SOCIAL GOSSIP OF THE DAY

in the social life of Washington that
whenever a change is made and a new
member expected one Immediately be-
gins to wonder what he Is like whether
married or single, and a dozen other
things which make a person agreeable
or otherwise a social lion. The new Rus
sian ambassador, Baron de Rosen. has
completed his plans. and If MI goes
well he will arrive In New York In the
great hullabaloo of July 4. thus getting
a lively impression Of America upon his
return TRIP.
The social world here is so transient
that, though the baron was first secre-
tary Of the Russian legation under the
former minister, Count de Strive, there
are now not many here who remember
him He is a man OF distinguished
bearing, with white nair and closely
cropped beard and speaks English flu

that generation would reap the fullest benefit from the canal project. The bond clause of the Spooner act contains an au- thorization for the expenditures of moneys derived from the sale of canal bonds for any and all expenditures on account of the canal, and 1t is believed that the making good of the deficit in the treasury caused by the original appropriation in this man ner Is within the power of the govern ment.
 A review of the entire project, as 1t stands today gives one faith that America will add one more laurel to the national brow by completing this truly stupendous work, and thus multiplying the worlds commerce. Let us hope that it may be accomplished without any of the financial scandals that swamped the previous un- dertaking, and that are so apt to creep in where much money Is being spent; also that the terrible loss of life that accompanied De Lesseps' abortive en- deavor may not find q repetition in the history that will be made in the coming decade

 Dependence.

Colon, Panama, November S0.-(Special) One has only to look over the scene of future operations at Panama, and inspect the gigantic machines left strewn along the swamps by the Frenchmen to appre- clate the enormous interest the work will have from an engineering standpoint New records will be established; new methods introduced: new inventions and machines tested, and new theories proven all of which will be of greater impor- tance to the engineering lore of the world than any enterprise ever yet undertaken by man.
 New machines, costing thousands and thousands of dollars have commenced arriving at Colon already, and several were unloading at the wharves during my visit Although disastrous from al- most every point of view, the De Lesseps enterprise taught engineers a great deal of the use of machinery, and the best types to be employed under such con ditions as those existing here, and the writer notes with satisfaction the willing ness of the American engineers to avail themselves of the knowledge thus gained. Much of the machinery abandoned by the French company Is being repaired, and will be brought into use throughout the construction of the great ditch.
 Utilize French Locomotives.
 The hundreds of small French locomo- lives are to be utilized, and indeed these are the subject of much approving com ment by our machinists, the detail of the workmanship on them being regarded as better than that required by American practice. The steel cars used by the French for hauling dirt prove too light, however, for use with American steam shovels. They will not stand the re- peated dropping of several tons of rock at time, and will be replaced with heavier American cars.

REPAY MOTHERS CARE.
Should Treat Her With Difference and
 Help Her in Many Ways.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 In most families which have attained to middle age without greatly having pass- ed 1t there is likely to be found at least one daughter whose school days are over, who has grown to womanhood, but who, without being required to contribute to the family support, continues to live with her parents until she leaves them In the ordinary course of events to be a wife. The daughter thus situated has an oppor- tunity to promote the comfort and happi- ness of those about her. and especially of her mother, to whom she is nearest, such as in all her lifetime will not prob- ably recur.
 Up to that time she has in the nature of things been receiving everything and been returning very little. Her mother has cared for her during the needs and hazards of infancy and childhood; suffer ing many anxieties of which none was made aware; making many sacrifices which few noted, and least of all the bene- fciary; watching, working, praying for her welfare little later the child is sent to school. and then through all the years which her education may occupy she is the constant object of her mother s thoughts. If she is sick it Is the mother who cares for her and suffers more than she. and always there are clothes to be made and mendcd and a score of little things to be done of no great importance singly, but amounting in the aggregate to a good deal
 In the case of the girl whom these lines have in view her parents have been able, though not, perhaps, without some sclf-depriyation. to give her all the ad- vantages which the public school curri- cuum affords. She has gone through the high and normal schools and armed with her teachers certificate. she Is equipped as well as may be for that battle of lif(

She does not meet each re- quest for service with an excuse or con- stantly give the preference to her own in- clination She finds a real pleasure in be- ing useful and in making some return for the devotion of which all her life she has been the object. And she does this not as a duty, but out of the fullness of loving heart.

 nounced the termination of his partner ship in firm of West End estate agents.
 He is 35 years of age.
 Terry was undefended at his trial, hay- ing steadfastly refusel legal assistance. When the evidence was finished, Terry read d long and carefully prepared state ment, in which he strongly objected to his majesty the King, being placed in the position of protector of an unnaturalized
 race of aliens in British possessions. He strenuousy protested against the sugges- tion that he was the victim of. an insane delusion, or that his intellect was impair ed by sunstroke His action, he declared, was the result of careful deliberation, and was committed as d protest against the Asiatic invasion and the mixing of races, and also to test the stability of the law relating to the protection of aliens. He bore no enmity to Chinamen. On the contrary, he sincerely pitied these poor people, whose presence in New Zealand was partly the result of the vicious slave system existing in China. It was for the equal benefit of both races that this disgraceful traffic should cease and the sooner the New Zealand government abandoned the mad policy which had cursed other parts of the world with the deepest depths of human depravty, and shipped it's aliens to England, or Africa, or some other country where they would be welcomed, the sooner would New Zea-
 land be a fit country for white settlement.
 The chief justice, summing up, said
 there was no Justification and no excuse for Terry's crime.
 After a brief retirement the jury re- turned a verdict of guilty with strong recommendation of mercy on the ground that the prisoner was not responsible for
 his actions, he was suffering mentally from a craze caused by intense hatred to-
 ward the mixing of the British and alien races.
 Terry received the death sentence with amazing calmness.

from the London Chronicle.
 0 NE of the most extraordinary
 crimes of recent years had for o it's sequel recently the condemna- ton to death at Wellington, New Zea- land. of Lionel Terry, an Englishman.
 Throughout Australasia there is among the white population keen feeling against the colored races. In Terrys case this hatred became almost lunacy. He pub lished several books on the subject, but finding that they attracted little atten- tion, apparently determined to sacrifice his own life in a last effort to awaken the colonial and home governments to the perls of Asiatic immigration.
 With this purpose he went to the Chi nese quarter of Wellington late one night at the end of September last, walked UT to an aged Chinaman named Kun Yung, and deliberately murdered him with two shots from a revolver.
 Next morning Terry, bright and cheer full, went to booksellers to inquire about the sale of his book on the yellow peril, The Shadow" Being told that the sales were not large, he remarked: Tt will sell better tomorrow" and walked to the pos lice station, where he gave himself up as Kun Yung's murderer.
 About the same hour Lord Plunket, governor of New Zealand, received a let ter from Terry stating that he had de- cded to bring the matter of alien immi- grafton before the public eye, and to that end had put to death a Chinaman the pre- vious evening.
 Six feet three in height, dark-haired and handsome Terry, previous to going tC New Zealand, led an adventurous life. He Is native of Kent, and was educated al Eton and Oxford. He served against the Matabele, has travelled extensively, and is

The Approximate Expense.

TIC ENpcnSCs The probable expense of completing the canal can be calculated approximat tely. The former isthmian canal commission estimated that the rock and earth re-
 moval would cost so cents yard. Actual
 work in Culebra the past year shows that the cost will be only 50 cents a yard. so that the simple digging of this greatest ditch in the world will involve an ex- penditure of s125 000,000 if carried to sea level, and about s65, 100000 if the canal is constructed with locks
 Harbor dredging has been done in tho
 United States in many places for cents yard or even less, but at such dis tance and under the conditions that will
 govern work at Panama, 1t may well cost 25 cents a yard. The test borings have been sufficiently extensive at this time to show to practical men about what Is to be encountered in both harbor dredg ing and swamp dredging, and therefore these costs are known with close ap-
 proach to accuracy. However, a great part of the expense may come with the unfgurable conditions growing out of yell
 low fever epidemics and general demoral- ization of both laborers, contractors and the engineering corps.
 The total estimates of the cost of the canal have varied from a hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty million, according to the plan, while the con- gressional appropriation is Sl45oOO,0O, an
 amount generally agreed to be insuffi-
 cient Probably Congress thought it well
 not to begin by appropriating too liber- ally, as such works always seem to ex-
 ceed the appropriations, The chances are that before the work is done s1000o0,0o0
 will have to be raised in addition to the appropriation. whether the canal is built

Popular Bond Issue Suggested.

It is possible tina. this vast sum Of money will not be taken bodily from the national treasury. A popular bond issue of $50, 100000 has been suggested. and 1t is likely that such plan could be adopted sa satisfactorily. Financiers would be anx- ious to get hold of these bonds, and the entire issue would sell 10 great advan- tage. The Spooner act, upon which the original appropriation of s6o'W0Oo0 was made, authorizes a bond issue of $l30,OOo GOO. in gold bonds, and that this may be made popular loan. the denomination of the securities has been fixed at $20 or null tiples of that sum. An appropriation or sl00. 100000 would be serious drain on the national coffers. and it has been sug- gested that the first proceeds of such q bond sale that contemplated by the Spooner act be devoted to paying back into the treasury the seooo,o00 originally appropriated. This would place part of the burden of the canal bonds on future generation, and would be but just, since
