PANAMA TREATY
FORTHCOMING.
VIII be seat to SENATE as soon as Re-
cIprocity Legislation Is Disposed of
cULLUM SURE OF RATIFICATION
1.-THE Time has Come When we Must Be-
gin to Dig a Canal seems to be the
Predominant Sentiment Among Repub-
Iicans.--.Hanna and Roosevelt Confer.

Washington AS soon as the Cuban
reciprocity legislation is disposed OF
in the Senate, President Roosevelt
will send to the Senate the new Pa
mama canal treaty. The treaty which
has been signed by the Panama junts,
will arrive here it is said about Dec.
10. ST have no doubt the treaty will
be ratified by the Senate in the regu-
lar session." said Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relation. "We will have to keep right
at it until it is disposed of. The time
has come when we have to begin dig
ging a canal" This is the universal
sentiment of Republicans in the Sc
nate, and of some Democrats as we'll.
When ratification has been effected
the Epresident will appoint a canal
commission to begin the work OF con-
straction. There is little doubt as to
the course that will be taken by the
Committee on Interocesnic Canals on
Senator Morgan's resolution, which
calls for a reopening of the question
of the desirability of the Panama and
the Nicaraguan routes, for the com-
mittse has no intention of any pro-
ceeding to cause delay in ratification.
The information desired by Senator
Morgan that can be secured promptly
will be had. but the making of further
surveys will not be seriously consider
ed. The majority of the committee
believe that all the information neces-
sary has been obtained.

this remedy in The household, but
everybody does not know that the im;ta-

should be understood by the public is, that
At IS not a mere question of comparative
value between "Vaseline'' and the imlta-

delay later bring exporters in as
large takers at factors prices remains
