The treaty between the United States and Colombia for the construc tion of the Panama canal uy the Uni ted States was signed in Washington Thursday. .It had been intended not to make the signature of the canal public until Friday,'but the news apparently was too good for some of the friends of the canal to keep after the long delay ana suspense, and It leaked out at the pres ident’s official reception-. Fears had been .entertained until within the last few days that Colombia, would not be willing to accede to the wishes of the 1 United States in the matter aixd. that recourse to the Nicaraguan banal pro ject might be forced on the United States. \' 1 The principal obstacle to-.the con clusion of the -treaty, it is said, has been the price that the United States was to pay in the shape of a cash pay ment and by way of annual rental' for the strip of territory along each side of the canal right of way. Some; 'time ago there was a . hitch oVer the question of the extent .tie which control by the United Stated over this strip of land should go, Co lombia objecting on the ground that (he provision requested jn the treaty by the United States would mein a re- ‘linquishment of sovereignty ^ Colom bia over part of her territory, but this matter was amicably adjusted, as was a difference as to the lifetime o,. tne lease of the strip ~6f land in question, the final result-being a•'pjactlcal ces sion in perpetuity of the sftijp to United States for canal ;pi &«***' '^ ay’s htfuse.^TKWiiWay lifter- Mr. Hay acting for the United States, and Dr. Herran, the charge d'affaires of Colbmbla, who has been specially given full powers to nego tiate the treaty,-signing iii behalf of Colombia, The treaty will haVe to go to. the'senate for ratification. It- !'s said that details of the agreement will not be made public in advance of the transmission.

A Berlin dispatch says: During the budget debate in the relchstag Thurs day, Herr Bebfel, socialist, ascribed the empire’s deficits to the enormous expenditures for the army and navy and to the “futile efforts to rlny the first role In the world,” which Ger many was unable tp do. Theq ment, he continued, was afllie the “malady of suddenness.*' feated its own aims. The ' the GUILTY OF TREASON. Colonel Lynch, of. Boer Army, Coi\victed In London Court and Oiven Death Sentence. When the trial bf Col. Arthur Lynch, member ,of,.parliament for Galway, on the charge of high treason, was resum ed in London, Friday, counsel for the defense began summing up. There was no' attempt to deny that Colonel Lynch supported the Boers, but counsel contended that hta natural ization was in no way treasonable In tent, and was solely for the advantage ho would thus secure for Journalistic purposes. . Subsequently, the defendant actively supported the Boer cause'in the be lief that he was a legally naturalized burgher. Replying for the prosecution, the so licitor general, Sir Edward Carson, maintained that Colonel Lynch joined the Boer army as a discontented Irish man, “thereby committing a most cowardly and most serious act of trea son.” “His naturalization,” continued the solicitor general, “was only a flimsy pretext.” Counsel then proceeded to detail' the prisoner’s alleged acts of adherence to his country’s enemies. The 'Lord chief Justice summed up very briefly. He said that if in war time a British subject joined the king's enemies, whatever his purpose, He was guijty of an unlawful act. Naturaliza tion during war time .afforded no ex cuse whatever for subsequent acts. Thera,^as abundant evidence, he said, of overt acts in aiding the king’s ene mies' ■ The,Jury, after havinebeen out half returned a verfiftt of guilty. t you. I will say nothing.' The sentence of death was passed on each of the four coiintB in the indict ment. ' „The prisoner then bowed to the court and was removed in custody. Although formally sentenced to be ' hanged,- Lynch’s sentence will no doubt be commuted. - Ip the quaint Wording of the Eng lish indictment, the charge against Caionel Lynch was as follows: \ ‘ That the prisoner, not naving the • fear of Gojl lp his heart, was seduced by the devil, and did take up arms against Queen Victoria.” The punishment Is described in the following paragraph: “That the condemned shall be taken to the place of execution and there bo dohe to death after the manner pro vided.’-*' FORT STARTED TROUBLE So lo CLOSE WJMTE HOUSE DOORS.

Commodore Scheder, commander of the German fleet in Venezuelan waters, officially.' reports tc Berlin the bom bardment pf Fort Caj-los iiom Maracal- bp under date of January 21, as fol lows: , * “On.the 1 17th Instpht, while the Pan ther was • pkBSlng the Mai-acaibo baK* sbe. was unexpectedly attacked by Fort San Carlos, which opened a heavy fire on her. To this the Panther re plied and a cannonade was exchanged for half an hour. Owing to the diffi culties of navigation the Panther'then desisted. "In order to exact an immediate pun ishment for this attack, the morevso as the Venezuelan government had pro claimed it a victory, I bombarded the tort with the Vlneta on the 21st in stant and destroyed it.” Experiments are being made in France, where good roads are univer sal,.'to improve them by sprinkling the surface with tar. Distribution is made by means of a tank which is heated by a traveling furnace and which Is operated in the same manner as an ordinary sprinkling cart. As the tar. begins to cool, fine sand is sprin- bled over it. Not only Is a smooth. Surface secured, but dust is done away with. It does not appear that hot weather affects it or that rain washes it away. The idea will 'probably be generally adopted if it is proved prac tical ‘after extended tests. A WEAK UNDERSTANDING. “I don’t understand,” remarked Miss Prettyglrl, “how you men can go around in the'woods'and fields shoot ing down poor little innocent birds and animals." “Weally, weally,” replied Mr. Wille- boy, earnestly, “I don’t-either; but I have a fellah who has pwomlsed to show me how to do it this week, don’t you know!”—Cincinnati Commercial- Tribune. HARD ON THE VEGETABLES. “No,” said the housekeeper, angrUy, "I don’t want any more of your vege tables. They’re just about as worthless as I’ve come to believe you to be.” “Oh, don’t say that about ’em, ma’am,’* protested the huckster. “Don't say that about ’em.”—Philadel phia Press. WHY? •.
