Washington, Feb. 27.-President
Roosevelt to-day signed the prOclama-
ton putting into effect the treaty with
Panama regarding the isthmian canal
AS soon as the proclamation was signed
it. was returned to the State Depart
ment, where the exchange of ratifica-
tions had taken place between Secre-
tary of State Hay and Minister Bu-
neau-Varilla of Panama.
The Cabinet was in session when the
proclamation reached the White House
from the State Department. Secretary
Loeb took the document to the Presi-
dent, and he signed it Immediately. The
President may not send to the Senate
hts appointments on the isthmian canal
commission before the first of next
week. He has been informed by tele-
graph that Jenjamin M. Harrod of New
Orleans has mailed to him statement
regarding the charges preferred against
Mr.. Harrod. Until he has received the
statement and given it consideration,
the probability is that the official an
nOuncement of the personnel Of the
commission will be withheld.
The exchange marks the close of dip
lomatic negotiations looking to the ac-
quirement by the United States of canal
rights on the isthmus, running back to
the first quarter of the last century
What remains to be done now is moth
ing more than the adjustment of GER
tain legal questions by the law officers
of this government, the State Depart
ment having filled its functions.
The legal questions remaining to be
settled are the pending litigation in
France concerning the canal, and the
question whether under the terms of
the Spooner act the $10.000.000 which
was to be paid to Colombia can now be
paid to Panama.
1t will be some time before these
questions can be settled, and mean
while no money is likely to pass. The
proclamation is as follows:

"A Proclamation:
Whereas, a convention between the
United States of America and the re-
public of Panama to insure the con-
struction of ship canal across the

AT ROCHESTER

more than 100000. The Sibley,

and furnishings. It is said that $500
persons were thrown out Of work by
the fire.

side of Main street, between st. Paul
street and Clinton avenue. north, run
ming from st. Paul street almost the
entire length of the block.
The fire started in the store Of the
Rochester Dry Goods Company and
worked west, burning only one store
east Of this establishment, that OF the
Walkover Shoe Company. before its
progress was checked in that direc-
ton.
Next was the store of the Beadle-
Sherburne Company, which was de-
stroyed.
Then the Marble block, occupied by
. the Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Company.
was destroyed and finally the thirteen
story Granite building. the lower part
of which was also occupied by the Sib-
ley, Lindsay & Curr Company, and the

and a livery stable on Division street,
a narrow thoroughfare running in the
rear OF the burned stores, and these
were damaged by water and falling
walls.
No one was injured except Assistant

by a flying nozzle.
The power on the trolley line run
ming along along Main street was cut
off to avoid danger from electricity.
and no cars have run through the
block where the fire occurred all day.

probably will not be resumed until
Monday.

building, $4,000; Cornwell building
$50, 900; Kirley building. $4,000; Sib-

New Cure for Dyspepsia.

The latest in the line of reliable
"cures" is a remedy for dyspepsia.
This cure consists Of walking about
on all fours twenty minutes at time,
and four times a day. There couldn't
be remedy simpler than that, and
then 1t is one that everybody always
has in the house-though 1t has been
suggested that patients should not
take 1t in public. 1t is perfectly inno-
cent and harmless, but still people will
talk, you know. The theory seems to
be that the man who walks like
bear will soon develop an appetite and
digestive apparatus like a bear-and
that's Just as sound as many other
theories.-Albuquerqu Journal.
