rather hard on some Of Mr.. Bailey's
brother Democrats, like Champ Clark
and Bourke Cochran, who have in
feryid oratory again and again
avowed their detestation Of any and
all custom house restrictions or

English Government Cooperating
 With Colonies in Africa.
 London. April 27.--In the House of Com mons tonight, John. Rutherford. member for the Darwen division of Lancashire. moved that fin the opinion of this house 1t Is incumbent upon the government u encourage the growing of cotton in Af- rica and elsewhere in the British posses sions."
 Mir, Rutherford referred to the danger of Great Britain being dependent on sources of supply, and said he believed there was a great future for the cotton territory. He said he hoped the gov ernment would help the British colonies.
 MT. Lyttleton, secretary to the Colo nies, said he recognized that there was danger in the dependency of Lancashire solely on the United States for its supply of cotton. He said there was a vast field inside the British empire for the growing of cotton and that extensive ex- periments were being made in the British possessions with every prospect of sue cess. An arrangement had just been concluded between the Colonial office and the Cotton Growing Association whereby the latter agreed to provide sl5O.0o0 for the development of the industry in Lagos, southern NtSorIa anu olerra Leon, WHICH dependencies had contributed an addi- tional sum of $32, 800 The government. the secretary said, entertained the largest hopes of an immediate supply of cotton from West Africa and he. thought that the matter there would step from the ex- perimental to the commercial stage.
 Several members representing the cot ton industry expressed satisfaction with the statement of Secretary Lyttleton and Mr Rutherfords motion was adopted without division.

TRANSFER COMPLETED
DAY AND RUSSELL HAVE THE
 PANAMA PAPERS.
Paris Bankers Advance the SAG, ,ooo- 900 and Draft on the United States Treasury will be
 Honored.

Washington. April N.-The Attorney General has received cabiegrams from Messrs Day and Russell who went to Paris as his representatives to conduct the closing negotiations for the Panama canal property, to the effect that the deeds of the property, archives and all other papers and documents which will belong to the United States under the transfer have already been turned over to them and that the purchase price of s4cs0oo'eoe has been advanced to tae Canal Company by q Paris syndicate of bankers.
 This syndicate. it Is understood, offered to pay over the money with asview to expedlting the consummation of the sale on the assurance of the Attorney General that the draft on the United States for $40, GOO would be honored on presenta- ton at the Treasury at Washington.
 At the time the money was paid over to the Canal Company in Paris, Major Mark Brooke. of the engineer corps of the army, now in Colon, was authorized to formally receive the property on the Isthmus In the name of the United States. Whether this transfer has actually been made by the Republic of Panama, the Department of Justice has not yet been advised, but it is assumed lb VIII De ulauo Wittlln a uay or LWo.
 Messrs Day and Russell are expected to return to Washington within the next ten days and will bring with them the title deeds of the canal property.
 Though sympathising with the efforts of the European holders of Colombian bonds to induce the new State of Panama to assume some share of the foreign in- debtedness of Colombia, the State De- partment has made no move in that mat ter since the retirement from Washing ton of M. Bunau Verilla, the Panamaian minister. Before the minister left Wash ington. Secretary Hay took occasion to impress upon him the fact that c0hsidera- tions of equity should move Panama to an assumption of some part of the national debt, but the minister was not particularly impressed and no effort was made to bring pressure to bear upon the new government.
 The attempt to delay the. payment of the S1O. 100000 to Panama by the presenta- ton of old Colon fire claims probably will not receive the endorsement of the de- partment.

Concord. N H., April 27.-Aside from the introduction of personalities in de- bate by one or two delegates. the Den- ocratic State Convention, held here to- day to choose four delegates to the National Convention, passed without interruption. The exchange of personalities began when Delegate Samuel B. Page of Haverhill, questioned the purity of the politics of Delegate John T. Amey of Lancaster. MT. Amey repled In kind and was promptly told that his statement was a lie MT. Amey was quick with the declaration: You're another" but the affair did not proceed beyond an exchange of words.
 Six candidates were nominated for delegates-at-large. the question of se- lection resting on personal strength rather than any political issue.
 The platform adopted, which demand ed "tarlff revision and a halt in the march toward imperialism" left the question of a Presidential nominee to "the wisdom of the delegates" of the National Convention. It is understood that the delegates favor Judge Parker of New York.
 The First and Second Congressional District Conventions were held follow ing the State Convention and both se- Iected uninstructed delegates.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building.

Washington, April D.
 Notwithstanding President Roosevelts latest bid for the negro vote in the northern border States by insisting upon the confirmation of Dr. Crum, coIored as Collector of the Port of Charleston, that matter of paramount importance, as it is in the mind of the Republican can ddate for President will not be per mItted to block the precipitate retreat of the Republican majority in Congress from Washington
 MT Roosevelt has even threatened an extra sessicr to force his will. Despite his injunction, admonition or threat, the Republicans of the Senate will not stay Co save Dr. Crum, coIorcd. They fear a prolonged session costing the country some hundreds of thousands of dollars to thrust upon the white business men of a Southern seaport a negro officer holder against whom they have unitedIy made objection.
 The Republican Senators feel that it is asking too much They promise to take the matter up at the next session. If trey attempted to carry 1t to a conclus- ion now, they know that the absence of Senator Tillman would not abate the Democratic determination to resist with every possible resource this obnoxious nomination. The Democrats, purely as partisan would welcome any such issue as one extra session in the cause of pr. Crum. coIored. If President Roosevelt should appoint some worthy colored man to like responsible position In a Northern Republican seaport no Democrat would object unless the business community oh jected as the business community of Charleston has protested.

INvENTIoN oF BEaoAR.
May Result in Bringing Him
 Fortune.

New York, April 27--Members of the Charity Society here express the belief that Alexander Mckenzie. pro- fessional beggar, once an electrical en- gineer, has invented successful de- vice for the protection of the third rail on the elevated tracks. and will re- ceive the prize of s100.000 offered by the Interborough company for. the achievement.
 So sanguine are the members of the society of the success of McKenzie's invention that the matter has been placed in the hands of a patent s6lici- tor. and practical test of the device will be made as soon as the patent is perfected in washington.
 On the police records Mckenzie is classified with the harmless mendi- cants. usually cripples. who sit silent ly in the street or wherever crowds are passing and hold out their hats or tin box with mute appeal for aid. For several years Mckenzie has been a conspicuous figure on the platforms of elevated stations. He has but one leg. and always sat on the floor with his orutches lying in his lap and his hat stretched out for coins.
 For weeks at a time he would be seen every afternoon during the. rush hours at the stations along the sixth avenue line. and then some one would enter complaint and he would be arr rested and sent to the island. < There he was always welcome pris- oner. for his mechanical genius found great opportunity about the shops and buildings. During his various periods of confinement. he perfected the nAnd- els for protecting the third rail- and, distrustful of every person who at tempted to examine them. finally caiI- ed upon the charity organization for help. The officials at once took charge of the matter. They say Mckenzie was almost starved when he finally asked for aid.

 Chicago. April 27.-Although dispos- ing of an estate valued at only S7,o00, the will of pr. J. c. Hester Lyman, who died March 29th, Is the longest docu- ment filed in the history of the Cook County Probate Court.
 The instrument goes into minute de- tails. describing each article owned by the testator, its origin. its history and It's present whereabouts.

 Dr. Lyman was collector of souve- mfrs. and some of them are considered valuable.
 A Washington saucer. valued at Sl 900, is bequeathed to the Field Co., Iumbian museum, as is a Peruvian i'm age made in bronze.
