The understanding with this country la aaid to be that England does not desire to acquire any Nlca raguan territory, but only to collect the amount of her claimed Indemnity. There are those, however, who be lieve territory Is exactly iwlhat he Brit ish are after, and thiat the real ani mus of her onalauglvt Is not to be found In rhe BluefleWs episode; Which Is only an excuse for an afltempt to gain some sort of Interest over the Nicaragua canal. Senator Mottgan and many oth ers believe that the BluefleMs matter would never have been (heard of again had not the last congress committed the Untied States 'to the construction of the canal. Hence there Is reason why the people of this country should be deeply Interested in the action of Great Britain. She may .be seeking to pave the 'Way, dn case of h comple tion of the carnal, to obtain control over that .waterway to repeat, In ef fect, the Jart she played In the Sues canal. . If this carnal Is built and It will toe-4t mnust be under exclusively American control, evn if it takes war to compel Engftarvd to keep her hands off. Referring to the general Improve ment In trade and the easier condition of the money market, the last number of the, American Grocer says: The in dications are that the tide has turned and thalt we Ihave paeaod the lowest . point of depression. The rise in lead ing; commodities continues. The ad vance thus far has been marked In ller, -Wheat, meat, cotton, petroleum, leather, titocka atd Worfcfa. It Is idle to say that all theae articles have simultaneously advanced as the result of speculation. There are great un darlylng icauses at work which are making themselves manlfast, The ces sation of ithe 'War between Japan and China tends to advance the price of cotton, as (both Jaipan and China are rapidly pushing the development of oat ton mills, and have created great disquietude in 'Manchester, England, owing to the Inroads already made on the ootlton goods Itrade ot England. A few years since, as we were enjoying a ride around and about the magnifi cent homes In ithe suburbs ot Boston, and oommertblng upon the imany evi dence! of projerity, a leading manu facturer remarked: "This Is what a protective policy has done for this country; "but God Ihelp (the real of the world when China commences to man ufacture!" The war Jum closed is big with portent for the future. It un doubtedly means greater commercial advantages for all notions; In fact, Che Japanese government is reported by cable as having (Mated that much, In order to quiet the feeling of unrest In continental Europe over the treaty of peace. The raising- of wages ly the cdtton mills of New England, the rise In Iron, higher prices tot bouts and shoes, the improvement In railway arnlngs, ibank extfhangies nearly ten per cent alhead of Khe same "time last year all point to general improve ment In trade and commerce. The rise In the pries of exportable products is the groaitesrt "possible check upon an outflow of gold, and It is also a factor In stimulating Europe to repurchase American securities iwMch ithey havo been dumping on this market ever since the liarlngs failure In 1890.

Pronounced by Physicians the most Favorable in America forSuflerers from . . . Lung Diseases and Rheumatism Many Remarkable Cures The objections urged against Indio In the past by the large numbers who otherwise would have been glad to tak advantage of its beneficial climate, has been a lack of suitable accommoda tion.
