THE CANAL
RIGHT OF WAY
Secretary Hay Signs a Treaty With
Nicaragua Necessary Privileges
('runted.
U'asiiinotok, Dec. 1 , Secretary liny
tli !h morning, (or tho government of the
I'liited States, and SenorCorca, tin; Nie
iinignan minister, (or Iiih own govern
ment, signed u treaty whereby tin: latter
government concedes to the government
of tlie United States tlio necessary right
and privileges will in her bestowal for
tint construction of the Nicaragua canal.
This action iH taken in anticipation of
congressional action upon tin pending
Nicaragua canal bill and the Hay
I'liunecfote treaty. I;t idititr the (tubulin
aim of the treaty to the senate, which
body iniiHt ratify the agreement, its
terms will not bu made public. It in
linderHtood, however, t lint generally
Nicaragua grants to the lTniteil States
government the exclusive right to con
struct and operate a canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific across Nicaragua,
including tlie free use ol the San .luun
river and of Lake Nicaragua, as part of
the water course. Nicaragua is also to
rid herself of any outstanding treaties
that would tend in any way to abridge
tliu privileges to bo ucquired by the
I'liited States. It is understood ulso
that Nicaragua eoncedeu to the United
States full authority to police the canal.
Nicaragua is to receive iu compensation
a certain amount of tlie securities of the
canal, and although it is not possible
now to learn the figure set down in tlie
treaty, it is believed to approximate $50.
0(10,000.
The state depuituient already has en
tered into an arrangement on similar
terms with the republic of Costa Rica.
This was because Costa Rica bus estab
lished a claim to the right bank of the
San Juan river, which mudt, of neet.'f
sity, form about a third of tlie length ( f
the canal, should the Nicaragua route
lie selected and be constructed on the
lines which will be suggested by the
Walker commission.
An understanding also has been ar
rived at with the United Slates of
Columbia recovering the same rights,
and privileges for the Panama route as
nre conveyed by the Nicaragua and
Costa Rica iu the case of the Nicaragua
route. So the state department lias
cleared the way for such nction as con
gress may care to take in the caeeof
either of the canal routes which has been
found feasible.

Mr. II. II. Black, the well-known
blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan
Co., N. Y., says: "Our little eon, five
years old, lias always been subject to
croup, and so bad have ttie attacks been
that we have feared many times that he
would die. We have had the doctor and
lined many medicines, but. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is now out sole reliance.
It seems to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when the
thecroupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded croup is cured
before it nets settled." There is no
danger In giving this remedy for it con
tains no opium or other injurious drug
and may be given as confidently to a
habeas loan adult. For sale be Blakeley,

Coi.orm:, Dec. 1. Mr. Krnger arrived
hero at 11:I!0 o'clock. A great crowd
had assembled and caused a dangerous
crush. No oflicial reception had been
arranged, and Mr. Krnger drove to the
Cathedral Hotel, the crowd cheering as
he left tho station, and as hi drove along
the route. 'I lie ubsence of an official
welcome is said to have been due to a
neglect to secure an understanding with
the imperial court, which is necessary
in case of visits of heads of states, hence,
it is reported that Mr. Kruger will prob
ably not go to Berlin at present.
To remove u troublesome corn or
bunion : First soak the corn or bun ion
in warm water to soften it, then pare it
down as closely as possible without draw-'
ing blood and apply Chamberlain's Pain
Balm twice daily; rubbing it vigorously
for five minutes at each application. A
corn plaster should be worn for a few
davs, to protect it from the shoe. As a
general liniment for sprains, bruises,
lameness and rheumatism, I'ain Balm is
uncqualed. For sale by Blakeley, the
druggist.

cough at any time, and will cure ttie

London, Dec. 1. The beer poisoning
epidemic at Manchester, which has so
worked up the north of England, has
now spread to London. Tlie county
council announces it is taking active
measures to protect the ommuuity.
Tho workwoman now empties his pewter
pint with more or less fear and trembling
and analytists are busy day and night on
the saccharine used to extensively by the
brewers. Many of these were found lo
contain arsenic. In Manchester and
other districts there are already 18,000
patients, and there have been seventy
deatbB due to the peculiarly bad lot of
glucose supplied lo the favorite local
brewers, which caused perpheral neu
ralgia, very similar to beri-beri. As the
result of the agitation the use of glucose
will probably be restricted by legislation.
The public analytist suggests that the
mystery iu the Maybrick case might
have been solved, Irad the facts, now
made public iu regard to arsenic in beer,
been known at the time of trial.

Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo,, lately had a wonderful
dellvereuce from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says : "I was taken with
Tvphoid fever, that ran into Pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King's New Diecovery. One bottle gave
great relief. I continued to use it, and
now am well and strong. I can't say
too much in its praise." Tins marvellous

Nkw Yokk, Dec. 1. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Slguor Marconi's proposition to flash
messages without wires between Europe
and America may prevent the passage of
the bill for a Pacific cable. Chairman
Hepburn, of the House committee, on
interstate and foreign commerce, who
reported a Pacific cable bill in the last
session of congress, said :
"What is the ueo of putting $13,000,.
000 or $20,000,000 under the ocean in a
cable plant if an invention has been
perfected that will render all submarine
cables useless?"
The advocates of a cable bill will push
it early in the session. The chances will
be further complicated, however, by the
differences of opinion between those who
favor a subsidized cable and thoee who
favor construction by the government.

The Central Navigation it Construc
tion Company's managers have found
one moie question which will have to
be solved before they can expect to get
their road into running order. This is
tlie question of raising the $25,000 to
Iay the lien tiled on the road by
Winters & Chapman. This firm are the
contractors who did considerable of the
grading on the road and they are now
preparing to foreclose their lien, and
unless the full amount is paid by the
company in a comparatively short time
it may be too late. The lien was filed
several weeks ago when it first came to
light that the Central Navigation &
Construction Company was not on a
very sound basis.
It is reported that the company that
is constructing the road, when it reor
ganizes, which will be iu the near future,
will take in some new eastern capital
and pay off the heavy debt winch now
hangs over the system. It was reported
for a time that it would secure another
large loan from the same company
which advanced the first loan, hut as to
definite action the officers at the present
time will have nothing to say. As
torian. "1 have UBed Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find

S. Phipps, of Poteau, Ark. "It cured
