The experiment Of 3 municipal laundry,
where washerwomen can do their WORK, is by
no means o new idea. 1t has been tried
successfully in many Of the larger European
cities and with much success. That there
is q great health menace In permitting
washerwomen to clean soiled clothes in the
same place ard at the same time that food
for human consumption is being cooked,
there can be NO doubt. That this practice
is very Injurious must be admitted, and the
municipality is to be congratulated on its
adop ion Of plan which has proven success
Sal in other cities.

New York, March 22nd = Accord
ing to advices received from Wash
|ington this morning, the friends Of
the Nicaraguan rou'e were never
more hopeful than now, owing 10 the
action OF the Colombian government
in insisting that the French Company
shall turn over TO that government
a certain portion of the price receiv-
ed for the sale OF the rights to the
Canal rou.e. This the French
company will not do, and the State
Department has refused TO be a
party to any attempt to take away
from the French stockholders the
little received for their investments.
In an interview bad with Admiral
Walker, head ofthe technical Com
mission, that officer stated, that il
the Colombian government was not
prompt in throwing ss'de this
attempt at extortion, that he would
recommend, without conditions, the
adoption OF the Nicaraguan route
Colombia it seems is determined
that the American government shall
no have the canal without the
payment of an exorbitant sum for
it. The Technical Commission and
the Congressional Committee will
resume their sessions on Monday

will be made before Congress ad

would mean to the island Of Porto Rico, it
would pay one, to watch the work of coaliDg

ones OF the navy, there is always sufficient
work about them when coaling, to employ at
least one hundred men. It is sight well

WASHINGTON LEARNS OF RICHMOND

Washington can learn of her sister

southern city for the first time. du'
ring the sitting of the National Negro
Business League, the volume of bust
ness done and the money handled by
colored men were a revelation, and
the commendable unity of effort was
an inspiration and an education. We
have been in the habit of expressing
great SORROW for our 'unfo ttunate"
brethren of the South in long speeches
and platitudinous resolutions, and eI'
alting ourselves as a people who be
longed to a special dispensation. As
matter of fact when the evidence is
carefully gone over, the colored people
of such thriving commercial cities as
Richmond, Atlanta, Birmingham and
New Orleans are apt to feel a keen
sympathy for the superficial business
conditions found in the District of
Columbia. While some of us are do
ing we'll, We can and ought to be doing
better. A population of 80, 900 ought
