 NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-In requesting Judge Parker to make q speech at the meeting of the Business Mems Parker and Davis association President J. Hampden Robb wrote as follows:
 "We appreciate and sympathize with the previously expressed view that it was your intention not to make any extended addresses other than those delivered at your home, inasmuch as heretofore your efforts have been con tinuously devoted to matters affecting the Democratic canvass.
 "In view of the fact that this work has in large part been completed and that today united party is harmoni- ously striving for your election we hope that you will consent to appear upon the platform at this meeting, if only to greet your supporters, for 1t need be little more than greeting face to face."
 Judge Parker sent the following re- ply:
 Tt will give me great pleasure to ac- cept your invitation to appear at the mass meeting to be held at Madison Square Garden on the 81st inst under the auspices of the Business Mems Parker and Davis association and to greet there so many supporters of the cause represent and through them to greet the great army of loyal, enthusi- astic Democrats throughout the coun- try"
 At Newark on Tuesday night the nominee will be the principal speaker at mass meeting held by the Parker and Davis Constitution club.

EITHER ROUTE
IS DIFFICULT
CAPTAIN CUSHMAN RICE TALKS
ABOUT IsTHMLAN CANALS.
He Says the Nicaragua Project Is
Thoroly Impracticable and That
Even the Panama Route Presents
Serious Tho Not Fatal Obstacles.

Captain Cushman A. Rice Of Will
mar, who has spent the past two or
three years in Porto Rico, Cuba, and
Central America, is now in MinneapO-
lis, having resigned his commission In
the regular army. Captain Rice was
ragua, and he expresses the opinion
that the Nicaragua canal route Is not
feasible, while difficult engineering
problems complicate the Panama
project.
Setting aside the difficulty Of con-
struction in the Nicaragua route, ;"
said Captain Rice, "the expense Of
operating the canal would make 1t
impracticable. The expense per ton
of Sending vessel thru the Nicaragua
ditch would be so great that it would
practically discourage shipping. But
the route has other disadvantages. 1t
necessitates the construction Of a har-
Dor at Greytown, and this would In
clude a breakwater four or five miles
long, to prevent the mouth OF the har-
Dor filling up with sand.
1.-The Panama route could be oper-
ated easily and economically, once the
canal was dug. The climate, however,
| is deadly to anyone except the natives,
and there are several hard engineer
| ing problems to be overcome. A lock
| canal has been suggested, and the
feasibility Of this plan depends upon
| the ability Of the Chagres river to
keep the locks filed. In the wet sea-
son the Chagres is a torrent; in the
/ dry season it is no more than creek.
and the porous character Of the soil
would make it almost impossible to
build a reservoir to supply the locks
The soil there is sort Of crumbled
rock, which will not hold water five
minutes, and no one has ever been
able to dig down to bed rock.
THE French, under De Lesseps, de-
signed a sea level canal, but the great
] difficulty they experienced was II
making a cut thru the mountains or
the west coast. A cut several miles
long thru this range is necessary, an6
i the French found it was like trying tc
4 dig a ditch in loose sand. The noun
tains are composed Of sort Of de,
composed granite, and whenever
! steam shovel takes. out one load Q!
4 this loose rock, twenty more slide
/ down from above to fill up the hole

l be overcome, the Panama route i

Neither do they feel the loss Of the
canal so keenly as they might, did
they not believe that the greed Of the
loss.
Most Of my time in Colombia was

of County Board Politics but Don't

Petty politics In the board of county
commissioners are responsible for the
recent discharge of a courthouse jani-
tor, and the matter has caused con-
siderable feeling among the dispensers
of patronage in the big building. It
shows also condition which is elo-
quent as an argument in favor of the
ing charge of the building.
M. w. Nash, the senior member of
the county board and chairman Of the
building committee, claimed and ex-
ercised the right Of appointing more
members Of the courthouse force than
any Of his associates. This led to
jealousy among other members, until
at last they united to assert larger pa
tronage rights.
When the 1904 appointments were
made Mr.. Nash was informed that he
would have to "let OUT one Of his ap-
pointees to make room for one OF
Commissioner Miller's favorites, the

suggestion of E. P. Sweet, custodian OF
