The forecasts which we msde years
ago of the success Of the Tehnsnlepec
route of interoceanic traffic are abun-
dainty confirmed. Official ststisiics
show that Tehusntspec hss already far
oustripped Pansms, and is steadily in
ereasing its lead. Although the Panama
route has been operated for more than
halt a century and the Tehsunlepec
scarcely three years, the trsfic Of the
latter is now more than FIVE times than
that Of tie former. Moreover, traffic at
Panama has declined 20 per cent 10 the
last two years, while that at TehusnIe-

rece ever made such progress as the
negroes have In the last forty years."
He had statistics showing that 74o, OOO
farms In the south are controlled by The
negroes, aud that they own 245, 600 Of
them. He mad noticed q growing gym
patty among the white people OF the
south for the negro, and that all we're
the happier for IT. he believed that
the colorsd ptopls in the south are now
further advanced than we're the Scotch
200 years ego. Mr.. Carnegie would
hardly have made that speech In Edln'
burph. SUI II the northern people
let the southern negroes alone the latter
will make better progress.

PALM SUNDAY DAY OF BEAUTY
Nature Assists Decorations in Max
ing Day Typical Of Triumph.
HOLY WEEK NOW BEFORE EASTER
Services sunaay Conmemorative ~
Christ's Triamphal Entrance Into
J~erpsalem over Road strewn
with Palms.

Palm Sunday, the last before Easter and
the beginning OF the last week Of Lent
commonly known TO the churches as holy
week. was generally observed in Omaha
yesterday. Catholic and Protestant
church alike celebrated the day, some to 6
greater extent than others. and the beauti-
full weather which prevailed tended TO
enlarge attendance OF worshippers at the
several services I'M the various churches.
Palm Sunday marks the most portentious
week in Christian history, as II was on
that day. 1875 years ago. that the Christ
entered Jerusalem. In triumph, riding on a
donkey never ridden before and over streets
strewn with palms. Three days later came
the betrayal. then the erucifixion, and then
the resurrection on Easter S~unday-thc
triumph. over death for the sting
glory of Christendom.
Then as now the palms we're used as
a sign OF triumph and welcome, and as the
palms were strewn over the streets of
Jerusalem when the Christ entered that
first day Of the week prior to his betrayal
and crucifixion, so were palms used in
profusion in the churches Of Omaha yes
terday. The palms were used not only In
decoration, but in the Catholic churches
they were blessed by the priests and given
TO the worshippers to tax home and to
preserve during holy week.
Special services /tsere held in many OF
the churches yesterday, large classes being
confirmed in some OF them and high masses
bolng said in all the Catholic churches.

NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY.
Change In Method of Selecting
Debating Teams.

BY a piece of legislation just issued, the
faculty nave made IT impossible to have
other than the best men represent the Uni
versity OF Notre Dame In Intercollegiate de-
batting. II was thought that the system In
vogue for many year for picking debating
teams could not be improved on, but the
latest ruling of the faculty adds TO all the
benefits OF the old plan. Hitherto the win
ners of the Clarke and Bolton prizes held
places as speakers. the men receiving
fourth places acting as a~ltsVnates. Outside
judges gave their verdict on the merits Of
the speakers, and up to this time their de-
cision was final, no change being made in
the order OF speakers which they had de-
termined on. The new rule, however, puts
the power of settling on the order Of speak
ers in a committee OF the FACULTY. From
the four men chosen by the judges this
committee will determine who shall do the
speaking and who shall act as alternate.
This modification will not change the dis
position OF the money prizes.
A departure In the method OF ~instrue-
ton in the college of arts and letters is
proving popular and valuable. Special lee
turers have been engaged for work In the
department Of English literature, Writers
