MAY COME TO SEE US
Believed Offer Of Statue by Kaiser
Will be Followed by
a Visit.

Washington, May 19.-Officials in
Washington are specializing over the
probability of VISIT to this country by
the emperor of Germany. The offer by
the kaiser of a statue of Frederick the
Great, and the acceptance by President
Roosevelt go far as the executive branch
of the government is concerned, is said
to be the first move in the direction of a
visit from the kaiser himself.
The emperor's gift will have to be
accepted by congress /; but those who are
talking of the probable visit say there
will be no trouble on that score, as con-
gress undoubtedly will accept the statue
in the same spirit in which it is offered.
The unwilling of the monument will
probably be the occasion of visit, if it
is made. Officials refuse to discuss the
matter.
London, May 19.-The evening news
papers say that the bronze statue OF
Frederick the Great, which the emperor
is sending to Washington as a gift to the
American people, is copy of Prof. Up
hue's celebrated work in the Sieges
Halle, Berlin, copies of which already
exist at Potsdam and Emden. Your
correspondent learns that the kaiser has
ordered statue of Frederick the Great
from Prof. Uphue at Manchester, and
this is undoubtedly the statue to be
presented to the United States.

This, in a measure, is thought to &C.

the members of the Chinese embassy
have regarded the passage OF the bill, as
they subsidized into suspiciously pleas

WI Ting Fang is quoted as having said

they understood It's provisions. Certain
it is, however, that the agitation which
will now be made will be anything but

CANAL TREATIES
DRAFTS OF AGREEMENTS SENT
TO THE SENATE.
They Are Not Considered Is Treaties. and
win Not Be Fully Negotiated Until
Congress Selects . Route Nicaragua
ASKS $6.000.000 and an Annuity Of
$4,000. What She Grants.

Washington, d. c., May l6-The
negotiations between Secretary Hay and
the ministers from Colombia, Nicaragua
and Costa Rico, looking to the acquire
ment of the necessary rights for the
construction by the United states
government of either the Panama or the
Nicaraguan canal have at last been con-
cluded.
The agreements were sent to the
senate, accompanied by letter from
Secretary Hay. The secretary, in trans
hitting the agreements, made no COM
ments upon them. They are, as stated
at the department, engagements to
enter into treaty relations with the
United States upon the basis herein
stated after congress shall have selected
route and the president shall have
been duly authorized.
In the view of the department, there
fore, these are not, techinally speaking,
treaties; but in view of the other
negotiations they are practically conven-
tions OF q treaty character and are so
regarded by them.
The draft. treaty or agreement SUBJ
mitted by Mr.. Corea, the. Nicaraguan
minister, was a revision OF protocol
drawn up by Secretary Hay in February.
This document embodied the views of a
number of senators as to what cOnces-
sions Nicaragua should make in the
canal matter. 1t was referred to Mr..
Corea, who thereupon pointed out to
Secretary Hay number of instances in
which the provisions OF the agreement
clashed with the constitution of his
government. Mr.. Hay modified the
agreement somewhat, according to Mr.
Mr.. Corea's suggestions and its tenor
then was communicated to the Nicar-
aguan government, which in turn made
several more alterations and then en-
powered the minister to present the doc
ument in its amended form to the state
department. The Nicaraguan agreement
provides for the lease OF a strip of land
which shall be ten miles wide while a
canal is in course of construction and
afterwards be shortened to six miles.
The price stipulated is $1,000, 600, to.
gether with an annuity of $25, 900, NOM
NAL sum, intended merely to serve as a
material reminder of Nicaragua sover-
eighty over the leased land. The treaty
empowers the United States to use the
civil force to preserve peace and good
order within the belt. No provision, it
is stated, is made for the judicial admin
istration over the belt.
In case the canal belt is in time of war
threatened by any foreign government
the United States is given full power to
send either her military or naval forces, or
both, into the canal belt to protect it and
to fulfill the guarantees of sovereignty
over the belt which this government
would warrant to both Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA.

Here is very curious relic which

the days of old Rome. AT their desks sit
the children and on the wall hang two

Scholars, however. are unable to find
any meaning in the words engraved on
the relic. which is of stone and in the
form Of tablet The reason probably
Is because some of the letters have been
erased. The only point on which they
agree is that the word Vest refers to
the linen or calico buster which may be
seen hanging between the two states,
and which was evidently used to clean
them.
The context shows that this is the
most plausible Interpretation of the

IN TEXAS THIS Time.
Ninety People Killed and Over a
Hundred Wounded at
GOIiad.

Dallas, Texas, Mvy Is -A special to
the News from Goliad, Texas, says:
Ninety are dead. Over hundred are
wounded. In addition there is a gaping
wound in the town-the path of one OF
the most destructive cyclones ever known
in Texas. The tornado struck this place
about 3 AS o'clock yesterday afternoon,
lasting only about five minutes, leaving
death and disaster everywhere in its
wake.
1t came from the southeast, without a
warning, completely demolishing a strip
about two blocks wide through the whole
western part of the town, about a mile
long. Among the many houses demol-
ished are the Baptist church and parson-
age, just built, the Methodist church and
a colored church. Damage done cannot
be appropriated, but it is very great. All
the human dead and wounded have been
taken care of.

DOWlE'S DAUGHTER DEAD.
She Was Horribly Burned. Her Hair Catching
Fire Grom q Gas Jet.


Chicago, May 16.-Esther Dowie, the
daughter of DR.. Alexander Dowie, pro-
prietor of "Zion," died Thursday night
of burns, having suffered for hours while
"Elijah II'' prayed over her.
Miss Dowie was % years old and stu
dent at the University of Chicago. Yes
terday morning her hair caught fire from
a gas Jet and her head and face were hor-
ribly burned. Nurses placed salve on the
patents wounds. as the Dowie doctrines
allow for the use of medicine externally.
Meanwhile the "Divine healer" was
hurrying to the bedside from his new
city of Zion at Waukegan. Upon his
arrival the attendants were excluded
from the room and Dowie sank to his
knees in prayer. His supplications last
ed all day. He refused to cease even to
take the nourishment, which his follow
ers pressed upon him. The patient was
unconscious much of the time.
The patient died at 9 o'clock in great
agony, having returned to consciousness
a short time before. News of the death
did not come out until today when the
coroner was notified. An inquest was tet
for IL o'clock today.
Chicago, May 16.-The coroners' jury
which was summoned to hold an inquest
over the remains of the daughter OF Dr.
Dowie. returned verdict of death from
accidental causes. Two physicians were
present before she died, and pronounced
her case hopeless.

A DIFFERENT REPORT.
LEADERS at Boer Conference Appear to Favor
Continuation OF War.

London, May 20.-A dispatch to the
Times from Pretoria says that about 100
Boer leaders are assem- bled at Vreenig-
ing, and that their demeanor leads one
to suppose they will vote in favor OF a
continuation of hostilities, but the fact
that the voting is by balloting may turn
the balance to the side of peace.
Whatever the direct result of the con-
terence may be, says the correspondent,
the end of the war is not distant, be-
cause the conference will probably be
followed by numerous surrenders in va
rlous directions, enabling large bodies OF
British troops to be liberated and poured
INTO the resisting districts.

Washington, May 19.-With the adop-
ton Saturday OF the amendment to the
navy bill of the provision for quay wall
at the Puget Sound navy yard, to cost
$50, 900, the house naval affairs commit
tees appropriation for that yard is
raised to about 81, loo 900. The impor-
tant fact appeared in Saturdays debate
on the floor of the house that Represent
alive Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, and
one of the most influential members OF
the lower branch of congress, is a firm
friend of the Puget Sound yard and that
he does not hesitate to place it in open
comparison with the Mare Island yard.
A stenographic report of his remarks
follows:
81 want to say just word about this
navy yard. 1t seems to me that God
MADE this location for navy yard
There is no danger OF deterioration, no
danger of any falling in behind"
Mr.. DaytOn-NOt the slightest.

all admit of Puget Sound that it is an
admirable situation. | wish could say

coast and the Atlantic coast. / want
also to compliment the department on
the improvements that are made at this
navy yard, a great dock, up-to-date shops

expenditure made. Now we have

sufficient to be comfortable, but modest
and not extravaganza.

1t is certain that all appropriations

be retained.

ANTHRACITE MINE WORKERS IN
CONVENTION,
Decide to Make the Present Condition p.,.
"snt-Consdsrsd Not Unlikely That the
Strike will be Carried Into the Bituminou.
District'-Opsrators Asains, ANY Conces.
sions-MiteheII Was for Peace.

Hazelton, Pa, May 16.-The anthra.
cite mine workers, in convention yester.
day afternoon, decided to continue the
strike OF the l45,0OO men against the
mine owners and to fight it out TO the
bitter end. The matter of calling ont
the engineers, tiremen and pump run
ners Will be decided by the delegates
tomorrow.
While the leaders are cautious and will
notforecast their actions, it is not nlikely
that the miners fight will be carried into
the bituminous coal regions and into
other fields of industry. Mine workers
Tor eight months have been looking for.
ward to the strike that is now pom them
For the strike they have saved their
money and are considered to be in better
shape today for fight than they were in
the great strike of 1900. That struggle
ended in the mine owners giving the men
10 per cent advance after six weeks
suspension. The operators are on record
as being unalterably opposed to granting
the men any concessions, and they have
personally informed the mine workers
leaders OF that fact. The workmen fear
that the present fight may mean the de-
struction of their organization, because
they believe that the mine owners are
more bent on wrecking their union than
they are in opposing the demands for
higher wages and shorter work days.
Mithcell Was for Peace.
President Mtchell's advice to the
miners was for peace, and he gave it to
them in the plainest and most forceiul
of language. He was ably assisted by
President Fahey and Secretary Hartley,
of the lower district, and Secretary
Dempsey, of the upper territory. Pres
ident Nicolls. of the first district, was
the first great champion of the strike
advocates. Mr.. Mitchell, who was
the last to speak, was listened to
with the greatest attention. 1t is also
said that telegram was received from
the American Federation of Labor
against permanent suspension. But
the delegates would not listen and amid
suppressed excitement the vote was
taken. For time it looked as though
the peace advocates would win, but
when delegation after delegation from
the lower district, the last to be called,
answered "yes," it was seen that the
men who favored the fight had won.
The result was received by the conven-
ton with applause, which, however, was
not very enthusiastic or prolonged.
The men appreciated the seriousness of
their decision, which no doubt dampen-
ed their ardor.
The miners insist that nearly all the
engineers, firemon and pump-runners
belong to their organization and saw
that they can get all to quit if they want
to. In the event this Is brought about,
it would do incalculable damage to the
mines through flooding unless the COM
panies can fill the mems places.
President Mitchell was apparently in
good humor. He was pressed for a
statement on the situation, but he
politely refused Wilkesbarre will prob
ably be the strike headquarters.

PALMA'S ADVISERS
President Announces His Cabinet.
Inaugural Festivities
at Havana.

Havana, May l7.-President Palma
announced his cabinet as follows:
Diego Tamayo list)-Secretary
OF government, new portfolio. He will
have charge of the rural guard, santa
offices and signal services.
Carlos Zaldo Republican -aut ono.
mist)-Department of state and Justice.
Emilio Terry independently depart
ment of agriculture.

The festivities which will continue for
a week, began with banquet in honor
of Gov. Gen. Wood and the other Amer.
lean officers, given by the veterans of the
wars for Cuban independence. 1t was
held in the Tacon theater.
Picturesque Body Of Men
Around the board was gathered a
picturesque body of men, who had
swept the island with fire and sword in
the long fight against Spain. Gen. Max.
imo Gomez, former commander-in-chief
OF the cuban army, and the idol OF the
Cuban people, presided. At his right
sat Governor Wood, and at his left sat
Senior Palma. Next to President Palma
sat William j. Bryan. Gonzales De
Quesada, former Cuban commissioner in
Washington, acted as POSTMASTER.
MIR. Bryan received great demonstra-
ton. The subject of his speech was
Patriotism" and in conclusion he said
he would rather see the Stars and Stripes
live in the hearts of the Cubans than
float over their country.
The climax was reached when General
Wood was introduced. A wonderful
scene followed. The whole assemblage
rose and cheered him. The ladies in the
boxes waved their handkerchiefs and
everybody remained standing until he
had completed his speech.
Replying to Gen. Wood, Gen. Gomez
said their one aspiration was to emulate
the American republic, to which the
hearts of Cubans went out in gratitude.

DIR. Hart has made the remarkable

There in these still and dark and

that not only. fish brood, but mature

be found at other places as well as
near the coasts.
Not of the least significance is the
finding Of cod in the deep places of
the sea, says the Nineteenth Century,
as In this discovery we have the key
to solve the mystery as to where the
cod abides when he withdraws from
the coasts. In the great cod fisheries
off the coast of Newfoundland the fish

shallow water near the shore and use
