'u ;, 3 i' ember of the Ithminn canal Sp
co 1 alon, su1lmits a minority report tic
sing tý'oia route. He, ss ye
the estim atesoer tlhe.Nicaragua cainal fo
41doi make sufficient provisions for in- te:
i-n,A conditions and contingencies. ca
ansideration. he says, has been ne
'" to accidental interruption of Sc
2 by Nicaragua, which, he thinks, co
,;d not be so likely to occur at Pan- i m
...- a. He believes that better condi- of
tons and terms can be arranged T.
$hrough the acquisition of the Pan.ma cc
Canal company's rights than by any '
negotiations with Nicaragua and Cos- ti
ta Rico. The government, after secur
ing these rights, he said, could negoti
ate direct with Colombia for the right rE
to construct the canal. He closed by ti
saying:
"The Panama route has advantages
over the Nicaragua route in cost of w
-"*onstruction, in cost of operation and
in convenience when done, while its ri
use is less likely to lead to local inter
national complicattions. If the United
States government is to build an Isth- f.
mian canal the Panama route is the ti
best."

house as any ordinary man of his age. s
He said he felt like he had taken a

New Orleans, Dec. 6.-Judge James
M. Thompson, in opening the district
court in Washington parish, the scene
I of the recent burning of a negro at the
s- take, followed by a riot at Balltown,
where several wives were lost, called
the attention of the grand jury to
these occurrences and urged it to take
Saction to maintain the good name of
tl:- ernmunity, which had been much
ii'u:red. The -grand jury, however.
brought in the following report:
"The men who participated in the
burning were among the best citizens
f~f the county, and nothing but a de
sire to protect those who are nearest
and dearest to them would move them
to undertake such measures."
FORGAVE THE PRINCE.
Qu.en Wilhelmina Makes up With the
rrlnoe 4onseeW.
3 Amsterdam, Dec. 6.-Semi-official
intimations have been circulated to
the effect that Queen Wilhelmina has'
forgiven her husband, Prince Henry,.
I of The Netherlands, the suggestion
being that the public ought"to follow
suit. Since Prince Henry returned to
Hetloo, the queen and he have been
dining together and gradually resum
r ing normal relations. Wednesday
s they walked together and afterwards
drove in Castle Pary.
Itelations between Prince Henry
and members of the court, however,
are strained. F'ormer cordiality has
been replaced by an attitude of frig$4
politeness on part of the prince coht
s sort and arparently the gentlemen of
a the court are equally indisposed to
a gloss over recent occurrences,

kinten, once a crack horseman of the
German army, will tittempt to break
the world's record for long distance
riding by traveling from New York to
n Chicago in seven days without chang
ing horses.
Mclkluten. who was for three years
n a member of the First regiment of the
Li- German raiding artillery, said:
L "The record of the world is now
held by a cavalryman in the German
army, who rode from Berlin to Vi
enna in eight days and a half. From
3. New York to Chicago, the distance
of is greater, but I propose to make the
a- trip on one horse, and do it in seven
days.
7, "According to the route of the mail
1 trains. It iR about 900 miles to Chi
Id cago. I may be able to take short
cuts and reduce that distance to about
875 miles. which means I must travel
123 miles a day. The distance from
B. Berlin to Vienna on a straight line
's is about 400 miles. but there are sev
of eol mrourtain eanges to be crossea
a andl the route by horseback is much
or longer. It would be diffcult to say
Je just how many miles the German cav
d, alryman travelled in making his rec
ord, but it is safe to say he did not
travel over as much roand as from
New York to Chicago. I have en
or agod one of the gamest horses in
nNew York and propose to settle his
mettle. I will not leave his back un
til we turn up in Chicago, except fo.
the nccc;;ary time required for rest
d ing and feeding."
