THE OFFER TO
NEGOTIATE, WAS
NEVER MADE
Concerning the Possession of
Fashoda.
DISPELS IDEA
OF NEGOTIATIONS
Principal Fact Brought Out By the New
est British Blue Book French
Papers Hopeful of a Peaceable So
lution of the Dispute.
London-, Oct. 25. A.11 interest today
is centered in the Marquis of Sallisbury'6
addition to the Fashoda correspondence
contained in the new British blue book
on that subject.
Conservative newepapers express
themselves as being highly pleased with
this rejoinder to the French yellow book
on the same subject. They declare it
dispels the idea spread by the dispatch
of the French ambassador here, Baron
de Courcer, that the preinierVas willing
to negotiate on the whole question. But
liberal and radical organs still consider
the Marquis of Salisbury's attitude ad
mits the idea of negotiations promising
friendly arrangements. The entire
press, however, ecouts the idea of the
possession of Fashoda coming within
the sphere of negotiations.
The French papers today are more
hopeful, and believe a pacific solution of
the dispute will be found.
The English papers are full of particu
lars of naval news, but the only fresh
developments is an order received at
Portsmouth to prenare all ships of -the
fleet and reserve for immediate mobili
zation. Eight additional warships there
in consequence commenced coaling this
morning, and working parties were im
mediately placed on board the other re
serve vessels at Portsmouth.
Although not connected with war
preparations, much attention has been
attracted to the request received by
the Clyde shipbuilders from the admi
ralty for tenders for four new first-class
battleships, one first-class cruiser and
twelve torpedoboat destroyers.
Halifax, N. S., Oct. 85. The British
wardhips Pallas and Talbot arrnved to
day from Bermuda. General Lord Wil
liam Seymour, commander of the troops
in British North America, will return
from Ottawa, his visit having been cut
short by unusual activity in naval and
military circles at this station.

of the Steamship Company, who arrived

accordance with the grant to the old
Nicaragua Canal Association, which was
transferred to the Maritime Canal Com
pany, has been completed, and that near
ly all the civil engineers were returning

Mr. Wickman was surprised to learn
that the committee appointed by Presi
dent Zelaya to render an opinion as to
the date the concession to construct a
canal across Nicaragua expires had de
cided that the grant held by the Mari
time Canal Company holds good nntil
October 20, 1899.
"It remains to be seen what action
congress will take in the matter when
the report of Admiral Walker's com
mittee and the Morgan bill comes to us,"

SUPREME COURT
DECIDES THUS
Extension of the Grand Trunk Line
Combine Declared Unlawful One
of the Most Important Cases Ever
Tried.
Washixg ton, Oct. 25. The United
States supreme court yerterday decided
the Joint Traffic Association railroad
case in favor of the United States and
against the railroads.
The case was ' considered one of the
most important that has ever come be
fore the supreme court, not only to the
railroads, but to the general public, be
cause of the vast railroad properties rep
resented by the traffic association. The
association was formed November 19,
1895, by thirty-one railways, represent
ing the great trunk lines. The purpose
of the association, as stated in the agree
ment, was to establish 'and maintain
reasonable and just rates, fares and reg
lations of state and interstate traffic. A
similar association on a smaller scale
was formed among the Southwestern
'railroads, and known as the Trans-Missouri
Association, and the supreme court,
in a notable opinion, declared that this
association was illegal.
Justice Peckham announced the deci
sion today in the joint traffic case. He
Baid the court could distinguish no dif
ference between this and the trans-Missouri
case decided a year ago. He said
the only new point involved was as to
the constitutionality of the anti-trust
act. The court had reached the conclu
sion that as the railroad corporations
performed a duty of semi-public char
acter, it was within the constitutional
power of congress to regulate them as
provided by the anti-trust act.
Railroad officials were unwilling to
talk for publication about the decision,
saying that they could not discuss the
matter wtth full understanding of all its
bearings until they had had an oppor
tunity to read the text of the supreme
court's decision, and James Carter, who
will be ex-Minister, Edward P. Phelps
and ex-Senator Eimonds argned the
cause of the Joint Traffic Association be
fore that tribunal, also declined to say
anything in advance of a careful study
of the opinion, the copy of which he ex
pects to receive within a day or so. It
is generally thought, however, that the
dissolution of all the other existing rail
way associations of the country, as well
as the Joint Traffic Association, is inev
itable. The existence of these bodies
has not had the effect of putting
a stop to ratecutting, and some railroad
men are inclined to think that the com
panies will get along fairly well by in
stituting again the system of "gentle'
men's agreements" as a substitute for
the associations. Others declare that it
will be absolutely necessary for the wel
fare of the roads for congress to enact
new legislation.
Valdace F. Walker, chairman of the
board of directors of the Atchison road
said: " '
"This decision makes action by con
gress imperative.as the railroad business
connot be conducted in conformity with
the anti-trust statute as construed by
the supreme court."

"MOTTO". HANGINGS.
One of the Latest Fancies Among
Xeedle Workers in a. Pret'a
t y Ornament.
. The "motto" hanging curtain or por
tiere is the latest fancy among1 the
guild of needle workers. To make it
the woman who knows her business
procures a number of lengths of two
inch ribbon in her favorite colors, or
varying shades thereof, and upon these
ribbons she induces her friends to in
scribe their autographs, together with
the date of inditing, the motto or
watch ward which is supposed to rule
and dominate their life and character,
and any other fragments of similar
nature liked.
The lettering is done in sepia, oil
colors, cplored or even black ink, ac
cording to taste. Sepia looks especial
ly well upon yellow, golden brown or
certain shades of green; black ink is
striking upon scarlet or blue; purple
writing fluid is lovely upon lavender
or other pansy tones. If the maker
of the portiere is doubtful concerning
the ability of her friends to do the let
tering artistically she merely asks
them to writa upon slips of white pa
per, and herself copies the legends
thus obtained upon the ribbons. In
rare cases i'.-a names are embroidered
instead of written.
When ready for making up the rib
bons varying from six to ten feet in
length are attached to and sus
pended from a wider ribbon, as long
as the portiere is to be wide, and upon
which is emblazoned' the name, motto
and other particulars concerning the
fair owner. Fringed, scalloped or
pointed ends of similar or jsame
ribbon, a line of painting or em
broidef, may serve to conceal the
method of joining. Once attached the
loose ends of ribbon are arranged ac
cording to the location of the motto.
If this is near the top or bottom of tjje
ribbon the portiere is connected mid
way; if passing along most of the
length the wavirg ribbons are allowed
to hang free." "Eaihbow" portieres of
this order are much liked.
A glorious bit of color and a delight
ful souvenir hanging is the result, how
ever they are fastened. "Purple and
gold and the glory therefor" are as
nothing compared to the color scheme
and beauty of a really well made and
artistically arranged "motto por
tiere." Chicago Times-Herald.
A Wise Mother.
"I fear George is untrue to me!" she
moaned as her tortured- head fell upon
her mother's waiting bosom: "In his
dreams last night he said: I have two
little queens!" Oh, if I just knew who
the other one is I'd scratch her eyes
out!" But her dear mother had been
married longer and was wiser than
she, and quickly sent the sunshine of a
smile scintillating through her tears
with the explanation that some bold,
bad man must have lured her darling
George into a little game of draw, and
given it to him in the wishbone in such
a cruel manner that he was worrying
about it even in his sleep. Denver
