CANAL PASSES To
UNITED STATES
Forty Millions Advanced by
Paris Bankers to Pay
the Company

Washington, April 2S.-The attorney
general has received kilograms from
Messrs. Day and Russell, who went to
Paris as his representatives TO con-
duct the closing negotiations for the
Panama canal property to the effect
that the deeds of the prope. ty, ar
chives and all other papers aand doc
uments which will belong to the Unit
ed States under the t.ansfer, have
all eady been turned over to them and
that the purchase price of 10000. 900
has been advanced to the canal com.
pany by a Paris syndicate of bankers.
This synd cate, it is understood, Of
view to expediting the consummatiol,
of the sale on the assurance of the at
torney general that the d aft of the
syndicate of the United States for the
$40, ,000 900 would be honored on presen-
tation at the treasury in Washington.
AT the time the money was paid over
to the canal company in Paris, Major
Ma. kbroke of the engineering corps
of the army, now in Colon, was au-
thorized to formally receive the prop
e ty on the isthmus in the name of the
United States. Whether this transfer
has actually been made by the repub-
lie of Panama the department of JUS
tice has not yet been advised, but ii is
assumed that it will be made within "a
day or two. 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 sympathizing with the ef-
forts of the European holders of CO.
lombian bonds to induce the new state
of Panama to assume some share OF
the foreign Indebtedness of Colombia,
the state department has made no
move in that matter since the retire
ment from Washington of M. Bunau-
| Varilla, the Panama minister. BefoI e
| the minister left Washington Secre-
! tary Hay took occasion TO impress up
on him the fact that considerations of
equity should move Panama to an as
sumption of some part of the national
debt, but the minister was not particu-
| larly impressed and no effort was
4 made to bring pressure to bear upon
4 the new government. The attempt to
! delay the payment of the $40, 100000 To
Panama by the presentation of the old
\ Colon fire claims p obably will not re-
ceive the endorsement of the depart
ment.

st. Petersburg. April 2s. $50 p. m
The satisfaction of the people Of ST
Petersburg at the exploits of the Vlad-
i,cstok squadron Is tempered with-ad-
miration for the bravery of the Japan
csc soldiers who were on board the
sunken transport K;nshiu Maiu and
who preferred to drown rather than
surrender.
The admiralty admits that the men
acted heroically, but holds that Ad-
ppiral Yeszen had no other alternative
than to sink the transport. since he
could not spare a prize c. ew nor ham
per his swift squadron with a SLOW
steamer II is pointed out that the
officers or board the Kinshiu Mart
appreciated the situation by accept
ing Imprisonment rather than death.
In the case OF the smaller japanese
transpo Is and the torpedo boats al
wonsan, the crew were sent ashore
because there were no aceommoda-
tlons for them on the torpedo boats.
The crew of the Japanese steamer
Nakamura Maru. as well as the Japan
ese of the Kinshiu Maru who surren-
dered. have been taken to the Russian
cruisers.
The admiralty here profess ignorance
as to the future plans of Admiral Yes

nication with Vladivostok by wireless

WITH THE BEEKEEPERS.

Strong colonies protect themselves
against robbers and bee-moths
In rendering beeswax. use tin. brass
or copper vessel. An iron one will
darken it.
In making candy to feed bees be
careful not TO burn it, Burnt candy
will kill them.
In France, according to government
figures, for the ten years ending with
1901, the average number OF colonies
was 1908, 412; honey per colony 10
pounds, II ounces; wax per colony
three pounds
Rainwater is the right thing to use
in melting wax. Well water, especially
that where yellow clay or red sand
abounds in the soil, contains iron. and
this browns the wax. no matter how
carefully the melting be done.
DR.. c. c. Miller says in Clean
ings that heretofore the largest yield
he ever got from one colony was 1872
sections, but last year he got 800 Sec
tons from one colony, with a number
of other colonies yielding nearly as
well. He credits these large Yields 10
the selection of the hest stores to breed
from, and to the phenomenal flow of
white clover, which the bees stored I'M

Feed and Color of Meat

The appearance of the feed on the
color and appearance of poultry meat
is of sufficient importance to REQUIRE
careful attention. If the market de-
mands a noticeably white meat and
skin in its dressed poultry, the cheap
est and surest way to attain this is 20
use much skim-milk in the diet. The
grain ration should be mixed with it..
and the drinking vessels constantly
provided with fresh supply. 1t Will
require extra good care to keep the
fowls healthy Oh this diet, however.
If yellowish tinge is desired, it may
be obtained by feeding a grain ration
TO which ten per cent. of animal meat
has been added, and the whole mixed
with water. A grain mixture wet with
whey will also give good results.-Prai-
