In 1883 Mcgrew's grandfather died
and the lad went to Wooster to attend

him clcrkship in his office. which was

Panama Canal Negotiations.

washington, July 4-The negotiations
for the treaty between the United States
and Colombia by which We viii acquire
the right TO build the Panama canal
will begin In about one week, Minister
Concha OF Colombia having conferred
with secy Hay. Mr.. Hay viii be out
of the city for the next few days and on
MS return the negotiations will begin
Minister Concha has been fully clothed
with authority to proceed with the
treaty.
The main features OF the treaty are
pretty well settled, as the protocol sign
ca some time ago was quite full In set
ting forth the prospective arrangement
IN case Congress acted favorably on the
Panama route. The amount TO be paid
Colombia for a REIMBURSEMENT of ex-
elusive rights to the United States Will
be 100000 in gold payable on the
exchange Of ratifications OF the treaty
and In addition Colombia Is TO receive
an annuity at the end OF IL years, TO be
determined by mutual agreement at
that time. This annuity is expected TO
be 100000 n year.
In transferring the right OF Colombia
TO the United States, the language used
by the act Of Congress will be followed
to a considerable extent and there will
be a transfer Of such Jurisdiction over
the six miles zone as will permit the ex-
ercise Of American authority with
American courts. sanitary officers. po-
lice, etc,
The question OF transferring complete
political sovereignty Is about the only
point which could raise obstacles TO the
negotiations but II is understood this
point viii be avoided as the act OF
Congress appears 10 contemplate a
transfer OF jurisdiction and not trans
fer OF political sovereignty.
The Colombian officials at Washing
ton look forward to a successful con-
summation OF the negotiations. They
say. however. that there Is far less pop
ular demand In Colombia for the Pana-
ma canal than there is In Nicaragua for
the Nicaragua route, and this apathy
may delay the conclusion OF the nego-
tiations. The treaty will have 20 be
ratified by the United States senate
and the Colombian Congress before Il
becomes effective.
