Chicago. Oct, G.-The Record Herald
this morning prints the following from
Walter WeIlmall, its Washington cor
respondent:
The United States and Great Brit
ain have reached an agreement con-
cerning the Isthnian canal question,
and the new treaty will be presented to
the Senate for its ratification early in
the coming session.
Mr.. Wellman says: II am now able
to give the substance of this treaty.
1t provides:
"First-For abrogation Of the old
Clayton-Bulwer treaty in toto.
"Second-For neutral Isthmian ca
nal, in case one be constructed by the
United States, open in time OF peace
to the ships of all nations upon equal
terms.
"1hird-This neutrality is guaran-
teed by the United States alone and
other maritime powers are not invited
to participate in such guarantee. Great
Britain is Incidentally one OF tie
guarantors, because she is Il party to
this treaty.
'.Fourth-In case of war. the United
States reserves the right to take such
steps for its own protection as it may
deem proper.
1T will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered 10 the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention and which led to its
rejection by the Senate. While the
principle of neutrality is asserted. the
United States alone guarantees that
neutrality, and no European powers
are invited to give their assent to 1t.
1T was this feature. more than any
other. which led to the defeat of the
former treaty. Many senators were
willing to join with Great Britain in
a guarantee Of the proposed new wa

III many ot the western and Midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost. but hundreds OF
folk-mostly poor-were washed out of
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great lost cattle, sheep and poultry.
and immense damage was done to all
kinds Of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad TO see what
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals of a per-
picked pig. which had got mixed up in
the boughs OF damson tree. Probably
it had been borne into the branches by
the rising food. When the waters

The navigation was easy, but slow.
Alec was cautious about going too fast
for fear of picking up a shoal and get
ting tightly Embedded on it, SO he kept
the ship under easy canvas, very often
brailing up our courses altogether, I'M
less there seemed every prospect of a
deep fairway.
Thirty -four days of this easy progress
brought us to the great cataract which
barred our farther advance. The pa
gan had told us of it beforehand, and
we heard the thunder Of the waters a
full day before we rose them. Anx-
ious, however, to satisfy ourselves that
the barrier really was impossible, we
held on until the current grew too
strong to force the ship against it I'M
der sail alone, and then we bore away
into a vast lagoon on the northern
bank, formed by the back swirl from
the fall, and dropped our anchor in the
midst of it.

that to the fire mountain, whose snowy

weary days!
But running through all this concert
of encouragement there was one re-
curing harmony which heartened us
and kept us constant to our search.
All the pagans with whom we spoke
of the golden city gave the same tale
with an infnitude Of conflicting EN-
bellishments. One would say that the
king was white like us. another that he
was bronze colored like themselves;
this one might say that he ate flesh,
and that one would swear that his food
was wholly vegetable, but all agreed
that the city lay by a great lake or on
an island in the midst Of it and that
the worship of the people somehow
conferred on the lake. And, greatest
spur of all to us hungry gold hunters,
all earnestly affirmed that the treas.
ures of the city were beyond the power
of man to count.
And why should we disbelieve the
tale? Cortes and his conquistadores
found just such another city and just
such another worship in Mexico, as
also did Pizarro and his crew Of ban
dts in Peru. No European had ever
trod those paths before them, and
when their ships touched the shore Of
the new world they had no better evil
dence than an Indian tale to show
them what empires lay beyond. Were
