Notes of the Day.

II dispatch from Panama this morning
n TO be credited, new complication may
have arisen in regard to our canal in
Interests in Central America. II is re
ported and believed Ola the lsthmuA that
the concession of the French company now
building the Panama Canal has been trans
ferred TO the British government. This
H. very grave rews il true. Owing to lack
OF water al the summit, and other serious
difficulties, American engineers have Ell.
tcrtained the opinion that the Panama
Canal could not be Completed successfully
by even grea: corporate means. There is
a possibility, however, that with praC-
.icary unlimited none at command, gov
erLlnent ike that OF Great Britain might
overcome all obstacles and perform the
work IL may be that the report is ex-
Rggerated and that il is a British coru
pany which has taken over the concession,
and not the government.

Ottawa, Sept. 9.-The customs depart
mepr has just issued a circular letter OF
instr uctione td collectors, naming the
countries which are to receive preferen-
tial treatment. It embraces about all the
count ries from which Canada imports any
thing except the United States The list
is now made III, Of the following:
The British iIsles, Belgium, Germany.
France, Algeria and the French colonies,
Argentina. A ustria- Hungary, Polivia. Co
lonbia, Denmark. Persia. Russia, Sweden,
Norway, Tunis. switzerland and vene-
zuela. These countries are not only en-
titled to the reduction OF one-eighth On
goods which may be imported into Canada
from them in the future, but they are
also entitled to the refund Of the excess
Of the dgty collected ON goods imported
from item since the new Canadian tariff
came into force.
Tie circular also contains the impor-
tant Information that the products Ct any
one OF the countries named 1 n the list are
to receive the benefit OF the reduction,
whether imported direct or through any
OF the other countries named In the list.
This settles the question of transportation
II. bond so far as these countries are Con-
Carned, and means that French. German
OF Austrian, goods may be imported via
Great Britain, or Bri fish goods via France,
Germany, and SO forth, without losing
tie benefit Of the reduction. This does not,
however. refer to importations from any
OF these countries by the way OF the
United States, which must still be ''con
,tinnous'- that is, transported in bond
without the bulk being broken.

Contrary TO expectation, the miners con
vacation at Columbus ad iourned without &C
ton on the proposition to accept the So
cent wage rate offered by the operators.
President Ratchford and other leaders,
nevertheless believe that an aceonmoda-
tiCn viii be reached On that basis within
the next two or three days. The opposing
forces appear TO be getting nearer together
thaa heretofore and there are eIcoura ging
prospects for an honorable peace. One i'm
portant consideration that makes in this
direction is the probably immediate sue
cess OF the conformity agreement among
operators. The adoption of this convention
would &C a great way toward removing
nauses of friction between employers and
their men. 1t would assure honest meas
1rcment under supervision OF the miners.
IL would do away with the swindling corr
pany stores audit would put an end to the
ricious truck payment system, su bsti-
luting cash wages at short intervals. As
Tar as we understand the rock bottom mer
Its OF the war, the union miners would be
very well satisfied with SIS cents a ton un
dct the provisions of the uniformity treaty

Memphis, Sept. g. Miss Lulie 4. Lytle,
q necress. twenty three years OF age, was
admitted 20 the bar yesterday. She is per-
haps the only living negress In America
who is licensed to practice law.
Miss Lyle was born in Tennessee, but
her parents moved to Topeka, where her
father figured in politics and made money
i'm business. She was given the fun benefit
OF the local schools, aud in 1892, because
of her intelligence and diligence, WAS
made engrossing clerk OF the Kansas legis-
lature
She decided then TO study law and in
1895, entered central college, at Nash
vile, which offers advantages to her race.
4 diploma from that school entities the
holder To admission To the bar She fin
isncd there this year, and secured the
formallty of certificate OF good chaf-

AS New Orleans dispatch today puts il,
the epidemic of quarantine still continues,
Int the epidemic of yellow fever is not
much in evidence. Generally, throughout
the South, the scare is subsiding, and the
ability OF the Federal aud State health au-
thorities 10 confine the disease to its pres
ent location aud there stamp il out is-not
uauch DOUBTED. OF course there yet remains
the chance that some of thu late visitors to
Ocean Springs who have gone home yet
may develop the fever, but even this is not
considered a serious danger. Ocean Springs
is almost exclusively patronized as a sum-
ner resort by people ia Mobile, New Or
leans and other nearby places. 1t is al
most exclusively "a local resort, and, hence.
il is not probable that those who have
left it before the quarantine was de-
clared. can have scattered veryfa or wide
ly over the Southern or any other states.
II any cases eveutuate amo NC them, il will
almost certainly be in Mobile OF New Or
leans where the authorities are pre- pared
to handle and isolate them at once.

Half-witted "Dutch" Weaver Ties
Tormeptor to the TRICK.
Lancaster, Pa, Sept. a.-"Dutch" weav-
er, a halfwitted fellow, became angered
yesterday at some boys who were teasing
him. Hecaught James Keerner, eight years
old, near the depot, carried him TO a lonely
spot, gagged him with handkerchief and
then bound him TO the railway track.
One of the boys notified Mrs. Keemer
that Dutch had her boy, and she reached
the place where he was tied just in time
to release him before a local train dashed
around a curve. Only "Dutch's'' condi-
ton prevented lynching.

Declared


Constantinople, April little
Council of Ministers after a session
at the Palace to-day, declared that
war had broken out on the frontier
OWING to the incursion by the Greeks
on Turkish territory, and Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish military com.
mander, was ordered to assume the
offensive.
The situation is summed up in a
detailed circular sent this evening
to the Turkish representatives abroad,
This circular recalls the weeks inva-
sion of Turkish territory, and stated
that the new incursion was participant
ed in by Greek troops thereby estab-
fishing war.
The circular expresses hope that
the powers in a spirit Of Justice, will
agree that the entire responsibility
for the war falls on Greece. Turkey
has no idea Of conquest, the circular
adds, and as a fresh proof of pacific
sentiments the Sublime Borte offers
to retire the Turkish troops on the
frontier if Greece will retire her forces
from the frontier and from Crete.
