NEW CANAL TREATY SIGNED
Convention Between the United States
and Panama.

Washington. Nov 20.-The new
canal treaty between the United States
and the new republic of Panama has
been signed by Secretary Hay and
Minister Bunau-Varilla
II consists of between twenty-five
and twenty-five articles, but the main
points of the convention are contained
in the first six articles.
Panama cedes to the United States
whatever land or lands throughout
tho republic of Panama this govern
ment shall find desirable in connec-
ton with the building or operation and
maintenance of the canal.
In addition the treaty gives to the
United States absolute sovereignty
over the canal strip, which, it is under
stood comprises between eight and
ten miles on each side of the canal.
Within this zone the power of the
United States is as absolute as if the
scene were part and parcel of this
country.
n general it may be said that while

the new treaty contains many or tne
provisions of the failed Hay-Herran
treaty it is not based on that conven-
ton. but follows not only the spirit
but the letter of the Spooner act. Thus
instead of the lease for fixed period
of the canal strip this new treaty pro
vides for a perpetual grant of the
right of way to the United States. and
instead of a complicated provision for
courts of mixed composition.- half
American and half Colombian-to ad-
minister justice over the canal strip.
the new treaty permits this govern
ment to exercise the most complete
jurisdiction thereupon.
Permission is also given the United
States to fortify the line and the ter
minals and it may police it with
troops.

Italian Siashed to Pieces on the Streets
of Minneapolis.

Minneapolis. Nov 2O.-With twenty
one gaping stiletto wounds all over
his body Salvador Battalia. an Italian.
was found lying in pool of blood on
the Franklin avenue bridge shortly
after midnight.
That robbery was not the motive Is
clearly evident as $65 was found on
the dead mans person untouched. The
instigation of the Malta Is suggested
by the authorities as a possible ac-
counting for the murder
Battalia had a revolver in his hip
pocket. but evidently had been ap-
preached from behind and struck in
the back before he could draw upon
his assailants. He had done his best
to ward of the blows for his hands
were sliced to ribbons.
The blood trails on the bridge prove
that the man made desperate resist
ance and fought the murderers over a
large area of the central portion Of
the bridge.

MURDERER IS
 SENTIMENTAL
 Is- First Sl9f His Father-in-
 $ law. KISSr Z WIFE GOODBYE Gives Her Two Dollars for Baby's Christening. William Hoffman Not Satisfied With His Allowance and to Show Daspleasure Kills His spou-
 ses Parent

St. Louis. Mo-, Sept 10,-A special to The Dispatch from Waterloo. H., says:
 William Hoffman. a young farm em- ploye, living near Mayestown. H.. called his father-in-law, Dr. William Brandt. to the door of his house last night and shot him to death.
 Then he rode back to his home, told his wife that he had killed the old hound, her father" gave her R, which he said he wanted her to spend on the christening of their 4-weeks-old daugh- ter Mary, kissed her and their four chill dren and rode into the woods.
 There are two men I must kill before I kill myself" he said to his wife before leaving.
 Reward is Offered.
 The family of Dr. Brandt offers re- ward of $500 for Hoffman's capture. Sher- if Thomas Ruch and a large posse are searching for him and expect at any time to have pitched battle with him. He Is armed with shotgun and revolv- CTS. Just before killing his father-in- law, he purchased fifty rounds of car tridges.
 Hoffman is a good marksman, and the officers believe he was driven to wreck Iessness by whiskey and his imaginary troubles. Before he murdered Brandt he told Herman Tapes: 'In one hour there will be a warrant out for me. But look out will shoot you or Tom Ruch or any. body else who tries to arrest me-"
 Will Kill Two More.
 Hoffman's wife says that as he left he declared, "I must kill two more people. then myself. If the sheriff or his depu- ties tries to arrest me, I must also kill them"
 Sheriff Ruch thinks Hoffman is hiding in the woods near his home at Rock Cliffs. He and his deputies are armed and ready to shoot the fugitive at sight. This entire section of Monroe County Is excited, as the fugitive Is regarded as desperate. ia. | It Is supposed sthzt Honman's motive for killing his father-in-law, was that the old gentleman refused to increase his weekly allowance.

 ''The employees and officials resumed their sessions this morning." he said. and will continue the grievances as pre- sented last week. Not one of them is con- sidered important in the general sense of the word. They refer almost exclusively to minor division matters and there will be no difficulty in arriving at an amicabIe settlement"

FOWLER BILL READY.
Congressman Goes to Chicago to Con-
 fer With Bankers.

Ter With Bankers.
 Chicago. Sept. 10-Congressman Charles N. Fowler. chairman of the House Con- mittee on Banking and Currency. is in Chicago to confer with bankers on the details of the financial bill he is to in- troduce at the extra session of Congress MT. Fowler's proposed bill provides for retirement of the greenbacks or for their ''impounding'' through a stipulation that the banks be compelled to hold 70 per cent. of their cash reserves in Unit ed States notes.
 The second feature is for the disposinG of all public money in banks, the govern. ment to get per cent. interest and be secured by first lien on bank assets, the relationship between the government and the banks thus resembling the pres ent relationship of States and municipal- fties to the banks where they keep their money on deposit. Deposits are not to be larger than 50 per cent of the paid up capital of the banks receiving them.
 The third feature of the bill will be provision for ''asset'' or ''credit' cur rency. National banks will be permitted to put out such currency by depositinR in the United States Treasury gold coin or government bonds equal to per cent. of the amount so put out. This per cent. together with the per cent inter- est on government bonds equal to per cent. of the amount SO put out. This s per cent. together with the per cent. interest on government deposits. and l per cent. tax on the notes thus issued. would constitute a ''guarantte fund '' When this guarantee fund amounts to $1o.ooo.000 the excess over this amount will be utilized in purchasing gold bull lion for converting the greenbacks into gold certificates.
