R CLOSE OF HORSE SHOW. Exhibition One of the Most Success- ful Ever Held in New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—The sixteenth annual exhibition of the National Horse Show Association was brought to a close shortly before midnight to-night at Madison Square Garden. according to the exp ons of the man- agement, has been one of the most suc- cessful ever held in New York. All the old horse enthusiasts, who usually reckon back from the days of the first horse show week in 1883, concede the undoubted success of the show just concluded. The crowds have been enormous and the qual- ity of the show itself has been well-nigh perfect. As is the custom, the last night of the show is always the banner night, and the programme presented was of the cham- plonship variety, the vast crowd at the garden applauded vociferously. The show was brought to a conclusion by the judg- ing of the hunters and jumpers. -— FAMOUS GAMBLING HOUSE IS DAMAGED BY FIRE The Texas, at Leadville, Colo., Has a Narrow Escape From De- struction. LEADVILLE, Colo., Nov. 24.—Fire yes- terday caused $2000 damage to the famous Texas gambling house here. The house sas opened in 1577 by Houston & Chap- man of Dallas, Te: and was furnished at an expense of $130,000. Their collection cf pictures by the best painters was one of the most expensive in the country. At the opening of the house the pro- prietors gave a banguet which cost $10,000, and which was made unique by the fact that men representing $1i5,000,000 sat at the table. Billy Youngson, who bought out the original owners, went broke, after killing Marshal Duggan. o e i NEVADA’S POPULATION STILL DECREASING Number of Residents Officially An- nounced by Census Bureau at ‘Washington.

No proposition was ever eard of to fortify the Suez Canal and no suggestion of this kind would be countenanced for a minute by European powers. The canai should be defended by the navy. Shi of any enemy of the United States mak- ing use of the canal could be disposed of one by one as they emerged from it. They would have to come through singly and would thus lose their effectiveness as a fleet.” g Speaking of what might be expected of representatives of the Panama Canal Company, Mr. Morgan expressed a belief that their efforts would avail nothing. “While those people are always repre- sented in Washington,” said Mr. Morgan, “they have never been known to make a tangible proposition. The only thing they have ever proposed the States go into partnership with French company. This, on its face, is ri- diculous. The Panama Canal Company is composed of some 400,000 Frenchmen and a partnership of this kind would mean war between the United States and France in a short time. Some $200,000,000 has already been spent on the Panama ca- | nal, and it fs vet far from completion. The company has more millions to spend, but its managers realize that if the United | States constructs a canal they can never | hope to compete with it. “In this connection I will make a predic- tion that twenty years after the opening of an isthmian canal owned and operated by the United States the use of the canal will be made free to the commerce of the world, and from the first year tolls can be reduced to one-third of those charged by the Spez canal and still provide a rev- enue which will pay interest on the cost of construction and provide a sinking fund which in ten years will entirely reimburse the United States for the amount ex- ended. “To build a canal we now have in the treasury $113,000,000 of the Pacific Railway fund. This money could not be put to better use. We also have a surplus reve- nue of $80,000,000 a year, and the revenue of two ieafi would be sufficient to con- struct the canal. Phoenix Stabbing Affray.
