CANAL AND OTHER TREATIES Will Eary Send Importast Con- ventions to President. RECIPROCAL TRADE RELATIONS ABROAD Extradition Matters Alse to He Con- Aldered i1 Unbroken for © Doorkeeper of Ho (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct 27.—~(Special.)— When the senate meets in December the president will send to it for ratification a great many important treaties. In the first place a new convention between the United States and Great Britaln looking 10 a satisfactory solution of the Nicaragua caval probleru has alrcady been prepared. This new treaty has heen so drawn to eliminate the objectionable features of the Hay-Pauncefote agreement of two years ago. It will be remiembered that that cenvention was generally criticised through- out the country and was finally refected by the senate becausc it was regarded as conceding too much by the United States, while securing practically nothing from Great Britaln. Mr. Hay and some of the whrewdest diplomats in the senate took a contrary view, bui whatever its merits it excited so much popular clamor from the day of its first publication that Its fate was inevitable, The rejection of the freaty by the senate was regarded by Mr. Hay as a personal reflection upon himself and he would certainly have resigned hia portfolio but for the earnest pleadings of Mr. McKinley, who finally Induced him to remain in the cabinet With any representative of Great Britain other than Lord Pauncefate it is quite prob- able that all negotlations would have been terminated with the rejection of the treaty. But the British ambassador was not dis- couraged by the action of the senate. He is a warm admirer of the United States and after a visit to England, where he re- celved further instructions from the Fe eign office, he appoured 1n Washington again ready to abaudon nearly all the claims for which Great Britaln contended and the result s id to be a convention which cannot fail to secure the endorsement of the senate. S8hould this naw trealy be ratified it-will serve the double purpose of showing the good feeling of the present English king toward the United States and at the same time will prove that Secretary Hay understands the art of securing for America what Americans desire in the way of in- ternational laws. Reciprocal Trade Relations, In spite of the fact that the reciprocity treaties between the United States and a number of foreign countries falled of rati- fleation by the senate an attempt is to be made again this winter to bring about re- ciprocal trade relations under the terms of the Dingley act with a number of foreiwn governments. Treaties to this end will be submitted 10 the senate early in the com- Ing sesslon and as the sentiment in favor ot reciprocity has grown rapidly during the 1ast few months there is believed to be a substantial basis for the hope that some of them, at le: will meet a better fate than fast year. Two new extradition treaties are among the documents which the senate will con- sider during the winter. Both have been negotiated within the last six months and they will serve to still further lessen the chancés for the escape of American crim- inals. In June last Mr. Charles 8. Francis, the American minister to Greece, Roumania and Sertia, brought back with him to the United States a convention between this country and Roumania, under which each country agreed to give up to each other criminals trom one who might seek safety in the other. For many years the United Btates has been trying to complete the chain of extradition treaties around the world, 80 as to close every habitable asy- lum to the murderer, the embezzler and the goneral criminal. Roumanla was one of the coyntries which was either indifferent or_gpenly, hostile to such arrangements. But Mr. Francis succeeded where other ministers had failed and he brought back with him the signed draft of a treaty which in_setlsfactory to the State department in eyery respect. Extradition with Serv When he returned to his post a short time ago he carried with him the outline of & similar convention, with instructions to proceed to Belgrade and attempt to secure the signature of the government of Servid to an extradition treaty. He has nuceeeded and the State department Is greatly elated over his success. As a re- sult of four or flve months of effort on the part of Mr. Francis, who has been in the diplomatic corps less than two y the department is able to send to the sen- ate two extradition treaties with Buropean countries and it is a foregone conclusion that both will be promptly ratified by the [ Bome of the United States ministers abroad serve for many years without se- curing anything like a treaty.

Nelson; at Bergen, Norway, has sent a report to the marine hospital service dn which he saysthat the prevalence of leprosy in Denmark must be imputed to the uneleaniiness and the ex- treme carelessness of the people. He says there are a number of leproay patients there, of whom four are in Copenhagen. in Denmark leprosy does not belong: to those few diseases which are subjected to public treatment. Tcelard has its own leprosy law. At the Laugoarnoes hospital in Iceland, established by the 0dd Fellows' order, there were clghty one patients received during 1899 and of these eighteen are now dead and only two have heen.discharged as fully re- covered. Relapses were usual in leprosy cares. The death rate has been fearfully high, which is somewhat oftset by, the fact that 1899 was the firat year of the hospital's work and the firat. year Iceland’s.population was admitted. ’ The report says that Dr. Armauer H sen of Bergen has found the, leprosy bac- cllus, but its antagonist Is pot yet dia- covered.

MADRID, Oct ~During yesterday's sitting of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies, which proved sensational, Senor Romero Y. Robledo cleverly led the minister of war, General Weyler, to define his attitude and intentions. General Weyler declared that while the war in Cuba lasted his views were totally distinet from those of the Iib- eral party, but that when the war was at an end the motive for separation disap pearcd and he saw nothing to prevent him attaching himself to a liberal government “I have always faithfully observed dla- cipline,” he continued, “and he who tall of dictatorship is the enemy of discipline. Our recent maneuvers have proved that 8004 feeling exists between the people and the army. As for dictatorship, no one thinks of such a thing. Dictators are the oftspring of circumstances. “For myself, | may say this: I have never thought of being one, nor do I now. Nevertheless, If my ald were asked at a moment of gravity, I do not know how I should divide between my political and mil- itary dvties, but I should always lean to- ward the latter.” : Loud applause Interrupted the minister of war and several of his ministerial col- leagues were unable to restrain expressions of surprise at his words. “l am a politician and a liberal,” he re- sumed, “but before all 1 am a soldier, and It it should become necessary I will defend our ipstitutions and parliament.” Senor Romero rejoined: “1 take note of the declarations of the minister of war on the subject of a dictator- ship.” General Weyler's speech largely occupies public attention, in view of the possibility that he may become premier if Senor Sa- gasta, whose health is Indifferent, should find it necessary to retire, El In.parclal remarks that “a dark cloud enshrouds General Weyler since the de- bate." After attacking Senor Silvela, the con- servative leader, for advocating an alllance between Spain and France, Semor Romero attacked General Weyler for inspecting the forts in the neighborhood of Gibraltar without due cause.

In an inter- view the elder Czolgosz was asked what he had to say finally to his unfortunate son. The old man's eyes filled with tears as he replied deliberately: “Tell Leon that I hope he may rest in peace; that he will hgcome reconciled to God and will meet his end bravely. Tell him that as much as I and all of our fam- fly regret his most unhappy plight that we can do nothing to interfere; that he alone is responsible for his unfortunate position and that he must meet his pun- ishment as a consequence.’ Further conversation elicited the infor- mation 1bat the purposs of the visit of Wal- deck Czolgosz to Auburn is to arrange fnr the disposition of the body after the mandate has been carried out. Up to this afternoon no communication had heen re- celved by the elder Czolgosz from Waldeck and this is taken to mean that the father's presence is not desired at the death scene. The entire arrangements of the afterpart of the law's course are in Waldeck's hands and vhat steps he will take are a matter of unceftainty. The expense of conveying the body from Auburn to Cleveland is one of the considerations that causes hesitancy in the announcement of definite final ar- rangements. Desecration is Feared. Paul Czolgosz, the father, stated that there was some fear of mutilation or other undesirable occurrence at some time or other it the body should be brought to Cleveland immediately after the etrocu- tion. This fear has led to the considera- tion of cremating the body at Buffalo or some other city where a crematory is avail- able, Some anonymous communications to the Czolgosz family have mentloned the fact that the body might be valuable a sel- entific object to medical people and would bring a good sum of money, but further than mere hints no definite offer has been made. It was stated that such an offer would be distasteful to the family of the assassin and would not be considered. Fear that the body might be stolen If buried in the usual manner is also a r for cremation being favored. Post mnrhm arrangements are in the hands ef Waldeck Crolgosz and whatever he does the family here will acqui in.

Crowley, late pastor of St. Mary's church at Oregon, 1., has been excommunicated by Bishop Feehan. The edict of excommu- nication, which was made public today, says: “He cannot be present or assist at any of the public exercises or offices of religion In the Roman Catholic church, nor can he be present at mass, vespers or any other public service in the Roman Catholic church.” The order of dismissal was the result of attacks by Father Crowley upon fellow pastors of the Catholic faith and charges of favoritism, fraud and cruelty which he made at the time Father Muldoon was con- secrated as auxiliary bishop of the Chicago diocese. Father Crowley was warned repeatedly to desist, but finally Archbishop Feehan lost patience and compelled him to resign his pastorate. An hour later Father Crow- ley withdrew the resignation, but it had Iready been accepted by Chancellor Barry, and it was made absolute. Then Father Crowley started legal proceedings to keep his successor out of the pastorate and re- newed his attacks on Bishop Muldoon. A week ago Cardinal Martinelll, the papal delegate at Washington, came to Chicago and took final action. He gave Father Crowley a choice of two things— to make humble pepance and accept with- out protest a life within the confines of & monastery or to be dismissed forever from the rights and privileges of the Catholic chure Father Crowley was given until 6 o'clock Saturday night to decide and as nothing was heard from him an order of excommunication was sent today by Arch- bishop Feehan to the pastor of the dio- cese. Father Crowley received a copy of the order, but he bade deflance to it today and attended two masses. No effort was made to eject him at either of the masses.

That i3 to say, If one club or team or man defeats another, this may never in good sportsman- ship be regarded as an indication that the victorious one will conquer another which has already been deteated by Its vanquished foe, In foot ball more than any other sport uf today this rule applies, and It is prac- tically absolute in that sport. The very nature of the game, being a play of mass couplod with the fact that so many men are involved in the actions of each side. makes this tru And still, after the many surprising results of last Saturday's con- tests on the gridiron the country over, it is dificult for the enthusiast to refrain from drawing a few comparisons. The day was a most important one in the foot ball season of the middle west, in that it put with one fell swoop two strong teams definitely out of the race for the all west- ern champlonship and made still more gressive the strong claims of three remain- Ing aspirants. Towa, with a team that weighs ffteen pounds heavier to the man than Nebr and with two weeks the advantage in train- ing, has been defeated by the giant Gophers with a score practically the same as that of the Cornhusker game in the north. Three touchdowns did the Minnesotans make on the Hawkeyes, and that was all they conld force over the bodies of the prostrate No- braskans. Sixteen to nothing was the lowa score, 19 to 0 that of Nebraska. Those extra three points came, one because Cap- tain Knowlton kicked one more goal against Nebraska than Towa, two because Stringer failed to kick the ball when it was passed to him by Drain on Nebraska's three-yard line, thus having a safety scored agalnst the Cornhuskers. What seems to render still more pointed this comparison between lowa and Nebraska fs the game the latter team played with Ames Agricultural college Saturday, win- ning 17 to 0. Iowa defeated the same school a week ago 12 to 0 with a full first team, Four of Nebraska's strongest men were out of Saturday's game. They were all veterans, being Captain Westover, Left Guard Ringer, Left Tackle Stringer and Halfback George Shedd. With substitutes in more than one-third of the positions on the team Nebraska did more inst the Ames men than did lowa. The other point of chief interest in west- foot ball, though not so vital to Ne- braskans, is the defeat of the snappy Uni- versity of Illinois team by the North- Hasty critics, wha learned of the nt way in which the Illinolsans overwhelmed Chicago a week ago and of the, awtul drubbjng which Michigan gave Northwestern on the same day, at once sald that the middle west champlonship lay between those two victorious teams. But last Saturday Northwestern played the Ilinols team fairly out of the race, from which it had already dropped. by a score of 17 to 11. Th ate school simply did not have the weight and so could not last. In the first balf it did all the playing; in the second it wi Il in and Northwestern did what it willed. Michigan scored another overwhelming victory, sending its stock up still higher. That team is attracting more attention than any other in the west just now. Its success has been phenomenal and from present indications it is certainly the one to be first of all reckoned for the cham- plonship. Wisconsin is continuing fts invincible on- the drubbing the Badgers gave 50 to 0, being a terrifying thought to all western team After the shame of letting little Knox score on them a week ago and the subsequent combli Coach Phil King gave them for it, the Wisconsin boys braced up hard end took it all out on the poor Jayhawkers. However, that should not be d ing to the Ne- braskans, for Kan dmittedly a poor team this year. It now certainly seems that Wisconain is the chief other element to be considered in picking the western champlons for the A defeat for the Badgers at the nds of Minnesota would of course give the Gophers the place of homor side by with Michigan, but no one, except the Minnesot: themselves, seems;to think such a result of the game of November 16 probable. The unforturate thing is that Michigan plays neither of its big rivals this year. It has a very hard and long schedule, going clear to the Pacific coast, but if it com- pletes the whole thing without a defeat it cannot even then rightfully claim the all- western champignship till it proves its supremacy by a post. son game with Wisconsin or Minnesota, whichever wins three weeks hence. Coming nearer home, Drake walloped the Missaurl Tigers unmercifully. It seems very improbable that the Southerners will be able to do much more than oppose Ne- @ this year. Nelther can Kansas pos- sibly be much of a proposition after its owing with Wisconsin, and that leaves the Cornhu with but two more real games in the future—Wisconsin next Sat- urday and the Thanksgiving gAme with Northwestern or the Haskell Indfan: NECK BROKEN IN SCRIMMAGE Center Rush of Ok iversity Frac- tures Vertehra—~Small Hope for Reepvery.
