now known as Las Marquesanas, or
the estates of the Marquis. Cortez
having prior to the time of the land
grant heen made the Marquis Of the
Valley Of oaxaca
The map OF the world best illus
trates the commercial importance of
this great project which has now be-
come a reality, especially so when 1t
is understood that 1t Is claimed by
the builders and admitted by the best
shippin gauthorities of the world that
the cost of unloading and reloading
1t at the other terminus will not be
as great as that expended in the long
er haul to the Isthmus of Panama,
and-the necessary canal tolls.
The actual difference in distance
from New York to San Francisco be-
tween the Tehauantepec and the Pan
anna route is 1882 miles, the former
being 1925 miles and the latter 6107.
The average saving in distance is
about 1850 miles. The ordinary
freight steamer makes about 10 miles
an hour, or 250 miles day. 1t will
take a steamer about one day to pass
through the canal and the freight
about two days to cross the isthmus,
inclusive of the docking, unloading
and reloading. leaving still four days
to the advantage Ct the Tebauntepec.

City Of Mexico, Jan. 24.-When
General Porfirio Diaz, president of the
Republic Of Mexico. and Sir Weetman
Pearson nominally superintended the
unloading of the first ton of freight
from the steamboat Venture and saw
it loaded into a freight car ready to
be transported over night across the
Isthmus of Tehauntepec and the Te-
hauntepec national railroad, to Coatz-
acoalcos ready for reshipment by
steamer to New York, they CONNER
cially brought San Francisco 1887
miles nearer New York. The distance
around the Horn between the two
points is 1852 miles. while that via
the Isthmrs OF Tehuantepec practical
ly an all-water route, is only 1925
miles.
The great Tehuantepec highway
from one extremity of the northern
hemisphere to the other, the competi-
tor of the Panama canal, was opened
TO the traffic Of the world and the
dream which was born in the mind of
Herman Cortes almost 400 years age
came true.
Today. years before the possible
completion of the Panama canal
there is opened from one ocean to the
other an American isthmian route
contemplated by its builders not as
a makeshift pending the opening OF
the Panama route. but contemplated
to actively and effectively compete
with the Panama route when the ca
nal shall have been completed ant

would ask $50 for at least And it -
certain he would be unable to improve
the fit. The finer grades sell up 10 $50
and equal the merchant tailor's suits
at pa iN1Ct dS llluCIl-
The new things are by no means
confined to the suits. There are plcu-
ty of novelties in the well known NJ e

and Bradford factories. Pearls AMI
tans in a variety of shapes and trim

$3.50 to $3.50
With the advent of this warmer
weather light underwear comes in,oI
demand. NJ & X. are showing several
novelties in fancy weaves and colors
at sec per garment including some fiu,'
light weight camers hair. At 81 and

SOME OF THEM MURMUR:

Attitude of Saloons on Receiving No.
tice of New Regulations as
to Women.

AS stated in last evenings Argus.
Chief of Police Eckhart put in yeste.-
day notifying the saloons what they
might expect under the new admins
tratlOn. They were told that it might
as well be understood at the outsa
that women would not be tolerated n
or about any saloon premises not IN
the rooms adjoining the saloon or over
the saloon, and that all wine rooms
must be removed. In some quarters
the orders created an uproar. but in
the well conducted places the new
regulation was praised and COM
mended.
In the city generally the report Of
the stand the mayor has taken in this
respect is received with expressions of
sincere qualification. The wine room
and the women about the saloon consti-
tute-as The Argus has frequently
commented, especially during the past
two years-the greatest curse that can
befall a city and the saloon that can
not exist divorced from evils of this
nature should be put out of business
