HER SPLENDID ISOLATION.
Joseph Chamberlain Says Great Brit.
ain Must Maintain 1t.


London, Jan. Sin speaking at Bir-
mingham, Joseph Chamberlain. the
colonial secretary referred to the
hatred and jealousy of Great Britain
which is entertained abroad and de-
MED that this was due to the existence
OF particularly wicked government.
"This is no new thing in history"
he said, "and we must maintain our
splendid isolation, surrounded and
supported by OUR colonial kinsfolk."
While fully admitting the necessity
of finding new markets and keeping
abreast of modern times and methods.
Mr.. Chamberlain saw no sign of any
imminent or pressing danger to Brit
ish trade. He said:
During the last five years we have
enjoyed an absolutely unparalleled
condition of trade and for the future
the prospects are exceedingly good"
The colonial secretary strongly de-
precated any attempts on the part of
the trades unions to restrict the out
put and reduce all workmen to dead
level of mediccrity. In this connec-
ton the speaker referred to the opin-
ions of Senator Hanna and President
Schwab of the steel corporation on
this subject

ls Measure.

Washington, Jan. 8.-There was a
fairly large attendance in the galleries
of the house in anticipation of the
opening of the debate on the Mica
raguan canal bill which had been made

chair) for the consideration of the ca
nal bill and Mr.. Hepburn Qa), the
chairman of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, which re-
ported the bill, took the floor to open
the debate. He said the subject of a
waterway across the isthmus connect
ing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
had been in the minds of the people of
the world for more than four hundred
years.
In the United States 81 states had
instructed their congressional delega-
tions to support a bill for an inter
oceanic waterway; all political parties
has aligned themselves in favor of it;
the question had been discussed in
congress, scientific societies and news
papers until there was now volume
of literature on the subject never be-
fore devoted to single project.
Mr.. Hepburn spoke for fully two
hours and was followed by Mr.. Davis
(Fla.) in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Richardson (Ala.) supported the
bill. He was followed by Mr.. Mann

.SCHLEY APPEALS Case
Admiral Schley Appeals His Case to
the President as Highest Author
ity in Land.
Admiral and Attorneys Preparing
Facts in Controversy for Presen-
tation to Him.
Papers Not to be Submitted Before
the End of the Month, as That
Time is Required. 4.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The object OF
Admiral Schley's visit to the White
House Monday was to request the
president to entertain and consider
an appeal for the reversal of the ac-
tion of Secretary Long and the dis
approval of the majority judgment of
the court of inquiry. The interview
was satisfactory, the president grant
ing the admira1's request. Messrs.
Rayner and league will assist Admir-
al Schley in the preparation Of the ap-
peal
The interview with the president
was arranged in advance and at its
conclusion Admiral Schley left the
White House in satisfied frame of
mind. He had been given a full oppor-
tunity to present the case from his
standpoint and to acqualnt the presi-
dent of many details of which the lat
ter could not have any knowledge
While Admiral Schley would not make
any statement regarding the matter
discussed, holding that an interview
between naval chief and his COM
mander-in-chief should be regarded as
confidential, it is understood that he
brought to the presidents attention
many of the alleged injustices and dis
crepancies of the majority report of
the court of inquiry.
Admiral Schley's interview with the
president was the result of his deter
mination to exhaust every means in
his power to overturn the judgment
which has been rendered against him.
His new appeal will be different from
that submitted to the navy depart
ment, bringing out some new facts
which have an important bearing upon
the controversy.
Messrs. Rayner and league, counsel
for Rear Admiral Schley, came over
from Baltimore and were closeted for
several hours with their client. The
following statement was given out by
Admiral Schley's counsel at the con-
clusion of the conference:
"Admira! Schley has decided to ap-
peal from the majority opinion of the
court of inquiry to the president of the
United States as the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy. This &C.
ton has been decided upon, nothing
more can be divulged at this time, the
regulations of the navy being such
that tho nfure of the proposed appeal
Cannot he revealed except by the pres
ident after the formal documents have
been filed whit him.
Mr.. Rayner stated that it will take
some time to prepare the appeal and
that it will not be filed with the presi-
dent until after the return of Admiral
Schley from his visit to Savannah,
about the goth instant.

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

h Minneapolis, Jan. S.-There was not
much news to encourage the bulls in
wheat and they appeared to be very
much disappointed. Liverpool disre-
garded yesterdays decline the same as
the rise the day before The weather
map continues to display most satis-
factory weather and is a great factor
in influencing the average trader who
is overlooking the fact that the worst
weather and damage possibilities to the
growing plant is still before us.
Should temperature continue to rise it
will undoubtedly develop much dam
age to the growing plant owing to lack
Of moisture and extreme cold during
December. There were 800 cars here
against 230 a. year ago. Liverpool
cables closed 1sc higher than yester-
day Notwithstanding the indifference
shown here. It is during these period )
when the wise trader takes on some
wheat.
Corn was somewhat neglected today
as in early trade in wheat there was
nothing to influence the trade. Re-
ceipts were SO cars against an estimate
Of 65. The moderate weather will
temporarily relieve the immediate
wants wa and :. s.ders withdraw bids
well as elevator people, We do not
believe, however, that this will give us
soft Spots for investments
Oats are standing on their merits.
They are as stubborn as ever and the
next upturn will make new record
price for them. We have repeatedly
advised their purchase but if you doubt
our Judgment it will be pretty good
way to find out how much money can
be made on the short side of this grain
market.
PROVISIONS: Hogs are coming in
quite freely. The weather and prices
being most favorable. Provisions are
very quiet and the trade is waiting
further developments, hoping that
something favorable to a decline may
dsrr'alnspire. There is not the usual
outs outside long interest in provisions ow-
Ing to prices being high. But we con-
tend that owing to the unusual condi-
lions, they are not as high as they will
be. Stocks are not large and in good
demand and best authorities predict
material advance very early in the
spring.
