But the meeting was not held and IL is
not known when the board will meet

but the sentiment of the committee was
largely against such action. The COM
mittee, therefore, decided to stand by
the conference report and urge as speedy
action in the Senate as possible. There
is absolutely no doubt In the mind of
the committee about the ultimate adop-
ton Of the conference report. Senator
Sherman holds that as soon as the Sen
ate concurs in the conference report the
resolutions will go at once to the Pres

unnecessary In view of the acceptance
of the resolutions Of that body by the
Senate.

LONDON, March 5.-.Thef reported con-
solidatlon Of the Panamannnd Nicaragua
canal companies has been prematurey an
nounced in Paris, where secrets are not well
kept The managers fdheaNicaragua Com
pany, who have been in Etifope for several
months attempting to False the money re-
quired for the resumption of work, have
been considering bold stroke for the re-
moval of their French rival but nothing has
been done beyond the exchange Of views
with Intermediates acting in the interest of
the Panama Company. It is probable that
an offer has been made for the purchase of
the assets of the French company, including
the Panama railroad, but nothing has been
settled, and no definite proposition has been
submitted by either board of directors The
motive of this transaction, if 1t be carried
out Will be the concentration of effort upon
the completion of the more practical project
under American management The French
property will be purchased, If at all, in Mic
aragua bonds, and, with the consolidation of
the two rival interests, it will be easier to
obtain the capital required for the Central
American waterway. The news has leaked
out In Paris, greatly to the annoyance of
those who have been in secret conference
for two months.

BEES IN THE CITY.

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Did YOU ever Think of keeping bees right
here in the city? They can be kept. and
will not require a license, either, as the
possession of a dog does. If you live near
one of the parks the matter will be SIM
plifie9 for YOU will not be obliged to feed
your bees; they can forage for themselves.
Hives can be placed in a city back yard, or
even on top of the house, though the latter
location would be too cold and windy for
them to he left through the winter.
The spring is the time to begin with the
hives and their busy Swarms, and ii is not
too soon now to be looking up the subject
if you think of making the attempt. You
should get book on bee culture and study
about these interesting insects.
You must learn to distinguish the work
ers, the queens and the drones apart, SO
that when you have a hive Won will know
how to clip the queens wings. This will
keep her always near the hive and the rest
of the colony loyalty stays where its queen
is. You may learn much from the book,
ard in any perpleXity it will help you but
your best teaacher will be experience. You
will soon learn that bees are intelligent,
that they know their friends, and that they
are easily angered. You will probably get
stung once or twice, but it may console you
to know that workers among bees get ac-
customed to the poison from the sting, and
it does not affect them much after time.
Italian bees are the most hardy, and two
SwarmS are quite enough to begin with,
though IL takes more to raise bees for
profit. Large bee cultivators have bees for
sale, and swarm and hive cost about 81.
Even If you only undertake the care of one
hive you will find the study of these honey
makers interesting. They viii open your
eyes to the wonders of nature and give you,
city boy or girl, taste of country pleas
