TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED.
NICARAGUA CANAL CAN NOW
BE BUILT.
Corea Confers With Secretary Hay
and Signs Artisles Which Re-
move All Obstacles.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-Secretary
Hav this morning, for the government OF
the United states and Senor Corca, the
Nicaraguan minister. for his own govern
ment. signed a treaty whereby the latter
government comedies to the government
of the United States the necessary rights
and privileges within her bestowal for
The construction of the Nicaraguan ca
nal.
This action is taken I'm anticipation Of
congressional action upon the pending
Nfcarlgllan bill and the IIay-Pauncefote
treaty. Pending the submission Of the
document 20 the senate, which body
must ratify the agreement, its terms Will
not be made public. 1t is understood,
however that generally. Nicaragua
grants TO the United states government
the exclusive right to construct and op-
crate the canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific across Nicaragua, including
the free use of the san Juan river, and
of Lake Mauagua, as part OF the river
course. Nicaragua is also to rid her
self of any outstanding treaties that
would tend in any way TO al !dge the
privileges to be acquired by the United
States It is understood that Nicaragua
comedies to the United States fun au-
thority to police the canal. Nicaragua
is to receive in compensation certain
amount of securities of the canal con-
struction company, and although it is not
now possible to learn the figure set down
in the treaty, it is believed to approximate
5000. 600
The state department has already en-
tered into an agreement on similar lines
with the republic of Costa Rica. This
was because Costa Rica has established 4
claim to the right bank of the San Juan
river. which must of necessity form about
a third of the length of the canal. should

The Iceland Dinner.

In Iceland the natives dinner usual
ly consists of dried fish and butter.
The fish is ling or cod, which, when
caught, is split open and then hung up
on lines by the seashore to dry in the
cCld winds and hct sun. When thus
preserved they will keep CTR years, be-
ing 2s hard as the neither mlllstone.
When wanted for dinner, the fish is
well hammered by a stone nallet and
then cut up into strips. In this state
they are eaten, but 1t is said that it
needs an Icelanders teeth 10 get
through the meal. The butter is not
spread on the fish, but the two are
taken alternately first a mouthful of
fish, then mouthful of butter. II
