An Interview With Ex-Secretary Thompson
Uis Position JUeUuert and Ilia
Views oil the .Subject.
Ex-Secretary Thompson en the bubject
of his connection with the intereceanic
canal project of De Lesseps, remarked that
it was entirely erroneous te suppose that
lie was invited te cuter the scheme be
cause of any political influence his name
mitrlit exeit, and he says he would net
have accepted it with any such under
standing or anticipation. lie desires te
cericct the idea, that his is the " Ameri
can branch" of the DeLesseps scheme.
His relation te the canal company is, he
says, the same as the president of a rail
road. The fact that this country, the
greatest producing country in the world,
will be the largest customer of the canal
gives the American beard its supremacy
in the scheme. He says that before ac
cepting the eiler made te him he stipulat
ed that sufficient stock be subscribed te
insure the success of the scheme, and
that the French gevemmeut should
have no official agency, direct or
indirect, in the piejcct, and should
indicate no purpose te acquire power
in the isthmus. lie says he thor
oughly satisfied himself en these points.
He found in the charter granted the Inter
national Iuteroeeanic association by the
United States of Columbia, and under
which eliaitcr DeLesseps is operating,
tljat the company is absolutely prohibited
from ceding or mortgaging any of the
rights conferred upon it, under any con
sideration whatever, te any foreign gov
ernment. If this prohibition is violated
the rights conferred by the charter are
forfeited, and jurisdiction is given te the
supreme com t of Columbia te declare the
charter void. All the subscriptions in
France were simply by private citizens.
The organization in France was perfected
en Saturday last. Mr. Thompson said :
" The cntcrpiise is one of a business char
acter entirely ; there is no danger of po
litical complications growing out of it ;
the Menree doctrine hasoie reference te it
whatever. That doctrine was simply a
picsidential assertion of the sentiment
that the monarchical powers of Europe
should net be permitted te destroy the in
dependent Spanish-American states ; that
the American people were unwilling te
see the right of self-government destroyed
anywhere ou the American continent aud
would resist the attempt te de se when
ever ic was made. Beyond that there was
nothing in the policy of the United States
government whicli-Ioeks te anything else
than the neutrality of the intereceanic canal
or railway across an isthmus, a canal which
shall net be under the control of any par
ticular government, but shall be open
en equal terms te all governments, and
held for the common use of all nations.
JJy our treaty with New Grenada, new
Columbia, we bound eui selves te maintain
that neutrality, aud te guarantee the sev
ereignty of Columbia ever her own terri
tory. Seme years since, when Spain at
tempted te transport troops and munitions
of war across the Isthmus of Panama
against the consent of the Columbian gov
ernment, the United States was called
upon te enforce the guarantee, and al
though the occasion did net call for inter
ference, we decided that it was our duty
te respond te the appeal. New, if France
or any ether government should attempt
by any means, direct or indirect, te acquire
territorial jurisdiction or assert the right
of control ever the Isthmus of Panama, or
any canal or railroad across it, it would be
the duty of the United States te interfere
te prevent it, and I should be one
of the first te advocate and maintain
that right of interference. Se that
the position I occupy 1 leel it my
te make their own laws, dispose of their
own property, and enjoy all the privileges
of independencies which the Menree doc
trine was designed te secure te them. Eu
ropean stockholders, who held the major
ity of the stock, would be protected in their
right of control, when net violating the
laws of either of the states named. De
Lcsseps's theory is that the Nicaragua
canal cau only be constructed in such
manner, en account of the locks that will
be required, as will involve tee creat delav
for commercial vessels, and that the larg
est class of vessels new chiefly employed
in commerce could net pass through en ac
count of the shortucssef the curves, whereas
the canal at Panama would present no
such obstructions, either as regards curves
or locks. But he says he is net opposed
te the Nicaragua canal, and is quite will
ing that it should be built by the govern
ment of the United States, because he
thinks the mere routes of travel the bet
ter for commerce." In conclusion Mr.
Thompson said he thought the govern
ment should net interfere in a private
business enterprise. All that the branch
of which he has taken the presidency is te
de is te see that the money paid in is prop
erly expended. He thinks it will be a
great source of profit te American manu
facturers, as all the vast machinery re
quired he expects te be procured in Ameri
can markets. He believes the subscrip
tions are all bona fide. He expressed
great confidence that the Panama canal
would be built, and that the work would
begin very seen.
wrong. A glance showed that the ice was
breaking up in all directions. In doing
their work, the men had moved the leg,
and an opening being made the rapid car
rent seen finished the job. Though taken
by surprise, the three adventurers did net
lese tneir presence or mind. Hastily pick
ing up some loose beards which they had
cut from the sign, they started en the float
ing ice for the shore. By a skilful use of
tne Dearas as paddles, and a hard straggle
they reached the shore in safety. They
were the subjects of heartv cengratula
tiens. Mr. Cranz said he would net at
tempt the feat again for the best thousand-
dollar bill in the land.

Ill
duty te see that netluu" shall be done te
bring about such result. France, indeed,
has repudiated any purpose te acquire
possession of the isthmus." In regard te
the practicability of a canal at Panama,
Mr. Thompson said that, net being an en
gineer, his opinion was of little conse
quence, and he "must act upon the
opinion of otliets. In 1870 a convention
of scientific business men from all parts
of the world assembled in Paris. Amencr
them were three officers of the United
States navy, one of whom had very ex
tensively explored the isthmus route.
The question immediately before that con
vention was the choice between the Nica
ragua and Panama routes. After full dis
cussion aud a thorough examination into
the merits of both routes it was decided
I think by a vote of 78 te 8, a few net
voting that a canal upon a sea-level was
the most feasible if net the only practica
ble mode of answering the ends desired,
and tha'. a sea-level canal could be con
stituted at Panama, whereas a canal
could net be constructed at Nicaragua
without locks. The company at the head
of which is DeLesseps sent another corps
of scientific engineers te Panama
te examiue the line, and they unanimously
reported that it was practicable te build a !
canal at Panama. The facts were then
laid before the world, and the necessary
amount of money has been subscribed by
the capitalists of Europe and the United
States. The only question that new arises
is whether the political interests of the
government of the United States over
shadow the commercial interests involved
te such an extent as would justify the gov
ernment in attempting te direct the en
terprise. If the government should think
proper t de se, then all American citizens
will be in duty bound te maintain the
policy which it shall prescribe. Until then
every American citizen is at liberty te de
cide for himself whether the commercial
interests involved in such a canal are net
of sufficient importance te justify its con
struction with money obtained anywhere
in the world. Our railroads have been
built mostly with European capital, and
many of them are under European
control. The Panama railroad is in a
great measure under European control,
and it is alleged that the Royal mail
steamship company, through its control of
the Panama railroad, discriminates in its
own favor and against the Pacific mail
steamship company which is owned in the
United States. It does net seem te me,
therefore, that we in this country should
have any special dread of European capi
tal, especially when it is remembered that
by aid of it we were enabled te put down
the rebellion and mostly te build up our
own magnificent system of railroads. Ne
canal company could be organized upon
the isthmus without looking te foreign
capitalists, as well-as these of the United
States, for money. And no matter who
organized such a company in the United
States, if the majority of its stock should
be subscribed in Europe, Europeans would
control the operations of the company
upon the Isthmus. The same would be
the case with an American company or
ganized for a canal at Nicaragua. All
they could de here would be te raise stock
and collect money se as te be in condition
te enjoy their franchise in Nicaragua.
When cither of them reach the
isthmus with their capital they are
subject te the local laws of Nicaragua
and Columbia, which arc both independent
states having the right te sell-government,
Nevels, and the Bosten Public Library.
International Review, February, 1351.
Nevels and stories arc net only cheap te
buy, but it is an important consideration
hew far the public libraries are responsi
ble for their circulation. In discussing
this point I propose te examine the sub
ject in relation te a single institution,
which may very properly statu as a type
for all, the Bosten public library ; which I
select, net only because it is the largest and
most widely known library in the land,
upon the model of which ethers have been
in great measure formed, but also because
I have had for some veurs an intimate
personal acquaintance with it. This
library was originally founded te seive a
special aim, "te aid and encourage,"
says Edward Everett, one of the first trus
tees, " the acquisition of the knowledge
required te complete a preparation for ac
tive life or te perform its duties." The
principle early laid down in legard te light
literature was this :
"That it was net the desimi of the ju
dicious and public-spirited citizens, who as
members of the city council in years past,
or at the present time, have liberally ap
propriated the public funds te the founda
tion and support of the library, te have it
beceme the means of gratituiteusly sup
plying te a class of idle readers the un
profitable, net te say pernicious, trash
which is daily pouting from the press. "
Te what extent, then, has this library,
originally administered en such principles,
been a purchaser and circulator of this
kind of literature? Prem the tables an
nexed te the annual reports of the trus
tees I find that out of 14,950 books bought
during the past five years for the lower
hall the popular department of the Cen
tral library 10,417, or 70 per cent,
were story books, technically called
"fiction" and "juveniles." This, how
ever, by no means represents the whole
amount purchased, since it includes only
these stories published in book-form and
notthese printed in periodicals and maga
zines, of which great numbers arc taken.
If the books for the eight branches were
purchased in the same proportion, as is
probable, though the reports give no in
formation en this point, then the library
has during this period been a purchaser of
about 40,000 story-books. Jlnnng thir
teen years, out of a total.ef 101.021 vel
umes bought ter the lower hall and
branches, nearly 70,000 were stories pub
lished in book-form. It should be added
that a very considerable number of novels,
principally in French, have been placed in
the Bates hall, which are net included in
the above figures. After deducting the
large number of volumes which have been
used up or lest in the service, there re
mained en the shelves en May 1, 1880,
probably ever 50,000 volumes of novels and
story-books ; arid this number increases
from year te year, se far as I can deter
mine, in proportion of one third of all the
books purchased.
The next question is, te what extent nic
these books read ? In determining this we
are net obliged te have recourse te propor
tional estimates ; for the averages are clear
ly stated in the appendices te the reports.
Dining the past live years there have been
ciiculated from the lower hall and branches
4,872.595 volumes. Of these 11,824,938
were "juveniles" and "fiction." Te this
number should be added, as before, the
steiies contained in the magazines and
periodicals, and the very considerable
number of novels net classified under " fic
tion." If the proper corrections wcie
made, I believe it would be found that
four millions, or four fifths of its popular
circulation, was under rather than ever the
number of volumes of novels and story
books circulated by this library alone in
five years. It should be remembered that
even this docs net represent the whole
number of readers, as each book may be,
and often is, read by mere than one in the
same family or house. This is the work
of one library only, and one which from
the beginning has sought the public cenn
dence and support en the ground that the
circulation of light literature was net te
be its principal work. What the ether
public libraries, scattered ever the United
States te the number of five thousand at
least (there are about three hundred in
Massashusetts alone), have done and are
deinsr, it would be difficult te say with
any degree of exactness.

Daring Feat at Niagara.
Three Hallway Men Fat a Sign en a Leg in
the Middle of the Kaplda.
A dispatch from Buffalo says : Yester
day afternoon a daring act was accom
plished at Niagara falls. During the last
few days P. S. Cranz, D. Maleney and 6.
Whitman, of the Erie railway, have been
bantering each ether into various deeds of
daring. Yesterday afternoon the three
men decided te attempt a feat well-nigh
foolhardy. It was no less titan te place a
sign en an old leg in the middle of the
river, 40 reds above Geat Island bridge.
The leg lies in the centre of the rapids.
and has been there for the Lust four years.
lsuring mat tunc no enenas ever ucen
within reachiug distance of it. The men
conceived the brilliant idea of placing a
large beard sign en the leg, advertising
the railroad in whose employ they
are. About two o'clock they set out
en the ice. After much effort they
reached their destination. Here a
sign 4 feet by 12 was securely spiked te
the leg, advising readers te "Ge East
via Erie Railway." While the men were
busily engaged in their perilous task,
crowds of people began te gather ou all
available points te watch their pregres
Many speculations were indulged in as te
whether the men would be able te get
back by the dangerous route already trav
ersed. After two hours of labor, when
the work was completed, shouts from the
spectators announced that something was
Which uebgbted the Native Virginias.
"Once, during the days of my early
stiugglcs in the profession," said Edwin
Beeth, "and while we were barn storm

which the peer player was then put in
order te get along. We were playing
'showing' they called it then one night
at a little plac named Lee's Landing, and
the tobacco warehouse we had improvised
into a theatre was crowded by the planters
for miles around. We had arranged te
take the weekly steamer which they ex
pected would touch there late that night,
and between the acts were all bnsy pack
ing up. The play was The Merchant of
Venice,' and we were just going en for
the court scene, where the Jew insists en
his pound of flesh, when we heard a whis
tle blew, and the manager came running
in te say that the steamer had arrived
ahead of time and would leave again in
ten minutes.
" As that was our euly chance of getting
uewn te tne Chesapeake, we were natur
ally in a terrible quaudary. 'If we step
right here and explain,' said the manager,
'the audience will think they are being
cheated, and go in for a free tight. The
only thing wc can de is for you fellows te
get up seme sort of a natural-like, im
promptu ending for the piece and ring

and gentlemen, and take your cne from
Ned here,' and he hurried away te get the
luggage en beard.
" If it had been in any ether quaitur of

se wnen eia ueerge ituggles, who was

" ' Yeu ;ue bound te have the flesh, are

" Yeu bet your life,' said Geerge, un
der the impression that he was improvis
ing very skilfully indeed. -
" 'New, I'll make you one mere dicker.'
I continued. 'In addition te this bairef
