CANAL TREATY NOW DEAD.
Panama Congress Fails to Ratify
Within Time Limit.

Washington. Sept. 23.-When the
state department closed last night it
was agreed that the Panama canal trea-
tyw as dead, although eight hours yet
remained within which the Colombian
congress might take affirmative action
on it. Nothing, however, has been re-
ceived during the day, either from Min
lister Beaupre at Bogota, or from Mr.
Herran, the Colombian charge here,
which gave the slightest hope of a ia
vorable issue.
A report Is current here that the Co.
lombian congress in secret session has
clothed President Marroquin with full
power to negotiate a treaty. If this
report should prove to be true, Presi-
dent Marroquin, who is counted a
friend of the treaty, could proceed I'M
trammeled by fear of future reckoning
with his congress. In any event, Pres
Ident Roosevelt must now take the next
step. He can elect to proceed under the
Spooner act and take up the Nicaragua
route, or he can allow the matter to
drift for the present, in the hope that
a way may yet be found to straighten
out the present difficulty in the path Of
the Panama route.

DESIGN SELECTED.
Alaska Building at Fair to BE Hy-
dab House With Totem Poles.

Washington, Sept. 25. - Although
there has been 30 much delay in set
Ting the squabble over the Alaska COM
missionership to the st. Louis exposi-
ton, partial arrangements have already
been made for the territory's exhibit
at the fair. The plans for the educa-
tional exhibit, under the direction of
DR.. Sheldon Jackson, are well under
way. The design for the Alaska build
ing at St. Louis has been selected. 1t
is to be Hydah indian house. No one
has explained WHY an Indian dwelling
should be used to typify commercial
and industrial Alaska, but it is given
out that the building will be a model
of it's kind, and that totem pole will
be placed at each corner. This will in
crease the popular impression that
Alaska is land of savages and icebergs.

Portland, Sept. 25.-Baling of the

bales, compared with $4,000 bales pro-

mainder being more or less tainted
with mold. The market is firm, with

of prime to choice hops were sold today

PRAISE FOR FORT LAwTON.
General Corbin Speaks Highly OF
That Post.

Seattle, Sept. 2S.-"Fort Lawton is
certainly destined to become one OF the
leading army posts of the country"
said Adjutant General Corbin, of the
United States army, after his return
from an inspection of the work now in
progress at the fort cit has beau
tiful and healthful location, and the
water supply is of the first quality. Sit
uated as it is Immediately at the door
of the Pacific carrying trade in the
Northwest. besides the port through
which military forces and supplies will
largely be shipped to the Philippines,
and, if occasion requires, to other
places in the Orient, it should and
doubtless will be fostered by the gov
eminent as one OF it's chief military
stations.
81 was much pleased with what
saw there, both with the natural adj
vantages and with the improvements
already completed and those under
way. When the present buildings are
completed the post should present a
striking and attractive appearance.
"The present comparative inacessi-
bility of the post is it's only drawback,
and that can be easily overcome. I'M
lerstand that project is in progress
now whcih will remove occasion for
criticism-that is, the construction OF
an electric line from Ballard. The
freight traffic alone which the govern
ment would furnish would pay for the
operation of such line. All the enor-
nous quantities of building material
required for the buildings now under
construction at the fort were hauled
there in wagons at great expense, and
it is very slow process"
