ABROGATING THE TREATY.

As the Daily Mail anticipated, Presi- dent McKinley's recent references to the Nicaraguau canal were misunder- stood, in so far as they were inter preted as ignoring Great Britain's fn- tarests in that undertaking. Later news indicates that the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is the su3- ject Of anicable negotiations, and it is reasonable to assume that Lord Sails bury will not abandon any necessary uarantees for assuring the neutrality of the canal, failing some quid pro quo say. in the direction of reciprocity with Canada-London Mail.

DANGERS OF THE BOTTLE"

The importance of keep ing towns milk supply in healthy condition is forcibly shown by a report of the meet ing in London a few days ago Of tEe National Society fer the Prevention of Tuberculosis Diseases, at which Sir Richard Thorne, a d;sting guished Brit ish physician, said that the disease I-nsumEtion of the bowels has in creased 2S per cent among children in the last forty years. His explanation is that much of the milk supply comes from COWS afflicted with tuberculosis. Sir William Broadbent goes even fur ther and says that "the diseases of bones and joints to which children aye subject are probably also traceable to milk; humpback, hip-jcint diseases, of the knee, elbows, etc., Wlich crip- ple so many childrsn." The distinctive bacillus Of tubercle is found in the milk of the COW in one stage Of the dis case; and through the milk the malady is communicated to the infant con- sumer., As remedy it is sugges, ed that boiling the milk is usually eficac-
 
 in it may be destroyed by the applicl- ticn of much lower degree Of heat than that necessary to boil it, and when this methcd of sterilization is pursued the milk retains its natural taste. But neither boiling nor lesser heating will do any good if the milk is subsequently, exposed to the air in which tuberculous dust is floating about. Care in keeping it covered is essential. Strangely enough, none of the distinguished physicians seem to have referred to the growing modern practice Of feeding infants lon the bet tle.'' It is reasonable to presume that if mothers could be brought to see the dangers in it and to make the sacri- fees necessary to abolish it from the much Of the disease among would vanish.

Railroad men report that never in the history of railroading was the holi- day traffic so gIe3t as this year. Not only has the passenger traffic been enormous, but the shipment Of holiday goods has far and away exceeded all previous records. For a week previ- ous to Christmas every through train carried many passengers from the north and the south, the east and the west. The travel was so heavy that in many instances additional cars and even trains had to be put on. The rush, as a result Of the shipment of holiday goods by the express com panies, was enough to stagger the transportation facilities of a trunk line. and every bulging parcel seemed to breathe of prosperous times.

All the events predicted have c3me to pass eX cept that in the last two lines.) Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly, In the twinkling of an eye.
 Waters shall yet more wonders dc, Now strange, yet shall be true. The world upside down shall be, And gold will be found at roCt of tree. Through hills man shall ride, And no horse nor ass be at his side. Under wcl5tl1 man shall walk. Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black and green. Iron in the water shall float. As easy as a wooden beat. Geld shall -be found mid stone. In a land that's now unknown. Fire and water .hau wonders d., England shall at last admrt q Jew.

sat NJ Bertulus, the examining magistrate
who gave such strong testimony for prey :
fus yesterday, and Nine. Henry, widow ot
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who yesterday
taxed M. Bertuius with being Judas.
Colonel Picquart explained how he had
acquired the conviction that tine bordereau
was written by Esterhazy and how he
had ascertaned that the anti Dreytus
proofs were worthless. He began by de-
failing how he found out the existence Of
Esterhazy and his efforts to discover some
thing about him. The witness said he read
the address OF the petit bleu. He said he
was not acquainted with Esterhazy before
then and never had Esterhazy watched.
Previous to this the utmost efforts had
bean made 10 prove the contrary and TO
show Picquart knew Esterhazy before the
discovery of the petit bleu.
Ths colonel emphasized this point va
the view, as explained, OF showing how
certain newspapers had trayestled the

facts and he created mild sensation by
adding: II shall have occasion to point
out other and similar examples"
The witness then rebutted the charges
against him OF unnecessarily delaying the
prosecution of Esterhazy. He said his
object was to avoid arousing suspicion IN
regard 10 an officer who perhaps, was
entirely innocent.
What mistake" he added, would
have been avoided in 1894 had they acted
In the same way in regard to Dreyfus."
This remark caused murmurs Of approval
in court.
What the Witness gathered about Ester
hays character. he continued, created the
worst impression upon him, but he did
nothing to connect Esterhazy with any
act OF espionage. therefore he did not men
ton his suspicious. An agent, however
was ordered TO watch Esterhazy, who had
completely compromised himself through
his relations with an English company, Of
which he had agreed to become direc-
tor.
