UNDER THE PERSONALLY Con
QUOTED SYSTEM OF THE PENN

California and the Pacific Coast

recent years with the better class
of winter rest and pleasure seekers
that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has decided to run two
Golden Gate tours this winter, one
to include the famous Mardi Gras
spectacle al New Orleans. On the
going trip both tours will travel by
the Golden Gate Special, one of
the finest trains that cross the con- /
tiuent. One tour will return by
this train. while passengers by the
other and later tour will use regu- /
lar trains returning. In Califor-
MIA, passengers will be entirely at
their own pleasure in the matter of
itinerary. Should a sufficiently
large number of passengers desire.
to join in taking an itinerary sug-
gested by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, the services of
| Tourist Agent and Champeron will
be at their disposal.
The first tour will leave New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Washington, and other points on
Thursday, January 20, and will

Canal TREATY HELD Up
Secretary Hay Presents Subject at
Cabinet Meeting.
NEGOTIATIONS At DEAD STOP

NEGOTIATIONS AT DEAD STOP
Washington, D. C., Nov. 26.-The
cabinet meeting yesterday was devot-
ed almost exclusively to the consid-
Grafton Of the status Of the reciprocity |
treaty with Cuba and the canal treaty
with Colombia The bitches that have
occurred in the negotiations were dis
cussed, as also were the prospects Of
settlement. Secretary Hay, while pre-
senting the subject of the canal ne
gotiations to the cabinet, was not able
to report that any progress had been
made during the past week. In fact,
it appears that the negotiations have
come to a dead stop. and, while no
such thing as an ultimatum has pass
ed, the precise situation may be de-
scribed in the statement that the Co
lombian minister here, Concha, has
distinctly informed the state depart
ment that he cannot in behalf Of his
government, accept the last PROPOSE
ton Of the United States as a basis
of a canal treaty. The state depart
ment has already let it be known that
it has come to the tale end OF its con-
cessions, so the chances Of a renewal
of the negotiation in the near future
are not very bright
This state Of affairs will stimulate
the negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA for the alternate route, but
It now appears that the diplomatic
representatives 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 snail be
clearly established that no treaty car
be made between Colombia and the
United States.
