Hawaiian sugar
plants and the Porto Rican and Louis
lana cane sugar plants, aggregating
about $4,000 tons production. 49,.
In reply to a question by Mr.. Payne
he said that the Cuban sugar industry
was owned by citizens of the United
States NJ &,
In addition to adding prosperity to
Cuba Mr.. Atkins maintained that it
would benefit the people Of the United
States, including a reduction in the
price of sugar to the people, Asked by
Mr.. Payne if his sugar business was
profitable last year Mr.. Atkins said
he conceded it had, but general in
quiry among planters showed that they
had not done profitable business.
