NOTHING MORE TO DO.
Building of the Nicaraguan Canal Is
Now Up to Congress

Washington, Nov 1S.-Nothing more re-
mains to be done as far as the canal
treaty is concerned before the senate
or, indeed, until the treaty shall have been
ratified, rejected or amended. If it
should be ratified the state department
treaties with Costa RIGA and Nicara qua.
for which it has already arranged in pro-
tocOls pending before the senate, which
will permit the canal to be constructed
and prescribes the terms upon which the
consent OF Nicaragua and Costa Rica is
given. 1t was in anticipation of this ac-
ton, it is presumed. that the Nicara guam
government only recently denounced the
treaty of trade and commerce with the
United States. This treaty contained sec
struction which are to be replaced by
more modern provisions.
There was no particular ceremony con-
nected with the signature today of the
important convention. Lord Pauncefote
had been indisposed for several days past
could be signed before the end of the cur
rent week However, to the surprise of
the state department officials, the ambas-
sador came to the state department about
noon and the work of signing the treaty
was soon dispatched. The scene was the
historic dip1 omatic chamber of the state
department and beside the principals, Sec
rotary Hay and Lord Pauncefote there
were present Mr.. Sidney Smith, chief of
the diplomatic bureau of the state depart
ment; Mr.. Wyndham, the second secretary
of the British embassy, and William Gym
and Richard SAVIOR, the secretary of
states private messengers, whose duty it
was to attend to the affixing of the seal.
The treaty was signed by Secretary Hay
with a gold pen in silver penholder,
other conventions and is the personal
property of the secretary.

tween Washburn and NEEDLES.

Arrangements may be made for an
other football game here between the
Kansas Medics and the Washburn foot
ball teams. All the football enthusi-
asts of the city are anxious to see an

doubt. The Medics are willing to play
another game, but owing to a game pre-
viously scheduled with a medical col
lege team at Kansas City. may not be
able to play here Saturday.
Manager Huron,of the Washburn col
lege team, said this morning: I'VE are
willing to meet the Medics again We
feel that we should do so in the inter
est of the game here. We do not care
so very much whether they beat US or
whether we beat them. but we feel that
another game should be played to brace
up the interest of the game here
Manager Thatcher of the NEEDLES team
this morning expressed himself as will
ling to play on any other date after the
Thanksgiving game with the Atchison
Athletic club, provided they were COM
PEELED to play at Kansas City next Sat

WHO GOT THE WATCHES
Theft Occurred Right in the
Police Station.

The latest scandal which has cropped
out in the police department is the mys-
terious disappearance of three watches,
the property of D. Capland, the pawn
broker, whose shop was burglariZed by
the negro, Marion Ottery.
Policeman Abe Henderson at once took
up the case, ran Ottery to earth and
captured him together with portion of
the stolen goods. Henderson brought
this stuff, consisting of three valises, a
number of razorS, several pairs of
trousers and some other clothing and
dozen watches to the police station.
Another watch was taken from the per-
son of the prisoner, making a total of
thirteen CapIand identified all the
property, especially the watches and
left everything with the police pending
Ottery's trial, as they were to be used
look at his beloved goods he at once
missed three of the watches; one of
them ladies' gold watch with a chain
attached, which he claims to be worth
$25. 90.
He at once raised a howl of agony,
and called the attention of Chief Stahl,
who became greatly agitated and said:
Don't tell this, and I will make it good
myself"
Capland made the required promise,
but could not keep it He tells it wher-
ever he gets a listener, but always adds,
cause the chief says he will fix it by me
all right" He says he is going to hold
the chief to his bargain, and if the
clocks" do not return to the grip in the
same mysterious manner that they left it
the good work done by Henderson in
cost Chief Stahl a lot of trouble and
some cash.
The chief would no doubt rather pay
three times the amount than have it

SHE WANTS HER LANDS.
Queen Lii Will Make Another Effort
to Recover Her Own

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Former
Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, who ar
rived here Saturday, is combining bust
ness and pleasure. Besides seeking a
recovery of health she has come to
consult with the federal authorities rel
ative to the crown lands in Hawaii.
These were sequestrated by the revolu-
tionary government at the time the
monarchy was overthrown and no at
tempt has since been made to reim-
burse her for the loss of the crown
revenues, amounting to some 100000
year.
The territorial legislature passed a bill
appropriating $250,000 for the crown
lands, but President Dole vetoed the bill
on the ground that there was not suffi-
cient money in the treasury to pay it.
Subsequently the legislature offered to
grant her a pension of $4,000 year,
but she refused to accept the money for
the reason that it would place her on
the list of charitables a step that was
exceedingly repugnant to her.
Before the annexation of the islands
she was advised by competent attorneys
to submit her claims to England for
arbitration.
The crown lands are over a million
acres in extent and are worth about
SIS 900, 600.

LOST A REMONSTRANCE.
Streets and Walks Committee Finds a
Paper Missing.

The streets and walks committee has
discovered that an important paper
which was presented to the council is
missing. 1t is the remonstrance which
was presented against the paving of
Morris avenue. When the committee
considered the Morris avenue paving
last Thursday and voted to recommend
it, the remonstrance was not taken into
consideration because it was not with
the papers.
The committee will in all probability
be called together for a reconsideration
of the Morris avenue matter A new
remonstrance Will be presented.
City Engineer McCabe said today.
IF any of those who are friendly to the
pavement think that they are helping
the chances of the pavement by steal
ing the remonstrance, they are greatly
mistaken. 1 believe that the fact that
this suspicion has been cast on the
transaction will make it more difficult
to secure the naVement',

REFLECTIONS OF A BAcHELo1

[From the New York Press.l
Some men are so thoughtful they buy
boxes of cigars for their wife's birth
day.
Some people are so enterprising they
don't have to go to the devil; he comes
to them.
Whether it is dignified for a man to
carry a brown-paper bundle in the
street depends a lot on whether it is
his wife's or a pretty womans he is
walking with.
There is nothing a man grumbles
about so much as the way his wife S
tongue wags, but he is so inconsistent
that he never thinks of marrying a
tongue-tied woman.
You can get old fast enough without
worrying about whether your wife's
rich uncle is going to cut her out of his
will because he knows you voted a diff
ferent ticket from him
