ternoon, just as the afternoon crowd was

THE CANAL PROTOCOL.
Colombian Legation Sends Papers
Home for Further Instructions.

Washington. July H.-Certain modifica-
lions which the state department desires
in the protocol governing the construc-
ton of the proposed Panama canal be-
fore it assumes the shape of n treaty
have been transmitted by Sec. Hay 10
Mr. Concha. the Colombian minister here.
These relate generally to questions of
control and sovereignty over the strip of
land through which the canal, If the Pan
anna 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 Il treaty.
The Colombian legation officials don't
feel that the instructions they now have
are broad enough to authorize them to
accept the notifications proposed by Sec.
Hay without further consultation with
the home government. Consequently the
matter has been submitted 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 Con-
gress of Colombia for action. ii will. re-
ceive favorable consideration by them.

A Time Of Anxiety
for Thousands
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Will Danish the Summer Blues and
Other Distresses That Make
Life Miserable and
Unhappy.

This is the season when we hear men
and women complaining about their
unhappy and half-dead condition. They
find that physical and mental energy
has deserted them, ard they are sink
ing deeply in the pit of dependency.
The hot summer weather always
produces thousands of miserable feel
ing mortals. They lack nerve force.
strength ana true vitality. They can
not rest day or night. and life becomes
a burden
The great reouperator. builder ana
strength-giver for all weary. wornout
and suffering people is Paine's Celery
Compound, now so universally pre-
scribed by medical men. When the
great medicine is used at this season,
languor, dependency. irritability,
nervousness. sleeplessness. headache,
dyspepsia, and digestive troubles are
permanently banished, and men and
women go about their duties and
work with a vim. will. and energy that
indicate health and physical strength.
Mr. J. Fl. Clark. Newark, Del. who
was in a critical condition Of health
from troubles extremely common in
summer time. writes thus about his
marvellous rescue from death:
when l was attacked with nervous
prostration. I went to one of our local
doctors. / continued to grow worse,
and consulted other physicians. but
with very little apparent good. No
tongue can express or pen describe
my feelings and suffering from this
terrible disease. After spending con-
siderable money in the vain hope Of
being cured, l was led to try Paine's
Celery Compound. and it is this medi-
cine which enabled me to enjoy the
health l now have. After the torture
experienced night and day for years,
the change is wonderful.

gers on board. was sunk by the tug
Hansa on the river Elbe. at 1880
O'Clock this morning. So far as ascer-
tanned about so persons We're drowned.
Thirteen bodies already have been re-
covered.
The Primus was an excursion
steamer from Buxtehude, province of
Hanover Prussia.
The disaster occurred between
Blankenese and Nienstedten. Among
Eilbeck Male Choral Society.
AT the time of the accident, the
Primus was crossing the river channel
near Blankenese, from the southern in
to the northern fairway. According
to witnesses aboard the Hansa the
movement was made too precipitately.
The Primus struck the tugs engine
room and the Hansa endeavored to
push her ashore, but the tug grounded
soon and the ships parted. The
Primus then sank.
In the interval, however, about so
passengers We're able to reach the
Hansa by means of ropes and ladders.
Seventy more We're picked up by the
tug boats, while others swan ashore.
The disaster caused deep gloom here.
Many children lost both their parents.

working people. There We're no for
eign passengers.

Elbe She was built in England in 1914
and has never before met with accident.
The neutrality-suspicious. Line issued a
statement to the effect that the weather
was fine, the moon was shining and that
both vessels were steering absolutely
clear of each other. Suddenly the Prmus.
when about $50 feet from the Hansa, put
her rudder hard aport and crossed the
bows of the latter. This mistake" con-
tinues the statement, rendered COLI
sion unavoidable. The only possible step
for the Hansa to take, namely to go full
speed astern, was carried out immediate
ly, but without avail"
Less than minute elapsed between the
Primus changed her course and the col
lision. Boats were lowered from the
Hansa and ropes and ladders were thrown
over. Fifty persons were rescued by the
boats. AT the same time the Hansa tried
to push the Primus ashore. but being Of
deeper draught, grounded herself before
the passenger boat The Primus floated
down stream and sank 900 feet from the

THE LATiMER CASE.
Brooklyn Man Suspected of Murder
An Arrest Is Expected.

New York, July 21.-New and start
ling evidence was discovered, Satur-
day, tending to prove that Albert c.
Latimer was murdered by the son of
welltO-do Brooklyn parents, man
who has been practically cast adrift by
his family, and who has q record as Il
criminal in a small way. The man un :
der direct suspicion is member of an
organization known as 1.-The Bedford
Avenue Hounds which gained much
unpleasant notoriety at the time of the
murder of Walter Brooks and the trial
of Florence Burns.
1t is not due to the efforts of the
Brooklyn police that a promise is given
of light upon the mystery that has sur
rounded the Latimer case. All of the
late developments have come from the
efforts made by private detectives en-
ployed by the Royal Arcanium, Of
which organization Mr.. Latimer was 4
member. One of these detectives an
nounced. Saturday. that he was ready
to place his information in the hands
Of the police if they y hld act in a
wise manner. but ting would not

such police incapacity as has been dis
played in the last week.

and Reynolds of Brooklyn, an arrest
may follow the ending of the inquest
into the death of Albert c. L4atimeri
who was mysteriously shot in his home
in Hancock street, Brooklyn, by a night
intruder, Capt. Buchanan admitted
the receipt of an anonymous letter, In
which it was stated that two servant
girls employed in a house near the
I.atimer residence, could give impor-
tant testimony.
| The girls were found, and, the cap

| window on the night of the shooting
They stated that they heard no shots
but think they saw a man leave tht
house later. When questioned closely
they said it might have been a police
man whom they saw enter. The girls
were quite sure they saw man OF
