THE GORMAN BALLOT LAW.
Democrats Now Think Their Bill
Will Pass Maryland Senate.
Disfranchises Voters

Annapolis, Md. March 13.-The Demo-
cratic leaders are breathing more freely
tonight, for when the Senate adjourned
at II O'Clock it was practically certain
that the new election bill, popularity
known as the Acknowledgement bill'
will become a law. Nothing but an acct
dent which cannot be foreseen can now
prevent its adoption, and in such form as
t. fully carry out the purpose of its pro-
motors which is 40 make it almost if
not quite impossible for an illiterate vot-
er in Maryland to cast his ballot intelli-
gently. Up to tonight it has been con-
sidered doubtful if Senator Applegarth
Of Dorchester a Democrat would vote
for the bill. Without his vote ii would be
impossible to pass the bill finally, unless
the presence of Senator Claggett of
Prince Georges could be secured. This
seriously ill in Philadelphia, and his ply
sicians forbid his removal at this time.
II was therefore a source OF intense sat-
iSfaction to the leaders when Senator
Applegarth tonight voted with his fell
low Democrats to order the bill engrossed
for it's third reading and final passage.
The bill, in its amended form, will prob
ably be put upon its final passage through
the Senate tomorrow after which 1t will
go back to the House of Delegates for ac-
ton on the Senate amendments That the
House will concur in these there is little
doubt, and the enactment of the bill into
a law at an early day seems certainty.
The bill to provide for census of the
people of the state, TO be taken by state
enumerators. passed the House to-day by
a vote of 81 10 %, one Democrat voting
against it,

A MISSIONARY TOWN.
Waycross MethOdists Arc Spreading
Themselves.



Waycross, Ga, March 13-The Metho-
dist churches of Waycross are certainly
spreading themselves so far as mission
AIRY effort is concerned A few days ago
the story was told in these dispatches
how Trinity, the youngest Methodist
Church in town, was supporting Rev. Mr..
Pilley, a missionary in China, in add-
tion to having Mrs. Georgia Jones
of this city employed as
home missionary to look after the poor
and needy, the sick and the suffering in
Trinity congregation as well as in the
entire city.
First Methodist Church, the mother
church In Waycross is not being left be-
hind in missionary effort.
That church has undertaken the work
of supporting a foreign missionary,
beginning with the first of
this year They support Rev. George N.
MacDonell, who is serving as a mission
AIRY in Cuba, and have already paid the

THE CHINESE INDEMNlTTES.
Final Agreement still Distant, Says
Mr.. RockhIII-The outlook Not
m Pleasing One.

Washington. March 1S.-Mr. Rockhill,
special United States commissioner at
Pekin, has not yet been able to inform
the State Department of the character
of the agreement said to have been
reached by the foreign ministers relative
to the basis of indemnity claims, though
he has been in communication with the
department on the general subject. It is
apprehended that the final agreement is
still distant. The pursuance of the pun
tive expeditions and the insistence of
some of the ministers upon designating
more Chinese notables for execution Is
regarded here as sure to result in the
failure of the negotiations If persisted in,
and Mr. Rockhil is using all of his pow
ers, by express direction of the depart
ment, to induce the ministers and mil
itary powers to cease what are regarded
as ruthless and bloody measures.

Indianapolis March 13,-Since Gen. Har-
rison's retirement from the presidency he
had devoted himself almost entirely to
his law practice, his only public service
being his appearance in 1898 as counsel
for Venezuela in the South American re-
public's dispute with England over her
boundary line. Notwithstanding his large
law practice Gen. Harrison has devoted
much time since retiring from the pres
ldency to amusement and social
intercourse. He attended the theater
receptions, was great diner-out, and
was at al lsocial gatherings one of those

He attended local musical concerts, was
president of the University Club, which
ne assisted in organizing three years,
was member of the Indianapolis ORA
matte Club, and made many informal So
cial calls. In all these affairs he was
attended by Mrs. Harrison.
Gen. Harrison loved a good dinner and
a bright social atmosphere of witty con-
versation to go with it. He accepted in
vtations to dine out freely and little
dinner parties at his own home in honor
of intimate friends were frequent.

THE PANAMA ROUTE.
Colombia Ready to Rring About an
Arrangement for Constructing
the Canal.

Washington, March 1S.-Senor Martinez
Silva, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the
republic of Colombia and at present ac-
credited as Colombian minister to Wash
ington. had a conference with Secretary
Hay to-day, in connection with the in
formal discussion concerning the Panama
canal route lying within Colombia. 1t
cannot be said that any formal negotia-
tons are under way. or are even open,
but the presence of Senior Silva here at
this time gives assurance that il there
is any disposition on the part of the
American authorities to take up the
canal question with the Colombian gov
eminent, the latter government is now
disposed to remove any obstacles on her
part in the way of the adoption of tlrat
route. Thus far the discussion has been
of a preliminary character tending to
bring out what the respective parties de
sire.
1t is recognized that there are three
parties to any negotiations which would
be undertaken. namely the United States
government, the Colombian government
and the French company which holds the
concession to bunld the canal. The pur-
pose is to see if there is any means of
reconciling the interests and desires OF
all three parties. DR.. Silva said to-day
that the French projectors had a conces-
sion which had been renewed foH six
years, but if the American government
desires 90 consider the Panama route, he
said, there can be an arrangement effect
ed to meet the requirements set forth in
the recent report of abe Walker commits
sion. For the present no definite propo-
sition. has been submitted by the Colom-
therf l,oxv ,.eA
yet to Indicate just what form a propo-
sition might take.
