TITLE TO CANAL.

1t is announced in Paris that the con-
tract by which the ownership of the Pan
anna canal passes to the United States
is signed, sealed, delivered and complete
The title to the canal route is now
vested in the government of the United
States. The document by which this
transaction is consummated bears the
signature of President 30 and Director
Richman, of the Panama Canal Com
pany, who signed for the company as its
responsible officials. The transfer is
complete and without reservation and
the United States secures perfect title.
This result has been accomplished quiet
ly and most Unexpectedly, as the public
had been given to understand that the
contract would not be executed until
after the meeting of the stockholders of
the Panama Canal Company today, at
which the question of ratification would
be presented. As a matter of fact, how
ever, when the meeting takes place to.
day President Bo will announce that the
sale has been completed, and instead of
asking for authority to execute future
contract, it will only remain to ratiiy
the contract of sale which the officers
of the company have already formally
completed.
Only few of the highest officers of
the company are now aware of the Sc
cret, which will not be known except
by this announcement in the United
States up to the time of the meeting.
1t is confidently believed that the COM
pletion of the sale before the meeting
will increase the vote for ratification, as
it will be recognized that nothing more
remains but to acquiesce in the action
taken by the highest officers of the COM
pany.
A resolution ratifying the sale of the
canal to the United States was passed
at a meeting of the French Panama
Canal Company, today.

A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels be-
come deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets. For sale by Richard
Gibson.

THE PRESIDENT, it is said, has re-
fused to further interfere in the case OF
the illegal fencing on public lands, and
the cattlemen now say that they will
fight the case no further. This is very
generous on the part of the cattlemen, Of
course but it will be remembered that
the President, after sending Col. Mosby
to Nebraska to protect the public lands
against these same cattlemen, recalled him
on the demand of Senator DIETRICH, be-
cause he was actually performing his
duty. But the Senator is now under a
cloud and will not be reelected.

so at once.

Mr.. GRosvENOR was justly held up
to ridicule in the House yesterday by
Mr.. Kitchin, who stated exactly what
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Grosvenor had
said and written of each other when the
former was candidate for Vice President
four years ago. Mr.. Grosvenor has a
hide like a rhinoceros, but he WINGED
under the scorching sarcasm OF MI
Kitchin and made a lame explanation
by saying that he and Mr.. Roosevelt had
said and written of each other four years
ago what they had a right to say and
write at that time, and that Mr.. Kitchen
was only threshing over old straw. Mr.
Grosvenor is now a cuckoo of cuckooS.

Childs and Heisman would have divid-

Jacksonville has released Mephisto
Nichols. Alb Powell said he wouldn't

afraid he would spike himself in the
chin.
Ashenback says he has signed Pitch
ers Triton and Rosson. Rosson is a
mute, formerly playing with Nashville.
Macon made a whirlwind finish
against Jacksonville. Those at the
park who saw the first four innings
posted thought it was a cinch for the
Jays to win.
Johnny Wesh has been released by
Columbia. He has returned to his
