Isthmian The certainty that an iath O.niil. niian canal bill is going to puss at this eeesion of con EriHs ctuwes a number of men to give the project the most eerious considera tion, and some are (living particular at tention to the Panama canal project, even in iho face of the report of the tfomuiitsnn in favor of the Nicaragua route. The fact that the Nicaragua route is 168 mile long as aganut 4b miles hciobs Panama, and tht it will tike 36 hours for vessels to go through instead of 12 in passing at l'anama, is giving many senators aud representa tives seiiotifi moments of reflection. They recognize the complications that would follow their dealing with the French and the. Columbian govern ments, but they are considering whether it would not be better to do eo and have a shorter canal, even if the cost is considerable more. The old speech of Henalor Davis made against the bill 10 years ago is being revived. In It he asserted that the 6eismic condi tion! of Nicaragua and Costa Hica were such as to make it very probable that earthquake would at any time destroy the locks and canal along the proposed Nicaragua route. Tue question of har bors on both sides is also being raised and couipa isons fevorable to the har bors on the Panama route are being made; Of course, Una discussion is more or less tentative, and it may not amount to anything in the end, as the Heutimeiii of congreiw seems largcy in favor of a Kicaraguun canal, nome oe lieve that the Panama talk is simuly in the interest of deleating any canal, and that opposition is brought out in the re port made by .Senator Morgan.

Schley The report of the Schley Censured, court of inquiry was pro mulgated by Secretary Long last night. There aio two reports.

Ad minl Dov.ey makes a separate report, although he a,;ro'S with the findings of facts Mib.'cri!;cd to liy tuo others, xno 'majoity leport condemns Admiral Schley on 11 points, while Admiral Dewey eiiftains him in most places. The majority opinion finds in briel that Ad miral Schley Bhould have proceeded with the utmost dispatch to Cienfuegos and maintained a close blockade; that he should have endeavored to have oh dcayored to have obtained information of the SpaniKh thdre; that he should have proceeded lo Santiago with dis patch ; that he should not have made the retrogdo movement ; that he should have obeyed the department's orders; that he should have endeavored to cap ture the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that ho diil not do his utmost to destroy ihe Colon ; that lie caused the squadron in ii.ca ilivtiiii'u ii tho lorm of the Brooklyn ; that he thereby caused the Texas to back; that ho did injustice to Hodgeon; that his conduct in the cam paign wsa characterized by vascillation.

Sunday, December 15 U'irolooa Willinm Mnri'oni. of St. Telegrsphy John's, N. B., announced Succepe. the most wonderful scien tific discovery of modern times tonight in stating that he had re ceived electric signals across the Atlan tic ocean from his station in Cornwall, England. Before leaving England he wtfdo plans for accomplishing this re- , suit, for while his primary object was to communicate with ocean liners in mid ocean, he hoped also to succeed in at taining the wondertul scientific achieve ment of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi's Btition in Cornwall is very powerful. It possesses an electric force generated there 100 times greater than ins ordinary stations. Before he left England he arranged with the electrician in charge of the station, which is located at Poidhu. that signals should be sent daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after perfecting his arranegments here. Signor Marconi arrived here a week ago f rmay, selecteil Mgnai tiiii at, mo en trance to the harbor, as an experimen tal station, and moved ids equipment there.

At Yoko hama,, in his tine raiment and a white felt hat, he passed himself off to a t Japanese coal merchant as the pay master of the fleet and contracted for several thousand tons of coal. The frice named was $14 a ton. "What Is my rake off?" he asked tho dealer, who offered a generous commis sion. "Make the price sixteen dollars a ton aud have thousand tons ready for delivery at the earliest pos sible1 hour tomorrow morning," he said. The merchant opened wine, , and when thoroughly warmed up the sailor remarked, looking indolently at his watch: "By the bye, I'm expected to visit the club tonight, and It is prob able that I may need a little more money than I have In my pocket. Per haps you had better advance me three or four thousand dollars on account." Qf course he got what he wanted. Next morning the vessels were stir lounded with scores of barges laden with coal, and It was all the ollicers could do to prevent the Japs from un loading their cargoes. The dealer dar ed say nothing, for he had entered into a conspiracy to defraud the govern ment, so ho pocketed his loss iu si lence. New York Press. CORN HOUSE AND GRANARY.

Thus a man named Soleiman Attala had a wife, IsbnUyeu. The wo man frequently worked for us, and on several occ. slons I lmd to complain that she talUed too ninth and worUed too little. At length I was obliged to tell Soleiman that owing to his wife's laziness I could employ her no longer. Shortly afterward I went to England. On hiy return nfter a couple of months' absence I was surprised to flnd that Soleiman had divorced Isbak yeh and had already married another woman. On Inquiring from him the cause of this he replied, "lour nouor 'told me that you would not employ my wife again, so I thought I would get rid cf her aud marry another woman whom you would employ."

Growing wheat has not been as prof itable for some farmers as other Uiuds of crops that could be grown at less expense. There is a teciuig mac any man can grow com, but that it takes some skill and a great deal of high priced help and machinery to produce a crop of wucat. Winter wheat is er.eroachir.3 on new territory every year. Some pood farm er who is careful, painstaking and pro nwieuivn will lain:' in some new va riety and will be successful in growing this cereal. Others will follow, some of whom will not be successful. 1 Neglecting to plow the ground early so that the soli will get thoroughly set tled and compact Is perhaps the case of more complete failures than any other. Sometimes it Is impossible for lack cf moisture to plow ground at all when it, should be done. Where it Is impossible to plow ground soon after harvest we would suggest M,i,ni.i. n .-! clean stubble two or three times with a disk harrow, keep ing up a general pulverization with whatever tool that will perform the work until tho time for drilling. Vo would then drill the wheat, says Iowa Homestead. We are inclined to the opinion that this preparation will make a better seed 'bed than where plowing is done bite and the grain drilled In freshly plowed ground with insuhHeicnt preparation. Where It Is possible- to piow cau. n will give ore and a half or two months from the time of plowing until drilling time. Latitude and the presence of insect enemies will largely suggest the time of drilling wheat. This time varies from the second wceh iu September un til the middle of October. n fell liUto! v of niv e.i-c.
