Chicago. early yesterday. While the
occupants of the burning building

safety, the flren1en, who were respond

UNCLE SAM TURNED. DOWN.

highlands Reply to the Complaint
About the Seizure of a Wrecker.
Washington, May THE answer Of
the British government to the inquiry
of the state department respecting the
seizure at Union bay Of the wrecking
vessel Ajax, which was engaged in
saving the American steamer William
cite, has been received, and, as was
expected, it takes the ground that the
Willamette was not wrecked in waters
contiguous to the United States boun-
dairy. line," a condition which the
treaty makes necessary to. wrecking
operations like this. It appears that
Union bay, the scene of the wreck, is
more than 100 miles distant from the
boundary line, and in the light of the
treaty and of subsequent decisions Of
the authorities, it could not be regard
ed as forming part Of the contiguous
waters, so that the seizure was justi-
fed and cannot be made the subject of
remonstrance.

TO DELAY ACTION
SCHEME OF THE NEW PANAMA
CANAL COMPANY.
Continued Efforts to Unload the
Panama Ditch Upon the United
States Part Of q General Plan to
Prevent the Construction of the
Nicaragua. Canal-United states
Could Not Become, Owner of the
Panama Canal-Hepburn Bill VIII
BE Reintroduced.

washington, May 8.-The continued
efforts Of the new Panama Canal COM
pany to unload upon the United States
the big De Lesseps ditch are regarded
here as a part of the general plan to
prevent the construction of the Nicar-
aguan canal.
Mr.. Hutin, the president of that
company, has allowed it to be UNDER
stood that his company is ready to
have appraisers appointed to fix the
value Of the Panama canal property
with a view to its sale to the United
States. The friends Of the Nicaragua
canal project regard this as only a.
proposition: to delay action by con-
gress. The United States government
could never become the owner Of the
Panama canal. The charters to the
Panama Canal company absolutely
prohibit it to cede or mortgage its
right to any nation or foreign govern
ment, under penalty of forfeiture. The
concessions from Colombia also pro-
hibit such disposition Of the property.
The fsthmian canal commission. OF
which Admiral Walker is president,
made a thorough investigation of this
question, and reported that even If
the privileges Of The company could be
Purchased and Transferred
tt the United. States they were incum-
bered with charges and conditions
would not permit this government
to exercise all the rights of complete
ownership over a canal constructed by
it over the Panama route. The, gov
eminent could only become a minority
stockholder in the company. Senator
Morgan, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals, believes
that all the propositions from the new
Canal company are made for
the sole purpose of delaying action by
this government on the N~icaraguan
canal plan. He will continue to oppose
all Panama canal schemes and work
a canal to be owned and controlled
by the government. Chairman Hep |
burn of the house is in full sympathy
with Senator Morgan and will reintro-
duce his bill. to construct a canal by
the Nicaragua route to be owned and
by the United States gov
ernment. Mr.. Hepburn believes that
bill will again pass the house and be.
accepted by the senate.

on his head and his beard are white

barber provokes a violent paroxysm.
His face is the color Of parchment.

racity. His doctors say he may live
five years unless an internal hem
orrhage occurs.
