ceived Mr. Dart is required to pre
serve the bond as a part of the re
cords of this cause for such disposi
tionas the Circuit Court of the
Southern .district mar hereafter
adjudge.
Mr. Dart filed a motion in the
Circuit Court at San Antonio to
earry into effect the above orders
and the same was heard by the
court at San Antonio on Nov. 24,
but has not yet been acted upon
'The above orders requiring that
the xnoney and bond transferred to
the Southern district court become
necessarv from the fact that the
cause is pending in the Southern dis
trict at Brownsville and the money,
bond and papers were only at San
Antonio for the convenience of the
parties, during the period that San
Antonio was included in the same
district with Brownsville, and the
court of the Southern district now
having jurisdiction of this cause, it
is necessary that the money, bonds
and papers be removed into the
jurisdiction of the Southern dis
trict. -

which was begun some thirty years
PANAMA TREATY SIGNED.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 22.
The treaty between the United
States and Colombia for thn con
struction of the Panama Canal by
the United States, was signed to
day iji this city. No details of the
signature of the treaty were obtain
able tonight.
It had been intended not to make
the signatures of the canal treaty
public until tomonow, but the
news apparently was too good for
some of tho friends of thc-xanal to
kecsp after the long delay and sus
pense and it transpired at tlie Pres
ident's official reception. Fears
had been entertained until this
week that Colombia would not be
willing to accede to the wishes of
fthc United States in thematterand
that recourse to the Nicaragua can
al project might bo forced on Ihe
United States.
The principle obstacle to the o in
clusion of the treaty, it is said. 1. s
been the price that tho United
States was to pay in the shape of a
cash payment and by way of an
annual rental for the strip of terri
tory along each side of the canal
right or way. It could not be
learned.lonight what wasthc price
finally agreed on. Sometime ago
there was a hitch over the question,
of the extent to which control "by
the United States over this strip of
land should go, Colombia objecting
on the ground that the provisions
requested in the treaty by the Uni
ted States would mean a relinquish
ment of sovereignty by Colombia
over part of her territory, but this
matter was amicably adjusted, ae
. . I was a dififtrfnfA nc in iUa i;r r i. .
in gaitl I luc
lease of the strip of land in ques
tion, the final result being a practi
cal concession in perpetuity of the
strip to the United States for canal
purposes and incidental police con
trol and protection of the canal
right of way.
Tho canal treaty was signed at
Secretary Hay's house this after
noon, Mr. Hay acting for the Unit
ed States and Dr. Uerran, the
charge d'affaires of Colombia, who
had been specially given full pow
ers to negotiate tho treaty, signing
in behalf of Colombia. The treaty
will have to go to the Senate for
rat:fication and it is believed it Will
be transmitted to (hat body tomorrow.
