Development, OF Oil as a Fuel

Tests at Washington indicate the
great future usefulness of oil a. a
fuel In the navy. Heretofore great
difficulty has been encountered in
causing combustion before the gases
reached the funnel, but now it has

combustion at the front OF the fur
mace. As already noted i'm these

CANAL NEGOTIATIONS
WILL Be RESUMED.
Colombia Convinced That United
States Will Not Tolerate
Quibbling.
REPUBLIC

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Nov. S-Colombia has
learned that the United States will not
endure clubbing over the Panama Canal
treaty. Minister Concha has been instructed
TO proceed with the negotiations Of the
treaty. which he recently delayed because
he was displeased at the course of action
pursued by Rear Admiral Casey in COM
mand of the naval forces on the isthmus.
Mr.. Herran. secretary of the Colombian
Legation. called at the State Department
to-day to learn when Secretary Hay would
return to Washington. He was Informed
that the Secretary would probably be at his
desk again on Thursday. and this led Mr..
Herran to express the hope that the nego-
tiations would be resumed the latter part
of this week. He left a note for Mr.. Hay.
Thus has one of the most serious obsta-
Giles to the completion of the canal treaty
been surmounted. 1t is now believed that
the negotiations will proceed more smooth
~, although at the Colombian Legation 1t
is frankly admitted that the Colombian
Government thinks that at least $l0.o0 0,o0O.
instead Of 100000, should be paid for her
concessions.
Minister Concha has rendered his resigna-
ton to his Government. He sent 1t to Be-
gotta over a month ago, but 1t was not ac-
cepted. and he Will. 1t is generally under
stood. remain in Washington until the ca
nal negotiations are concluded. 1t can be
authoritatively stated that Minister Concha
desires to retire. He will remain here until
the negotiations are concluded.

business men. the aims of which are nom
partisan and nonpo!itical. urges the edop-

needs of the city. The fourth amendment.
If passed. will allow the city TO raise money
for what are known as county purposes.
st. Louis, in respect to the State, is. in
fact, a county. 1t Is urged that this condi-
ton, so long as II is impossible TO raise

handicap.
The sixth amendment will authorize the
voters of st. Louis, two-thirds majority con-
curing. to issue bonds TO an amount be-

ton OF the league. Earl Layman and George
j. Leighton. secretary and president of the
league, say:
If St. Louis. as exempliied in public

Betting on the local election has been
very light. Only a few scattered wagers, Of
