THE CANAL AS AN INVESTMENT
Panama Undertaking Likely to Be a
 Brilliant Success Financially.

American Monthly Review of Reviews. This superior borrowing power is what makes it feasible for our Government to go ahead and dig an interoceanic canal to give up for lack of ability to get the necessary capital, and the American Mic aragua Company had to abandon opera tions for a like reason. The Panama Ca nothing more than an annual interest charge of possibly N.- 100000. The more. quickly the work Is pushed to completion the sooner this charge on the Treasury will be met in whole or in part by the earnings of the canal as productive investment.
 The suez Canal, after paying all charges of operation, maintenance and improve ment. regularly earns net profit of about S10, 100000, or 10 per cent. on the amount invested in the enterprise, which Is ap- proximately $10o, ,0O0. 900. With the im- mense Improvements that have been made in the mechanical methods for canal dig ging, and resultant economies. it Is quite possible the canal may be built for the $144, 900, 900 that was set down in the care full estimate made by Admiral Walker and the engineers of the Isrhmian Canal Commission.
 It is not unreasonable to believe that the traffic through the canal would soon become very arge, and that the canal tolls would ario Int tD snough not only to pay the interest upon the bond issue, but
 
 the ultimate redemption of the entire cost of the enterprise. Thus, as finaa- cial undertaking. we may confidently pre- dict that the Pa aafna Canal will be 3 brilliant success for the Government oi the United States.
 All further steps in the business must
 however. await the action of the Colom- bian Congress. Our readers should un- derstand that theie was no such body as Congress in existe nee in Colombia But 1t was arranged to go through the form of holding a congressional election and some ostensible parliamentary action
 will be taken at Bogota in the course of the present month. It Is reported that there will be some bitter opposition tc the ratification of tho treaty, although it must not be supposed that such an at
 titude Is assumed in good faith upon tht public merits of the project.
 The treaty is favorable to Colombo l beyond all reasonable anticipations. anC | 1t will, of course be ratified. Our Gov ernment is likely to be notified of sucl action within the next few weeks. Th, Treasury will then pay to the French company its s.O,0Oo,oOo and to Colombia | its $10o0 GOO

sLAxDEN TALKS OF 1904.
He Thinks German Should 3
 Nominated by the Democrats.

Washington. April l7.--tspeciai.) )-Hon. James L. Slayden. who is serving his fourth term as a representative of the San Antonio district, is a popular, indus trious and sagacious member of Con- gross, who always talks entertainingly and thoughtfully when interested. He is in Washington just now on his way to New York. MT. Slayden is cotton r1er- chant and planter. and is well informed in the politics as we'll as the business Of his great State.
 Down in my country" he said today. speaking responsively to interrogations as to presidential preferences in Texas, i've have very high opinion of Mi. German as a man of excellent ability and as party man; we would be more than pleased to support him for the Presidency. Personally, think if Mir. German were President. he would do more than any other man in the country to weld the various clements of the Democratic party. As I understand him, he favors reformation and modification of the tariff law, but is not so revolu- tionary In his views that his candidacy or his administration, should he be elect. ed. would excite alarm among business interests of the country. Again he ap- peals to most Democrats as a partisan, and believe he would do as much ae
 
 licans forget they mad ever participated in the affairs of the government Do not understand me to say" con- tinued Mir Slayden, that we are by any means limited to Mir. German in the selection of a candidate. The party has at it's command many men whose choice would be admirable In New York, which we expect to carry. we have, for instance, Edward M. Shepard whose character and afr tA crats and who if I have been correctly | informed, would unite discordant ele- l ments of that State and give us rous- ing old-time Democratic majority there Judge Parker also is man of most excellent character, a regular Democrat, whose candidacy appeals to . great | many people in the Southwest. But the | theory of harmonious support of Judge | Parker is to a large extent founded upon | the fact that he has not been an active political force.
 But for the position of ex-Senator Da- | vid B. Hill on the income tax question, and his apathy in 1896, he would make a | strong candidate; but there are some of l us who believe that the intermittent nes I ture of his declaration, I am a Dem,- crat,' Is barrier to successful caiA didacy before the next convention. Going farther East, we encounter a man whose record as a partisan and whose sterling worth strongly attract us. believe that MT. Oiney would command the support of at least i've Eastern States and if we should make him our leader, we would have great possibility of suc- | cess in Is04.''
 MT. Slayden concluded by saying that William J. Bryan should not be disrs- l garded as factor in the choice of can- ! didate It should be remembered, said the Texan, that MT. Bryan had an im- mense personal following, and that hs had boiled more votes than any man who had ever been Democratic candidate for 1 President.

TRIAL OF DAN auNTER.
Preliminary at Troy of Man Accused
 of Wife Murder.

 Troy. April l7.-,special. 1.-The prelinn~ poisoning his wife. was eoHsmenced this morning before Justices l.. Reeves and R. U. Mcclure of this city. '7
 The gravity Of the charge against sons concerned are white Ueople. attaches considerable importance to the case and many listen to the evidence with eager interest.
 Two of the women who were neighbors to Mrs. Gunter and wh3 helped to dress her for burial. teatlfAd to having seen black stripes on her eck and the back of her legs. from her shoulders down to her Feet. but saw none on the front of her person. Whether tIAese were caused by the congested condition of her blood resulting frcm the poison or by violence Inflicted on her by Gunter, seem to be matters for cosiscture.
 The State Chemist has notified the Pro- bate Judge and Dr. Sanders. who car- ried the stomach of Mrs. Gunter to Au- burn for analysis. that arsenic in quite appreciable quantities" had been found in the stomach. The official report has not having completed his quantative analysis of the contents of the stomach
 The theory of the defense is that Mrs GanteF ::a;tr ,, committed snieide by taking that 1t will be dif1cuit to obtain any con elusive proof 10 the contrary, as no one was on the premises or near her when she became ill from the poison, except Gunter, his two brothers and his sister
 That the ''rough-on-rats'' was obtained by the defendants bother from a neigh bor about two months before the death of Mrs. Gunter avowedly for the purpose of poisoning some dogs that were sucking eggs. has been conclusivcly proven. but what disposition was made of the poison has so far never been shown or ex- plained.
 The defendant sat in the court room by his attorneys during the day. and the proceedings except an occasional whispered conversation with his attorneys and 10 listen 10 the questions of the att torneys and the answers of the witnesses. There are several more witnesses to be examined, and the trial win occupy most, if not all, of tomorrow.
