A LONG WAY OFF.
Ratification of Canal Treaty by TIN
CnIOr,f.3.r Ccrorp,,or,t

Ratification of Canal Treaty by the
Colombian Government.
WASHINGTON, October lo.--Non-action
on the part of the Government OF Colon
bia on the pending isthn{an canal treaty
is postponing the appointment of the
commission which is to take charge of the
construction Of the canal / as at first
supposed that as soon as the Attorney
General had satisfied himself of the suffi-
cheney Of the title to the canal property
that could be conveyed by the French
company. the way would be clear for the
appointment of the commission and soon
afterward for the preparation of the spec
inca lions upon which the work is to be
done. This was upon the assumption that
the agreement upon the outlines of the
treaty with the canal company reached
in Washington between the Secretary OF
State and the Colombian Minister
amounted to pledge by the latter in be-
half OF his own government to promptly
ratify such treaty. Now it has de-
veloped that the ratification of the treaty
is long ways or owing to the fact that
the Colombian Congress. before which the
convention must come. ms It even been
elected up TO this time. The t4e{a@ is
attributed to the existence of q state OF
var in Colombia. but it is now expected
that the country will be so far pacif1eo
that general elections can be held ana
that the Congress can be assembled du.
ring the winter months.
In this state of backwardness as to
ratification, little attention has been given
here to the composition Of the United
States Canal Commission. The one fact
relative to the commission that has de-
veloped IS that Rear-Admiral Walker
who had been a member Of the two pre-
ceding commissions. will be a member Of
this commission. q

ire deemed too slow to meet the de-
mards Of what is called modern progress.
and when novel and accelerated notions
nave invaded the businss. the politics.

our people. How can we be certain that
old and heretofore approved theories of
higher education are in no danger OF
being caught in this furry? Already
there seems to be an inclination abroad
20 adjust the methods Of university and
college instruction to the apparent needs
Of advanced conditions and new e1igen-
cies. We hear much said in favor OF
but slight restriction upon the election
by students of the branches of study they
will pursue; it is often asserted that the
old course of college study is too long.
md that students are thus belated in
their entrance upon life's activities; and
considerable discussion prevails in uni
versity and college circles concerning the
extent and quality Of instruction that
should be afforded in preparatory schools.
"Princeton's conservatism is one OF her
chief virtues: but it is not of the stub
born sort that refuses consideration Of
changes which promise through their in
lerent and independent merit better edu-
