Apparently the opponents of an isthmian canal are again at work, for at the last minute Secretary Hay was given to understand that no treaty with Colombia which did not convey absolute and permanent sovereignty over the zone of the canal to the Unit ed States would be accepted by the senate, says a Washington correspond ent. As has been before stated in these letters the conveyance of abso- lute sovereignty over part of it's ter ritory to another nation is contrary to the constitution of Colombia and such insistence is likely to defeat the con struction of any canal for some time to come. The advocates of the Mic araguan route have renewed their hope and are urging the negotiation of treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica and the option of the Panama property is nearing expiration, so that additional congressional legislation will be inevitable. Ii, is stated that the validity of the Panama company's title which Attorney General Knox found to exist was a bitter disappointment to
 some of the most ardent advocates of that route.

The argument advanced by the re- publican stand paters is that the present prosperity cannot last, that tariff revision will precipitate the re- versal of present conditions and that if the republican party is caught in the midst of an attempt to revise the tariff, which will be inevitably attend ed by endless personal pickering and strife, the country will administer a prompt rebuke by voting for their op- ponents. A sample of the kind of ad- vice proffered the president by his friends was recently afforded by Sen ators Lodge and Burrows. The former signifed his willingness to ratify the Cuban treaty because it would not in- jure his constituents, who raise neither tobacco nor beet sugar, but he protest.
 ed vigorously against the New Found land treaty because it might hurt some of the fishermen of his section. On the other hand, Senator Burrows ex- pressed his willingness to vote for the New Foundland treaty, but protested against the Cuban trsaty. The fact that the tariff Is q local issue is again being demonstrated together with the xaeE fhat no republican IS willin2 to

HAVANA STRIKE ENDS.
General Gomez Given Credit For Prompt Settlement.

General Gomez Given Credit For
 Prompt Settlement.
 HAVANA, Nov. 26.-The Central La DOT union decided last night to call off the strike, and committees were ap- pointed to inform the various unions of this decision. There will probably be a complete resumption of work at once.
 Much of the credit for the settlement of the strike is due to General Gomez, who headed the committee which con suited the managers of the Havana Commercial company, against whom the strike was first directed. After the conference General Gomez and the ma jority of the committee expressed them selves as satisfied at the stand that the company had taken. The manag gers maintained that they had not discrimi- mated against Cuban apprentices, the fact being that the company's books showed that over 90 per cent of their apprentices were Cubans. The compa- ny would maintain and even increase this ratio, but it refused to treat with the Central Labor union in matters per- taining to their employees. The man. agers said that they were always. will ing to meet a committee made up of workers from their factories, and they agreed to open the factories again if the men returned to work.
 General Gomez and the committee afterward met the Central Labor un- ion, and the old warrior did not spare words in his condemnation of the ac- tion of the union in calling out the workmen. He said it was revolution and not strike and that the war vet erans stood ready to take up arms in support of the go- ernment in order to maintain order. That ended the strife as far as the Central Labor union was concerned
 As a result of the strike riot four persons are reported dead and 106 wounded

HEARD III PASSING

The broom corn crop of the United States in l902 is est. t.mared by the Amerlcan Agriculturist at 39,800,O00 pounds from an area of 76,5UU acres The yield in the previous years was estimated at 31, ,15u,U00 pounds
 The 1902 peppermint oil. crop of the United States is generally conceded to be very deficient, being generally esti mated at about 13U,000 pounds, against an average annual production of about 100000 pounds.
 It is reported that during October 14,971, ,31S bushels of east-bound wheat passed through the American and Canadian canals at Sault Ste Marie. All other east-bound grain passing through both canals during the same period amounted to 8,425, ,143 bushels. The flour movement was 1,29S, ,751 bar rels.

 A delightful dispatch from Meriden, Conn, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, in forms us that "an estate valued at $15,- 100000, situated at Tahiti, South Sea Islands, awaits heirs" It is the habit of great estates to await heirs From boyhood we have loved the South Sea Islands, and looked forward to the day when we should set up our tent there and live in luxury under our own banana tree and our own bread fruit patch. Fifteen dollars would be wealth in our South Sea Islands. On the in terest of that sum we can afford to employ a native lad to shin up the cocoanut tree or hold the calabash of cocoanut milk to our lips while we re- cline upon the beach, reading Herman Melville and having cigarettes rolled for us by brunettes of the country Since our day values have increased, at least in Tahiti. Meriden doesn't particularize, but doubtless the fifteen millions are invested in sky -scrapers.-- New York Sun.

The lines in the republican party on the tariff and the trusts are becoming more and more plainly drawn. There is a widespread sentiment in the west in favor of revision of the tariff made by the republicans. This was recog nized during the congressional cam paign. by republican orators on. the stump. The plea was made, and sue cessfully made. that the revision should be effected without destroying the principle of protection which underlies the present tariff law, but that the schedules which were admittedly too high should be cut down. The men interested in those schedules proposed to be reduced have already been heard from and each man naturally wants his particular schedule left alone. Many of these schedules are those af- fecting the strongest men in the east ern republican districts. When they feared that the tariff sentiment was endangering republican success, they were in favor of revision. but the re- publican victory has brought them to the conclusion that the people are not as yet at least very much in earnest concerning this matter and that tariff revision is unnecessary, it is undesira- ble. President Roosevelt is strongly inclined toward a tariff commission, but as that was once tried and the com mission, after an expensive existence, made report which congress refused to adopt in toto and threw entire into the waste basket, there is not strong yearning upon the part of congress for any more tariff commissions

BALKS CANAL PLANS
Colombia Rejects the Terms
 Proposed.
ACTION EXCITES GRAVE SUSpICIONS.

Secretary Hay Makes DfscOuraging
 Report Negotiations to Presi-
 dent and Cabinet = Nicaragua
 Route May Yet Be Taken.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-A ques- tiOn of the gravest international im- portance occupied almost the entire at tention of the president and the cabi- net at their regular meeting. It con- cerned the negotiations with Colombia for the conclusion of Panama canal treaty.
 Secretary Hay made a minute ex- planation of the status of the negotia- tions, and his report was not only dis- couraging, but indicated that the atti- tude of the Colombian government was such as to render it uncertain whether it would give it's consent to the con- struction of the canal.
 The negotiations have come to a standstill. In fact, it is not going too far to say that they are virtually on the point of breaking off.
 It is understood that Mir. Hay told the cabinet that the Colombian minis ter in Washington, Senor Concha, who declares that he possesses plenary powers to negotiate a treaty, had re- jeeted the terms proposed by the Unit ed States for a canal right of way. This government is unwilling to offer more liberal terms, and as one officer of the administration expressed it, is marking time"
 This state of affairs will stimulate the negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the alternate route, but it now appears that the diplomatic rep resentatives of those countries are not disposed to allow themselves to be used to coerce Colombia and therefore are desirous of remaining in the back ground until it shall be clearly estab- lished that no treaty can be made be- tween Colombia and the United States.
 One of the statements of fact in con- nection with the Panama route which has been brought to the attention of the state department is that the orig inal canal concessions will expire in 1904, and it has been suggested that the Colombian government has that fact in mind and is disposed to refrain from making a treaty now in the ex- pectation that the franchise will lapse and it thus may be in a position to build the canal itself or to sell a new 1 concession. Such course would raise ! a very serious question between the Colombian government, the Panama Canal company, the French govern ment and the government of the Unit ed States as to whether or not a SUD- plementary decree extending the con cession ten years from 1904 was valid

TINY sPECK OF RUST
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE
AT A NEW YORK BANK.
Prevents Opening of Vault Which
Securely Holds Money and Other
valuables With an Aggre-
gate Worth of $1,000 ,e00.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-What appears
to be tiny speck OF rust on small
iron bolt has caused a great deal OF
trouble to the wealthy people Of Port
Chester. The rust Is supposed to be
responsible for the refusal Of the
vault in the First National bank of
that town to respond to the combi-
nation last Monday morning. Since
then half dozen experts have been
at work on the door, but 1t is believed
they will not succeed until next Mon
day in loosening the bolts.
AT the regular hour Cashier Wilcox,
the only man who knows the combma-
ton of the big vault, went TO the door
and began to turn the knob. He threw
the combination and took hold Of the
large nickel plated level which is used
to dislodge the bolts, "a in number,
jutting into the round holes in the
walls Of the vault. The outer door
swung open as usual, but when the
cashier attempted to pun open the in
ner door, which is supposed to be un-
locked by the opening of the outer
door, he found 1t was held fast.
vainly he tugged at the heavy door.
The bank was then open and the cash
Ter knew that if big check came in
and the explanation was made that the
vault coull not be opened, reports
might start which would dothe institu-
ton serious damage. He worked at
the door until beads of perspiration be-
gan to drop from his forehead. Not
the one-hundredth part of an inch
would the ponderous piece of metal
