THE PRICE ASKED.
Colombia Wants S5OO,OOO for First
Fourteen Years for Canal Rights.

Washington, April 19-The Colom-
bian canal protocol which was deliv-
cred at the state department on
April / and afterward recalled by
Minister ConCha for notifications,
was again presented to Secretary
Hay yesterday. The proposal as to
price is set out as follows:
One year after the exchange of
ratifcations of a treaty, the United
States shall pay Colombia the lump
sum of $1,0OO,OOO. This figure will
represent II years rental at 100000
a year. At the end of IA years, the
price which the United States shall
pay each year is to be fixed by mutual
consent of the two countries. In case
the parties cannot agree upon a sum,
it will be left to an arbitrator select
ed between the two governments.
The protocol provides for the APP
pOintment of joint commission rep
resenting Colombia and the United
States, which will arrange and pro-
vide for all matters pertaining to the
administration of affairs within the
proposed canal belt, including the
membership of the mixed tribunals
for the administration of justice and
other steps necessary to the joint oc-
cupation of the belt. 1t is realized
that the building of a Panama canal
would bring great numbers of per-
sons of all sorts and conditions to
the isthmus and for this reason it
has been provided that the policing
of the strip shall De performed by
both American and Colombian con-
stables, neither of these nationalities,
it is held, being efficient without the
aid of the other.
Viewed as a study and as a com
prehensive presentation, the protocol
is regarded very favorably at the
state deDartment.

BUSINESS INCREASED.
IL. G.. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade.

New York, April 19.-R. G.. Dun e.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Weather conditions have been potent
for good during the past week. Re-
tail distribution was greatly acceler-
ated, which in turn enlarged jobbing
trade and brought more pressure on
manufacturers for prompt shipment;
agricultural work was facilitated and
building operations made rapid prog
ress. Some labor controversies were
settled and others were averted. Com
plants are still heard regarding
tardy deliveries, but freight is less
congested, and business has increased
to the extent of SO per cent.
Quotations of iron and steel can
not yet be considered inflated, but
the market is following in a natural
course, despite the efforts of leading
interests to maintain a conservative
position. Supply and demand must in
the long run govern prices, and in
this industry, needs are larger than
available stock, though productive
capacity has largely expanded. Pres
sure for pig iron is very great, but
furnacemcn have contracted for
consumers who want prompt deliy-
rey are willing to pay premiums.
Similarly as to steel rails, the rcgu-
lar price of S2S has become nominal
on current business and an advance
of s. a ton being readily pair for inn
mediate delivery. This is especially
noticeable on urgent trolley con-
struction. Specifications for new
buildings promise abundant addition
al contracts for structural material,
while some mills have already sold
their entire output for 1902. Machin-
cry and hardware lines share in the
exceptional activity, and are doing
brisk export business in spite of high
prices.
Cotton goods have not followed the
fluctuations in the raw material, al
though it's strength has contr buted
to the steadiness of the fiji shed
product.
Grain and meats have continued
very strong.
Wheat was sustained by exports
from all ports of 4,4S5,352 bushels,
flour included, against 4,6l3, S0l year
ago.
Cotton attained higher price,
southern markets leading the adj
vance on decreasing port receipts and
a good demand from spinners.
Failures for the week numbered
POI in the United States. against
POO last year, and p in Canada,
against p year ago.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Detroit SaIOOnIseeper Shot and Killed
by His Brother.

Detroit, Mich, April 1S.-Edward
Hawley, aged about Al years, was
shot and instantly killed by his broth
er, James Hawley, who is about so
years of age, in their saloon at the
corner of River and Nineteenth
streets last night.
Edward, James and Luke Hawley
are well-known river men, owners of
a tug line and other vessel property,
also the saloon in which the shooting
occurred. The three brothers were
engaged in an argument about u ves-
sci just purchased by Ed. al Luke
and the latter were trying to induce
James to take share in the new
boat. James accused his brothers of
trying to bluff" him into the deal.
Ed. then playfully brushed James
face with bunch of shrubs which he
had in his hands, and James warned
Ed. not to do that again or he would
shoot. Ed. repeated the act and
James shot him in the right breast.
He died in a few minutes and James
surrendered to the police. At tho
police station James said "they forced
me to do it."

MARGARET OF con-
NAUGHT.

Princess Margaret's profile and the
contour of her face.
1t has been remarked more than
once that the sprightliness that is so
characteristic of both Princess Mar
garet and her younger sister, Princess
Patricia, must have come to them
from their amiable father, rather than
from the duchess, who never has fully
overcome the shyness that once was
almost malady with her. She was
the daughter of Prince Charles Fred
erick of Prussia, and when first she
settled in England her timidity made
life a burden to her. At the first din
ner parties at which she was obliged
to preside as hostess she was so nerv-
Gus that she used never to dare to lift
a glass of wine to her lips for fear of
spilling it, and even now she appears
at great functions as seldom as
possible, and infinitely prefers a
small dinner with two or three close
friends. Her married life, however,
has been fairly happy. She is proud
of the great popularity which her hus-
band, the duke, enjoys, and he relies
more than little on her tact and iudg-
ment
For the first time, the Connaughts
are about to have home of their own
in London. Hitherto, this section of
the royal family has lived for the most
part at the dukes country place, Bag
shot park, in Surrey, and when in town
have had apartments in Buckingham
palace. Now, however, Clarence house,
the square saffron-colored mansion
hard by old st. James palace, is be-
ing entirely reftted for them. Until
recently it has been the home of the
kings widowed sister-in-law, the duch-
ess of Saxe-Coburg. The Connaughts
are to move in Immediately, and it is
expected that the duke viii entertain
lavishly during the coronation sea

Elderly Women In white,

There is considerable criticism in
French circles over the fact that at
recent wedding not only the bride, but
the mother of the bride, was attiret
in a white gown. The gown in ques-
ton was, to be sure, heavy white
guipure, trimmed with bands of err
mine, costume certainly sufficiently
rich and elaborate to suit a woman
only little over 40. 1t is, however, a
noticeable fact that large number of
women past their youth are wearing
white for the daytime and finding it
becoming. AS couturiere approached
on the subject said: "A woman is
nsver too old to wear white, but she
may be too ugly. A Apretty woman may
wsar white until she is so, but an ugly
rznsp should never wear It,"

ticers yesterday as he stepped off a
Mexican Central railroad train direct
from Mexico with valuable jewels,
watches, Mexican drawn work and
other valuables. Weisenberger had

GRIM ES ACT.
PrOcIaiming of IL In Ireland Stirs Up
the Nati0naIists In Parliament.

London, April 1S.-In the house of
commons Thursday, John Redmond,
the Irish nationalist leader, speaking
OF the crimes act proclamation issued
Wednesday night by the lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland, Earl Cadogan, said
an Infamous conspiracy was on foot
in England to foment troubl in Ire
land, where none existed. The stories
of outrage and violence in Ireland
were infamous calumnies. The ma
tionalists in Ireland wee only gov
erned by contemptih e minority.
"A hundred men. contii led Mr.. Red
mond, stood ready to .Jplace every
man sent to prison in this struggle.
They entreated Mr.. Wynham, the
chief secretary for Ireland, to change
his policy; but if he continued it they
would meet him face to face and give
blow for blow. Their answer to his
coercion of Ireland would be to hard
en- their hearts, strengthen their or
ganization and compel redress.
Mr. Wyndham replied that while it
was true that there was compara-
tive absence in Ireland of crime
against the person, the lives of peo-
pie were made miserable by intimida-
ton and boycotting. The govern
ment was not acting from political
motives, but as the result of mass
of information laboriously collected
and carefully examined.

Gratis of the house at caucus held
last night, by very large majority,
estimated at 3 to /, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by Mr..
swanson, of Virginia:
Resolved: That we favor the re-
moval of the differential on refined
sugar, both from Cuba and elsewhere,
and believe that such amendments
are properly in order, and we insist
that it is the duty of all democrats
to vote whenever opportunity is
given to have these amendments
added to the pending bill providing
for Cuban reciprocity. We are op-
posed to the adoption of the previous
question when the bill is reported to
the house unless it shall have been
properly amended in committee of
the whole, as this will prevent an
opportunity for just and proper
amendment with recorded votes on
the same.
Resolved, further That the action
of this caucus is binding.
The caucus was rather turbulent
during the early part of the evening"
but toward the close the differences
disappeared and it broke up amid evil
dences of harmony and good feeling
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, who
got the floor Immediately after the
meeting was called to order, threw
bombshell into the caucus by an
nouncing that overtures had come to
him from the republican side by
which it was to be agreed that the

A PROTEST..

Washington, April 19.-The secre-

to the senate a communication from

government against the exclusion of

ruary Is, 1902, | received petition
from certain Chinese merchants in
the Philippines saying that the
United States officials are obstructing
the entrance of Chinese; that they
have established exclusion officers at
the ports and that when Chinese ar
rive in the waters, no matter Wheth-
cr they are labOrers or merchants, all
are driven together and treated as
criminals, and if there is any mistake
made in their verbal statements they
are not allowed to land, but are com
PEELED to return to China.
Your honorable country has usual
ly the reputation of being lenient and
at present your relations with China
are especially friendly There are
places to which the restrictions
agreed upon in past treaties apply,
but while we are hoping that these
restrictions may be entirely abro-
gated, there has never been any
treaty applying the restrictions to
those islands.
"If no distinction is to be made
between Iaborers and merchants and
the severe regulations are to be APP
piled to that place, also, and all
are to be subjected to those harsh
restrictions, | fear the good reputa.
tion of your honorable country will
hardly be able to escape injury.
''As in duty bound, | send this dis
patch to your eXcellency, requesting
you to transmit it to your govern.

plan to withdraw the Philippines
from the operations of this harsh
regulation, so as to pacify the Chi
