The history of the New World

The history of the New World
contains no more romantic or
picturesque pages than those
which tell of the ill-fatted reign
of Emperor Macmillan of Mex
leo. Historians and novelists
have written at length of these
days, but it is remarkable that
only one really great play has
been produced. "A Royal Slave"
which will be seen at the Gehling
on November 10Th gives a vivid
picture of stirring times which
the world will never know again.

Washington, Oct 26.-The isthmian
canal commission has made public a
ietter written by Mr.. Isham Randolph,
a member of the board of consulting en-
gineers of the Panama canal, to Zina
K. Carter, president of the sanitary dis
trict of Chicago, which embodies the
views OF MIR. Randolph concerning ca
nal matters. He has recently returned
rom visit to Panama with other
members of the board, and his opinions
are interesting, and in view of the pub
..cation OF he lie, ter by the commission,
may be considered semi-official. In his
letter Mr.. Randolph says:
What we do know is that it can be
done; that Americans can do it, and
that in as short time as so stupendous
an undertaking can be put through.
Hence we may reasonably look for the
passage of the greet ocean freighters
