the coming king has neither inclined
to nor been invited to anything of his
own voIition. At the sudden death Of
his elder brother. clarence, he was
welded to the Princess May of Teck.
a beautiful and lonable woman, but
the marriage was one of court eti-
quette, as she had previously been en-
gagged to his brother. The function Of
love is not easily a creatabIe one in a.
man under the circumstances. and his
subsequent infatuation for the beauti-
full Duchess Of Plesse was an easily
forgiveable incident In a matrimonial
career under the circumstances.
Il think that the sudden and terrible
incident of King Edwards sickness and
equally sudden elevation of the Prince
of Wales to the regency will possibly
solve this question and bring the two
royal consorts into closer affinity.
The mere idea that the regent is in
significant in mind or ambition is
dwarfed by the fact that he has in no
way proved himself SO. He is Of a lit
erary turn of mind, and in his early
manhood cultivated the verse habit,
being close literary student, with the
result that I understand some of his
poems may actually survive in litera-
ture.

COLOMBIANS ON THE
PANAMA CANAL QUESTION
Citizens Committee Reports that the
Way Should Be Smoothed for the
United States.

PANAMA, July 14.-President Mar
roquin last month decided to ascertain
the opinion of the isthmian residents
regarding the canal question, they be-
ing most vitality interested in having the
business satisfactorily settled without
further obstacles
He instructed Gov. Salzar, of this de-
partment, to appoint five prominent
cltlZenS here to study the matter care
1uIIy. The committee rendered a re-
port which was almost unanimous eX-
cept on some trifting points.
The salient points emphaticaIly de-
clare that it is urgent to authorize,
without unnecessary delays, the new
Panama canal company, to transfer to
the United States government the con-
cession 1T holds to build the inter-
oceanic canal through Colombian terri
tory. They suggest prompt govern
ment action, with prudent tact, but
ADVISE accelerating the pending nego-
tlauons in order to bring to fruition
the United States preference for the
prompt construction of the canal over
the Panama route. Colombia would act
IN suicidal manner if, by unpardon-
able neglect or want of diplomatic abil-
ity on the part of her representatives,
she should impose on the United
States government the alternative oe
choosing the rival, or Nicaraguan
route.
The members of the committee be-
lieve Colombia should gratuitously
permit the canal company to transfer
to the United States it's concession
bearing in mind not only the tremen-
dous losses the original French share
holders already have sustained and
the millions of francs paid by the COM
pany to the Bogota government at
different times, but also the indisput-
able fact that the United States engi-
neers have been Influenced in their Sc
lection Of the Panama route over all
others principally on account of the
amount of practical work already done
on both sides of the isthmus, especially
the Culebra cut.
A very liberal and reasonable con-
cession should be granted to the Unit
ed States, provided the sovereignty
and dignity of the republic of Colom-
bia is maintained and effectually guar
anteed.

JOINT ARMY AND
NAVAL MANEUVERS
Hard Nuts for the Judges to Crack
The Evolution to Take Place in
August.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14-Plans
are materialiZing for naval movements
which will precede the joint army and
naval maneuvers this autumn. The ar
rangements have been placed entirely
in the hands of Rear Admiral Higgin-
son, commanding the North Atlantic
station.
An interesting, part of the work in
both sets of maneuvers will be that as
signed to the ''umpires'' officers will
be assigned to each of the ships in
the naval maneuvers, and to both
ships and Notifications in the joint ex-
ercises, to act as judges, and it is un-
derstood that the final decision in the
greater maneuvers as to whether the
army or the navy has been victorious
will be rendered by board of high
ranking officers from both branches of
the service, probably headed by Adj
miral Dewey.
The task of the individual judges will
not be an easy one, for the entire
scheme Of the exercises is to be based
on probability. For instance, a battle
ship steamS up past one of the Staten
Island forts in the dead of night. A
searchlight flashes out from the fort
and finds her, and the gunners ashore
train their big weapons to blow her out
of the water. Did the searchlight find
Hef III lille W nave pIeNeHleO OeduS
work if it had been real war? Were
the guns in the fort trained on her
with the requisite precision, or can she
be considered as having run tfer s2unt-
let and as flying up the Bag . shell
the metropolis? This is but sample
of what may be expected in the war
Of situations opened to vigorous dis
pute from both sides.
AS soon as Gen. Macarthur takes
hold at New York it is expected that
he will cooperate with Rear Admiral
Higginson in drawing up a complete
and definite plan for the game Of war
between the army and navy, which
begins the latter part of August.

SAGE Makes a Joke,

=, Russell Sage, so often represented in
the newspapers as a man who wears
cheap suit, eats apples for lunch and
with no time for anything but the making
and amassing Of money, has another side
to his character. He has been known,
more than once, to give to charity; he
can appreciate a good joke, and has even
been known to make one.
A friend called to see him few days
ago, and in the few minutes he remained
incidentally asked the financier his opin-
ion of Cecil Rhodes will.
Mr. Sage replied that he did not con-
slider Rhodes idea of the unif1cation Of
the English-speaking people practical
one, and that if any aAiance came about
between the United States and Great
Britain it would not be for sentimental
reasons, but rather through comm erciaI
and financial interests.
Then, Mr.. Sage" said his questioner,
''you think if any closer political relations
are established between John Bulls mon

suit of great industrial schemes engi-
neered by such men as J. Pierponot Nor

would not say that he should be put
in charge of the Channel Squadron,
he would be able, in the absence of the

generally on a battleship and aquit
himself creditably.
He has perhaps really tried harder
to be the real thing than a great many
of his predecessors.
Forms His Own Opinions.
"He has also acquired the useful
habit of forming his own private opin-
ions, the intuition for which undoubt-
eddy comes to him through his mother,
whose good sense and judgment has
always been the power of quietly ruI-
ing the throne.
1T seems to me well that a man
should be built on these lines, for, al
though only to be constitutionaIly
elected monarch with less power than
has the president of the United States)
he naturally has a right to exercise
the divine prerogative and should be
-opinionated enough to do it so
correctly.

something which means a good deal in
the real acceptance of the word.
The perfunctory replies which he
made on his tour around the world,
since his fathers accession, do not in
deed, prove much about his possibili-
ties even as an orator or his feelings
as man. 1t is possible that they may
have been dictated.
His speech on the return, however,
was Of an entirely different character,
a orous appeal to his countrymen
that it behooved them to bestir them
selves If they meant to uphold the in
dustrial and commercial supremacy Of
Great Britain.
TT seems to me that a man with his
strong character and decided opinions
will make himself felt and convenient
ly adjust himself to the exalted posi-
ton of his father. 1t Is more than
possible, in my opinion, that he will
develop whatever socIaI graces are
considered necessary in the monarch
and prove himself equal to the occa-

gression in the empire that his position
as chief executive demands.
These opinions may have been hast
l1y formed as a result of mere crude
observance.
He appears to be the antithesis of his
rather IN many respects. He is not
by nature of a convivial turn of char
acter, and is rather one who has avoid
ed popularity than courted it.
He has been accused of being insig-
n1f1cant in mind and ambition. Insig-
nificance is a matter of pure individu-
al judgment.
He was not trained with the idea
that he was to be one of the royal
purple wearers, and was never looked
upon, even by his father, as a pros
pective successor to the throne-but
has been brought up as an ordinary
English gentleman.

The case against Mayor Ames was con-
tinued over yesterday for a week 1t will
be taken up next Monday. The charge
upon which he will be tried first will be
that of receiving bride from the keeper
Of house of ill-fame of SIS, in return for
when the said keeper was to be immune
from arrest.
His attorney, A. B. Jackson, asked that
the case be continued over until the fall
term or taken up Immediately. This mo-
lion was denied by the court. The rea-
son for it being continued one week was
on account of the county attorney not be-
ing familiar with the proceedings of the
grand jury, and he wished to prepare the
case. His assistant, Al ]. Smith, who
has charge of the municipal matters, has
been forced to leave the city on account
OF his health and viii not return for some
time; in his absence Mr.. Boardman win
conduct the prosecution alone.
Mayor Not Well.
Mayor Ames is far from being well
man. His attorney said yesterday that
the state of his health was such that he
should be under a physicians care at
the present time, but if the case was
taken up at once he thought that he
might be able to stand the strain, but if it
was only continued for a week he did not
know whether he would be in shape or
not.
