franchise of the Panama Canal company
VIII be invalid and negotiations can be
carried on directly between Colombia and
the United Sites, is regarded with copsid-
cradle interest in Central and South
American diplomatic quarters here. The
officials of the Colombian legation in
Washington admit that the six years eX-
tension TO the Panama c0mpany's fran
chise. granted by former President San
Clemente. is open to n question of le
gality. for the reason that. while il was
approved by the Colombian cabinet. il
was not ratified by the Colombian con-
gress. Indeed. IL is stated here that the
proposed extension was not even submit
ted to the Colombian legislature, the
country being then in a disturbed cOndi-
ton, which precluded a calling together
of that body.
However. Colombian officials here point
out that the questioned extension of time
has nothing whatever TO do with the
present negotiations between the United
States and Colombia in regard TO the
canal No one in Colombia, they state
questions for moment the validity of
the franchise up to 1904. The intervening
time they consider ample for the clearing

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN JAPAN.
Short Crop of Rice Will Limit the
Food Supply.

Yokohama Aug. 10 (via Victoria, Aug
25l.-The extraordinary weather this year
in Japan makes the prospects OF a good
rice crOp-the main food of the people
very gloomy. The thermometer has hard
ly reached 80 degrees in the open and has
been generally lodging around 90 to %
degrees. Visitors from abroad have been
forced TO retain tweed clothes and at
night blankets are welcome. To COM
plete the discontinue caused by the ell
mate, heavy rain has been falling, cul-
minating in typhOons on July 10 and II.
The wind blew at hurricane velocity, the
river rose six and eight feet, embank-
ments We're carried aways while villages
were inundated, and the reports of loss
of life and damage to property are daily
growing
This topsy-turvy weather, which is so
detrimental to agriculture. is taken phil
osophically by the people They are al
ready figuring on buying rice abroad,
though If the weather were to settle down
it is not yet too late to assure a fair
crop, except in certain districts. where
the fields were completely washed out
by the storm.
Luckily the rain, which is so dangerous
here at this time, fell at the right time
in Korea. A magnificent crop of barley,
which has already been harvested, to-
gether with full rice fields, will put he
Koreans in an enviable position. There
is also a market for their surplus prod

culatiOn of money than has been seen for
several years.

try, the scene of the recent range war,
state that the body of Sam GuietietieZ,

now advanced is that the raiders tied
the body up in a blanket and carried
it into the mountains, where is Was
secreted. The partially burned saddle
and bride of the herder were found
in tho ruins of his camp. which were
burned by the raiders. 1t Il also al
legged that the herder's horse was killed
and burned. for the purpose of making
people believe that Guietietiez had
ridden out os the country.
A letter recently received from the
New Fork country says that the sheep
men are determined TO remain in that
section with their flOcks-that they
have as good a right TO tie open ranges
there as the cattlemen, and propose 10
stand up for their rights.
Efforts are being made to secure the

TWO MEN ARRESTED
Body Found Near Willow Creek,
Wyo., Identified Strong Evil
dence of Murder.
Lsnecial 10 Mo Heraldl

Kemmerer, WyO., Aug. 26.-The body
of the man found OH Willow creek
few days ago has been identified as
that Of George d. Norton, who, the
authorities believe, was murdered,
j. ". Jones and Frank Hutchinson
have been arrested, charged With the
crime. The men confess that Norton
was killed by a bullet from gun held
by Jones, but say that the shooting
was accidental. The men tell the fol-
lowing story:
They were en- route north in wagon
in search of aead, rubber, bottles and
other junk. Near the head waters OF
Green river they met Norton. who said
he would like TO buy an interest in
the business. for he knew where there
was a lot OF junk that could be pur-
chased very cheap. Hutchinson ana
Jones were willing, and Norton bought
in. The men then journeyed north a
distance of fifteen or twenty miles, Sc
cured a load and were returning TO
Diamondville.
At Midway the men put up at a road
house and got full of whisky. 4 quar-
rel eusued. but the matter was ad-
justed, and the next day they con-
tinued their journey. Near Willow
creek they met a sheepherder with a
jug of whisky. and all took big drinks
before going into camp.
While in camp a discussion arose,
and Jones and Hutchinson charges
that Norton jumped up and grabbed a
rife that stood against the wagon.
With this he struck Jones over the
head. and then slipped a shell into
the barrel. Jones grabbed the gun,
and in the struggle that followed ii
was discharged, the bullet entering the
top of Norton's head, causing instant
death .
The authorities say that ii would
have been next to impossible to have
killed Norton in the manner described
by the two men, whose story, it is al
legged. does not correspond with the de-
tails of the killing. Arrangements are
being made to prosecute them yigor-
