TREATY May Be DELAYED
SECRETARY HAY DECLINES TO
ACCEPT COLOMBIAN TERMS.
Politely Notifies Minister Concha to
This Effect-Matter Referred
to Bogota.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Differences
have arisen between the state depart
men and the Colombian. government
which may delay an agreement on the
terms of a canal treaty beyond the
time in which it had been expected to
conclude the treaty. Secretay Hay
has furnished the Colombian minis
ter, Mr.. Concha, with a memorandum
settling forth the position of this gov
eminent which was prepared by the
secretary after he had received a
similar memorandum from Mr.. Con-
cha defining the Colombian position.
There are differences between the
two which must be reconciled before
a treaty can be drawn. It is apar-
ent that MI. Hay has taken a firm po-
sition and did not adopt all the terms
proposed by the Colombian govern
ment. It is assumed that Mr.. Con-
cha will refer the points at variance
to his government and thus time will
be consumed, as it will take several
days to get a reply from Bogota to
his inquiries. To what extent the diff
]ferences may prove to be obstacles in
the way of a contamination of a
treaty remains to be seen.

it is pressed for final disposition, a
petition is being widely circulated in
this part of the state setting forth
that the people are anxious to have
these lands opened to settlement, and
rather tina nthat the bill be defeated
the petitioners ask that it be amend
ed so that the government will be
paid by the people who take up and
occupy lands within the coded ter
ritory.
1t is the opinion of the Montana
delegation that the adoption of the
change in order to secure the passage
of the measure, will not be necessary,
but the people Of this immediate To-
cality, who are more vitality interest
ed than those residing in other parts
of the state, have urged adoption Of
the latter course, rather than allow
the measure to be defeated.

PRESIDENT GoMPERs COMPLETE.
" ExoNERATED.
FIND NO RIVAL CANDIDATE
James Lynch of the Typouraphical
Union Refuses to Try for Presi.
dency of Federation.

New Orleans, Nov. 21.-President
Gompers has been completely exon
Grated of the charges of infidelity to
the principles of trades unionism said
to have been made by Theodore j.
Shaffer, president Of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers.
The special committee which has
conducted the investigation reported
to that effect this morning before the
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The charges against Mr.. Gompers
fell fiat. The committee reported that
when Mr.. Shaffer appeared before it
he declared that he had not at any
time, either in writing or otherwise,
made any charges against Mr.. Comp
ers\ of infidelity to trades unionism.
nor did he desire to before the COM
mittee.
P. J. Sheridan, who brought up in
the convention the resolution which
resulted in the investigation, was
also at the hearing, and was asked if
it was true that Mr.: Shaffer had made
any charges before the last conven-
ton of the iron, steel and tin work
ers, and he replied that he had. Mr..
Shaffcr denied it. Mr.. Sheridan Of
fered to read the minutes of the meet
ing, at which the charges were said
by him to have been made. Mr.. Shat
fer objected to this, because the min
utes were those Of a secret meeting,
and if read by Mr.. Sheridan, it would
involve him in trouble with his own
organization for divulging the inner
workings of the convention.
me convention decided that the
question of veracity between Mr..
Shaffer and Mr.. Sheridan was some
thing with which it had nothing to
do, and there being no charges
against Mr.. Gompers, there was moth
ing to do but return a finding to that
effect, that Mr.. Gompers was COM
eXonerated.
This was done and the report was
by the convention.
For a time at least all opposition to
election of President Gompers has
died out. Since the refusal of James
winch of the Tv~nnorauhica1 union tn
for the Office, no further effort
has been made to secure a candidate,
nor is it likely at the present time
there will be a rival candidate.
