tto 59 republican ((Blue) a total vote
of 173. The estimated vote of the
precinct is 213. The democratic
majority here was greaterv by 20

-was owing to the$iard 'tireless work

SUNDAY CLOSING IN MEXICO.
City of Mexico Steps are being
taken to form in this city a Sunday
closing union of allfthe business.
menvand shopkeepers " The public
sentiment here seems to be in favor
of closing stores and shops on Sun
day afternoons. This is something
new and unusual in Mexico, where
Sunday has always been the busi
ness day in the week.
The construction, of the new Plaza
de Toros at Chapultepec is nearing
completion and will be inaugurated
on the 16th of November. This will
be the largest bull ring in the Re
public, occupping space of 10,000
square meters. The cost of the struc
ture, which is built entirely of wood,
will be $45,000. The seating capac
ity will be 14,000.
The Vera Cruz & Pacific Rail
way, which will be constructed
soon, will prove to be of great ben
efit to the region through which it
will pass. Mexico will then have a
line of railway from the Atlantic
to the Pacific oceans. The landown
ers in the country through which
the road will be built have given
free concessions of all the land
needed by thecowpkn-.
The 'company has also received a
subsid3r from the Government.
WAXTS MORE FOR CANAL.
Colombia Asks $10,000,000 for
14-Year Concession.
Washington, ID). C. Mr. Concha,
the Colombian Minister, called at
the State Department to-day and
conferred with Secretary Hay in re
gard ito the Panama Canal treaty,
the megotiation of whicWhe has
been -directed fey his Government to
resume. It is expected that Ihe ne
gotiations wEM -now be hurwbd to a
conclusion. B
There are -still two olvstnclcs in
sight Despite the fact that it is the
opimasTi of !&he State Department
that they wall be overcome, they
are in themselves formidable.
The first is Colombia's unwilling
ness &o relinquish any sovereignty
overtake canal strip. The Colom
bian iConstitution prohibits such
relinquishment. The canal act pro
vides that the United States shall
liave jerpetu2l control of the canal
strip.
ine. joiomoian government is
rather apprehensive of the United
States' interpretation of the word
"controL" Minister Concha profess
es to fear that -control" to the mind
of Ihis Government means the
course of aetion pursued by Rear
Admiral Casey on the isthmus,
which has heen itermed "an unwar
ranted assumption of sovereignty."
The Colombian vGovernment de
sires a revision, or at least a. more
lexplicit wording, of the treaty of
846, under the provisions of which
6he naval forces were sent to the
isthmus.
The second obstacle is Colombia's
disinclination to adhere to the orig
inal engagement to grant canal
concession to the United P tates for
a penod of fourteen years for the
sum of 7,000,000. Minister Concha
has told Mr. Hay that his Govern
ment wants $10,000,000.
Colombia, as the result o!i recent
civil wars, is bankrupt, and it is
argued that an increase in the con
cession price will make the neoble
more kindly disposed toward the
United States, and more- willing to
indorse the treaty granting the ca
nal concessions to this country.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
TOPAZ, NOVEMBER'S JEWEL.
I
Who first comes to this world below,
With drear November's fopr andsnowr
Should prize the Topaz' amber hue,.
Emblem of friends end lovers true.
The topaz, "emblem of friendsr
and lovers true," is the stone for
November; and a very beautful one
it is with its characieristic timber
tints. The cairngorm is the Scotch
topaz, a kind of smoky quartz- of
which the people of the country aro
very fond. The topaz was one of
the stones in the breastplate of the
high priest, upon which Moses en
graved the names of the tribes o
Irael, so that it has all the.. .glam
our of antiquity to add to its. inter
est. In the early Christian 'day this
stone-was associated with the: vir
tues of St. James-the-Less, .the cus
toms of the Romans having per
meated apostolic tradition.
Most topazes come, from Brazil
and they are not ahvtrys- amber,
some red, white and blue varieties:
being known. They are distingui
ed from the ruby and.ther colored
stones by their softness. The best
topaz is a yellow variety of the ruby.
Like most other of the ancient
gems tradition has been woven
about the topaz. Once upon a time,
so runs the tradition, the pretty and.
noble Lady Hildegarde presented a
topaz to a monastery. When the
monks went into the chapel that
night to pray it was not necessary,
to light the candles for the beauti
ful stone shown as with the glory
of God. By its light they read their
prayer, and one cannot help wish
ing to know the rest of the story
what became of .the -topaz? and how
long it continued to blaze fortlrfor
the good men. The Jewel.
