Tuck French of New York and New
port, who were injured in an automo-
bile accident near Canton last night,
were resting comfortably at their no

tendants that Mrs. Leroy, for whom
grave anxiety had been expressed, had

Gus than a bad shaking up. Mrs.
French Jared no worse.

society leaders had been serious

The Nations Honor.

states, but to the present time congress
has not acted. He said:
The Nations Honor.
But the faith and honor of the nation
are pledged to their enforcement, and it is
as much the duty of congress to enact
legislation to carry into effect these pro-
visions of our treaties it is to appro-
pirate money and enact other legislation
which congress has always done to carry
out the provisions of our international
agreements. The result has been the only
been to demand indemnity for such in
Juries which the government has always
recognized and paid for. No nation claim
ing the higher prerogatiVe of the treaty
making power has a right to shield itself
behind the claim that of the conSti-
treaty and that the central government has
no authority to redress the grievances
He stated that We resented a similar
position taken by Brazil in 1873, and he
insisted that the question of the admis-
sion of alien races is a national question:
| that the federal government alone has the
power to exclude them from the states
and conoftion this should be done. He
considered the argument is merely
academic; that if there are no implied
limita tons to the treaty making power it
might be used to diSmember the union,
abOliSh the structure of government or
He asserted that this use of the treaty
making power is not within human prob
ability.
He said: when the time comes if it
ever shall. that such a demand is made,
it will be backed by a military power to

BARRIER IS DOWN.
Waters of the Pacific Flow Into the
Panama Canal.

Panama, Sept. 1.-The last remain
ing barrier at the Pacific end of the
Panama canal has been blown up by
dynamite. 1t was an intensely inter
eSting spectacle. An electric switch
was turned on and the 1900 specta-
tors, including the Shriners visiting
here from the United States and of
ficers of the British cruiser New Zea-
land, were rewarded by a wonderful
sight Hundreds of tons of mud and
stones were thrown high in the air;
there they hung suspended and then
fell back as the thunderouS roar of
the explosions re-echoed in the near
by hills. About 20 long tons, equiva-
lent to 44,S00 pounds, of 45 per cent
dynamite constituted the blast, which
was one of the largest ever set off in
the canal.
The charge which was planted in
514 holes at an average depth of 80
feet, tore a big gap in the barrier but
not to sufficient depth to permit
water to flow through, as the sea level
channel was at low tide.
Equally interesting as the explosion
was the actual breaking of the bar
rier, the tide creeping steadily up I'M
til it was level with the top of the
gap. A workman seized shovel and
made a small trench through which
rfll of water trickied. Gradually it
widened until an hour later a raging
torrent with 35-foot fall poured in
to that part of the canal between
Gamboa dyke and the Miraflores locks
which had previously been eXcavated
by steam ShoVels.
This cut, which is 5000 feet long
500 feet wide and IL feet deep below
mean sea level, was entirely filled and
the waters of the Pacific laved for
the first time the masonry of the
MirafloreS locks.
DredgeS passed through the opening
and in a few days the last vestiges of
the barrier will be removed eSta bliSh-
ing a practically completed channel
at the Pacific end
The dredges will begin on Septem-
Der to remove the last barrier of
the Atlantic channel. When this work
is accomplished ships may navigate
to the locks at both ends

CONDEMNS ATHLETIC GIRL.
British Colonel Finds Her Crude in
Methods and Lacking i'm Manners.

Athletic girls, their manners, and meth
DDS, came in for stern denunciation from
Colonel Sir Thomas Holdrich, when dis
tributing the sports prizes at Princess
Helena college Ealing. Nowadays, he said,
there was a tendency in sport to mistake
the means for the end.
Games were meant to make one happy
and strong, and incidentally to teach the
value of good temper and courtesy They
are not and never should be the whole
end and aim of existence The athletic
girl for instance, is not altogether worthy
of imitation, for if she does not wholly
succeed in getting in the front rank she
is too apt to show disappointment. She is
not always tidy as she might be. Her
methods are sometimes exceedingly crude,
and, to her manners, well, she has
none--London Cable to the New York
Tribune

Better by far that all the money and

We must get together and name
good officials, men who are public

and even increase their own taxes for
the betterment of our town. We
have men in our midst and many Of
them who will labor for Judith Gap

likes. Mutual understanding and

We want Il little city here Of which
we may be Justly proud and we can
have it without any vast expenditure

are contiguous. waterworks, a street
level established, street grading, fire

other things, but it stands to reason
that we cannot have these things at
