CANAL TREATY
WITH COLOMBIA
Dr.. Kerran Will Meet and Con-
fer With Secretary Hay
To-Day.
lBx associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., December O.
Following the change in the Columbian
negotia tons reported yesterday, steps
have been taken to Immediately resume
the exchanges between the State Depart
nlent and the Colombian legation with
a view TO the perfection of a canal
treaty. DR.. Herran, who is to conduct
the negotiations for Colombia, has an
appointment to meet Secretary Hay to-
ntorrow.
It is understood that there are no ma
teriaI changes in the Instructions under
which DR.. Herran is to act as compared
With those given TO Senior Conchas.
It is now known that what was re-
garded as the most difficult problem to
sclve has been successfully met by the
negotIa tons in the arrangement of the
perpetual control clause OF the pro-
iected treaty. Under this the United
States may hold the necessary strip of
land Indefinitely. The real difference
now is as to the compensation to be paid
Colombia which seeks an increase of
annuity to the sum of more than half
a million dollars per annunl.

Juries in Colorado seem to be opposed

In that case the condemned was a negro

Of pardons committed the sentence 10

at Canon City is now equipped with a
hanging apparatus, but Secretary G. A.

has been suggested that Colorado adopt
Utah's example and allow the con-
demned to choose whether he will be
