Stolen Bishop Vestments Restored. Panama Canal Favor Favored
Bishop Leonard of Cleveland had a vestment valise stolen in New York and recovered within eight hours. The Panama canal project faces no anticipated legal hurdles as the United States pays 40 million dollars for canal properties, with the Panama company trusted as acting in good faith. Kansas reformer Carrie Nation injures her toe with a hatchet, prompting moral reflections. The Democratic state committee gathered in Columbus showed a push for offices through strong organization. Isthmian canal commissioners unanimously back the Panama route, noting substantial progress and advantages over Nicaragua.
