On Friday, the Goth ult, the hottest
day we had here, the Senate passed the
rate, food and meat bills. The Senate
surrendered to the House on the meat
bill, and the q. s. will pay the cost of
inspection. The rate bill was signed by
the President, that night, and goes into
effect in 60 days.
On Saturday night, the 30th, at 10
o'clock both houses of Congress, after
an interesting and occasionally exciting
seven months session, adjourned finally
They intended 70 adjourn earlier IN the
day, but the enrolling clerks in their
hurry. and perhaps in part on account
of the intense heat, got something's
mixed up, and that delayed matters.
Many of the members left the town that
night, and SO did President Roosevelt,
after he got through signing the bills
lie starting Immediately for Oyster Bay.
1t was a strenuous session and 1T
voted nearly nine-hundred millioas for
public purposes In the House it ended
with the usual vaudeville stunts.
Speaker Cannon was "kidded. Presi-
dent Roosevelt issued statement prais-
ing the work of the session, Senator
Hale got on his ear, regarding come
mistakes, and some of the members
drank too much of adjournment

Bryan's speech was made at the

American Society in London. He was
introduced by Whitelaw Reid; his text
was ''The White Mans Burden" and
he began as follows
Take up the White Mans Burden
In patience TO abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride,
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain

is uppermost in my mind tonight. No
one can travel among the dark k-skinned
races of the Orient without feeling that
the white man occupies an especially
favored position among the children of
men and the recognition of this fact is
accompanied by the conviction that
there is a duty inseparably connected
with the advantages enjoyed. There is
a white mans burden-a burden which
the white man should not shirk even if
he could. burden which he could not

The Proposed Canal.

The signing by the President, June
30, 1906) of the Lake Erie and Ohio
ship canal bill, closed a long struggle
1t is some thirteen years since some
Pittsburg capitalists conceived the idea
of bettering the freight conditions of
Pittsburg, by building ship canal from
the lake to the Ohio. They secured
Pennsylvania and Ohio charters, and at
last. have secured the sanction of the
National Government They have had
the route surveyed, and the money
raised, and say they will let contracts
and begin digging next Spring
The route will be from Beaver on the
Ohio, up the Beaver to its head. thence
up the Mahon1ng to Youngstown and
Niles, and on through the iake-hill to
the lake at Astabula. The lake-hill will
be the only deep cut. The plans call
for canal 142 feet wide, IL feet deep,
1O3 miles long. and capable of floating
boats that will carry 1000 tons. 1t will
have "a locks ard the carrying capacity
of fifteen railroads. The estimated cost
is forty six millions. and this is said to
be subscribed. If this canal is built it
