of the eighteen months war, so unfortu-
nate to Russia, was due to NJ. Whites ener-
gy and firmness.

Other Suggestions.
''In addition to the plan above mentioned
apamphiet has been prepared by Mr.. Lindon
w. Bates. which gives in outline a sketch
OF a plan proposed by him. which Is inter
esting on account Of its novelty, and Is
therefore laid before you. 1t does not give
detail enough for close analysis, nor for
estimates of cost. To obtain this. extern
sive additional surveys, to occupy at least
years time, would be necessary.
"A paper has been submitted to the
President by Mr.. z. Bunau-Vartlla which
explains method by which a canal con-
structed at first with locks may be subse-
quently altered to a sea-level canal. This
paper also is submitted for your considera-
ton
Mr.. Shonts calls attention to that por-
ton of the act of Congress which pre-
scribes the physical features of the pro-
posed canal and directs that the work al
ready done shall be utilized as far as pos
sible. He closes his letter as follows:
The commission expects to visit the
1sthmus of Panama, sailing from New York
during the last week in September, the ex-
act date to be fixed hereafter. You are cor
daily invited to accompany them.
This method of presenting the subject
to you by offering several well-dgested
plans has been adopted because ii seemed
to be the method by which all essential in
formation could be conveyed in the most
condensed possible form. 1t is needless to
say that the commission desired your opin-
ion not only upon these plans. but upon any
variation of them. or upon any entirely dif-
ferent plan which may suggest itself to
you. 1t requests your views to what
plan 1t is most expedient, all things consid-
cred, for the United States to follow in the
completion OF the Panama canal"

bers of the board and the isthmian commits

May Delay Treaty.

The interruption of communication with
Japan may delay slightly the signing of the
treaty. The Associated Press can state
definitely that no messages have reached
the japanese plenipotentiaries for four
days, and they are now proceeding under
their general instructions
n cable has been received from the Jap
anese consul at Hongkong saying that he
could not tell when communication would
be restored. The typhoOn which interrupted
communication was very severe, but It is
not known whether II affected both the
land and submarine lines. Baron Komura
has not yet decided whether, upon the en-
GrosSment of the treaty. he will assume the
responsibility of signing il without direct
authorization. If he does not, however.
the delay would be only a matter of two
or three days. as special steamer could
go from Shanghai to Nagasaki In fifty
hours.
The Japanese say the emperors failure to
send a message of thanks to President
Roosevelt is undoubtedly due to the inter-
ruption of communication

Prisoners Have Good Appetites.

According to a recent statement of
the state board of control the cost OF
feeding the inmates of the st. Cloud
reforlnatory and the state penitentiary
is greater than at any of the other
state institutions. This fact alone
state officials say, is not alarming, since
the prisoners at Saltwater and the boys
at st Cloud probably do more physical
labor than the inmates of the insane
asylums or the pupils at the schools for
the deaf and blind. 1t is the increased
cost of feeding the inmates of the ref
ormatory and the prison that is not ex-
planned.
The average cost of food consumed at
st. Cloud increased from $66.28 in 1903
to $7440 in 1904, and at Saltwater
from $4l.94 to $46l9 The cost decreased
in all the other institutions except
the school for the blind at Faribault,
where it increased from $39.S7 to
S4043. The cost of the school for the
deaf at Faribault decreased from 1888
to $3413; at the hospital for the in
sane at Fergus Falls from $4079 to
$39.l9, and at the state public school
at Owatonna from 1888 to $39.08.

one the government cannot afford to ig-
more much longer The necessity for it
is so apparent that it is without the
domain of controversy. Statesmen and
philosophers know that good roads de-
develop good people Improvement of
highways means not only advancement
of commercial interests, but also moral
welfare. The highways are the paths
along which civilization and develop
ment move. The proposition embodied
in the Brownlow- Latimer bills to have
the nation aid the states has already
been favorably reported by tne agri-
cultural committee of the United States
senate. Any citizen can get copy of
the senate hearings on the subject
(senate document No 204) by writing
to his senator for it. The question is
before the American people. 1t will
be decided in their favor if they are
energetic in pressing it on their senators
and representatives in congress.

Flag Day in America.

Wednesday of next week will be
known as flag day and the one hundred
and twenty eight anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes as the
flag of the United States. For several
years the day has been observed as IA

and communities, and the custom has
spread with great rapidity, until there
is hardly town that does not give pa
triotic thought to old glory on that
day. Mayors and school officers are

notwithstanding the fact that a police

Russell Sage is reported to be the
stingest of all the men who count their
cash by the hundred millions. Recently
William f. Curtis devoted considerable
space to Sage, relating stories which go
to show how hard the old man will
pinch a dollar 1t is said that Sage has
two suits of clothes. One of these he
wears week days and the other he dons
Sundays. 1t is not stated when these
garments were purchased. His beaver
nat was bought some twenty years ago.
Here is story that rather shows up
the old mans characteristics. Some
time ago he invited gentleman who
had rendered him a valuable service
to come to see him. This man did so
and Sage informed him that he intend
ed to reward him with slip" that
he could work for a profit. The ''tip
consisted of the address of a merchant
on Seventh avenue, where shoes could
be bought for So pair.
Here's another tale that is banded
about: The Western Union Telegraph
company serves a free lunch to its
operators on Broad street. Mr.. Sage
was regularly accommodated there for
many years because he preferred the
free lunch to one that would cost any
thing. He never paid ear fare on the
elevated road, of which ne was d.
rector, because he could not gain his
consent to part with cents. He made
the bootblacks on the elevated stations
shine his boots under the threat that
they should be removed from the sta
ton if they refused to do so. He stole
his newspapers from news stands at Rec
tor and Fiftieth street every day for
more than a generation.
He had pretty country place on
Long Island, but declined to keep mis-
lawn moved as his neighbors did. He
would permit the grass to grow until il
was suitable for hay, and then would

The japanese and Manual Training

DIR. William H. Maxwell superintend-
ent of the New York city schools, de-
clares that manual training fitted Japan
for war. He says: "The greatest dem
onstration that the world has ever seen
of the usefulness of manual training
has recently been seen upon the Sea of
Japan. On the one side the mass of
the combatants were men without
schooling, and sunk in ignorance and
superstition. On the other, there has
been most wonderful system of public
schools, developed within a single gen
Grafton. In the japanese schools great
prominence is given to manual train
ing. From the first day that a Japan
csc boy enters school, he is taught the
use of the eye and the hand. And when
the time of stress came the people were
ready for it."
