Exeter Times, 1909-02-18, Page 3AN ARBITRATION TREATY Has Been Concluded Between Great Britain and the United States. A despatch from Milwaukee, -Wisconsin, says: .1 inha ssador rates Bryce of Great Britain w•as •guest of honor anal principal aker at the annual banquet of t o Milwaukee Merchants and Manufacturers' Assc.ciation on 1Vednesciay night. The Ambassa- dor spoke with satisfaction of the treaties concluded, or almost con- cluded, between brit* United States and Great Britain. "14, is a plea' .ire to me," he said, "and 1 ant sure it ought to be so to all Ameri-.ons and to all Canadians that the friendship be- tween you and the people of Can- ada has steadily grown, and that 'nur Government and ours have lately been able to c•ow:lude three treaties designed to remove pos- sible clauses of disputa between the two peoples. Ono of these provides r the exact delimitation of the boundary between the two coun- tries; another for salvage opera- tions; a third for regulating and developing the fisheries in the great lakes. We have alae concluded a treaty of great importaaoe fur t -ho friendly arbitration of all questi •n that may hereafter arise between tho United States and the British Em- pire, and within the last few weeks your lath Secretary of State and I have signed two other treaties, ono for the arbitration of ques- tions relating to the North Atlan- tic fisheries, and the other regu- lating the use of waters on the boundary between the United States and Canada. This last is a matter of the greatest conse- quence because questions left un- settled on this boundary might easily give rise to vexatious con- troversy. A STREAM OF LAVA. Flowing Donn the Side of a Nexis can Volcano. A dee•patsh from Mexico City says: Another earthquake occur- red in the vicinity of Colima. on Tuesday. A violent eruption .of the volcano followed the quake. A ridge of lava about a mito long is streaming down ono side of the volcano. No fatalities have result- o:t so far as known. The region .affected is barren. The famous oil well, known as the Dos Boeas, which for months shot a column of Haines and smoke into the :air for many hundreds of feet, has turn- ed int., a geyser, and fears aro en- tertaiiuxl that eventually tho well, which for so long has furnished a grand spectacle of the powers of nature, may become an active vol- cano. The first evidences of this were made apparent on Tuesday, when, in addition t ► the great volume of boiling water which is lifted heavenward at tho rate of •2- .sllons each twenty-four large quantity of volcanic s thrown out.

Summer Drill velli be Held This Velar, as Usual. •1a des.-pat.eli from Ottawa says: ho fear expressed in some quar- ters that the cutting down of the militia estimates this year by $340,- 000 on the item for annual drill, as compared with tho expenditure for the same purpose last year, means a curtailment of the num- ber of hien to be drilled in the an- nual camps next summer, is not borne out by the facts. The de- crease in the item is duo to the fact that this year there will not be the expense of a military dis- play involved in the Quebec Ter- centenary last. year. Four 1906-07 the whole militia force was drilled for *630,000, and in 1903-6 for *600,000. This year the, appropri- ation is $860,000, which will be ample for all requirements. __. _ 4. - :IN ARMY OF TIIE EMPIRE.

The scene will never he forgotten by those who saw it, and the in- cident marks an epoch in the his- tory of the Gold Const. The Ad- ministration, from the Governor downwards, did their uttermost to make the show a success, and they were loyally seconded by the native chiefs and by the European mer- chants. The exhibits consisted for the most part of agricultural and forest produce, live stock, and na- tive manufactures; some very fine specimens of native cattle, sheep, and goats came from the Northern Territories. Many prizes were given and the moral effect has been tre- mendous. Perhaps the most encouraging feature in an outlook generally full of promise is the way in which tlio erst-while Ashanti warrior is fling- ing himself into agriculture with as much zest as ho formerly displayed in the pursuit of military fame. A trader ho alw1ya and still is, but his rise as an ngrieulturist is a mat- ter of the last few years only, and has been phenorpelially rapid. UNITED STATES M.1RKETS.
