When leading physicians said that w

BILE consumption, his last hope vanished;
but DIR Kings New Discovery for con-

out of the grave. He says: ''This

it for ten years, and consider it mar

There seems to be good deal of dis
cussion in regard to whether the diff

offered as gifts from Rockefeller.
The churches should follow the example
of the oil magnate and pass nothing up
that looks like coin. His money can at
beast be used just as effectually as any
|pther and besides Re will have jus; that
much less capital with which to squeeze

THE PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION.

The resignation Of the members of
the Panama canal commission will en-
able President Roosevelt to select a
new commission along lines entirely
satisfactory to himself. Occasion for
the change seems to have arisen from
the presence of more or less conflicting
elements in the former commission.
which the president hopes to avoid in
selecting a new body.
1t is tribute to his appreciation of
civilians as distinguished from officers
of either the army or the navy. that he
has chosen for chairman of the new
commission a man prominently con-
nected with the railroad service in place
of Admiral Walker of the navy. If the
German emperor had to select a similar
commission, the chances are nine out ct
ten that he would choose an army officer.
There is no question that TO-. work
like that upon which the canal commits
sion will be engaged, civilian engineers
oItrank in number and probably in ex-
perience and ability those of either the
army or the navy. In fact it is some
what difficult to understand how the
education and training of naval officer
would qualify him in any special man
ner for work of this kind.
The canal will be constructed under
the administration of the war depart
ment, but there will be little of mill
tary character in connection with it.
1t is distinctly work for civilians and
under the direction of competen mt
railroad man it should proceed in a
satisfactory way in every respect

PEACE REPORTS CONFLICTING.

In the midst of the conflicting reports
concerning peace between Russia and
Japan, it is impossible to draw a salts
factory conclusion inregard to the situa-
tion.
There is good reason to believe, how
ever, that there is no foundation for the
rumor said to have originated in St.
Petersburg, that President Roosevelt
is to act as mediator between the belli-
gerents. He would hardly start upon
a vacation covering several weeks if
negotiations were about to be entered
upon of the character indicated by this
report. The matter would be of such
Importance that he would undoubtedly
remain in Washington until the negotia-
tions reached stage that would leave
him free to go away from the capitol.
The fact that reports from Paris :
resent Chat the talk ABOUT peace mas
been premature would be almost con-
elusive were it not for the possibility
that the French government may wish
to divert public attention from what is
really going on. Certainly if Russia
makes move looking toward peace, it
will take the French government into
its confidence. The fact, therefore,
that rumors of peace are denied in Par s
suggests that Russia has done nothir G
as yet indicating that it is prepared 20
enter into negotiations with view to
putting an end to the war.

tied Railways in Africa" (Daily
Consular Reports, No. 1898, July l.
1904 would call attention to the
following interview (printed in vari-
Gus newspapers), which Reuters
Agency had with Sir Charles Metcalfe
on November 10.
Sir Charles Metcalfe, who left on
that day for Victoria Falls in oroer
to superintend the extension of the
Cape to Cairo railway from the Fam
bes to Barotseland, will, on his ar
rival in South Africa, commence work
upon a scheme which is about to be
inaugurated for the settlement of COL
onists along the Cape to Cairo rail-
way. In the course of the interview
Sir Charles said:
Needs White Population.
"One of the greatest needs of South
Africa is an increased white popula-
ton, and with the object of inducing
colonists to come into the country
now being tapped by the Cape to
Cairo railway, land is being surveyed

Discussing the Cape to Cairo lin
and its extensions, Sir Charles mad
this statement:
Making Actual Progress.
Good progress is being made wit
the Cape to Cairo railway north o
the zambesi, on the section known a
the northern extension from Vic
toria Falls to Kalomo, the admins
trative center of Barotseland, dis
tanee of 100 miles. It is expecte
that the line to Kalomo will be open

extension of the railway toward Tan
ganyika. By that time we shall have
accumulated further evidence of the
mineral deposits in Northwest Rho
desia, to the south of the lake. From
Tanganyika it is probable that there
will be two lines, one through the
Kongo and another through German
territory. There will be plenty of
scope for two lines, one on either side
of the lake l know there are people
who think the Cape to Cairo line
mythical. There are others who
shrug their shoulders at this railway
development and say, Will it pay? |
am firmly of opinion that there will
be not merely one line in this region,
but that it will become network OF
railways. 1t is quite impossible to
say when the Cape to Cairo railway
as a whole will become an accom-
pllshed fact but am sure that 1t
must become one at no very distant
date. The way to make the Uganda
railway a paying concern is to join
II up with Khartum, and if Sir Will
liam Garstin's irrigation projects at
Roseires are carried out, the line
must be pushed on from Khartum TO
Roseires. Thence, naturally, 1t must
be gradually extended to the Uganda
line"
