FT tecalled together. a d amendment to thetreaty whieh gives wAY TRADE A BIT OF ALASKA. : Talk of a Deal With England Affecting the Fortifications of Nicaraguan Canal. Washington, March 23.—It was Jearned here to-day from reliable | sources that the joint high commis- sion will assemble in the immediate future to consider questions of great including the fortifica importance tion of the Nicarascuan canal and the ible relinquisiiment of a small strip of Alaskas territory to the Brit- j ish governinent. It has not been de- termined whether the meeting will be in Washington or in Ottawa, nor just when the commission will be convened. The proposal for reconvening the commission comes from Great Brit- ain and developments to day seem to eonfirm the statement of Sir Wiltred Lauier, made in the Canadian parlia- ment, that the commission will soon As is well known | there is much opposition to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty, which provided jnits original shape for a neutral canal and one which could not be fortified by this country even in time ofwar. Senator Davis has proposed an this government the right to control the canal absolutely whenever the United States becomes involved in a war with a foreign nation. Great Britain naturally opposes this amend- ment, but it is said that government has proposed to reconvene the joint high commission with the joint high commission with the intention of ef- fecting negotiations which will per- mit the United States to fortify the | icaraguan canal, and exchange for this Great Britain will ask for an outlet through Aslaska to the sea, which means the cession of Pyramid harbor to the Britain government. Gen. Funston Coming Home. K. C. Star. General Frederick Funston will leave the Philippines for the United States within the next few weeks. He is tired of doing purely adminis- trative duty and will ask to be re- lieved. He said when he accepted the commission returning him to the Philippines that he did not want to stay in the Orient after active fight- ing had ceased. Soon after his arri- yal he was given command of a brig- ade and stationed at San Isidro, } where he assumed commiund of a prov- | ince, controlling and garrisoning some twenty towns. In a letter toa friend received a day or two ago he said that he would apply for leave to quit the service very soon and would return to this country. DEATH REVEALED HIS IDENTITY. | eee | The Strange Case of a Negro Man Who Wore Women’s Clothes. K.C. Star. A negro who had been living in Kansas City for nearly six months, dressed in women’s clothes, died yes- | terday afternoon at 116 Locust | street. As the negro died without | the care of a physician, Coroner Les- | ter took charge of the body and had it removed to W | ner’s undertaking | the late edi- | tion of the Star yesterday, the dis- | covery was made that the body was that of a man instead of a woman. While living in Kansas City the negro was known as Mollie Johnson, and the police believe that he was wanted in South McAlester, I. T., for murder committed several years @go. Hattie Robinson, who lives in the same house where the negro die’, and ! who knew him before ameto Kan- | sas City, says his right name William Johnson. According to Mrs. Robinson, Johnson killed three men and a woman who were trying to lynch him for assault in South Me- Alester.

Henry first exhaustive statement of the cost of our recent war with Spain and of Mr. MeKinley’s war in the Philippines. official reports and estimates to which he Loomis Nelson gives the His figures are drawn from gave careful and conscientious exam- ination. Mr. Nelson finds the cost of the war with Spain to have been $259,341,- 299; of the warin the Philippines, $64,617,267 in 1899 and a prospect- ive cost of $100,885,934 for the cur- rent year—a total of $424,844,500. The increased cost of the army and navy for the present fiscal year over 1897, due to our policy of military “expansion,” will be $100,885,934. And with the pensions on account of | these wars still to come, the total expenditures of the government have increased from $365,744,160 in 1897 to $605,072,180 in 1899—or from $5.01 per capita of the population to $7.57 per capita. As the war in the Philippines is now admitted by Senator Beveridge and Representative Grosvenor to be a commercial enterprise, Mr. Nelson estimates the returns from the whole venture in the two wars, and taking the wildest guess of the imperialists as to the value of the future trade he shows a net joss to the nation of over $500,000,000.

Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature Jones Will Not Be Chairman. Washington, March 24.—Nearly every democratic politician in Wash- ington predicts that Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, will not suc- ceed himself as chairman of the dem- ocratic national committee. Mr. Jones is pronounced a very pleasant gentleman, but a failure as a cam- paigu manager. Well known demo- |erats in Washington say one of four men will succeed the Arkansas sena- tor, ex-Gov. William J. Stone of Mis- souri, E. M. House of Austin, Texas, ex-Representative Tom L. Johnson of Ohio, and Elliott Danforth of Schoharie county, the only county in the state of New York which Bryan arried in 1896.

The Columbia Heral On May 21, 1900, J. West Goodwin. of the $ dalia Bazoo, will have been fifty years in the newspaper business. He has had a lively career in this half century and a book of reminiscenses written by this veteran journalist would be an entertaining volume During the days when James Gordon Bennett was at the height journalistic power in New York City, Goodwin happened into the news- paper metropolis. A New York Her- ald reporter published among the personals in the paper next morning that J. West Goodwin, editor of the Sedalia Bazoo, New York Bennett, who scanned with attention every line in the paper, caught this modest paragraph. The next morr- ing he sent an invitation to Goodwin tocallon him at the Herald office. Goodwin went. Bennett asked him what *‘Bazoo’ meant. The Sedalia editor told him it meant wind instru- ment and proceeded to make up a wonderful story of the queer word as used by a mysterious tribe of red mer down in the Ozark regions of the southwest. The next morning there appeared in the New York Herald a column editorial article, written by Bennett in his well-known style. relat- ing the history of this new Indian word. Mr. Goodwin has framed and hang- ing on the walls of his Sedalia head- quarters a card of membership in the typographical union.
