IT ONLY POSSIBLE WITH A LARGE CONCERN THE OMAHA DAILY J3EEt SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 3001. The experiments of Bondy & Lederer of New York in transplanting young Cuban Vuelta sprouts to American soil might have been attempted by a smaller house; but only so large a concern could have brought the at tempt to such com plete success for the American smoker's benefit. After the final success of the first experiments the diffi culty had but started. Extension of the planting to large proportions was a matter of extreme difficulty.

GIVES UNCLE SAM NO EXPLANATIONS Minuter for the Little Kelfrhhor Mays Friendly Relations Are Not to Do Impaired, but alvea No Motive, WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. The government ot Nicaragua has terminated the treaty under which the United States was em powered to construct an tnteroceanlc canal cross the territory o(. Nicaragua. This action has been conveyed to tho State de partment by the Nlcaraguan minister for foreign affairs. That officer declares that the renunciation In no way affects tho friendly relations between, tho two coun tries and the Nlcaraguan government de sires tho conclusion ot new treaties. Besides the treaty of friendship, com merce and navlgntlou ot 1867 thus re Bounced, tho sarao noto convoys tho renun ciation ot the extradition treaty ot 1870 between the United States and Nicaragua. Under the terms of tho renunciation the frat named treaty, covering tho right to construct and guaranteo a canal, the con tention will explro October 24, 1002, which la one year from the date tho notice was received at the State department. The tradition-treaty terminates May 24 next, M provided In tho convention. The Nlcaraguan minister's note conveys absolutely no information as to the motives which Inspired the Nlcaraguan government to renounco these two treaties, neither has Mr. Merry, United States minister to Nicaragua, thrown any light upon the sub Ject. It may be recalled as affecting tae treaty ot 1807 that be tor p submitting tho Hay-Fauncefoto treaty before congress last year Secrotary Hay drew up a set of proto cols with the minister for Nicaragua and the minister for Colombia, whereby these' ofllcers bound their governments to nego tiate treaties with tho United States tor the necessary concessions under which to con struct and control canals in the event that congress should authorlzo tho beginning of such work. NOT ALARMED OVER PLAGUE Marine Hospital Hervloe Will Take Precautious to Prevent tta Introduction. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. With Informa tion so far received from tho Marino hospi tal service authorities as to the outbreak of the plague In Liverpool and Qlasgow this government does not regard these cities ab Infected ports. The utmost care, however, la being exercised by officials here to prevent the plague from entering Atlan tic ports ot the United States -through In coming vessels from Liverpool and Glas gow. All such arrivals wilt be subjected to tho most rigid examination. The mem bers of the crowB of tho vessels, who are more likely to have been near the scene of the ploguo outbreak than tho ordinary pas sengers, will be examined with greatest care. Surgeon General Wyman said today that he did not anticipate a widespread epidemic abroad growing out of the - present out break, and that while strict precautions must be taken, the danger of tho spread of tho disease to this country was "not ex cessive." ' Health Officer Doty ot New York said today that he had had a conference with tho Marine hospital officials at New York today and later would report what action they should decide to be necessary with respect to special regulations governing the arrivals from theplaguo ports.

FEAR REJECTION OF TREATY British Pftblii BtlieTM Senate Will Baite Boat Objiotioni tt Iti Term. CANVASS TO BE MADE BEFORE SIGNING Denial from All Side that Sues Com- Vi ' t Tuklnir a Ilnml In the Opposition to the Ameri can Canal. v LONDON, Nov. 2, Tho first official statement ot any kind mado for a momh in relation to the Nicaragua canal has been obtained by tho Associated Prose. It con firms the fact that Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador to tho United States, when he lands In New York will have with him tho draft of a now treaty abrogating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty which Is in every particular satisfactory to Lord Salis bury's cabinet. Since a representative ot tho Associated Press Interviewed Lord Pauncofote In London not ono word o ra cially authorized has been given out here with reference to tho canal. Tho editorials which have appeared In England havo been based enttrely upon dispatches from the United States. This Is explained by the rather astonishing announcement that all negotiation, up to tho present day havo been entirely unofficial from a Btrlctly diplomatic point of view and that on pour parlers only depend tho hopes generally expressed for a successful bringing over ot tho diplomatic difficulty. Tbeso pour parlers, howovor, havo been particularly searching. Tho State department does not require to see a copy ot tho Important document Lord Pauncefote carries In order to learn its terms, though officially negotiations will only commonco whon tho ambassador reached Washington. Until thon tho exact conditions ot tho now convention aro with held. Though It is admitted that Great Britain has agreed to put the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to one side and to acqulcsco in the construction of the canal by and under the control ot the United States this conces sion from Lord Lansdowno's original con tention has not been granted without some real or fancied advantage to Great Britain. It would not be fair to say that a quid pro quo constituted tho main feature of the protracted pourparlers, but that It will di rectly or Indirectly result Is firmly estab lished In the minds ot the members ot the cabinet. Object Only to Method. Ono ot the most responsible' officials connected with these and the earlier ne gotlatkns said: . "We never really objected to tho con struction ot the canal, but wo did anl do object to cavalier abrogation of iha Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It was? in that spirit that Lord Lnnsdowue couched his reply to the United States senate's rejection of the last Hay-Pauncefote treaty. It was not what you wanted to do, but tho nasty way you said It that was the chief reason for our opposition. Slnco then wo have been approached in a rational, polite manner and we have again endeavored o substitute for tho Clayton-Bubvor treaty a troaty that will enablo America to carry out a design which, in a broad sense, will doubt less benefit the whole world." Tho mollification ot the Foreign office has doubtless done more than anything o'se to secure the assent ot tho British gov ernment to a new treaty. But aim st In tin eamo breath must bo mentioned tho State department's willingness to agree to a re ciprocal arrangement regarding the British West Indies nnd other British possessions. This, whllo in lino with tho views lat to President McKInley and President Roosevelt, was so at varlanco with tho British government's experlonco of the American attltudo that they now regard It In the light of a quid pro quo tor what they believed to bo a concession over the Nlcaraguan proposal. Tho allegation contained in somo of tho British papers that Lord LaUsdowne has tamely given up Inherent rights without any return Is strenuously denied on tho foregoing grounds. Muy lie Itcjectcd. What Is perhaps moro Interesting even than tho reasons prompting Great Britain to send over Lord Pauncefoto with his draft of a treaty Is the tact that Inner circles ot tho court aro not nearly so sure of ac ceptance of tho convention ns nro somo of the leading papers on both sides of tho water. When tho full terms aro an nounced It Is feared that somo members ot tho senate may still find objections and that the forecasts so tar published, al leging too swoeplng "concessions on tho part of Great Britain," may havo a dolo terlous action. For instance, tho deductlo.i that the proposed trenty In any way reaffirms or extends tho scopo of tho Mon roe doctrine meets with a direct denial by tho Foreign ofllce. For theso and othor reasons Lord Pauncefoto is not likely to affix hlB Blguaturo to tho document until a majority ot the senate shall have lir.d full opportunity for studying Groat Britain's proposal. In tho meanwhile there exists here a .pedes of Indifference and a feeling that, after all, the now treaty may bo pigeonholed on account of some unexpected senatorial objection, though this develop ment would create tho keenest disappoint ment dcsplto Us present stoical anticipa tion. Sues Not n Factor. From a diplomatic source thero has lately emanated a private rumor that the Suez canal Is using financial and other Influence to prevent an agreement being reached on the Nicaragua canal. It has been further reported that this powerful corporation has Joined haiids with sevoral leading American Interests alleged to bo opposed to tho con struction of this latter waterway. Tho As sociated Press learns, however, that In vestigations carried on hero and elsewhere, In which Washington Is not on entlroly dis interested party, reveal that there Is no evidence ot such machinations by tho Suez Canal company, though tho head of ono of tho British Btato departments admitted that tho Nlcaraguan canal would probably rob the Suez canal of nil Its fnr eastern trade. The British government Is the largest stock holder In tho Suez canal, but It does not appear to bo that financial Interests ever entered into tho discussions, ot tho Nlca raguan canal, tho considerations involved therein being regarded as so paramount to any possible loss ot futuro dividends from the Suez Canal company as to bo unworthy ot being coupled with tho subject. Tho actual business ot the Suez Canal company Is all transacted In Paris, where tho secre tary general of tho company said to a representative of the Associated Press; "For us tho Panama and Nlcaraguan projects do not exist. Wo pay absolutely no attention to them. Wo havo never ex ercised any Intluonco to provent either ot those schemes from being carried out and we shall never do sq. We can look for ward to the oventual opening ot either canal with perfect equanimity, as we do not anticipate any appreciable, loss ot In come from their competition. Wo may even benoflt by tho general development ot traffia that tho opening ot a canal across tho American Isthmus may cause. Tbo Panama Canal company Is also Ignorant of any action having been taken by the Sues Canal company against tbo proposed Nlcaraguan canal," DAY FOR RENDERING THANHS Pratidmt Itsits Iii Annual Proclamation, Fixing it on H.Tsmber 28. COMES IN SHADOW OF GREAT SORROW Spite of National Calamity United States Has Abundant Heaaon to Observe Time-Honored Custom. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. President Roose velt today Usued his proclamation fixing Thursday, November 28, as a day of na tional Thanksgiving, it follows: The season Is nigh, when, according to tho tlmc-hallowcd custom of our peoplo, the president appoints a day us the es pecial occasion lor praise nnd thanksgiv ing to God. This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow tor the death ot a great and good president. Wo mourn President McKliiley; we also honored him, and the manner of his death should awaken In the breasts ot our people a keen anxiety for tho country, and at the same time a reso lute purpose not to bo driven by any calamity from the path of strong, orderly, popular liberty, which as a nation we have thus far safely trod. Yet In splto of this great dtsnster It Is nevertheless true that no peoplo on earth hnve such ubundant causo for thanksgiving as we have, the last year In particular having been one of penco and plenty. We huvo prospered In things material and havo been utile to work tor our own uplift ing In things Intellectual and spiritual. Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us and that true homago comes from the heart as well an from tho Hps and shows Itself in deeds. We can beat prove our thankfulness to the Almighty by the way In which on this earth and nt this time each of us does his duty to his fellow men. Now, therefore, I, Theodora Roosovelt, president of the United States, do hereby designato as a day of general Thanksgiv ing, Thursday, the 28th ot this present No vember, nnd do recommend that throughout the land the people cense from their wonted occupations and at tholr sevoral homos and places of worship.' revorently thank the Giver of all Good for the countless blessings ot our nation.

The exact terms In which General Duller, who continues to monopolize conversation In England, advised General White to surrender Ladyamltb, are not yet published nor aro they likely to b in tbo near future. The message, while correct In substance, Is Incorrect textually. Tbo War office Is blamod- for allowing a libel to be circulated on the man It bas already no severely disciplined, but, as a matter of fact, tbo question ot publication of alt the dispatches relating to General Sutler's attempt to relieve Ladysmlth ha now passed out ot War Secretary Brod erlck's hands and will shortly be dealt with by tho cabinet. Lord Russell, the under secretary of war, pointed out to tho representative of the Associated Press that it would be eminently unfair to publish this one dispatch which bos so much stirred up General Buller, his critics and the coun try, without publishing others, which ar) vital to an understanding ot tha one on which the national controversy hinges. To publish the hundreds of messages now on tile at the War office, directly bearing on toe subject, saeana revealing to the public secrets nover Intended to be mado known and the Implication of persona who havo so far escaped any odium. It Is probable that the War office will tako absolutely no action In the matter until Parliament roassembles, when an official report will be ready to answer the request which la sure to be made, to have these disputes placed beford tho House of Commons. General Buller, so far, hns not asked that this be done, nnd tbo official view of tho case Is that he Is not likely to tako any such step. The agitation In favor ot General Buller docs not disturb tho officials of Pall Mall and, with the exception ot a few parlia mentary passages-at-arms, they expect It will blow over, as did the retirement of General Bcovilio.
