are old and were proposed as canal
routes and surveyed by Lucien Wise in
1879. The northern route is from
Acanti, in the Gulf of Darien, over the

sued at least twenty-four hours before
the revolution began and the deduction
that the Democrats are drawing from
the circumstance is that the adminis-
tration in Washington not only gaEa
encouragement to, but actually assist
ed, the revolutionistS.
If the president persists in his re-
fusal to make a full and unequivocaI
explanation of these points the Demo-
cratic senators will vote against the
treaty to a man.
Senator German is ready to stake his
political future upon the outcome Of
the fight. He says he has no fear about
what 1t will be. His audaeity and con-
fidence are operating to dispel the
doubts of his party associates. If he
continues to ignore the provisions OF
the Spooner act hereafter, when it be-
comes plain that the Panama treaty
cannot be ratified, and, therefore, that
the Panama route cannot be legally Sc
lected, Senator German will take steps
to bring about the presidents impeach-
ment.
He has already selected the member
of the house of representatives who
will submit impeachments papers to
that body. The papers, it is stated on
high authority tonight, have been
drawn and are ready for presentation
to the house on an hours notice.

HAS SLAIN FOUR MEN
Says He Would Rather Hang
Than Stay in Prison.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-When Frank
Henry Burness, a ships cook, was
placed on trial in Brooklyn today for
the murder of Capt. George B. Town
send. the skipper of the lumber schoon-
er Charles Buckley, on Nov. 10, the
prisoner admitted his guilt, and a writ
ten confession was submitted in which
he declared that he had shot the cap
tain deliberately and with premedita-
ton, because the latter owed him
money and that he desired to facilitate
the trial because he preferred to be
executed rather than remain in prison.
The confession stated that the pris-
oner had previously killed three men.
For shooting a man in Chariestown,
Mass. he said that he had served three
years in prison; ne had served a term
IN Havana for killing teamster and
had killed a man named Henry Hecker.
ON which charge he was acquitted on
technicality. The trial was continued.

ROCK ISLAND GETS
into NEW ORLEANS
Trackage and Traffic Agree
ments Is Made With the
Southern Railway.


The Rock Isiand-F Frisco system has
at last got New Orleans outlef. Aft
er negotiations lasting some weeks and
during which several plans have; come
to naught, an alliance has been cem-
pleted with the Southern railway by
which the Frisco system gains en-
trance to the Louisiana city.
The plan which has been worked out
with the Southern will save the Frisco
from building line OF its own from
Memphis to Baton Rouge and removes
the possibility of antagonizing the
Gould interests.
The original plan of the Frisco man
agement called for the construction Of
an independent line. A right of way
was obtained and preliminary steps
taken for financing the new construc-
ton. Jointly with the Southern rail-
way extensive terminal facilities in
New Orleans were planned to cost be-
tween $12,00o, ,000 and $14,000,000. Be-
tween S2.000,0O0 and $4,000, 900 has al
ready been expended on this work
The iron Mountain already had well
under way the construction of its New
Orleans line and negotiations for its
use blythe Frisco, thereby saving the
latter 300 miles of construction, were
also well under way when a dispute
arose over local traffic, and the deal
fell through.
President Yoakun, of the Frisco,
then suggested TO President Spencer.
OF the Southern railway, the feasibility
OF the F'risco's reaching New Orleans
over the Southern's Mobile and Ohio
and New Orleans and Northeastern
route. 1t was decidedly to the interest
OF the Southern to have the Frisco in
New Orleans on account of their Joint
terminals there. Without any delay
the matter was carried forward. and
the directors Of the ST Louis & San
Francisco have now ratified the new
project.
An Indirect Route.
The Frisco's new route viii be some
what indirect for traffic from St. Paul.
ST. Louis and Chicago, but will enable
the system to handle it's own tonnage
from the Birmingham district. 1t is
pointed out that the Rock Island-Frisco
traffic from the West and Southwest
viii reach the Gulf by way of Calves
ton II the joint ownership of the Har-
r1man North and South Texas lines is
finally sanctioned.
connections between the Frisco ard
the Ohio are made at Tupelo and Jas
per, Miss, and Birmingham. Ala. The
Mobile & Ohio connects with the New
Orleans & Northwestern at Meridian.
The route by way Of Tupelo from
memphis would be about forty miles
longer than the route originally
planned down the Mississippi river.

fore in my experience as a pastor"
Although located in Brookline but
a few months, DR.. Cinclair has made
a deep Impression as q preacher and
his latest vigorous sermon will un-
doubtedly have an effect on the pocket
books of exclusive Brookline.
