EXPOSITION CLOSES.
End of BuTaIO's Big shOw-A Net Loss
of $4,OOO,OOO, of Which Com
tractors Lose $I,OOO,OOO.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Standing at
the triumphal bridge at midnight Sat
urday, John G. MiEburn pressed an
electric button which eXtinguished
the lights at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton. Bands played and thousands
cheered as the lights faded to a red
glow and then to darkness. Around
Mr.. Milburn were the men and women
who, as managers, investors and en-
ployes, had worked for the success Of
the fair, only to see it result in loss
of over 100000.
The total attendance, exclusive of
farewell day, was 8,179,674, which in
cluded passes. How far this fell be-
low the expectations of the eXposi-
ton promoters may be judged from
the fact that the exposition paid pre-
miums on a blanket accident policy
on 100000 paid admissions for the
season. Many wagers were made
that the attendance would exceed 49,
100000, and others that it would ex-
coed 25,000,000 and 30,OO0,OOO.
The stockholders sustain com.
plete loss. The holders of 100000
second mortgage bonds will get no re.
turn. The holders of the first mort
gage bonds will recover so per cent.
of their money. Contractors who put
up the buildings will lose $1,000, OOO
because the fair had no assets to pay
their claims. Concession holders lost
money, with two or three exceptions,
IL
money-maker was the cyclorama Of
the Johnstown food, despsed and
scorned by investors, which closes the
season 100000 to the good.
At II o'clock p. m. Saturday Presi
dent Milburn and the directors of the
exposition assembled in the temple
OF music for farewell meeting. All
the heads of departments and repre-.
sentatives of state and foreign gov.
ernments were present. Mr.. Milburn
delivered a short address of farewell
and little before midnight walked tc
The triumphal causeway. One min.
ute before midnight eight buglers
stationed on the top of the electric
tower sounded taps, and just at Il
A' -hliDulu Goucneu the button
which ended the illumination. Short.
~ afterward the cable CARRYING the
electric power was cut so the lights
could never be turned on again.
The great snowstorm of last April
was severe blow to the exposition
An immense amount of work was IN.
done and work on the grounds and
buildings was delayed for a week
Strenuous efforts were made to make
up the lost time, but on May a vast
amount of work remained undone and
the formal opening of the exposition
was postponed until May 20. The la.
mentable tragedy in the temple OF
music, which robbed the nation of
beloved president, was another blow
to the Pan-American. The attend.
ance had been increasing steadily IN
to the date of the assassination Of
President Mckinley. The gates were
closed for two days, and when thew
reopened there was a drop of u per
cent. in the attendance, and no i'm.
provement followed.

suppIie. Reach Innurgentn.

Manila, Nov. 4.-AdVices from Cat
balogan, Samar, say it is well known
that, in spite of the fact that all ports
of Samar are closed, supplies still
reach the insurgents. Most of this
work is done during dark nights by
small boats from the island of Leyte.
Every available gunboat is now en-
deavoring to prevent this. The cap
ture Of Lukban's commissary has
proved a great blow to the insurrec-
ton, as it renders future supplies
very precarious.

snImon,s Tremendous Jump.

One of the directors of the Nor
wegian fisheries has been endeavor-
ing to discover the height salmon
will leap when clearing a waterfall
which obstruets its passage upstream.
Masts were placed below the fall to
insure accurate measurements. 1t is
stated that a fish can leap to the
height of 20 feet. When a fish failed
to clear the fall at one bound it re-
manned in the falling water, and then,
with rapid twist of the body, gave a
spring and was successful.

Never Objected to Canal.
One of the most responsible official

Une OF Jhe most Responsible ofhci4Is
connected with these and the earlier
negotiations, said:
1--WE never really objected to the con-
struction Of the canal, but we did and do
object to a cavalier abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t was In that
spirit that Lord Lansdowne couched his
reply to the United States senate's rejec-
tIon of the last y-Pauncefote treaty. 1t
was not what you wanted to do. but the
nasty way you said it, that was the chief
reason for our opposition. Since then we
have been approached In a rational, polite
manner, and we have again endeaYored to
substitute for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty a
treaty that will enable America to carry
out design which, in broad sense, will
doubtless benefit the whole world"

from kidney trouble for years, and it
was not until a short time ago it was

be beneficial in such cases, but showed
no improvement.

Has Treaty with Him.


London, Nov. 4.-The first official
month in relation to the Nicaragua
canal has been obtained by the press.
1t confirms the fact that Lord Paunce-
fote. the British ambassador to the
United States, who landed in New
York Saturday, has with him the
draft of new treaty, abrogating the
ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty, which is in
every particular satisfactory to Lord
Salisbury's cabinet. Since a represen-
tative of the press interviewed Lord
Pauncefote in London not one word
officially authorized has been given
out here with reference to the canal.
The editorials which have appeared
in England have been based entirely
upon dispatches from the United
States. This is explained by the
rather astonishing announcement
that all negotiations up to the pres
ent day have been entirely unofficial
from a strictly diplomatic point of
view, and that on pourparIers only
depend the hopes generally shared for
a successful bridging over of the
diplomatic difficulty. These pourpar-
lers, however, have been particularly
searching
The state department does not re-
quire to see a copy of the important
document Lord Pauncefote carries in
order to learn its terms, though, Off
cially, negotiations will only com
mence when the ambassador reaches
Washington. Until that time the ex-
act conditions of the new convention
are withheld.
Though it is admitted that Great
Britain has agreed to put the Clayton
Bulwer treaty to one side and to &C.
quiesce in the construction of the
canal by and under the control of the
United States, this concession from
Lord Lansdowne's original contention
has not been granted without some
real or fancied advantage to Great
Britain. 1t would not be fair to say
that a quid pro quo constituted the
main feature of the protracted pour
parlers, but that it will directly or in
directly result, is firmly established in
the minds of the members of the cab
met.

Washington, Nov. An view of the
return Saturday to the United States
of Lord Pauncefote and the imme-
date resumption of negotiations,
which in this case are to put into the
concrete form of a treaty the PROPOSE
tons agreed upon by the govern
ments of the United States and Great
Britain as basis of a convention to
replace the HayPauncefote treaty of
last year, it may be proper to state
upon the highest official authority
that there is absolutely no other ques-
ton than that of the Isthmian canal
involved in the negotiations. Fur
ther, it is stated that no demand has
been made by the British government
for any compensation whatever for
the REIMBURSEMENT of it's joint rights
in the control of such a canal. The
construction of the canal was consid-
cred by both nations a desirable thing
for the world at large, and that
thought was at the bottom of the
negotiations.

TREATY BROKEN OFF
An Unexpected Move by Govern.
ment of Nicaragua.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The govern.
ment of Nicaragua has terminated the
treaty under which the United States
was empowered to construct an inter.
oceanic canal across the territory of
Nicaragua. This action has been con-
veyed to the state department by the
Nicafaguan minister for foreign af.
fairs.
That officer declares that the de-
nunciation in no wise affects the
friendly relations between the two
countries and the Nicaraguan govern
ment desires the conclusion of new
treaties.
Beside the treaty Of friendship, COM
merce and navigation of 1867 thus de-
nOunced, the same note conveys the de-
nunciation of the extradition treaty of
1870 between the United States and Nj
caragua. Under the terms of the de.
nunciation the frst-named treaty, COW
ering the right to construct and guar.
antee a canal, the convention will ex-
pire October "a, 1902, which is one year
from the date the notice was received
at the state department. The extra
dition treaty terminates May "a next
as provided in the convention.
The Nicaraguan minister's note con-
veys absolutely no Information as to
the motives which inspired the Nicara-
guam government to denounce these
two treaties, nor has Mr.. Murray, Unit
ed States minister to Nicaragua,
thrown any light upon the subject. 1t
may be recalled, in affecting the treaty
Of 1867, that before submitting the
Hay-pauncefote treaty before con-
gress last year, Secretary Hay drew up
a set of protocols with the minister for
Nicaragua and the minister for Colon
bia, whereby these officers bound their
governments to negotiate treaties with
the United States for the necessary
concessions under which to construct
and control canals in the event that
congress should authorize the begin
ming of such work.
