LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Daily Graphic,
in an editorial on the South and Central
American troubles, says: The situation is
almost intolerable and occasions a very
legitimate anxiety in the United States.
Unless orderly government is established
on a firm foundation the eventual perma-
nent intervention of the United States will
become inevitable"
Comparing the situation to that Of Egypt
when the Suez canal was cut 1t says: The
republics of the isthmus will experience the
same fate of Egypt unless they amend
their manners before the interoceanic canal
is completed"
The Times SAYS: mo exception can be
taken to Mr.. Hays attitude toward the
Central American trouble. 1t is natural
that the United States should take meas
ures for the due protection Of their own in
terests and those of other nations, of
which they are in some measure the trus-
tee, and it could be wished that those
measures might have the effect OF exer-
cising that moral influence over the turbu-
lent and distracted republics which 1t is
the peculiar right and special privilege of
the United States to exercise within rea-
sonable limits. The Monroe doctrine has
duties as well as rights, ana IL Is no eA-
travagant conception Of those duties to re-

NEW YORK, Aus. 22-rhe establishment
OF a publishers clearing house was dis
cussed at to-day's session of the convention
OF the National Association OF Newsdeal-
ers. Booksellers and ~Stationers. A reso-
luton was adopted reciting that the book

prices for books, and urging the associa-
ton TO establish In this city a publishers
clearing house for the convenience of both
local and country dealers.
The convention urged the increase of the
price of penny morning newspapers, on
the ground that il was impossible for the
dealers 10 make a living out OF morning

ECUADOR AND COLOMBIA.
No Danger of War between the Two
Neutrality-suspicious. Defeated.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The Colombian
minister, DIR. Martinez Silva, to-day re-
ceived all official letter from the minister
of Colombia at Quito, Ecuador, which re-
ports an engagement near Tomaco, in
which a force of Colombian revolutionists
were defeated and arms, ammunition and
prisoners taken. TIL letter also discloscs
the satisfactory condition of affairs be-
tween Ecuador and Colombia and disposes
of reports that an armed invasion by
Ecuadorean troops was to be apprehended.
The minister at Quito does not refer to any
trouble with the government OF Ecuador.
He states that almost all the revolutionary
chiefs who had fled from Colombia and
taken refuge in Ecuador had gone back to
Colombia, DR.. Silva considers this an ex-
PLANTATION of the recent press reports that
a force from Ecuador was about to invade
Colombia and fight a battle near Paste.
Concerning the engagement near Tomaco,
the letter states that General Palasius,
commandment of the city. of B~arbacausa,
which had been recovered by the govern
ment, was in command of the government
forces. The revolutionary force was on its
way to TomacO, on the Island of Gaille.
Reference to the map makes it evident
that the engagement referred TO at Tomaco
is the same movement referred TO In the
press dispatches as going on near Paste.

The Colombian minister, DIR. Martinez

eeived by the Associated Press from Pres
ident Castro, Of Venezuela, through his
secretary. and from President Altar. of
Ecuador. DIR. Silva spoke without criticism
and confined his remarks TO pointing out
certain essential points which these mess
ages from the two presidents made clear.
In conclusion h said: Altogether. the
messages seem TO be reassuring as TO the
fact that no actuaI war, in the sense ac-
cepted by international authorities. exists
or Is probable. am perfectly sure that
la the revolutions in Venezuela there Is
not one Colombian. | also am well in
formed that the Colombian authorities on
the frontier have made the utmost efforts
TO prevent Colombian territory from being
made the base for revolutionary move
ments into Venezuela"

According to the statement Of a Presby-
terrain pastor in New Jersey bogus doctors
of divinity are turned out just as bogus
doctors of medicine are. and are supplied
with degrees from a diploma factory in
Chicago. The pastor says he knows of
three such doctors Of divinity in his own
presbytery, and that the alleged univer-
sity alluded to makes a practice of can
vassing for patrons. He substantiates his
statement by publishing correspondence
with the flake" institution showing that it
carries on a regular business in comforting
degrees for a fee. The obvious tendency
of the practice is to bring even honest de-
grees into d~isrepute.
