TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1905 10 ONE CANAL MUST BE BUILT John Jenkini Bayi Intflroceanio Waterwgy x it Commercial Necessity. FAVORS NICARAGUA OVER PANAMA V Objection Rasee oa Liability ( Earth. tlic Knocke tiiwf rrl by Point. Ins to Dffp MIki and Ar tealaa Well Alone Ronte. Hon. John Jenkins. United States consul general to Fan Salvador, who has within the week returned' from Central America, Is very much Interested In the fate ot the Isthmian canal question pending In con gress. He expresses a decided preference for the Nicaragua route and answers the objections recently advanced against It, based on the volcanic character ot con tiguous territory. "I do not know the position of the canal f Nicaragua or that of Panama In con gress." sold Mr. Jenkins, "as I have been mora than a month away from where I could get news in relation to the merits of either. I hate always been In favor ot the Nicaragua canal, and it seemed to me at one time aa though that rout was to be elected aa the right one. Much has been aid about the merits of either route. That greater expense would be incurred In building the Nicaraguan route needs no explanation. It is a fact; it would be more expensive than the building ot the Panama canal, according to the figures for which the French commissioners offered to sell their vetted rights In that route. "It Is claimed for that route a short dis tance, as compared with that of Nicaragua. X believe that position Is true. It must not be overlooked, however, that certain ad vantages of the Nicaragua canal route offer which cannot be found In the Panama, namely that of seagoing ships with a foul bottom, which will have a greater oppor tunity ot being thoroughly cleansed by passing Into the fresh waters of the lakes of Nicaragua. To the mariner and the man experienced in steamship building that ad vantage Is a great one, risking a difference In speed ot one or two knots, and, perhaps more, per hour at the same cost of fuel. leeatloa of Earthqnakee. "I have lately observed that since it has become known that there have been seismic troubles In the Caribbean sea and the north part of Ouatamala, ranging from Nicaragua up to Mexico, that this Is advanced as a reason why the canal should not be built In Nicaragua, as It would be subject ' to these upheavals and in one minute destroy the whole canal. To the person who has lived In those countries for many years and has taken the pains to Inform himself, that objection would carry no weight. From Inquiries made, as well aa from ob servations taken by myself, I know that In the mines of San Salvador those earth quakes never have any effect beyond a hake, do not destroy the work, nor Impair It in the leut. Even artesian wells that have been sunk to a great depth have never been disturbed by the earthquake, showing that an earthquake has greater effect on the surface of the earth than on the in terior. The workings of an earthquake are veil represented by the dlstu ,nces at ea by winds, which send the waves very high. The waves do not disturb the water below to any great depth, nor is. the effect of the earthquake felt at any great depth below the surface. "It the advocates of the Nicaragua canal were as determined and persistent aa the promotera of the Panama canal in having bo canal unlesa it is built In Panama, they Would not offer that as an objection. They would very properly, it that was their mode ot pursuing the advocacy of their canal, point out to the. great cut known as the Cut ot Culvera, or better known under its old name of Golgona, where a shake would cause the two sides of that hill to come down and close up. Canal la a Necessity. "As an advocate of a canal, in the Inter est of commerce, I would rather see a canal built In Panama than to have none. It la necessity tor the development ot the American commerce that it be had. With all the objections that bave been offered against the Nicaragua canal there Is one reason In favor of it that muat not be lost lght of in the Interest ot true economy. We have a large navy, and If the canal of Panama is built with the acquired Inter ests which the United States will command, It will demand an additional force to guard the coast Una ot 1,600 miles more, as Nicaragua 1 about that distance further north than the Ithsmus. While the cost ot that canal may be greater, and while It will be longer than the route of Panama, a great deal ot time would be saved by ships having business between San Francisco and he Atlantic coast, whloh saving would redound as against the first and original cost ot tns canal. "There la, perhaps, another reason that nay be advanced and that Is that I deem It to be the mission of the United States to foster Its higher civilisation upon this continent. I know the task to be S great one, but If we take It by piecemeal, we (Will accomplish it In due time and stay (In the limits, as It were with Nicaragua to begin with. It will be much eaaler to take the rest In due time. "In conversation with the most advanced In mania ire only when there la of health aa well a affection.

On that day also the authority of regent, which has been eierclsed by his mother. Queen Maris Christina, since his birth, will cease. It Is not unusual for a monarchs to assume tba duties and per pleiltles of royal station at the age ot 1. History records several precedents. Louis VIX of France ascended the throne at 19. Louis IX was 5 years younger. Louis XIII was proclaimed at the age of 9. England has hsd ten kings and queens ranging in age from 20 yeara (Edward IV) to 8 (Henry VI. James I began to rule at 1J. The crown fell to Victoria at 1. Alfonso's own grandmother, Isabella II, began to reign at 13. , Contrary to the public Idea, says the New Tork Tribune. Alphonso XIII 1 not to be crowned. In fact there has never been a coronation In Spain, for this ia a custom foreign to the Institutions of the. country. The only official act stamping him aa the actual king of the realm will be the taking of the oath of allegiance to the constitution. Alpbooso XIII has been king In name all his life, for the reason that bis father, Al phonso XII, died on November 26 ot the year prior to the birth of his son. The ceremony will be celebrated in Madrid In the Chamber of Deputies. In the presence of the court, the ministry, the higher functionaries of the government, the senators, the deputies and a long train of other officials. On his arrival the king will be received at the foot of the stairway by the president of the cusmber, who will con duct him to a raised platform in the as sembly room, upon which a throne and altar will have been erected. Bowing to the sen ators and deputies standing at the foot of the throne and to the tribune occupied by Passing of To those who are on the ground the "passing of the frontier" la an ancient theme, but it lingers aa a live subject In the east. Thus the New Tork Independent discusses the topic; editorially: From the southwest portion of the Mis sissippi valley Is reported an era of rail road building that Is rspldly developing the only part of the prairie west remaining unsettled, and, in a sense, undiscovered. The great cattle ranches of the Texas Psn handle and of the far reaches to the north are being crossed in several directions by new lines of railway and the farmer Is fol lowing the locomotive into the more prom ising areas of the newly opened section. In Oklahoma alone, where a decade ago only 400 miles of road were operated, there are now 1,436 miles, most of the addition having been built In the last three yesrs, and 800 miles more are under construction. Two lines have recently been built acroas the southwest, connecting the states to the north with the Mexican border. Other lines are projected from the heart of the cattle lands to the Gulf, and branches are being built wherever an remains. Nowhere in the United States is mere so rapid an extension of steel rails. Such frontier as there hss been In the last two decades was In lha ni,ih.,t There the ranch owners remained monarchs or the grazing lands and barbed wire fences forbade the entrance of th man wltk a plow. Ranches that hod the extent ot some eastern commonwealths monopolised the land and the coming of the small farmer was postponed as long as possible. The recent action of the Texas legislature In limiting the amount of school land to be used by one person to four sections, and the federal government's order, now being enforced, compelling the removal ot fences from the public domain, bave done much to bring about an opportunity for the Im migrant. He has taken advantage of It and is making much progress in the trans formation of the southwest and the obliter Tributes to Why not make floral tributes to the re public' sailor dead a permanent feature of Memorial day throughout the country T Thus to honor the naval heroes, whose un marked graves are In the deep, elaborate preparations are being made along the en tire coast of California. The ceremony consists largely In strew ing flowers upon the ocean, which is thus mad literally to blossom as the rose. The unique and beautiful Idea originated with Mrs. Araoltage 8. C. Forbes of Lo Angeles, Cal., to whom -th inspiration com in a curious manner. Being among- other things a newspaper woman, Mrs. Forbes was anx ious to provide her paper with an original Memorial day story. While pondering over It one morning she sang a favorite song as she went about the room, "Cast Thy Bread Upon the Waters." In her preoccupation she substituted, unconsciously, "flowers" for "bresd." "Cast Thy Flowers Vpon th Waters," she caroled and suddenly stopped. Why not cast flowers upon the waters which covered the sailors' last rest ing place and thus Inaugurate a custom which should become a part ot the Me morial day observances T Being a patriotic; woman, Mrs. Forbes saw la this another means of teaching patriotism to the young, snd she therefore at once determined to Interest the school children In the matter. Their response through school superintendents was most enthusi astic As a result of this, en Memorial day, a month after the Idea was born, beautiful ceremonies in honor of lbs sailor desd took place In th Pacific coast towns near Los Angeles. To Ssnta Monica this year belongs the distinction of having Mrs. Forbes In charge of the ceremonies. Long Beach and other places along the coast have been eager to get her, but shs gives the preference to Santa Monica, because Its nearness to the Boldlere' home enables ths naval veterans there to join her at the beach and do their part in honoring old comrades; besides, Mrs. Forbes iraturally likes to be among ths veterans who bsve niade, her an honorary member ot their association. These jolly old tars are as busy as bess at the home Just now rigging a miniature natives of those republics, they are hoping that the day la not fsr distant when these republics of Central America will ask te be uader the protectorate of the United States, thereby Insuring a more satisfac tory state of government than has marked their past experience." CX)HITBIJL1JTTES. "Mirrlad women should not be allowed out of thoir own homes after 10 o'clock at night. We need a apodal lay to keep them at home. As long as I sm Judge of this court I shall make a snorlal endeavor to bring about such a condition of aflalrs. Married women can take warning and tbay had better not com into this court to air the trouble wtiwh befell tluwq the diplomatic corps the young man will then take the oath of allegiance. The whole ceremony wUl not take more than fifteen minutes. Going and coming from the Chamber of Deputies, the king, his mother and the royal suite will ride In a stately procession, which will be both sumptuous and pic turesque. Dressed In gsla uniforms, those who sre to partake In the ceremony will drive to the Parliament house In the his toric carriages, painted by famous Spanish artiste and by eminent foreign masters. Many of the carriages, too, are richly orna mented with bronie, silver snd tortoise shell, having been made for King Philip V, and copied from the court carriages of Louis IV. Four horses will drsw each of the first series of carriages, containing the courtiers. The Infsntas and great dlgna taries of the palace will ride next In car riages drawn by six horses. Then will come the carriages conveying the king and his mother, each carriage drawn by six horses snd the rein of each horse held by a foot man dressed In the glittering uniform of the period of Charles V. Gorgeously attlrel cavalry, of the reglnrent forming the garri son at Madrid, together with a special bodyguard ot Spanish noblemen on horse back, will canter by the side of the car riage of the king. Following the ceremony of taking the oath there will be a reception at the palace and a'Te Deum" performed at one of the principal churches in Madrid. In the aft ernoon, becauae of the popular demand for such a spectacle, there will be a bullfight, but because of the apathy which the king and his mother have always evinced toward this national sport, the principal feature of the performance, which Is known as "cava liers In position," where young noblemen the Frontier ation of the frontier. Of course. In its fuller meaning, the frontier of the days of early settlement In the west Is the only one; that of today is merely a statistical fiction. The census takers find an average population of Ices than two persons to the square mile and draw a frontier line. Beyond, they say, is "uninhabited." Yet across that boundary are houses, sheds, corrals, barbed wire fences, high grade cattle and wrinkled fleeced sheep. The frontier of today Is a matter of mathematics and theory; that of thirty years ago was definite. Men could name the section line at which civili sation ceased and aavagery began. The rising tide of immigration met with a re sistance that gave distinction to its border and clothed its advance with dramatics. The "bad man" and the homesteader went side by side; the town lot promoter and the dance house msnager, the preacher and the cowboy. The builders of new rail roads and drivers of freight wagons on the long trails were there; professional sharp ers come with the hard-working farmers. The struggle with conditions was often 111-advlsed. Out of western Kansas and Nebraska during the five years following 1890 moved a quarter of a million people. The cattlemen fenced up the land again. Including alike the public domain and the abandoned claim, thinking that never again would there be Inquiry for the property. Of late the, tide, haa turned westward onse more, and with a better understanding of the limitations of the soil and climate another effort is . being . made to settle permanently the vast level expanie known In western parlance as the "short-grass country." Perhaps It can be done, but It will not be by agriculture alone, and those eager advocates of settlement who are urging special methods of crop-raising as adapted to semi-arid western landa, may have much to unlearn when the west meets with another series of drouthy seasons. However this may be. !t Is certain that the new settlers are enterng on their task Dead ship, which on Memorial day will be elaborately trimmed with flowers and launched from the wharf among the other emblems sent out to sea. There Is also a rumor that they are designing a marvelous anchor, which they will present to Mrs. Forbes, to be used by her as her tribute to their departed comrades, whom she is Interesting ths country to honor. It is Mrs. Forbes' notion to have the observances in memory of the sailors sim ple, but as Impressive as possible. The preliminary ceremonies are to be held oa shore and will consist of patriotic speeches and songs, an address suitable to the oc casion and part or all of the service for the dead of the National Association of Naval Veterans. After this the officers In charge and the school children are to march down to the end of a . wharf. A firing squad of soldiers will peeeede and on their arrival will fire a salute over the waves. The Oower strewing will then begin and thousands of blossoms will be cast upon the waters, some In garlands, some in nsutical emblems, others loose, but all of red, white and blue. The effect of the sea blossoming with the national colors is most beautiful and stirs alike the heart ot young and old. From the start Mrs. Forbes has had the support of th highest officers of the nsvy, who heartily endorse her plans. Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Evans and many others have written to her expressing their ap preciation of what ahe Is trying to do for those who have gone aloft forever. Through the courtesy of the secretary ot the navy and of Colonel Stone of San Fran cisco a revenue cutter Is te be placed at Mrs. Forbes' disposal for ths ceremonies this year. This will go out from Ssnta Monica, flower trimmed and flower laden, and Impressive ceremonies will be held at sea under the auspices of the Naval As sociation Woman's Relief corps of Los Angeles. In addition to this a service will be held oa sbors by the children. It Is the ardent desire of Mrs. Forbes to bave her floral tribute to the sailor dead become a permanent feature ot Me morial day throughout the country. It need not be limited to the coaat of Cali fornia wherever there Is water be it ocean, lake or river, the thing caa be done. while away from home after 10 o'clock at night." Such la the flat iasued from the bench by Judge L. J. Connor ton In Long Island City, L. L Miss Mabel Hanna and Mr. Horry Par aons will be married at benator Hanna' Lake avenue home in Cleveland.

Y., were lovers. A quarrel separated them, and he wes$ ta JUftgol4 county, Iowa, where Ceremonies Attending His Assuming the Throne. descend Into the ring to fight the bull, will be eliminated. This aversion of the royal family to bullfights has had a dampening effect upon these performances, so that they are not as popular aa in former times. In the evening the high aristocracy ot Madrid, the lords and ladles ot the court, the granddamee ot- Spain, and especially their marriageable daughters, will attend the grand ball at the palace. At that time, too. many a proud mother will jealously watch to see who dances with her daugh ter most, and the gossips will find food for months of surmUe and conjecture an to the marriages of the ensuing yesr. Those who bave bad the opportunity to know the young king ssy that, although naturally delicate, he has much of his mother's strength of character, and dls plays a scope of learning which, in the opinion of some, amounts to more than pre coclousmess. His life thus far has been one of routine and study. Ills education In books has been forced, snd from tutors and governesses he has learned, with remark able correctness, French, German, Italian and English. The boy appears, moreover, to realize In full that at this time, when he steps from the (scholar's desk to the monarch's throne, he takes upon bis car row shoulders the burdens of a government which would be likely to break down a less determined spirit. This country will be represented on this memorable May 17 at the Spanish capital by Rev. D. Jabei Lamar Monroe Curry, who sailed from New Tork on the steamer Stat endam on April 19. Dr. Curry Is an ex minister to Spain, having been appointed to represent this government at Madrid by President Cleveland In 1S8S. After three years' service at the Spanish capital Dr. Curry returned to assume again the duties of the general agent of the Feabody educa tional fund. A New Era Makes It a Reminiscence. much better equipped than were those of oia. According to reports they are plan ning to raise stock as well as crops and will be prepared thus to aurvlve In lean crop years. With the irrlgationists reaching out from the river valleys and the settlers moving further westward over the only open plain remaining this side the Rocky mountains, with Pullman cars rolling where the stage coach and the saddle pony have been, since the beginning of American settlement the only modes of conveyance, it is evident that the frontier even that of the census takers' fiction Is passing Into ancient his tory. With It goea much of the picturesque In new lands. The cattle herd winding along the dusty trail has some attraction for nearly every one; the same herd hud dled Into a rumbling, dirty train of stock, cars gets scarcely a glance and not a single thought. The cowboy with his sombrero appeals far more to our imagination than does the hired man following the harrow. Yet It la out of the clvlllratlon typified by the hired man and the cattle train that comb the fullest and best returns. This It is that la to bring to its consummation the middle weet and give to It the business and agricultural standing that its possibilities merit. It is esUmated that 160,000 people have gone Into the southwest, which In cludes the recently settled lands of Okla homa in the last year. Most of them are there to stay.. Others are going by every homeeeekera' excursion that is run to that section. They, too, will stay. New towns by the score are springing up along the just laid tracks and In each is the full com plement of business houses. There will be In this settlement no auch receding as In that of the first rush to tire plains. The frontier will not return. A glimpse of It may be caught here and there on the plateaus of Arizona and New Mexico, but even there the new conditions are being established. The frontier la to the weet a reminiscence, a new era has begun. Waves Strewn with Blossems of Many Colors. In placet where flowers are not abundant leavea can be substituted and beautiful wreaths and garlands they make, as every one knows. This yesr Mrs. Forbes hopes to suc ceed in getting a ship sent out from Key West to strew flowers over the Havana harbor, and thus do honor to the victims of the Maine. The secretary of the navy has promised the ship If she can get the flowers, but there arises her difficulty, for flowers do not grow at Havana or Key West. This obstacle she hopes to over come by having flowers donated by patriotic women, two of whom. Miss Helen Gould of New York and Mrs. Posey of Los Angeles, she hopes may furnish all the flowers that are necessary. There Is no reason why every ship at ea should not have a floral service of its own on Memorial day. The sailors could make paper flowers. They are deft with their fingers and could while away many a tedious hour by flower-msklng and the de signing of flower anchors, ships, flags and such other emblema as suit their nautical taste. The work would hsve the charm of novelty and appeal to the hearts of all who go down to the sea in ships. Mrs. Forbes is a resident of Los Angelee, but a Pennsylvanlan by birth. She has th blood of patriots In her veins, being de scended from John Page, the first male child born In Philadelphia, and her an cestors were conspicuous In the revolu tionary war. None of them, however, woe a sailor and she is ths first of her family In whom patriotism has taken a naval bent. Going to Kansas with her parents In her youth, Mrs. Forbes was educated at Wich ita, where she married an Englishman, Armltoge S. C. Forbes. With htm ehe went to London, where her teste for art and lit erature developed and was Increased by years of travel In the old world. She wrote letters to American newspapers and upon her return to this country gave con siderable time to Journalism. Though prominent in women's clubs, Mrs. Forbes U by no means the typical new woman. On the contrary, ahe Is Intensely feminine, believes that the home Is woman's sphere, never allows outside matters to Interfere with - domesticity and has no interests which her husband does) not share. he married. His wife and two children died and lately he followed them. In his will he left all his eatate, valued at $Jo. o. to his old sweetheart, who remained single. Among tba young women of Waahlngton who have just passed through its de lightful social ordeal is Miss Ethel Slga bee, daughter of Captain Charles Dwlajht Hlgsbao, one of the United States navy's strong men, who will ever be remembered as the commander of the 111-fatod Maine Captain and Mr. Bigabe live, at 1614 B trevt, Washington, a house famous for its delightful hospitality, in which the mis tress Is ably seconded by her Never daugh ter.
