DEATHS SHADOW
 ON COL. LYNCH
Who Thought Ills Mission Was to
 Help the Boe1s.

London, January 23.-When the trial Of Colonel Arthur Lynch, member of parliament from Galway, on a charge Of high treason was resumed today. the cousel for the defense began summing up. No attempt was made to deny that Lynch supported the Boers, but the counsel contended that the naturaliza- ton was in no way prompted by reasonable intent and was solely for the advantage he would secure for journalistic purposes. Subsequently the defendant actively supported the Beer cause in the belief that he was legally a naturalized burgher.
 The lord chief justice held that the joining or the kings enemies under any pretext constituted treason. The jury returned - verdict of guilty. The sen tence of death was passed on each of the four counts in the indictment
 After the prisoner had been removed Lynch and his counsel had a conference regarding the course to be adopted in the future and later it was announced that no action would be taken at pres ent. The counsel can proceed with ap- plying for writ of error but it is thought that this may be rendered un- necessary by a communication of sen fence to q short term of imprisonment in which case it is probable the prison CT will accept the situation.

ART AT ITS BEST
And Some of the Best of It Is Found
 in Phoenix

Frank Holmes. a New York artist who is spending the winter here for the recUperation of his health and who has been previously mentioned in these col umns as the only incorporated man in America, finds it impossible to wean himself away from his art. In fact, he don't try to, for it is just as easy for one to do something while one is sick as it is to do nothing, providing one is not too sick. Incidentally MT. Holmes residence here and the nature of the work he is doing will have tendency to make some of the big men in Ameri- ca remember that Phoenix is on the map.
 When MT. Holmes decided to come to Arizona for his health, it occurred to Kirk La Shelle, the well-known thea trical man, to make things easy for him and incidentally to launch a novel en- tcrprise. The Bander Log Press com pany was therefore incorporated, of which MT. Holmes was made 'it," he being the president and holding a con- trolling interest. It's object was to give Mir. Holmes an opportunity to make some money for himself and the other stockholders, and make it in the line of his chosen work in a country he could live in. Stock in the company was taken by many of the best known people in the country, among whom are the following named. Kirk La Shelle. w. w. Denslow, Ray Brown. J. T. McCutcheon, George Benson, Horace Taylor, George Ade, MT. Dooley (P. F. Dunne). George Thomas, author of the play Tn Arizona" Charles Warren Stoddard, Frank Vanderlip. formerly assistant secretary of the treasury; James H. Eckels, formerly comptroller of the treasury; Lyman J. Gage, form erly secretary of the treasury; Victor F. Lawson of the Associated Press, AL bert Levering, Charles Dana Gibson.

tory to the president and Secretary Hay and while it is a larger amount than was offered at first it is believed by the administration officials that the senate undoubtedly will accept the figures named in the treaty particular ly after it is made clear that the lesser amount would deprive Colombia of the income which she is now actually re- Ceiving. All other points than this one of money compensation remain as they stood in the original draft of the treaty and are completely satisfactory to the United States government.
 It was not Secretary Hays intention to transmit the signed treaty to the senate today but after the president and cabinet discussed it the conclusion was reached that it would be advisa ble to send it to the senate at the earliest possible moment. The letter of trans initial therefore was prepared at once and late this afternoon the treaty was sent to the senate. The president and members of the cabinet are confident that the treaty will be ratified at an early date without encountering seri- ous opposition.
 The Venezuelan situation was dis cussed at length but it can be said by authority that no change in the atti- tude of the United States is in contem- platiOn at this time. The government will continue it's policy of sitting tight" The bombardment of San Car los by the German warships is regret ted sincerely by the officials of the ad- ministratiOn because of their appre- hension that it may complicate serious ly the pending negotiations between Minister Bowen as the representative of the Venezuela, and the representa- tive of the powers. However, while the administration regards the lombard ments as unwarranted the United States has no intention of taking off cial cognizanco.
 Some consideration was given to the proposed antitrust legislation pending in congress. Regret was expressed that the impression prevailed in some quarters that the bill reported to the house from the judiciary committee was an administration measure" It is made clear that it is not an admin istration measure and does not repre-

4 MEETING OF
 THE CABINET
The Canal Treaty and Other Matters
 Discussed.

Washington, January 23.-Today's meeting of the cabinet was one of the most important held in several weeks. Subjects of great moment were dis cussed fully in a session continuing two hours.
 All the members of the cabinet were present, Secretay Hay leaving his home for the first time in several days to at tend the meeting. He presented the draft of the Panama canal treaty signed last evening and both the presi- dent and his associates in the cabinet expressed their satisfaction with the results achieved through long and diff cult negotiations.
 The treaty is identical with that drawn by the government several months ago and at that time submitted to the Colombian government with the single exception of the amount of the annuity to be paid Colombia for the right of way for the canal
 This government proposed an annuity of $1OO,00O while Colombia demanded S65O'OOO. The Colombian government demand was based, it is stated. upon ascertained returns from the Panama Railroad company in duties. etc, which CCAoAiAbAsl blA t4OL uGSlIc lO nave leuuC- ed. During several months of negotia- uons Colombia agreed to all the points in the treaty proposed by the United States with the exception of the annu- ity. That has been the point of differ ence for many weeks and at one time 1t threatened to break off negotiations entirely. Secretary Hay communicat- ed directly with the Colombian gov ernment intimating that some agree ment must be reached soon as the United States desired to enter on the construction of the canal if it were to be constructed by the Panama route.
 For several days active efforts have been made to secure an agreement but not until yesterday were they success full. The Colombian government then through MT. Berran, the charge d'af- faires here agreed to accept an annuity of $25O, GOO. This is entirely satisfac~

THE CONGRESS DAY
 PENSION BILLS
The Lesser Investigation and Other
 Matters.

Washington, January 23.-The house today passed twenty three private pen sion bills. They included pensions to the widow of General Franz Siegel at $l00 per month, the widow of General Francis Negley at $50. and the widow of Rear Admiral Henry Picking at $40.
 The Alaska delegate bill was passed. It provides for the representation of the territory of Alaska in the house of rep resentatives by a delegate. It also de- fines the citizenship and qualification of electors and creates the machinery for an election, the date of which shall be the last Tuesday in September. The first delegate is to be elected next au- tumn and is to hold a seat in the Fifty-eiShth congress.
