CANAL RIGHTS ARE PERPETUAL
Treaty is Transmitted to the Senate
by Secretary Hay, But Its De-
tailed Provisions are Not Yet
Made Public.

The treaty between the United
States and the United States OF Co
lombia, which was signed Thursday oy
Secretary Hay and DR.. Herran as the
representatives of the two countries,
was transmitted to the senate Friday
and by the senate referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
The treaty was read in execouVe
cession, but the Injunction OF secrecy
was not removed. BY the terms OF the
treaty the United States agrees to,
make cash payment OF 100000 IN
gold to the Colombian government and
after the expiration Of nine years, to
pay a rental Of $3.50, 900 per year. The
lease of the strip Of land to be used
fer the canal and for csual purposes
is practically made perpetual, the pro-
vision on this point being that the first
lease shall be for 100 years and renew
able thereafter in terms Of 100 years
at the pleasure of the United States.
The strip is to be ten kilometers, or
about six miles, in width, and over this
territory the United States is given
police and sanitary jurisdiction, al
though it is explicitly specified that
Colombia does not surrender soyer-
eighty over it.
The United States is to have the
privilege of free importation OF vessels
aud materials to be used In the con-
struction of the canal. 1t also is given
the right to improve. use and protect
harbors at both the Atlantic aud Pa
cifc ends of the canal. The grant is

charged in addition to the gross sums
of ten million dollars cash and guar
ter of million dollars annually.

the treaty, which is identical with
that drawn by this government several
months ago, and at that time submit
ted to the Colombian government with
the single exception of the amount of
annuity to be paid Colombia for the
right of way Of the canal This gov
ernment proposed an annuity Of $780,
900. while Columbia demanded $780,
900. The Colombian governments de-
mand was based, it is stated, upon the
ascertained returns from the Panama
Railroad Company in port dues, etc.,
which Colombia did not desire to have
reduced.
During the several months Of peg6
tiations Colombia agreed to all points
in the treaty proposed blythe United
States, with the exception Of the an
That has been the point Of diff
ference for many weeks and at One
time threatened to break of negotia-

agreement must be reached soon, as

upon the construction of the canal, il

forts have been making to secure an
agreement, but not until Thursday
were they successful. The Colombian

agreed to accept an annuity Of $685..

tween Sir Michael, Signor Mayor des

zuelan situation. All the negotiatorS
decline to discuss the results OF the
days meeting, but general statements
by them that the situation warrants
hope of early relief is significant OF
what was accomplished.
BY this time the London, Berlin and
Rome foreign officers are IL possession
of Mr.. Bowen's third proposition, stat
ing the nature of the guarantee he IS
prepared to offer for Venezuela if his
initial request is complied with and the
blockade raised at once. Strict retl'

and until the joint reply of the powers
is received this will not be discussed.

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE.
Quaint and Peaceful Place Half a
Hours Journey From Paris.

Quaint and Peaceful Place Half an
Hours Journey From Paris.
Itseems hardly credible that not more
than thirty minutes from all the noise
and hustle of Paris there lies a village
that is SO quiet, SO peaceful, and so
old-fashioned that one would imagine
oneself at least one hundred miles
away from the gay capital. Here, at
this village, La Frette by name, and
about fifteen minutes walk from Cor
meilles, preparations for midday and
evening repasts have to be made very
early in the morning, for no such
thing as n good shop is anywhere near
and the walk to Cormeilles is one
which one considers twice before TAX
ing, for it is up steep and rough roads.
Ger pass this quaint little place, and
the villagers gather round the various
tradesmen and make their purchases
for the day. They also buy their
clothes in this way, and may often be
seen trying on bonnets, dresses and
boots in the middle of the street From
a scenic point of view, all artists have
agreed that there is no place to equal
La F'rette between Paris and Havre.
To the left of the village is the Park of
Maisons Laffitte, and facing the park
is Sartrouville, while opposite lies the
forest of st. German in all its green
splendor. To the right is Heblay,
quite an important place, whose
church is visible for miles along the
Seine. La Frette itself has the quaint
est villagers possible. Many of them
speak worse French than those of the
Midi, and it is an event indeed when
one takes journey up to the capital
They are the thriftiest of the thrifty
Only a short time ago one of the peas
ants gave his daughter no less sum
than a quarter of million of francs
on her wedding day, and another is to
receive the same amount on her APP
preaching marriage And yet this
man, who must be worth four or five
millions of francs at least, lives in a
patched-up old house, and digs in the
fields from early morning till late at
night.

will have to conform to the same few
general rules.
Just now the angular figure is favored
by fashions in cloth skirts. High time
it was, surely, for the styles of the tight
ly ftted-hips period, one of considerable
length. too, were decidedly rough on
women whose natural figure wasn't at
least fairly good. Now the woman to
whom the tight skirt was thoroughly be-
coming needs look out sharp that the new
scheme which especially attracts her for
arranging fullness at the top Of her skirt
doesn't make her look thirty pounds
heavier than she really is. BY the same
token. women of a bit greater plumpness
will find much difficulty in choosing a
satisfactory model. While the pleatings,
shirrings. gatherings and so on exactly
what they lack, these arrangements
won't do at all for full hips. The latter
can be better suited by one of the many
stylish models of yoked skirts. A very
deep yoke usually will be preferable.
Skirt trimmings are much varied, both
as to mediums and manner of applica-
ton. Self-bandings and strappings are
standard for simple get-ups, and appear,
too, in more elaborate gowns, supple
mented by lace, passementerie or braid.
More dressy landings are of velvet or
silk, these usually accompanied by hand
some trimmings of other sorts. A great
deal 0f fancy braid will be used in trim
ming rough woolens, and wool lace is
stylish for them. Smooth cloths for
dress-ups are much elaborated. The
goods will stand complex treatment bet
ter than will the rough stuffs, and then
will carry off greater enrichment. So
what with lace landings and panellings,
free employment of embroidery and of
passementerie headings and like glitter,
your broadcloth winter dress-up may be
almost as elaborate as it vas last win
ter.
Sleeves are a feature that should have
close attention. With all that has been
said, you know, about changes in the
size or location of their puffs, very little
has been accomplished toward lessening
their elaborateness. Nor is their impor-
lance as a feature of the whole getup d.
minished in the least; if possible, it is
