had a keen sense of humor and could tell
good story with genuine comedy effect. AT
one time he announced his intention OF
collaborating with Shaddon Chambers, the
dramatist, in writing play on his eX-
perienceS. He was a generous patron of
the drama, though his generosity took the
form OF entertainments to popular artists
rather than of literary patronage. On one
occasion when u play was being presented
at Drury Lane Theater with scene de-

uary Treaty NeSOt1at1OnS.
WASHINGTON, June l4.--The final ratif-
cation of the boundary treaty between
Great Britain and Venezuela was ex-
changed at the State Department at 8
o'clock this afternoon. Because this ex-
change of ratifications marked the closing
chapter in the negotiations begun in the
last and deciding phase, almost two years
ago, the occasion was marked with some
formality. The scene was the diplomatic re-
ception room in the State Department,
in which the original treaty between Sir
Julian Pauncefore and Secretary Olney was
signed last December and where on Feb. 2
last the present treaty was signed by the
British ambassador and the Venezuelan
minister. To-day there were present in the
room Sir Julian, Senior Andrade, the Ven
ezuelan minister, and his secretary of Iega-
tion acting Secretary of State VIM r.
Day and Assistant Secretary Thos. w Grid
Ter, who has been instrumental in framing
the various treaties, protocols and other
writings connected with the treaty What
remained to be done to-day was to exchange
the copies of the treaties held by each party
and to sign what is known as the exchange
protocols For this purpose Senior Andrade
brought along the same magnificent golden
penholder with its eagle quill and diamond
studded heart that had been used last Feb
ruary to sign the original drafts of the
treaties This pen is the property of the
brother OF the minister and was made for
this particular purpose 1t will be. sent to
Venezuela now that 1t has fulfilled its func-
ton, not to be used again, but to be pre-
served as a relic
The treaty now becomes binding upon
both governments, Great Britain and Ven
eZuela, and they must at once begin the
preparation of the cases to be submitted
to the arbitrators, who will meet in Paris
for organization, probably some time next
winter With to-day's ceremony the conneC-
ton of the United States government with
the negotia tions ceases and the two govern
mpDtS will be left TO work out the bOundar, ~
dispute to Il conclusion unless there should
be some totally unexpected interruption in
the workings of the machinery which has
been so carefully prepared to insure a set
tlnrannt of this celebrated Cause

BRITISH IMPERIAL UNITY.
Sir WiIfred Laurier, Canada's Pre-
mier. Talks boldly to EngIishmem.

DOIuAy NO
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Evening Post
to-day publishes the following copyright
cablegram from London: Mr. Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian premier has given
a new and somewhat dramatic turn to the
talk of schemes of imperial unity and ag-
grandizement of which the air in England
is very full just now. Every other colonial
premier now here, while overlooking with
expressions of loyalty. is assuring England
of the dire consequence if she will not bar
ter away her free trade in exchange for
tariff preferences in colonial markets. The
Duke of Devonshires speech at Liverpool
on Saturday following Mr.. Chamberlain's s
lukewarm attitude towards free trade, is
interpreted as indicating a readiness of
the imperial government to make some
move in the direction of imperial customs
union when the question comes up in con-
ference between Mr.. Chamberlain and the
premierS. This may include duties on such
foreign imports as wheat, flour and meat
from America and the Argentine as COM
pete with Canadian and Australian prod
uets. This was part of Mr.. Chamberlain's
zolIverein idea 1t is at this interesting mo-
ment that Mr. Laurier steps forward and
declares that zollVerein to be mere protec-
ton and asserts that protection, which has
been the curse and bane of Canada. to be
the greatest possible mistake for England
'''By our tariff says Mr.. Laurier. we
in Canada give you preference as a free
gift. We ask nothing in return; we do
not desire you to abandon the grand prin-
ciples of free trade; we desire rather to
follow in your free-trade lead trading
where trading is most natural. Protection
must weaken you and so hurt the empire
and Canada as a part of it. Asked of the
Duke Of Devonshire's scheme of imperial
naval defense, under which the West In
eies are being fortified, Mr.. Laurier said
There is only one country with whom Can
ada ever could be at war. That country
is the United States. and war with the
United States is contingency / refuse to
discuss Such war would be not only a
has Canada of great schemes of naval de-
fense? We are devoted TO British rule and
grateful for it; but we are satisfied as we
are until the need arises in the course of
our national development for change.
These utterances, in view of Mr. Lauriers S
prominence among colonial premiers, cam
not fail to have great effect upon the i'm
perial policy, which is undoubtedly prepar-
ing for an important new departure

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Senate de-

WHY CATTLE ARE DYING.

Presumed to Be From Eating Cornstalks.
But Likely Something Else.
Considerable anxiety is felt in the
surrounding counties over the death of
SC many cattle of late, which seems to
be due to the formation of some disease
from eating cornstalhs. Out west quite
number of cattle Rave died from this
cause. but it is stated that death among
the cattle occurs only when they are
turned into the fields and not from eat
ing fodder. A note from DR.. Smith.
the veterinarian, gives the following
information concerning the disease:
The disease from which SO many
cattle have died in the surrounding
district in called by the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry "Toxamia Maids" The
authorities have lately been investigat-
ing the disease but have not yet found
the cause-although undoubtedly the
animals are infected in the cornstalk
tields-it is not due directly to smut or
the cornstalks.
The two most probable theories are:
|I the germ theory: ~ some chemical
poison in certain stalks. The Bureau
can only recon memo keeping the ami
mails out OF standing corn stalks. When
the stalks are cut and properly cured
the disease does not appear. The dis
ease is non-con tagious.
DR.. ID. 70. Salmon, cbiefo of the Bureau
has sent list of questions to S. NJ.
Smith V. S. to be answered by the
farmers who have lost cattle from this
disease, in order that the department
may get a fuller knowledge of the ex-
tent and character of the malady. Mr..
Smith will, therefore, be glad to have
farmers who are interested call at his

What the Cold Wave Warnings Indicate
to the Public.
At this time Of the year and on
through the winter people naturally
display more interest in the weather
signals than in the summer months,
and are particularly anxious to know
when a cold wave or blizzard is due.
Director Glenn, of the Huron weather
station, sends the following card which
will explain the cold wave flag: Dur
ing December, January and February,
a cold wave warning is intended to in
dicate that the temperature is expected
to fall 20 degrees in "a hours, and to
l6 degrees or below. From March to
November inclusive, that the temper
ature is expected to fall 20 degrees in
"a hours and to 20 degrees or below.
When cold wave signals are ordered
and it is expected that the temperature
will fall 10 degrees or more below the
limits before mentioned. the designa--
tion ''Severe cold wave" will be includ-
ed in the order" Chief Rierson will
keep the flag displayed strictly accord
ing to orders during the winter and
people whose interests are affected will
be benefited thereby.
