During Last Week.
Inquiry in Vermont through Brad
streets Burlington representative re-
veals the following conditions:
The farmable agricultural interests
have been strengthened the past week by
a considerable rainfall and prospects Tor
large, though late crops, are improved
No disturbing feature of Importance has
been reported that would interfere with
business which, in general, continues
good throughout the state. In wholesale
lines there has been the usual distribute
ton in Burlington and collections are
fair. Lumber continues firm In price ana
the demand, both in wholesale and retail
lines, appears to be good. At Bennihg

demand for some lines of Knit goods, a
condition due it is thought to overproduc-
ton and some inactivity is noted among
the mills, with consequent slight erect

are reported good. Rutland reports

Newport and conditions are much as
usual This holds good for Bristol, eX-
cept that collections at tins point are re-
ported somewhat slow; some apprehen-
sion for late crops, which was felt locally.
has been relieved by heavy rains which
insures a better harvest. Business con-
ditions at Brattleboro, in practically all
departments, are reported fair. The gran
lite business at Barre continues active,
scarcity of labor being felt. Montpelier
reports business good, labor Is well en-
ployed and conditions in various lines
are favorable. At Hardwick there
appears to be about the usual business in
the granite sheds. The important lumber
interests in Lamoille county are favor
able; the product brings a good figure
and business outlook is pronounced
good. The strike in the railroad shops
at st. Adams has practically collapsed.
While there are number of idle men in
consequence of the strike, the shops are
running and other manufacturing inter-
ests are well employed and general con-
dtions prevail.
Bradstreet's journal in reporting on
conditions in the country at large, SAYS:
"All available measures of supply, de-
mand and movement point to the busi-
ness done in July having exceeded any
thing transacted in any midsummer
month. This, too, despite the exception
ally hot weather, drought, strike talk
and similar conditions unfavorable to
business extension. Bank clearings last
week showed the expansion, and clear
ings for the first week of August show
continued increases over last year and
preceding periods. Prices in the month
Just closed made further advance from
the low level of June /, and, finally,
gross railway earnings for July point to
increases alike in volume and in percent
age far exceeding any previous July, and
heavier, in fact, than for any previous
month for more than a year past"

here for about week looking into the
matter of alien labor and as a result of
their labors l6 of the men in the employ
of Messrs. Winters, Parsons & Boomer,
who have a contract to do some work for
the Red Mountain railway, were ordered
deported. The contractors will pay the
way of the men back to the United States,
where they were engaged. This is the first
time that case of this kind has come up
in this province and the penalty of $1,000
fine for each contract laborer brought in
was not enforced. The commissioners
stated, however, that in the future the law
would be enforced to the letter. The inten-
ton of the dominion authorities is to pro-
tect the Canadian workers from unfair
competition.

THE HAY -PAUNCEFOT TREATY
TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED
Neither the United states Nor Eng
land Made an Effort to Extend 1T
A New Treaty Is Desired-Britiss
Government Prepares Communi-
cation.

Washington, March 6. The Hay
Pauncefote treaty, intended to replace the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, relative to the
construction of isthmian waterways, is
dead. The death was caused technically
by the fact that the last clause of the
treaty allowed only the period of time up
to March 4 for its ratification. Neither
the government of the United States nor
of Great Britain appeared to have made an
effort to extend that period.
Though the treaty is dead from the
point of international law, it may still
serve purpose. 1t is understood here
that the British government either has,
or is preparing, communication to the
United States government based on the
senate amendments, Analysing them
carefully, pointed out their probable eff
feet upon the original proposition as seen
from the British side and perhaps suggest
some notifications
While it is impossible to predict in ad.
vance of the receipt of this communica-
ton just what attitude the state depart
ment will assume toward it, there is rea-
son to believe that it will be taken in
good part, and that negotiations will be
resumed for the conclusions of a new
treaty with a view of meeting, if pos
sible, the objections raised by the senate
to the original treaty.

.BOTHA ABOUT TO SURRENDER
NEGOTIATIONS GOING AHEAD
Private Information Received : Con-
firms Recent Reports-Botha in Touch
with kitchener at Pretoria = Other
Boer Genei ais win right it Out.

London, March S.--Private information
of negotiations between Lord Kitchener,
Sir Alfred Miner and Commandment GEN
eIal Louis Botha. Nothing is known as
to the actual presence of the Boer COM
mander in chief at Pretoria and no Lon
don paper publishes statement that he
is there, but it is reasonably certain that
General Botha is in either Pretoria or in
close touch with Lord Kitchener.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman made
an effort to extract some information
from the government on the subject in
the house of commons. The Associated
Press is informed that Sir Alfred Miner
has gone to Pretoria with the object of
assisting Lord Kitchener in these negoda-
tions, the length of which appears to be
due to General Botha's desire to consult
with Acting President Schalkberger at
Petersburg and to make terms applying
to the whole Boer forces, but initiating
against this is Lord Kitchener's doubt as
to General Botha's ability to control Gen
eral Dewet and other leaders, as well as
the internal opposition General Botha is
encountering
The great financial firms whose inter-
ests in South Africa are almost equal
to those of the government believe from
their private advices that the present sit
uation is likely to result in the surrender
of General Botha and the forces under
his immediate command, while the other
Boer units will remain in the field.
