A Monument to Roosevelt.

When the history of the canal is writ
ten, fifty years hence, say, four figures
will stand out prominently in the story
of its preliminary stage: Senators Han
ma and Spooner, whose influence and
eloquence bore the compromise bill past
all opposition in the senate; Senator
Morgan, who fought for the Ncaraguan
route to the last ditch and who is now
to be removed from the chairmanship
of the senate committee on inter-oceanic
canals because of his hostility to the
Panama route-a hostility that ia the
opinion of many closely verges, at this
writing, upon disloyalty; and President
Roosevelt, whose strong will has forced
settlement with the Panama company
otherwise known as the government of
Colombia. AS the acquisition of the
Philippines and Porto Rico will mark
for all time the administration of Presi
dent Mckinley, so the Panama canal
will be the chief monument of President
Roosevelts administration.-Nat

Fined Fifty Dollars .

The case of Albert Strobel, the youth
who assaulted Z. G. Pullen, trolleymai
on The electric railway, with knife al
t.e intersection Of King and Henry
slrss.. ,e,. st., came up in the Ponce
Court this morning, The evidence in
the case was substantially that which
was given in yesterdays Gazette. DIR.
Smith. who was one Of the physicians
who attended young Pullen, testified as
10 the nature of the wound. The knife
cut the latter on the side of the left leg
near the knee joint, penetrating to the
bone, inhicting an ugly though not
dangerous wound. The trouble which
precipi.ated the cutting originated sew
cal weeks ago when StrObel and Pullen
had some misunderstanding on one OF
the electric trains near Spring Park.
According to the testimony, Pullen had
left the train for the purpose of tagging
it across Henry street, and when he had
returned to the step Of the car Strobel
cut him and then jumped on the plat
form himself and was kicked off by
Pullen, at which luncture StrODel cut az
him again, but missed his intended vic
tim. Strobel in his defense said he cut
Pullen after the latter had kicked him in
the stomach. The Mayor in sum-
ming up the case said the youth of the
offender saved him from being sent on
to court, as it was a penitentiary Ofense.
He would therefore dispose OF the matter
himself and he assessed fine Of fifty
dollars against Strobel. An effort will
be made to have the case reopened.
Strobel had furnished no witnesses this
morning, although he claims he can
produce two who will corroborate his
statement which, as stated above, Is to
The effect that Pullen kicked him in the
stomach before he used the knife. He
also AYERS that he was kicked from the
train while it was in motion.

Union Street Traffic.

Ruth tracks on Union street were lined
with cars this morning The trade on
chat thoroughiare has expandedso greatly
of late that the railway company finds 1t
difficult to furnish the requisite number
of ears to meet the requirements OF ship
pers. An engine attempted to pull a
train OF fty-three ears up Wilkes street
10 the depot during the wee sma' hours
of this morning, and after making as
mucb noise as that which would be pro-
duced bv a combination Of an earth
quake and volcano stopped at Royal
street after having awakened nearly all
persons for squares around. The tram
was subsequently, backed to Union street
and locomotive placed in the rear to
push while that in front pulled. The
engine at the tail-end let 60 when the
train succeeded in getting over the grade
between Royal and Lee streets. This
last procedure produced as much noise
AS the first. 1t is suggested by victims
of these midnight commissions that fewer
cars be put in the trains even II the en-
gines are compelled to make extra trips

Threw Brick at Conductor.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that ola young
ster who was charged with throw
ing a brick at conductor on the
electric railway while the train was
in motion. He had previously APP
piled an ugly epithet to the official
1t seems that the youth and another boy
boarded the train as it entered the city
and when the conductor approached
them and asked for five cents from each
as their fare they refused to pay and
were put off after the train had entered
Cameron street. When elected from
one car they jumped on the other and
kept the train crew busyi in putting them
off, until one of them hurled a brick
at the conductor. The Mayor in sum
ming up the case said he was determined
to break up the practice INDUCED in by
some boys of annoying and assaulting
train hands, and he therefore fined the
offender $40.
