CABINET DISCUSS
THE PANAMA CANAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL PROB
ABLY EMPLOY FRENCH LEGAL
TALENT-PAssAGE OF BILL AB-
soRRINe TOPIC At COLON.

washington, July 1.-The cabinet was
engaged today, at the suggestion of Sec
rotary Hay. in the prepare ion of meas
ures to carry out the terms Of the 18th
milan canal project. The government
must determine the suffciency Of the IL
tie that can be conveyed to the United
States by the Panama Canal Company;
a treaty must be negotiated with Column
bia comforting the necessary rights and
a technical commission must be appoint
ed to carry on the actual work of con-
struction.
It was decided to refer the matter of
title to the attorney general 1t being a
purely legal question and recourse may
be had by the latter to the French courts
to secure from some high tribunal sat
isfactory affirmation of the sufhciency of
the title. The attorney general may at
tempt however, to secure from the
French government directly through the
chamber of deputies. In all probability,
some legislative declaration that shall
have the force of law and effectually af-
firm the legality of the acquisition or the
canal property to the United States 1t
will be necessary for the attorney general
to send to France some thoroughly compe-
local French legal talent to aid In this
wor The name of Assistant Attorney
General Russell has been suggested as
well qualified for such post and some OF
the isthmian commission members are
named as associates.
Colon Colombia, July 1.-The news OF
| the passage by the United States Con-
gross last week of the Spooner Panama
canal bill, and the signing Of the meas
ure by the President, Is still the all
absorbing topic on the isthmus, and Is
! generally considered to mean final tri-
umph for the Panama canal. In this
connection local newspaper says.
I'm view of the activity of the staunch
supporters of the Nicaragua canal pro-
| ject, who have hitherto left nothing I'M
| done to effect the defeat of the Panama
measure, 1t becomes our duty to urg the
national government not to procrastinate
but to proceed with little delay as pos
sible to pass the necessary legislation
so that the President of the United
States may put the law in execution by
beginning the construction Of a Panama
canal without delay"
1t has been learned from most re-
| liable source that the revolutionary sit
| uation in the interior of Colombia con-
| tinues to be satisfactory.

Is NO TRUTH IN
CHRISTMAS STORY
COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS WHICH
HAS INVESTIGATES CHARGES
OF DANISH CAPTAIN SAY THERE
is NO TRUTH IN THEM.

Washington, July 1.-Chairman Dalzell
of the committee which investigated the
charges in connection with the purchase
of the Danish West Indies today sub
mitted the report of that committee, af-
ter detailing the charges of bribery and
showing that Captain Christmas had re-
puted the alleged report on which the
charges were based The committee sums
up the result Of their Investigation as
follows.
THAT there Is not the slightest SEM
blance of evidence that any member of
Congress, either directly or Indirectly
was offered or paid any bribe or was
paid any valuable consideration CT any
kind or character, to vote or assist in
procuring the proposed adoption or rati-
fication of a treaty of sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States. There
is not the remotest ground from which
to draw TN inference or in which to base
conclusion that there was any corrup-
tion or wrong-doing on the part of the
public officials of the United States in
connection with the negotiations for the
purchase and sale Of the Danish West
Indies 1t is plain beyond peradventure
that the bribery alleged in the report
could have existed nowhere save In the
Imagination of Christmas, as the burden
of his whole song is that he had no
money 1t is In evidence that he had to
borrow in order to pay his passage home
from this country"

AS TO MINT JuLEPs.
Has the Favorite Triple of the Old
School Gentlemen Followed Them?

From the New York Sun.
II the Richmond Dispatch Is not mis-
taken there is not so much demand for
be. There are not so many old fashioned
gardens with their patches of mint. Per-
haps the great artists. the consum-
mate compounders of mint julep, have
passed away with so many of the good
old judges and colonies and majors, the
fine gentlemen with frilled shirt bosoms
and ceremonious manners who used to
beam upon Washington occasionally and
were the ornament and honor of many
Southern communities; and those COM
munities, prosper as they may in COM
merce or agriculture, will produce no
finer articles than those same gentlemen.
1t is sort OF blasphemy to classify the
mint julep with the now apparently NOR
.ibund collection of mixed drinks. 1t
stood alone, which was more than some
of its too ardent devotees could always
do. 1t was a bouquet and poem. More
than that, 1t was, and is, in its way, the
flower and expression OF phase OF life
that has passed.
1t is said that he barkeepers of the
young school have little opportunity to
mix anything except seltzer and milk.
The progress of total abstinence and the
passion for whisky and water or high
balls" must tend to keep the young bar
tenders education in a state Of arrested
development. But even maturer and
more skillful chemists might dabble In
vain at fusing the elements of this class
ic composition. The mint looks dusty,
withered, homesck in the North. We
have seen, even in clubs where should

wet DIS seemed to be partially immersed
in a sea of kerosene oil. Only on South
ern soil will this flower blossom.
Let us say, for the relief Of our Pro-
hlbitionist friends, that we regard mint
julep in a purely romantic and bookish
light. To us 1t belongs In the category

impossible guzzling of Mr.. PiclSwick' $

RHEUMATISM CURED UNDER GUARANTEE.

Medical science is making wonderful
progress, and we propose to give our
practice the benefit of these discov-
cries. We have installed the famous
treatment for all forms of Rheumatism,
Synovitis, Euritis, Joint Troubles,
Bright's Disease and the complica-
tions. This treatment is endorsed by
the leading practitioners of the coun-
try; has been thoroughly tested and
proven, and we have no hesitancy in
proposing to cure rheumatic troubles
under POSITIVE GUARANTEE. We
have hundreds of cases on record of
complete cures and cordially invite all
sufferers to call and allow us to ex-
plain this treatment.
