Scheming for an engagement ring is a

New York, N. Y., Feb. 21.—Regarding
the contention that the United States
should not build the Nicaragua canal
without erecting expensive fortifications,
Admiral Dewey, in Washington last night,
said: “Fortifications! Why, of course not.
As I understand it the canal is to be, and
should be, a neutralized commercial path-
way between the two oceans. To fortify
it would simply result in making it a
battle ground in case of war. Fortifica-
tions would be enormously expensive and
ought not to be erected. Our fleets will
be a sufficient guarantee of the neutrality
and safety of the canal in time of war as
well as in peace.”

JEFFERSON COMEDY COMPANY.
For years American theater-goers have
associated “Rip Van Winkle” with Joseph
Jefferson, until one thinks and speaks of
the man and the character as one and the
same. Now the public has the opportuni-
ty of seeing and listening- to this old and
thoroughly American stage production in
an entirely new, light. Th© presentation
by the Jeffersgn,, comedy company is of

tional cast. TLeAhree sons of Joseph Jef-

“THE bAR^ETBAGGER.”
Tim Murphy’needs no- introduction to
Galveston theater-goers. Those who saw
him. last season in his- latest success, “The
Carpetbagger,” had the pleasure of wit-
nessing one of the cleanest comedies and
most interesting plays produced in recent
years. The role of Melville Crance, the
auctioneer governor of Mississippi, fits an
unctions actor like Murphy and the sup-
porting company is one of the best on the
road, including, as it does, that sterling
Lapman,

Charlotte Lambert and a number of ex-
ceptionally clever people. Mr. Murphy
will be seen in New York within the next
few months. He hasn’t appeared there

New York,
Straus, United States minister to
key, after conferring with the state de-
partment officials on Monday in Wash-
ington, returned to New York and is now
enjoying the beginn’ng of his three
months’ leave of absence,
night that he had no
ing his office, although there had been
rumors to the effect that he had become
somewhat tired of the duties.
Asked what progress the Turkish gov-
ernment had made with reference to in-
demnifying the American owners of prop-
erty destroyed during the Armenian
troubles, he said:
“Until my arrival there, Turkey had
denied liability for these property dam-
ages, but since then the government’s
liability has been admitted and the sultan
has not only promised to pay, but he has
twice repeated that promise. That he will
have to pay the several claims within a
reasonably short time there is no question,
and I credit him with the intention of ful-
filling his promise. The sum involved is
less than $100,600.”
“Did the .Spanish war and the victory of
Dewey at Manila make us any better
known in Turkey?” Mr. Straus was asked.
“They certainly did do just that thing,
and the oriental world has a far better
appreciation of the power of this country
than it had before. The sultan, however,
has not yet an adequate conception of
the magnitude and resources in peace and
Vvar of the United States. He regards it
as a county too far away to cause him
uneasiness, but as a matter of fact Con-
stantinople is nearer to New York than
Manila is to San Francisco.
“The Germans,” continued Mr. Straus,
“are just beginning the preliminary work
on their great railway concession from
Angora to Bagdad, on the Persian gulf, a
distance of 1200 or 1300 miles. The surveys
are being made and doubtless the road
will be pushed through in good time. This
will result in throwing across a good part
of the Turkish empire a belt of German
commercial influence, and the result will
be an interesting thing to watch. The
route will traverse the old Babylonish
commercial highways. I obtained not
long ago permission for the Robert col-
lege to erect a new building, and on the
day I left my post the sultan sent me
word th'at permission had been granted
for the reconstruction of Euphrates col-
lege, at Harpoot, destroyed during the
Armenian troubles in 1895. This is a con-
gregational institution under the charge
of Rev. Dr. Gates, and probably the new
work will go forward as soon as the snow
is off the ground.”

serious results than to give her husband
an uneasy quarter of an hour while ignor-

York, decided to return home earlier, dis-
missed her cab, and as she had never
traveled on the elevated road decided to
make that experiment. But instead of re-
turning to New York, as she intended,
she found "herself at the outskirts of
Brooklyn at the remotest station on the
elevated road. Her husband had in the
meantime returned to his hotel in New
York and with the expected guests was
anxiously awaiting her. The supper was

Dear Mr. Drew: I am making a collec-

and if you have one of those- lovely boots
you -wore this afternoon to spare, kindly
give it to the messenger boy. Your ad-
mirer, GERTIE.
The answer is interesting:
My Dear Young Lady: I am deeply sen-
sible of the honor you do me by wishing
to add to your collection of “old shoes”
by requesting the gift of a boot. As I
usually need two boots during the per-
formance, and play this evening, you
must pardon me for declining. However,
as the footwear to which you refer costs
only $45, you might have my boot-maker
make up you one. My valet will give you
his address. Very sincerely,
JOHN DREW.
United States Ship Wilmington Cruises
Up the Amazon.
The cruise of the Wilmington 2300 miles
along the Amazon is the subject of a very
readable article in Ainslee’s for February.
“The dreary solitude and monotony of
the interminable stretch of lo-w banks and
the knowledge that back, of these shores
lay hundreds of miles of unexplored, al-
most impenetrable forest, swampy, stag-
nant, fever-breeding and pestilent, gave
the journey up the great river a weird,
mysterious tone.
“Passing craft were few and far be-
tween. Now and then rafts, or ‘bolsas,’ as
they are' locally termed, would be dis:-
cerned near the shore. These ‘bolsas” are
peculiar to the Amazon, and are- in com-
mon use. Their construction is simple
enough. A number of buoyant logs are
lashed together with vines, and upon this
platform is erected a small bamboo- house,
with thatched roof. ^Several families
equipped with provisions will em.ba.ik upon
one of these, queer craft, and drift with
the current until a desirable place for set-
tling is reached.
‘.‘As the- Wilmington progressed it was
noticed that the character of the vegeta-
tion changed somewhat. The forests grew
more dense, and the luxuriant hues of th©
tropics were pronounced. During the day
the heat was oppressive. There was a
moist, humid to-uch to the atmosphere,
and an ever-present odor
plants assailed the nostrils.
of decaying
Late in the
afternoon, however, cooling rains invari-
ably set in, rendering the night compara-
tively pleasant.
“About 500 miles from Para, at the junc-
tion of the Tapa.jos river with the Ama-
zon, a town was- reached which proved
extremely interesting to the gunboat’s
crew. Its name, Santarem gave no evi-
dence of the fact that it was originally
colonized by Americans. That was la 1864L ,
and the passing of 33 years hsu» reeaaved ’
all traces of the Yankee settlers. It did
not require this result of an attempt at
Anglo-Saxon colonization to- prove to the
Wilmington’s people that the tropics form
no favorable home for their race. Despite
the gorgeous panoramas of flaunting col-
ors in forest and sky, the evidences of na-
ture’s most lavish hand in flowers and
fruits and mineral wealth, and a climate
eloquent of perpetual rest and do-lce far
niente, not a. solitary officer or ‘jockie’
of the gunboat would have even harbored
an inclination to exchange his home land
for this.
“At Santarem. were seen several typical
Amazon river steamers. They were of
various sizes, and looked not unlike the'
craft familiar to- the Mississippi. The
more pretentious were so constructed as
to furnish two decks open at the sides,
the upper devoted to- first-class passen-
gers and the lower restricted to those
traveling second class. As cattle, mules
and freight are also- carried <_ .1 the latter
deck, it can easily be understood that this
location is not entirely desirable,
are no standing beds on board,
mocks being invariably used,
steamers ply to all parts of the great net-
work of rivers forming the Amazon sys-
tem, and are utilized in transporting rub-
ber.”
