The Panama Canal in Fiction.

Now that Panama Canal seems TO be
an assured tact II is interesting 70 note
that President Aaron Burr not only
built il as far back as 1872. but settled
the slavery question in his Utopian
America at the same time-that is. ac-
cordIng to Charles FELTON, Pidgin in his
fancitul romance entitled The Climax, ;"
which has The very explanatory sub
title OF "What Might Have Been. ."
This book is TO be issued by the c. NJ.
Clark company next month. 1t seems
that Aaron Burr had been president
tour years and was soon To be reelected
for d second term when he solved the
difficulty OF securing the men of
bone and sineW who could stand the de
pressing climate OF the Isthmus for
building the Panama Canal, by issuing
a message to Congress i'll which he
but let Us quote the author;
He declared that while African slav-
cry had been tolerated, during the
period OF colonization, the time had
come Ior the settlement of the great
moral question. lie declared that The
Panama Canal must be built He then
proceeded 10 show how 1t could be CON
structed in a manner, the most advall-
tageous TO the well-being and future
prosperity of the country. The num-
her of slaves in the country at that
time was about one million two hum
dred thousand. The President suggest
ed that a commission be appointed to
fix the value OF these slaves 70 their
masters, bearing in mind the questions
of sex, age, sickness, decrepitude, or
any form Of disability. He advised
the payment of one-ffth of the sum so
adjudicated in cash: for the remainder,
Government bonds were to be issued,
bearing low rate of interest and pay
able in instalments the next ten years.
Recognizing that human nature is a
fact not easily influenced by argument,
he counseled the migration of blacks
from the Southern States to Mexico
and Central America (Which territory
Burr had already taken from the Span
ish). ...... He further argued that
those blacks possessing mechanical
knowledge could be employed by the
Government for term Of years i'll the
construction OF public works, after
which time their services il similar
capacity would be needed in Mexico and
Central Ameri ca, their future home.

I've Bosch and Palmietknill The Boers charged on three sides.
 Five hundred and fifty men have come in at Maribogs and Kraaipan. They were pursued by the Boers four
 miles from the scene of the action They report that Methuen and Paris with

 by the Boers. I have no details of the casualties, and suggest delaying publi-
 cation till I can send definite news
 think this sudden revival of activity on
 the part of Delarey is to draw off the

 In the second dispatch, dated Sunday, March g, Lord Kitchener says;
 Paris has come in at kraaipan with
 the remainder of the men. He reports
 that the column was moving in two par ties. One with the OK wagons left I've bosch al 5 a. m. The other, with the mule wagons, started an hour later Just before dawn the Boers attacked
 Before endorsements could reach them the rear guard broke. Tn the meantime a large number of Boers galIoped up on both Hanks. These at first were checked by flank parties, but the panic and stampede of the mules had begun, and all the mule wagons, with ter rife mixture of mounted men, rushed past the OK wagons. All efforts to check them were unavailing Major Paris collected forty men and occupied a position a mile in front of the OK wagons, which were then halted. After a gallant, but useless, defence, the enemy rushed into the OK wagons. and Nta+l T Paris, being surrounded, surrendered at 10 a. m. Methuen is still in the Boer camp
 The paper correspondents in South Africa have not yet been allowed to de- scribe the affair. The only additional details available are contained in fur ther dispatch from Lord Kitchener which MT, Brodrick, the secretary for war, read just as parliament was ad- journing. This dispatch shows that the first confusion was caused by native Boers with led horses who galoped through the mule convoy as the mule l convoy was endeavoring, by Lord Meth l uen's direction to close on the ox con voy. The disorder among the mules | communicated itself to the mounted 1, troops, and the Boers, dressed in khaki l and riding alongside the wagons, frus- | trated all the attempts of the British | officers to rally their forces.

 clude Lieutenants G. R. Vennlng and
 T. P W. Nesham of the Royal Artil- lery, who were both killed while serW-
 ing their guns with case-shot. | As Lord Kitchener announces that Ma jor Paris had surrendered, and also
 telegraphed that he had reached kraai- pan with the remainder of the men, 1t would seem that the Boers subsequent ly released the major and his com- panions.
 Lord Kitchener's dispatches were read in both the House of Lords and the House of Commons to-day by Lord Roberts, the commander-in-ch and Mir Brodrick, the war secretary, re- spectiVely. They both paid tributes to
 General Methuen, the former express ing his appreciation of Methuen's slic- cess throughout the war, declaring that his task of forcing the Boer posi- ton at Magersfontein was an almost impossible one.
 Lord Roberts, who announced the British disaster in the House of Lords, said General Methuen, for over two eyars, had carried on his work with zeal, intelligence and great perseVer- ance, adding that the general was be- loved by his men and that no work was too dangerous or difficult for them or General Methuen.
 The commander-in-c chief said he was p 5IsipNpI at what had occurred. He would ask their lordships to concur with him in his sympathy for the gallant officer in his present unfortunate position and defer adverse criticism till they had definite information as to who was di- rectly responsible. From Delarey's conduct throughout the war they could all be assured that General Methuen would be taken good care of
 Lord Spencer Liberal, the former president of the council, said he thor oughly believed in General Methuen's seriousness. He did not want to offer a hint of criticism at the present mo- ment
 The premier, Lord Salisbury also eX- pressed deep sympathy with General Methuen under the present unfortunate circumstances. He said it was not the time to discuss his action. He had all ways acted with the greatest gallantry and the premier therefore, thought they should defer criticism or eXamina- tion of the very sad intelligence until the details arrived. His lordship was convinced General Methuen had done his best in connection with this melan- choly affair.
 The feeling of depression in the lob bies of the House of Commons over the news of the disaster in south Africa was very marked The service mem- 2. bers of the house expressed the opinion that it will neeessitate sending fresh i troops to the front while the belief
