ernment over the zone of land through
 which the canal is to be constructed during the process of such construc- ton and it is more than probable that the building of the canal will be large ly under the supervision of the army and navy authorities. It is pointed out that such supervision would afford the best opportunities to the military officers of the United States to study the conditions surrounding the canal and the information so obtained would be most valuable from strategic standpoint. Under the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty the United States will have the right to fortify the canal and the navy department has already developed a strategic program of considerable magnitude which includes coaling sta tions and bases of supplies in that vi cinity. The presence of United States troops along the canal during it's con- struction, it is believed, will be regard ed favorably by Colombia as making for peaceful and orderly conditions. The large force of laborers which it will be necessary to employ will be of a most polyglot description and the presence of the trcgps would have most salutary effect upon them. Ow- ing to the necessity of submitting the treaty to the Colombian government, which necessity is maintained by Sen or Concha, the treaty will not be signed until fall, but Secretary Hay still hopes that it will be ready for sub mission to the senate as soon as con- gress convenes.

IN THE sTEERAGR.

The Liverpool Journal of Commerce of recent date has an interesting inter- view with Edmund Taylor, whose retirement from the firm of Messrs Richardson, Spence & Go has recently been announced. MT Taylor has had a strenuous. commercial and public life, extending over a period of fifty-four years, which has been full of stirring incident and revolutionary change es- pecialEy i'll regard to shipping. Tn reply to questions MT Taylor said:
 'sI am retiring simply because think I have done enough and want to take things easier for the remainder of my life.''
 The enormous change in the condi- tions of emigration during the last fifty years has been fraught with preg- nant interest to Mr Taylor
 Before 1850, emigrants were carried wholly by sailing ships, principally owned by the Americans,' he said. 'In the late forties the berths were five ill a line on each side of the ship without any division. so that passen- gers nearest the ships side had to scramble over the top of the other owners of hunks.
 "All the baggage was dashed to stanchions ill the middle of tween decks. This baggage was the only thing emigrants had to sit down upon. All the men, women and children were herded together"

CHAMPANGE FROM GERMANY.

The life of Sir William White, which we reviewed the other day, does not seem to contain a good anecdote which he was fond of telling. It re- lated to the German emperor's first visit to Constantinople in 1889. The sultan consulted with the wise men as to how he could best please his imper- ial guest. At that time, when new brooms were sweeping clean, the young kaiser would not tolerate the idea of anything French, either in words or wines, within the fatherland: so one of the sultan's wise men sug- gested: Give him German cham pagnew Gesagt, gotham! One even ing. after attending grand dinner ill honor of the kaiser at Yildiz Kiosk, Count Herbert Bismarck came on to a reception at the British embassy. and Sir William White said to him: .'Well. Count Herbert, and what sort of a dinner did the Sultan give you?' 70, as for the dinner itself,'' said the count, 'Sit was superb, but the cham pagne was something too awful. wonder where his majesty could have got it?'-London Chronicle.
