MAY FORTIFY THE CANAL
FortiilcatiOns Clause Will be Dropped
Out of the New Canal Treaty.

Washington, Oct. lS.-Lord Paunce-
fote will sail for the United States on
the 26th inst, before the British cabi-
net council has an opportunity to re-
view the protocols which embody in
principle the proposed Hay-Paunce-
fote canal treaty. 1t is thought here,
however. that this fact will not delay
sensibly the final negotiations, which
will take place here between Secretary
Hay and Lord Pauncefote, for it is
the intention that the new treaty shall
be finally drafted and signed in the
city of Washington. 1t is said that
when the new document is franz the
"fortifcations" clause will have to
be dropped out, leaving the United
States at liberty to fortify the canal,
but it is distinctly stated that it is not
obligated to do so, and, in fact, there
is no present intention OF erecting
fortifcations, which, it is stated,
would be much more expensive than a
fleet of battleships and less useful.

The Humboldt Herald argues that
the fact that Humboldt beat the Bos-
ton Bloomer Girls 10 to 4 and lola
lost to 4, Humboldt has better
team. Webster's dictionary gives
this meaning to i'good:" "kind, be-
nevolent, gracious, humane, merci-

MT all of these things and that of the
Humboldt team none of these. And

now assured. Secretary Gage may not
be willing to order the customs Off
Gals at New York to waive the Gus
toms tax of 25 cents per bushel on the

remit the duties on the importation of
this wheat I will import it for the

BILLS RATIFYING TREATIES
Passed by the Senate After Amend
ing, to Please indians.
SETTLES MINERAL LEASES.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate in
short order passed the two bills ratify-
ing and confirming the agreement
with the Cherokee and Creek tribes of
Indians in the Indian Territory. No
changes were made in the senate and
the bills were passed as they came
from the house, with the exception of
the amendment made by the senate
committee The senate committee
struck out the townsite provision of
the house, and substituted a paragraph
that all towns In the Cherokee nation
having the present population of 200 or
more, shall be surveyed, layed out and
appraised under the provisions of the
appropriation bill passed last spring,
which was approved May 81, last.
This is in lieu of sections 16-17-1s of
the house bill providing for separate
townsite committees for each town
and directing how the same shall be
constituted and also how all contro-
versies of claims of town lots shall be
determined. The senate also struck
out the mineral provisions adopted by
the house as set forth in section 80 of
the house bill changing the provision
in the treaties with the Chickasaws
and Choctaws in this respect, that
instead of the proceeds of the sale of
minerals going to the school fund they
60 to the Indians direct. The same
changes in regard to townsites apply
to the Creek treaty, as do also the
provisions relating to the mineral
leases. Touching the matter OF town
sites as compared with the treaties
with the Chickasaws and Choctaws,
the present treaties require the work
to be done under the provisions of the
last appropriation bill, while under
the other treaties the matter is left to
a permanent committee in each town.
The treaties will probably be referred
back to the house for conference, and
IT is expected that Representatives
Curtis, of Kansas; Lacey, of Iowa, and
Little, of Arkansas, will be the house
referees.
