The Mercury Will Rise.

The ideal weather that has been met
ed out TO humanity the past week will
take wings unto itself and fly away. The
mercury has been rising at intervals all
day. The official forecast is: "Fair and
warmer Saturday, fair; light west winds. :
Ideal summer weather was the order
yesterday, and everybody took advan-
tage of it to be out OF doors. The condi-

the seashore. and many who had planned
trips decided to postpone outings until
the mercury assembled the tube above 90
degrees, which was the order earlier in
the month. A continuance OF the same
favorable atmospheric conditions pre-.
vailed today.

NICARAGUA'S CLAIMS
AGAIN TO Be URGED
Senator Morgan Preparing
for Another Fight.
PANAMA'S FRIENDS HOPELESS
Former Senator Harris Thinks Three
Years Have Been Lost in
Negotiations.

The struggle for the construction of

tiers were received in the city today
from Senator Morgan, in which he says
he has discussed the matter with the
representatives who have been friendly
to the Nicaragua route, and all have
concluded that there is a good chance
to obtain favorable legislation at this
session.
Reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, the former friends of the Panama
route have given up hope of obtaining
the necessary concessions from Colon
bia, the belief being that the proceedings
now going on in the Central American
Republic are simply scheme planned TO
tire out the United States.
Railroads Not Alone.
1t is known that certain railroads
of the United States had representatives
in Colombia with money enough to kill
the treaty-and the treaty died There
is suspicion, however. that the rail-
roads were not alone in the deal. some
of the friends of the measure asserting
that a European nation had something
to do with it,
Just what form the campaign for the
Nicaragua route is to take az the coming
session of Congress, no one can say al
present. Former Senator Harris, Of
Kansas. who is one of the best civil eu-
gineers in the country. arrived in Wash

to say that such is the case. it is as
serted that he is here to see the Presi-

former Senator Harris said:
There does not seem. now. to be much

completed in less time
''Ths report of the commission is clear
upon that point. We have lost thre,
