NEW CANAL TREATY.
To be Finally Drafted and signed In

Important Omission.

Washington, Oct. i0.--Lord Pauuce.
fote will sail for the United States
on the 26th inst, before the British
cabinet council has had an opportuni.
~ TO review the protocols which EN-.
body in principle the proposed new
Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty. IL IL
thought here, however, that that fact
will not delay sensibly the final ne.
gotiations, which will take place here
between Secretary Hay and Lord
Pauncefote, for IL is the intention
that the new treaty shall be finally
drafted and signed In the city oil
Washington. IL is said that when the
new document is framed the FORTH.
cations clause will have been found
to have dropped out, leaving the Unit
ed States at liberty 10 fortify the
canal, but IL is distinctly stated that
IL is not obligated to do so, and IN
fact there is no present intention OF
erecting Notifications, which, 1t is
stated, would be much more expensive
than a fleet OF battleships and less
useful.

THE ELLEN STONE CAST.
NoNews Received at ConstantinopIe,
Up to Noon, Saturday, From
the Searchers.
CONSUL DICKINSON REMAINS At SOFIA.
Difficult Nature OF the Country
and Heavy Rains-Dtrceters of
the Search More Hopeful since
Withdrawal of Troops.

Constantinople. Oct. 20.--Neither w.
W. peet, treasurer of the American
Bible house, nor Spencer Eddy. Sec
retary of the United States legation,
had received any news up To noon,
Saturday. from the missionaries who
are searching for the brigands who
kidnapped Miss Ellen NJ. Stone aud her
companion, Nine. Tsilka.
Messrs. Peet and Eddy had long
conference, as to the advisability of
reinforcing the searchers, but de-
eided that the present arrangements
sufficed.
Consul-General Dickinson remains
at Sofia and will operate from there
until the liberation OF Miss Stone is
accomplished. The difficult nature of
the country handicaps the searchers
and heavy rains have increased the
l=diffieulty of traversing the paths,
which are the only rleans of access to
the hiding places of the bandits in
the rugged mountain range.
Thick mists generally envelop the
region in autumn. preventing even ex-
perienced mountaineers from travel
ing. Early in the week one of the
missionary searehers actually located
the band and was approaching their
retreat when the brigands, apparent.
ly fearing the approach of troops
shifted their quarters and track OF
them was again lost. Now, however
that the troops have been called off
the directors of the search are hope
full of making better progress, though
they point out that even after the
brigands are found, the negotiations
may be prolonged, especially in view
of the lack of telegraph facilities.

MORE NAVAL ENGINEERS.
Melville. Eagineer-la=ehief
Of the NAVY.


Washington. Oct. is.--That there
has been retrogression rather than
advance along engineering lines in the
navy during the past two years. Is the
most significant statement contained
In the annual report of Admiral
George Melville, engineer-ln-chief oi
the navy. lie says that this is not the
time TO entertain the suggestion fre.
quently mnde that separate engineer
corps should again be created. lie
quotes an expression of President
Roosevelt. when assistant secretary
of the navy-"Every officer on a mod
ern war ship has to be fighting en-.
gineer'-in support of his urgent rec.
ommcudatiou that the young candi.
dates of Annapolis be not allowed 10
specialize altogether In other diree.
tions. but that they be assigned IN fur
proportions TO the engineering diyi.
sions lie says II must either COME
to this or the warrant officers, upon
whom are falling all engineering du.
ties. must receive commissioned rank.
Admiral Melville declares that the
number of trained and expert naval
engineers Is being reduced steadily
and tho reduction Is certain TO he
come the more rapid as the old ofli.
GERS take advantage of the retirement
law. lie points to the disablement OF
torpedo boats as a striking result Of
the lack of engineers, for these boats
have no commissioned engineers.
On the other hand, he proudly calls
attention To the overtaking of thu
2O-lnot Colon by the 16-knot Oregon
MS AN example of what can be achieve'
by trained and educated engineer of
fccrs. Therefore, he advises thnt
large number OF junior officers be sen
TO the navy yards for practical engi
neer training; that post grade eng
neering course be established at An
napolis; that stokers be especiali
trained; that torpedo boats be use
TO train machinists; that naval ms
chinists be given special instruction
on repair work at navy yards; tina
deserving naval maebinists. after
I years service be given navy var
duty; that warrant machinists b
plaeed on the same footing as othe
warrant officers, and that special pm
be allowed water tenders of torped
boats.
The engineer-in-chief asks for ne'
building at Annapolis, and an appro
priation of si50,oo0 for experimental
work. lie wants to test liquid fue
the steam turbine and electricity as
prime mover, including the storag
battery. The chief engineer declare
that the wonderful strides made D
Germany In the last ten years can b
ascribed in great part TO the Chariot
tenberg experimental station.

1etting out Of the tsinnd--Ihe
Trend of Igis Arguments - Ia fa-
Nor of EncouraslnE MIA laaas

Washington, Oct. ip.Mr. Henry L.
Cooper. territorial secretary and for
several months prior TO his departure
for the United States acting governor
OF Hawaii. has discussed with seere-
tary OF Agriculture Wilson the CON
ditions in the territory. One of the
main aims OF Mr. Coupers trip here Is
90 aequaint the administration with
the actual situation in Hawaii In his
conference with Secretary Wilson he
emphasized the seriousness of the la
bor problem The natives are dying
off rapidly, the mortality being in the
neighborhood OF forty deaths to the
thousand. and foreign laborers are
getting out of the country much more
rapidly than they are coming In. The
encouragement of Chinese labor,
said he, is regarded as the most prom.
isng solution, and the territorial
government is anxious that large
numbers of lahorers shall come in
from China. The sugar cane crop that
should have been harvested at the be-
ginning of July, he said, is not yet of
the field. aud will not be harvested
before next month. The natives gen.
orally will not work. The coffee in
dustry is languishing and many
things that should be raised there
have To be bought outside the islands
Secretary Wilson informed Mr.. Coop
er of report from the superintend
ent of the agricultural station In
Honolulu showing, among Other
things, that IL costs S26 an acre te
fertilize the cane crop in Hawaii and
pointed out the big farm wage which
has TO be paid to farm laborers, viz:
$40 month including board, which
is, approximately, ten dollars more
than in this country. Mr.. Cooper sug.
| gested that the average farm wage
might be even greater. Secretary
Wilson told Mr.. Cooper of the plans
the department wns making for Ha'
wall. and said that he intended to
build up the coffee, spice and rubber
and other industries and 20 help ts
diversity the Hawaiian industries. NJ
attention will be paid TO the sugni
industry there, as Mr.. Wilson con
tends that that already Is developed
to the limit. The department pur
poses, said Mr.. Wilson, 10 make al
these islands within the United
States raise whatever is adaptable tc
them individually and TO furnish
everything that is needed among
themselves.

TO KEEP OUT CHINESE.
Additional Immigration inspectors to
Be Sent to Porto Rico.

Washington, June 4.-Assistant Sec.
retary Taylor of the treasury depart
ment and Commissioner General Pow
derby have decided to send three i'm.
migrant inspectors to Porto Rico for
permanent duty. 1t is feared that
the recent decision of the supreme
court in the insular cases may slim
ulate Chinese immigration to Porto
Rico with the idea that once there
they cannot be denied admission to
the United States. The collectors of
customs hitherto have acted as in
spectors and will continue to do so.
but the need for additional help in
keeping out the Chinese is apparent
to officials and from now on the ex-
clusion laws will be more rigidly en-
forced.
