COLOMBIA WILL GRANT
 EXTENSION OF TIME

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald Copyrighted, 1898, by James Cor
 don Bennett
 PANAMA. Colombia, Dec. 7.-I am in a position to state by the very highest authority that the statement from Washington to the effect that an ex- tension of time has been refused to the new canal company in which to con struct the canal is absolutely false.
 I have just seen a dispatch from Be- gotta which says the bill had passed it's second reading, but Congress having been called in extraordinary session for only twenty days. which time has al ready expired, the measure was laid over.
 Another dispatch states that in view of the paramount importance of tEe question the President will again con- yoke Congress to deal with the canal bill, when it is almost certain an ex- tension of time will be granted.

LOUISA DUGAN'S G
GRIEF
BECOMES ENGAGED TO PRIVATE
 ROBERT J. BROWN.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Dec. 7.-An army ness and then one of grief to pretty Louise Dugan of East Sedalia, and started a romance which had a most unhappy ending last night. When the war with Spain broke out, Robert J. Brown was doing well as an insurance agent in San Francisco, but he was anxious for a brush with the Dons, and joined the regular army. When his regiment passed through Sedalia last May, hundreds of pretty maidens were at the depot to wave tiny flags and cheer the boys in blue. Brown saw Miss Dugan and handed her hardtack upon which was written his name, with the request, Write to me-" A correspondence commenced and re- suited in an engagement.
 Brown was among the soldiers who faced shot and shell at San Juan Hill, where he was wounded while charging the Spanish trenches. When he recov cred from his wounds he was honor ably discharged for physical disability and then came direct to Sedalia, mak ing his home at the Dugan residence. While in the army he became a slave to drink He succeeded in hiding his failing from his bride to be, but it led him into using his employers money. Knowing that his shortage with the in surance company was liable to be dis covered at any moment he fled the city at the hour his bride expected to be married to him and the wedding party waited for him in vain. It was almost midnight before Miss Dugan would be- lieve that she had been deserted. Then she tainted and the guests departed.

 Boston

BOSTON, Dec. 7.-At a meeting of the Anti -Imperialist League executive committee to-day, a letter was read from John Sherman, saying:
 My hope is that the Senate of the United States will reject the treaty and leave the people. of the islands free from the shackles of Spain and the distant domina- tion of the United States I sympathize with Aguinaldo in his ambition to found a republic in the China Sea near the equator, and hope he may become the Washington of a new nation. absolutely fiuence.
 Bishop Potter of New York and James G. Carter of New York were added to the list of vice presidents of the league. More than 500 petitions pro- testing against an imperialistic policy regarding Spain's conquered posses sions have been received at the Wash 1ngton and Boston offices of the league. each petition bearing many signatures.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT
 GROWERS PROTEST
Petition Against Reciprocal Agree
 ment With Greece Laid Before the President.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Each member of the California delegation received to- day from the California Fruit Growers Association protest against the pro- posed agreement with Greece concerning fruit importations. Greece has been en- deavoring for some time to reach a re- ciprocal agreement which would give her entrants and raisins certain advantages The Zante currant people of California are therefore protesting against the conclusion of any reciprocal agreement which would admit the raisins of Greece by the payment of a minimum duty.
 Senator Perkins called on the Presi- dent and Secretary of State and presented the remonstrance to-day.
 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.--At the regular meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce to-day a resolution was adopted earnestly protesting against the negotiation of any treaty or the making of any agreement involving any change in the tariff with reference to entrants or other fruits. This action was taken be- cause of the reference made by President Mckinley in his message to the complaint of the Government of Greece that the duty imposed on entrants of that country was unjust, the product not coming into competition with any domestic product.

HOUSE MAY DEFEAT
 THE MORGAN BILL

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Everything is ready for the big fight over the Nicaraguan canal bill. At special meeting of the Nica- raguan Canal Committee this morning it was decided to report the Morgan bill to the Senate at once and to press it for immediate consideration. Not discouraged by the gloomy outlook in the House the friends of the measure are combining their forces for prompt and vigorous campaign in the Senate They believe they will succeed, but with Speaker Reed arrayed in the opposition in the House they have almost de- spaired of securing action by that body during the present session. Intervi aws I have had with leading members dur ing the last few days indicate that the fight for favorable action in the Hous. is hopeless.

BELIEVE THEY CAN PURCHASE
 FREEDOM.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MANILA, Dec. 7.-The native press continues to advocate independence and reimbursement to the United States of the amount to be paid Spain for the Philippines The Independencia thinks this course the only just one. It 1n- sists that the Filipinos have aided the Americans solely because they believed they were fighting for independence. The paper quotes literally from Presi- dent McKinley's last speech in Chicago to support it's contention that the Americans are pledged to give the Filipinos independence.
 Aguinaldo and his principal advisers fully recognize the importance of strong protectorate in some form. One of the advisers has even ventured the assertion that if the Filipinos were granted independence in accordance with the demand of the leaders the United States would be asked to estab- fish a protectorate, as otherwise the Philippines must sooner or later become the prey of a less liberal-minded coun- try.
 This statement is borne out by the at- titude of the better class of Filipinos in the vicinity of Manila. The numer- ous stories as to hostility felt and dis played on their part toward the Ameri- cans are without foundation. The United States authorities expect on the part of the natives a peaceful accept ance of the inevitable.
 The United States transport New port, bearing General Miller and staff and the First Battalion of the Twen- tieth Kansas Regiment, with the Wyoming Light Battery, which left San Francisco on November 8, arrived to-day, closely following the City of Puebla, which arrived yesterday with Lieutenant Colonel Childers, twenty five officers and 600 men, including five companies of the First Tennessee, Troop A of the Nevada Volunteer Cav airy, a detachment of recruits for the Twenty-third Infantry and a detach- ment for the California Heavy Artil- lery.
 To provide for the accommodation of these newcomers will necessitate the transfer of number of United States troops outside the limits of the city proper.

cessionary incidents to a corporation chartered for such great purpose.
 Attention is then called to the fact that the concession provides for the submission of any dispute to arbitra- tion, and it is claimed that this provi- sion operates to prevent any arbitrary action on the part of Nicaragua.
 Dwelling upon Nicaragua's course in the matter, the committee says:
 How this unexampled condition is to be dealt with otherwise than by an express and determined attitude on the part of the United States is a question that carries with it the danger of seri- ous embodiment in the near future. If Nicaragua is not held to the per formance of her agreement. years will elapse and many dangers will be en- countered before even a start can be made toward the construction of a canal"

PrOpagatin@ the Rose.

The first matter for attention is the
wood from which the cuttings are to
be made. It must neither be- too hard
nor too soft. To be sure of getting it
at about the right stage, make up the
cuttings from the flower shoots or
stalks at the terminus of which the
flower is borne, just at the time the
flower naturally willis and the petals
fall. 1t is not necessary at all in
making the cuttings to have am eye,
or joint it might be called, at the end
of the cutting which enters the sand,
as is often supposed. Make the cut
tings about two and one-haTf inches
in length, using a sharp knife, and in
cutting let the stroke be slightly slant
ing. The ends of the cutting should
be cut clean and smooth, and not mash
ed or bruised in any way. Let several
leaves remain on each cutting, but trim
off the tips xof the outer leaves. Now
procure a saucer or pan Of some sort
deep enough to hold about two inches
of sand. After putting it in the sand
to a depth OF about two inches, water
heavily untilit is thoroughly soaked.
With a knife make several cuts one
and one-fourth inches deep across tbs
sand and in these missions insert the
cuttings, pinching the sand about the
base of each cutting as it is put in.
When the pan is filed with the cut
tings about an inch apart, or perhaps
"a little more, set the pan in full sun
light, there to remain every day during
the roofing process. The only opera
ton necessary each day while roofing
is to keep the sand thoroughly satur-
ated with water. Neglect this one day
and the chances are that the whole
lot will be spoiled. rom Woman's
