II has been discovered, however that
sugar is not only enjoyed by horses az
a delicacy, but 1t Is one Of he So-
foods than can be given, espc-'
where unusual exertion and Ia
demanded. This odd discovery II
made in Argentina in the recent IN
paign of the government troops a. INST
the revolutionists.
So many horses fell i'll in conse-
Quence of the bad roads and heavy
transportation that the veterinarians
didn't know what to do about 1t. To
supply food which, would give greater
endurance, one of them made the ex-
pertinent Of adding a little sugar to the
horse rations. It has been so success
ful that two ounces of sugar daily arc
given tc every horse. The horses last
longer and do more work and some
which had become useless have gained
strength and capacity for work.
Canton horsemen should avail them
selves of this discovery and add cou-
pie of ounces of sugar to their horses
feed every day in order to test for
themselves the efficiency of the sweets
1t will cost hut few cents and may
be the result Of putting the horses
in better condition than condition pow
ders. II is also said to be good for
track horses, giving them greater en-
durance.

Washington, Nov. 26. = The cabinet

gotiations have come to dead stop.

matum has passed the precise situation
may be described in the statement that
the Colombian minister here, COncha,
has distinctly informed the State De-
partnent that he cannot. in behalf Of
his government. accept the last prop
osition of the United States as basis
for canal treaty.
The state department has already let
it be known that it has come to
end of its concessions. so the chances
Of renewal of the negotiations in the
near future are not very bright
This state of affairs will stimulate
the negotiations with Niciraguar and
Costa Rica 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 there
fore are desiYous of remaining in the
background until 1t shall be clearly es-
tablished that no treaty can be made
between Colombia ard the United

BIG COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGE
OF ROCK ISLAND TOST. LOlJIS.

The acquisition of the st. Louis. Kansas
City and Colorado Railroad by the great
Rock Island Route gives st. Louis another
of the great railroad systems of the coun-
try. 1t makes what has always been a
Chicago road also a St. Louis road, while
much of the advantage accruing to the for
mer city through this road will go to St
Louis. The Rock Island promises to open
through connecting lines with the Choc-
taw, more of the Southwest to this gate
way.
Perhaps no other road not now entering
st. Louis could be more generally accepta-
BILE, or commercially promise greater results.
The Moore Bros, since coming into con-
troll of the Rock Island, have been con-
power more TO the building up of a great
Independent system rather than expending
their energies and capital in merger coups.
East Of the Mississippi they are becoming
interested in the Northwestern and the ST.
Paul; their activity is noted in other lines,
connection with which would be beneficial
to st. Louis. Because of this aggressive
feature of their operations the merchants Of
ST. Louis express qualification and receive
the new line with open arms.
While New York is the center of the
great railway deals to merge the steel grid
ironing Of the country, ST. Louis is at the
head and the center of the great cities to
be benefited by the character Of the deals
of the last few months. The greatest ac-
tivity In railroad building is In the South
