In a general way the public interest
has been comparatively small, owing to
a desire to await the next government

While the market looks strong at pres

now around the recent high levels, we
would prefer TO await further assurance
on the Mexican situation and the money

changed completely; now, after see
ing Hilda, every point of vision was

SAD DEAD OF ALMA MILLER.

Death while at the post, of duty

ceived a telegram last Saturday tell

from the explosion of steam pipe
aboard the vessel on which he was
assistant engineer. Sunday afternoon
he received a second telegram telling
of his death, and Tuesday one that
said his body would be shipped that
afternoon at three o'clock. Accom-
panying the latter was a telegram
stating that "a sum of money sub
scribed by the officers ana crew OF
the five boats comprising the Pacific
torpedo flotilla had been forwarded
for the purpose of furnishing a suit
able floral offering to be placed on
his grave, and the sympathy of the
entire service goes out to you in
your loss, and Alma Miller will long

ANOTHER BIG DITCH.

Washington, June 2. - Another
great Atlantic-Pacific waterway, maxi
ing ship route between the eastern
and western coasts of the United
States, 1000 miles shorter than
through the Panama canal, will be
built soon by the United States, is
the opinion of Dr. Salvador Castrillo,
retiring Nicaraguan minister. In a
statement tonight DR.. Castrillo said
he believed canal treaty would be
negotiated between the United
States and Nicaragua and that the
canal would be constructed across
his country.
The canal treaty which is an inheri-
lance from the Taft administration
was negotiated by Minister Weltzel
last winter and has received the ar-
proval of the Nicaraguan govern
ment. BY it's terms Nicaragua, for
$9,000,O00, would grant the United
States the exclusive right to cos
st'"u canal across Nics ragua oy
way Of the San Juan river ; nd Lake
Nicaragua. This government also
would have a right to acquire coal
ing station in the bay of Fonseca on
the Pacific side.
"Of course the pending treaty may
be modified, said DR.. CASTILLO, "but
am greatly encouraged by Mr.. Bry-
ans assurance that he takes a broad
view of the subject after a careful
examination of the provisions of the
proposed route.
after all, the Panama is of mill.
tary and strategic importance, but
when it is realized that a Nicaraguar
canal would shorten the route to the
Pacific coast by an additional 2.00(
miles l am convinced that it will be
built"

FIGHT WITH AUTONIATONS

dream of a Danish engineer named
Aesen of seeing the next war waged
by automatons in place of soldiers
has developed into the patenting of
an invention which is claimed would
revolutionize defensive tactics. Ae-
seems contrivance is a cylinder which
may be buried in the ground for
years in the same fashion as sub
marine mines are placed in harbors,
doing no damage until they are
fired. The cylinder is operated by
electricity from station four or five
miles distant. When button is pres
sed the cylinder jumps two feet from
the ground and fires 400 shots hor-
izontally, the shots being effective at
range of $500 yards. Aesen as
erts that crops might be grown over
the automatons in time of peace and
thus they would be so we'll hidden
that the enemy would not know their
position until they started firing.

The plant food in composts is cas-

9. Bring your horse in cool and
breathing easily. If he comes in hot
he will sweat in the stable, and the
sudden stopping of hard work is bad
for his feet.
10. In hot weather or IN drawing
heavy loads, watch your horses
breathing. If he breathes hard, or

the most nervous of all animals, and
that little things annoy and irritate
him. Remember that he will be con-

particular charge against Cults is
that he made false report of the
