GREAT BRITAIN cEDEs HER RIGHTS

Affairs.

Will Have No Voice In Nicaragua Canal
Affairs.
WASHINGTON, DC. (Special).-The United
States and Great Britain have reached al
amicable agreement respecting the opera
tions of the ClaYton-Bulwer treaty as al
fecting the right OF construction and con.
troll by the United States OF the proposed
Nicaragua Canal.
The result marks the termination OF con.
ferences between the officials OF the State
Department and Lord Pauncefote of fully
q years duration. y
Great Britain agrees to modification OF
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, by which she
practically relinquishes any claims re-
specting a dual control of the Nicaragua
Canal after it shall have been constructed.
The result, therefore. Is to eliminate that
feature OF the treaty bearing on the sub.
ject OF dual control and to leave the Unfted
States free to construct endthereafter con.
troll this great interoceanic waterway.

HOME AND CHILDREN BURNED.
-Four Little Ones Cremated at q Fire Al
Bourt0nville.

KAroYAH. N. Y. {Specia).-The house Of
George Finans, at Bourtonville, about four
miles west of this village. was destroyed
by fire and four OF Finans's children were
burned to death. The children were Jes-
sic. aged five years: Jennie, aged four
years; Warren, aged two years, and Carrie,
aged nine months. The parents were away
from the house at the time.
The supposition Is that some of the elder
childreD,-while playing with fire, started
the blaze, and that they were overcome by
smoke before they realized their danger.
Only a few charred bones we're found in
the ashes OF the building. Mrs. Finans
was badly burned by approaching the

BARNWELL Wi!HDRAHS
Leaving Col. Elliott in Undispated
Procession.

Special to The Colum5ia State
Charleston, May 3-Msj. Joseph
W. Bsrnwell has Withdrawn from the
race for Congress and Colonel
William Elliott will probably have 70
opposition in the Democratic pri-
mary. The decision to withdraw
was reached after a conference last
night and it was announced today.
The withdrawal occas!oned some sur
prise but it wss not altogether ur-
looked for. The Barnwell support
ers declared their intention to cap.
ture the county convention an1 their
failure to do so, showed their weak
ness and forced Maj Barnwell to the
conclusion that he could not secure
a majority sufi:ien in Charleston TO
overcome the msjority that Col.
Elliott was expected to get in the
country and bring to Charleston;
hence the withdrawal. Mi. Barn.
well has many friends and his disn:-
fed and msuly campaign, although
- ,r,, l>.;of bo, c,rvo5 ~ oftroot
many people to him. His with
drawal is of course regretted by
some If his friends. Col. Ell:otfs
supporters are correspondingly elated.
The withdrawal of Maj Barnwell
does away with the election to fill
his unexpired term and the race be-
tween T. W. Blcot and Edward W.
Hughes is consequently off.
