WASHINGTON, July s.-The State de-
partment has decided to press forward
toward completion the Colombia treaty
looking to the acquisition Of right-of-way
Of the isthmlan canal. This is a slight
change in the original plan, which contem-
plated the complete adjustment Of the
question Of title before concluding the
treaty. Secretary Hay, who already has
accomplished the best portion of the work
TO be done in treaty making and has It be-
fore him in the shape of a protocol sub
mitted to the last session Of congress, has
taken steps to give this the form Of a
treaty and to have II signed formally by
accredited representatives Of the govern

SO that the convention may be laid before

department will remove. It lie expected.

thing that may occur as a result Of 'polit-
Meal changes, for 1t issthep purpose TO hold
that such agreements, once duly entered
upon. are not subject TO population. even
IN the event Of a ~changespf government.
The protocol referred to was so definitely
drawn that not any changes are required
In order to adapt the instrument for use
as a treaty.
No dificulty is expected to result in Sc

DETROIT, Mich, July s.-Judge Alfred J.

Judge Murphy said In explanation of his

While It has not developed in court. II

Mr.. Weston was questioned regarding
other roads and his replies we're generally
OF the same nature. He insisted in his
testimony that the board assessed the prop
erty as property Of railroads in actual
operation.

minutes at the close Of the afternoon SEES

Of Mr.. Weston, though not so much in

This afternoon the teamsters decided not

builders nor trainmen had been asked or
expected to strike in order to aid the ma
chinists. All they were expected to do was
to contribute financial support. Mr.. Wilson
said the trainmen had expressed their will
ingness to do this, one OF them saying that
$1,000 could be raised in Omaha within
three days IL necessary.
President o'Connell declares that the
Union Pacific cannot fll the strikers places
with competent men. Those being brought
in he insists are Incompetent men who
have been discharged by other firms.
As to the prospects of an early settle
ment, he says It depends wholly upon the
company's ability or inability to preserve
its motive power. II this can be done for
a few weeks or months a settlement need
not be looked for within that time, but
II the company fails TO keep Its motive
power up to a standard sut1cient to in
sure the operation Of its trains an early
settlement will be made. He expressed
the opinion that the road had not yet been
seriously affected and that 1t might be able
TO run along for some weeks without seri-
Gus handicap.
Asked IL he would ~inaugurate any change
in the MANAGEMENT Of the strike. Mr..
o'Connell said he would not, that things
were being managed satisfactorily and that
no innovation was necessary.
More new Men Brought In.
ofclals OF the Union Pacific said yester-
day that sixteen good nachinists had been
brought into the city within the last
twenty-four hours and put TO work In the
shops, increasing the force to about sixty
six. Two new blacksmiths were employed
beside the new men imported. All the
car builders are at work and things &C
cordins to the ~oficials, are running along
smoothly. The company finds no room for
complaint.
Master Mechanic Barnum said there was
no great demand for any more men than
were on hand and that for his reason there
is no cause for alarm over being able to
get out enough work.

President O'Connell is not afraid that
the Machlnists union will succumb by
prolonged idlsness OF its members. He
said:
I'VE are not feeling the strike thus far
and we can so on for a long time without
feeling 1t. We are not a radical set OF
workmen. but on the contrary are notably
conservative. We so into a strike reluct-
antly, but when we are forced into one
we stay until we have won. Records Of
past strike bears out this statement. On
the Southern railway the machinists were
on a strike for thirteen months and hhally
won. We staid out fourteen months on the
Vermont CENTRAL before we succeeded in
getting our demands and the Chicago
strike recently settled We won after a bat
tie Of more than a year. So you see we
are long-winded fighters.

"our Organization Is thorough. The In

trolls the trade. There Is no question of

~gencles Of the present strike"

tieal OF beneficial. We are able to tight
our own battle. All we ask Of our friends
is to be let alone and that no one seek "a
crowd US out Of our proper place, and Of
this we have not the remotest fear"
In this connection MIR. o'connell emphat-
ieally stated that the refusal OF the cal
builders to strike would have not the
slikhtest effect upon the machinists, unless
Il aided them. The two crafts are so dis
tinetly separated as to make neither at al

DENVER, Colo, July s.-The situation at
the local Union Pacific shops is more critical
than at any time since the strike was be-
gun. A force OF Pinkerton men has been
put in charge of the shops. and the city has
supplied four policemen for protection .
Trouble is not expected from the strikers
themselves. but from s~ympathizers who work
in the thirty or more contract shops Of the
city. Since one Of the workmen was as
ssulted on Sunday night the crowd that
gathers at night has been continually on the
increase and the steps for protection have
been taken as a precautionary measure.
The strikers now assert that they have
all the experienced machinists out but
three, and that all Pf the. b~oilermakers,
blacksmiths and cop1Hsmiths have stopped
work. The strikers continue to patrol the
grounds outside Of the Pinkerton lines.
