Sensational Developments During the Meeting Of City
Council Last Night That Will Astound the
People of Wheeling.
COUNCILMAN R I. NTLLFR'S STRONG ATTACHMENT
OF the Methods Employed in the Interest of Certain
People Whose Applications for License
Have Been Rejected.


The special meeting of the city couN-
Gil held last night was the most sensa-
tionai in years. Although the meeting
had been called for general business, it
was generally understood that the busl-
ness in hand was action on the applica-
tions for liquor license of the ten OF
twelve saloonlsts whose applications
wers recently rejected by council. Pfes-
ident Maxwell nlpped the matter in the
bud by ruling that in the absence of any
recommendation, either favorable or
adverse. from the committee on petit
lions and remonstrances. the appllca-
tons were not properly before council.
So the committee must act one way or
the other before council takes a whack.
But 1t was in an incidental way that
the session became sensational in Its de-
velopments. Councilman Richard Mil
Ter raised the breeze when he asserted
that city Solicitor S. o. BOyce had been
offered $500 by certain persons If he
would give "the right kind" of an opln-
ion on the special bond proposition
made by Otto Fish and Richard wilkle.
Mr.. Boyce. it will be remembered, gave
1.-THE wrong kind" of an opinion for
these men, ana while out 5000 he re-
tains his self respect and has made
thousands of friends among the people
Of Wheeling. Mr.. Miller also asserted
that a councilman had been offered $500
to remain away from a meeting of
council in the interest of rejected ap.
pllcant; later in the session Mr.. R. II,
Chew said he was the member to whom
the bride had been offered, and that 1t
had been offered in the interest of G. a.
Landmesser & Co.. owners of the
"whlte Cloud" in the Second ward.
Naturally, these disclosures created a
great stir, and when they become gen.
orally known throughout the city this
morning many people will doubtless be
pstounded that such boldand unscrupu-
lOus tactics have been employed in the
interest of rejected applicants for liquor
licenses. The probable effect of the dis
closures Will be to sound the death
knel. SO far as there remaining any
chance for any of the rejected ones to
secure license from council,
1t is said. too, that efrOrts will be
made to have the person or persons
who attempted to bride Messrs. Boyca
and Chew indicted by the criminal
court grand jury. which meets late this
month, or early in June.
In the second branch there were pres
ent twenty-four members, with PresI-
dent Maxwell in the chair. In the first
branch the members present numbered
twelve, with Mayor Sweeney presiding,

he wanted to denounce the statement as
an unmitigated falsehoOd He expressed
surprise that an amateur in the House
should make the charge. Mr.. Lentz said
he did not know how a man was TO pro-

but he desired to say in the teeth OF any
man who asserted that he ;Lentz) was

Mr.. Payne of New York called Mr.. Lentz
to order for this statement to which Mr..
Lentz retorted that he intended to resent

Iowa that it could not be expected that
he would be more parliamentary than
was that gentleman.

attention to the fact that he had under

Mr.. Lentz-'I was told that he had done
so humorously.''
Mr.. Mcpherson said he wGuld not have
spoken again had it net appeared that his
withdrawal was not to be allowed to

when it appeared unless it was very care
fully revised would show that he was in
such intimate relations with a Chicago

Mr.. Lentz stated that that correspond
ence was held two years ago and con-
sisted Of n single dispatch sent in answer
to the question 'HOw much postage do

business. not the publishing business. and
it paid s29I, 900 postage in the year pre-
vious to the one in which the dispatch was
sent
Mr.. Burke of Texas also spoke in sup
port of the bill. Two out of the 20D news
paper publishers in his district had writ
ten asking him to oppose the bill. IF
every newspaper publisher in the State of
Texas was opposed to the bill and l be-
lieyed it to be right and proper l would

The bill was opposed by Messrs. Snod-

SENT TO THE SENATE.
Correspondence of the United states
of Colombia on Panama CanaI.

of Colombia ON Panama Canal.
The President yesterday sent to the
Senate. in response to a resolution, the
correspondence between the State Depart
ment and the United States of Colombia
in relation to the Panama Canal, and to
the treaty between the two Governments,
signed in 1916. under which the United
States undertook to guarantee the neu-
trality of the Isthmus OF Panama and he
sovereignty of the United States of Co.
lombia. The correspondence comprises
more than a thousand pages of printed
and typewriter matter. nearly all Of
which has been published heretofore, either
by the Senate as a document or by the
State Department in its annual issue of
foreign relations.
One Of the most important documents
not before made public is a strong argu-
ment by Secretary Eyarts against per-
mitting the Panama Canal TO be used by
an enemy of the United States in time of
war, which has a direct application TO
the present Hay-Pauncefote convention.
II is a communication from Mr.. Eyarts to
United States Minister Dichman at Bo-
gotta, dated April 19, 1880, Immediately
after the former concessions for the Pan
anna 4Canal had~been transferred tc d. de
Lesseps. This action was taken without
consultation with tn American Govern
ment, and A. warts directs Minister

Government the surprise Of the President
that in view OF the existing treaties the
Bogota officials had not deemed..t e nat
urai and suitable 10 inform The State De
partment By -the treaty Of 1876 the
United Si2tes were the guarantors OF the
neutrality Of any inter oceanic canal
through the Isthmus of Panama ard of
the sovereignty OF Colombia over the ter
ritory through which it passed. IF we
are rightfully informed" tine Secretary
continues, mo other Government has
been willing to come into any such treaty
relations with Colombia, and today such
a canal. by whomsoever completed, would
need rest upon the stipulated protection
of the United States.
The treaty OF 1876 is still in force And
If the language of the eighth article of the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty OF 1850 between the
United States and Great Britain be ac-
cepted as indicating the willingness of the
United States that other nations should
share the rights and obligations of the
guarantee of the treaty Of 1916, it is
equally clear that such participation could
only be attained by some new diplomatic
engagements in which the United States as
contracting party. Both the treaty of 1916
and the Clayton Bulwer Treaty of 1850
would judge of and define the circum-
stances and stipulati0ns under which il
would accede to such new engagements"
