Of Prospective Treaty.

Of Prospective Treaty.
Washington, Sept. 25.- The navy
department is in receipt OF the follow
ing cablegram from Commander Nc
Lean, Of the cruiser Cincinnati:
"Colon, Sept. 22.-The United States
guards and guarantees traffic and the
line OF transit. Today | permitted the
exchange of Colombian troops from
Panama to Colon, about 1000 each
way, the troops without arms, in train
guarded by American naval force in
the same manner as other passengers.
Arms and ammunition in separate train
guarded also by naval force in the
same manner as other freight.
MCLEAN
A belief, which has grown so strong
that it can no longer be disregarded,
is held in Central and South American
diplomatic centers here, and it should
be stated that the impression prevails
in epite of emphatic expressions Of
high officials OF the United States
government to the contrary, that the
large naval force which has been sent
to keep the traffic open across the 18TH
mus will prevent, by its very presence,
the continuation OF hostilities along the
railroad on any extensive scale, and
soon bring them to halt altogether;
that the force has been sent there in
anticipation Of an early signature Of the
Panama canal treaty, and that 1t will
be kept there to maintain order and
quiet along the strip from Panama
to Colon. which, by the terms Of the
prospective treaty, the United States is
to control.

mence. OF the entire AZ miles of the

erable of the remainder has been graded

the work of track building will be
commenced in a few days. A second
shipment Of 1000 tons OF rails will
arrive on the Holyrood in about Is
days.
General Manager H. G. Campbell
has received information that the
equipment for the road will leave Chi
cago this week. The equipment con-
sists of two locomotives, two passenger
cars and 55 freight cars, which will be
sufficient for the needs OF the road for
the next few years. Mr.. Campbell is
also informed that three grain ware
houses, each go by $50 feet, have been
constructed along the line of the road,
and that one of these will be enlarged
so feet to meet the needs of the busi-
ness tributary to it, AS there are now
no railroad facilities in the Klickitat
valley, and the farmers aud lumber
men must do all their freighting by
team to Grants or The Dalles, the pro-
gress of construction of the new road
is matter of no small concern to the
residents Of Goldendale and the rest of
the valley. The road will be in opera
tion about the first of the year.

Big Car Shortage In Sight.

New York, Sept. 2S.-An official of
one Of the leading trunk line railroads
is quoted by the Journal of Commerce
as expressing the belief that in the near
future the railroads of the country,
aiticularly those reaching the Atlantic
seaboard, will experience one of the
worst car shortages in their history,
due TO the demand for an early move
ment of crops and the crush Of general
merchandise traffic. Sho1ld the coal
miners strike be settled soon the short
age probably will be greatly aggravated

PINS HIS FAITH ON PUBLIC.
0ompers Says II rhey Knew the Situation
the Strikers Would Win.

INC SSfAkSES WOuid WIZ
Washington, Sept. 25-President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. last night made
an address before the Central Labor
Union. He said he believed that if
the people knew the exact conditions
which have prevailed in the anthracite
region for the past quarter of CEN
tury they would raise such hue and
cry that the men who own the mines
and the operators would not dare op-
pose the strikers in their demands, SO
great would be the indignation of the
public.
Resolutions we're adopted petitioning
congress at its next session to institute
a thorough investigation of the condi-
tions in the anthracite coal region,
with view to remedial legislation.

Printing In Persia.

Printing from type in Persia is not
regarded with popularity. This cOun-
try is at the present day entirely de-
pendent upon llthography for the na-
tive production Of books and Journals
which are very rare. A short time ago
q press with movable types was set
up. and upon which certain number
Of books was printed. The effort. how
ever. met with no encouragement and
had to be abandoned. The unpopular
ity Of type-printing in Persia is due
to two principal causes: First. the
stra!ghtness OF the lines offends a Per.
slams artistic sense. and. secondly. In
printed books the character Of the let
lers is entirely lost. The Persian
reader prefers well-written mann-
script, and. failing this. he contents
himself with lithograph. which Is u.s.
ually the fac-simile Of the writing OF
some fairly good scribe.-Scientific

Lions. tigers. camels. elephants and

After the goats have properly fitted

the goats have been placed on the

and shown such wonderful industry in
clearing land that the owner expects
excellent results In his breeding OF
