voiced what are supposed to be the
views OF President Roosevelt AMI the
question OF type of canal. and made
references which would Indicate his
belief that the decision by all of the
European members of the board OF
consulting engineers in favor of sea-

sion of opinion in favor Of the S.

commission, to the South. Mr. Shontz
said that between the time OF the sell
ing of the supplies which will enter
into the construction of the Panama
ing of the canal wi, result in the de
velopment of the country. a gulf is
fixed. How great and how wide that
gulf is will depend on the type of
canal selected Mr.. Shontz spoke IA
favor of lock canal. as recommend
ed by the minority of the consulting
board. and Endorsed by the Canal Com
mission
The PRACTICAL question for all sec
tons of the country is. how long shall
we wait before we can enter upon the
period of development which the open
ing of the canal will bring to the
country? am not surprised that Eu-
ropean countries are Indifferent to the
early completion of this canal am
not surprised that they are Indifferent
as to how much this canal may cost
our government I am not surprised
that they can view calmly an indef- |
mite postponement OF the opening OF
this great waterway They are Meth |
er paying the bills. nor will their com
merce and industries suffer by waiting
for the completion OF this undertake
ing.
But am surprised that those who
are supposed to represent the best
Interests OF the American people
should try to throw Obstacles in the
way of realizing the benefits OF this
work at the earliest possible date
When We can get a better canal for
less money and receive the benefits
why wait: why make it 4 |
heritage to our children. with the pos
sibility of their being deprived of its
benefits through some unforeseen
I have spoken of
gull. Now how wide that gulf shall
be depends on the people Do you
want to reap the benefit Of this under
taking yourselves or do you want to
transmit a hope to your children or
your childrea's children"

THIRD ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.
General Min Slain by Young Girl at
Peterhof.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-General
Min, commander of the Seminovsky
guard regiment, and who, since his
promotion to be a general, has been
attached as a personal adjutant to the
suite Of the emperor, was killed On the
station platform at Peterhof by a
young woman, who fred five shots into
his body from an automatic revolver
and then, without resistance, submit
ted to arrest. The capture of the girl
was effected by General Minis wife,
who held her until the arrival of an
officer. 80 ,s-
Any Of the five wounds would have
resulted fatally. Two of them en-
tered under the left shoulder and
ranged downward, while the others
penetrated the chest from the back.
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists Immediately after the Moscow
revolt last December, on account of
stern repression practiced by bat
telion under his command, and es-
pecially for the wholesale execution
OF persons condemned to drumhead
courtmartial for being caught with
arms in their hands. a. y. n.y.

FEELING OF RESENTMENT.
Dictatorship May Be Next Step of Rus
sian Government.

Dictatorship May Be Next Step of Rus
sian Government.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 28.-The open
campaign against the government
which the Social Revolut1onists fnau-
gurated with the attempt on the life
Of Premier Stolypin Saturday and the
assassination Of General Min Sunday
has produced such a feeling Of resent
ment at Peterhof that the specter of
dictatorship has been revived. The
government, 1t is claimed, can only
rely on force to fight the terrorists,
as the public press, which might be
expected to manifest a revulsion OF
feeling against the crime which sac
rificed the lives Of a score of innocent
persons in the attempt to murder a
man who prsonally had not given
cause for offense remains coldly in
different. -.
Indeed, while expressing formal
words of condemnation. the hidden
satisfaction at the fact that the object
Of the campaign is to strike terror
into the heart of the government is
hardly concealed. Only the Novoe
Vremya and the official Rossia de-
nounce the terrorists as enemies Of
society.
The conclusions of the Liberal press
are summed up in the charge made
by the Rech that the government alone
is guilty and responsible for what has
happened.
The police have made hundreds Of
arrests since Saturday in an attempt
to get their hands upon the organizer
and participants in what is evidently
a powerful, far-reaching conspiracy,
but thus far they have been unable
to secure the threads necessary to ena-
BILE them to unravel the skein

President Palma to Use No Other

FFeSlQSnI 4FaiTldA& 10 Use NO" OInef
Means to Obtain Peace. @
. Havana, Aug. 28.-President Palma
is not disposed to employ any other
method than that of arms for the re-
establishment of peace. He declared
that the government here would alb
solutely never compromise with any
form Of disturbance or order. The
government was legitimately consti-
tuted, was bound by its imperious duty
and must demonstrate that 1t is stable
and able to safeguard property, life
and the happiness Of the republic at
present and in the future. Any COM
promise would SOW the seed or armed
revolution through the country. Nal
contents were always extant, 1t be-
ing impossible to find public positions
for every one. To compromise with
the disturbers now would rasult in
further disturbance every few years.
Suppressing the; insurgents now will,
forever more guarantee the stability
of the Cuban institutions, while dick
ering with them would expose the
country to another disturbance of the
peace in the near future. Il. *5$ nh 4

PALMA OFFERS PARDON.
Wants All Rebels to Quietly Lay Down
Their Arms.

Havana, Aug 2S.-The striking fea-
ture of the situation during the day
was the announcement that the gov.
eminent will Internationally pardon
all those who have taken up arms
against the government, excepting
captured commanders, and these also
will be pardoned if they surrender
with their. full commands and arms.
This order, which was issued by Act
ing Secretary of the Interior Montalvo
by direction of the president, followed
an informal statement made by the
president and containing a partial in
timation of the same thing. 1t ap-
pears that there was some opposition
to this course among the pl esident's
advisers, although . the majority IA
vored it. The order has not yet been
made public and there is much curl
osity as to how it will be received.

The latter is suspected Of having con-
sidered with Senator Alfredo zayas,
president Of the Liberal party, the
question of whether peace could not

Mendez Capote to succeed him and
by giving certain posts to the Lib

Ready to Buy. - e.,
Chicago, Aug. 28.-The Standard on
company has taken steps toward &C
quiring ownership of all the principal
distilling plants in the United States,
according to a special dispatch from
Peoria, ILL.,, to the Tribune. A confer
ence was held Friday last in Chicago
between Representatives of the distil-
ling interests and the Standard On
company. ..-..@
A price has been set on every dis
tillery in Peoria and indications are
that a deal will be effected and the
plants will pass into the hands of the
Standard soon. -, -
1t is said the price asked was con-
sidered too high by the Standard On
people and the latter threatened if
suitable terms could not be reached to
build distilling houses of their OWE j
The chief reason of this action ON
the part of the Standard Oh company
was the recent passage of the alcohol
bill by congress! Experts employed by
the Rockefeller interests, after expert
menting, reported their product cannot
be manufactured cheaply enough to-
make it a serious competitor Of gaso-
line, but that it could be used in the
manufacture of mercerized cotton and
other fabrics and would be an extreme
ly favorable product tc control.

have time in which to perfect an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, the preliminary action on which

No effort was made in behalf Of

the belief that he would share what
ever clemency was shown the woman.
Counsel for Mrs. Myers applied to
Judge Burgess of the state supreme
court during the morning for a writ
Of error to take the case to the United
States J supreme court for review.
Judge Burgess stated that because of
