the man at Mccormick last Friday, in

discussed his crime quite readily, and
made no effort to conceal anything In

the strike. After remaining out of
work awhile he fell in with young
fellow who proposed a partnership In
a counterfeiting enterprise. They

machinist made some dies, and togeth-

undertook to shove this queer. The
machinist gave him a dollar and a
half Of good money with which to pay
his railroad fare to point far out OF
the neighborhood; but the young fellow
undertook to make the conductor take
a queer" dollar and got nabbed for his
pains. This led to the arrest Of the
machinist and the capture Of his dies

"HURRYING" THE CANAL
Minister Concha Calls and Takes Up
the Matter of Treaty With J;
Mr.. Hay. Nd

Washington, Nov. 4.--Senor Concha the
Colombian minister. called on Secretary
Hay at the state department to-day by
appointment to take up the subject Of a
treaty between the United States and
Colombia, comforting the necessary rights
OH the United States for the construction
Of canal across the isthmus.
The interview lasted about half an hour,
and the preliminary steps toward negoti-
ating treaty were taken 1t IS in
dictated from what can be learned ut the
legation that Mr. Concha has resumed ne
gotiations Of i.is own initiative, though he
expects special Instructions OIL certain
points involved.
The minister to-day submitted delin-
lite proposition which is in the nature of
an answer to the treaty proposed by the
United States. Secretary Hay will take
no further step until the president re-
turns to Washington and has had OPP
portunity to consider this last PROPOSE
ton.
The details Of the Colombian proposition
are withheld. The one important fact
developed, however. is that it Is not OBJ
noxious to the spirit of the Spooner law
and therefore the officials felt warranted
in the statement if there were any diff
culties in the way they We're not legal
in character.
This is taken to mean that the main
issue remaining to be settled is one OF
price. The Colombian government wants

ARRANGEMENT for the annual payment

large enough to seriously retard the close

fill the vacancy caused by the expiration
Of the term Of Associate Justice w. T.

the only important offices to be filled. The

labor, populist and antitrust democratic
party to nominate Judge Holloway, also
John M. Evans Is the democratic can
didate for congressman and John M.
Dixon is the republican, while the popu-
lists and labor party have nominated Mar
tin Dee and the socialists George B.

cans claim the state. Unless there are
some surprising changes it is generally
expected that the republicans will elect
both the associate justice and congress

TRIUnPHS OF AMERICANS
Work of the Signal Corps in Alaska,
- i in Cuba: and ii the Phil %:
-. . ipplnes.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The annual re-
port of General A. w. Greedy, chief signal
officer of the army says the corps mas
actually built and put in working order IN
Alaska, 1121 miles Of land lines and sub
marine cables within a period of twenty
four months.
The accomplishment of such results, he
saws. would be most creditable to the Off
GERS and men concerned if Alaska We're an
ordinary country, for this work included
not only surveying, construction and in
stallation of this length Of line, but also
involved the manufacture and inspection
Of enormous quantities of material, in
struments, ETC., many hundred tons in
weight and their transportation over dis
tances ranging from 1000 to 1000 miles,
when. one considers the physical diff
culties Of the territory the work must be
regarded as simply wonderful,as in part OF
Alaska traversed by this great length OF
line there are not dozen miles of wagon
road, and much Of the region is unex-
plared."
Speaking of improvement effected by
the corps in Cuba, General Greedy says:
1T Is unquestioned that on occupying
Cuba the American army found few di-
lapidated telegraph lines operated by an
tiquated methods, with tariff rates in
creasing in proportion to the length of the
message, without free delivery and with
secrecy and delivery. This SYSTEM bac
as it was, served only the western half Of
the island. In leaving Cuba there was
turned over to the government system Of
$500 miles, extending from San y Mar.
tinez in the west to Cape Maysi in the
extreme west.
1.-THE present instruments are of the bes
modern types, the transmission speedy
and reliable, and the tariff rates exceed
ingly low, while the delivery Of message.
and the inviolability Of their contents are
unquestioned.
I'm the Philippines there were built, o.
telegraph and submarine cables, an az.
gregate of 6,433 miles It Is needless tt
say that, under the disturbed condition.
the work was extremely difficult. TIL,
system stands to-day q monument to the
energy, skill and resourcefulness Of thu
American soldier.
On entering the Philippine islands tn,
American army found practically no ex
listing telegraph lines, as the few Lane
| lines connecting the .Viscayan cables O
| the eastern extension telegraph compan.
had been promptly destroyed by the in
| surgents as we'll as the lines in Luzon
| when they retreated before the advance O
our armies. The only lines Of any i'm
portance that came into our possession
were several hundred miles of dilapidate
| and Anticipated lines in the Cayugan val
ley and along the west coast Of Luzon.''
| Genera! Greedy calls attention to tn
| necessity Of Pacific cable. Owing to tn
| great pressure of work he says not a
much time has been given to wireless
telegraph tests as General Greedy wished
but he reports that progress has bee
made. ...... ,y
! He again calls attention to the necessit
| for international cable regulations an

represented at the International telegrap
conference in London next year.
