it has shown its ability to maintain
its independence, there we're three po-
tent reasons for making this case an
exception to the rule: First, our
treaty rights; 2nd, our national inter-
ests and safety; 3rd, the interests Of
collective civilization. The canal, ii
built at all, must be built by the
United States. Private enterprise has
been demonstrated utterly inadequate
to the undertaking and this govern
ment long ago let it be understood
that no European government would
be permitted to get possession. Eu-
rope has acquiesced in that idea and
has followed the United States in the
recognition of Panama. II the new
treaty with Panama be ratified, the
whole world will be benefited and
especially the people of the Istbmus,
even as the Cubans we're benefited by
the interference temporarily in their
affairs until they were capable Of gov
erning themselves. To quote his
words again: by our prompt and
decisive action, not only have our in.
terests and those of the world at large
been conserved, but we have fore
stalled complications which were
likely to be fruitful in loss to our
selves, and in bloodshed and suffering
to the people of the Isthmus." In
conclusion he says: Let me repeat
that the question actually before this
government is not that OF the reoogni
tion of Panama as an independent re-
public. That is already en- accom-
plished fact. The question, and the
only question, is whether or not we
shall build an Isthmian canal?''

THE CZAR'S MESSAGE.

A message from the Gar of Russi
to the New York World brings forth
expressions of great relief from all
over the country, from anxiety con-
corning another massacre which, it
was reported, was to take place at
Kishineff on January 7. The reply to
a cablegram from the World to the
Ozar, appealing to him to allsy the ap
prehennsion Sc widely felt, is as fol-
lows:
Fears of forth coming troubles in
Kishineff absolutely unfounded. Re-
ports of anti-Jewish riots are cOnse-
quence OF agitation led by persons
evil disposed against Russian govern
ment. Plehve.
The message was read at Washing
ton with deepest interest and diplo-
mats express surprise, as we'll, at the
remarkable message, coming as it does
from this always silent autocrat
through his minister and because it
concerns the empires internal affairs.

RAILROAD FOR AFRICA.

New Orleans. Jan. 5.-John H..
Kirby, large lumber operator OF
Houston, said yesterday that the
British Government is about to build
20, 900 miles of railroad in Africa and
that the crossties required in the con-
struction are to come from the south
ern States. Mr.. Kirby, who expects
to get large part of the contract,
says the ties will cost $40, 600, 600.
THE British Government has long
held this PLAN" said Mr.. Kirby
1T was delayed for while by the
labor situation, but the officials
brought over 500, 900 laborers from
China and 500 900 coolies from India.
These laborers are to be returned home
at the end of three years, because the
British Government does not desire a
repetition in South Africa of the
troubles we have had with the Chinese
in California. The line will not be
20, 900 miles long, he said. but with
it's connections will cover that diis
lance. 1t is really Cecil Rhodes old
plan. 1t will traverse the entire
Continent from north TO SOUTH
