CANAL NEGOTIATIONS.
The Hay-Concha Treaty is Progress
 ing Satisfactorily.


 Washington. Nov. H-Mr. Crowell, counsel for the Panama Canal Company called at the State Department today and had long conference with Secretary Hay respecting the next steps to be taken. in view of Attorney General Knox's opin- ion on the sufiiciency of the canal title to carry out the transfer of the property to. the United States Government.
 The Spooner act requires a treaty with Colombia to be made before the Canal Company's property is actually purchased by the United States Government. but this treaty Is now we'll advanced toward completion 20 that 1t is deemed proper to consider other measures relating tc the French title. It Is also understood that after full conference with such Senatorial leaders as have been in Wash. ington recently, Secretary Hay has pretty we'll satisfied himself that if such a thing were desirable. Congress would readily amend the spooner act so as to wipe out the condition that a treaty must pre- cede the purchase. In such case the ca nal property had been bought. the United States Government would go ahead with the work of construction, leaving the treaty negotiations to follow. But as al. ready indicated. the negotiations between Secretary Hay and Senor Concha have pro gressed so satisfactorily as to warrant the belief that no such recourse to fur ther legislation will be necessary. The present state of the treaty negotiations is that there Is now in the hands of Sec ietary Hay who is waiting to submit it to the President, a proposal from Co., lombia suggesting modification of the treaty which the United States originally proposed, and there is said to be fair ground for compromise between the two propositions.

BURTON FOR THE CANAL
OHIO CONGRESSMAN SPEAKS IN
 NEW ORLEANS.
Importance of an Isthmian Water way Cannot Be overstated, He Declares-Shorter Route
 to the Orient.

New Orleans. Nov. A-Congressman Theodore E. Burton, probable candidate for Speaker of the House. delivered an address before the Progressive Union to- night in the course of which he said:
 ''The importance of the Isthmian Canal for the development of our trade with tropical countries and in directions where other countries now have an advantage cannot be overstated. A distinctive fea- ture of our import trade has been the great increase in our purchases of the products of tropical and sub-tropical countries. These imports now comprise more than one-third of the total of our while import trade. They are made up of supplies of coffee. sugar, fruits, nuts, other articles of food. also in raw mate rials for manufacture of raw silk, vege- table fibre and India rubber with divers other articles It is to be noticed that along with this great increase in imports from these countries there has not been a corresponding increase of exports.
 "One great field for the development of exports from New Orleans and the ports of the Gulf is in this direction. While exports to European countries show a very large balance in our favor. imports from tropical countries show a very great balance against us. Nothing would so promote the increase of our trade with these tropical countries as the C r struction of an isthmian canal. It ould also make available the easterly countries of Asia, China and Japan and the great area included in the islands of the Pacific.
 Our trade with China at present seems triyial-only a little over S2o. 900 of ex- ports-but they are beginning to use our food products and whenever this great empire with its enormous population breaks over the barriers created by tra- dition and prejudice and establishes trade relations with the rest of the world, it will be like the bursting of the pent-up waters for a flood. For this change which may come at an early date this country should be ready and should pos sess the readier means of communication afforded by an isthmian canal"
 He also referred to the marvellous de- velopment of trade and wealth in the last five years. The future would identify President Mckinley with the beginning of this great industrial era. The situa- ton and probable future of three great ports of the United States San Francisco New York and New Orleans were dis cussed at length.

Impaired Assets the Reason Assigned
 for the Failure.
 Boston, Nov. 1.-The Central National, a small institution compared with many other city banks, did not open its doors today because of an order from the Comptroller of the Currency who had placed National Bank Examiner w. E. Neal over 1t. as temporary receiver.
 Impaired assets is given as the reason for the failure and the bank is closed for good. The incident did not produce any furry in financial circles, as the clos ing of the bank through liquidation by the Elliot National Bank was looked for and such action. 1t was supposed. had commenced. The incident which precipi- tated the failure was the rejection of q considerable portion of the Central Banks assets by President Bprrags of the Eliot bank. Wednesday sales of the CentraPs . stock dropped s15 from par and yesterday depositors withdrew somethink like s. O00,0o0. Later in the day the clearing house declined aid.. and certified checks on the bank were refused acceptance by other banks. Many banks came to the relief of the CentraIs depositors.

 German tobacco manufacturers and re- tail dealers are clamoring for protective measures and a counter movement to throw of the grip which the American firm has obtained. To complicate mat ters two other American firms have just entered the field by opening headquarters in Berlin.
