NO SERIOUS CANAL HITCH.

The statement wah given out from
Washington few days ago that a seri-
Gus hitch had occurred in the negotia-
tons with the government of Columbia
for the right of way of the Panama
canal, that the officials of that govern
ment had notified the Panama company
by cable that no transfer of it's prop
erty will be permitted under the fran
chise rights and privileges granted to
1t. NJ. Lampre, the representative of the
Panama company in this country, how
ever declares there is no caAse TO be
disturbed by this news; that while the
Colombian governments action is. of
course, something of surprise, he I'M
derstands that it's officials only wish to
tons with the United States should not
be closed until the two governments
have finally agreed upon lines Of the
treaty which is at present being pre-
pared. Such notice, however, should
seem superfluous, for it goes without
saying that Uncle Sam would not make
leap in the dark.
1t is limited as motive, and one that
is characteristic of the South American
officials, that they desire to have fng-
er in the pie
Stated in plain English, the opinion
at our national capital is strong that
the Colombian government merely
means to warn the French owners that
it must be duly considered in any pro-
position looking to transfer of the
property and franchise rights. 1t is
held in Washington that the ruling
spirits Of Colombia see an opportunity
in the negotiations for the sale of the
canal to take part in the deal, and do
not propose to let this opportunity for
recuniary gain for their country to pass
wholly untitled.
The Colombian government has been
asked to explain. DR.. Silva, the retir-
ing Colombian minister at Washing
ton, authorizes the statement that the
Panama Canal Company, thru Mr..
Lampre its secretary general, and 9TH
ers, was Informed some time ago that 1t
could close no deal involving the trans
fer of it's rights to any nation without
first obtaining the assent of the Colon
bian government, the grantor OF Its
concessions This matter was made
very clear. The Colombian govern
ment gave the company the right to
initiate negotiations looking to trans
fer of its rights to nation, but never
to finally close such deal.
1t is quite probable that when the
time comes for final action on the canal
measure the way will be clear and that
all the needed concessions will be
granted by Colombia. The little fur
ry, tho, has given the friends of the
Nicaragua route new hope.

CHlNAs HEREAFTER.

Speculation as to the future of China
since its recent humiliation is of inter-
est if it comes from one who is per-
fectly familiar with the empire and its
rulers. Chas. DENLY. who was minister
to that country from the United States
for number of years, has written for
the March Forum on "The Duties of
"a Minister to China" A representative
from a foreign government in China, he
declares, occupies a position entirely
different from that of a minister to
another nation. He really becomes an
integral part of the government He
must become very active in looking
after his own countrymen and he finds
it necessary to hold the Chinese Off
Gals to an observance of treaties. In
many ways he takes an active part in
the government of the country
What is of peculiar interest in his
article is his view of the action of the
Chinese government during the re-
cent trouble and the probabilities of the
future. He claims that the late dis
turbances are sufficient of themselves
to show that real civilization is not
known in China; and that it is not con-
ceivable that in any civilized nation
there could have been well-organ-
lied attack made on the foreign rep
resentatives of other countries. The
Chinese government was not only cul-
pable in permitting the slaughter of
foreigners but was guilty in taking
part in it and encouraging the Boxers.
He declares the Chinese, almost to
man, hate the foreigners. "She would
drive them all into the sea If she
could"
AS to the future, he says, II am not
prepared to advise what definite action
should be taken to secure protection
to the foreigners. All along since the
riots 1 have insisted that this, and not
the mere money tribute, was the i'm
pcrtant question before the civilized
world. China has agreed to pay an
enormous sum of money. This much,
at least is well; but the chief prob
lcm remains unsolved-the protection
of the foreigner Why in the conclave
OF nations nothing was said or done
about 1T gives rise to the suspicion that
partition of China is ordained. and that
only decent pretext is waited for to
accomplish it. The European nations
do not want peace and tranquility.
Russia wants a pretext for anneXing
outright; Germany wants
England wants the Yangtze
valley; and France wants Kwangsu
other riot would furnish all the excuse
necessary for this wholesale partition.
Even partition is better than murder.
It is better to take our chances for
trade among provinces held in the
claws of European countries than to
see our people tortured and murdered
every year or two"
Mr.. Denby's conclusion is severe but
line may verify it: 1.-THE Chinese gov
ernment, looked at from a foreign
;tandpoint, has proved to be utterly in
Efficient and worthless. 1t has con-
;picuously failed TO comply with the
