THE CANAL IS DELAYED
Colombians Too Busy Throat-Cut.
ting to Stop to Hold
Elections.

Washington Oct. 25.-Attorney Gen.
eral Knox made his report on the Valid
ity to the title of the Panama canal to
President Roosevelt to-day. It was an
nounced that the report was very ex-
haustive and covered about 800 pages.
A synopsis of the report Is to be made
public this afternoon at o'clock.
Colombia Delays the Game.
Non-action on the part Of the govern
ment Of Colombia on the pending. 18TH
mian canal treaty is postponing the APP
pointment Of the commission which is to
take charge of the construction Of the
canal. It was at first supposed that as
soon as the attorney general had salts
field himself of the sufficiency Of the
title to the canal property that could be
conveyed by the French company the
way would be clear for the appointment
of the commission and soon after for the
preparation Of the specifications = upon
which the work is to be done. This was
upon the assumption that the agreement
upon the outlines Of the treaty with the
canal company reached in Washington
between the secretary Of state and the
Colombian minister, amounted to a pledge
by the latter in behalf Of his own gov
eminent to promptly ratify such a treaty
Now it has developed that the ratifica-
ton of the treaty is long way off, owing
TO the 1dCC lIldL the COiOulDldN congress
before which the convention must come
has not even been elected up to this time
The delay is attributed to the existence
of a state of war in Colombia, but 1t is
now expected that the country will soon
be so far pacified that general election
can be held and that the congress can
be assembled during the winter months
In this state of backwardness as to the
ratification little attention has been giver
here. to the composition of the United
States canal commission, notwithstand.
ing the fact that owing to the dignity and
desirability Of the places thereon there
have been many tentative applications
for appointment. ~. ..
80 Walker VIII Head 1t. Pigs
!: The one fact relative to the commits.
sion that has developed is that Rear Ad-
miral Walker, who has headed the two
preceding commissions, will be the presi'
dent Of the new commission. It was al
one time suggested that General Leonard
Wood was to have this place, having In
view his peculiar abilities as an execu-
tive officer and as q sanitary director
but it is now said that he prefers to re-
main in his military surroundings and
assume command Of one of the impor-
tant military departments. The sanitary
work outlined for him., therefore, will be
undertaken by one of the regular army
surgeons who has had experience In tropi-
cal countries and Admiral Walker will
retain his connection with the impor-
tant work which he initiated several
years ago.

DELEGATES IN AIR
Dairymen Amazed at Remarks of
Prof. Alvord Who Denounced
Butter Coloring.
Government Expert Very Freely De-
nounced by Members of the
National Association.

Milwaukee, Oct. 25.-The National
Creamery Buttermakers' association con-
vention. came to formal adjournment
yesterday afternoon after a short discus
sion Of minor matters. The next place of
meeting will be settled at later date by
the executive committee.
Earlier in the day, Professor H. E. AL
word, the great butter expert, and chief
of the dairy bureau in the agricultural de-
partment at Washington made a plain
talk which caused a stir.
1.-The .coloring of butter is a dairy
fraud" he said There are frauds and
thefts which differ only In degree and not
in principle, and 1 regret to say that in
some instances our courts punish the
smaller thefts and frauds more severely
than they do the larger ones. Great or
small, a fraud is a fraud.
THE coloring of butter is a fraud, as
well as the coloring of oleo, and I regard
increasing the coloring Of butter as i'm
polite. The general and popular move
ment is toward suppressing food frauds,
especially authorizations, preservatives
and artificial coloring, and I hope to live
long enough to see all fraud and deception
artificial coloring Of pure butter
The dairymen were dumfounded for a
moment, and then there arose a mllrnur
which terminated in something approach
ing a riot. The professor was freely de-
nounceds there being more than one hun
dred men on their feet at the same time.
Charles Y. knight of the National Dairy
union, who is a leading representative OF
the dairy interests, finally got the atten-
ton Of the convention. He said, In part:
II am perfectly astounded to sit In this
convention and listen to so distinguished a
representative Of the national government
advocate principles against which I and
all others who have the good Of the dairy
interests at heart have fought for three
years. What Major Alvord has advocated
IS just what the oleomargarine men want
I most vehemently object to the coloring
of butter being pronounced a fraud
With a very few exceptions the dele
gates were against Alvord, and joined in
the denunciation of his remarks.

Minister Wilson Refuses the Athens
neutrality-suspicious. for
Pardon Granted.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Minister Henry
L. Wilson, who was to have been trans
ferred from Santiago de Chile to Greece.
has declined the transfer and will re-
main minister to Chile, whittier he is now
bound. John B. Jackson, at present Sec
have succeeded Mr.. Wilson, will go to
Athens as minister to Greece, succeed
ing Mr.. Francis, who resigned. -.
Happy Dora Martin.
The president has denied five applica
tions for pardon and granted two COM
mutations Of sentence, as follows:
Joe Martin was convicted in the west
ern district of Arkansas of the murder
Of Ernest Adams and was sentenced to
be hanged. President Harrison, on July
30, 1885, COMMITTED the sentence to i'm
prisonment for life in the Ohio peniten-
tiary, where the prisoner has been con-
fined ever since. The president has COM
muted the sentence to a term OF imprisOn-
ment to expire to-day. He granted this
communication upon the recommendation Of
the attorney general, who, after an ex-
reached the conclusion expressed by Pres
ident Harrison at the time he committed
the death penalty, that there was no evil
dence to prove premeditated murder in
this case, and that the probability. even
If Martin killed Adams, was that he did
SO IN S6l1-Qe1enSe. Among the papers IN
the case is a strong letter, dated Oct. Is,
1902, from H. H. Miller, who was attor-
ney general at the time this prisoners
sentence was committed by President
Harrison.
Dora Martin, the prisoners daughter,
who has benin Washington for asosiie
days watching the proceedings in her
fathers case, leaves tonight TOR the .west
bearing the: official warrant for his re-
lease. + r. =. az p
:" A Boy VIII BE Released. H.,
Charles Newberry was convicted in the
western district of Virginia for resisting
revenue officers, and, with three co-de-
PENDANTS, was sentenced to Imprisonment
for ten years in the West Virginia peni-
Tertiary. 1t appears from the reports in
the case that the prisoner was mere boy
at the time, and while he was present ne
took no active part in the affair. While
it is considered that the sentence Of ten
years imposed upon his three co-defend-
ants is entirely proper, the attorney gen.
eral believes that two and one-half years,
imprisonment would be ample for his petit
toner, and he recommends a commuta-
ton to that term, which the president
granted. This will release the prisoner
on April 1, 1908.
Goldsmith Must Serve. e.,
Among the denials was the case OF
Lewis e. Goldsmith, cashier Of the Ma
tional Bank of Port Jervis, N. Y, con-
victed in 1900 Of embezzling nearly $780,
900 of the banks funds. He Is serving a
sentence Of eight years.

DRUNK AT LEIGH LAKE
Sad Condition of the Indians There
Reported on by Major
Scott.

, ss;;, ne ernss B"rea' Room 80. Poo
Washington, Oct. 25.-Major George B.
Scott, in his annual report to the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, sounds an alarm
about drunkenness among the Indians. He
says the most serious menace to the In
dams on Leech Lake reservation Is the in
crease Of drunkenness among them. This
habit extends to the women and children
and will eventually exterminate the race
If not checked. Notwithstanding the law
forbidding the sale Of intoxicating liquor
to Indians, an Indian can get it without
difficulty in any of the towns adjacent to
the reservation. while drunken Indians
can be seen in nearly every railroad train
in that section. He says:
II have seen a crowd of drunken Indians
drinking from the same bottle ON tho
streets at noon day without being re-
strained by the officers of the law. The
Indians will not tell where they get the
liquor, and the whites don't care about the
Indians anyhow
Major Scott says the allotment to: the
Indians previously made does not seem
to have been done with care, and much
of the work will have to be readjusted.
He says the long delay required by the
provisions of the Morris bill before the
cutting of pine can commence, will Gre
ate more or less discomfort among the
lndlans, OUT no serious opposlt1on Is eS-
pected. : ~ ,1t-'s.,;

Chicago, Oct. 25.--Two teams, each full
of confidence, will come together this
afternoon when the University of Illinois
lines up against the maroons on Marshall
field at Chicago. Both elevens are in the
best possible shape and the one that Is
beaten will have no excuses on the score
of condition or lack Of practice. Illinois
Is said to be one of the fastest offensive
teams that Illinois has ever turned out.
The defense also is said to be good.
- Those who like Chicago and think that
Stages men will win, think so, not because
they have shown themselves to be bet
ter team than Illinois, but because they
will show a marvellous Improvement to-
day over it's work of a week ago.

day, none of them is of really great i'm
