CANAL PROGRESS MADE.
Secretary Hay Shows Canal Treaty
Negotiations are Nearing
Their Conclusion.
Attitude of Colombian Negotiators
Will Permit Framing of
Acceptable Treaty.
Will Be in Strict Conformity With
Spirit and Letter of the
Spooner Act.

Washington, Nov. 11-Secretary
Hay was in conference during the day
with Senator Cullom, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
and also with Senator Morgan, the sen.
1or member of the minority of the
same committee. Canal matters were
under discussion and the secretary
was able to show that substantial prog
ress is making toward the completion
OF treaty with the Colombian gov
eminent conveying the necessary
rights for the construction of canal
across the isthmus of Panama. In
fact so well have the; negotiations
progressed lately between Secretary
Hay and Senor Concha, the Colombian
minister, that it is now expected that
by the end of the present week all of
the phases of the proposition will have
been disclosed, and little will remain
to be done to conclude the convention.
1t can be stated that the attitude Of the
Colombian negotiators presents no in
surmountable obstacle, and that a
treaty can be framed acceptable to
both sides, yet in strict conformity
with the spirit of the Spooner act.

military director of the Colombian rev.
olution has learned that the Colombian
government has issued orders to Cen
eral Tovar to imprison General Uribe
Tribe and sentence him to death with.
out mercy.

government proposed to limit the
scope Of the conference which was to
be held on the battleship Wisconsin to
discussion of the terms of the degree
of amnesty. caused General Vargas.
Santos to refuse to attend the confer
ence.
The order to execute General Uribe.
uribe was issued in spite of the fact
that he capitulated to the government
forces at Rio Frio last month.
The receipt of this news, which is
considered in Colombian revolutionary
circles to be a shameful violation o.
public faith. further decided General
Vargas-Santos not to attend the peace
conference at Panama and he issued
orders to the Colombian revolutionary
army to continue it's warfare
General Vargas-Santos declares he is
willing to make peace providing that
the Colombian government will recog
nize the civil and political rights of

not otherwise.

IMPROVED MUSkET TESTED.
General crozier Says the New Weapon

Washington, Nov. 11.-General Will

ordnance, in his annual report to the
secretary of war, says the improved
musket has been completed and tried
with very satisfactory results, the va
rious changes not only improving the
weapon, but cheapening and accelerat.
ing the production. The rod bayonet

vantage is said to lie in the fact that
it lightens the weight of the gun and
dispenses with the bayonet and bay
onet scabbard now in use, and in the
place of which intrenching tools may
be carried. The new piece weighs but
little less than 9h pounds, consid-
erably lighter than the German piece
and the Mauser, but has greater We
locity and greater penetration. It is
noted that opinions differ as to the
value. of the rod bayonet. The con-
struction of 5000 of the new muskets
has been authorized.
General Crozier embraces in his re-
port the conclusion of the board Of
ordnance and fortification on the test
of the several systems for new field

ment model is superior. The report
also covers the various types of noun

clares them to be no better than the

DELEGATION SEES ROOSEVELT.
Wants United States to Control the
Isle of Pines,

Isle of Pines.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE question
of the control of the Isle of Pines was
brought directly to the attention of
President Roosevelt during the day.
A delegation consisting of S. H. Pear
cy. ]. H. Randall, T. J. Keena and J.
H. Hill, all citizens of the United
States residing in the Isle of Pines, was
introduced to the president by Senator
Cullom of Illinois, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations.
1t was shown that the party repre-
sented more than 800 citizens of the
United States who have taken resi-
dence in the Isle of Pines. Many have
made large investments on the isl
and in land and improvements, under
the belief that the United States would
control it. The president was in
formed that more than half of the ISL
and is owned by American citizens.
AS a result Of the turning over of the
Isle of Pines to the republic of Cuba
for administrative purposes, things are
said by the delegation to be in a
chaotic state 1.-THE island. There is
not notary public or a judicial Of
f1cer on the island. The delegation is
informed that the republic of Cuba
claims the Isle of Pines and proposes
to establish prisons, penal colonies and
a leper hospital there. Such a course,
if pursued, the delegation indicated to
the president, would wipe out every
dollar invested in the island.
President Roosevelt promised to con-
slider the subject, but indicated no line
of procedure he was likely to take.
The delegation later called on Secre-
taries Hay and Root.

MORE OFFICERS NEEDED.
Critical Condition of the Navy Due to
Absence Of Trained Men.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE most cry.
ing need of the navy, according to the
annual report of Admiral H. C. Tay-
lor, chief of the bureau of navigation,
is more officers to man our warships.
He declares that the preparations now
going on for the mobilization of the
fleet for tho winter maneuvers in the
West Indies has brought the depart
ment face to'face with the critical con-
dition due to lack of officers, which.
he says, has reached such point as
to be dangerous to the efficiency of the
fleet. He says that the number of of.
ficers on our ships is less than the
number on board the ships Of other
napies, although as a matter of fact
our ships require more officers than
the ships of other navies. because We
are compelled to man our ships with
green crews, having little or no
knowledge of sea life. .a

In the development of the presi-

NEGRO FOR A WITNESS.
In That Capacity He May Shed Light
on Massachusetts, Murder.


Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11-George
L. O. Perry, the negro who admits that
he pawned the watches taken from
Clara A. Morton and Agnes McPhee,
who were murdered in Waverly and
Somerville last month, was taken to
court during the day.
After conference between the state
officers and Judge Charles Almy, Perry
was ordered held as a witness against
Mason. His bail was fixed at $1,000.
1t is understood that the decision of
the police to hold Perry as a witness
instead Of arraigning him as an ac-
cessory was due chiefly to the fact
that as a witness Perry cannot only
give testimony against Mason but can
be forced to tell of his own move
ments and every relation he has had
with others during the time the as
saults have been committed in Cam
bridge, Somerville and other suburbs.
1t is believed so complicated has the
case become that both the common
wealth and the defense will ask for an
other continuance in order that they
may have time for continued investi-
cation.
The Cambridge police are now
strongly OF the opinion that there is
another negro who knows something
OF the whole case, particularly about
the watches. He is older than Perry
and is blacker.
The man for whom the police are
hunting has been missing since the ar
rest of Alan G. Mason.

According TO the yearly custom ofour
people, IL falls upon the President at this
season to appoint day of festival and
thanksgiving to God.
over a century and quarter has passed
since this country took its place among
the nations of the earth, aud during that
time we have had on the whole more to
be thankful tor than has fallen to the lot
OF any other people. Generation after
generation has grown to manhood and
passed away. Each has had 10 bear its
peculiar burdens, each to face its special
crises, and each has known years of grim
trial, when the country was menaced by
malice, domestic or foreign levy, when
the hand of the Lord was heavy upon il
in drouth Ur flood or pestilence, when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul it
paid the penalty of folly and a frOward
heart. Nevertheless, decade by decade,
we have struggled onward and upward !;
we now abundantly enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor OF the Most
High we are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The year
that has just closed has been one Of peace
and OF oveifiowing plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed greater prosperity
than we are Low enjoying. For this we
rem er heartfelt and solemn thanks TO the
Giver Of Good and we seek to praise
Him not by words, but by deeds, by the
way in which we do our duty TO ourselves
