GREAT BRITAIN AND
NICARAGUAN CANAL
First Recent Official News In
Relation Thereto.
OLD TREATY ABROGATED
Lord Pauucefote Brings With Him the
Draft ef New Document Which, it
I* Said, It In Every Way Satisfactory
to Lord Salisbury’s Cabinet.
London, Nov. 8.—The first official
statement of any kind made for a
month in relation to the Nicaragua ca¬
nal has been obtained by the Associated
Press. It confirms the fact that Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador to
the United States, when he lands iu
New York today will have with him a
draft of a new treaty, abrogating the
Clayton-Bnlwer treaty, which is ln
every Salisbury’s particular satisfactory to Lord
cabinet.
Slnoe a representative of the Asso¬
ciated Press interviewed Lord Pauuce¬
fote in London not one word officially
antborized has been given oat here with
reference to the canal.
Negotiations Unuflfolal.
The editorials which have appeared m
England have been based entirely upon
dispatches from the United States. This
is explained by the rather astonishing
announcement that all negotiations up
to the present day have been entirely
unofficial from a strictly diplomatic
point of view, aud that on pour parleura
only depend the hopes generally shared
for a successful bridging over the dip¬
lomatic difficulty. These pour parlenrs,
however, have been particularly search-
lug.
The state department does not require
to see a copy of the important document
Lord Pauncefote carries in order to
learn its terms, though, officially, the
negotiations will only commence when
the ambassador reaches Washington.
Until that time the exact conditions of
the new convention are withheld.
Though it is admitted that Oreat
Britain has agreed to put the -Olayton-
Bulwer treaty to one side and to ac¬
quiesce in the construction of the canal
by and under the control of the United
States, thin concession from Lord Lans-
dowue’s original contention has not
been granted without some real or fan¬
cied advantage to Great Britain. It
would not be fair to say that a quid pro
quo constituted the main feature of the
protracted pour parleurs, but that it
will directly or Indirectly result, is
firmly established in the minds of the
members of the cabinet. One of the
most responsible officials connected with
these and the earlier negotiations said:
Chief Reason For Opposition.
"We’never really objected to the con¬
struction of the canal, but we did and
do object to a cavalier abrogation of the
Clay ton-Bulwer treaty. It was in that
spirit that Lord Lapsdowne couched his
reply to tb9 United States senate's re¬
jection of the last Hay-Panncefote
treaty. It was not what you wanted to
do, but the xasty way you said if, that
was the chief reason for our opposition.
Since then we have been approached in
a rational, polite manner and we have
again endeavored to snbstitnte for the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty a treaty that will
enable America to carry ont a design
which, in a broad sense, will doubtless
benefit the whole world.”
The mollification of the foreign office
has doubtless done more than anything
else to secure the assent of the British
government to a new treaty. Bat in
almost the same breath must be men¬
tioned the state department's willing¬
ness to agree to a reciprocal arrange¬
ment regarding the British West Indies
and other British possessions. This,
while in line with the views latterly at¬
tributed by speoial McKinley cable and dispatches President to
President
Roosevelt, was so at variaqce with the
British general's experience of the
American attitude that they now regard
it in the light of a quid pro quo for
what they believe to be a concession
over the Nicaraguan proposal,

Danny Maher Has That Honor—His
I 1 Salary $35,000.
I New York, Not, i—According to
the Newmarket, England, correspond¬
ent of The World, Danny Maher, the
little American jockey, is now the pre¬
> mier rider of the world. He has been
engaged to ride the horses in charge of
| Trainers T. Blackwell and Richard
Marsh at the combined salary of 235.000
for the next season—the highest amount
ever paid any jockey in the word for a
year’s work in the saddle. King
Marsh trains for Edward VIL
The engagement of Maher as jockey is
regarded as a tactful way of expressing
the king’s opinion that he is not preju¬
diced against American riders.
Maher spoke to The World represent-
ative on the subject of his engagement
to ride King Edward’s horses as follows:
“My first engagement next s-asoa is
for the Blackwells' stable and Richard
Marsh is to have second call on my ser¬
vices. Mr. Marsh trains for King Ed-
ward and my retainer, of course, in¬
cludes riding the kingly horses.

season I hav* ever had. I have ridden

to these old sores and ulcers. J. B. TALBERT, Winona, Hiss.
Washes, salves, nor anything else applied directly to the sore can do any permanent good;
neither does the use of the knife or flesh destroying plaster cure, for local causes have nothing
to do with these germ-breeding plague spots. You might cut out every particle of the diseased
flesh and scrape the bone, but another sore would come. The germs or poison in the blood must
be destroyed, the stream of sluggish, polluted blood purified and made-strong before the heal-
mg process begins and the sore or ulcer can get well. S. S. S. is thejonly remedy known that
can and does accomplish this. It cleanses and purifies the circulation, and when new, rich blood
is carried through the little veins and arteries to the sore, it bripgs about a healthy healing
around the edges, and a permanent and thorough cure is soon effected. S. S. S. not only
expels all impurities, but works a complete and radical
cl tange in the entire system by stimulating inactive organs,
toning digestion up the nerves, increasing the appetite, and aiding
the and assimilation of food, thus building up the
weak and wasted coustitution. S. S. S. is strictly and
entirely a vegetable medicine, and no bad effects follow
~ - its use, and for this reason it is better than Mercury and
Potash or other minerals, which uot only ruin the stomach, but often produce most stubborn
and offensive sores themselves.
