A June Day on the c. and o. Canal.

By Martha L. Schneider. Washington. D. c.
A trip upon the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal from Washington to the
Great Falls of the Potomac, a distance
of eighteen miles from Washington,
is not only full of historical interest
from the beginning to the end, but it
is one in which all the elements of the
novel, the picturesque, and the beauti-
full are to be found.
A little steam packet containing
room for about thirty passengers,
makes this journey in about four
hours, starting from 32nd street,
Georgetown, at half past eight in the
morning and arriving at the Falls a
little after twelve.
Seated in a comfortable chair at the
extreme end of the bow OF this little
boat, with a congenial companion on
a perfect day in June-tor as Lowell
says, "Then if ever come perfect
days, and waiting for the boat to
start ruminate over the change time
has wrought in the scene around me.
L see not far away, on the east side of
the alley known as Duck Lane, the
ruins of an old tavern of the ancient
time. This belongs to the day of the
stage coach, to the day when the
telegraph and the railroad were I'M
known. This old stone inn, with it's
covered driveway into the stable yard
in the rear, has doubtless furnished
refreshments to many a notable in the
very early days of the nation.
Washington no doubt stopped here
when he visited the city in March,
1871. On our way to the boat we had
passed the old stone house on 3Oth
and NJ streets where he is said to have
made his headquarters at this time,
when he came to confer with Mayor
L'enfant concerning the plans of the
Capital city, and where on the 3Oth
of March, 1871, he issued a proclama-
ton setting forth the lines of boundary
of the proposed District of Columbia.
This old house is still in good state
of preservation and stands on the
opposite side of the street and little
further east of the old home of Francis
Scott Key.
Georgetown was laid out in May,
1851, and incorporated in 1889. Today
dilapidated warehouses and aban-
doned factories stand as a sad re-
minder of commercial Georgetown
which was at one time classed with

been the settlement of few trouble

sion Of very decided views on any
subject, but ne said the other day to
friend:
1T would be good thing IL the peo-
pie of the United States had a closer
knowledge of their neighbors to the
north. Let them go up into the broad
wheat lands Of that mighty country
stretching west from Winnipeg to the
Rockies and they will find a pretty
good lot of Americans there" This
opinion Is agreed to by a group of
Washington correspondents who re-
Gently made tour of Canada from
Montreal to Victoria, spending a week

The people met by the Washington
ians and what they ore accomplishing
were revelations.
Some Of these newspaper men had
never gotten lid of their school geog-
raphy, ideas that few miles above the
international boundary began the reign
OF eternal snow and ice. They knew,
of course. that the Canadian Pacific
railway ran clear across Canada, but,
without practical view OF what this
railroad had accomplished they could
not realize tho possibilities and great
ness of the country. When they found
good farmers from the United States
raising as high as 40 bushels OF wheat
to the acre rs far north as Edmonton
they reformed their ideas Of geography
and their estimate OF Canada.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST
Progress Of Peace Negotiations Be-

and Domestic Items Of Interest
Told in Brief.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

All hope OF peace Is abandoned b!
the Russian and Japanese missions
Both are unyielding on vital demands
Europe and America may unite In urg
ing the car and the mikado to make
concessions.
A break In the peace negotiations
was narrowly averted when the SAX
halin issue was brought up. The dis
cussion was postponed. Diplomats
believe the ENJOYS will be able to ef-
feet a compromise. as both powers
seem anxious to conciliate.
Russia's attitude in the peace confer
ence is attributed to pressure brought on
the car by the kaiser, who seeks to
block japan and England in their plan
for controlling the far east by prevent
ing peace.
Japan has redeemed every pledge by
restoring Manchuria and the railroad to
China, declares the Picking correspond
ent Of the London Times.
A London Times correspondent says
.here now is no possibility of the pres
ent conference concluding peace. There
is no common grnand on indemnity,

could earn competence before he

cool shores of lake Champlain, where
Congressman joe Sibley awaited
him in beautiful summer cottage and
soon made him forget the annoyances

Congressman Sibley is the rich oil

who his been republican, a prohibi-
zionist, populist, democrat. and
then b republican again, but who Is
the most universally liked man in the
house of representatives. And why
should he not lie popular? His three
big touring car automobiles are at the
command of his friends. He gives on
an average two sumptuous banquets
each month during sessions of con-
gress in the marble mansion on X
street built and occupied by the late
John Sherman. These dinners cost
aboN s25 plate, and Sibley Is rot
niggardly with his invitations. He has
a swift yacht CL Lake Champlain and
a summer nome where his congression-
al cronies are entertained In royal
style.
Sibley's popularity is not confined to
his own side Of the house. but all the
democratic leaders are his guests at
some time during the session. and the
influence he caa exert in social way
counts for q good deal in legislation.
Sibley can SPEAK on the floor, but his
big-hearted hospitality is his greatest
card.
