HlaUtnienta made by Htwator Blieruian in diaoiming the Nicaragua canal 1)111 on Wednesday are In the hlghert degree encouraging to the advocate of (hat measure. An It I known thai did sena- tor la to I encretarf ol mate in the neat administration hia word may on re gaidedaia declaration of wht will be undertaken by President McKlnley, and they give assurance thcreforn thtt the measure which now teems to b checks! will he carrind forward under a new form lo complete aurnota. Senator fcherman i reported to have declared that ho ho'ievei th rii'y rue mis of building the Nicaragua canal is through the power ol Ihe United (Slates. Ha eitenaed the opinion that no private canal company could carry out the pro Joel and that it should he undertaken by our government directly, lie went on tony he would vote lor the bid In any form w hich it might I J rewntcd, hut he thought the bettor way would lie to allow the matter to rest until a new treaty could lie uiade with the Nicara gnau govermuuut. The BtaU-ment as reported is certainly explicit enough to give satisfaction lo the advocates of the measure. Ai secre tary of elate Senator Sherman will him roll have cuarge ol negotiating tl.e treaty for the conjunction oftliecsnal, and hia worda are a diaiinct proruire that he will do .all in his power to pro mote the great enterprise. There is moreover degree cf eatiefaclion to bo 'oind ih hi) declaration that the ctnal should hu cotiNtructod by the govern- uiuntforthe ople, and uot for pri vate crHiration. Much of Ihe objection to (he protent bill lias boeu (oumlud upn the belief that it granted too much favor to the canal company, and tbii ob jection will of course be ronioved by the Joplion of the palicy eupgeMed. Ihcre can be no rpiestion that the grxatt'St opportunity which will open te- foro the socrctury of slate of the new ad ministration on entering oflk'e will bo that of arranging audi a treaty ns has bden outlined. The construction of the Nicaragua canal is j 'let no tho most important enterprise which engages the atten'ion cf the world. It means 'a vlr- tuul revolution) in tho commerce of the earth. Its advantage to every nation will he great, and its benciits to tho United Stn'ei will he too vast to be cal culated. The secretary of state w ho per fects a treaty which pioviJea (or the con struction of the canal, and Ihe president under wlno direction the great work is carried out, can count upem holding a high place In the scroll which contains tho names of. the great 'Tetateeinrn cf America who have promoted the welfare of the country, not tenipjraiily, but lor ail time.

' While tilling himself up, i.o said he knew a young man who applied for something to eat, and wsa asked to split some wood.

Prize Fights Approved. Governor Sadler of Nevada, in approv ing the bill permitting "glove contests" in that state, gave his reasons as follows: A largo majority of the people of Nevada favored the glove-ccntest act. This was manifested by letters and tele grams received at tho Capitol. The leg islature passed the bill by a dtcisive majority and tho executive does not con sider it his province to set up his opin ion against that cf the majority, as he could not hud any constitutional grounds for vetoing tliu bill.
