control and protection of the canal right
Of wav

VI way.
Colombia is said to have made recently
a liberal concession in the amount previ-
ously demanded for an annual rental. Ac-
cording to the terms of the original proto-
col with Colombia, this amount was not to
be fixed until the expiration of fourteen
years, a payment of $1,000, 900 cash being
promised by the United States in lieu of
rental for that period. Subsequently Co.
lombia asked that the rents be fixed in
the proposed treaty and stated her willing
ness to accept $650,000 annually. This
amount was regarded as entirely too high
by the United States, and Secretary Hay
declined positively, more than a month
ago, to agree to any such agreement.
A Guess at the Rental.
The treaty will provide for the transfer
to the United States of the right to con-
struct an interOceanic canal on the 18TH
mus Of Panama, with virtual but not NOM
inal sovereignty over a strip of territory
extending three miles to each side of the
canal. The fiat price to be paid 10y the
United States is understood to be $40 O00,-
600, and the annual rental fixed is prob
ably not far from half the $3.50, 1000 de-
manded previously.
If the Panama canal treaty had not been
signed before the end of the month, Pres
| ident Roosevelt would have sent mes
sage to the senate explaining the reasons
for the failure Of the negotiations with
| Colombia, and there is reason to believe
| that the message would have been accom-
panied by canal treaties with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica.
80 Trouble for the Senate.
The senate will now have the Panama
canal treaty added to its program of COM
plications. Naturally there is a great de-
sire to dispose Of it, and thus pave the
way for actual canal construction. The
treaty will give rise to considerable debate
in executive session, which, with the de-
bates on the Cuban treaty, is likely to
keep the senate behind closed doors during
many of the remaining days Of the session.
It is thought the Intrusion of the canal
treaty will tend to bring about the speedy

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygien;c living, about vegeta-
ranism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is
served and the food crank is in his glory.
and arguments and theories galore adj
vanced to prove that meat was never in
tended for human stonlachs, and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws Of health
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate.. A warm welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in matters
Of diet and a mixed diet Of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form and Is digested

planned desperate countercharge on
both banks of the bayou, but the Fed

hazardous, and instead of attacking he
retreated before daylight on the 18th
with his whole command.
During the night the gunboat Cotton
was seen by the Federals to burst into
flames. She had been swung across the
channel and set on fire, and after the
upper works burned away the hull
sank to the bed of the bayou, com

The fight on Bayou Teche was the
baptism of fire for the Eighth Yer
mont, yet it escaped with few scratches,
although it captured forty-one of the
Louisanians Its good fortune was
due to the fact that it fanked the en-

How cranston Saved His Brother.

recently displayed an act of heroism and
devotion to his brother that entities
him to almost any honor that may be
paid him.
Two little sons of Rev. j. Il. RAIDER,
aged ten and flve were walking up
the track Of the electric road and were
crossing n cattle guard when the little
fellow caught a foot between the bars.
Every one knows how the cars are
speeded over the Arvada line, like a
railroad express at times. Soon the
boys heard a car coming at the rate Of
perhaps fifty miles an hour.
The foot was wedged in so fast that
their combined strength was not
enough TO release it, although they tug
ged and strained. Then the eldest boy.

At the last minute the star pupil did
not appear, and Miss Garland was in
despair, for she had no one to take her

1t was already 8 o'clock, the time stated
for the commencement of the musicale
Then she caught sight of little face
down among the guests. 1t belonged to
Dorothy Madden, her youngest pupil,
sitting between her mother and father
A happy thought struck Miss Garland,
and, although she had not intended to
have the libie girl play, she sent Tom
McGinnis to get her. Tom was the boy
who had been hired to serve the re-
freshmepts after the musicale. He
made Lis way to Dorothy and said:

" out on the platform, but when she
saw the crowd of faces she exclaimed

The Eight-Hour Bill,

The emasculated eight. t.hour bill finally passed both houses of the legis- lature on Monday last and is in the hands of the governor. Speculation as to what disposition he will make of it IS probably idle, although Mir Brodie in his message to the Twenty second legislature referred to eight.hour legis- lation in terms which showed that be considered it of at least doubtful ex- pedience
 He said ''I would respectfully sug- fest that fair and impartial view of the subject be taken that coDsidera- ton be given Go the effect of he same upon the mining industry of the terri tory, as we'll as the labor interests, re- mem mbering that such laws are some- times two edged and may, if improperly framed, or made too far reaching in effect, do damage instead of good to the interests of those for whose benefit they have been framed and passed.
 The bill as passed applies only to workmen in underground mines or workings It is believed that such a law would make very little difference to the large mining companies, as most of the employees of such companies working underground have eight. hour shifts. The law is more likely to work a hardship upon companies and indi- vidual owners of small means develop ing claims in the prospect stage, which really have the most important bearing on the development of the mining industry of the territory
