Washington Letter.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. e., Dec. 3, 1903.
The canal treaty has been signed at
Panama, and the United States has
come into possession Of what will
soon become the worlds greatest wa
ter way. There is no doubt that it
will be ratified by the United States
Senate, aud It is equally probable
that the historians OF the future will
associate this milestone Of progress
with the first Administration OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
When the ship bearing the docu-
ment reached Colon iG was met by
Senor Esprilla, the Minister of Fore
ign Affairs, who carried the chest
containing the treaty to Panama.
When he arrived there he drove I'm
mediately to the government palace,
where the members Of the junta and
the ministry had assembled, Sur
rounded by these men, Senor Esprilla
opened the chest and drew forth the
treaty. which was wrapped in the
Panama flag, and addressed by Minis
ter Varilla to the members OF the
junta. There was but one copy and
it was written in English. There
was a short discussion of its terms
aud the next day the treaty wa:
signed W ith gold pen, purchased
for the occasion. 1t was given t
Rear Admiral J. G. Walker, Presi
dent Roosevelts representative" ON Che
Isthmus, and it Is now on is way to
Washington. The President viii
send the treaty at once to the Senate
and there is no doubt that the mem
lbers Of that body will win the appro-
val Of the American people b..
initiating the promptness of the
Panamese junta Ia ratifying tht
document.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge
has called on Secretary Hay relativ'
to the mission of General Reyes
The Secretary will receive the Colon
bian General courteously and liste'
patiently to what he has to say. BL
in regard to the canal, the Admins
tration cannot retrace its steps. Pan
ANA has been recognized, by thi
country and by several Europea
nations, as the sovereign Of the cana
territory, aud the United State
guarantees her sovereignty eve
against Colombia. General Reye
might talk OF an indemnity to Colom
bia, but anything else would be ou
Of the question.
The Colombian residents OF Ne
York city have appealed to formt
President Cleveland to intercede
their behalf with the American pei
pie. The idea Of appealing to NJ
Cleveland is novel, emotional,' Latin
American and, OF course, futile.

.BUsY 1zzY' COMING TO TOWN.

That George Sidney in his musical
farce, 'Busy Ivy" captured the good
opinion of the critic of the Boston jour
nal on ther eccnt engagement he played
there may be taken from the following
extracts from the criticisms printed in
the paper the next day. The article
commences thus: Busy Ivy came to
town, yesterday for a weeks stay, and il
he keeps on going the way he started
IN I'D VIII make the man in the box
Office his namesalle, as sure as fate"
Then follows. "George Sidney, the star
of the piece, isn't especially well known
in Boston, and why vast concourse
with money in their pockets and a deep
seated desire for good time under their
Jackets should hize him up of-handed
rs the real thing is a mystery. But they
made no mistake. Write that down in
capitals and then turn on the hose TO
call eyervbody's attention to it. The
show is a conner, and if it had Travelled

settled down somewhere with dollar.

WHIPPED A sICK MAN.

Boston, Dec 11.Jimmy Kelly, the lightweight fighter of New York, was defeated by Jimmy Gardner of Lowell, Mass, ill three rounds, before the Cen tral Athletic club Wednesday night. Florrie Barnett, manager of Kelly, wanted the management to postpone the bout for a later date, saying that Kelly WAS sick and iii no condition to fight. This request was refused, how ever. and to save the forfeit Kelly said he would go on. From the moment he entered the ring 1t was plain that he was i'll, and could do nothing but stall, in an effort to last the bout out. Tn the third round Gardner crossed his right over on Kelly's jaw, and at the count of ten he was unable to rise, and had to be assisted to his corner. Kelly has fought Gardner three draws, and in his entire career never suffered I knockout until Wednesday night.

THE PUGILISTS.
Tommy Ryan the Fox of the
 Prize Ring.

Whenever He Makes u Match Look
 Out for Him-To-night Will See
 Many Battles Fought O'Roirke
 Wants to Back Limerick to Win
 From Munroe.
 Any time Tommy Ryan makes i match for himself | will have q bet down on him. Tom Costello made this statement in the Hotel Rossmore while discussing the proposed fight between Ryan and Philadelphia Jack OBrien. O'Brien is a good man, a very good man, but Ryan is a better. Calmly reviewing the merits of each man, and simmering the records and achievements of their deeds in the speed arena, there is but one conclu- sion to arrive at. and that is that Tom my Ryan will be returned the winner. By this meant that as matchmaker Ryan stands out as bright as he al- ways has as q fighter. He was a peer and he still remains at the top of his class. He knows more about fighting than any man of which his class has .kF0L@ICAs "A A1MLSA FNNl4 IQHQG IS I match half won'' is an old English say ing, and Tommy Ryan seems to have this constantly before his eyes when ever a fight Is arranged He knows just who he can beat and who can beat him. He grabs the former op- ponents and finds some available ex- cuse of avoiding the latter. He is the shrewdest manipulation of them all when it comes to getting his share of the receipts, and the large amount of wealth he has stored away for rainy day more than gives emphasis to this fact. O'Brien, thoroughly clever and nearer to Tommy Ryan ill every par ticular than any other fighter in the business, will find that when he enters the ring he has met his master. He will find a man who can fight at all gaits and who never loses his head in the ring, no matter how fierce wages the conflict. #

CHASE WAS CHASED.
ERsi Moose Gives New Yorker a Ru1i
 For His Life.

PORTAGE, Me, Dec. II. Fl D. Ghase of New York has returned from hunting excursion with story of q narrow escape from a large bull moose
 MT. Chase started out after small game; but, coming upon the fresh tracks of bear, he determined to fol low them. When lie suddenly came upon the bear he tried to shoot, but he found the automatic arrangement hold ing the cartridges in place was out of order.
 While he was trying to fix it a bull moose crashed through the underbrush. NIT. Chase thought he had the gun fixed and raised it fo- shoot There was no report, and the hunter saw his only safety was in flight.
 He ran toward creek and reached it only few seconds before the moose "A thin coating of ice covered the wa ter, and he,ran out on it. It was bare ly strong enough to hold his weight The ice gave way when the moose crashed on it, .and the animal went 10 the botton after a frantic struggle.
