THE CANAL STATUS
Shall the y. S. Improve Its Property
Without Reference to the Col
ombian Government?
Or Shall We Proceed to Complete the
Treaties With Costa RIGA
= and Nicaragua? 4

i washington, Oct. 29.-The status TO-DAY
OF the Colombian canal negotiations is
that both sides here are awaiting a. de-
cision OF the Colombian government as
to whether Minister Concha shall proceed
under his original instructions to present
to the state department the Colombian re-
Spouse to the departments proposal for
a treaty.
When the response arrived in Washing
ton two days ago, the minister promptly
notified the state department Of the fact,
but he added to his notice the statement
that In view of recent developments
(meaning events that had happened on the
gotta, Sept. 16) he had regarded it as his
duty to withhold it until he heard further
from his government.
AS the state department had in some
way come to know that the Colombian
response would, if submitted, go far
towards meeting the desires Of this gov
eminent in the matter Of canal treaty,
this delay was very annoying. But as the
minister had his own notion of duty in
the matter, it was decided that an~ap-
peal should be taken over his head to
the authorities in Bogota.
Accordingly a cablegram was sent to
United States Minister Hart at the Col
ombian capital notifying him Of the ac-
ton of the Colombian minister here. No
specific complaint was made but it was
desired to make sure that the Colon
bian government knew that the note had
been held back.
The matter Of objection by our own
officials is the attempt to link the ne
gotiations for canal treaty, pure and
simple, with the discussion of the ques-
tions Of the correctness Of the attitude
Of our naval officers on the isthmus. 1t
Is expected that the delay will not be
long, for even If the Colombian answer is
not satisfactory the United States govern
ment will still be bound by the terms of
the Spooner act to proceed towards the
construction of the isthnian canal, and
the only question to be decided is as to the
method.
Two Ways Open.
There are two ways open even In case
of an adverse attitude on the part of the
Colombian government namely, either the
United States government to proceed
without delay to complete the treaties
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica necessary
for the construction of a canal In those
countries, or, and this latter course would
be adopted with reluctance, the govern
ment might purchase outright the fran
chise Of the French Panama Canal Co.,
and 20 on resolutely with the construction
Of the Panama canal, taking the ground
that it would have right to improve its
own property without reference to any
other government and taking no further
notice of Colombia.

A Depressing Incident Is the Sick
ness of Miss Louise Hoge at

Began, Miss Louise Hoge Of Evanston
Ill.,, Christian Scientist, has been In an
upper room Of the residence Of the bride
elect critically i'll from an attack Of fever
and without the care of a physician.
The sickness of the young woman, who
was to have participated In the wedding
of her school chum, Miss Ethel Herbert
Began, naturally exerted a depressing ef-
feet on the household, and the spirit OF
buoyancy usually present on the eve OF
a. wedding, gave place to a feeling OF
alarm and solicitude
Mrs. Began, because Of the refusal OF
Miss Hoge's relatives to allow physician
was deeply worried over the situation, but
it was determined to- proceed with the
ceremony to-day - "~.'
Miss Hoge came to Washington two
weeks ago In response to an invitation
from Mrs. Began, the mother Of the bride
to-be, to act as one of the bridesmaids
The wedding took place this noon in the
Church Of the Ascension. Miss Began
was married to John Eliot Shaw, son OF
Judge John Melville Shaw Of Minneapo-
lis, MINI.
Miss Hoge participated in the gayeties
of the wedding preparations in DR.. b.
gan's family until one day last week she

to her bed She thought her indisposi-
ton but slight, and was confident she
would be better the next day. She
averred that she would be completely well
before the wedding day.
The girls condition grew worse rap
idly, and in spite Of the advice of DR..
and Mrs. Began and her other friends in
the house, she refused to allow a, physi-
clan to be called, and would not permit
DR.. Began to prescribe for her.
In despair, Mrs. Began telegraphed to
Evanston for Mrs. Hoge, the mother OF
the young woman also a believer in
Christian Science, who has just arrived
here. She, too, has refused to allow a
physician to attend the daughter, and
from all the symptoms, typhoid fever has
set in, and is rapidly running it's course
in the critical stage. Mrs. Began says
that the girls mother is using the Chris
tian Science methods Of treatment for
the girl.
1t was intended by DR.. and Mrs. b.
gan to have an elaborate wedding break
fast at their home Immediately follow
ing the wedding ceremony, but cards sent
out to this effect, on account Of the seri-
Gus Illness of Miss Hpge, were recalled.
Later-A dispatch later to-day says
that Miss Hoge is not considered criti-
cally i'll.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

Though this Republican Congress ad-
iourns in disgrace 1T did a few good
things.
One of them was the passage of the
Newlands law for the irrigation Of the
arid lands of the West. The funds for
the work are to be derived from the sale
of public lands in the sixteen States ana
territories affected.
out of this land will grow a great sys-
TEN of storage reservoirs, in which VIII
be held for use the water that at present
runs to waste in the desert region during
he rainy season.
Vast tracts of country now useless will
be opened to settlement. There are mil
lions of acres of good land which need
only water to render them highly pro-
ductive.
The '.Great American Desert of the
old maps is rally no desert at all. Pri-
vate enterprise has lone much to re-
deem portions of it, but national action
is required to inaugurate a comprehen-
sive scheme of irrigation.

lands could not be put to better use than
to this conversion of an arid wilderness
into f~ruitfulness. Millions of people will

THE IRRIGATION LAW.

One of the best measures that has be-
come a law in the beginning of this twen-
tieth century is the scheme providing for
the irrigation of the thousands of square
miles or arid lands located in our Western
States and territories under government
supervision, embodied in the bill recent
Iy passed and signed by the President
and known as the irrigation bill.
The bill is based on the idea that the
proceeds of sales of public lands shall
be assigned from year to year to the
building of irrigation works under con-
tracts approved by the Secretary of the
Interior, but only when there is sufh-
cient money on hand to insure completion
of the work.
According to Mr.. Newlands, the Repres-
entative from Nevada, who has promoted
the legislation on this subject, this. bill
is very comprehensive in its scope and
automatic $50 to speak, in its plan
of action.
1t is estimated that during the next
thirty years at least $3.50, 900, 900 from the
proceeds of the sale of lands will be
available without further appropriations
fro public irrigation works.
The bill makes the present receipts
from public lands, including those of the
last fiscal year, stand to amount
now to. some $4,000. 900 imediately
sum of 5000, 900 likely to be constantly
increased, can be used each year for
a steady continuation and enlargement
OF any work for which contracts are
made.
The plan further provides against the
requirement of large tracts of Ian by in
dividuals or companies by limiting the
area to be owned by one person to 100
acres, subject to the provisions of the
national homestead law, including its
limitations, charges and conditions.
AT least half of the arid land so acquir-
ed must be improved by irrigation and
the owner must reside on or near the
land.
After a plan of irrigation Of a tract of
land owned by several parties has been
completed at government expense and
III works are in order, the owners will
be required to pay back to the govern
ment in not less than ten annual INSTALL
ments the estimated cost of construction of
he works; the money so paid to be re-
turned to the general reclamation fund.
Eight hours is a fixed days work, and
Chinese labor is forbidden.
The public arid and semi-arid lands
mentioned are the States and territories
of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada.
New Mexico. North Dakota, Oklahoma.
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming.
The effect of the bill should be to en-
courage the settleemnt of the great
iy to increase their agricultural products
The Department of the Interior is not
limited to any particular plan of securing
the requisite supply of water for irriga-
tion purposes. but must conform to the
State laws bearing on this subject in
providing for any given plan. The law
is certain to make valuable, land now
considered valueless, and promote West
ern agriculture in a way to insure last
American.
