At A STANDSTILL.
Canal Treaty Negotiations With
Colombia Are Blocked.
That Country Is Hanging Back in
Hopes Of Better Terms.
Pres. Roosevelt Finishes MESSAGE and
It Goes to the Printer.

Washington. Nov. o5.-The cabinet
meeting. today. was devoted almost
exclusively to the consideration OF he
status of the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba and the canal treaty with CO.
lombia. The bitches that have Oc-
CURED in the negotiations were dis
cussed as also We're the prospects of
settlement.
Secretary Hay. i'm presenting the
subject of the canal negotiations To The
cabinet, WAS not able to report that
any progress had been made during
the past week. In fact il appears that
the negotiations have come to a dead
stop and while no such thing rs an
ultimatnm has passed the present sit
ua,iOn may be described i'm the state
ment that the Colombian minister
here. Cnncha, has distinctly informed
The state department that he cannot
In behalf of his government accept the
last proposition ;of the United States
as a basis OF 4 canal treaty. The
state department has already let il be
known that itshas come to the end of
its concessions so the chances of a re-
newal of the negotiations in the near
future are not very bright.
This state of affairs will stimulate the
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the alternate route. but it now
appears that the diplomatic representa-
tives of those countries are not disposed
to allow themselves to be used to coerce
Colombia and therefore are DESTROYS of
remaining in the background. until it
shall be clearly established that no treat
ty can be made between Colombia ard
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 original
canal concessions will expire in 1904 and
il has been suggested that the Colon
bian government has that fact in mind
and is disposed to refrain from making a
treaty now, in the expectation that the
franchise will lapse and 1t thus may be
in a position to build the canal itself or
to sell a new concession. Such a course
would raise very serious difficulties.

Hanna Can't See Trusts.

Senator Hanna shocked the country
on October 81, 1899, by saying: 81 do
not know of trust in the United
States" On Friday, August 8, another
similar Hanna shock was felt when he
announced, at Chautauqua: There
are no monopolies in this country, ex.
cept such as are protected by patents -
Tom Johnson says that Senator Han
mas intentions are good and that he
undoubtedly wants to help labor all
he can; in fact. will devote the rest of
his life to labor's cause, but says the
senator will never accomplish much of
permanent good until he recognizes
the monopoly element in trusts and
combinations and destroyes it. But
if Hanna couldn't tell trust or mo-
nopoly if he saw it coming up the
street. his case is hopeless. He will
continue to waste his time and good
intentions while trusts and monopo-
lies prey upon consumers, including
his much-beloved workingman. Too
badi
