REFORM IN ENGLISH PRISON
SISTER IN VIEW

LONDON, Nov Sin England $
four great convict prisons of Dart
moor. Portland, Parkhurst and Bors-
tai. young convicts are in future to be
treated as class apart, and every
possible means will be employed to
keep them from assOciating with
colder criminals. They will be official
ly known as Juvenile adults the
term applying to those who at the
time of conviction are u years of age
or under. The scheme is already in
force at Dartmoor, where schoolmas-
ters are employed in teaching the
youths. An eX-army officer trains
them in physical culture, and they are
instructed in carpentery to aid them
in earning a living when liberated.
Another advance step in prison reform
has been made by the abolition of
oakum picking by female prisoners.
In its place needlework has been
adopted, and it will in future be the
task of the women convicts to make
their own garments and also those of
the male prisoners.

TO BE REMEMBERED

CHICAGO, H., Nov. S--The six
teenth anniversary OF the execution
Of August Spies, A. X. Parsons. A.
Fischer and G. Engel. known as the
Haymarket anarchists, on Nov. .,
1886, will be commemorated tomorrow
by the local labor and socialist organ
izations. Memorial services will be
held as usual and in the afternoon
delegations will visit Waldheim ceme-
terry and decorate the graves OF the
anarchists. and also the grave Of
Louis Lingg. who killed himself the
night before the execution.
There was time when these ami
versary demonstrations were a source
of much trouble to the police. Fire
brand speeches would be delivered
by Lucy Parsons and others. and 1t
was often found necessary to use
force in breaking up the meetings.
OF recent years. however. the ardor of
the Chicago group of anarchists has
cooled considerably and the anniyer-
sary exercises were usually of an or
derly nature.

TWENT TY
DAYS

NEW YORK, Nov. Sin st. Vim
cents hospital this morning Nellie
Corcoran died after q strange sleep of
over twenty days. She was employed
as servant in Madison avenue resi-
dence. On October IS, while appar-
emily well, she fell into state of un-
consciousness. She was taken to the
hospital, and in few hours she
awoke, and saying: I'm so sleepy"
again entered into a condition of CO.
ma. After four or five days sleep
electricity was applied but it had little
effect on her. She would wake UP
now and then and talk intelligently
for a few minutes, and then go to
sleep again. Hundreds of physicians
examined her and every known effort
made to bring the girl out of her
strange slumber, but 1t was unsucess-
full. Her temperature increased rap
idly, she became emaciated and finally
stopped breathing this morning. after
having slept continuously for over
twenty days.

CANAL TREATY EXPECTED SOON.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Nov. S.
The negotiations for canal treaty are
now in progress with the prospect of
being rapidly pushed to success, as the
only obstacle now existing is believed
to be the matter of compensation to
the Colombian government.
Senior Conchas, the Colombian
minister, called on Secretary Hay at
the state department by appointment
to take up the subject The interview
lasted about half an hour, and the
preliminary steps toward an agree
ment We're taken. 1t is indicated from
what can be learned at the legation
that Mr.. Conchas has resumed nego-
tions of his own initiative. though he
expects special instructions on certain
points involved.
The minister submitted a definite
proposition, which is in the nature of
answer to the treaty proposed by the
United States. Secretary Hay will
take no further steps until the presi-
dent returns to Washington and has
had an opportunity to consider this
last proposition.
The details of the Colombian propo-
sition are withheld. The one import
ant fact developed. however, is that it
is not obnoxious to the spirit of the
Spooner law, and therefore the Off
cials felt warranted in the statement If
there We're any difficulties in the way
they were not legal in character This
is taken to mean that the main issue
remaining to be settled is one of
price; the Colombian government
wants sl0,0OO,00O instead of $1,000, 900
proposed by the United States. besides
a different arrangement for the annual
payments. 1t is believed that the diff
ference is not large enough to serious
ly retard the close of the negotiations.

ham today and will remain there dur
ing the coming week. He is accom-
panied by a small suite. including the
imperial chancellor and two physi-
clans. Though the visit is osteDsibly
