MUST MODIFY THE PROTOCOL.
Colombia Wants to Retain Too Much
Sovereignty In Her Canal Deal.

Washington. July 20.-Certain modi-
fications which the State Department
desires in the protocol governing the
construction of the proposed Panama
canal before it assumes the shape of
a treaty have been transmitted by Sec
rotary Hay to Mr. Concha, the Colom-
bian minister here. These relate gen
orally to questions of control and of
sovereignty over the strip of land
through which the canal, If the Pan
anna route be finally determined upon,
will be constructed. They are design
ed to bring the protocol more in har-
mony with the provisions of the Spoon
er amendment and to facilitate ratifi-
cation by the Senate when the instru-
ment reaches that body in the form of
a treaty. The Colombian legation Off
Gals do not feel that the Instructions
they now have are broad enough to
authorize them to accept the modifi-
cations proposed by Secretary Hay
without further consultation with the
home government. Consequently the
matter has been submitted by them to
their government for further instruc-
tons. The aim of Minister Concha
is to have the instrument IN such shape
that when it comes before the two
houses of Congress of Colombia for
action, it will receive favorable con-
sideration by them.

Suppress 1t at Nebras ska City not n
Success.


Lincoln, Neb., July 2O.-A telephone
message from Nebraska City says
there was a riot at the baseball grounds
there this afternoon, when the Law
and Order League attempted to pre-
vent the game. A warrant sworn out
by members of the league was placed
into the hands of Sheriff Brewer for
the arrest of the two teams. When he
arrived on the grounds an angry
crowd surrounded him. His revolver
was taken away. He succeeded in ar
resting four players and took them
to a Justices office, where they were
placed under bonds.
A number of city pastors were at the
Justices office, and when they left,
friends of the players threatened them.
A rock was thrown at Rev. c. NJ. Shop
perd of the Methodist Church, striking
companion and knocking him down.
Mr.. Shepherd was chased to his. home.
Later, alleging that his life had been
threatened and that church property
was in danger, Mr.. Shepperd appealed
to the Mayor for a police. guard for
himself and the church property, and
it was promised.
To-day's outbreak is the outcome of
a long and bitter fight between the
Law and Order League and friends of
Sunday ball. The question was put to
a vote of citizens yesterday and there
was practically a unanimous vote for
Sunday ball. Members of the league,
however, refused to participate in the

CROSSING OCEAN IN LAUNCH.
The Little AbieI Abbot Low, With
Her Kerosene Engine, Is Having a
Pleasant Voyage.

fleasUnt voyage.
New York, July 2O.-The Abiel Abbot
Low, a 3S-foot launch equipped with
kerosene oil engine, in which Capt.
Henry Newman, a well-known boat
man, accompanied by his 16-year-old
son, sailed from College Point, l.. l., on
July 8, on a 3,OOO-mile voyage to Fal-
mouth, England, was reported having
been spoken by two vessels which
reached this port to-day.
Capt. Ivon of the French bark Tour
vile from Nantes, reports having
sighted the little craft on July 10 in
latitude 40: 33 north and longitude 81: 80
west, but it was so far away that he
could not communicate with the foccu-
pants of the boat.
The American liner ST. Louis from
Southampton and Cherbourg also re-
ported having sighted the Low. The
little boat exchanged colors with the
big liner on July Is in latitude AL
north, longitude 5535 west. The two
occupants seemed to be in the best of
spirits and waved their caps to the
officers and passengers of the ST.
Louis.
Capt Newman, before sailing from
this side, said he expected to reach
England in less than thirty days. In
the nine days she had been to sea
when sighted by the st. Louis she had
covered approximately a distance of
875 miles-almost a hundred miles per
day-at which rate she should reach
her destination, if not mishaps befall
her, in a months time.

THE vATlCAN'S MISTAKE.
Recognition by United States, Says
Paris Temps.

Paris, July 20.-The Temps, COM
menting on the negotiations between
William Fl. Taft, governor of the Phil
ippines, and the Vatican, says:
Notwithstanding the courteous lam
guage used by both sides, the Vatican's
reply to Gov. Tafts last note is tanta-
mount to a rejection OF the American
offers, which amounted to nothing less
than the conclusion OF regular con-
cordat with the United States. The
signature of such a convention would
have given the apostolic delegate in
Washington a sort of diplomatic exc
quatur, permitting him to confer di-
rectly with President Roosevelt or the
government without the intermediary
of an American citizen, such as Arch
bishop Ireland. The Vatican in refusing
TO lend hand In the gradual expulsion
of the congregations from the Philip
pines has at the same time stified the
germ of an American concordat, which
would have been a triumph for the
policy the Pope has seemed so ardent
ly to pursue since his advent"
