Washington. November 25.--All prospects
for an understanding between the United
Mine Workers and operators outside tho

Mr. Macyeaeh. who was no less surprised
than Mr.. Mitchell himself at the turn nf-

CANAL PROSPECTS VAGUE.
Negotiations Have Stopped and May Not
Be Renewed,


Washington. November 2S.-rhe cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost ex-
clusivoly 20 tho consideration OF the statue
Of tho reciprocity treaty with Cuba aud
the canal treaty with Colombia. Tho
bitches which have occurred in the nego.
tiRtions were discussed. as were also the
prospects Of settlement.
Secretary Hay, while presenting the sub
ject Of the canal negotiations to the cabi-
net, was not able to report that any
progress was made during the past week.
In fact, It appears that the negotiations
have come to a dead stop and while no
such thing as an ultlmatum has passed tho
precise situation may be described IN the
statement that the Colombian minister
here, concha. has distinctly Informed tho
state department that he can not In behalf
Of his government accept the last PROPOSE
ton OF the United States as a bnsls OF a
canal treaty The state department al
ready has let It be known that It has come
10 the end OF It's concessions, so that tho
chances Of renewal OF negotiations In
the near future are not very bright
One statement OF fact IN connection with
the Panama route which has been brought
to the attention Of the state department
Is that tue original canal concession will
expire in 1904, and Il has been suggested
that the Colombian government has the
fact in mind and IS disposed to rKrain
from making treaty now, IN the expecta-
ton that the franchise will lapse. and Il
thus may DE IN q position TO build the canal
Itself or sell new concession. Such a
course would raise q very scrOus Ques-

government ana the government Of tae
