Sent a War Shin

A yarn of the Santo DOMINICAN navy
was told yesterday in the senate lobby.
A southern man was on the island,
seeking q timber concession. In a club
at the capital of the republic, with the
president and a couple of cabinet off,
GERS, he expressed desire to visit a
distant part of the coast. The voyage,
he observed. was difficult for any
available craft.
when do you start?" asked the
president of Santo Domingo
Tomorrow" answered the south
erner.
1--WE will send the warship to take
you.'
But how shall l return%
I'VE will send the warship to call
for you"
This craft, the most superb of any
that flies the Santo DOMINICAN flag and,
in fact, above all there is to the Santo
DOMINICAN navy, proved Of interesting
history. 1t was originally the English
yacht Deerhound, that was prominent
on the scene the day the Kearsarge
sunk the Alabama off Cherbourg. Its
rescue of officers and crew of the Con-
federate privateer was an international
incident.-Washi Post.

REPUBLICAN CANAL MUDDLE

In the gradual process of advance in cost and of
time requirement the Panama canal proposition has
reached $3.50 100000 for the figure and dozen
for construction work The plan now is in course
of complete change from lock system to cut on the
sea level
The chief argument in favor of this change is that
it will facilitate the passage of vessels through the
canal and afford opportunity for enlargement as occa
sion may require The doubling of cost the exten.
sion of time about so for completion of the
work to count for but little if anything
- There has been continual trouble concerning the
isthmian canal proposition since the Republican
leaders in the senate determined for reasons nscrua
Bile to outsiders that the Nicaragua route should be
abandoned for the Panama route In May, 1900 the
house passed bill providing for the construction of
canal the Nicaragua route. Public sentiment in
favor of that proposition compared with the Panama
scheme reflected in the vote-225 affirmative to 35
negative But the held up the bill until the end
Of the session, and ultimately it was shelved entirely by
acceptance of the Panama route.
The opinion was expressed by experts that the
Nicaragua canal could be constructed in five or six
years by pushing the work on 1.-THE American plan
Therefore, had it not been for the mysterious opposi
ton of the Republican leaders in the senate an sthmian
canal by the Nicaragua route would today be nearly
accomplished fact.
BY reason of the policy pursued by the Republican
leaders the present situation is this: The Panama
canal may be completed in seventeen years from Nav
1900, when the house Nicaragua bill was passed In.
stead Of five six years from that date as promised
for the Nicaragua project The cost will be doubled
aud there various ycissudes likely to cause un
expected delay. AS consequence the canal will not be
available for until fully ten years later than would
have been necessary for completion by the Nicara
qua route AS collateral results the United States will
have paid the French company $40,000,O00 for some
work ditch and great Of rusty machinery
valuable only as junk.
