elgn office nor himself, as
president of the conference had re-
ceived any reply from Colombia. Gil
Fortoul said he thought diplomatic
usage demanded that no official report
of the reply of Venezuela be made
until the reply of Colombia is received
He therefore asked the chair to with
hold the reply of Venezuela until CO.
lomhia is heard from.
Referring to the publication of dis
patches which did not ernanate from
him, Gen. Reyes of Colombia said he
believed the reason for the delay in
the receipt of message from the
of the interruption of the telegraph
lines, which passed through a rough
country. He was quite certain no dis
courtesy was intended.
President Raigosa said he would act
in accordance with the representation
of Gil Fortoul as being in accordance
with diplomatic usage, but If the con-
ference wished otherwise he would
have to bow to its wishes. The confer
ence declared it did not wish to run
counter to the request of Gil Fortoul.

A SURPRISE FOR HAY
NICARAGUA KICKS OUT of CANAL
CONCESSION.
NO EXPLANATION GIVEN

NULLED.

+ion May Upset All Calculations. >.
THE New Agreement AbrOEates
the CIayton-BuIwer Treaty and
I.aves the United States Free to
construct the Canal.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The govern
,,snt of Nicaragua has terminated the
trsatv under which the United States
WAS empowered to construct an inter-
oceanic canal across the territory Of
Nicaragua. This action has been no.
.esd TO the State Department by the
Nicaraguan minister for foreign af-
fairs That officer says that the de-
nnnciation in nowise affects the friend
" relations between the two countries
and the Nicaraguan government de-
sires the conclusion of new treaties.
Reside the treaty of friendship, COM
merce and navigation of 1857 the Unit
ed States denounced, the same note
conveys the denunciation of the extra
dition treaty of 1879 between the
United States and Nicaragua. Under
the terms of the denunciation the first
named treaty, covering the right to
construct and guarantee canal the
convention will expire Oct. "a. 1900,
which is one year from the date the
notice was received at the State De-
partment. The extradition treaty ter
minated May "a as provided in the
convention.
The Nicaraguan minister's note con-
veys absolutely no information as to
the motives which inspired the Mica
raeuan government to denounce these
two treaties, nor has Mr.. Merry, the
United States minister to Nicaragua,
thrown any light upon the subject. 1t
may be recalled, and affecting the
treaty of 1867, that before submitting
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to Con-
gress last year, Secretary Hay drew
up a set of protocols with the minister
of Nicaragua and the minister for
Colombia, whereby these officers bound
their governments to negotiate treat
les with the United States for the
necessary concessions under which to
construct and control canals in the
event that Congress should authorize
the beginning Of the work.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAIMED.
President Roosevelt Makes the
Usual Proclamation, with Mention
of McKinley's Death.

Washington. Nov 2.-President
Roosevelt to-day issued his proclama-
ton fixing Thursday, Nov. 26. as a
day of national thanksgiving. 1t fol-
lows:
A PROCLAMATION.
The season is nigh when, according
to the time hallowed custom of our
people, the President appoints a day
as the especial occasion for praise and
thanksgiving to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good President. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
loved and honored him, and the man.
ner of his death should awaken in the
breast of our people keen anxiety
for the country, and at the same time
a resolute purpose not to be driven
by any calamity from the path of
strong, orderly, popular liberty which
as nation we have thus far safely
tread.
Yet in spite of this great disaster, it
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let US re-
member that, as much has been given
us, much will be expected of us, and
that true homage comes from the
heart as we'll as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can best
prove our thanksgiving to the AL
mighty by the way in which on this
ecrth and at this time each of us does
il outy to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate as day of general
Thanksgiving, Thursday, the 28th of
this present November, and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations and at their several homes and
places of worship. reverently thank the
giver of all good for the countless
blessings of our national life.
In witness whereof. 1 have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed
Done at-the city of Washington this
second day of November, in the year
our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and one and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and twenty-sXth.

PAUNCEFOTE HAS THE TREATY
Having Been Informally Prepared
in London 1t Will Now Be Off,
~Ially Completed in Washington.


London Nov.l 2.-The first official
statement of any kind made for a
month in relation to the Nicaragua
canal has been obtained by the Asso-
ciated Press. 1t confirms the fact that
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor to the United States, when he
lands in New York to-day will have

abrogating the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
which is in every particular satisfac-
tory to Lord Salisbury's cabinet.
Since a representative of the fAsso-
GATED Press interviewed Lord Paunce-
fote in London not one word officially
authorized has been given out here
with reference to the, canal. The edi-
torial comments 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 ne
EQUATIONS up to the present day have
been entirely unofficial from a
strictly diplomatic, point of view.
and that on pourparlers only depend
the hopes generally shared for sue
cessful bridging over of the diplomatic
oinculty. These pourparlers, however,
nave been particularly searching.
The state department does not re-
quire to see copy of the important
document Lord Pauncefote carries in
order to learn it's terms, though, Off
clally, negotiations will only COM
nehCe when the ambassador reaches
washington. Until that time the ex
act conditions of the new conven-
uon are withheld.
though 1t was admitted that Great
tn tpnI'4in had agreed to put the Clay

quiesce in the construction of the

the end of the long voyage. These
We're set ont, the seeds planted, and
while after a time IS trees showed as
the result of Husskarrs labors, there
was not a grain of quinine in one of
them. The cascarrileros Ozark gath
erers) had given him poor seed.
When this Encouragement was
dampening the ardor of those that had
started the enterprise in Java, over in
Bolivia an Englishman by the name of
Ledger was approached by native,
one Manuel lncra Mamani, and told
there was good cinchona seed to be
had by a foreigner, if Husskarl had
been fooled. Ledger believed the
native, bought of him 20 pounds of
guaranteed seed and sent it to his
brother in London. The London
brother communicated with the Dutch
government in regard to his possess
sion, the whole consignment was
bought for 600 rupees (about $3.50
and sent on to Java, Ledger gave
Mamani more money and told him to
go into the forest and get him some
more seeds; but the cascarrileros, be-
cause he had allowed seed to be sent
out of the country, captured him and
whipped him so severely that he died.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1901-08-03

The 20 pounds of seed were sufficient
to start the cinchona industry in Java
Twenty thousand trees grew from the
Ledger seeds, and some of them are
still standing. These trees, which are
almost so years old, are now used only
for the seed. The seeds are planted
in nurseries, where the young plants
are sheltered from the sun by leaf
shelters. AS the Ledgers do not take
to the soil very well, they are grated
on to red bark tree that fiourshes
in the soil but does not contain much
quinine. When the wound of the graft
ing has healed the tall top of the red
bark tree is cut off and the improved
tree transplanted from the nursery to
the forest.
TO prepare land for these forests
the jungle is cleared and the ground
kept perfectly free from weeds and
rubbish. The trees are planted in
rows and in such manner the rains
can sink deep into the soil. When they
are six years old The trees are cut
down. The old way was to peel the
bark and cover the naked trunks with
moss; but now it is considered better
to cut the trees down close to the
roots and near by plant new ones, The
trees are then cut into short lengths
and the bark beaten off by women.

He buys the bread at low price in
the city, when it is too old to sell to
customers there. But it hasn't

any means. He first retails it as long
