PANAMA CANAL PROTOCOL DELIVERED
TO SECRETARY HAY BY SENIOR
CONCHA

Washington March 31.-Senor Concha. the
Colombian Minister, to-day delivered to Secre-
tary Hay definite protocol between the United
der which Colombia will agree to concede the
rights necessary for the construction Of Pan
anna canal. 1t is understood that Colombia
gives unqualified consent to the sale OF the
right of the Panama Canal Company to
the United States Government for S4OOOOOOO
1t is said that the protocol embodies adequate
and satisfactory provisions for the completion.
maintenance. operation. control and protection
of Panama canal by this government.
In view of allegations to the effect that the
Colombian Government endeavoring to bar
gain with the Panama Canal Company for a
portion of the $4,000, 600 which 1t would re-
ceive from the United States, it said posi-
lively to-day that, beyond the 100000 francs
in stock which the Colombian Government holds
in the canal company, no portion Of the $4O.
OO0OOO will revert to Colombia.
1t has been made clear that the protocol de-
ivered to-day withhods the city of Panama
from United States sovereignty. Panama City
is practically the State of Panama. for there Is
no other town of Importance within the State.
The administration of justice within the canal
belt is provided for in the shape of mixed trb-
unaS, and the right to pursue criminals charged
with crimes committed within the limits of the
belt to any part of Colombia is granted. Com
penSation for the canal rights is desired to be in
the shape of an annual rental of about S75O.OOO.
Secretary Hay will give the protocol careful
consideration, and confer with President Roose-
Welt in regard to its provisions If they are
found to be sufficiently explicit and concrete the
convention Will be referred to Congress.

from the prosperity prevailing in Porto Rico that

the Landsthing does its duty by confirming the vote

islands.
1t had been expected that the overwhelming ma

the Landsthing that the affair would have been
promptly settled. The last telegram speaks of
Danish line of steamers, the establishment of sugar
works, etc, proposed by those who are opposed to
the sale With three four lines of steamers
from Europe touching here already, and ct every
port in the West Indies not to speak of others, the
idea is simply laughable. Denmark has very little

Candidates Contest For office

The contest court in the matter of
the contest of F. J. Frey VS.. S. B.
Chapman for the offic, of sheriff,
convened here today. The court IS
composed of Probate Judge T. S.
Spielman. F. L. Raymond of Vera
and J. w. Spencer of Alta Vista.
The contest is brought by Sheriff
Frey, who was defeated for reelected
by S. B. Chapman by ten votes,
according to the official count.
The grounds of Sheriff Frey's con-
test are that many ballots correctly
marked in the circle at the head of
the Democrat ticket were thrown out
because. there were two offices on
that ticket for which no nominations
were made; also many were thrown
out because there was an X mark in
the square opposite these two noml-
nations, the voter marking in each
square on the ticket, with the inten-
ton of voting a straight ticket.
!. B. Barnes and J. T. Keagy are
Mr.. Frey's attorneys and J. ]. Mitch
ell of Eskridge is attorney for Mr..
Chapman. 1t is thought that the
trial of the case will occupy week.
