TIE PANAMA CANAL TREATY
Will Not in the Least Interfere with
the Cuban Bill.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Secretary Hay
had talk with the President, today,
about the developments on the isthmus
of Panama. Secretary Moody dropped
sionin While the subject was under con-
|sideration and Joined in the conference.
AS q result of the conference it is pos
sible that one of the United States war
ships now at Colon will be used to
bring the Panama canal treaty, ratified,
yesterday, at Panama, to the United
States. This the authorities have ca
bled instructions to United States Con-
sui General Gudger to assist in all prop
er ways in the dispatch of the treaty
on it's return to Washington. This is
the explanation of the consul generals
conduct in confding the treaty to Rear
Admiral Walker for conveyance across
the isthmus from Panama to Colon.
The treaty should reach Washington
in the ordinary course, about Dec. Is,
and as the Cuban reciprocity bill is to
be disposed of in the Senate, Dec. 16, the
President can carry out his original in
tention of withholding the Panama
treaty from interference with the Cuban
bill and at the same time avoid any I'M
necessary delay.

HOPES 1T is TRUE.
Minister Takaf1ira Has No Official
News Of Settlement.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Speaking Of
the statement emanating from Paris
that Japan and Russia We're on the
verge of q settlement of the questions
at issue between them, Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister. said that he be-
lieved this gratifying news TO be true.
although he has rot been officially ad-
vised for several days of the progress
Of the negotiations. His government
had always entertained the hope that
such a solution was possible, and while
the progress of the negotiations has
been slow and while, also, there has
been at times reason to believe that
Japan's sincerity of motive was not
fully appreciated. the result shows that
it is now well understood that through
out the whole controversy, even wien
popular agitation was highest, his gov
eminent has been actuated by 5ut one
rurl ose, the preservation by honorable
means of peace and order in the Far
East.

EMBASSY OF FIRST RANK.
Great Britain May Send Minister, as
Well as Ambassador, to Washington.

Washington, Dec. SIT is under
stood that upon the arrival here OF
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand the new
British ambassador. the British mis-
sion in Washington will be raised to
an embassy of the first rank, and that
in addition to an ambassador, who will
be the personal representative of King
Edward, the British government will
send to Washington d minister pien;-
pctentiary for the transaction of ordi-
nary diplomatic business
At the capitals OF the great Powers
OF Europe there are ministers as well
as ambassadors representing Great
Britain. AT the time of his appoint
ment as ambassador to Washington
The late Sir Michael Herbert was min
lister pienipotentiary at Paris, where
an ambassador of King Edward was
also stationed.
The decision of the British govern
mont, Which has not yet been con-
frlned officially, must be regarde.! as
high compliment to the United States.
No other nation maintains an embassy
Of the first rank in Washington. and it
was only 10 years ago that any SOW
ereign or chief of state raised his or
her representative here to a grade
higher than that of minister pieni-
potentiary, Queen Victoria being the
first to do 50 by the appointment Of
the late Lord Pauncefote of Preston,
then minister, as ambassador.

work at the plant of the Nationals Steel
Co, at Bellaire, Ohio. The works were
closed down for an indefinite period on
orders from Pittsburg. No explanation
was given for the order.

employed as domestic at the Ottawa
University at Ottawa, Ont, has not yet
been found and it is feared that she
persisted in the fire. All the other suf-
ferers were doing as well as could be ex-
pected, Thursday, except Father Full
ham, who is in critical condition.
The Pope was most concerned at the
receipt of news of destruction by fire,
Wednesday, of the Roman Catholic
University at Ottawa, and was espeo-
tally solicitious in inquiring about the
injured priests and students. He n
structed Mgr. Sharretti, the Apostolic
delegate in Canada, to send detailed
report Of the disaster and will. decide
on the best measures to be taken 10
repair the damage done. The news
caused great excitement at the Cana
dian college at Rome, as the rector and
students have many friends at the OF
tawa University.

GOOD FIGHTERS.
The Tribesmen of German Southwest
Africa Are in Training.

Berlin, Dec. 3.-The Bondelzwartz
tribesmen of German Southwest At
RIGA, after their defeat, Nov. II, by tie
German expeditionary column, re-
treated into British territory and oc-
cupied some islands in the Orange
river.
The battle, which was fought at san
fontein, began, Nov. 90. The firing was
kept up almost continuously for two
days, both sides observing cautious
tactics. The tribesmen lost heavily,
according to the official advices, anu
the German losses We're slight but no.
enumerated. The column sent by the
authorities of Cape Colony to prevent
the tribesmen from entering BRUSH
territory was not in touch with the
German expedition. It is presumed
that the British located the rebels,
and the latter will be driven over the
borders into the hands of the Germans.
