cIlssion a protraCted meeting Of the Committee
Foreign Relations to-day. at which Chandler
Anderson. Of New York the attorney who acted
practically as secretary 10 Secretary Root in IT,
negotiations preceding the signing Of the conven-
ton appeared So ably did Mr. Anderson handle
the subject that members OF the committee were
led TO believe that only zone amendment would be
essential the atihcatinn of the convention This
amendment would modify the provision that the
boundary waters shall be polluted by sewage OF
other matter so eUdanger health ~
Secretary Root when ne discussed the convention
with the committee. pointed out that this did not
prohibit ali pollution, and that it would be as much
to the interest of the United states as to that OF
Canada to prevent pollution 10 a point which would
endanger health. 1t is urged by many Senators,
howeI that most of the boundary waters the
large cities the American side and that the
provision Will lead to disputes Lake Champlstn
cited at the meeting an example Of a body
of water already used extensively to carry away
sewage. and which. under the treaty, would become
a subject of contention.
As told in these disps tches this morning Senator'S
Smith Of Michigan; Heyburn. Of Idaho. and Nell
SON. of Minnesota. had fled briefs Of their objec-
tione to the convention with the chairman of the
committee. and Mr.. Anderson proceeded to deal
with them seriatim.
Before the committee adjourned Mr.. Anderson
promised TO prepare briefs answering all the objec-
tious presented An attempt will be made to ratffy
the treaty a soon as these briefs received and
digested. presumably Wednesday or Thursday,
and if that is not successful the convention will
probably go over until the special session
The British Ambassador has caused It to be
known that any amendment will defeat the conven-
ton Mr. Anderson expressed the belief. neverthe-
less that Mr.. Bryce would be able to persuade
Canada agree to the slight change demanded
with regard TO the pollution of boundary waters

start along the railway track be.

few plants this siie OF I.ostine. The
railway company and all road super
Visors near the railway should be
compelled TO keep the way cleaned
on this obnoxious pest, the worst
with which farmers have to contend.
The plants sho nd be cut down
green, If possible. but when cut ripe
or dried Should be gathered in piles
and burned. One branch contains
thousands of the minute seed and
as the plant is light, easily carried
by the lightest wind. one little
branch may seed big field. They
are considered the worst or all plant
pests in Dakota and Minnesota.
where Mr.. Gollnick formerly resided
and the most rigorous measures are
taken to eradicae them.
The seed has been carried here in
freight cars as the plant was un.
known in this county before the ad-
vent of the raj road and this first
year has grown only along the right
OF way. A branch OF the thistle is
in this office for anyone to see who
does not know the weed at sight.
