NEW CANAL TREATY
Convention Just Negotiated
With Panama.
FREEDOM GUARANTEED
PLEDGE ASSUMED BY THE
UNITED STATES.
Strip Of Five Miles On Each Side OF
the Proposed Waterway to Be
Coded to United States.

The first five articles of the Hay-Var1lla
canal treaty signed Wednesday night IN
this city, deal. exclusively with the ques-
| ton of sovereignty. In substance they are
to this effect:
Article 1.-The United States guarantees
and agrees to maintain the independence OF
the republic of Panama.
Article 1.-THE republic of Panama cedes
to the United States five miles on each side
of the canal and three marine leagues at
each terminal and also any other lands
necessary to the construction or mainte-
nance of the canal and It's auxiliaries.
Article III-The republic Of Panama
grants to the United States the right TO
exercise the same power and authority over
such lands ''as if it were sovereign and 10
the exclusion of such power by Panama.
Article IV-The republic of Panama
grants to the United States the use Of all
the rivers streams and waters for naViga-
ton or so far as is necessary to the con-
struction of the canal and its auXillarleS,
including purposes of sanitation.
Article V-The republic of Panama grants
to the United States in perpetuity mOnop-
oily of any system of communication across
its territory by canal or by railroad.
The remaining twenty-one articles of the
treaty deal for the most part with questions
of adminiStra ton. For example, article
Vi declares free for all time the ports at
either entrance of the canal, including
Panama and Colon. and provides that no
dues of any kind shall be imposed by the
republic of Panama on any vessel using
the canal or belonging to employed by
the United States. 1t also provides that
the ports of Panama and Colon and others
leading to the canal shall be free to the
commerce of the world and that no duties
shall be imposed except on merchan lise
destined to be introduced for consum ption
into the republic of Panama and on vessels
which touch at Colon and Panama and do
not cross the canal.
The Panama government, however. is al
lowed under this article to establish at
these ports such custom houses and guards
as may be deemed necessary to collect du-
ties on importations destined for other
parts Of the republic To the United States
Is given the right to make use of the ports
at the two extremities of the canal as
places of anchorage in order to make re-
pairs, for loading, unloading, depositing or
transhipping cargoes which are in transit
or destined for service of the canal and
other works

AN OLD ISSUE REVIVED
Charge Of Improperly Adver-

IN ANNUAL REPORTS
STATEMENT MADE BY HEALTH
OFFICER Woodward.
Publication Of Data in Connection
With Report in 1899-Copy

Commissioner mcfarland has received
from pr w. c. Woodward, health officer
of the District, a statement relative to the
prospectus Of the Washington Sanitary I'm
prOvement Company and an offer to sell
stock in the company, which was Included
In the annual report of the District COM
missioners for 1899. Several months ago
exceptions were taken to the publication IN
the Commissioners report Of the matters
| referred to, 1t being alleged that the print
ing of the prospectus and offer to sell stock
bore the appearance Of advertising a pri-
vate company at the expense Of the Dis
trict. In his Endorsement on the papers
Commissioner Macfarland made the follow
ing statement in regard to the matter:
LAS the publication referred to in the
accompanying papers was made before
came into office and took supervision of
the health department, 1 had no knowl-
edge Of 1t, and, therefore, when it was
brought to my attention, 1 asked the
Eealth officer to prepare at his convenience
a statement of the facts, which might be
deposited in the files of this office. The
unusual pressure upon the time of the
health officer has induced me to advise HIM
to defer preparing this statement until
now. 1t will be deposited in the files.''

THE NEW POPE.

IL is a common remark that the pres idential convention of the United States and the conclave of cardinals tend 10 choose the same kind of man, which is to say. moderate. available kind of man. rather than the great leader. In a sense the remark is true. l. is, of course. to be borne in mind that the requirement. of "ayaila- ability" which a successful candidate for the nomination to the presidency must fulfill is by no means exacted from a candidate for the papacy It is the difference between an appeal to the populace and final choice by ex- perts. In this respect the choice of a pope resembles rather the election of a bishop by either clerical and lay O. wholly clerical delegates. And in these we commonly find that the man elected is a compromise candidate"
 The vague belief that the pope is apt to be a weak man. comparatively speaking, finds certainly no warrant ia the experience of the last twenty-five years. during which the cffice has beea held by Leo XIII. IL is quite true that it is not at all apt to be held by the lead er of a faction in the church. But to say hat is no more than to say that the proceedings of the ccnclave are apt to be marked by political wisdom. Certainly at the periods. of which there have been many, during which the church has been sharply divided Gpon questions of ecclesiastical pol icy, nothing more injurious could have happered to it than papal election in which one side could claim an unchalleaged victory. That un- wisdom in modern times the church has successfully avoided.
 At present the church within the bosom of the Church Catholic which is regarded with most interest by the world is without doubt the relations between the church of Rome and the Kingdom of Italy. involving the ques-
 ion. which we suppose no Catholic would pretend to have been definitely settled, of the temporal power of the papacy. A partisan upon that ques- ion the new pope can by no means be called.
 IL is of good augury for the future citations cf the Roman church and the italian state that the new occupant of he Vatican should be, of all the high :igni' aries of the church that one rost acceptable at the Quirinal. And it is Of equally good augury that that act can scarcely have escaped the lct.ce of the ccnclave.

how in Dublin a certain distinguished

THE OUTLOOK FOR AUTHORS
Really Good Writers Need Nor Fear
Discrimination

The rush of the crowd to read
book which may have no literary merit
or vitality either of material or OF
presentation, simply because 1t is
talked about, is never wholesome, and
il the crowd has grown more critical
and clear-minded in its judgments,
and has ceased to move upon sudden
impulses and learned to decide for
itself, the loss will fall, not on writer's
Of real merit, but on few whose re-
wards were generally beyond their
deserts. The average Of literary work
in this country in many departments
is high. If great books are not pro-
duced In large numbers, good books
are produced in very considerable
numbers, and in soundness of knoWl-
edge, in good taste and literary work
manship, great advance is evident
over the work of an earlier generation.
It is period of quiet progress, time
of preparation rather than time OF
accomplishment.

the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.

Overlooked a Detail.

A Long Island farmer came to
Brooklyn with his wife to do some
shopping the other day On his way
back the thought came to him that he
had forgotten something. He took
out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it of, and saw that he
had made all the purchases he intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He again took out his
notebook and rechecked every item,
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times but could not rid
himself of the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he
reached home and drove up to the
house his daughter came out to meet
him, and, with a look Of surprise,
asked: why, papa, where is moth
er?"-Mail and Express.

Historic Hoax Perpetrated by Gusta-
vus TIT. Of Sweden.
King Gustavus III. of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court Of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two Of his attendants-a page
named Peyron, and Desvouges, a valet
who had formerly been an actor-to be
entertained by the duchess. The two
personated the king and his minister,
Baron Spare, and sustained the char
acters throughout. They accepted as
their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who we're presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait.
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying him
self elsewhere in secret.
