Chances For OonclusIon of Treaty

Washington May 12.-Due notice has been taken by the officials of the semi-de- claration from London respecting the chances for the conclusion of a treaty that will settle all questions at issue between the United States and Canada. All that can be said Is that the administration will be extremely gratifed if Sir Julian Paunce- fote returns to the United States with new instructions that will meet the difficulties which bafhed the first committee. As matters stand 1t is realized that nothing can be expected to result from a further meeting of the committee. The dispatch appears to convey an intmation that the British government has about reached the conclusion that the only method by which these vexatious issues can be adjusted is by direct negotiations before the reports of the governments of Great Britain and of the United States.

The Nashville Hissed

St. Louis, May 12.-Despite the rainy weather 10000 people inspected the Nash vile today. The only incident to mar the smoothness of the day was the unusual spectacle of American citizens hissing an American gunboat.
 Because one ferry company has the mo- noply of transporting visitors to the Nash vile, a steamboat from a river company today advertised to transport visitors free of charge. The first boat load numbered 400 people. When the steamboat reached the Nashville the captain sent a note to the commander asking to be allowed to un- load his passengers. Lieutenant Kuentzell appeared and refused to permit the passen- gers to go aboard Hot words passed be- tween the two officers and the passengers on the steamsoat, realizing they were not to be allowed to board the gunboat hissed the Nashville and her officers. After fur ther barley the steamboat returned to the wharf and the angry passengers landed.
 The officers and men of the Nashville are kept busy attending receptions.

Mail of the Olympia Directed to London,
 England.

Washington, May 12-"Send Olympia's mail to B. F. Stevens. No. Trafalgar Square, London, England" was the notice given out at the navy department today. This is the first formal indication that the famous flagship is coming home immedi- ately.
 Upon inquiry 1t was ascertained that Sec retary Long had last evening cabled Ad- miral Dewey permission to return at once to the United States. He has been relieved of the obligation of remaining at Manila until the Philippine commission completes its work. He is not even required to await the cessation of hostlites, but may start homeward at once. The notice. posted at \ the navy department indicates that the Olympia will not remain long enough to receive the next outward mail. The MT. Stevens referred to is the navy depart ment's agent at London to distribute all of the mail of the United States warships in European waters, so he will see to it that the Olympia receives hers as soon as she passes the Suez canal It is estimated at the navy department that Dewey will | reach the United States in time for a na- tional demonstration on the Fourth of July.
 
 steam, but nevertheless she should make the run to New York in about 55 days from Manila. That she Is to come to New York is nearly certain, as shown by the following response made by Secretary Long to the urgent message of invitation to Dewey from Mayor Van Wyck of New York. It may be stated that this was sent before { the notice was sent to Dewey that he might come home at once:
 Navy Department, Washington, D. C., May 11-Sir: am in receipt of your tele- gram with regard to the return of Dewey and expressing the desire that he arrive first in the country at New York. The time of his return has not been fixed and the department has taken no other action than to authorize his return whenever the con- dilion of the peace commission shall per- init. As to the route he shah take in re- turning, the department Is inclined to leave that to him. He has served with great ability, and must necessarily feel so much the effect of the arduous labors in a try ing climate and under trying circumstances tthat the department is disposed to let him govern himself in this respect largely by the consideration of his own personal con- yenience and wishes. It is understood how ever that Admiral Dewey will elect to re- turn to New York.
 every respectfully,
 JOHN D. LONG, Secretary of the Navy"

Senate Committed Examining Honey

Chicago, May 12.-The senatorial com mittee on pure food investigation devoted today to the subject of honey, and it was shown by expert testimony that not only was glucose used to great extent for adulterating articles of food, but that job bers were using fraudulent methods in handling the trade for honey substitutes It was also shown that glucose was not necessarily de1eterous to health when used as an adulteration.
 Oleomargarne and the baking powders had an inning and experts on those two articles of commerce declared the prejudice against them was based on ignorance and misrepresentation.

REGULARS WILL
 PUSH ID FRONT Volunteers Are Tired and Hun- dreds Of Them Are
 Sick.

Manila, May 8, via Hong Kong, May 12-- The First regiment Nebraska volunteer in- fantry is taking the unusual step of re- spectfully petitoning the division com mander. Major General Macarthur, to tenn porarily relieve them from duty at the front. The regiment is badly exhausted iu the campaign in which 1t has taken an active part, and not more than 200 men of the organization are at present fit for duty.
 On Sunday last 160 men of this regiment responded to sick call The men, in view of the facts. have prepared respectful me- morial to General Macarthur asking that their regiment be withdrawn for a short time from the fighting line, in order that they may recuperate. The memorial states that the men are willing to fight, but are in no condition to do so, owing to the strain of long marching, continual fighting and outpost duty, in which they have been en- gagged. It is added that many of the men have been unable to have their clothing washed for months past, having been com- pelled during all that time to sleep in their uniforms to be in readiness for fighting. The memorial adds that since February the regiment has lost 225 men in killed and wounded, and htty since the battle or Ma lolos
 Five volunteer regiments and battery of artillery are at San Fernando. They muster in all about 2,500 men. Many of the soldiers are in hospitals suffering from heat or other causes. The wounded were all suffering acutely and showed the ef- fects of exposure to the sun when they ar- rived. Three days rest has already work ed wonders.
 Since the army entered Malolos the sol- diers have had little water to drink except that which was brought on railroad trains from Manila, and that was of poor quality. The artesian wells at San Fernando are doing much toward making the men con- tented.
 Fresh troops are beginning to go to the front. Two battalions of the Seventeenth (regulars) that had been holding the lines about the city of Manila, will join Major MacArthurs division at San Fernando to- morrow, and one battalion of the same regiment will reinforce Major General Lawtons division near Bacoor. These troops will be replaced here by the Twenty first infantry regiment, which arrived from the United States on board the transport Hancock on yesterday.
