well-known green cabbage worm.
After feeding for n time the worm
leaves the plant, changes to a chry
shortly afterward. There are sew

Attempts have been made to de-
stroy these pests by the cultivation
of a contagious disease, which has
been found to attack the worms
successful and other means must be
followed for it's destruction. Hand
picking the worms, although tedious,
is an effective remedy on small areas
Insect powder, known also as pyre-
thrum, or buhach, may be mixed
with six or eight times it's bulk of
flour and busted on the plants. It
should be applied about once a week.

In some places hot water has been
used to good advantage. 1t can be
applied at temperature of about

remedy. The poison should be mixed
at the rate of one part in 100 of -four
and busted over the plants when the
dew IS on or Immediately after a
rain. Frequent application should
be made, so that the young worms
are destroyed shortly after hatch.

NEW ISTHMIAN CANAL TREATY
is SIGNED AT WASHINGTON

the canal will fare alike; there will be
no discrimination in rates in favor OF
United States shipping.
Otherwise the new treaty is in scope
similar to last years treaty. 1t re-
places technically the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, concluded April 10, 1850. By
the terms of that old convention the
United States and Great Britain agreed
that neither should seek any advant-
ages in rights of transit cross the
isthmus. BY the new convention
Great Britain yields her right in favor
of the United States, which is thus at
liberty to construct Il canal.
Nothing more remains to be done as
far as this treaty is concerned before
tne Senate meets, or, indeed, until the
treaty shall have been ratified, reject
ed or amended. If it should be ratified,
the State Department will proceed i'm
mediately TO negotiate the treaties with
Costa Rica and Nicaragua for which
it already has arranged in protocols
pending before the Senate, which will
permit the canal to be constructed and
prescribe the terms upon which the
consent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Is given. 1t was in anticipation of this
action, it is presumed, that the Mica
raguan government only recently de-
nounced the treaty Of trade and COM
merce with the United States. This
treaty contained sections conveying
rights as to canal construction which
are to be replaced by more modern
provisions.

The snow upon the hillside lay,
And matched the cottage roof,
The web Of vines by the Pilgrims door
Was filled with icy wool.
The boughs were leafiess on the trees,
Across the barren plain
The north wind swept despairingly
And moaned like one in pain.
Ut whimpered like some hungry child
That clasps it's parents hand
And pleads for bread when there is none
In all the dreary land.)

Circling with empty nav,
Mocking their hunger, flew the crow,
Shrieking his "haw, haw, haw."

From hunger feeble, trembling knelt
And raised her voice to Him.

with wild fowl laden down,
Four hunters from the forest drear
Came marching into town.
And las in answer to the prayer,
To add to all the cheer,
And Danish famine from the place,
Came Indians with deer.
The joyous villagers rushed out
The ladened ones to meet,
But Patience knelt and said: Tanks,

Washington, Nov. 10.-The new Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed yester-
day by Secretary Hay for the United
States and Lord Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador, for Great Britain.
This treaty is intended to replace the
first Hay-Pauncefote treaty. That con-
ventiOn was amended so extensively
by the United States Senate at its last
session that the British government de-
clined to ratify it. Within n few
weeks negotiations began afresh be-
tween Secretary Hay and Lord Paun-
%cefote, which have just resulted in the
signature of the new treaty, drawn
with special reference to the objections
found by the Senate with the first
treaty.
Owing to the courtesy which must
be observed toward the Senate wher-
ever a treaty is concerned, the State
Department is estopped from making
public the text of the new convention,
and that will remain secret until the
Senate itself shall break the seal of
confidence.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the new and the failed treaty
is the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the joint guarantee of the neu-
trality Of the canal, thus leaving the
United States the sole %guarantor. The
excelsior of the old provision respect
ing the right to fOrtify the canal leaves
that right by inference optional with
the United States. All commerce of

SCHEME TO ESTABLISH
A REPUBLIC In ALASKA

San Francisco, Nov. 19.-The Call
prints an unconfirmed rumor from
Skaguay, Alaska, under date of No
vember 9th, telling of the discovery of
what is alleged to be a huge cOnspir-
acy existing at Dawson and ramify-
ing to Skaguay, Victoria, Vancouver
and Seattle, for the overthrow of the
local government of the Northwest
territory and the establishment of a
republic, with Dawson as its capital.
According to the details of the story
arms, ammunition and provisions have
been taken in over the railroad and
cached at strategic points. Prominent
American residents of Skaguay are
said to be ringleaders in the conspiracy.
Miners to the number of 5000 are said
TO await the summons to arms, ready
to fight for independence from domin-
ion rule Of the gold field camps and
towns.
The plan is to overpOwer the mount
ed police, arrest the civil authorities
and take government into their own
hands. The rigors of the Arctic win
ters would give the insurgents six
months immunity from attack by Ca
madam or British troops, ana the ad-
|Yenturous arch-conspirators hope for
Intervention or outside assistance by
the time the melting of ice and snow
will permit the invasion of their iso-
lated republic.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-NO credence
is given here to the story Of the al
legged discovery Mt Skaguay, Alaska, Of
a conspiracy to overthrow the Ca
madam government in Alaska. United
States Marshal Shoup, who is credited
with having come here to communicate
with the United States government re-
garding the matter, is said to have
only for the purpose Of bringing some
United States prisoners who had been
sentenced to terms in the penitentiary
at McNeilrs island. He returned

Washington, Nov. 10.-Commissioner
General Powderly, of the immigration
bureau, in his annual report reiterates
the Views expressed in his last annual
report as to the necessity of amending
the laws in relation to the punishment
Of persons who induce aliens to come
to the United States to engage in labor
or service of any kind.
In discussing the general subject Of
immigration the commissioner general
says in part:
ITO deal with the problem success
fully, it seems Indispensable to remove
as far as possible those conditions
which conflict with the incorporation of
the alien element into the social sys.
TEN of the country, so that by actual
experience the former may learn as
soon as possible that the basis and
foundation of American policy is a re
spect and affection for and n willing
obedience to the laws and customs of
the land, because the maintenance of
those laws is the best safeguard of in
dividual liberty. 1t is therefore recon-
mended that Congress enact suitable
legislation either with or, if neces-
sary, without the cooperation Of the
states, for the purpose of distributing
the alien population with some refer
ence to the Industrial law of supply
and demand"
