NdSuluBOon5 ~ ~ ~'N'' -
A rough draft of the proposed canal
treaty between the United States and
Panama has already been prepared, and
il is expected that the formal document
will be made complete aud ready for the
signatures within a few days, probably
in time for the President to send 1t 10
the Senate for ratification before the adj
iournment of the extra session. Inc
GENERAL terms of the convention have
been agreed upon, and it only remains
FIR the two plenipotentiaries to come
into accord on the minor details. The
treaty with Colombia was used as a basis
for the new instrument, but it is under
stood that the United States will be
granted more liberal terms than in the
former convention. The cash bonus to
be paid for the right to dig the canal IS
the same-Sl0, 600, 900. Then there will
be an annual rental, after the first ten
years. In the Colombian treaty this
rental was $3.50, 600. The United States
will have exclusive control over the
canal strip, which will be ten miles
wide. and will also be given the right to
fortify the harbors of Colon and Panama
and occupy certain islands therein.
The remains of Mrs. James Monroe
and of her daughter, Mrs. Samuel
Gouverneur, were taken to Richmond
this morning at 1880 o'clock. The re-
nlains reached here last night from OAK
Hill, near Leesburg, Va, the one time
estate of President Monroe. The parlor
car bearing the caskets was guarded
during the night and attracted many
persons to the railroad station. Presi-
dent aud Mrs. Roosevelt sent huge
bunch of american Beauty roses which
were placed on Mrs. Monroe's casket.
Accompanying the remains were all OF
the living descendants of the President.
The remains will reach Richmond at
11:45 o'clock. The remains will be
given a State funeral by the State OF
Virginia Mrs. Monroe's body will be
inferred in one side of the grave OF her
husband in Hollywood cemetery and
their daughters on the other.
The work of recognizing the Senate
committees is about completed. Senator
German has informed Senator Hale that
he will be able to submit to him his
report as to the democratic assignments
tomorrow, and the republican committee
will meet at two o. clock tom jrrow after
noon to finally draft the list. The lead
ing committee of the Senate, that on
finance, will be composed as follows
Aldrich, Allison, Plat, Comm, Bur
rows, Plat, IN. W, Hansbrough,
Spooner, Penrose, republicans, and
Daniel, Money, Dubois, German and
Bailey, democrats. Senator Teller OF
Colorado, who was on the committee
last session, has asked to be transferred
to the judiciary committee.
The French Ambassador called at the
State Department this morning and pre-
sented the official notification that his
government had recognized the new Re-
public of Panama.

doun. The bodies passed through this

living descendants of the Monroes.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. IS. 100;
Tur ACTION of the American Federi

THE ACTION of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, now in session in Boston,
in repudiating nine resolutions, intro
duced by socialist members, shows the
GOOD sense and conservatism Of the
majority of the representatives Of the
laboring classes of this country. Social
istic leaders have endeavored to leap
ture', all conventions of workingmen'
and their emissaries are working In bos-
ton ready to profit by any indiscree'
movement on the part OF the representa-
tiyes of the working classes. There
should be no affinity between those VINO
live by honest toll and socialists who are
endeavoring to use the former as
bludgeon to put in force exploded
theories. The world is full of craDks,
all more or less dangerous, who imagine
they are born to propagate politlco'
economic principles. Most of them are
like terrapins, carrying all they own
upon their backs, and consequently
have nothing to lose. Workingmen,
above all others, should steer cleal
of socialism the former has nothing IL
common with the latter, and the wile'
of the serpent now gliding arounf
Faneuil Hall should have no effect uPor
honest workingmen.

The Rest Remedy for Croup.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle Of
the night by a whoop from one Of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost in case. of Group
as a revolver is to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an odfashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

Mr.. RICHARDSON, Of Tennessee, in
troduced bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday to place all trust
made articles on the free list and to re-
duce the rate of duty on all articles
manufactured in the United States aad
sold more cheaply abroad than in this
country. If this bill could get before
the House it would be passed, but it will
be pigeonholed and probably never heard
OF again in that body. Even should its
author succeed in securing favorable ac-
ton by the Representatives when it
reached the Senate it would be killed,
for there the trusts rule and no law in
imical to them will be passed by that
body so long as the republicans control.
Yet it is strange that American laws
should remain upon the statute books

THE DEMOCRATIC position in regard
To the Panama transaction is admirably
stated by Senator Clay, OF Georgia. who
is a member of the committee on com
nerce OF the course OF the admins
tration he says: at is going long
way to recognize the independence OF a
government and treat it in its independ-
ent capacity and relieve it from its obll-
cations toward the parent country.
England recognized the Confederate
States as "belligerents," but that, the
Senator argues, is quite different thing
from hastily recognizing the independ'
ence of Panama without the least con-
sideration for the rights of the republic
of Colombia. Admitting that Colombia
has not acted well toward this govern
ment in rejecting the canal treaty, the
fact. saws the Senator, does not justify
this nation in coercing a weak neighbor
or Gin doing anything to reflect upon
the honor of this great republic, even to
secure such an important waterway
In fine. national honor and public law
cannot be prostituted to secure the great
est political advantages.

fight among themselves, anei in the course
of the melee, demolished every article

Don't mistake the cause Of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
Il is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Baekache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
An Alexandria resident tells you how this
can be done.
A well-known lady resident 'of this city
says: 81 went to L. S. Leadbeater & Sons
drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills and used
them for persistent aching pain across the
small of the back which was accompanied
with dizziness, which greatly distressed me at
times. This condition had existed for several
months, and each succeeding attack was of
longer duration and more acute than its
predecessor; in fact just before / used Doan's
Kidney Pills as hardly able to get AROUND

Havana, Nov. 1S.-The republic Of
Cuba has refused to comply with the re-
quest of President Marroquin, of Colon

to Colombia's opposition to the new re-

discussed at a meeting of the Cabinet to-
day. After the meeting Senior Daque,
Cuban Minister at Panama, was again
instructed to treat with the provisional

HONEST CABMAN.-Harrison Power,
OF New York, carrying his wiie's
jewelry, valued at $40, 900, in two par
cells, took a cab in London, on Monday,
with the intention of placing them in a
safe-deposit vault. He alighted at his
tailor's on the way and dismissed the cab
Discovering later that he had left the
jewelry on the cab seat, he notified
police headquarters and was informed
that the packages would probably be
delivered to Scotland Yard by the cab
man. Hurrying to the Vine street
police station, he gave the inspector
there a detailed account of the jewels.
The official was confident they would be
recovered, and, sure enough, few
hours later the inspector called at the
Carlton and informed Colonel Power,
who by this time had become somewhat
anxious, that the missing jewelry was
awaiting him at Scotland Yard. The
honest cabman, who handed over the
packages to the police, will get sub
stantiaI reward, as the law entities him
to 20 per cent. of the value of articles
recovered in this way.
