London, Nov 19.-Except as afford
ing chance for the opposition jour
nails to attack the government and the
foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne,
the signing of the new isthmian canal
convention does not excite strong in
terest in Great Britain. 1t Is gener-
ally admitted that the British have
nothing to gain by a retention of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, while they
have much to gain by the construc-
ton of the canal The Morning
Post congratulates both countries on
the completion of the treaty and says
1t is glad that the convention of 1900
has been revised in accordance with
American wishes. The Daily Mail
fears that the signing may not termi-
nate forever troublesome dispute
and thinks Canada ought to receive
some equivalent for the concessions
which probably have been made. The
Daily Chronicle characterizes the
new treaty as full acceptance by
Great Britain of the Monroe doctrine, ;"
and says it would be strange indeed if
the senate should object to such one
sided bargain.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The new
Hay-P -Pauncefote treay was signed
yesterday by Secretary Hay for the
United States and Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, for Great
Britain.
The principal point Of difference be-
tween the new and the failed treaty
is the withdrawal OF Great Britain
from the joint guaranty of the neutral
ity of the canal, thus leaving the
United States the sole guarantor
The excision Of the old provision re-
specting the right to fortify the canal
leaves that right by inference op-
tional with the United States, All
commerce of whatever nationality
passing through the canal will fare
alike; there will be no discrimination
of rates in favor of United States ship
ping.
Otherwise the new treaty is in scope
similar to last years treaty. It re-
places technically the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, concluded on April 10, 1850.
By the terms Of that old convention
the United States and Great Britain
agreed that neither should seek any
advantage in rights of transit across
the isthmus. BY the new convention
Great Britain yields It's right in favor
of the United States, which is thus at
liberty to construct canal
A London dispatch gives what 1t
claims is the text of the new Mica
ragua canal treaty. It provides for
absolute neutrality, war vessels even
of belligerents having the right to
passage and immunity from attack
within three miles of port. After CIV
ing the preamble the dispatch con-
tinues: ut Is agreed that the canal
may be constructed under the auspices
of the government of the United
States. either directly at its own cost
or by gift, by loan to individuals
or corporations or through subscrip-
ton to or purchase of stock shares
and that subject to the present con-
tention said government have and en-
Joy all the rights incident to such
construction as we'll as the exclusive
right of providing for the regulation
and management of the canal"

5000 FOR ST.

John Blakely, of w. Lebanon, Pa ,

BILE. He says: ''After all my expert

there was no cure for me. l was so
weak and nervous L could hardly

There is a reason. No food in exis-
tence contains, in a concentrated
form, the elements that will rebuild
the nerve certers and the brain as
Grape-Nuts, and the beauty of the
food is that it is perfectly cooked at
the factory and by the process of man

therefore requires but tritling power
of the stomach to digest it.

WHERE ARE We ATT
Peculiar Predicament for Rock
Island County in Congress
sional Apportionment.
MARSH MEN HAVE OBJECTIONS
Too Much Influence and Too
Many Aspiring Statesmen
Up This Way.
MARSH MEN HAVE OBJECTIONS

Apropos the latest proposed schemes
for congressional gerrymander of ILL
nois. and the objection alluded to in
yesterdays ARGUS as having been
raised in the other counties to the
placing of Rock Island county in the
Marsh district, the following from
the Monmouth Review of last evening
is interesting:
1.-The congressional superintendent
scheme, which was decided upon by
the committee of the general Assem- :
bly, Wednesday evening, struck snag
yesterday. The trouble came from
Marsh s district, too.
The plan was to make up the dis
trict with Rock Island, Mercer. Hem
derson, Warren, Hancock and Nc
Donough counties. This would have
made solid repub lican district, Han
cock being the only democratic coun-
ty in the bunch.
The Nature OF the Obi ectiOns.
"But for various reasons. princi-
pally because of the large vote she
would have in nominating conven-
ton, and because Of her own aspiring
statesmen, Rock Island was not
wanted in the district. Consequently
the proposition was made to drop
Rock Island and add Adams, and this
met with favor from all over the dis
trict.
.Other objections to the map were
made, so the subcommittee held
another meeting last night, but moth
ing definite was accomplished so far
as has yet been learned. The only
change that was seriously considered
was the one for this district. 1t in
wolves the elimination of Rock Island
and the substitution of Adams, and
possibly also Schuyler or Brown,
which are in the present district"
Placed In = Peculiar PredIcament.
This leaves Rock Island county out
in the cold, where she has been, for
that matter, as far as the nomination
is concerned. since the last apportion-
ment was made. The aspiring poll
ticians may, therefore, in the face of
the present status of the situation,
ask, "where are we at?" The county,
which seems to be without friends at
Springfield, as well as at Washington,
will be obliged. apparently, to tag on
either to the Prince or the Hit dis
trict, unless signs fail. Rock Island
is too influential and has too many
would-be statesmen TO be acceptable
company in tbs districts that are
being mapped out for the old-timers.

PROSPECTIVE oRooMs
SHOULD TAKE NOTICE

A young man from this city who
was married few days ago made an
error on the day of his wedding that
came near costing him deal of NOR
LITIGATION. The happy event was ar
ranged to take place on a certain
evening at place not in Rock Island
county. On the morning of that day
the prospective bridegroom secured a
license to wed from County Clerk
Hubbard and went on his way re-
joicing.
During the day the entry of the
license in the county records came
under the eye of kind friend who
happened to know where the knot
was to be tied. He called the groom
to- be by telephone and asked if the
arrangements had been changed.
Finding they had not, he informed
his complacent friend that his license
wouldn't do.
OF course the matrimonial permit
was hastily exchanged for the dollar
1t cost and the names were scratched
from the records. County Clerk Hub
bard desires it stated. however, that
it isn't always possible to give the
dollar back, especially in the busy
season. and other young men should
bear the fact in mind.

no doubt but that the club will have
plenty of funds to start the season

attendance this year will be larger
than during any of the recent sea-
sons of baseball in this city. With
81. 500 to start out the season, it is
felt that they will be in position to
weather any poor period that may I'M
