friendly terms with the United States.

Austria is AGAINST Our Imports.

Washington, Nov. 20-The bright
prospects Of increased importations
from the United States into Austria
Hungary are not viewed with com
placency in the latter country, accord
ing to report to the state department
from ConsulGeneral Hurst at Vienna,
dated Oct. 2S Austrian manufacture
ers and agriculturalists he says, are
making an organized effort to stem the
inflow of American products, which
last year amounted to about 800
600. The Austrian agriculturalist,
especially, he continues, cries out
against the imports from the United
States of flour, corn, lard and other
articles. Iron, steel and machinery, he
says, already have established them
selves in the empire on a commercial
ly profitable basis and it is feared
that the United States soon will begin
to carry coal to Austrian ports.

DR.. Nancrede testified that such an
injury as the testimony described was
usually caused by undue bending and
twisting the neck. 1t might be
caused by falling from a scaffold, and
it is possible that the man walked
about after receiving the injury. Two

THE CANAL TREATY
New One Signed by Hay and Pounc-
efocte Yesterday.
SEVERAL NEW AMENDMENTS
tion Leaves That Matter Optional to
Y. S.-Now Remains to Be Ratified
BY Senate.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The new
Hay-Paun~Dlo,e treaty was signed yes
terday at l-:O5 Dy Secretary Hay. Tor
the United states, and by Ambassador
Pauncefote Tor Britain.
This treaty is intended to replace
the first Hay PauncefoJe treaty. That
convention was amended so extensive
ly by the United States senate at its
last session that the British govern
ment declined TO ratify it. Within a
few weeks negotiations began afresh
between Secretary Hay and ord
Pauncefote, 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.
The principal point Of difference be
tween the new and the failed treaty is
the withdrawal of Britain from the
joint guarantee of the neutrality of the
canal, thus leaving the United States
the sole guarantor. The eXcision of
the old provision respecting the right
to fortify the canal leaves that right
by inference optional with the United
States. All commerce of whatever
nationality passing through the canal
will fare alike; there will be no dis
elimination in rates in favor of United
States shipping. Otherwise the new
treaty is in scope similar to last years
treaty.
Nothing more remains to be done as
far as this treaty is concerned before
the senate meets. or indeed, until the
treaty shall have been ratified, reject
ed or amended

munication with the customs authori-

deavoring to deliver the Palma trophy
which the Canadian marksmen won at

For some reason the Canadian authori-

trophy, and while General Spencer and
all the other American marksmen are
reluctant to lose the prize which is.
emblematic of the international team
championship, they are more than anx-

shooters who so cleverly won It, Gen
eral Spencer said today that he had no
doubt but that the Canadian customs
officers would surely find loophole
through which the emblem could be
admitted to the Canadian dominion
