THE PANAMA GOVERNMENT.
Some Of the Treaty Clauses Colombia
May Oppose.

Washington July 18.-Secretary
Hay will be able to submit q treaty
with Colombia to the senate when
it meets next December. In fact a
treaty has been agreed to by the sec
rotary and the Colombian minister.
The president of Colombia has approx
ed that treaty. But since the passage
OF the SpoOner act, Secretary Hay
suggested certain amendments to the
treaty to make it more in harmony
with the spirit of the debate in con
gress on the canal question.
The secretary Of state desires that
the treaty shall be so acceptable to the
senate that it will be promptly fati-
fed without any attempt to amend it
or delay it. He has suggested amend
ments which Minister Concha has
sent to Bogota to be approved by the
president. Some of these were sent
Ly cable and some by mail. They re-
late to the payment for rental of the
territory leased, to the means of de-
Tending the canal, and the control over
the termini Of the canal. Congress
would v consent to the payment OF
a large bonus for the concession and
yearly payments as provided for in
the concession to the Panama com
pany. That is the one point where
there is likely to be a hitch. The Co
lombian government now receives
large annual payments from the Pan
anna railroad. and does not want to
surrender them. The other questions
will be more easily adjusted.

MANY CALLERS AT SUMMER
HOME OF THE PRESIDENT.
Time of the Chief Magistrate Fully
Occupied With the Many Who
Call on Him.

Oyster Bay, July 1S.-Former Rep
resentative Walter L. Weaver of
Springfield, Ohio, arrived here yes
terday and held a conference with the
president.
He recently was appointed one of
the justices of the Choctaw and Chick
asaw tribes of the Indian territory.
together with Judge Spencer B.
Adams of Greensboro, N. c., and
Judge Foote of California. Judge
Weaver came by invitation to discuss
with the president the proposed work
in the courts.
President Roosevelt is deeply inter-
ested in the effort to eliminate citi-
zenship frauds in the Indian territory.
1t is expected that the members of
the court will meet in Washington
to map out their work and decide
when and where their sittings shall
begin.
Casper Whitney, editor of Outing;
R. B. Hawley, republican national
committeeman from Texas, and Re-
gis P. Post of Bay Port, l.. l., were
guests of the president yesterday at
luncheon.
Secretary of the Navy Moody, who
was expected at Sycamore Hill today,
will not be able to arrive on account
| of official duties in Washington, per-
haps for ten days.
1t is announced that Senator Plat
and Governor Odell of New York will
visit the president this week to talk
over state and national politics.
Several Beers who have been pris-
oners of war in Bermuda arrived here
last night and are guests Of William
and Gerard Beekman, who own a
handsome country home not far from

CAPE 70 CAIRO.
A New Line Planned Through Congo
Free State.

y
Free State.
Washington, July 1S.-Before many
years, the world may be astonished
that the l~ong-fostered dream Of the
late Cecil Rhodes for the opening up
Of the dark continent has become a
reality, and q consecutive line Of steel
rails may stretch from Cairo to Cape
Town.
The state department made public
today an important report Of railway
development from Consul G. Bic Ravn-
dial Of Sioux Falls, 8. D., at Beirut.
The consul says that by an agreement
signed at Brussels the previous month
by Robert Williams with the king Of
the Belgians. the German route was
abandoned, and the railway from Cairo
to the cape is to be carried through
the Congo Free States to the upper
waters of the Nile. From Stanley
Falls on the Tipped Congo a railway
is to be built to Mahagi on Lake Al
bert Nyanza, and this connection will
supply the missing link between the
cape and the Egyptian railways.
Consul Ravndal adds that it is quite
likely that If the proposed railway
is built from the coast Of Des-es-e1-
SaI-aam, the capital of German East
Africa, the original Cape to Cairo sys-
tenn by way of Tobara will also be
realized. Both lines" says the con-
sui. may astonish the world before
many years"

SUSTAINED ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Decision Relating to Precedence OF
Bureau Officers.

Washington, July 1S.-Secretary
Moody has decided the question of
precedence of bureau officers holding
the advanced rank in, virtue of their
commissions as bureau chiefs, sus-
timing Admiral Dewey, who held that
seniority of rank was determined by
priority of date of the first commits
sion of the officers. The question
arose as to precedence in the case
of Rear Admiral Taylor, .chief of the
bureau OF navigation. The decision
is adverse to Bradford.

May Be RETIRED
CAN BLAME OWN INDIFFERENCE
FOR PRESENT SITUATION.
Sentiment in Wisconsin May Change
Before Next Meeting Of
the Legislature.

Washington, July 18.-WashingtOn
very reluctantly comedies that yester-
days platform work at Madison may
mean the retirement from public life
of Senator Spooner. 1t is believed
here that Mr.. Spooner himself is much
to blame for this turn Of affairs. APP
parently he has taken no interest in
the convention. He is still in the east
and when asked recently if he purpos-
ed going home for the convention.
answered in the negative, and plainly
showed his Indifference.
This Indifference s at the bottom
of yesterdays work. 1t is believed
here that had Mr.. Spooner gone to
work to organize his friends in Wis
cousin for an active campaign he
could have controlled the convention,
so far as he was concerned. But in
stead of doing this he permitted mat
tiers to drift along, declining even to
say formally that he would accept an
other term as senator.
It is believed that many party lead
ers in the state, Notwithstanding Mr.
spooner's distinguished ability and
services to the party and country, feel
that he has not been justified in ig-
noring them as he has and that this
feeling was taken advantage of by the
small minority which apparently op-
poses him. Many Wisconsin friends
resent his manner, which seems to
say simply that he is greater than
his state party and is not bound to
consult or take the leaders into his
confidence.
In Washington, however, he was al
ways affable and kind, and his promi
nence in the senate has made the
wish universal here that he be return,
ed. Even democrats join in it.
It is quite possible that sentiment
in the state may so shape itself by
the time the legislature meets as to
compel Spooner's reelection, notwith
standing what was done at Madison
This is the one ray of hope in the sit
uation as it is viewed here. If Pres
ident Roosevelt and his cabinet an6
| other advisers are consulted, Spoon
er will certainly be returned. The ad
ministration leaned on him more con
idently during the last session o.
| congress than on any other man II
congress. He is the real senate lead
er on all great questions now pendins
and should he remain here and con
tinue to develop, in a few years HI
would actually displace Aldrich, TO
years the senate's strongest and mos
influential republican member. 1t Ii
believed that Wisconsin hardly ap
preciates the rank to which he ha'
| attained in national councils.

BIG WAVE AT CHICAGO.
CONFUSION Mas Due to a Wave Of
Atmospheric Pressure.

Chicago, July 1S.-A phenomenon
known to Geneva and other Swiss
lakes as a "seiche," has made it's ap-
pearance on Lake Michigan. In a
queer CONFUSION the lake sent a Dig
wave landmarks, and residents along
the shore suddenly found the water
tapping at their doorsteps. All along
the lake front the waves swept up
against breakwaters and over the
beach. Steamers were tossed about
their docks, smaller craft were thrown
on the shore boats were broken, and
in several instances loss of life was
narrowly averted.
Two boys bathing north of Lincoln
park were saved after they had been
carried out by the receding a A.
fireman was rescued by the Evanston
life saving crew, and another bather,
am Evanston boy, was pulled out of
the water as he was in, danger of
drowning.
At the weather bureau the baronl-
eter indicated a sudden high pressure,
followed by an equally sudden drop.
A wave of heavy atmospheric pres
sure passed over the city, and as it
struck the lake, moving from west to
east, the water was pushed back. With
the pressure released the wave came
rushing back and dashed up over tie
land and then receded to the normal
lines.

An Energetic Debate.

: indianapolis, July 18.-The ques-
ton of whether the assessment recon-
mended by President Mitchell for the
relief of the anthracite miners be used
also for the benefit of the striking
bituminous miners in different parts
of the country was the only thing be-
fore the mine workers today. The de-
bate grew so energetic that it was
determined to hold an executive ses-
sion during the afternoon. Nothing
was determined during the morning
regarding the distribution of the as
sessment.

SCHOOL MERGER.
Move for Fewer Schools and Better
Education.

Education,
Helena, July Decentralization of
the rural schools, a matter that has
attracted much attention in many of
he older states in recent years and
has been found to operate very sue
cessfully. is n of the questions that
will come up for consideration at the
hands Of the next legislature.
The plan, as it has been put in OBJ
Grafton In a number of the eastern and
central states, and even as near Mon
tana as the Dakotas, is to consolidate
two, three or four schools Of a town
ship into one school at a central
point, the question of the children
reaching the school being solved by
the employment Of teams for trans
portation. Experienced educators who
have had to do with the comparative
" new plan declare that it is far
ahead of the old scheme of q school
for every district, no matter how
small the number of children in the
district in which the school must be
maintained.
The First Move.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction W. w. WEIGH, who has look
ed thoroughly into the consolidated
plan, heartily favors It, and is now en-
gagged in the preparation Of a circular
letter that is to be the first move in
the campaign for consolidation. In
this letter facts will be given to show
the working Of the plan in those states
that have adopted It, and to point the
contrast between the two systems.
These letters will be sent to county
superintendent. to members of the
legislature. to principals of city
schools and to members of the boards
of trustees in the various districts.
