Treaty Does Not Give
the United States
Right to Fortify.
Waterway Will Be Governed
by Rules Framed on
Suez Lines.
All Powers VIII Be Interested in Up
holding the Convention Just
Completed and Approved
by Cabinet Members.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL BUREAU, 1906 G STREET. N.
w, WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Reports Of
the new canal treaty between the United
States and Great Britain state that the
United States is given the right to for
tify the canal. This is not true. In the
new treaty Great Britain will agree to an
American guaranty of neutrality of the
canal, subject to the rules. and regula-
ticns similar to those signed by her and
other powers for the free navigation of
the Suez canal.
The treaty will make no mention Of for
ti7cations. The absence of any prohibi-
ton would seem to establish the right of
this Government to erect Notifications if
it sees fit to do so, but the administration
has idea that this will ever be done,
and it is a question whether such action
would not be in contravention of the
rules framed on Suez lines.
To Be Open at All Times.
These rules provide that the canal shall
be free and open in time Of war, as
ia tiT11s Of peace. to vessels of commerce
and war Of all nations, on terms of equal
ity, so that there shall be no discrimina-
ton against any nation or its citizens or
subjects in respect of conditions or
charges Of traffic or otherwise; that
the canal shall never be blockaded, nor
any right of war or act Of hostility be
committed within it.
Belligerent vessels are prohibited from
revictualing in the canal; tley shall not
disembark troops, munitions Of war or
warlike material, and shall not remain in
water adjacent to the canal within three
miles Of either end longer than twenty
four hours, and finally, the appliances of
the canal shall in time Of war enjoy COM
plete immunity from attack or injury by
belIigerents.
Approved by the Cabinet.
An Official pointed out that the new
treaty would not provide for the adhe-
sion Of all governments to its terms, and
the incorporation therein Of the Suez ca
nal regulations would have the same ef-
feet and cause them to be interested in
maintaining the neutrality Of the water
way.
The treaty has not yet been finally for
mulated, nor has it been accepted by the
British Cabinet. Leading members Of the
Cabinet have cordially approved its terms
and will vote on their acceptance before
November !. Lord PaUncefote will then
come to Washington, where the treaty
VIII be finally drawn and signed.

HUME AND PILLsBURY.


mo, sir was Hume's ready reply.
Have you suggested names of parties
who would or who would not make affi-
davits in this case?" Hume, said he had
not, and then continued:
Personally, 1 have nothing against
Judge Noyes, but on account of my
knowledge of what I have suffered at the
hands of Noyes, Woods and Mckenzie in
making the one mistake of my life, 1
have interested myself in this case. Judge
Noyes has done much to provoke my off,
ciaI interest in the matter. 1 did not be-
lieve him honest"
Mclaughlin did not like this. so he
moved to have the matter obIiterated
from the record as not responsive to his
questions
Did Mr.. Fircke, Mr.. Johnson or Ken
meth M. jackson ever say they would see
that you would be immuned from prose-
cution for the making of the affidavit for
Mr.. Pillsbury?'
mo, sir
did you know of letter written and
signed by Fincke or by johnson or by
jackson, addressed to Pillsbury, detailing
service you had been to them in getting
the facts and asking Pillsbury to use his
offices to protect you in the district of
the northern part of the country"
81 never knew CT it, never sought pro-
lection of any kind because 1 committed
no offense. If it was written 1 can con-
ceive of a reason for it, for 1 knew of
change in the atmosphere at home which
changed the opinion of these men in re-
gard ito my conduct in Nome in the sum-
mer of 1900"
Mclaughlin then asked Pillsbury for the
letter, if he had it in his possession The
latter said that he did not recollect it, but
if he had he would certainly produce 1t.
Mclaughlin wanted to make doubly sure,
so ne asked Pillsbury in the event of his
having sent the letter in question to
Washington would he look over his letter
copies and favor him with a reproduction
Pinsbury was trebly sure that he sent
nothing to Washington.
'I recall this much" said Pillsbury.
private papers were sent to me, but they
were lost from the mail or maybe stolen.
Mclaughlin pressed the Washington
business further, but Plhsbury fatty de-
MED any connection with the Washington
end of things.
PROTECTED HIS CLIENTS.
The rest of the afternoon was consumed
by an attempt on Pillsbury's part to show
NV redirect examination that Hume's
reasons for his withdrawal from the
Noves-McKenzie combination were found
ed on the broad principles of honesty.
! "At the time 1 acquiesced to McKen-
zie's propositions said Hume, lit was
only a resort to protect my clients. At
that time 1 did not anticipate the full
SCOPE of the scheme. In course of three
weeks. when L discovered the full facts
and meaning, 1 then tried to retire and
practically did retire from any connection
with Mckenzie, Wood and that entire
combination
! Hume also wished to correct the state
ment that the affidavit of October 20 was
not founded on fact in it's entirety. He
admitted that some of the statements were
true, but he said that on the date of the
execution he was tolrrying the burden of
the law office, and it was just possible he
! signed without reading the paper clearly.
Pillsbury then took the witness and

SOUTH CHICAGO STRIKE.

Chicago Aug. ia general sensa-
ton was created among the steel
workers of the Illinois Steel Works
of South Chicago when twelve of the
Amalgamated men quit work and de-
cided to join the general strike of the
steel workers. These men heretofore
have steadtastly refused to obey Presi-
dent Skaters order to strike. As soon
as Vice President Davis of the fourth
district was informed of the step these
men had taken he wired President
Shaffer that If he would come to Chi

OF next Sunday, at which President
Shaffer will make a plea for loyalty to

PROTECTION FOR COFFEE.

In the midst of its rejoicing over free
trade with the Mainland Porto Rico
encounters sudden and unpleasant
awakening in connection with its cof-
tee industry. Coffee, which has been
mainstay of this new possession, Is
now brought into direct competition
with the South and Central American
product. The call for protection from
Porto Rico bids fair to be much more
iorceful than any request Hawaii can
offer since Porto Rico has more capi-
tai invested and ought to make fight
in which Hawaii should be a hearty
second.

plantations in Porto Rico averaging
about twenty-siX acres each. These

FOUR PRISONERS ESCAPE,

New Iberia. There was a jail de-
livery here last week, four prisoners
making their escape from the parish
Jail. There were nineteen prisoners
in the Jail, two Of whom were held
for their testimony in a Jeanerette
murder case. There were four others
help on minor charges. The remain
ing thirteen were put in the cages,
which crowded their capacity. The
six were allowed to remain in the
corridors. During the night the four
under charges succeeded in breaking
two looks, which admitted them to a
small chamber next the outside wall.
With some iron implement they made
their escape. The two witnesses re-
manned in the corridors, refusing to
go. All four Of the fugitives are un-
der charges Of petit larceny.
A movement is being orgnized here
to build New Iberia's second rice
mill. Plans are ABOUT perfected and
it is proposed to have the mill COM
.pleted in time for the coming crop.
Only local capitalists will be inter-
ested in the new mill.
Work is progressing rapidly upon
the new cotton mill building, not
withstanding the unfavorable wealth
err which has prevailed the greater
part Of this week.

If there were no such things In the

church at Mount Joy. Penn. would
be $500 richer than it is. The story is
queer, and therefore interesting. The
Rev. David Conway, while pastor Of
the church in question, was thrown
from his carriage in May. 1899, and
received injuries which soon caused
his death. When he realized that his
end was near. Mr.. Conway sent fol
o lawyer and made his will. giving
among other requests. $4,000 to his
church. He was at once told that such
q bequest, If made within 80 days
before death. was invalid. 80 he
signed an order directing the Mount
Joy National bank to turn over to H
W. Hartman. a member of the con
gregation, bonds to the value Of $500
which he had on deposit, and these
Mr.. Hartman was to transfer to the
church. Mr.. Hartman Immediately
endeavored to get the securities. but
the bank vaults were protected by 9
time lock. and they could not be
opened until the next morning. Mr.
Conway died in the night, while the
vault doors were still immovable, and
consequently, though the bank gave
the bonds to Mr.. Hartman as soon a.
it could. he was forced to hold them
until legal decision as to their proper
disposition could be secured. The de.
cision has just been rendered, and IL
Is that the securities must be added
to Mr.. Conway's estate and divided
according to the valid provisions O.
his will. The Presbyterian church nat
urally regards the case as hard one
and it's elders have their doubts
whether time locks are to be mum
