WOULD NEGOTIATE NEW TREATY
Colombians Willing to Grant Favor

Washington, Dec. 5.-Minister Beau.

department that the Hay y-Herran canal
treaty was rejected by the Colombian
senate on its merits that is to say
that the treaty itself in its text and
its spirit was regarded as objection.
able
Mr.. Beaupre is confident that moth
ing in the instructions he had received
from Washington relative to the
presentation of the treaty in Bogota in
the slightest degree influenced the
adverse action upon the convention by
the Colombian senate.
The minister's advices continue to
set out the fact that the Colombians
are still hopeful of being able to nego-
tiate new treaty with the United
States in place of the defeated Hay
Herran treaty and regrettRg the ad-
verse action of their senate, are will
ing to extend to the United States
terms much more favorable than those
contained in that treaty. Promises
have gone so far as they indicate that
the present congress might be dis
solved and new congress chosen by
order Of the president and that the
latter would see to 1t that the new
congress would be favorable to any
canal treaty that he might submit for
| it's ratification.
Secretary Hay has promised to pre-
sent General Reyes to President
Roosevelt. The date will depend upon
the presidents pleasure. The secre
tary is satisfied as to the plenipoten

Terms.
Ellendale'Record: The trial Of Peter
Reidlinger, charged with being one Of
the slayers Of Chris Rott in the blind
pig Of Freda Winters in Ashley last
February, resulted in the jury finding
the defendant guilty of manslaughter in
the second degree, the punishment be-
ing fixed at imprisonment in the peni-
tnntiary for a term of one year. The
case was submitted to the jury Satur-
day noon, and after debating the propo-
stion for few hours the above YER
dict was arrived at. Attorney BOUCHER,
for the defense, Immediately gave no.
tice of intention to move for nes trial
and asked that MIR. Reidlinger be ad-
mitted to bail pending the motion. This
was granted by Judge Fisk and the
bond heretofore given by the defendant
was deemed sufficient and Reidlinger
departed for his home in Mcintosh
county Sunday, to remain until the final
disposition of the case.
The evidence in the Reidlinger case
differed little from the preceding ones,
the prosecution depending for convic-
tion principally on the testimony of
Freda Winters, who conducted the blino
pig where the affair occurred, and l..
Grinanger, the printer, who was present
during the time, and whose te-timon,
was substantially the same as given by
Mrs. Winters. On the other hand, the
defendant claimed the trouble arose in
an entirely different manner and that

A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

The outlook for good returns on
building investments in Annapolis was
never so bright as at the present time.
The house famine is wide spread, and
there is no immediate relief in sight.
Rents have gone ballooning. Houses
that brought from $40 TO $l2 a month
now easily bring $50 and $25, and
there are many families who cannot
find a house at any price.
This extraordinary demand for
houses will continue until relief is
offered by the erection of new build
ings. The reasons for this are obvious.
First, a considerable area of built-up-
property has been absorbed by the
Government in order to accommodate
the improvements at the Naval Acad-
emy. Secondly, the increase in the
number of midshipmen at the Acad-
emy has caused an increase in the
corps of instructors, which, in turn,
means an enlargement of our popula-
tion in various other ways. In addi-
ton, there remains the natural growth
Of the city, not rapid one, to be
sure, but one that must be reckoned
with.
There are many beautiful tracts of
land on the outskirts of the town
where comfortable houses could be
erected with plenty of yard room for
the children and breathing space in
hot weather Let those who have
money to invest prepare TO invest it
now.
