OF Waterbury to help elect them. They
say their candidates are good Fellows.
OF course they are. The party leaders
are not foolish enough to put forward
any other kind. The trusts are playing
a desperate game, and IL they fail to
win it will not be for want of brains
and the sineWs of war.
Sheriff Durham was in town yes
terday and made his election visit to
the saloons. He was accompanied by
County Commissioner Brewer, and a
jolly time lney seemed to have. 1t
took them almost whole day to make
the trip. Both shared the expense it
entailed, and it is unnecessary to say
that it cost them something. Political
visits are not on the bargain counter
at this stage Of the campaign. The
county commissioner is interested in
the sherfff's success at the election
through personal motives. 1t is de-
creed that If the sheriff is not re-elect-
ed, and II all reports are true he will
not be, the county commissioner will
have to retire and the sheriff will be
appointed to his pace. A popularity
confronted them at many places on the
route; they met the same faces in
many Of the saloons and, of course,
each face had to be treated" It made
the commissioner and the sheriff laugh
very heartily to see how their
friends" We're ahead OF them in so
many places. IF they mad wings they
could not have got around more quick
". The object of the "trip was to feel
the political pulse Of the saloon keepers
with whom the commissioner presumed
ne has influence. and to boom things
for the sherftf. While on their return
they are said to have expressed them
selves favorably with the results, they
are, on the other hand, said to have
told their friends that the feeling was
decidedly against them.

Father Slocum delivered an interest
ing and instructive address yesterday
afternoon before the Waterbury Wo-
mems club in the par1ors Of the Second
Congregational church. One might
think the subject, Book Making .
would be rather dry, but it proved to
be nothing Of the kind, the speaker
holding the closest attention of his au-
d1ence from the opening to the close Of
discourse witch showed remarkabl
research and great scholarly attain
ments Father Slocum reviewed the
field of book making from the earliest
period to the present time He ex-
planned the efforts of the monks to pre-
serve the literature Of their day and
time and said that the world owes
them much for what they did in this
direction. He also talked upon the
ancient seats of learning in Ireland, a
large share Of which was destroyed
during the invasion of that country by
the English, but said that samples of
It are still extant in many Of the uni
Versities Of the old world. The adj
dress pleased everybody in attendance.
SO much so that people who were pres
ent and had heard Father Slocum be-
fore say he was at his best, and this
means great deal. Prior to the adj
dress the society elected delegates to

CANAL TREATY HITCH
Colombian Minister Delaying the Ne
gotiatIons.

Washington, Sct. 29.--It is learn.
ed that a prompt answer has beer
made by the state department. to the
latest Colombian note respecting the
Panama canal treaty, which was trans
mitted to the department Monday. Its
nature is not divulged, but the pre-.
sumption is that it deals almost entire.

garding the sovereignty Of the isthmus,
which the Colombians feel has been Sc
riously invaded by the acts of Com
mander. Mclean and Admiral Casey

troops across the railroad
This matter, as before stated, is now
the subject Of negotiations between
the Colombian government and Minis
ter Hart at Bogota, and an early adj
5ustment is looked for. The state de
partment is anxious that speedy set

this matter, which has been retarded
only by the controversy which has
arisen regarding the transit of the isth-
mus
Considerable irritation is felt in OH.
cial circles over knowledge that Senior
Concl1a, the Colombian minister, is be-
heved to be purposely delaying the ne
gotiation of treaty between the Unit
ed States and Colombia comforting on
this government the right to build the
Panama canal. Information in the pos
session Of the state department is to
the effect that Senior Concha received
instructions from his government sew
eral weeks ago defining it's position
with reference to the points of differ
ence over the acquisition by the United
States of the canal strip, but that he
has declined to act upon these instruc-
tions by renewing the negotiations with
the authorities here.
Senior Concha's attitude is attributed
to q personal feeling of anger toward
the United States on account of the
policy Of Rear Admiral Silas Casey,
commander in chief of the American
forces on the isthmus of Panama, in
refusing to let Colombian troops cross
the isthmus on the railway between
Panama and Colon when there was
danger that the trains would be at
tackled by insurgents and traffic inter-
rupted. Senior Concha, it is said, took
the action of Admiral Casey very
much to heart, holding that it was an
insult to his government and inter-
fered with the suppression Of the In
gurrection on the isthmus.

period of "a hours granted to the Chill

Mexicans should join them in a com

The CANAL PROTOCOL
NICARAGUA CONCEDED EVERY
THING WE ASKED.
A Slx-MILE STRIP LEASED.
COMPLETE AMERICAN JURISDIC-
TION CEDED.

Nicaragua Gets Well Paid, But
Nothing Like what She First
Asked-The Price Considered Rea-
sOnabie-The Right to Establish
Courts and TO Police the Slip In
vOIved-United States Guarantees
Affect the Integrity of Nicaragua.
Washington, Jan. 3.-Some of the
main features of the protocol between
the United States and Nicaragua re-
ferred to in President Zelaya's mes
sage to his Congress have been made
known in recent press dispatches from
Mangua. But there are many other
important features which have not yet
been disclosed, one of these being the
complete American jurisdiction, and the
establishment of American courts, civil
and criminal, throughout a zone six
miles wide and extending from ocean
to ocean, and including the proposed
termini, Greytown, on the Atlantic, and
Brito, on the Pacific. The entire po-
licing of this large tract also is placed
in the hands of the United States, so
that it has the power to preseve order
and after that to issue judicial process
extending throughout this zone.
Beside the authority of American
courts and of the American police on
the six-mile zone, the chief features
of the protocol are in giving a lease in
perpeutity of this tract to the United
States, and at the same time the Civ
ing of an American guarantee that
the independence, sovereignty and in
tegrity of Nicaragua shall not be dis
turbed by the rights thus conferred
upon the United States.
No exact information is obtainable
as to the price specified in the proto-
col as payment to Nicaragua for the
grant to this country. 1t can be stated
positively, however, that this price is
much less than was expected when the
negotiations began, and that it is con-
sidered by officials as reasonable. 1t
is understood that at the outside the
view in Nicaragua was that $20,0O0000
would be a proper figure for the grant
to this country and about $5,000,000 for
Costa Rica's grant. But while there
is no information as to the final sum
in the protocol, it is known to be far
short Of the above figures. AS the ces-
sion takes the form of a perpetual lease
it is probable that the protocol includes
the feature of an annual rent as part
payment.
A protocol with Costa Rica, identical
in form with that with Nicaragua, ex-
cept in the matter of price and terri
tory leased, has been in course of nego-
tiation, and it is. understood that sat
isfactory conclusion will be reached
with that government.

A BARON A SUICIDE
WAS A GRANDSON OF THOMAS IL.
BENTON.
HAD A PENNY IN HIS POCKET.
SHOT HIMSELF IN RAILROAD CAR
RIAGE.

Was Son of Baron BoilIeau, who
Was First Secretary of French Le-
cation at Washington In the Time
of Napoleon iii. and Afterwards
Minister TO Peru-His scheme for
an IceInndic Fishing Company
Was Coming on Poorly and the
Baron Was Despondent--Had
Brother in New Orleans and
Wealthy Friends in London.
London. Jan. "a verdict of suicide
during temporary insanity was re-
turned by a coroner's jury this morn
ing, in the case of Baron Charles
Cauldree Boilleau, who was found shot
in a railroad carriage at hott.1reugh
Junction Sunday. Richard Horne,
lawyer, testified that the deceased was
a French baron and the son of for
mer French consul general in Canada.
The deceased mans father, the wit
ness added. married daughter of
Senator Benton, of the United States.
The Baron had been depressed on ac-
count Of business matters. He lived
in Iceland where he had a large estate.
Married BentOn's Daughter.
Washington, Jan. 3.-Baron Boil
leau's father was formerly first sec
retary of the French legation at
Washington. He was appointed by
Emperor Nanoleon III, and held the
additional office of Canadian consul
general. While In Washington he mar
ried Senator Thomas II. Benton's
daughter thus becoming brother-in-
law of Gen. Fremont.
The elder Boilleau later was French
minister to Peru and married again.
His widow is now living at Pisa. The
suicide was the elder Baron Boileau's
youngest son, by his first marriage.
The deceased had two brothers in
America. The eldest, Baron Benton
Boilleau, resided at New Orleans The
suicide was wealthy, but, lately he
had spent large sums in endeavoring
TO get the Iceland Parliament to per-
nit English vessels to fish within the
three-mile limit. With this end in
view he was getting up a wealthy Eng
iish syndicate. He recently sent to
America for e1.000. but only received
e200, and appeared respondent at the
delay of the Ieelanders in coming to
an agreement. Baron BoiIleau had
many wealthy friends in London who
would have willingly advanced him any
sum of money needed. Among these
is the executor of his mothers WILL
who lives in one of the largest man
sions in Park Lane. Baron Boilleau
however kept his troubles to himself
and when found dead i'm the railroad
carriage he had only one penny in his
pocket. His estates in Iceland and
interests in America, which are intact
