[BY CABLE TO THE TRIBUEE.l
London, Dec. IS 1 a. m.-The ratification of
the canal treaty gives the utmost satisfaction
in political and diplomatic circles. Opinions
vary to the value of the document to this
country. but everybody agrees that, with its
adoption by the Senate, there has disappeared
one more of the outstanding potentialities OF
trouble between England and America Dis
patches that had been received here from Wash
ington conveyed the impression that the railway
interests would incite considerable opposition
to the treaty, and it is considered most cred
liable to the Senate that the convention should
have been ratified by large a majority Presi-
dent Roosevelt Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote are heartily congratulated and the hope
is general that the canal will be constructed
speedily s possible.

The flowing tide is still with England in South
Africa, and success follows success with a ra-
pidity that seems to promise much earlier
termination of the than appeared probable
three weeks ago. The capture of Krtzinger'
which Kitchener reports this morning, Is un-
doubtedly a big step toward ending guerilla
warfare in Cape Colony. This redoubtable Boer
leader has long been thorn in kitchener's side.
Lord Rosebery's speech is the talk Of the town
1t is generally conceded that he has made an
excellent beginning toward the reconstruction of
his old party but it will require supreme ef-
fort to prevent the Liberalism from dying
in infancy. MI Perks who is an avowed ad-
mrer of Lord Rosebery, does not expect to see
great change in public opinion until the war
is over. Then he looks for a wave of indfgna-
tion from all parts of the country at the gross
mismanagement of the campaign in South
Africa and thinks a demand will arise for a
national party. The official Liberal I'M
perialist view is that If the present government
is to he replaced by Liberal ministry it can
only be brought about by a royal summons to
Lord Rosebery.

THE SCHOOL OF MINES.
Captain A. B. Fitch Tells Of the Improve
ments That Are Being Made.

Captain A. B. Fitch and daughters
left last evening for their home at Mag
dalena, Socorro county, after spending
Saturday and Sunday in the capital
city. Captain Fitch is member of the
board Of regents Of the New Mexico
School of Mines at Socorro, and he Is
greatly interested in it's work. The
board of regents is striving to make
the school, the best mining college IN
the west, and have succeeded so far
that no better school of mines is to be
found in the Rocky mountain region.
The main building has been thoroughly
renovated during the past few months.
It's class rooms are larger, additional
room for storage and engines has been
added by taking out the unsatisfactory
heating system. One wing OF new
building is being completed and will be
ready for occupancy when the school
opens on September 9. When compile
ted the structure Is to be the metallur-
gical building and will be finely equipp-
ed with modern machinery and appar-
atus. The school is up-to-date in every
respect 1t possesses modern machin-
cry for testing ores and treating them,
modern apparatus for assaying, ore
furnaces, etc. 1t strives to attract es-
pecially the promising young men of
the territory in order to make good
chemists, assayers, mine superinten-
dents and geologists out of them.
There is no more promising field than
New Mexico for the trained expert in
mining With it's increased facilities.
it's modern equipment, its fine build
ings and a satisfactory heating and
ventilating system, its opportunities for
practical work, the School of Mines
easily holds pre-eminence among west
ern schools of it's class.
Captain Fitch says that everyone at
Magdalena and Kelly is busy. On the
Graphic mine, extensive development
work is still in progress although not
enough ore is on hand as yet TO resume
operations at the smelter. The Kelly
mine is in ore and is shipping at the
rate of a carload day to Ell Paso. The
shipments, however, will probably soon

A POLITICAL DISPUTE.
Appraiser Wakemam Must Dismiss Five
Examiners He Appointed.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The secretary
of the treasury a few days ago received
response from the committee of the
board of trade and transportation of
New York to a reply of Appraiser
Wakeman of New York, to charges
filed by them against him in connec-
ton with certain changes and appoint
ments made in his office. The matter
was referred to the civil service COM
mission which has taken action by
disappearing of the temporary appoint
ments of Examiners Grove, Mcdonald
Bretzfelder, Jerome and Michaels. The
commission held that the appointments
of these five men was illegal be-
cause they were not qualified under
section 294O of the Revised Statutes.
Secretary Gage approved the action of
the civil service commission and to-
morrow will direct Appraiser Wakeman
to dismiss these men and probably d.
rect him to return the men recently
transferred from his office to the docks
for the examination of baggage to orig
inal ports.
