TO A DEAD STOP.
Negotiations Are Called Off in the
Canal Treaty.

WASHINGTON inter.
est was displayed in Thursdays meet
ing Of the cabinet, in view of the
near approach of the short congress
sional session.
The president presented his annual
message to congress in completed
form. Most of the features were IA
miliar to the members of the cabinet
and only such parts as had not been
considered previously were read in
full. All of the members were pres
ent except Secretary Root.
Secretary Hay, in presenting the
| canal negotiations, said that they had
| come to dead stop and while no such
thing as an ultimatum had passed,
! the Colombian minister had informed
the state department that he could not
accept the last proposition Of the
United States as a basis of treaty.
The state department has already let
it be known that it had come to the
| end Of its concessions, so the chance
| Of renewal of the negotiations in the
near future were not bright.
This state of affairs would, it was
believed, stimulate the negotiations
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the
alternate route, but it now appeared
that those countries were not disposed
to allow themselves to be used for the
purpose of coercing Colombia, and
were desirous of remaining in the
background until it was certain no
treaty would be made between the
United States and Colombia.
The original Panama concessions
would expire in 1904, and it had been
suggested that the Colombian govern
ment had that fact in mind and was
disposed to daily now in the expecta-
tion that the franchise would relapse
and enable it to build the canal itself
or sell a new concession. Such a
course would raise a serious question
between the Colombian government,
the Panama company, the French gov
ernment and the government of the
United States as to whether a supple
mentary decree extending the conces-
sion ten years from 1904 was valid.

CONGRESS- WORK
CHIEF BUSINESS WILL BE ANTI
COMBINE LEGISLATION.
PLETHORA OF BILLS
Firt Day Will See Many Presented
Dealing with the Subjects of Trusts
Leaders as Yet Appear to Be Un-
decided.

WASHINGTON.-When the house
convenes Monday a perfect deluge OF
bills dealing with the trust question in
all its phases will be thrown into the
legislative hopper. 1t is admitted on
all hands that this will be the most
| important topic of discussion; indeed,
| the leaders incline to the belief that
beyond appropriation bills and routine
legislation, it is the only matter on
! which there is a chance of action.
AS yet the leaders have formulated
no measure and there exists a pretty
wide divergence of opinion as to what
can or should be done, consequently
the presidents recommendations are
awaited with more than usual inter
I est.
The most conservative opinion
among the republican leaders seems to
favor an appropriation for the reform
alton of the Sherman antitrust act.
Such an amendment, it is thought,
could be placed in one CT
the regular appropriation bills and
put through both houses without diff
ficulty, whereas any amendment to
the law itself, no matter how con-
servative, would meet opposition. Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa. chairman of the in
terstate and foreign commerce COM
, mittee, is one of those who believe
that the Sherman law, if enforced, is
ne will introduce a bill apprOpriating
100000 to be used by the department
of justice in the prosecutions under
the present law.
1t is not improbable when the lead
ers ascertain exactly what can be done
that a caucus of republicans will be
called to agree on measure. Mean
time the trust bills introduced will
probably be referred to the judiciary
committee.
There is some question of jurisdic-
ton. If bill invokes the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution it
should properly go to the commerce
committee, and if the taxing power
of the government, to the ways and
means committee; but to secure uni
formity all bills dealing with the sub
ject have gone heretofore to the jul
dietary committee and this practice
will be followed unless a fight for
jurisdiction is made
The leaders have already resolved
to expedite the appropriation bills as
much as possible in order to allow the
largest margin of time for other mat
ters. Mr.. Cannon, chairman Of the ap-
preparation committee, indeed believes
the legislative, executive and judicial,
and the pension bills can be disposed
of before the holidays. His committee
will go to work at once and prepare
the supply bills as rapidly as possible. !
The legislative and pension bills will |
probably be read before the end of the |
week.

Important Capture.
In the arrest Of George Williams, alias
Norville Pettis. the police of the First
District think they have made valuable
capture. having run to earth one Of the
gang under the leadership of the noto-
rious criminal. George Williams, alias
Norfolk who was shot and killed by
the Italian. Cechini. Tuesday night
The negro is also suspected of being one
OF the men who held up and robbed the
Chinaman in his laundry the same night.
The Chinaman was sent-for. but could not
identify the suspect.
When arrested the man gave his name
as George Williams. and later said it was
Norville Pettis. He denied any connection
with the other Williams. declaring that
he did not even know him. He said he
was a dirt-cart driver in Fulton. 1t is
said that there is a reward of $25 offered
for the man. The authorities are holding
him as a suspicious character.
1t is marked fact that since the death
of Norfolk" the reign Of robbery and
crime in Richmond has ceased. and in
it is significant. All of the crimes were
evidently committed by the same band Of
negroes. and there is every reason to be-
Iieye that Norfolk was at the head Of
it. The police believe that the negroes
went about their work in pairs and that
the man Pettis is one of the men who
invaded West Richmond last Tuesday
In the death of the leader it is hoped
that an end is put to hold-ups and petty
