4 "Hi** THE MnWtKAPOIJIS JiOIJBNAL , " jSu A JOINT I CONTROL J&F. Colombia and the* U. s. Trying to s Agree on Terms. FLAWS IN THE CANAL ACf T h e M e a s u r e Not Carefully D r a w n - Q u e s t i o n s at S o v e r - e i g n t y . v - - Washington, July ,i\.With the ex pectation of signing the treaty by which Colombia will concede all the rights in cident to the building of the Panama canal by the United States, Senor Concha, the Colombian minister, Mr. Heoran, first secretary of legation,' and William Nel son Cromwell, representing the Panama railroad and canal companies, are busily engaged in going over certain pointB in the treaty which must be modified before the instrument can be signed. Neither the state department nor the Colombian officials care to disclose the nature of the modifications which it has now be come necessary to make in the treaty, but it is understood, that they involve the question of sovereignty. The close study now in progress of the isthmian treaty and the treaty presented by the Colombian government develops apparently important differences and ob scurities in the letter of the documents, which may not, however, exist in their spirit. For instance, section two of the canal act authorizes the president to ac quire from Colombia "perpetual control of a strip of land * * * which control shall include * * * Jurisdiction over said strip and the ports at the ends there of, to make such police and sanitary rules end regulations as shall be necessary to preserve order and the public health thereon, and to establish such judicial tribunals as may be agreed upon thereon as may.be necessary to enforce such rules and regulations.''- Prom this, portion of. the act it would appear that the United States alone is to make police and sanitary regulations for the canal- strip and establish judicial tri bunals for their enforcement. Yet article S of the draft of the canal treaty provides for .the creation .of "a joint j:omml by. the .governments of Colombia and the United States 'that shall establish and en force sanitary and police regulations." Article 4 of he treaty .deals specifically with the question of sovereignty as fol lows: The rights and privileges granted to the United States by the terms of this conven tion shall not affect the' sovereignty of the republic of Colombia over the territory with in whose boundaries such rights and priv ileges are to be exercised. _. The United States freely acknowledges and recognizes this sovereignty and disavows any. intention to Impair it in any way whatever or to lnorease its territory at the expense of Colombia, or of any of, the sister republics in Central or South America, but, on the con trary, it desires to strengthen the power of the republics, on this continent and then promote, develop and maintain their pros perity and independence. Briefly, summing up, it appears to be the task now before the -parties to the pro posed convention to define with absolute clarity the extent anft limits of the con trol or joint control to be exercised over the canal strip. For while control is not sovereignty in the common acceptance of the terms, yet in practice the two often merge so closely as to defy identification, and 1t has all along been recognized that any provision of .the treaty which threat ens in any measure the sovereignty of the South American republic over the canal land will not be acceptable to the Colom bian congress. Minister Concha has been in poor health and contemplates a trip out of town to recuperate in the near future. It is con fidently hoped that-the treaty may be signed before- bfc departure. That tired, languid, feeling and dull headache is very disagreeable. Take two of Carter's Little Liver Pills before retir ing, and you will find relief. They never fail to do good.

Johtumesburg, Transvaal, July 11.The British trade commissioners who recent ly arrived here from England, admit that they are amazed at the amount of steel building'material being used. They also comment unfavorably on the indolence of British, firms. They say that, so far as they are able to discover, only one firm, and that an American' concern', has a capable representative in South Africa. He has been securing immense orders in Cape Town and Johannesburg, at his own prices, for huge buildings up to fourteen sitories, by being able., to quote prices promptly, and promise construction with American speed. - , , B o e r s D i s l i k e t h e Oath, * iBloemifonteln, Orange River Colony, July 11.Ifficulty has arisen regarding the oath of allegience., Many of the Boer commandants, field cornets and officials of the late Free State government, refuse to sign the oath, though few of them object to signing the document called "the decla ration," acknowledging King Edward as sovereign. The oalth of allegience, how ever, is much more binding. T w i c e s. E v e r y D a y t o C i n c i n n a t i a n d L o u i s v i l l e .

New York, July 11.A peculiar case of deportation, Involving the denial of the right of a patient with an incurable mal ady to land in this country for the pur-t pose of consulting a specialist, is that in-' volved in the compulsory/ departure of Guillomo Sangerius, a wealthy Spaniard of Havana. Senor Sangerius arrived here from Cuba June 7. A physician of the United ^ States marine hospital service, detailed - to the immigration service, boarded the steamer after she had passed quarantine Inspection. He noticed that Senor San gerius had trachoma, a disease of the eve, and ordered him isolated in the United States marine hospital for aliens. Senor Sangerius protested and ex plained that he had come here for the purpose of consulting the most noted specialists of this country. He appealed to the humanity of the physicians, but they told him that they could only obey the law. Senor Sangerius boarded a re turn steamer under protest. " SAD DAY FOR MISS CROCHBR'ON. *' - New York, July 11.Miss Mary E. Croche ron, a descendant pf a Hugenot of noble birth, who was shipped out of France in a barrel to save him from the headsman's axe, has been deprived of a home hallowed to her by the associations of more than two\ centuries. ' She is waiting in the house at New Springville, Staten Island, where her forefathers lived in luxury, for the summons to gather her belongings, and, at the age of 6, to begin life anew. The property, con sisting of 110 acres of land and the old home stead, was sold for $10,905 to satisfy a mort gage held by the trustees of a church fund.

KlK 3 '- { u The little band of OjLbway Indians - a v e its first presentation of the Indian play of "Hiavflatha" July 10 on Kensing ton Point, near Desbarats, a small Ma rti on on the Soo road, twenty-eight miles beyond Sault Ste. Marie. Desbarats promises to becomie the Mecca for the lovers of Longfellow's incomparable poem, nd every train and steamer drops tour ists who are anxious to see the story nd the country made famous by the poet. T(hoae-who were fortunate enough to witness the production last summer and the summer before have been so en thusiastic in their praise of the play, the actors and ithe setting, that the hillside that serves as am ampitheater will be thronged at each performance. The en tertainment is a unique one and offers an unrivaled opportunity for the tourist to see the Indian legends enacted by the descendants of the heroes whose prowess Is sung in the stories. The parts are all taken by Indians who present a series of striking pictures in 'their savage garb, and the cast includes the chief and an Indian princess. Many of the trappings are heirlooms and have been -carefully preserved for generations. No word of English is spoken, hut the acting is so perfect and the poem so famiillar that the audience has no difficulty in following the play. Proimi the moment that the smoke of the GitoMe Manitou rises, call ing the tribes to council and the Indiana, in their fantastic trappings and war paint rush (through the audience, to the close when Hiawatha, with -upllfted arms, floats away in (his bark canoe until he is lost in the golden glory,of the setting sun, the audience is shown a swiftly mov ing series of ibrilliant pictures, the in fant Hiawatha wilth old Nokomis sing ing the Ojibway lullaby , 'the visit of Hi awatha to the tent of tihe rrow maker the wooing of Minnehaha - the bringing home of the bride, with its attendant dances, sports and ceremonies, the boat's capture and punishment of Pau-Puk keewis, the coming of the missionary and the departure of Hiawatha. The play was first given in/honor of the visit of Miss Alice Longfellow to the land of the OJibways, and it has been greatly strengthened and improved since then. This year performances will be given every afternoon, except Sunday, through July and August. In the mornings there will be sports and games, swimming contests canoeing trips and fishing and hunting parties. Desbarats is in the center o f the sports man's paradise and 'there is fishing and hunting in abundance. A swimming school will 'be held in a natural pool and instruction will be given in canoeing, rowing and sailing, the stanch Indian sailboats. A charming rustic hotel, Hiawatha lodige, has been built this year entirely by the Indians under the direction of Lh C. Armstrong, colonization agent for the C. P. R. The hotel is undeir the management of George Linklater, a famous big game guide and fisherman, and the kitchen is presided over by an experienced oheif employed by the C. P. "R. The furniture of the lodge was also made by the Indians and some of it is ..quaintly and' artistically ornamented. The bedrooms are snug, comfortable and prefcty. Fifty guests can be accommo dated at the lodge and there is one suite reserved for people suffering from ca tarrhal and asthmatic troubles. It has beds of nr balsam and i s papered with specially prepared tarred paper. On the third story is a large dormltoTy for men, which is screened and hung with choice skins. A few Indian tepees have been pitched for the use of those who wish to rough it dn earnest. The hotel at Des barats. has also been completed this sea son, so that there is ample accommoda tion for the tourist. The Hiawatha play is to Americans what the Passion Play is to the people of Oberamanergau. It had its origin in no religious ceremony but is the expression of the intense love and gratitude which the Indians bear the man who gave their tribal legends a setting which has made them immortal. CHOLERA IN MANILA Quarantined City Obliged to Do Without Fresh Vegetables. FEW WHITE PEOPLE TAKE DISEASE i St * ' . 1 w 0VIiik Govt. E m p l o y e W r i t e s of Life i n t h e P h i l i p p i n e s F r o m a W o m a n ' s S t a n d p o i n t . Aberden, S. D.. July 11.Mrs. Fannie Hauser Kipp, who is in the custom house at Manila, and has recently been advanced to an $1,800 position, writes a friend in this city some interesting letters, from which your correspondent is permitted to make the following extracts: During January, February and March the weather was Just perfect, about like the latter part of iMay or the -flrst of June in Dakota. "Several times 1 .wore quite heavy wraps in the evening, and always carried a light one. I have worn summer clothes all the time of course, but now the hot weather" is" here everything is white. Tt la so much- cooler than - th e same thing in black and " so much nicer. The highest the thermometer has reached so far is 98. I do not mind the heat any more than I did in Aberdeen, but here nobody thinks of walking to the middle of the day,except the natives. Everybody rides. I am wearing now in the office every day, a thin shirt waist with elbow sleeves and no collar, a'semi-Bhort skirt of white drill and white canvas shoes. We also wear white on own faces here, for the ladies nearly all use talcum powder and most of the barber shops powder the men dreadfully. The Spanish ladles are about the only ones to wear high stock collars and I am sure they'are wel come to them, for the only place I have been troubled with heat-rash, is right under my chin, Just where the top of a collar would come, so I have not worn one' for over two months and don't expect to for at least two years. One of the essentials here is talcum powder, "for,-as ^ e bathe very frequently and perspire so freely, the skin seems to-.get very tender, so a large majority of the ^people take a- rub-down wit teleum-after every bath. ': v - } - - i uppose 4 this time you are all wonder- t ' __ r - ing about cholera over here. We have it right with us, but, as it does not seem to touch the Americans or 'Europeans, we are not" going to be alarmed. The city board of health has been working for a long* time to get the city cleaned up and has been offer ing a toounty on rats, as they are supposed to carry the germs. Cholera is only contracted by the 'germs being taken into the stomach, so if one is extremely careful about eating and drinking, there is no danger of the dis ease. There are water wagons and water stations all over the city, where boiled or distilled water is furnished free to any that come for it, and still the natives will drink the city water and bathe in the Pasig river, thatls as thick with filth as the Missouri is with sand. They think the detention camp Is only a scheme of the Americans to get them into the calaboose, and will do anything to -avoid going there. They turn out their own folks, if they are sick and, if they die, the body is thrown into the river or the canals. All this makes it very hard to accomplish much toward driving out the disease, but, when you realize that in over six weeks there have been a little less than a thousand deaths, while in the last epidemic there were over a thousand a week, the result is very complimentary to the American board 'of health. One of the saddest things that has happened here for some time was the death of Major Meacham of the- board of health. He died from the severe strain, and over work, not cholera, as some inferred, and waa a martyr if there ever was one. His mother and two little daughters wore on the way out here and arrived a day or two after his death. His wife has already started to' come out for his body and for the children.' There have been a few deaths among Americans and Europeans, but'in nearly every case, it was due to direct contact with cholera patients, mixed with carelessness, in most cases. We are all looking very anxiously to the time when the quarantine will- be raised again, for now we have no fresh vegetables of any kind, and~do not dare.eat much of the fruit either. The quarantine has affected business, too, and everybody is complaining of jtbe^.hardest times they ever saw, for no one is allowed to come in or go out of the city, except with a pass from the board of health, and this 1B very seldm granted to a native, so the provincial trade is- practically shut oft. One man, when asked if he was afraid of cholera, said he was no more afraid of it'than of being run over by a-carabao, and as the old-fashioned American ox team is. extremely swift, in comparison with these animals, you can' appreciate the expression. . The majority of line American women here look like faded-out editions, for so few of them retain their rosy cheeks. It is such a lazy, indolent life that we lead, that there is no incentive* to exercise. Yet, nearly every one that lives here Jong wants to come back after a very brief stay In the States. It cer tainly is a fascinating country, and I see no reason why the Americans here can not make all' the money they want in the next few years, especially if the cholera will only wipe out av few more natives, and they will allow coolie labor. That Is almost an abso lute necessity over here, for the Filipinos won't Work, and the Americans could not stand it. The coolies will do more work and work more hours than an ordinary machine, and they seem to enjoy it, too. A'large consignment of Japanese rickshaws has just been received and they are going to try the experiment here, and endeavor if possible, to relieve the transportation problem a little. As it is now, it costs almost as much to hire a shabby little old carramata, as it would a handsome carriage in the States. The Spaniards, who seem to own most-of the rigs,. will tell you to your face that the Americans have lots of money, so they can pay lots, therefore they charge the Americans from two to three times as much a's- their own countrymen.'' \ " ' *- J j l A Charming Complexion "The foundation of & blear complexion is pure blood and a clean system.
