Roberts Defends the President.

George E. Roberts, director of the mint
addressed a large audience at Knoxville,
Iowa. last night, dealing especially with
the Panama imbroglio., He said in part:
1.-The Presidents attitude toward Colon
bia was very like his attitude toward the
anthracite coal operators two years ago.
He told them that while they owned the
coal properties that ownership involved
certain obligations to the public. He told
the government of Colombia that posses
sion of the isthmus. a natural highway OF
the worlds commerce, involved certain OBJ
legations to the world. Both propositions
are supported by the highest ethics.
Private ownership OF any natural and
essential utility is inevitably subject TO the
common rights of mankind. The world
would never recognize in morals or fact
the right of any people to take possession
Of the isthmus and bar the way No such
sovereignty can exist there because II Is
inconsistent with larger interests and more
natural rights. 1t was in overlooking these
higher rights that the people of Colombia,
in the eagerness of greed, made their fatal
mistake and the critics of the President
make similar one

Fairbanks Canvass in Indiana.

Nearly twenty speeches were made yes
terday by Senator Fairbanks. With one ex-
ception. that of Sturgis. Mich, the Sen
ators addresses were delivered to the citi-
zens of his own state. At all points he was
cnthusia stically welcomed and speeches
were repeatedly punctuated with applause.
The largest crowds of the day were at
Goshen, Elkhart and South Bend. The last
speech of the evening was at Hammond.
and the Senator's special train was laid
over at Michigan City during the night.
During the day Senator Fairbanks dwelt
mainly upon the prevalence of prosperity
throughout the country. claiming that this
was due to republican administration of the
government and that its continuance was
dependent upon republican success In
November. At several points he referred to
portions of Judge Parkers speech in New
York Monday night. with especial reference
to the opening of foreign markets to Amer
lean manufactured products. During most
of the day the Senator was accompanied
by j. Frank Hanly, the republican candi-
date for governor of Indiana. At South
Bend Representative Abraham L. Brick
joined the party.

The Treasure Cave.

The sudden night had Just fallen and
there was an incomplete moon in. the west.
But already the desert was full of feeble
shadows and silver fnterspaces, and all that

monolith. listening. Below, with only her
face in the faint moonlight. was Rachel,

the voiceless expectancy of the two young
people. crouched at his masters feet For
a while there only the ringing turmoil
of his own quickened blood In the young
mans ears. But presently, up from the
southern slope. rose the sound he had
heard some minutes before-a long, Quaver-
ing note, ending in a high eery wall

1T is Deborah come up from the camp
to seek for me-" Rachel exclaimed.
With all the haste possible on the rough
slope, they descended. The ground was
familiar to Kenkenes. for the niche was
near the foot of the declivity.
Half way down he called again. and the
answer came up from the hiding place Of
Athor In another moment they were with

1sraelite. Rachel dropped on her knees
crying out In her solicitude.

His fury be upon them!' Rachel cried
her to the tackals!'
Set consume them!' Kenkenes respond
ed. wrathfully. How came they upon

After grim silence broken only by the
low weeping of Rachel. Kenkenes bade her
continue.
THE search they made for you was not
thorough, for one was i'll and both were
afraid. But they came upon the statue
again, and the sight of 1t Knocked them. so
they overthrow it and broke it,"
Kenkenes drew a sharp breath and
glanced at the place where Athor should
have been. Except for themselves, the
niche was evidently vacant
He turned to tie two women who had
talked together in Hebrew. and spoke
lightly.
I'VE have shelter for this night-safer
than any other place in all Egypt Trou-
Bile no more concerning that. The shelter
for us is In the cliff to the north, near
Toora. 1t is a tomb but others before us

Taking Deborah up. Kenkenes settled
her on one strong arm against his breast
The free hand he extended to Rachel who
had taken the mating, and together they
went laboriously down the steep front Of
the hill.
He had covered his boat well with the
tangle of sedge and marsh vines, and after
q long space of search, he found It,

Deborah scanned him narrowly ana
moved away from him.

Kenkenes Immediately flung himself upon
the pallet because Racheps hands mao
made it. and in moment became acutcly
conscious of all the ache of body and the
pain of soul the day had brought him. The
first deprived him of comfort the second OF
his peace. and there was the smell or dawn
on the breeze before he fell asleep.
After sunset the next day Deborah reused

Rachers hand and then went forth.

rowed on steadily for Memphis. and imme-

Nile Engineering.
pm the New York Times.

From the New YORK Times.
1t is an interesting fact that some OF
the greatest hydraulic engineering of
the world is in connection with the con-
troll of the river Nile, which for more
centuries than written history records
has been identified with the most for
midable- undertakings of human enter
prise a valuable report on the works
for the Improvement of the Upper Nile
has been prepared by Sir William Cars
tin The object of these works was to
rescue the Upper Nile from the marshes
in which it host more than half it's vol
ume; to control and regulate the great
equatorial lakes, making them add to the
flow of the river at will; TO cause the
waters OF the Blue Nile to irrigate the
fertile tracts through which they pass;
to secure to Egypt a constant and suf-
ficient supply of water between the cata-
racts and the Mediterranean, and to free
the country from the ever-present danger
of disastrous flood. These are results the
attainment, of which by works as perma-
nent as can be built will contrast in
structivelys with the pyramids and other
monuments of the crude civilization OF
the past, and which will endure to benefit
mankind when the memorials of ancient
dynastfes have disappeared. England IL
doing great things for Egypt and It's
work promises to make the Nile valley
the seat of new civilization, which. X
less picturesque than the old one VIII
contribute vastly more to human WE'LL
being and happiness.
