The difficulties of constructing the canal, he believed, were exaggerated. He thought that the Nicaragua route was more to be preferred, as it was, in his opinion, more teasible and practicable than the Panama route. Mr. Clark declared that the Panama canal scheme was a hoodoo which ought to be “‘Peace, commerce and honest friendship | shunned and avolded.

Isador Strauss of New York dellvered the address at the unvell- ing of & monument to Hon. Willlam L. Wilson, late president of the university, | and, In dlscusstg Mr. Wilson's work in Tegard to the Wilson tariff, read a letter sent by President Cleveland to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Strauss sald the letter had never been made public. It Is as follows: canal, and the people desired, too, that the United States government should construct and control the canal. He polnted out that the eyes of the American people had been directed particu- 10 | larly toward the Nicaragua route, because it was supposed a French company had tho concessions for the Panama route and the United States was barred from that route. Mr. Allison said it was now proposed to build a canal thirty-five feet deep and wide enough with a volume of water sufficient to float the largest ship afloat. The minimum expenditure for the construction of the canal, he believed, would be more than $200,000,000. To meet this enormous expen- diture he favored the borrowing of the money, making proper provision for liqui- dating the principal and interest of the bonds. Morgan Closes the Debate. Mr. Morgan, chairman of the interoceanic canal committee, at the conclusion of Mr. Allison’s remarks began his speech closing the debate. He sald the canal lssue seemed to have come down to a single point—that of finance. On that point he deferred to Mr. Allison, but he did pot belleve with him, that it would be necessary to Issue bonds to pay for the comstruction of a canal Mr. Morgan particularly denounced the Panama canal route as a “place where labor and death join hand: He sald he had been trying to protect the United States from the shame of Intercourse with it. Those who wanted to ‘“‘touch that thing” might do so. “I would mot do it,” he declared, “for both canals.” Mr. Morgan urged congrees to determine the question of route and mot cowardly re- fer the matter to the president. In conclusion, he said: “Just one word in parting with this question, This duty was assigned to me by the senate and was not sought by me. “It we are to be beaten down here to- and America s to be disgraced, I shall, have had the honor, and the Amer- jcan people will give it to me, after I am dead, of having devoted honestly and sin- cerely the best labors of my life to the success of our project.” EXECUTIVE - MANSION TON, D.

To Proceed with Construction. title The president is then, through the Isth- mian Canal commission, authorized to pro- ceed with the construction of the canal, utilizing as far as possible the work that has been done. The nal 1s to be, as far as possible, supplied with American locks and other appliances. Provision is made for the construction of safe and commodious harbors at the terminus of the canal and for such works of defense as may be necessary for the safety and protection of the canal and harbors.

SENATORS ARE ENTERTAINED President Gives Dinner to Leading Republicans Who Are Favorable to Cuban Reciprocity. t or the $10,000,000 appropriated by WASHINGTON, June 19.—The president tonight gave a dinner to about a dozen leading republican senators favorable to Cuban reciprocity and discussed with them the ways and means of securing a reduc- tion of the duty on Cuban products in order that the pledges made to Ouba may be redeemed. Among those at the dinner were Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hale, Lodge, Spooner and Platt. Secretary Root also was one of-the guests. The president, it can be sald, is stead- fast in his determination that in some form or other and at the earliest oppor- tunity there shall be secured to the new republic of Cuba & substantial reduction of the import tariff on her exports to the United States, so that her people may feel that this country has kept every promise made them and have done all that could be fairly expected to assure permanence and proaperity to their newly established gov- ernment. How or when the result will be obtained is a matter that the president must leave to future developments, but it can be stated by authority that the administra- tion will continue unremitting in its en- deavors until it accomplishes Cuban reei- procity in some form or other. It has not been definitely decided whether this can be brought about better and earlier by a bill or by a treaty, nor whether good judgment and sound policy require that the matter go over for a time. The methods and op- portunitles were canvassed carefully to- night. BATES FOR A MAJOR GENERAL Army Promotions Recommended by Senate Committee on Mili- tary Afiairs.

Omaha members were so thoroughly antag- onistic to him because of some decislon he 18 sald to have rendered in the nature of & strike injunction that it was thought best to hold the vote eolid until it could be made decisive. Dinsmore was the favorite candi- date for several reasons, chief among them that he had many personal acquaintances and friends among the delegation and promised, it was thought, to run strongest in Douglas county. Then, too, the Van Dusen element of the delegation were in- clined to Dinsmore and were willing to joln In making it a solid vote for him. There were a number of Mickey admirers among the Douglas delegates, but rather than di- vide the delegation they acquiesced in the unit rule idea, knowing that if it came to the point where they could make Mickey they could then carry the entire delegation along with them. This, in fact, 1s what happened. Another point that called forth comment was the seating of the delegates in the auditorium hall. To quote the words of a well known leader, “We came down here as guests of the city of Lincoln, only to find that the best part of the hall and most of the front seats are occupled by them. Lancaster county men are always directly in front of the chairman; they catch his eye for recognition on every occasion; they make nearly all the motions and act as if it wae a Lancaster county convention eo far as they are concerned. I should think It would be the part of the host to take a back seat once in a while, and let their visitors enjoy a few of the privileges.” SHORT SKETCH OF MICKEY Serves in the Army Before He is of Age and Later Engages in Busines LINCOLN, June 19.—(Special Telegram.) ~John H. Mickey, who heads the republican stato ticket as candidate for governor, is a man slightly below medium height, of rugged bulld and kindly expression. He is an lowan by birth and 57 years of age. Asked o tell something about himself he modestly replied in response to pertinent questions: “I was born in 1845, near Burlington, Ia. My father was a farmer and I was raised on a farm. My education w obtained in the common séhdols of the place, but was finished off aftér I returned from the war by two years' atfendance at Wesleyad col- 1 at Mount Pleasant. Although not yet of age I nad enlisted’ in August, 1863, in Company D of the Eighth Iowa cavalry, in which I served until mustered out under a general order in August, 1885. My career in the army was fairly active. Our first as- signment was for scouting in central Ten- nessee. In the spring of 1864 we went through with the Sherman campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta, laying the founda- tions for Sherman's famous march to the sea. In the fall of that yeaf we were with Thomas and Hood's expedition to Nashville, engaging the enemy at Frankville and at Nashville, “After the war I went back to Tow. then in 1868 came to Nebraska, taking a homestead in Polk county. Before leaving Towa I had married in September of 1867. My wife was Miss Marinda McCray of Des Moines county, Iowa. Of my domestic life all I need to say is that I have nine chil- dren, five boys and four girls, all alive, three of them married. I lived on my Polk county homestead until 1872, when I moved my residence to Osceola, having been chosen county treasurer. They kept me in the office of county urer for ten years, from 1879 to 1890. I served in the legisl ture of 1881, but I never occupled any other public position. I am now president of the Osceola bank. 1 am farming a tract of 240 acres and am engaged in stock raising, making a speclalty of fine Shorthorn breed “I was born and raised a Methodist and have been constantly identified with that church, active more especlally In promoting its educational work. 1 am president of the Board of Truestees of the Wesleyan university at University Place. 1 believe in broad and liberal education. for all the people. 1 would have no sectarfanism in any public insti- tution, although I belleve that there is work for the sectarian colleges outside of and in addition to that of the State uni- versity. “In politics I have always been a re- publican. In my speech before the conven- tion I recalled voting for Abraham Lincoln when I was only 19 years of 1 ought to have explained that this was under a special act of the legislature of Towa pro- viding that all soldiers in the fleld should be allowed to vote without regard to age and their ballots sent home. As I have said, I hope to make an active campalgn and enlist the cg-operation of every repub- lican in Nebrask SUBMIT PLAN TO THE POPE Fi and t Coumclusions of the Cardim Concerning the Friar Land in Philippin.

It is not unlikely, however, that some of the bituminous districts will take action similar to that of the entral Pennsyl- vania district, which last -ught declded to cut down the soft coal production from that territory one-third. Mora soft coal is coming into the anthracite market ‘rom that tlon than the labor leaders ex- pected, and they will make a special effort to reduce the output. They are capped in this effort to some extent by the fact that not more than two-thirde of the 42,000 workers in the district are or- ganized. A little dissatisfaction was expressed Ly some of the strikers that the date of tbe convention was set a month hence. feel that something ought to be Gona with- out walting thirty davs. While the iead- ers around strike headquarters will not talk, it i bellesed the fixing of the date for July 17 was & wise move A ‘folal sus- pension, or even x partial curfailment of production, would have a asrious efcct on the business interests of the country, and it is hoped that during 'he next month some plan may be devised by which euch a etate of affairs can be avcided.
