WILSON IS SANGU|NE.
SECRETARY WILSON BELIEVES
STOCK DISEASES WILL BE
FRADlCATED.
AGRICULTURAL WORK MADE OUR
CATTLE HEAlTHlEST IN
THE WORLD.
SEES NO SIGN OF BREAK IN PROS.
PERiTY OF AMERICAN
FARMERS.

Washington, Jan. 1--WE will soon
eradicate all disease in cattle" said
Secretary Wilson, within short time
the scab disease in sheep will disap-
pear, as will the black leg which
affects calves. and tuberculosis in cat
tie will decrease from time to time
through the efforts of the agricultural
department.
Already our cattle are the health
lest in the world, and we soon will be
able to excel our own record. For
years We have been working on these
lines and have accomplished much
good, which has resulted beneficially
from financial standpoint to our
farmers, who are more prosperous now
than ever before in the history of this
country.
MANY of the Western farmers have
more money than they need in the con-
duct OF their business and are investing
purchasing stocks and bonds and put
ting their money in the savings banks,
while others are buying cheap land in
British Columbia.
Prosperity is widespread and the
farmers are receiving high prices for
their product. | do not see any sign
OF break in our phenomenal record
OF prosperity so far as the farmer is
concerned.
Farming operations of today are
conducted under vastly different condi,
tions," continued Secretary Wilson,
than were those of few years ago
Scientific methods are employed now
in farming operations, and every day
the farmers are being taught the re
suits OF the experiments of this de-
paf;ment. They are now in closer
touch with the markets of the world
than ever before. This is caused By
the establishment of the rural free de-
livery system, which, in many re-
spects. puts the farmer on the same
footing with the city merchant by
giving the former the daily newspapers
containing the market reports with
mail facilities which enable him to
| transact business promptly"

Chicago, Jan. 2.-William E. Curtis
in q Washington special to the Record
Herald says:
The negotiations with Colombia for
a canal treaty have been suspended
again and Secretary Hays patience is
very nearly exhausted. Mr.. Herran,
the charge d'affaires of Colombia, is
not to blame, for he has acted with en-
ergy, intelligence and good sense since
Minister Concha retired from the field
and returned to his country.
~ The treaty is practically completed
: knd is ready to sign. 1t was confident
ly expected that it would be signed be-
fore the first of the new year, but for
some reason or another the authori-
ties at Bogota have forbidden Mr.. Her
. IAN, or at least will not authorize him,
to conclude the negotiations, and he
has gone to New Jersey, where Nelson
Cromwell, the attorney of the Frep:t
Canal company, is now. lying>il, 1t is
supposed ths he rs seeking Cromwell's S
alvice because his government is not
veating him fairls.
He was instructed to make the
treaty, but he is not instructed to sign
It, and if he signs it without positive
IL structi0ns he would not dare to re-
turn to his home.
The president is not inclined to tenn
sriZe with Colombia much longer
kI.d the members of the senate and
hlalse of representatives who have
taken the most interest in canal legis-
lation are Of the opinion that the nego.
tiations with Colombia better be ter
minated, aud work begun on the Mic
aragua route. AS soon as congress re-
assemblies Mr. Morgan in the senate
and Mr.. Hepburn in the house will
introduce resolutions instructing the
president not to bother with Colon
bia any longer, but to close with Mic
aragua and Costa Rica, and commence
construction. Such action will prOba
bly, bring Colombia to terms.
