All Mexico Is rejoicing over th

lonal Railway across the Isthmus,
ftd the announcement that the har
pr terminals are to be finished for
fee big steamships of the Pacific and
ktlantlc lines carrying Hawaiian
gar from Honolulu with returned
argoes of American merchandise.
The Mexicans are rejoicing be
aase President Dlas has accom
Ps)hd this great enterprise, giving
tosloo and the world a line across
M Isthmus, which will derelop an
aormous business In commerce and
cafflc pending the completion of the
tstmi Canal. So that by the time
America's stupendous enterprise shall
are been opened to the world lsth
m routes will become popular and
he great gulf streams of business
vtll tend that way from all parts of

Dfaz, like his friend and prede
aaor Juarez, Is a half-breed. Doth
aan were nnable to speak the Span
& language, both arose from sheep
Denting to become lawyers, Judges,
tureralt), patriots and statesmen,
Od both solved the problem of self
jmrnment in Mexico.
He will be remembered as the man
tho achieved the Impossible built a
mumI through the mountains, drain
&C the city of Mexico of its pestilen
tel waters and reducing the death
at from seventy-two per thousand
something like a civilized record.
Jhder bis wise rule two hundred
aOHons of American capital have
Man Invested in Mexico.
It is surprising how many at
Mnpta have been made to construct
tioanal or a railroad across the lsth
eraa of Tehuantepec. In 1898 the
jorernmont entered Into a partner
Up contract with Pearson & Sons, of
London, and the name "National
tsdlroad Company of Tehuantepec"
na given to the company. With a
working capital of $5,000,000 work
as begun In earnest, employing the
mmt up to date machinery and meth
itU. Rapid progress was made and
eently the railway was completed.
The great problem was to secure
wrmanent depth of harbor on the
jolf side of the Isthmus, where the
Joatzacoalcos River enters the ocean,
twas found that after dredging out
He harbor to the depth of thirty feet
a few tropical storms filled the basin
1th silt and alluvial deposit washed
town from mountains, reducing the
iapth to only twelve feet.
Then It was decided to follow the
teds system, so successful at New
Jrleana, and build Jetties, all of
fhlch would cost millions of dollars.
Jut the work has been pushed and
ofU soon be completed and ready
rr large ships of deep draught with
1m thirty to thirty-two feet of wa
ar on the bar. The railroad terml
itUa of ContzacoalcoB are a mile
tog, with three tracks stretching up
ttd down the water front. About
ftrty millions In gold has been spent
A terminals alone.
On the Pacific side of the isthmus
h depth of water is unlimited.
Sure Is no natural harbor, simply a
aurvature of the coast At the town of
fcHna Cruz, near the old city of Te
Mantepec. To protect the harbor
lorn the tremendous ocean storms
hat beat against the unprotected
teres, Immense breakwaters of
tone and masonry have been built
t the cost of millions, but the work
IM been so well done and con
tracted on true scientific lines that
lipping will be amply protected, and
M largost vessels enabled to load
fid unload cargoes In severest
Mather.
The latest news in regard to the
Bterprise is that the American-Ha-xallan
Steamship Company has
dosed a contract with the railroad
xwnpany through Pearson & Hons
tr the transportation of all the busi
mss of the steamship company be
.ween Atlantic and Pacific ports over
Jm railroad.
Here is what Sir Weetman Pear
son said of the Tehuantepec Railway
his return to England recently
when Interviewed by the Loudon
Chronicle:
"We hope that trade by the Te
huantepec route will commence in
July of next year. The railway Is
completed, aud the harbor works
re puBhoc forward. Wo Khull Inaug
urate a steamship connection in July
by arrangement with a powerful
dteamshlp company, which will run
eleven boats, averaging ton thousand
tons. The bouts on tho Atlantic side
will be run from Coatzanoalcou to
New York, and on tho l'acitlc from
3allna Cruz to San Francisco, calling
at the Hawaiian Islands.
"This Is going to t one of the
great routes of tho world. It will
divert tralllo that now goes around
Cape Horn and by the Suez Canal.
It will compote, too, with the Ameri
can transcontinental railways, for we
shall bo ablo to convey goods from
the Pacific to tho Atlantic coust of
the Unitod States in twenty days,
which Is less time than that occupied
by the express freight trains of some
railways." New York Times.

MARCHES OP FAMOl'8 MORS.
In Europe Fearful Slaughter At
tended These I prlslngn.
The march of a mob to lay Its un
bearable wrongs before the ruler has
occurred several times in history, as
In the case of the march on the win
ter palace at St. Petersburg, empha
sizing the condition of the Russian
worklngmen, "dumb driven cattle."
In connection with this portentous
event an apparent parallel most
readily recalled is that of the march
of tho French mob on the palace of
the King at Versailles. The results
were different. At St. Petersburg the
swift volleys of the troops brought
the mob Into the subjection of com
plete terror. In France the King lis
tened and returned to Paris, to his
faithful subjects, who later hooted
him and his Queen as they went to
death. The French King's weakness,
say some, destroyed him. "Coward!"
Is the comment on the Czar's action
In turning his Cossacks and artillery
loose on the mob that sought only its
"Little Father." Perhaps some kind
of proper Judgment on the action oM
those two rulers can be obtained by
recalling that of a third king, Rich
ard II. of England, and the famous
Wat Tyler. The agitator, Just as
Father Qopon did, led a horde to
London to lay their grievances be
fore the King. And strangely enough
the number was 100,000 persons.
Their aim was to get possession of
the King and pass laws for' the good
of the realm. With the peculiar level
headedness of the Anglo-Saxon race,
so-called, this King met his subjects
accompanied only by the Lord
Mayor, Sir William Walworth, and a
few attendants. He was only a boy,
this King, but a fearless one. "I am
your King and Lord," he said. "What
will you?" "We will that you free us
forever," they replied; "us and our
lands." He listened to the com
plaints and then said to them kindly
enough, "Go back to your homes;
your King will redress your wrongs."
Later on the King met Tyler, and the
latter, making a threatening motion,
excited a fear In the Lord Mayor,
and was promptly struck down by
Walworth's mace and killed. It Is
hardly necessary to add that the
wrongs complained of were after
all never redressed until by the slow
growth of constitutional liberty the
English people "found" themselves.
Seven thousand men are said to have
perished in this peasants' revolt.
Not only, however, in autocratic
countries have Buch marches been
witnessed. It is not so many years
ago that this country saw Coxey's
march on Washington. Laughable as
this effort was, It was a sign of the
times no less Important in Us period
perhaps than that of Tyler's march,
or the French mob's, or that of the
Russian workmen. It was the ex
pression of a great discontent. But
the times had changed. Coxey's band
was laughed out of existence by a
peoplo whoso laws are lenient.
The French peasants in the thlr
teeth century banded themselves to
gether under the name of "Jacques
Bonhomme" (Good Man Jacob) and
demanded redress of their vacillating
king from the destitution and pov
erty which had been wrought to the
whole countryside by the prolonged
Anglo-French wa. . Falling In reach
ing the monarch's ear, the peasants
broke up Into bands whose vowed
purpose was to murder and'ob the
rich. They were hunted down and
slaughtered In thousands by the
king's soldiery and by the men-of-arms
of various feudal lords.
Mirabeau (of the French revolu
tion), Wat Tyler, Peter the Hermit,
Father Gopon, even Coxey, are of the
same type. They are men of the peo
ple; In their own persons the human
concentrated expression of great
wrongs. The proper answer to their
demands is not guns, but justice.

Cost of King Edward's Coronation.
The coat of the coronation of King
Edward VII., details of whloh wore
recently published, establishes a rec
ord for modern times. It was consid
ered, until recently, a lordly and
magnificent thing for the subject of
George IV. to epend 238,238 in put
ting a crown on his head, but we have
eclipsed their lavlshness by 121,000.
William IV. and Quenn Adelaide were
content with a modest 50,000.- It
la not easy, aya the London Chron
icle, to understand In what King Ed
ward's 359,000 was sunk, not so
earv, at least, as In the case of
George IV. a sumptuous record of
wl.ose coronation proved too costly to
fln.jh. The part which did appear
contained seventy-three colored draw
ings, "finished like enamels, on val
ve and white satin." Each portrait
cost fifty guineas. A different spirit
animated Earl Grey, when defending
the ministry from a charge of unseem
ly mutilations in regard to King Will
iam's coronation. "It was the hope of
the king and the ministers," he aiid,
"to prevent a heavy burden from fall
ing on the people."
Giving Medicine to a Sick Tiger.
In a certain zoo Is a very beautiful
tiger, said to be the largest one in
oapitivity. But if he would only
move about as If he felt at home, and
not be so dignified, we should be bet
ter pleased with him; yet the poor
creatwe Is excusable, because he has
dyspepsia, and his Bufferings make
him cross.
One day the keeper decided to ad
minister a dose of medicine, so wtith
the bottle and a whip he climbed to
the top of the cage. Was that tiger
cross? You would have thought so
If you had seen him throw back his
great head and snay at the whip. The
keeper, after enraging him, poured a
Utile medicine down the lash, which
ho gradually withdrew, until In Its
placo there was a tilny medicinal
stream, at which the tiger kept biting
and snapping, too much surprised, It
seemed, to distinguish between whip
and liquid. When he turned away his
head the medicine was poured over
his paws, and when he had licked
them clean that day's treatment was
completed. St. Nicholas.
Turpentine Production.
Down in Georgia they have hit
upon a brand new and most success
ful scheme of turpentine production,
The plan, wh'ich is in successful open
atlon in three mills tihat I lately vis
ited down there, does ont depend on
the tapping of pine trees as by the
ordinary way, but utlKzos old etumps,
slabs, sawdust, and any old odds and
ends of pine refuse. The turpentine
is extracted by a steaming process,
and from twelve to twenty gallons can
be had for each ton of material. As
the material costs next to nothing,
and as turpentine Is worth 54 cents a
gallons, It can be seen at a glance that
there is money in this kind of manu
facturing. In the opinion of experts,
the quality of the turpentine made in
this way is of the very best. Wash

Low Temperature and Life.
A remarkable suggestion, bearing
upon the survival or organic life at
extremely low temperatures, was
made In e paper by Prof. Travers of
University College, Bristol, read re
cently before the Royal Society in
London. He said It was quite possi
ble that If living organisms were cool
ed only to temperatures at whloh phy
sical changes, such ns crystallization,
take placo with measurable velocity,
the process would bo fatal, whereas If
they once were cooled to the tempera
ture of liquid air no such change'
could take place In finite time, and
the organism would survive. Ex

The stuffed horse of Napoleon I.,
formerly preserved In the Imporlal
Museum, but long since lost sight of,
has been found hidden away In the
national storerooms. The coat is

Cost of the War-
The frightful waste of war is
strikingly portrayed in a newly
cpmpiled estimate of the outlay re
quired to keep the contending Jap
and Russian fighting forces in the
field.
It is just 551 days since the con
flict began with the Japanese naval
attack at Port Arthur. The direct
cost to each nation, according to
official estimates, has beeti about
$1,000,000 a day.
That would make the whole cost
of the war ur to date- 551 days
something like $1,102,000,000.
The annual interest on this vast
sum at 5 per cent, is $55,100,000.
According to the most reliable
figures obtainable Russia has now
621,000 soldiers in the Far Fast,
while Japan's forces in the field
aggregate 600,000 men.
The two contending armies, num
bering 1,221,000 men, are eating

Child Labor Law Troubles
School Teacher Rotuse to Issue Employ
ment Certificates
A Harrisburg dispatch says; The
State Factory Inspection depart
ment is seriously hampered in its
efforts to enforce the new law to
abolish child labor in the factories
aud workshops of Pennsylvania by
the refusal of superintendents and
principals of public schools to issue
employment certificates to children
between 14 aud 16 years old, be
cause the law makes no provision
to compensate them for this extra
work.
Chief Factory Inspector John C.
Delaney said Monday:
"It is my judgement that when
the teachers return to their duties
after the summer vacation they
will have enough to do without
issuing these certificates, and that
the great majority of them will re
fuse to take up this work."
"What remedy do you suggest
to overcome this defect in the law?"
"There is none that can be ap
plied at present, or until the Legis
lature makes the necessary provi
sion to compensate school superin
tendents and teachers for this extra
work."
, Ooal For Generations
Practical mining men don't talk
very much about the question of
the exhaustion of the anthracite
beds, which frequently occupies
attention in the news papers and
magazines.
They realize full well that several
generations to come will have noth
ing to worry over so far as their
supplies of hard coal are concerned.
There are any number of collieries
that have been in operation for 25
years or so that are undergoing ex
tension and development at the
present time. At first thought it
might seem that these collieries
are nearly worked out, but this is
far from true. Never before in
the history of the business was so
much money invested in coal min
ing, and never before was the search
for better methods of mining more
vigorously pushed.
