WILL CONTROL CANAL.
Treaty Which Insures Building of
Isthmian Waterway Agreed on.

= d
Chicago, Oct. IA Washington spe-
cial to the Record Herald says:
..The United States and Great Britain
have reached an agreement concerning
the isthmian canal question, and the
new treaty will be presented to the
senate for its ratification early in the
coming session. The treaty provides
S"1. For abrogation of the old Clayton-
Bulwer treaty in toto.
SO For neutral isthmlan canal, in
case one be constructed by the United
States, open in time OF peace to the
ships of all nations upon equal terms.
IS. This neutrality is guaranteed by
the United States alone, and other mar
itime powers are not invited to partic-
ipata In such guarantee. Great Britain
is inferentially one of the guarantors,
because she is a party to this treaty.
"A 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 to the old y-Pauncefote
convention and which led to its rejec-
stion by the senate.
While the principle of neutrality is as
serted, the United States alone guaran-
tees that neutrality, and no European
powers are invited to give their assent
to it.
1t was this feature more than any otf-
Ser which led TO the defeat for the former
treaty. Many senators were willing to
ioir with Great Britain in guarantee
Of the neutrality of the proposed new
water way, because England already en-
ioyed certain treaty rights upon the
isshmus. But they were decidedly un-
willing to invite other European nations
to give their assent.
Those nations had no standing in the
case, and it was deemed most unwise
to invite them to participate in purely
American affair with which they had no
direct concern.
BY the terms of the new treaty the
United States may, in time of war. deal
with the canal as it deems best for Its
own interests. 1t may close the canal
to the ships of it's enemies, and could,
il it were thought advisable (Which no
one believes it ever will bed fortify the
channel or its termini
In the broad sense the isthniian water
way is to be "all-American." The United
States is to build it and to have COM
plete control of it, unhampered by on
erous restrictions.

Pekin, Oct. 7.-Ofiicials here have not

hal Yesterday Previous advices lead
to belief that the court did start.
Temporary palaces at Kaifeng Flu Pao
Ting Flu are being prepared like per-
manent dwellings,, altho they will be
occupied for only few days.
The acquisitions for travelling ex-
penses already amount to 100000 taels,
in spite of the edict enjoining economy
in this respect. The scale of prepara-
tions may be judged from the single
item-3O.000 taels to be expended on
table ware. Several local officials along
the route have resigned because they
are unable to meet the expenses of en-
tertaining the court. The latter's journ-
ey now is particularly unfortunate, be-
cause the regions traversed have been
Impoverished by the summer famine.
Chinese officials are considering the
ministers against the conduct of the
legation guards. The soldiers continue
to treat the Chinese like a conquered
people. Groups of soldiers roam about

governor of Pekin has protested because
foreign store keepers continue to oc-
cupy buildings which they seized in
1890 regardless of their owners wishes.
The ministers will evict storekeepers
from these places. Correspondence has
been exchanged between the Chinese
officials and ministers regarding COM

BROOKLYN BRIDGE UNSAFE.
Experts Say the Big Structure is De-
tericratina.


New York, Oct 1.-THE Brooklyn
bridge is no. safe enough, has beer
greatly neglected under "Tammany
municipal ownership" and is in urgent
reed of repairs
Here are the conclusions of Engineers
Edwin Duryea, Jr., and Joseph Mayer,
appended to their report to District At
torney Philbin:
I'VE find that some deterioration OF
the bridge has been allowed to occur
because of improper supervision and
inspection, but that at present because
Of repairs no important deterioration
exists, and that the structure Is practi-
cally as strong as when completed.
Its safety, however. due to increases
in the moving loads, is less than when
the bridge was completed, and because
of defects in the design has never been
so great as was supposed and is now
much below the degree considered good
practice for ordinary bridges
I'VE believe the present margin of
safety to be 80 small that the necessity
for repairs is urgent, and have suggest
ed means by which the safety can be
largely increased without materially in
Will LIE lTdihG dud tiS d VIM
paratively small cost.
We believe the present methods of
supervision, inspection and mainte-
nance to be faulty and not such as will
with any certainty keep the bridge in a
safe condition"
Referring to the accident of July "a,
when nine consecutive suspenders of
the bridge We're broken, they say that
two of the suspenders had been broken
a long time and that an examination of
the suspender rods showed that they
must have been subjected to side bend
ing.
In answering the question as to what
agency causes this bending, they say
they. are of the opinion that the most
important cause is wind pressure. at
least two other causes of side bending
act in conjunction with the wind pres
sure. An examination of the new rods
shows that they are being pulled to the
north by the cable, and are bearing hard
against the top edges of their trunnions
They think this must be due to some
defect of adjustment or construction by
which the rods fail to lie in the plane
of the cable, or the trunnions failNto be
perpendicular to this plane.
The report, which is an elaborate one,
was submitted to William Barclay Par
sons, engineer to the rapid transit com
mission. by District Attorney Philbin
and by Engineers Duryea and Mayer to
Alfred Noble now member of the 18TH
,neian canal commission and late
member of the deep waterways commits
sion of 1895. Mr. Noble made certain
suggestions which Mr.. Duryea followed,
Mr.. Parsons advised a few minor
amendments, which were adopted, and
both Mr.. Noble and Mr.. Parsons approve
of the report as given out by the district
attorney.
Mr.. Philbrin does not care to say yet
whether or not he will lay the report be-
fore the grand jury.

Emma Goldman's remarks on the as

Every anarchist glories in murder, re-
joices over every fresh assassination,
ard hopes for still more frequent and
awful deeds of blood. Society indulges
these murderers on the ground that they
have theory and are, therefore, Ii
censed to advocate assassination in the

ments allow these murderers to preach
murder and revel in it, the list of start
ling assassinations will continue. When

army during the war.
.Altho the commission had been sit
ting nearly three months. the charges
with respect to canned and refrigerated
beef were now made for the first time
and, stranger and more ineXcusa bic,
and more unsoldierly still. during an
those months, with this pretended
knowledge of facts which, If they exist
ed. should have been made known to
the secretary of war, for the protection
of the army, Gen. Miles had never men
toned this subject.
Gen. Miles seemed to be pleased with
the notoriety which his startling state
ment before the commission and his
subsequent newspaper interview gave
him; for again. on the 31st of March,
1899. in New York city, he published,
thru representatives of the Associated
Press and of a metropolitan paper, ad-
ditional charges. This unmilitary and
questionable method of making in pub
lie grave and scandalous charges re-
garding brother officer and the work
of his department-clarges which sub
seauent and careful investigation
proved both unwarranted and untrue
seemed to appeal to certain character
istics of the major general commanding
to which reference here would be out of
place.
IF we are to believe written evidence
to the contrary, 1t does not appear that
Gen. Miles was even honest in making
his dilatory charges that the timed beef
was issued as the pretense of an eXper-
iment and that it was not a part of the
ration. On the nth OF June. 1898, his
most confidential staff officer signed the
letter. by direction of the major general
commanding the army, instructing the
depot commissary at Tampa to furnish
to Gen. Nunez 1854 pounds of canned
roasted beef, to be issued from the sub
sistence stores of the army. If we are
to accept the reading of this letter as
correct, 1t proves that Gen. Miles knew
that canned fresh beef was a part OF
the ratios; that he knew there was a
large quantity of it at Tampa for issue
to the troops and that he SO far ap-
proved of its use as 20 direct that the
ration be furnished in large quantities
to our allies"

and the collections are becoming more
extensive, varied and attractive. Mean
while, the demand for elephants, gi-
raffes, rhinoceroses, river horses, sharks,
boojums and other notable wild beasts
is steadily growing stronger But the
supply from the jnngles and the waste

imals in captivity has been practiced
with excellent results in recent years.
Therefore, the cages and dens and IN

DEALER Held Responsible.

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-Where q dealer
sells gasoline without marking the
package. cask, barrel or vessel "gaso-
line he is responsible for any accident
that may result from any one not know
ing what it contains The supreme
court held so Saturday in the case OF
Jennie Ives against William Welden.
Plaintiff was is years old when her
father brought a jug home that had al
ways been used for kerosene. She used
it in starting fire. and when she light
ed it an explosion followed which se-
yerely injured her. This suit is against
the dealer for putting gasoline instead
of kerosene into the jug.
There is dispute as to whether
plaintiffs father ordered gasoline or
kerosene, and Judge S. NJ. Weaver. of
the lower court, instructed the jury that
il he knew it was gasoline and did not
warn the girl she could not recover
This decision is reversed because lit has
long been the settled law of the state
that the negligence of the parents cam
not be attributed to the child, and be-
cause defendant would be liable in any
event, because he did not mark the jug.
This requirement is mandatory.
