Still in the Distant Future.
There seems to be a disposition in ad-
ministration circles TO avoid discussion
OF Panama canal matters. There is
not so much cock-sure talk OF building
the canal within the lifetime of anyone
now living as there was a few months
ago. Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Wall

march OF events, and the concomitant
designations and announcements that
there's no use trying to do any digging
until the simple matter OF being able
TO live is assured. To bring about this
latter and desired condition
proper sanitation will be urged and put

declining years that Senator Quay
showed a disposition TO exploit his IN

always claimed that no man Of pure
Caucasion could have shown such
stolidness al the late senator. Some

Getting Ready for the Season.
Mrs. Charles j. Bonaparte, wife Of
the secretary Of the navy, is up at
LenoN cOrraling her strength for the
strenuous duties Of the Washington
season, with which she is entirely ia
miliar. Mrs. BOnaparte has had very
frail health for some years. which only
allowed her strength enough 10 receive
and entertain friends Of especial selec-
ton. Realizing that she is now an i'm
pOrtant part Of the official society in
the nations capital. she is going TO do
her best to fulfill her duties. She is
goign TO have Miss Heydoek of Balti-
more. who really spends the most of her
time with Mrs. Bonaparte. TO spend the
winter with her in Washington Miss
Heydock is with Mrs Bonaparte in
LenoX now. and they have been receiv-
ing ex-Ambassador to England and
Mrs. Joseph II. Choate, and all the
other distinguished residents Of the
Berkshire hills. In spite of all these
alleged gayeties, Mrs. Bonaparte is
spending a quiet summer. She has
never been a social devotee, cares little
for the mob. and much for the few.
