HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Colombian Legation Refers Matters to
Home Government.

Certain notifications which the State De-
partment desires in the protocol governing
the construction of the proposed Panama
canal before it assumes the shape of a
treaty have been transmitted by Secretary
Hay to Mr.. Concha, the Colombian minister
here. These relate generally to questions
of control and of sovereignty over the strip
of land through which the canal, if the
Panama route be finally determined upon,
will be constructed. They are designed to
bring the protocol more in harmony with
the provisions of the Spooner amendment
and to facilitate ratification by the Senate
when the instrument reaches that body in
the form of treaty. The Colombian le-
ga ton officials do not feel that the instrnc-
tions they now have are broad enough 10
authorize them to accept the notifications
proposed by Secretary Hay without further
consultation with the home government.
Consequently the matter has been submit
ted by them to their government for further
instructions. The aim of Minister Concha
is to have the instrument in such shape
that when it comes before the two houses
of congress of Colombia for action 1t will
receive favorable consideration.

erations. His fortunes advanced. and he
became mensber of what was to have his
tor1c memory as the 'Bonanza' firm. This
was composed OF William S. O'Brien,
James G. Fair, James c. Flood and John
w. Mackay, the latter owning two-ffths
share. h IL
In 1872 the financial and commercial world
was stirred by thef discovery of what was
known as the y1BonanZa' mines. They were
found in ledge of rock in the Sierra Ne
vadas at Virginia City. The burden of the
precious quartz, containing silver and gold
in almost equal parts, was lodged in what
was called pocket From the principal
mine there was taken out sl50,900,000 in
silver and gold.
His mining done, Mr.. Mackay looked for
new fields. During a summer on the Ri
viera, his attention was drawn to the
cable relations between the United States
and Europe. He was impressed by the
fact that the cable lines were mainly in
foreign ownership, and that the transmits
sion of social and business intelligence was
in the hands of a monopoly. While re-
fleeing upon the situation, he made, the
acquaintance of James Gordon Bennett.
That gentleman held strong views as to
Geographic monopolies. and the result of
many conferences between the two was a
resolution to build an Independent Ameri-
can cable, landing on American soil and I'M
der American control
The Commercial Cable Company was
formed being virtually composed of Mr..
Mackay and Mr.. Bennett. Mr.. Mackay
gave the enterprise personal attention and
went into 1t with enthusiasm and intrepid
ity, but with his accustomed caution. The
result was that when the cable finally was
completed and ready for operations, the
company was not burdened with any I'M
necessary debts. The laying of the cable
brought Mr.. Mackay into a war with the
existing lines. A proposition was made
by the late Jay Gould, representing the
older companies, that rate of 90 cents
should be established. Mr.. Mackay re-
fused to agree to this, but proposed a rate
of 40 cents. This the older companies de-
clined, and at once announced a reduction
to - cents. Mr. Mackay thereupon estab-
lshed rate of % cents, and after a long
contest the older companies finally came
to his figure
To assure the success of the cable and
make 1t independent of rivals, the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company was established
and Is now formidable competitor of the
older Western Union Telegraph Company.
In politics Mr.. Mackay was an earnest
republican and was on terms of intimacy
with republican leaders. His relations with
Gen. Grant were close and affectionate, and
his admiration for Grant in a measure
tinged his political career. While active in
politics, he never held office. When the
senatorship of Nevada offered him in
1888 by both parties he declined, though
earnestly urged to accept by Roscoe Conk-
ling and others with whom he was in close
relations. Senator Conkling was especially
insistent advising his acceptance upon the
ground of public duty, but Mr.. Mackay be-
lieved he could best serve his country by
following the natural bent of his life.

The Alabama editors and their wives who
arrived in Washington Friday night are
finishing up their inspection of the city to-
day, and will resume their journey south
ward this evening.
For two days the sights have been seen
in party formation, but today the order
went out: Every man for himself" Some
were tired out and loafed, others had spe-
cial points of interest to visit, while quite
a crowd, including most of the women of
the party, started early for the monument,
under the guidance of Secretary j. A. Crab
tree of the Alabama Press Association. The
State, War and Navy building was then in
spected by this party, afterward the treas
ury and the Department of the Interior and

An impromptu meeting of the association
was held in the parlors of the hotel this
morning, at which a testimonial of the ap-

For the past eighteen years Mr.. Mackay
had not been actively identified with the
business in this city, but had passed most
of his time in the east, making annual vis-
Its to the coast to look after his property
interests in this state and Nevada. On the
occasion OF his last visit to this city. early
this summer, Mr.. Mackay completed ar
rangements for landing place for the new
Pacific cable, project that he much
interested in.
During a visit in 1892 Mr.. Mackay was
shot and slightly wounded by w. ID. Rip
pey, who had fancied grievance against
him, dating from the stockbroking days Of
the Comstock.
John William Mackay, best known during
recent years as president of the CONNER

Ireland, November 2S. 1881. He came to

Read Bible through M Times.

Ambrose S. Ottey, an old blacksmith
of Cecil county, Md, has been syste-
matically reading his Bible through
and through during the. past thirty
three years. Up to date he has sue
ceeded in reading the Holy Book from
beginning to end a total of III times.
A few days ago he began the 11Sth
reading.
During this extensive study of the
Bible Mr.. Ottey has memorized the de-
tails of Holy Writ and can tell in an
instant the number of letters in the
Scriptures how many times they ap-
pear, the number of chapters in each
book. the number of verses in each
chapter and a great many other par
ticulars which the average man would
find it impossible to commit to MEM
ory.
Mr.. Ottey says that if you want to
read the Bible through in a year you
can do so in an interesting and in
structive manner by reading three
chapters every week day and five on
Sunday.
He has computed the number OF
verses commencing with the various
letters of the alphabet as follows: A,
1858; b, 2,2O7; C, 1888; d, III; e, 2O7;
(, 1897; g. 209; h. 1,164; /, 1.44s; j,

5,2S6; u, SO; V, 81; W. 1896; K. none;
y, 1856; z, II. He has ascertained that
the Bible contains 1,1S9 chapters, 3D.
1913 verses. 77S.697 words and 3,566,4SO

Queen Aiexandra's Views on High and
Low Bodices at Court.

Queen Aiexandra's Views on High and
Low Bodicss at Court.
Some social wiseacres of London are
prophesying that bare shoulders at
daylight functions will not be the mode
during the reign of Alexandra.
Even in the earlier years of her reign
Queen Victoria was short and fat. In
those days she cared more about her
personal appearance than she did later,
and she knew that decollete bodice
was infinitely more becoming to her
than high collar.
So decolletage was the rule at court
functions during Victoria's reign, and
many woman shivered dismally
through drawing rooms and took home
a cold as souvenir of the function.
Queen Alexandra, tall, slender, and
blessed with a throat long enough for
a choker collar, is not averse to decol-
letage, but she favors the high bodice.
At the opening of parliament she wore
a high bodice, blazing with jewels un-
der her mantle of velvet and ermine.
and the rumor has been running
around that permission to wear the
high court bodice will be given.
Many an elderly woman. clinging to a
social responsibility in spite of rheum-
atism. would welcome the change; but
it is doubtful whether even the thin
nest of the younger women would avail
themselves Of the permission. English
women have, perhaps from the habit
gained through court requirement. be-
come so welded to the low bodice that
English decolletage is a proverb, and
that in spite of the fact that few Eng
lish women have beautiful necks and
shoulders.
1t was Bret Harte who eyed dismally
a collection of English women and
when asked his opinion of them sighed
and said they were much like inferior
photographs, over exposed and under
developed"
