state Department. Does Not Like
Minister HerrRn's Criticism Of
Minister Beaupre's Activity on Be
baIf of the Treaty-CaII Paid by
the Costa Rican Misunderstanding
TO He Done with Costa Rica or
Nicaragua Before Sept. %.
washington, Sept. 3.-Additional in
structions have been cabled Mr.. Beau
nre the American minister at Bogota
reiterating the position of this govern
ment regarding the canal treaty.
The State Department assumes entire
responsibility for every representation
of Mr.. Beaupre to the Bogota govern
ment concerning the treaty, and his
activity in this direction is heartily
Endorsed by the President and Secre-
tary Hay.
Minister Beaupre's latest instructions
advise him that President Roosevelt
will not enter into any engagement
with the Colombian government, which
will hamper his scope of action under
the canal law. This government Will
not indicate what it's course of action
will be in the event the treaty is re-
jected.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge,
will be asked as to the truth of his re-
ported criticism of Minister Beaupre's
activity at Bogota. The alleged criti-
cism by Mr.. Herran was not well re-
ceived at the State Department.
Mr.. Calvo, the Costa Rican minis
ter, spent some time at the State De-
partment to-day in conversation with
Secretary Hay about the canal situa-
ton.
The visit was entirely informal. I'm
til Sept. %, when the time for the rat1-
fication of the Hay-Herran treaty ex-
pires, the NicaragUan and Costa Rican
governments appreciate that it would
be improper for the United States to
open negotiations looking to the con-
struction of the canal by another route
unless in the meantime the Colombian
Congress should formally reject the
treaty, which it has not vet done.

By R. NJ. L4arner.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Members of
Congress who are interested in public
buildings and new building sites pro-
vided for during the last Congress. are
making anxious inquiries at the Treas
ury Department to ascertain why the
work is so backward and in many in
stances not yet started. These COM
plants of tardinees are by no means
sectional, as they come from the North
and South, the East and the West.
Inquiry at the Treasury Department
shows that in many instances delays
have been brought about by the COM
plications surrounding the acquisition
of clear titles to property. Other de-
lays have been occasioned by the back
wardness of the contractors and for
other reasons too numerous to mention.
The departmental force of the govern
ment is generally short handed during
the summer months, for at that season
many employees that can be spared take
their annual vacation.
Some of the complaints which have
recently reached the Treasury Depart
ment are based on the fact that work
has not yet commenced on new projects
which were only authorized at the
short session of the last Congress.
Treasury officials explain that no
work can be commenced upon a site
until an appropriation for the prepara-
ton of plans and awarding of contracts
is made. The actual work now in hand
is being done on projects authorized at
the first session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress. Projects originating in the
last session for the purchase of sites
for new buildings or extensions are
confined to securing title, so that the
way may be clear for an appropriation
to be made at the coming Congress to
begin work.
1t was suggested that in view of the
general opposition of the leaders of
the Senate and House to what they
regard as extravaganza in public build
ings that the administration might be
in collision with Congress to prevent
too great an output of money at this
time on public buildings. There ap-
pears to be but little foundation for
this suggestion, although it sometimes
seems that favoriteism plays an i'm

ATTEL GETS DECISION
OVER JOHNNY REGAIN.

St. Louis, Mo, Sept. 3.-Abe Attel of
San Francisco tonight received the
decision over Johnny Regain of New
York, in a twenty-round contest for
the worlds featherweight champion
ship, weight 122 pounds at the ring
side.
The contest was one of the cleverest
and fastest ever seen here. Regain
showed remarkable cleverness in block
ing and in fighting. and so perfect was
his guard that it seemed almost impos-
sible for Attel to get through.
Attel seemed beaten for the first fif-
teen rounds. In the sixteenth round
Abe sent in a left and a right which
shook Johnny up considerably, and the
tide changed to the Californian's favor
From then on Abe had but slightly the
better of it.

Lake Bennett. Considerable space IS
devoted to the part played by the KIon-
dyke gold discoveries in arousing Great
Britain's interest in the controversy.
The American commissioners contra
dict fatty a contention made by the
British commissioners to the effect
that "Canada's claim to the territories
at the head of Lynn canal was at the
time well known to the United States
government" This" they say, lis a
gratuitous assertion. There is no
proof to sustain it. Canada never put
forward any such claim to the United
States. The claim was first made in
1898 by Great Britain before the joint
high commission. 1t is said that If
the Canadian government had instruct
ed British vessels to disregard these
regulations there would have been
grave danger of a serious collision
There undoubtedly would have been a
collision, just as certainly as If they
had been instructed to disregard the
regulations of the port of New York.

achieved their greatest success. Origi-

under consideration, but 1t is justified
by innumerable successes where all the

failed to cure, and, in many cases, to

The first step in the treatment Of the
chronic forms Is to remove the scales and
crusts and soften the skin, by warm

Although the craze for white shows no
abatement. midsummer exploits the beauty
of flower patterns in the sheerer fabrics
The faded blossoms of earlier summer
bloom again on the delicate batistes and
muslins. The heavy laces which have been
so popular seem coarsened by contrast with
such daintiness, so that Valenciennes and
the other fine thread laces will be much
used for trimmings.
Powered muslins in particular have been
caught up on the wave Of popularity
When made up with shirrings, ruchings and
ruffies they certainly make ideal summer
gowns. They may be unlined for the sake
of GOODNESS, or the pattern may be strik-

wash material. This latter fashion admits
of change of slip for the same gown, thus
doubling or trebling its adaptability for
every occasion.
