FIRE is STILL RAGING.
Later Reports From Jennings, La,
Show Situation Very Critical.

New Orleans, July 16.-The Picayune's
special from Jennings, dated 1890 a. M,
July IS, says:
News just received from the oil field
reports the situation as being extremely
critical. The fire has burned all of the
packing cut of the valve and the flame is
growing larger. At IL o'clock the brass
melted out of the valve and the flames
are shooting as high as the derrick
1t is expected that the top of the pipe
will burn off and the flames will spread
to the derricks and the adjoining tanks.
President Alba Haywood stated that an
attempt would be made between now and
morning to smother the flames A huge
cone of quarter or eighth inch iron
about ten feet in height and six feet
diameter is being made and will be taken
out as soon as finished. A wire cable
has been stretched from one of the der
ricks to a pole and the cone will be
slid along on this until it is over the
well. then dropped.
This plan will be tried in case the chem
ical engine, which is expected from Beau
mont fails to quench the fire.
The flame is growing stronger, for the
reflection of 1t can now be seen from
this city.

PANAMA CANAL
SCHEME SHELVED
Negotiations VIII Stop Until
Secretary Hay Returns
COLOMBIAN MINISTER BUSY
In Preparation Of the Canal Treaty the
Temper Of American Congress
and the Colombian Legisla-
ture Must Be Considered.

Washington, July IA definite ar
rangement which will shelve the Panama
canal matter in it's diplomatic phase till
the return of Secretary Hay from his
vacation. it is believed, will be effected
before the end of the current week. While
Mr.. Cromwell, for the Panama Canal
Company, has been busily engaged in
questions dealing with the clearances of
title. Senior Concha, the Colombian minis
ter, and Mr.. Heron, first secretary of
legation, have been informing the Colom-
bian government of the status of the
diplomatic negotiations. There are a num-
Der of matters hanging on the question
of sovereignty, which might be cited, and
he has sent several cablegrams to Bo-
gotta explaining to the officials there the
nature of the notifications which must
be made In the treaty before it can be
presented for signature. A reply is ex-
pected to these communications before
the end of the week.
The ministers expect to present the
answer to Colombia to the proposed modi-
fcatlons this week and then to set aside
the matter until the autumn.
In the preparations of the canal treaty,
the known temper of the American. Con-
gress and that of the Colombian legisla-
ture must be taken into consideration and
reconciled as far as possible. 1t is be-
lieved the United States government will
profit by Its unpleasant experience with
the ;'.n'sll Net / c an treaty and he'd
that the canal convention must be rat
flied by Colombia instead of by the Uni
ted States This ratification requires a
majority vote from both houses of the
legislature.
The notifications to the treaty are i'm
hcrtant ones, as they touch the main
point at issue between the two countries
sovereignty over the canal strip, and
are not to be settled without mature con-
sideration.

School Days.
They Are in Excess Of Those for the
Entire Month Of September
f., s..... .,.. in 1909. -.

Here's another population pointer: In
eight school days of September this year,
the Minneapolis public schools have re-
ceived LILO more pupils than they did
for the entire month of September in
1901. Superintendent Jordan could hardly
believe his eyes when he scanned the foot
ed columns this morning. He knew that
youngsters were piling into the. school
houses at a rate to make the walls bulke,
but as new pupils are received through
out the whole month, he didn't expect to
find last years record passed SO quickly.
With nine more school days in September
to hear from, the total registra tion, for the
month promises to reach figures which
shall add to the insignifcance of the al
ready shattered record. III. = Z. ~. .:s:ia.
This. years increase in attendance is
proportionately about as: heavy in the high
schools as in the graded institutions. Cen
tral in, the eight days of this school year,
by 1875; the East high by 122, the North
high by 80 and the South high by 80. Ii
the grade schools the biggest gain is re
ported from Prescott, Taylor street and
Twenty-fifth avenue NE, which is already
146 ahead of last September. Bremen, Ere
mont and Thirty second avenues N, is q
close second with 143, while Seward, Tween
fourth and Twenty-eighth avenue S, has
1874 ahead of last years figures:
These figures are significant not only
from their bearing on the, school situation,
but because they show an increase ii
population well distributed over the entire
city
