from trip 70 the Old World They
landed in New York the middle of

the country's metropolis before re-
turning.
One of theresults of Mr.. Crawford 4

feeling of pride which he takes in his
own country. England and France
are the only two countries we visited
ON our European trip said Mr..
Crawford to an Evening World repr e.
sentative. Both of them are very
nice countries, but thew arc as far be-
hind the United States as Martinsburg
is behind New York. Thai may seem
to Won like good deal to say, but
nevertheless it was one of the facts
that was most strongly impressed up
on nv mind. In fact, | would rather
live in ny out of the way corner Of
the Uuited States than in any part of
Europe. y
Mr.. Crawford upon his return found
the machinery in the factories con-
trolled by him in full operation and
all hands huSily at work He also
found that some progress in the way
of improvements had been made dur
ing his absence. The new building
of the Shenandoah Pants Company,
which operates in connection with
the Wooden Mills, he found almost
completed, while when he left work
on it had not much more than com
menced. The big brick structure is
now under roof and work is progress

SIGNATURES UNEXPECTED.
Cana, Convention With Great Britain
Ready United states Given Free
Hand

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.--The new
construction by the United States of a
transisthmian canal was signed In Sc
cret at the state department yester-
day. No unusual formallty marked
the ceremony of giving life to this
notable agreement. In fact, 1t was be-
lieved that IL would not be signed until
after Secretary Hays return from New
York, where he will spend today and
tomorrow. Lord pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador, has been indisposed,
aud his appearance at the state de-
partment was Il surprise even to the
officers there.
The signatures of the secretary OF
state and the British ambassador were
attached to the convention shortly aft
er II O'Clock. Lord Pauncefote came
to the department about five minutes
past noon, accompanied by Mr.. Percy
Wyndham. the second secretary OF the
British embassy. He expressed a de-
sire to proceed with the ceremony Of
signing. and Mr.. Hay. very much grati-
fed over the opportunity to do so, sent
for Sidney Smith, the chief Of the dip
lomatic bureau, and directed him to
bring the American copy Of the treaty,
OF which he is the custodian, TO the
diplomatic reception room. Mr.. Wynd-
ham brought the British copy.
The ceremony of signing took place
at the long table in the diplomatic
room, where many other important in
ternational agreements have been per-
fected.
Lord Pauncefote and Mr.. Hay had
pleasant chat for few minutes, and
then the ambassador returned to the
British embassy. taking with him the
official British copy of the treaty. The
copies are identical. except that the
name of the president OF the United
States is first mentioned In the Ameri-
can copy and the name Of King Ed
ward takes precedence In the British
copy.
The new treaty is practically the
same as the old one. except that il con-
tains the following changes, necessary
to make it acceptable to the senate:
cit is specifically stated that II SUI
persedes and takes the place OF the
Clayton Bulwer treaty.
at gives to the United States power
to guarantee the neutrality of the ca.
nal Mt all times.
at removes the restriction on the
power Of the United States to fortify

Before closing the interview his ex-

II have one more thing to say. You
are without doubt aware that at regu-
lar intervals reports appear in the
newspapers to the effect that Germa-
ny is trying to acquire coaling stations
or a foothold of some kind in South
America or in the West Indian waters.
These reports are started again and
again by our enemies, who don't like
to see us on too friendly terms with
the United States. / can tell you now
that / am officially authorized to state
that Germany has no such purpose in

phatic and unqualified way. | have

Only Recently News From This State
Considered of Any Importance.
Ii is but few years since the great
newspapers of the outside world paid
any attention to West Virginia. Only
some occurrence of great notoriety, a
great tragedy, would receive telegraph
notice in these papers, and even that
would come late and be imperfect.
Now however. it is different. Nearly
all the Pittsburg papers publish West
Virginia editions. filed with news of
this great state, CLEANED by corps of
special correspondents, who are paid
not for what they write but bv the
month receiving regular salary. And
the Cincinnati papers without excep-
tion have large amounts appropriated
regularly to West Virginia news.
What is the cause of all this change?
The wonderful, the almost phenomi-
nal developement of this great state.
It's oil. it's coal. it's gas. it's wood
that have attracted capital and invited
immigration that instead of being q
purely agricultural state, as it was
considered but a decade ago. it is now
the booming, bustlinG, busy, growing.
developing commonwealth of the ma
ton. The newspapers cater TO the
State as they never dreamed of before,
not only because of their increased
number of readers. but because of the
important place this State has taken
in the industrial world. and because
news from West Virginia Is now i'm
portant and interesting everywhere.
We are making history in this State
these days. and the newspapers, ever
alert to new conditions, have ascer-
tanned the fact, and added the help of
their great power.

When Richard Wagner was conduct

making it follow his intentions. Some

tempts he exclaimed, Gentlemen, you

you have played exactly as badly as

The Zurich players laughed, and the
idea that they might play better than
the royal musicians in Dresden so fired
their zeal that they actually succeeded
