ARRANGE FOR CANAL MEASURE
Cabinet Is Engaged in Effort to
Garry out the Terms of
the Proposition.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE cabinet was
engaged today at the suggestion of secre-
tary Hay in the preparation Of measures
to carry out the terms OF the isthmian ca
nal law. The government must determine
the suficiency Of the title that can be con-
veyed to the United States by the Panama
Canal company, q treaty must be negotiated
with Colombia comforting the necessary
rights and a technical committee must be
appointed to carry on the actual work Of
construction.
1t was decided to refer the matter Of title
to the attorney general. II being purely a
legal question, and recourse may be had by
the latter to the Frenoh courts to secure
from some high tribunal a satisfactory
affirmation Of the sufhciency Of title. as
the interests involved are too great to base
the title upon the mere opinion Of an in
dividual lawyer, either French or American.
The attorney general may attempt, how
ever, to secure from the French govern
ment. directly through the Chamber OF
Deputies in all probability, some executive
declaration which shall have the force OF
law and effectually afirm the legality Of
the acquisition Of the canal property by the
United States. It will be necessary for the
attorney general to send to France some
thoroughly competent person who can, II
need be, retain local French talent to aid
in his work. The name Of Assistant At
torney General Russell has been suggested
as we'll qualified for such a post and some
or all Of the members Of the isthmian canal
committee may go TO Paris. There is some
reason to believe that while no formal as
surances have passed, the French govern
ment has managed to let 1t be known 10
the president that it is willing to do every
thing that is necessary to quiet this ques-
ton Of title.

with yellow here and there,

with yellow here and there,
Where the frost has done things to 1t;
and he hears, high in the air
The wild geese flying over-hying free
and flying far
All, the happy farmers dreaming,
where earth's greatest glories are.
The sheep are calmly browsing with
their busy noses low
And they leave their wool in lunches
on the briars where they go;
The pigs are in the orchard, roofing
round the apple trees,
And the rooster in the barnyard suns
himself and takes his ease,
While the colts are gaily frisking in
the seven acre lot,
And the paint peels from the bobsled
where the sun Is shining hot.
Oh, the happy, happy farmer, after
working all the day,
Gets old Bossy in n corner and pro-
ceeds to milk away;
Anon he holds the bucket where the
calf is in the shed,
While ii frisks its tail and gaily bumps
the vessel with its head:
1t slops the milk and slobbers what it
doesn't want around
And upsets the happy farmer when it
has him nearly drowned.
oh, the happy farmers dreaming as he
always dreams in spring,
OF the crops that he will harvest and
the prices they will bring;
The wind has bleached his whiskers
and the sun has tanned his hide;
He is rough upon the surface, but his
hearts o. X inside
His ovcralls are baggy and his boots
are splashed with mnd,
Still his liver's working fairly and
there's iron in his blood.
All, the happy, happy farmer! How
his bloyant spirit scars,
AS he hobbies, rather slowly, out to
do the morning chores!
His boys are in the city; they're eman-
cipated now:
They have gone to make their fortunes
and left pa to guide the plow!
Oh, the glad, the lucky farmer, He
goes toiling all his days.
And the boys are always calling for
what money he can raise.

MALADY
Peculiar to the
Season
Is Attacking the Leg
islators,
While New Bills Continue to
Roll In.
Especial Correspondence.) J

Ncpecldl COTItspouueHCt'1
Columbus, March 12.--The members
of the Legislature are evidently becom.
ing tired of their work, OF the malady
peculiar to the season of the year Is
fastening itself upon them, for the at
tendance this week has been unusually
small. In the Senate the small attend
ance Is accounted for by the fact that
the finance committee has had long
and hard junket and was naturally
slow to leave the junket for active
work. Considerable business, how
ever has been disposed of and large
number of bills introduced.
The more important measures which
effect the state generally are the fol-
! lowing:
Resolution by Mr.. Cannon, Of Frank
lin, memorializing Congress to include
in the next naval appropriation bill, an
appropriation sufficient to construct war
| vessels in the United States navy
| yards. i
| Mr.. Johnston, of Gallia, to permit
osteopaths to practice medicine in Ohio
after having passed an examination
| by state board.
| Mr.. Hypes, of Clark, to authorize
boards of education to expend $500
for each sub school district for ap-
paratus and libraries. This expendi-
ture may be made in addition to what
has already been expended.
Mr. McNeal of Marion. to require
motion for new trial in specified
cases to be acted upon by courts with
| in 20 days after the fling of the mo-
ton. Mr.. McNeal also introduced a
bill to amend the law so that more than
two townships as at present may
build a High school
Mr. Brown, of Mercer, to require
that where the services of females are
employed, either professionally or 9th
erwise, they shall he paid at the same
rate as that allowed to males in the
same capacity.
| Mr. Moulton of Scioto county, mend
ing the criminal assault law as to fix
the minimum penalty at three years In
the penitentlary- for assaulting per-
son under II years of age.
/
Mr.. Gear, of Wyandot county, to
amend the laws so that each county
may take care of its own schools and
pay the expenses for this. The power
to levy school taxes is vested In this
amendment in the county commission
| ers.
Mr. Cook, of Hamilton, to re-enact
the law repealed in 1898, which provid-
ed that only life insurance produced
by annual premiums of $3.50 shall be
liaSie for debts.
Mr. Buckley. of Perry the bill rec
commended by the State Board of Par
dons to change the law relating to the
crime of criminal assault by reducing
the age of responsibility in such cases
from 1S to 16 years and reduces the
minimum punishment to one year in
the penitentiary or six months in a
county Jail or workhouse. The new
law will permit the defendant to in
troduce testimony regarding the moral
character and reputation of the prose-
cutting witness.

while this Board thus feels its great

and we would commend them to the

Resolved, That the foregoing tribute
be adopted as the sentiment of this

F. G. FREsE
Has Mourners In Ma ny
Circles.
Resolutions Adopted by the
Board of Education.

The loss to the city of Akron, when
was sustained in the death of the late
Frederick G. Frese, is one that has
been felt by all classes and among
those who felt it most keenly, We're,
perhaps, Mr.. Freses associates ON the
Board of Education. A committee was
appointed at a meeting a month ago,
TO draft resolutions expressing the
sorrow of the Board at the untimely
death of Mr.. Frese, and the resolutions,
as adopted at the meeting last night,
We're as follows:
"A successful life is not measured
by the number of years that an in
divldual has lived, but rather by what
he has achieved, and the influence that
that life has eXerted upon others; upon
the community; upon the state.
In this sense, the life of our fell
low member was successful one. He
was man with character above re-
proach He served this city in the
capacity of member of the Board
of Education with great efficiency.
He gave of his time, energy and tai
ents freely to the schools of this city.
He was man of rare ability; he
had great power of organization, he
was good financier; and upon the
different committees of the Board up
on which he served he was a leader.
Our great regret is that this young
NAM whose career of usefulness seem
ed only to have begun, has thus been
suddenly cut off, and the community
deprived Of one of its best and most
useful citizens. The schools OF the
