TO MEET MONDAY.
That Day Is Set Apart for the Meet
ing of the House and Senate Con-
ferees on the Canal Bill.

Washington, June Ex-senator Nor
resenting the senate and house con-
ferees on the isthmian canal bill were
together today to arrange the prelini-
naries for the meeting of the conferees.
The first formal meeting of the 18TH
mian canal conferees will be at 2 o'clock
on Monday. Today's meeting was de-
voted to a careful study Of the senate
Panama amendment with a view to
getting a thorough understanding Of
all it's bearings. 1t was stated after
ward that no conclusions beyond the
fact that a meeting Of the conferees
should be held Monday had been
reached.
Meantime the friends of the respec-
tive projects were active in making
plans. Although no formal meeting Of
the house conferees was held informal
exchanges showed their general atti-
tude. They are first of all for canal
and while favorable to the Nicaragua
route, they will not insist upon that
route to the extent of defeating ali
legislation.
Soon as it becomes evident that the
senate will not yield, the Spooner
amendment will be accepted as the
| best solution possible. There is no
doubt this is the position of two out of
the three house conferees and it is un-
derstood to be shared by all the mem
bers.
This insures an agreement in confer
ence without much delay, even if the
| house does not relieve the conferees of
their responsibilities by adopting mo-
| ton to concur with the senate which,
there is good reason to believe Mr.
| Burton, of Ohio, is ready to make.

German Community I'm Johannes

Declaration Published.

johannesburg, Transvaa,, June 21-
Considerable significance Is attached to
the action of the German community
here hitherto pro-Boer in electing a
committee, composed OF the most
prominent Germans to assist in pre-
paration for the celebration OF the
coronation Of King Edward. The Ger
mans have published a declaration to
the effect that they are determined to
dispel whatever unfavorable impress
sion was created among their British
fellow citizens by the ''exaggeration
OF the misguided and misinformed press
OF Germany" and also acknowledging
British sovereignty which whether
they like it or otherwise. means per-
sonal freedom for everybody.

METHODS OF TRADE IN ABYssINlA

Commerce Carried ON in . Very Prim-
itive Manner
The market for the gold-producing
region of Abyssinia is at MEDIC. Gold
washers bring the metal in dust and
nuggets from all orne of the coun-
try, pressed into large quilts closed
with q, morsel of wood. The holders
are so transparent that the precious
powder is as easily visible as though it
were a tube Of glass. The washer sells
the produce to a broker, who works it
into circles Of pure gold of about the
thickness OF a heavy finger ring. These
circles are not closed, so that the buyer
may twist them before weighing, thus
assuring himself, upon finding them
malleable, that no copper has been
mixed with the pure metal. The brok-
ers sit bent over, in long files. with
their small scales in their hands.
A kind of cotton goods manufactured
in the United States, which is called
''aboudjedide" and bears the mark Of
a camel, serves in country districts Of
,Abyssinia as money, being used for
clothing, tents and many other pur-
poses. A. piece Of this material thirty
yards long, the average price Of which.

lots Of twenty pieces, is a token by

in the regions Of production. The
change in the price Of American cot
tons has obliged the wholesale mer-
chants TO increase in Abyssinia, as
elsewhere, the price Of a bale Of this
material serving as money. Immedi-
ately the price Of coffee rose at the five
centers of production, but when the
native farmers reached Harrat., the
commercial center Of the country, x
