Washington, Oct. 9.-The time allow
ed by Miss Stones kidnapers expired
yesterday yet she is still alive and un-
harmed. 1t is known now officially that
her captors have granted a short ex-
tension of time-how much is not stated
and the officials feel that If the re-
sponses to the appeals of Miss Stones
friends do not cease or diminish there
is yet reasonable hope for getting the
money in season to save her life. Dan
ger in the situation lies in the abate-
ment of popular interest which was so
generously manifested during the first
few days following the issuance of the
appeal

OF NATIONAL INTEREST
The Recent Appointment of
Dean as u. S. Attorney.

Chicago, Oct. 9-The special correspon-
dent of the Post writes this from Wash
ington:
Pessimistic Republican politicians are
already predicting trouble between Pres
ident Roosevelt and the organization
leaders of his party. His appointment OF
John s. Dean to be United States attor-
ney for Kansas against the wishes of
Senator Burton and National Commit
teeman Dave Mulvane of that state
is pointed out as the first evidence that
Roosevelt is likely to kick over the
traces, smash the dashboard and other
wise injure the Republican national ma
chine. 1t is true that this action proves
that RoOSevelt's backbone is just as
prominent a part OF his anatomy as
ever, but his friends refuse to admit
that he intends to trample on the long
acknowledged prerogative. of senators
and committeeman to recommend who
shall have the federal jobs in their
states
Senator Burton and Mr.. Mulvane were
backing B. H. Tracy for the place. Dean
was supported by ex-Committeeman
Cyrus Leland and others, including Will
liam Allen White, the Kansas editor, who
is friend OF the president. But the
question was not settled entirely on per-
Sonal grounds. Some time before MIR.
Mckinley left Washington for the sum-
mer-and forever, as it has unfortunate
ly proved-he referred the applications
of both candidates to the attorney gen.
eral, and Mr.. Knox reported adversely
to Tracy. This did not discourage Sem
ator Burton and Committeeman Null
vane, however, for they were among
the first callers to visit the new presi-
dent, and they pleaded with him to ap-
point their man Notwithstanding the ad-
verse report of the department of JUS
tice. 1t was Immediately after Mr..
White paid visit to the White House
and dined with the president that the
appointment of Mr.. Dean was an
nounced. Naturally, Senator Burton
and Committeeman Mulvane do not like
to think they were thrown down for
a humble newspaper man. even if he did
write Whats the Matter With Kan
sas?" and it is only human for them to
accuse the administration of turning
down the wheel horses of the party.
But it is contended that the Dean ap-
pointment by no means indicates that
President Roosevelt is inclined to ride
rough-shod over the national commit
tee of his party. Cyrus Leland, who
urged Deans selection, is an old friend
of Senator Hanna. This is a point which
the miSchief-makers have apparently
overlooked. They have tried to spread
the report of bitterness between the
chairman of the national committee and
the president, but here is case of the
administration denying a request of
party leaders and granting one prefer
red by Senator Hanna's old lieutenant
of the campaign of 1896. 1t is not con-
tended that Roosevelt appointed Dean
for Hanna's sake, but it is a good guess
that the name of the chairman was on
the favored candidates petition.

NEW CANAL TREATY.
Satisfaction Is General Over Outcome
of Negotiations.

Washington, Oct. 9-Great satisfac-
ton is expressed in all circles here over
the news that new isthmian canal
treaty had been negotiated with Great
Britain. There is general appreciation
of the fact that this is perhaps the last
important work of the administration
of President Mckinley. What has been
achieved was achieved by the late
president and by his brilliant secretary
of state, Mr.. Hay. 1t is to that ad-
ministrat ton the credit belongs, and 1T
is freely given by President Roosevelt
and his friends.
There is additional cause for graft
fcation in the fact that Colonel RooSe-
welt was consulted about this treaty
before the negotiations were entered
upon, and that he gave his adherence
to the principles involved. The preSi-
dent is therefore able to carry the work
on with energy and enthusiasm. The
terms of the new treaty are very nearly
as Colonel Roosevelt himself would
have written them six months ago, and
the minor particulars in which he
would have them different are of small
Importance.
AS the then Vice President Roosevelt
said at the time he was consulted by
Secretary Hay, no government can ex-
pect to write both sides of treaty. 1t
takes two to make a bargain. Never
theless, virtually all the concessions
have been made by Great Britain-an
other proof of the earnest desire of
Br1ClSA statesmen TO continue the most
amicable relations with the United
States.
The new canal treaty meets the chief
objections that were raised against the
original convention in this country.
Great Britain consents to the abroga-
tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which
was recognized as of binding foce in
the Hay-Pauncefote agreement. For
this consent we simply repeat an assur
ance that the canal shall be open to all
nations upon equal terms in time of
peace, while a distinction is made on the
subject of naturalization in time of war.
The belligerents in wars with which we
have nothing to do will be treated alike.
Their ships of war and of commerce will
be admitted to the canal under the usual
regulations affecting neutral territory.
But if the United States is herself a bel
ligerent she may take such steps as she
may deem proper for her own protection.
This reservation secures as the one
exclusive advantage of control and own
ership which we desire, and its scope is
emphasized by another change of terms.
The original treaty contained clause
which read: 1.-THE high contracting par
ties will Immediately upon the exchange
of the ratification of this convention,
bring it to the notice of the other pow
ers and invite them to adhere to it,"
Nothing is now said of ''other powers"
