PENNYPACKERS SUCCESSOR.
Interesting Predictions by a Confirmed
Prophet.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir: The Hon.
John p. Elkin. whom Judge Pennypacker
Defeated for the Gubernatorial nomination
year ago, will be PennypackeTs successor
as Governor of Pennsylvania Such an out
come OF the Pennypacker administration
could not be clearer II 1t were written across
the stars, and yet II was easily within the
power Of Governor Samuel Whitaker Penny
packer to have named successor IA friendly
to him as John p. Elkln is now. and ever must
remain, hostile to the Pennypacker regime.
II was the determined purpose OF Judge
Pennylncker TO make such record for state
craft that not only the Pennypackers but
the people Of Pennsylvania could refer to it
with pride, Just as long as Pennsylvania his
tory was written and read. That record for
craftsmanship has yet to be made.
Governor Pcnnypacker's first blnnder was
in the selection of his Cabinet and members
OF his political family. II he had appointed
Judge Sulzberger or Judge Better of Phlla-
dclpha or Judge Stewart Of Chambersburg.
or the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, or the Hon.
Frank b. McClnin of Lancaster. his Attorney
General. that Attorney General would have
been the next Governor OF Pennsylvania with
out opposition.
Tho preeent Attorney General. HAMPTON
T. Carson was tho personal choice OF Gov
ernor Penny packer. Every well-informed poll
tCian OF the State--eXcept John i, Elkln-
advised against IT, II Carson. the Premier OF
Pennypacker's Cabinet, were candidate to
succeed his chief, he could not by any moral.
personal or political power succeed in secur-
ing enough delegates TO the state convention
TO have his name placed In nomination and
seconded.
Had man like Wesley u. Andrews. Secre-
tary of the state Committcc or John Nc
Curdy, President CT City Councils, Philedel
phia, or Col. W. H. Lambert or Charles Seger
OF Philad elphia been named for private sec
rotary TO the Governor. the advice OF the At
torney-G eneral and private secretary would
have prevailed; the Pennsylvania Libel Act
would not now be n statute OF Pennsylvania.
and Governor Pennypacker would be making
history radically different from that made
during the past six months.
As 1t 10 now, tho Republican organiHa' ion OF
Pennsylvania, with the people earnestly sup
porting IL, will turn from the Pennypacker
administration to what an administration OF
John p. Elkin pressges with far more willing
ness and zeal than they turned from the nd-
min istratlon Of Governor Stone to that which
they confidently believed Judge Pennypaclter
would give them.

CANAL COMMISSIONER HERE.
Talk with Pedro yeley, One OF the Coioni-
blan Treaty Committee.

Senior Pedro Velez, a member OF the
Colombian Congress- from Cartagena, has
arrived in this city from Colon by way OF
Cuba. Senor Velez is a nephew OF President
Joaquin yelez Of the Colombian Senate,
one of the strongest opponent OF the Pan
anna Canal treaty.
During his absence from Bogota, Sefor
Velez is represented in the House by an
alternate, who on Thursday last was ap-
pointed by President Marroquin al one
Of nine commissioners TO report on the
treaty. Sefor Velez will return to Colon
bia next week to take his place on the COM
mission, on whose report will probably
depend the fate Of the treaty.
Il would not dare to give my personal
views on the treaty" said Sehor Velez
yesterday at the Hotel Majestic. Il am
not sufficiently acquainted with all the
details OF the treaty to discuss 1t now. To,
morrow I shall 90 to Washington and call
upon DR.. Herran, our Charge d'Afaires,
TO post myself.
However, I can say that the country
In general IL strongly opposed to the treaty.
The people object to the permanent ces,,
sion OF a part Of our territory to the United
States. Then, too, they think chat this
country has not been generous enough in
its offer Of $40 600 900 indemnity and 500, 600
year We now receive $3.50, 900 from the
Panama Railroad. And. besides, the uncom-
pleted canal (which will revert to the Govern
ment by the failure Of the French company
to fulfil its contract, is worth considerably
more than $1,000, 900.
"Of course, the United States is the only
Government which can build the canal.
The fertilization of the canal practically
equal the doubling Of the navy OF this
country. In return for this great ad-
vantage Colombia too wants something
OF more permanent good than the mere
money consideration
I'VE realize, though, that Colombia will
be benefited by the increased shipping
facilities from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
and the value of land will be greatly en-
HANGED. 1t will also open some OF our
dormant industries
With some notifications TO be agreed
to by both sides and with mutual good
will think that the treaty can be made
acceptable, for we Colombians duly appre-
ciate the necessity of the canal to the
world
1T is not likely that decision will be
reached before the end Of August, for we
must carefully consider the project before
reporting on it. And doubt that President
Marroquin will Use any executive pressure
to secure the passage Of the treaty. He
will leave IL entirely to the Legislature"

ANXIOUS ABOUT CANAL TREATY.
Minister Beaupre, ReIu ested to Telegraph,
Has Not Been Heard From.

mas MOL 1bePm NeuFu fh0W.
WASHINGTON, July 0.--No news of the
situation at Bogota, where the Congress Of
Colombia. Is considering the Panama Canal
treaty, has been received by the State De-
partment for ten days. The last official
information from there was the text of the
message Of President Marrouuin, delivered
on June 20, urging the ratification of the
treaty
This came q week after the Congress
met Concerned over the absence of adj
vices, Acting Secretary Of State LOOMS
telegraphed United States Minister Beaupre
on Wednesday last to send a report OF the
situation, but no response has come.
DR.. Thomas Herran, the Colombian
Charge d'Affaires in Washington, said to-
night that, while he had received no recent
kilograms from his country concerning
the canal situation, some letters had come
In which his correspondents expressed
the fear that opponents of the treaty would,
by filibustering, prevent action upon it
at the present special session and carry it
over to the regular session of Congress,
which will be begun on July 20.
President Marroquin, said DR.. Herran,
has stipulated that only the canal treaty
should be considered at the special session,
legislation will be considered, and this
may result, should flibustering tactics
be successful. in preventing any action
whatever upon the treaty
The municipality OF Panama is making
every effort TO have the treaty ratified,
and, according TO DR.. Herran's advices.
has forwarded to the Congress a petition
for the canal, signed with 1000 names,
Other municipalities in favor Of the treaty
are following the example set by Panama.
DR.. Herran's advices show that the fight
on the treaty is not based on the ground
that the bonus and rental to be paid by
the United States are not sufficient, but on
the allegation that the terms Of the con-
vention ALLEVIATE Colombian sovereignty
over the canal strip and transfer it to the
limited States

ODEK.L, WELLER, MILLER.
Relations OF Governor and jerome Not So
Strained as They Were.

Assistant District-Attorney Train, who
visited Gov Odell in Buffalo E.st week con-
corning the pardoning OF Frank s. Weller,
convicted ofgrand larceny in connection with
selling worthless stock of the Horse Shoe
Copper Mining Company, returned to his Of
flee yesterday and reported to Mr.. Jerome
that the Governor intended to let the regular
course Of procedure prevail. Ex-Judge
Brown, OF counsel for Weller. informed
Mr. Jerome last week that Gov. Odell would
pardon Weller otf-hand because Wellers
father was formerly partner OF the Gov
ernor's father in Newburg.
Mr.. Jerome said that there were other
complaints to try Weller on. According
to Mr.. Train also Gov. Odell has not decided
that he will not commute the sentence OF
Syndicate Miller or pardon him for his
services to the State. Therefore Assistant
District Attorney Mott will send to Albany
to-day or tomorrow papers asking for
pardon for Miller. Mr.. Mott said yesterday
that certain depositors In the $40 per cent.
Franklin Syndicate have protested to Dis
trict Attorney Clarke OF Kings county
against Miller's getting any oommutation,
although he did testify against his former
counsel, Col. Bob Ammon, recently con-
victed OF receiving Miller's stolen money.
In speaking about those protesting deposit
tors Mr.. Mott declared that Miller not only
was Of service to the State as a witness
against Ammon but also assigned his chance
Of clearing about $4,000 over and above
the claims against his ESTATE" which will
go to depositors without further litigation.
Proceedings in involuntar y bankruptcy
were instituted against Miller" said MIR.
Mott. "and trustee In bankruptcy was
appointed. To this trustee goes about
$4,000 OF the $4,000 invested by Ammon
for Miller in the brokerage firm Of Sey-
mour, johnson Il Co., which failed and
settled for about 90 per cent. on the dollar.
In addition to this 500, 600 Miller had $5s. 900

all the outstanding claims against the

Davis concluded to keep. The cancelled
claims have been turned over to the trustee
in bankruptcy and the creditors who re-
leased them will get further dividend
out of the cash on hand.
