Boston grocers for retail trade. The
management predicts that in the near

the same way. The company has a
cold storage plant at Lyndonville with
a capacity of 100000 pounds, where
surplus butter is stored and held for
favorable market. The company is
now planning to do an extensive bust
ness in handling eggs. and expects to

Hogs, like other animals, including

with ashes and charcoal should be
kept always within reach of the hogs,
so they may help themselves. This
mixture is good for the digestion, be-
cause it is stomach disinfectant. and

Paris, Feb. 1S.-ItI is said in official
quarters here that the Austrian am
bassador at Constantinople will pre-
sent a note to the porte asking for re-
forms in Macedonia. This is regarded
as inaugurating the project for joint
action on the part of the European
powers toward Turkey. The presenta-
ton of the Russian note. which is iden-
teal, will follow that of Austria, but
the foreign Office here has not yet been
advised of the exact date of its pres
entation. The terms of notes We're
submitted to France, Great Britain,
Italy and Germany. and were approved
in principle by all except Germany.
This is regarded by the French officials
as indicating German divergence from
the European concert, and as tend
ency to support Turkey. The notes,
while firm, do not contain menace.

CABINET MEETING.
Various state Matters DISGUISED, Il. hut
Nothing of Importance
Is Done.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Assuranc is
given that the meeting of the cabinet
Tuesday developed nothing of serious
Importance. All the members except
Secretary Shaw were present and the
two hours consumed by the session
were spent in an informal discussion
largely of departmental affairs.
Secretary Hay presented to the cab
inet the text of the protocol which had
been signed on behalf of the United
States and Venezuela for the reference
of the claims of this government
against the South American republic
to arbitration.
The status of the Panama canal
treaty in the senate again was dis
cussed. Some apprehension is ex-
pressed that the treaty may not be-
ratified at the present session owing
to the opposition of Senator Morgan.
The option the United States holds on
the Panama Canal company's property
will expire on March 4.
1t is impossible, even if the treaty
should be ratified blythe senate at this
session, to effect an exchange of rati-
fications until after the expiration of
the option. 1t is proposed, however,
to enter into contract with the Pana-
ma Canal company by the terms of
which the amount agreed upon shall be
paid the company by this government
on the exchange of notifications be-
tween the United States and Colombia.
That arrangement, it is regarded, will
tide over the present emergency and
keep alive the option.
