News from Colombia Says There Is
Little Likelihood of Legislation
Regarding Canal.

Washington, Oct Pa communica-
tion from United States Minister Beau
pre-, at Bogota, indicates that the present
session of the Colombian congress is not
expected to make any further progress
with the canal legislation. The special
committee which has been considering
the proposition to declare the franchise
of the Panama Canal company vacated
and the extension heretofore granted
illegal has made report which is so am
biguous in it's terms as to permit of sew
eral constructions and practically leaves
the question undecided. AS the present

expected.

POWERS SUBMIT Their PLAN
Proposed Settlement of Macedonian
Difficulties.
Most Important Principles of the
Scheme-Opposition of the
Sultan Is Expected.

COnstantinople, Oct 26-The scheme
OF the powers for the amelioration Of
affairs in Macedonia was submitted to
the porte Friday. It has for its guild
ing principle control OF and surveil-
lance over all branches of the admin
iStratiOn of the disturbed provinces by
Austria and Russia for period of two
years. The proposals include the ap-
pOlntment OF one Austrian and one
Russian assessor, to be attached to the
staff of Hilmi Pasha, the inspector
general, with a corps of assistants, Sec
retarles and interpreters, whose duties
will be to exercise control over ali the
acts of the provincial authorities. A
European general in the Turkish serv-
ice is to be appointed to command the
gendarmerie, and he will be assisted
by an adequate number of Russian and
Austrian officers acquainted with the
languages of the country, and, if nee
essary, by Austrian and Russian non
commissioned officers.
A couple of further important
proposals, which will be bitter
ly opposed by the sultan, pro-
vide for the establishment of COM
munal autonomy and the rectifcation
Of the present communal boundaries,
with the view to the better distribu-
ton of the various communities, and
the creation of spheres, Bulgarian, AL
bantam, Servian, etc., that shall be
more homogeneous in nationality and
religion. Other points of the scheme
deal with the relief of refugees, the re-
building of villages, schools and
churches, the disbandment of the ir-
regular troops and the prohibition ST
the employment of Bashi-Bazouks
Opposition to the whole scheme is ex-
pected on the part of the porte, but
the Austrian and Russian ambassadors
demand the adoption of the plan with
the least possible delay.
1t is thought that some of the other
powers may object to the appointment
Of exclusively Austrian and Russian
assessors and demand that the COM
mission of control be given more in
ternatiOnal character.

THELATESTPARASITE
Discovery of Germ Which Produces
Dreaded Sleep Disease.
Ai1ment Has Caused Death of Thou
sands of African Natives-Sinsu-
lar Malady of Which Little
Has Been Known

A dispatch received at New York
from Liverpool the other day said that
medical mission was about to start
for the Congo to investigate further
the supposed connection of the para
site trypanosoma with the sleeping
sickness which within the past Is years
mas caused the death of many thou
sands Of African natives
This disease was first observed on
the Congo. In the early stage the pa
tlent is quiet, with dull facial ex-
impulse to sleep.
AS the disease advances there is
presis of gait and speech, tremors Of
the tongue, lips and hands, and the
dullness of expression deepens. In the
third stage these symptoms become
more pronounced, and the patient is
IN a state of complete lethargy until
death relieves him.
The disease has decreased on the
Congo, but it has spread eastward: and
its ravages about two years ago
reached Uganda on the north shore of
Victoria Nyanza 1t has not yet EXTEND
Cd further east, but it is still carrying
off hundreds of victims in Uganda.
On November IL last, DR.. Castellani,
VINO was examining a specimen OF cere-
bro-spinal fluid taken during life from
We11-marked case of sleeping sick
ness, was surprised to observe living
trypanosoma. In his later investiga-
lions many trypanosomas were found.
He suggested as working hypothe-
sis on which to base further investiga-
tlon that sleeping sickness was due to
the species of trypanosoma which he
had discovered in the cerebro-spinal
fluid OF the patients. Later studies by
the physicians in Uganda have seemed
to establish the correctness of the the
ory 1t now appears certain that every
case of sleeping sickness has trypano-
comes in the cerebro-spinal fluid.
How is the parasite introduced into
the human system? The Uganda ply
sicians believed they have solved this
problem.
They were impressed with the singu-
lar fact that the disease in that region
occurs only along the northern shores
of the Victoria Nyanza. in a strip of
country about IS miles WIDE They
reached the conclusion that trypano-
somes were carried by some blood
sucking insect. They finally found the
parasite in a species of the tsetse fly,
and have proved by their laboratory
experiments that these flies have con-
veycd trypanosomes to a monkey
The investigation had reached this
point when the report of the sleeping
sickness commission was published
in August last. 1t is at least encour-
aging to think that the cause of this
terrible malady is likely soon to be
, fully understood
With this knowledge gained there
will be reason to hope that remedies
may be found for the disease, which,
until now, has baff1ed medical Skill

They smoked out the wrong man.
The arbitrary methods of the Mus
covltes may make a mess of it once
in while. An account of a ridi-
culous blunder made by the police
at largo has just made the rounds
of the Scandinavian press. Prof.
Arvid Neovius, who occupied posi-
ton at a high school in Helsing
fors, was suspected of anti-Russian
agitation, and the police were order
ed to search his house for evidence
against him. On the same day some
policemen proceeded to the house of
Senator Neovius, at Hango, and they
made thorough search of his house,
breaking locks and prying into every
thing and even destroying much ex-
pensive furniture. After the raid
was made it was found out that Sen
ator Neovius was cousin of the man
that the authorities had in mind. But
what makes this sample of Russian
justice particularly rich is the fact
that particularly rich is the fact
and tool of General Bobrikoff, the
arch enemy of Finnish liberty.

farms had given good crops but the
money invested drew a very low rate
of interest. In Vesterbotten and
Norrbotten the state had been in the
habit of giving away valuable tracts
of timber to, the farmers in order to
help them. along. BUT the results
were not what the government ex-
pected; many of those farmers have
sold out to the numbering companies.
On the whole, Prof. Hogbom did not

Mrs. Lundum of Randers was to

because the lady wished to be chlor-
oformed. When everything was sup
posed to be in order and the dentist
was about to perform the operation
the patient opened her eyes and said

this resulted in an immediate and
complete collapse. The physicians,
realizing the danger, at once made
vigorous efforts to bring her back
to life, but in the course of an hour
they became convinced that there
was no hope. The woman had been
chloroformed on several occasions
during her life, and the physicians
were exonerated. She was 40 years
old, and the mother of six children.

The Osterberg Brothers flats in
Kristianstad seem to be an Eldorado
for tenants. Miss Johanna Lindstrom
celebrated her ffty-year jubilee as a
tenant in the building October first,
and on that occasion she invited all
the older tenants to her rooms,
where she entertained them. Miss
Bothilda Nygren has lived in the
building no less than 60 years, that
is to say, since her birthday. Sew
ing has been the chief occupation of
these two ladies, and they have spent
good and evil days together since
their early childhood. The "Old
Lady" of the house is Hanna Nilsson,
sometimes called Svensson, after her
husband, who died ever so long ago.
Hanna Nilsson will be "a years old
December next. She is sometimes
called 1.-The governors nurse" which
title she justly earned in the ding
past. She is receiving 81 cents >.a<
month from the poor board, other
wise she depends upon the generosity
of her lady fellow tenants for a-4iF--
ing. She has lived in the building
for So years. In another part of the
building, which has a bewildering
lot of garrets and hooks and corners,
there is a dressmaker named johann,
ma Gran, who will be so years old

The Alaska Boundary.

The Alaskan Boundary Commission
in London has ended its public hear
ings, and is now meeting in secret for
the consideration of the evidence, and
it is believed that verdict will be
reached and announced before the end
of the present week. If the result is
simply a disagreement, as seems now
not unlikely, this country will lose moth
ing, but it will be greatly to the dis
credit of the British commissioner, who
sits with the two Canadians and the
three Americans as a member of the
court. If he sustains by his vote the
American contentious, the much vexed
matter of the boundary. about which
Canada has made so much trouble since
the discovery of gold in Alaska, will be
settled for all time, but if he votes with
the two Canadian representatives the
case will remain exactly as it was be-
fore the commission met.
The reports of the proceedings indi-
cate that Judge Dickinson's closing ar
gument for the United States was very
effective. He showed among other
things that Lord Aversion, the British
commissioner, made an argument few
years ago before the Behring Sea COM
mission in Paris. in which he allowed
the boundary line to be just as it is
now and was always claimed to be by
the United States. though the Cana
dams are trying to dispute that boun-
dairy. If Lord Aversion goes back on
his position at that time, it will be a
| most inconsistent proceeding and a
grave reproach upon his integrity and
fairness. People of both countries, and
particularly those of Alaska and West
| ern Canada, wait with much expec-
fancy the verdict of the commissioner
