ONE CANAL MUST BE BUILT John Jenkins Bays Interoceanic Waterway is Commercial Neoessity, NICARAGUA FAVORS OVER PANAMA Objection Based on Liability to Earthe quake Yhocks Amswered by Point- ing to Deep M tesian Wells Along Route, » and Ar- Hon. Jobn Jenkins, United States consul general to San Salvador, who has within the week returned'from Central America, is very much interested in the fate of the isthmian canal question pending in con- gress. He expresses a decided preference for the Nicaragua route and answers the objections recently advanced against it, based on the volcanic character of con- tiguous territory. “I do not know the position of the canal of Nicaragua or that of Panama in con- gress,” sald Mr. Jenkins, 1 have been more than a month away from where I could get news in relation to the merits of either. I have always been in favor of the Nicaragua canal, and it seemed to me at one time as though that route was to be selected as the right one. Much has been id about the merits of either route. That & greater expense would be incurred in bullding the Nicaraguan route needs no explanation. It is a fact; it would be more expensive than the bullding of the Panama canal, according to the figures for which the Fremch commissioners offered to sell their vested rights in that route. “It is claimed for that route a short dis- tance, as compared with that of Nicaragua. I believe that position is true. It must not be overlooked, however, that certain ad- vantages of the Nicaragua canal route offer which cannot be found in the Panama, namely that of seagoing ships with a foul bottom, which will have a greater oppor- tunity of being thoroughly cleansed by passing into the fresh waters of the lakes of Nicaragua. To the mariner and the man experienced in steamship bullding that ad- vantage Is a great one, minking a difference 1o speed of one or two knots, and, perhaps more, per hour at the same cost of fuel. Question of Earthquakes. “I have lately observed that since it has become known that there have been seismic troubles In the Caribbean sea and the north gart of Guatamala, ranging from Nicaragua up to Mexico, that this is advanced as a Teason why the canal should not be bullt in Nicaragua, as It would be subject to these upheavals and in one minute destroy the whole canal. To the person who has lived In those countries for many years and has taken the pains to inform himself, that objection would carry no weight. From inquiries made, as well as from ob- servations taken by myself, I know that in the mines of San Salvador those earth- quakes never have any effect beyond a shake, do not destroy the work, nor impair it in the least. Even artesian wells that bave been sunk to a great depth have never been disturbed by the earthquake, showing that an earthquake has greater effect on the surface of the earth than on the in- terlor. The workings of an eartb-uake are well represented by the distu ,ances at ®ea by winds, which send the waves very bigh. The waves do not disturb the water below to any great depth, nor is the effect of the earthquake felt at any great depth below the surface. “It the advocates of the Nicaragua canal were as determined and persistent as the promoters of the Panama canal in having Do canal unless it is built in Panama, they would not offer that as an objection. They ‘would very properly, it that was their mode of pursuing the advocdcy of their canal, point out to the great cut known as the Cut of Culvera, or better known under its old name of Golgona, where a shake would cause the two sides of that hill to come down and close up. Canal is & Necessity. ‘As an advocate of a canal, in the inter- est of commerce, I would rather see a canal dbullt in Panama than to have none. It is & necessity for the development of the American commerce that it be had. With wil the objections that have been offered ®gainst the Nicaragua canal there is one Teason in favor of it that must not be lost sight of in the Interest of true economy. We have a large navy, and if the canal of Panama is buill with the acquired inte: ests which the United States will command, it will demand an additional force to guard the coast line of 1,600 miles more, as Nicaragua is about that distance further north than the ithsmus. While the cost of that canal may be greater, and while it will be longer than the route of Panama, a great deal of time would be saved by ships Baving business between San Francisco and he Atlantic coast, which saving would wedound as against the first and original ©ost of the canal. . ‘‘There is, perhaps, another reason that may be advanced and that is that I deem 4t to be the mission of the United States to foster its higher civilization upom this continent. I know the task to be a great one, but If we take it by plecemeal, we will accomplish it in due time and stay An the limits, as it were; with Nicaragua 10 begin with. It will be much easier to take the rest in due time. “Ie conversation with the most advanced /o marriage only when there is fiw&n'el:lfledhu. correspondence is and sacredly VR R. V.

On that day also the authority of regent, which has been exercised by his mother, Queen Maria Christina, sinke his birth, will cease. It is not unusual for & monarchs to assume the duties and per- plexities of royal station at the age of 18, History records several precedents. Louls VIX of France ascended the throne at 19, Louls IX was 5 years younger. Louls XIIT was proclaimed at the age of 9. England has had ten kings and queens ranging In ge from 20 years (Edward IV) to 8 (Henry VI). James 1 began to rule at 12. The crown fell to Victoria at 18. Alfonso's own grandmother, Isabella 1I, began to reign at 13, Contrary to the public idea, s the New York Tribune, Alphonso XIII is not to be crowned. In fact there has never been a coronation in Spain, for this is a custom foreign to the institutions of the country. The only official act stamping him as the actual king of the realm will be the taking of the oath of alleglance to the constitution. Alphonso XIII has been king in name all his life, for the reason that his father, Al- phonso XII, died on November 25 of the year prior to the birth of his son. The ceremony will be celebrated in Madrid in the Chamber of Deputies, in the presence of the court, the ministry, the kigher functionaries of the government, the senators, the deputies and a long train of other officials. On his arrival the king will be recelved at the foot of the stairway by the president of the ciumber, who will con- duct him to a raised platform in the as- sembly room, upon which a throne and altar will have been erected. Bowing to the sen- ators and deputies standing at the foot of the throne and to the tribune ocecupied by who are on the ground the “passing of the frontier” fs an anclent theme, but it lingers as a live subject in the east. Thue the New York Independent discusses the topic, editorially: From the southwest portion of the Mis- sissippl valley s reported an era of rail- road building that is rapldly developing the only part of the prairie west remaining unsettled, and, in a sense, undiscovered. The great cattle ranches of the Texas Pan- handle and of the far reaches to the north are being crossed in several directions by new lines of rallway and the farmer is fol- lowing the locomotive into the more prom- ising areas of the newly opemed section. In Oklahoma alone, where & decade ago only 400 miles of road were operated, there are mow 1,436 miles, most of the addition baving been bullt in the last three years, and 800 miles more are under construction. Two lines have recently been bullt across the southwest, conmecting the states to the north with the Mexican border. Other lines are projected from the heart of the cattle lands to the Gulf, and branches are being bullt wherever an occupled portion remaine. Nowhere in the United States is there so rapid an extemsion of eel rails. Such frontief as there has been in the last two decades was in the southwest. There the ranch owners remained monarchs of the grazing lands and barbed wire fences forbade the entrance of the man with a plow. Ranches that had the extent of some eastern commonwealths monopolized the land and the coming of the small farmer was postponed as long as possible. The recent action of the Texas legislature in limiting the amount of school land to be used by one person to four sections, and the federal government's order, now being enforced, compelling the removal of fences from the public domain, have done much to bring about an opportunity for the im- migrant. He bas taken advantage of it and s making much progress in the trans- formation of the southwest and the obliger- Tributes to Sailor Dead | ‘Why not make floral tributes to the re- public’s sallor dead a permanent feature of Memorial day throughout the country? Thus to honor the naval heroes, whose un- marked graves are in the deep, elaborate preparations are being made along the en- tire coast of California. The ceremony consists largely In strew- g flowers upon the ocean, which is thus made literally to blossom as the rose. The unique and beautiful idea originated with Mrs. Armitage 8, C. Forbes of Los Angeles, Cal.,, to whoni the inspiration came iIn a curious manner. Belng among other things & newspaper woman, Mrs. Forbes was anx- fous to provide her paper with an original Memorial day story. While pondering over it one morning she sang a favorite song as she went about the room, “Cast Thy Bread Upon the Waters.” In preoccupation she substituted, unconsciously, “‘Slowers” for “‘bread. st Thy Flowers Upon the Waters,” she caroled and suddenly stopped. Why not cast flowers upon the waters which covered the sailors’ last rest- ing place and thus inaugurate a custom which should become a part of the Me- morial day observances? Belng a patriotic woman, Mrs. Forbes saw in this another means of teaching patriotism to the young, and she therefore at once determined to interest the school ehildren in the matter. Thelr response through school superintendents was most enthusi- astic. As a result of this, on Memorial day, a month after the idea was borm, beautiful ceremonies in honor of the sailor dead took place in the Pacific coast towns Dear Los Angeles. To Santa Monica this year belongs the distinction of having Mrs. Forbes in charge of the ceremonies. Long Beach and other places zlong the coast have been eager to get her, but she gives the preference to Santa Monica, because Its Hearness to the Soldiers’ home enables the naval veterans there to join her at the beach and do thelr part in bonoring old comrades; besides, Mrs. Forbes wmaturally likes to be among the veterans who have made her an homorary member of their assoclation. These jolly old tars are as busy as bees &t the home just mow rigging a miniature the diplomatic corps the young man will then take the oath of allegiance. The whole ceremony will not take more than fifteen minutes. Going and coming from the Chamber of Deputies, the king, his mother and the royal suite will ride in a stately procession, which will be both sumptuous and ple- turesque. Dressed in gala uniforms, those who are to partake in the ceremony will drive to the Parllament house In the his- toric carriages, painted by famous Spanish artists and by eminent foreign masters. Many of the carriages, too, are richly orna- mented with bronze, silver and tortoise shell, having been made for King Philip V, and copled from the court carriages of Louls IV. Four horses will draw each of the first series of carriages, containing the courtiers. The Infantas and great digna- taries of the palace will ride next in car- riages drawn by six horses. Then will come the carriages conveying the king and his mother, each carriage drawn by six horses and the rein of each horse held by a foot- man dressed in the glittering uniform of the period of Charles V. Gorgeously attired cavalry, of the regiment forming the garri- son at Madrid, together with a special bodyguard of Spanish noblemen on horse- back, will canter by the side of the car- riage of the king. Following the ceremony of taking the oath there will be a reception at the palace and &"“Te Deum" performed at one of the principal churches in Madrid. In the aft- ernoon, because of the popular demand for such a spectacle, there will be a bullfight, but because of the apathy which the king and his mother have always evinced toward this national sport, the principal feature of the performance, which is known as “cava- lers In position,” where young noblemen ation of the frontler. Of course, in its fuller meaning, the frontler of the days of early settlement In the west is the only one; that of today is merely a statistical fiction. The census takers find an average population of less than two persons to the square mile and draw a frontler line. Beyond, they say, is “‘uninbabited.” Yet across that boundary are houses, sheds, corrals, barbed wire fences, high grade cattle and wrinkled- fleeced sheep. The frontier of today is a matter of mathematics and theory; that of thirty years ago was definite. Men could name the section line at which civili- 2ation ceased and savagery began. The rising tide of immigration met with a re- sistance that gave distinction to ite border and clothed its advance with dramatics. The “bad man" and the homesteader went side by side; the town lot promoter and the dance house manager, the preacher and the cowboy. The builders of new rail- roads and drivers of frelght wagons on the long tralls were there; professional sharp- ers came with the hard-working farmers. The struggle with conditions was often {ll-advised. Out of western Kansas and Nebraska during the five years following 1890 moved a quarter of a million people. The cattlemen fenced up the land again, including allke the public domain and the abandoned claim, thinking that never agaln would there be Inquiry for the property. Of late the_tide has turned westward once more, and with a better understanding of the limitations of the soil and climate another effort is being made to settle permanently the vast level expanse known in western parlance the “short-grass country.” Perhaps it can be done, but it will not be by agriculture alone, and those €ager advocates of settlement who are urging special methods of crop-raising as adapted to semi-arid western lands, may have much to unlearn when the west meets with another series of drouthy seasons. However this may be, !t is certaln that the new settlers are entering on their task ship, which on Memorial day will be elaborately trimmed with flowers and launched from the wharf among the other emblems sent out to sea. There is also a rumor that they are designing a marvelous anchor, which they will present to Mrs. Forbes, to be used by her as her tribute to their departed comrades, whom she is Interesting the country to honor. It is Mrs. Forbes’ notion to have observances in memory of the sailors sim- ple, but as impressive as possible. The preliminary ceremonies are to be held on shore and will consist of patriotic speeches and songs, an address suitable to the oc- casion and part or all of the service for the dead of the Natlonal Association of Naval Veterans. After this the officers in charge and the school children are to march down to the end of a wharf. A firing squad of soldiers will peecede and on their arrival will fire a salute over the waves. The flower strewing will then begin and thousands of blossoms will be cast upon the waters, some in garlands, some In nautical emblems, others loose, but all of red, white and blue. The effect of the sea blossoming with the national colors is most beautiful and stirs alike the heart of art Mrs. Forbes has had the support of the bighest officers of the navy, who heartily endorse her plans. Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Evans and many others have written to her expressing their ap- preciation of what she is trylug to do for those who have gone aloft forever. Through the courtesy of the secretary of the navy and of Colonel Stone of San Fran- eisco a revenue cutter is to be placed at Mrs. Forbes' disposal for the ceremonles this year. This will go out from Santa Moniea, flower trimmed and flower laden, and fmpressive ceremonies will be held at sea under the auspices of the Naval As- soclation Woman's Rellef corps of Los Angeles. In addition to this a service will be held on shore by the children. It 1s tl ardent desire of Mrs. Forbes to have her floral tribute to the sailor dead become a permanent feature of Me- morial day throughout the country.

Ceremonies Attending His Assuming the Throne. descend Into the ring to fight the bull, will be eliminated. This aversion of the royal tamily to bullfights has had a dampening effect upon these performances, so that they are not as popular as in former times. In the evening the bigh aristocracy of Madrid, the lords and ladies of the court, the granddames of Spain, and especially their marriageable daughters, will attend the grand ball at the palace. At that time, too, many a proud mother will jealously watch to see who dances with her daugh- ter most, and the gossips will find food for months of surmise and conjecture as to the marriages of the ensuing year. Those who have had the opportunity to know the young king say that, aithough naturally delicate, he has much of his mother's strength of character, and dis- plays a scope of learning which, In the opinion of some, amounts to more than pre- coclousness. His life thus far has been one of routine and study. His education in books has been forced, and from tutors and governesses he has learned, with remark- able correctness, French, German, Italian and English. The boy appears, moreover, to realize in full that at this time, when he steps from the echolar's desk to the monarch's throne, he takes upon his nar- row shoulders the burdens of a government which would be likely to break down a less determined spirit. This country will be represented on this memorable May 17 at the Spanish capital by Rev. D. Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry, who sailed from New York on the steamer Stat- endam on April 19. Dr. Curry ie an ex- minister to Spain, baving been appointed to represent this government at Madrid by President Cleveland in 1885. After three years' service 2t the Spanish capital Dr Curry returned to assume again: the duties of the general agent of the Peabody educa- tional fund. A New Era Makes It a Reminiscenci much better equipped than were those of old. According to reports they are plan- ning to raise stock as well as crops and will be prepared thus to survive in lean crop years. With the irrigationists reaching out from the river valleys and the settlers moving further westward over the only open plain remaining thie side the Rocky mountains, with Pullman cars rolling where the stage coach and the saddle pony have been, since | the beginning of American settlement the | only modes of conveyance, it is evident that the frontier—even that of the census takers’ fiction—Is passing into anclent his- tory. With it goes much of the picturesque in new lands. The cattle herd winding along the dusty trall has some attraction for nearly every ome; the same herd hud- dled into a rumbling, dirty train of stock, cars gets scarcely a glance and not a single thought. The cowboy with his sombrero appeals far more to our imagination than does the hired man following the harrow. Yet it is out of the civilization typified by the hired man and the cattle train that come the fullest and best returns. This it is that is to bring tv its consummation the middle west and give to it the business and agricultural standing that its possibilities merit. It is estimated that 160,000 people have gone into the southwest, which in- cludes the recently settled lands of Okla- boma in the last vear. Most of them are there to s Others are going by every homeseekers’ excursion that is run to that section. They, too, will stay. New towns by ‘the sccre are springing up glong the Just laid tracks and in each is the full com- plement of business houses. There will be in this settlement no such receding as in that of the first rush to tife plains. The frontier will not return. A glimpse of it may be caught here and there on the plateaus of Arizona and New Mexico, but even there the new conditions are being established. The frontier is to the west a reminiscence, & new era has begun. B L Waves Strewn with Blossems of Many Colors. In places where flowers are not abundant leaves can be substituted and beautiful wreaths and garlands they make, as every- one knows. This year Mrs. Forbes hopes to suc- ceed in getting a ship sent out from Key West to strew flowers over the Havana harbor, and thus do honor to the victims of the Maine. The secretary of the navy has promised the ship if she can get the flowers, but there arises her dificulty, for flowers do not grow at Havana or Key West. This obstacle she hopes to over- come by having flowers donmated by patriotic women, two of whom, Miss Helen Gould of New York and Mrs. Posey of Los Angeles, she hopes may furnish all the flowers that are necessary. There is no reason why every ship at sea should not have a floral service of its own on Memorial day. The sallors could make paper flowers. They are deft with their fingers and could while away many a tedious hour by flower-making and the de- signing of flower anchore, ships, flags and such other emblems as suit their nautical taste. The work would have the charm of movelty and appeal to the hearts of all who &0 down to the sea in ships. Mrs. Forbes is a resident of Los Angeles, but a Pennsylvanian by birth. She has the blood of patriots in her veins, being de- scended from John Page, the first male child born in Philadelphia, and her an- cestors were conspicuous in the revolu- tionary war. None of them, however, was a sallor and she is the first of her family in whom patriotism has taken a naval bent. Going to Kansas with her parents in her youth, Mrs. Forbes was educated at Wich- ita, where she marrled an Englishman, Armitage 8. C. Forbes. With him she went to London, where her taste for art and lit- erature developed and was increased by years of travel in the old world. She wrote letters to American newspapers and upon her return to this country gave con- slderable time to jourmalism. Though prominent in women's clubs, Mrs. Forbes i by no means the typical new woman. On the coatrary, she is intensely feminine, believes that the home is woman's sphere, never allows outside matters to interfere with . domesticity and bhas Do Interests which her husband does not share.
