Commission.
?
Washington, Jan. 20.-Thepresic
sent to Conrgess, with a message s
ply Of transmittal, the supplemei
report of the isthmian canal corni
sion, in which it is unanimously
ommended that the offer of the i
Panama Canal Company, te sell all
its rights, property and unf?nis
work to the United States for $
000,000, be accepted. The senate
dered the report printed in the C
gressional Record and also as a dc
ment.. The report gives in full the c
respondence which has passed
tween the commission and the Pana
Canal Company at Paris, which
eludes a cablegram from the pu
dent of the'board, dated January 9,
follows : "
"The new. Panama Canal Comp*
declares that it is ready to accept
the totality, without exception to
property and. rights on the isthm
the amount of $40,000,000, the at*
offer to remain in force up to Mai
4 1903."
The report states that the"totalit
mentioned in this message inclue
fifty-six parcels of land, amounting
3Q,000 acres, which cover nearly
the ground required for the actual cc
struction of. the canal. It also i
eludes 2,431 buildings'.usedfor office
quarters, hospitals, store houses, ? e
also an immense amount of machine]
consistingg of floating plant, tu<
'dr?dges, locomotives, cars, etc.
also includes all exa?avation work i
compiished upon the. main canal lir
amounting .to 36,700,000 cubic yare
The value of. the work already do
is estimated at $22,895,028, less co
Mngencies .estimated at $4,579,0C
makins: au 'aggregate of $27,44,0c
The offer also embraces all of ?
existing 77,000 shares of the Panar
Railroad and Canal Company, exce
JU 100 shares held by individuals
Europe and the United State
Agianst this property are mortgaj
bonds amona ting to $3,439,000. <
this amount the Canal Company ow'
$871,000. It also holds in the trea
ury $1,064,000 subject to slae or ca
collation, leaving in the hands of tl
public $1,504,000. These bonds be;
41-2 per cent interest. There a
also outsanding $996,000 6 per cei
sinking fund bonds. The transf
also will incl ade the passenger ar
freight steamers of 2,000 tons ead
The railroad company owns an und
*vided interest in the islands of Nao
Culebra, Perico and Flamence, in tl
Bay of Panama, the Pacific TVfa
Steamship Company being the joii
owner. Besides its right' of wa:
terminals, wharves and consideraba
areas cf land, it owns nearly the who!
of the town of Colon, the houses thei
being constructed under lease;
Summing up the commission finds th
value of the property to be as follows
Excavation work done, $27,474,032
Panama Railroad stock at par, $6,S86,
300: maps, drawing, etc, $2,000, (XX
Total. $36,360,333.
Add 10 per cent to cover commis
sions, $3,639,668. Total, $40,000,000.
The estimated cost of constructin
the Nicaragua Canal is $45,630,70
more than the cost of completing th
Panama CanaL The estimated annus
cost of maintenance and operation i
$1,300,000 greater at Nicaragua tba]
at Panama. The Panama route wouli
be 139.6 miles shorter than the Nica
ragua route, from sea to sea, with few
er locks and less curvature, both ii
degrees and .miles. The estimate?
time for a deep duraft vessel to pres
throngh the Nicaragua Canal wa:
"placed at 30 hours, as against 12 hour
for Panama, these estimtes being th<
time of actual navigation and not in
eluding delays for winds, currents o:
darkness. If the passsage were mad<
without interruption about a da]
could be saved by the Nicaragua ove:
the Panama route by ordinary steamer?
handling commerce between our Paci
fie ports and all Atlantic ports, anc
about two days by steamers of th?
same class trading between our Guli
ports and North Pacific ports. The
time advantage of the Nicaragua rout?
would be less in the case of fast, high
powered steamers, the use of which is
increasing. Between Atlantic ports
and the west coast of South America
the Panama route has the advantage
of about two days, and between Guli
ports and the west coast of South
America the Panama route has the ad?
vantage of about one day. The trade
o? the western coast of South Ameri?
ca is a very important one, which has
. hitherto been in European hands.
The oiler received i"rom the new Pana?
ma Canal Company to convey all its
property, including all its interest in
thee Panama Railroad to the United
Staes. will make the estimated cost of
the two canals as follows:
Nicaragua, $189,864,062: Panama,
$134,23$,35a
The transfer would give title to all
the hv:c\ now held by both the Pana
. ma Canal Company and the Panama
Railroad Company, which covers near?
ly all lands required for the construc?
tion of the canal. The land held by
private parties at Nicaragua must be
acquired .and its acquisition may prove
expensive.
Tte advantages of the two canal
route- have been restated according to
the findings of the former report.
There bas been no change in the views
of the commission with reference to
any of the conclusions then reach
ed. bu: the new proposition submitted
by the new Panama Canal Company
make- a reduction of nearly seventy
milli * dollars in the cost of a canal
aer ? * the Isthmus of Panama, ac?
cording Do the estimates contained in
the for:?: T report.
The retort concludes as follows:
"After considering the changed con?
ditions that now exist, and all the
fae's and circumstances upon which
its present judgment must be based,
the commission is of the opinion that
"the practicable and feasible route"
for an isthmian canal, to be
"under the control, management and
ownership of the United Skates,'' is
that known as the Panama route."
Tho report is signed by the entire
commission.
The State department win now pro?
ceed to arrange a protocol with Minis?
ter Silva engaging Colombia to ap?
prove the transfer of the franchise of
the Panama Company, ;and _ to make
any desirable extensions of time, both
in the allowance for the completion'of
the canal and in the life of the lease.
LECTURED THE SON OF HEAVEN.
Ministers of Foreign Powers Re?
ceived as Representatives of a
Sovereign Equal in Rank to
Chinese Emperor.
Peking, Jan. 23.-The ministers of
the foreign powers here have attained
the goal which has been their aim
since intercourse between China and
the powers began. They have been
received as representatives of sover?
eigns equal in rank to the Chinese
emperor.
The audiences yesterday between
the emperor and the ministers were
held in the innermost large hall of the
Forbidden City. The emperor sat on
a dais behind a table. There were
four princes at the back of his chair
and a dozen officials at each side.
The dowager empress was concealed
by a screen, according to the stories
of the attendants, and remained invis?
ible.
The emperor was silent throughout
the audiences and remained stolid
and impassive. Formerly the empe?
ror replied to the ministers in
Manhcu, and the princes interpreted
what he said. Today he appeared as
ah automaton, and the secretaries of
the foreign ministers who were
present, report that he looked weaker,
less intellectual and more childish
than prior to the siege of the legations.
Sir Ernest. Satow, the British repre?
sentative, made the following address:
"My august sovereign has charged
me to express to your majesty his
sincere desire to see the independence
and the integrity of the Chinese
empire maintained intact and that the
prosperity of .the Chinese people may
be hastened by the removal of ob?
stacles to the free exchange of commo
dies, by the extension of manufac?
tures and by the utilization of the re?
sources of the soil.
.'If under the enlightened rule of
your majesty, the barriers which in
the past hindered the free and
mutually advantageous intercourse of .
China with the rest of the world be
completely removed and her domestic
institutions wisely regulated, it is cer?
tain that China, advancing along the
path of progress,' will attain to a
height of prosperity unknowu in the
past."
The ministers of the foreign powers
entered the Forbidden City at the
main gate, leaving their military es?
corts outside. At the second gate
they entered yellow chairs, like those
furnished for the princes and secre?
taries. They walked through the inner
courts of the Forbidden City and their
cortege retired from the city by the
east gate.

A LITTLE BOY'S LIFE SAVED.
I have a few words to say regarding
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved
my little boy's life and I feel that I can?
not praise it enoagh. I bought a bottle
of it from A E Steere of Goodwin, S D,
and when I got home with it the poor
baby could hardly breathe. I gave the
medicine as directed every ten minutes
until he 4ithrew up" and then I thought
sure he was going to choke to death. We
had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth
in great long strings. I am positive that
if I had not got that bottle of cough med?
icine, my boy would not be on earth to
day.-Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa. For

DUN'S WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
New York, Jan. 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co's. Weekly Review of Trade tomor?
row will say: Little of a novel nature
has deveolped in the business or finan?
cial situation during the past week.
Conditions of the preceding week were
accentuated as a rule, active manufac?
turing plants becoming still more bus?
ily engaged while the downward ten?
dency of prices was not checked. Re?
tail trade is of immense volume, and
jobbers have immense spring orders to
fill. Western cities send the most sat?
isfactory returns, but nearly all sec?
tions are enjoying wholesome activity,
even the south showing evidence of
improvement. Wages were voluntarily
advanced at a number of manufactur?
ing plants, hours reduced at others.
There were few labor controversies
w-hile skilled workmen are in greater
demand than supply.
Conditions in the iron and steel in?
dustry are shown by record-breaknig
production at many plants and rapid
increase of facilities at others. When
orders for rails cannot be taken be?
cause deilvery is desired before the
last quarter of the year, it would seem
that new figures of output were assur?
ed for 1902. Structural mills are
equally well occupied, having con?
tracts for. office buildings, factories,
track elevation, bridges and other con?
structive work.
Textile markets are quiet, although
reports of the jobbing trade are most
favorable except at some southern
points. Cotton mills are busy as a
rule, bat uncertainty as to the future
of the raw material tends to unsettled
prices. Specialties have been put on
the market with a fair degree of suc?
cess. Heavy goods for China are in
better inquiry, although the views of
sellers are still above prices offered.
Home buying of fine yarn goods in?
creases. Print cloths are nominally 3
cents and scarce for near delivery.
Hesitation is general in the markets
for staple products. There is no
longer the rcekless bouyancy so con?
spicuous a short time ago. '.Disaster
to one prominent operator had a calm?
ing influence, and in the case of corn
the insignificant exports cannot well
be entirely ignored.
Cotton is not receiving the support
anticipated, reports of exhausted
stocks on plntations being refuted by
undiminished reciepts.

IA Terribie Mine Disaster at Lost
Creek, Iowa.
Oskaloosa, Ia., Jan. 24. -As the
result of a terrible mine disaster at
Lost Creek this afternoon 21 dead are
in an improvised morgue, and eight
are in a temporary hospital.
The explosion occurred at the noon
hour and is what is known as a "dost"
explosion. The miners had just fired
their usual noon shots, one of which
proved to be a fizzle. The burning
powder ignited the gas and the explo?
sion followed. Smoke and debris
were blown out of the shaft 200 feet
high. Part of the top works was torn
away and the fans and cages -were par?
tially wrecked. This made the work
of rescue very slow and it was 3
o'clock before volunteer parties dared
to venture into the east entrance,
where the explosion occurred. When
they found their way in a horrbile
sight greeted them. The dead and in?
jured were terribly burned and muti?
lated, some of them almost beyond
recognition. Fire which at first was
feared would prove destructive to the
entire mine had broken out and this
added terror to the spectacle. The
flames were finally controlled and
after several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes all the dead
were found and carried to the top of
the shaft. At the time of the explo?
sion more than 100 men were in the
mines, but all of these, except those
in the east entry, escaped with only
siight injury. The total property
damage will be about $10,000.
It was nearly dark tonight when the
last of the dead was taken out, and
the scenes of anguish among the
families of the men were most pitiful.
Nearly all of the men were married
and leave families in poor circum?
stances. The. mine is owned by the
Lost Creek Fuel company of this city
and has been in operation about one
year.
Danish West India Islands Bought.
it is Said That $5,000,000 Was
the Price Paid.
"Washington, Jan. 24.-The treaty of
cession of the Danish West India isl-.
ands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at the state depart?
ment today by Secretary Hay and Con?
stantine Brun, the Danish minister.
The treaty will be submitted to the
senate for ratification immediately.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases, the state department officials
decline to make public any of the
details of the treat}', so that it is not
possible to state positively the price
to be paid, though this is believed to
be in the neighborhod of $5,000,000.
It is also is known that Denmark has
abandoned the position she was in?
clined to occupy toward the conserva?
tion of tho political rights of the isl?
and, and leaves the United States free
hand to deal with them, without
pledge of American citizenship or of
free trade privileges. So it is as?
sumed that the status of the Danish
West India islands, politically and
commercially, should the treaty be
ratified, will be similar to that of
Puerto Rico.
The treaty itself does not contain
any reference to a plebiscite, but the
Danish government has given notice
that before it ratifies the treaty, it
will submit the question of cession to
the people of the islands. *Not mach
objection is expected here from these
people, for the treaty is so framed
that they are not called upon to sur?
render their Danish allegiance and
they may remian Danes in fact and ^in
name while enjoying whatever advan?
tages in a commercial way may result
from a transfer of the islands to the
United States.
Children Especially Liable.
Burns, bruises and cuts are extremely
painful and if neglected often result in
blood poisoning. Children are especially
liable to such mishaps because not so
careful. As a remedy DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is unequalled. Draws out the
fire, stops the pain, soon heals the wound.
Beware of counterfeits. Sure cure for
piles. "DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured
my baby of eczema after two physicians
gave her up," writes James Mock, N
Webster, Ind. ''The sores were so bad she
soiled two to five dresses a day." J S

CAUSTIC GERSTER.
Comment the Singer Made on a Kiss
That Patti Received.
While the rivalry between Patti and
Gerster in San Francisco in 1S34 was
at its height it was made known that
General Crittenden, governor of Mis?
souri, had given Tutti a kiss. There?
upon Mme. Patti was interviewed,
when she spoke as foilows:
"I had just finished singing 'Heme,
Sweet Home,' last Thursday evening
When a nice looking old gentleman,
who introduced himself as Governor
Crittenden, began congratulating me.
All of a sudden he leaned down, put
his arms around me, drew me up to
him and kissed me. He said. 'Mme.
Patti. I may never see you again, but
I cannot help it,' and before I knew it
he was kissing me. When a gentle?
man, and such a nice old gentleman,
too, and a governor of a great state,
kisses one so quick that one has not
time to see and no time to object what
can one do?" . .
The following dialogue on the sub?
ject between Mme. Gerster and a re?
porter who had interviewed her was
afterward published:
Modest Reporter-I suppose. Mme.
Gerster, you have heard about that
kissing affair between Governor Crit?
tenden and Patti?
Mme. Gerster^-I have heard that
Governor Crittenden kissed Patti be?
fore she had time to resist but I don't
see anything in that.to create so much
fuss.
Modest Reporter (interrogatively)
You don't?
Mme. Gerster-Certainly not There
Is nothing wrong in a man kissing a
woman old enough to be bis mother.
Argonaut
A Mediarral Psychologist.
Professor Munsterberg pf Harvard,
whose specialty is psychology, relies
to some extent on the point of a good
story in enforcing his positions in ab?
stract demonstration. He has one on
the association of ideas that will illus?
trate. A mediaeval magician-more ac?
curately called "fakir" nowadays-an?
nounced that he bad invented and had
for sale a magic pot If certain rather
common stones were mired and placed
in the pot with a certain portion of
water, and the whole shaken diligently,
for an hour, the stones would turn to
gold provided that during the hour the
operator should not think of a hippo?
potamus. The fakir sold a great many
.for fabulous sums, and not one of the
purchasers ever demanded a return of
the money. The fakir knew his busi?
ness. He was in advance of his age in
psychology, in his skill in permanently
fixing in his customer's minds the as?
sociation of that old pot and a hippo?
potamus.-Boston Herald.
ITALIAN VIOLINS.
The First "Strad" Sent to London
Conld Find Xo Purchaser.
Italian violins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy, it was
not indeed till the beginning of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their na?
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
(1621-Soi was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu?
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvetto.
who had been a merchant before enter?
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 173S, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari. The
result of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. It is almost beyond
belief. As he could not get as much as
?5 ($2o) for a violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for a bad speculation. Five pounds for
a "Strad." and not a single purchaser
to be found!
This incident in itself furnishes suQ
cient testimony to the slavish following
of the great German maker and tin
strong prejudice cf the violinists o? ]
that period in favor of the high model
It is indeed the players who are mosi
to blame for the slew adoption of the
flat model, for the creator must make '.
what is necessitated by the demand: ;
but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at
any rate in England. France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to bav< 1
been content that their violins shouU' j
possess a small sweet tone, never real
izing the lack of power and sonoritjv *
