According to us ually well informed correspondents at Rome, Vienna, Yokohama. Paris and Berlin, the powers are now deliberating as to the advisability of Imprisoning the dowager empress of China, and are busy arranging the details of the long looked for partition of the celes tial empire. These forecasts bear many evidences of authoritative Inspiration. Yet the Associated Press Is in a posi tion to say they have not a fragment of basis. Upon the authority of the British government It can be declared that no communications have passed between the powers regarding any ac tion in China, excepting the relief and release of the diplomats shut up In Pe kin. When that is accomplished, to use the words of a foreign official, "it will be time enough for the nations to deliberate on' their further course of action." This official added: "No plan for the eventual settlement of Chinese problems has so far been pre sented to Great Britain, nor even sug- gested to her."

Upon this latter phase of the situation, the all ebsorbing topic of the day, one can hear hundieds of opinions from men about equally well posted, yet scarcely any of them agree. A well known American diplomat, though frankly confessing he Is bewildered by the countless possibilities Involved, tells the Associated Press he believes It quite probable the crisis will resolve itself Into a struggle between Russia and Japan. London Is teeming with Americans who find difficulty in getting accom modations at the hotels. On every steamer r.lght cab loads are turned away from the leading metropolitan hostelries. Compared with the eager ness of the hotel managers and store keepers in awaiting the coming of the Americans, the Khedive's arrival in England was merely a trifling Incident. Among the American visitors this week was former Consul-General Collins, who is making a flying trip to England and Ireland on personal business. The few editorials and cablegrams printed here created only a mild sort of interest in the republican national con vention at Philadelphia, as the result was regarded as a foregone conclusion.

A special to the Record from Sioux City, la., says: When the sheriff of Dakota county, Nebraska, was apprised of the work of the thirty-two South Dakota farmers In digging a channel .-.cross lilnlnger's Neck, to make a short cut for th tor tuous Missouri river, he Immediately despatched a posse of deputies to stop the unlawful work. Among the mem bers of the ,'vsse are bankers and prominent business m.'n. They went fully armed, as It was expected a de termined resistance would he made, but they arrived too late. The last farmer had already crossed Into South Dakota before the posse came In sight. When the pose arrived they found the swift current of the river fast eat ing a wide and deeper channel ucrot the Neck through which the trench was dug. It la only a question of a few j hours when the channel of the blj rlv er will be unalterably changed, and the farms on the fertile peninsula will b a part of the domain of South Dakota. SIDNEY LUCAS A STUNNER. With Biggest Odda Against Him He Wins Derby Race at Chicago. CHICAGO, June 23.-Sidnoy Lucas, almost neglected in the betting, at odds of 15 to 1, won the thirteenth American derby this afternoon, at Washington park. Six lengths behind him was the Eastern colt James, and still further back, struggling to no avail, was the vaunted public choice, the even mon- ev favorite. Lieutenant fSIHann n. I racks. Advance Guard and Sam Phil- Hps, In order brought up the proces sion, which carried little Joy to the 30,- 000 spectators who saw the great classic event decided. The rush of Sidney Lu ca through the stretch and the falling back of Lieutenant Gibson were so sudden, so startling, that they fairly stupefied the crowd. Perhaps not one In a hundred had picked out Sidney Lucas to turn the trick. Lieutenant Gibson, the favorite, had no excuses. The stake was worth I9.9T3 to the winner. CHICAGO. June 23.-The American Derby will be run at Washington Park this afternoon on a heavy track, ma terially Increasing the chances of the favorite. Lieutenant Gibson, relatively to the other starters. Turf critics agree that the son of C. W. Johnson can go in the mud, which is more than is known of his two principal rivals. Ad vance Guard and Sam Phillips. The threatened interruption of betting by the city authorities is now regarded as off, for the bookmakers are making preparations to cut in In the regular way. Despite the fact that Lieuten ant Gibson was an eight to five favor ite last night, and Is likely to be at a shorter price at the track, many turfmen still think Sam Phillips bas a chance to beat him despite the track conditions. It Is significant, however, that the heavy betters and those gen erally called "wise" around a race track are betting, betting heavily, on the favorite. . Several owners will not announce their Intentions of starting until the last moment, but the field Is not likely to number over seven, possibly eight. The sure starters are Lieutenant Gib son, 8 to 5, in sporting circles this morning; Sam Phillips, 4 to 1; Barrack 15 to 1; Norford. 20 to 1, and Sidney Lucas, 20 to 1. In addition to the above, it is probable that James, at 8 to 1, and Advance Guard, at C to 1, will start. All Gold, Yellow Tail and Silver Garter are doubtful. The value of the race to the winner with seven starters is over $10,000. The record for the American Derby Is 2:38. NEW CANAL ROUTE. Discovery of a Tide-Water Route Throws Nicaragua Scheme In the Shade. NEW YORK, June 23.-In a letter to a personal friend, at Bellefonte, Pa., Dr. G. F.

Dr, Wlckes give the Interesting Informs lion that the commission has dlscov ered a tide-water level route for a canal across the Isthmus, The letter also shows souk of the hardships and dan gvr which the commission encounter ed. It was written from Lasardl, Cal edonia bay, and in part says: "Hero we have found what we all have vainly sought for weeks and weeks, a practical route for a tide level canal. We have found low .enough ttn: It the dividing ridge from time to ttm, with a steep ap proach on the Atlantic slope, making 'cut a practical possibility, but dis appointment has always awaited us on the other side.

A great vide valley stretches out straight to ward the Pacific ocean, which can be seen In the distance. The Atlantic Is near and In plain sight. Here a tlde-wuter rami!, the dream of all 'canallsts," can be built, with a perfect harbor on each side. At Lasardl, the many Islands would pro tect Its mouth, and on the other side Pan Miguel bay a perfect site. The officers of the Scorpion say that the Lasardl hurbor alone makes this route worth oO.WO.OOO more than any other. The damming of rivers which would otherwise flood th canal. Is n piotl-m cf every route. The only thing to be said agnlnst this route Is the high rut of SCO feet. "Of course congress may not accept the report of the commission, but It re mains an Indisputable fact that this Is par excellence the future route for the trans-continental cannl route. It really seems possible that we have rvfound Selfridge's Caledonian route, discovered during his three years' work here in the early seventies." The route suggested from Caledonia bay to the Gulf of San Miguel lies about 110 mill's east of the old Panama and Colonial rout. The proposed line would connect the Gulf of Darlen and the bay of Panama. At that place th isthmus of Darlen Is about 3 miles wide. - BULLISHNESS GONE WILD.
