MUST THERE BE A
NEW CANAL TREATY?
Senators Are Divided the Question of the Presidents
Right to Negotiate With the New Panama Government
Without Further Authority From Congress-Oppo-
nents of Panama Route Will Fight Battle Over Again

the following statement in regard to
affairs on the isthmus of Panama:
The action of the president in the
Panama matter Is not only in strictest
accordance with the principles of JUS
t1ce and equity, and in line with all
the best precedents of our public poll
cy, but it was the only course he could
nave taken in compliance with our
treaty rights and obligations. By our
treaty, entered into with New Granada
in the year 1916, New Granada guaran-
tees that the right of way or transit
across the isthmuS of Panama upon
any modes of communication that now
exist or that may be hereafter con-
structed. shall be free and open to the
government and citizens Of the United
States.'
This is right which we acquired
by the treaty, not gratuitously confer
red, but in return for an important
compensation, for in the same article
the government of the United States
guarantees positively and efficaciously
to New Granada by the present stipu-
lation the perfect neutrality of the be-
aforementioned isthmus, with the view
that the free transit from the one to
the other sea may not be interrupted or
embarrassed in any future time while
this treaty exists and in consequence
the United States guarantee in the
manner the rights of sovereignty and
property which New Granada has and
possesses over said territory"

tions between the two countries and

MONTANA MINERS
LOSE THEIR LIVES
Superintendent Is Thought to
Have Perished While Res
cuing Others From Fire.

VIRGINIA CITY, Mont, Nov. g.
Fire in the Kearsarge mine today kill
ed nine men. The damage to surface
buildings is slight. Four bodies have
been recovered. The dead:
R. B. TURNER, superintendent of
the mine.
GEORGE ALLEN. stationary engi-
neer.
JOHN TOBIN.
JAMES POWERS
EDWARD LAHREDY.
WILLIAM FLEMING.
ROBERT DONNELLY.
TWO OTHER MINERS.
All the dead miners were from
Butte.
The Kearsarge is one of the princi-
pal gold mines of Montana. It is op-
Grated by the Alder Mining company.
At about o'clock this morning fire
was discovered issuing from the tun-
mel house, No. 1. How the fire orig
mated is not known, but at the first
alarm all the miners, carpenters and
laborers, ITO in all, hastened across
the gulch to aid in subduing the flames.
Supt Turner went to the scene and
assumed the direction of affairs. He
entered the tunnel with other through
the fire and smoke to give warning to
the entombed miners and to aid in
their escape. Near the mouth of the
tunnel they stumbled over the dead
body of John Tobin. They carried the
body to the surface and once more
entered the workings to rescue their
comrades, If. possible. According to the
story of a miner, Turner and another
man entered the mine through the
air shaft Hurley was the last to de-
scend. After going down some dis
tance through the air shaft Hurley
heard a cry and then thuds, as of bod
les striking the timbers, which were
followed by a smothered splash in the
water. Hurley tried to go farther
down the shaft, but was compelled to
retract his steps.
The bodies Of Tobin, Powers, Flem-
Ing and Donnelly are all that have
been recovered. 1t is possible that the
others missing may be alive.
Mr.. Turner had been connected with
the company for several years as su-
perintendent of the Kennel mine and
then of the Kearsarge. He was the
junior member of the firm Of Mitchell
& Turner, of Butte.
Despite the fact that Supt. Turner
has been reported killed, w. B. Millard,
the general manager, seems confident
that he will be found in some slope,
where the smoke and gas could not
penetrate, and bases his confidence on
the thorough knowledge the superin-
tendent had of the underground work.

Disappointed in love, Elsie Brun-

the girl was carried into the house and

the hopes of saving her life, but finally
abandoned the effort. She remained in
comatose condition sard no medical
aid could revive her. =
Elsie, who was a pretty, had been in
a despondent frame of mind during
the past few days. To another girl at
the house she conffded that she was
deeply in love with man who had, in
stead Of devoting his attentions to her,
showed a preference for her elder sis

acquainted with this man and had in
troduced her sister to him.
Elsie and Myrtle were orphans, both
parents having died several years ago.
An aunt resides at North st. Paul, but
they had, as far as could be learned
last night, no other relatives. Both

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-As a
consequence of the changed sover-
eighty of the isthmus of Panama, the
isthmian canal fight is likely to be re-
opened in congress this winter. The
Spooner act authorized the president
to negotiate with Colombia for right of
way by the Panama route and directed
him, in the event Of success, to pay
$10,O00,000 to Colombia. The act made
no provision for change of sover-
eighty, however, and 1t is a question
whether the PRESIDENT is at liberty to
negotiate with the new republic of
Panama without further action by the
senate or to pay over any money to it.
Senator Spooner discussed the mat
ter with senate leaders today. He
takes the position that the authority
to act can be stretched so as to enable
the president to conclude negotiations
with the new Panama government in
the same way that he carried them on
with Colombia. Other lawyers in the
senate, however, believe that the act
cannot be construed in this broad way
and that any negotiations with PAN
anna will have to be Incorporated in a
new treaty requiring ratification by
both governments. At any rate, the op-
ponents of the Panama route will prob
ably seize the opportunity to fight the
canal fight all over again.

POISON IN HIS FOOD
Richest of Smiths and Social
Lion Has a Mlshap.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-CablegramS
received in New York today say that
James Henry Smith, the richest bach
elor of America, and the highest prize
in society's matrimonial contest, was
poisoned few days ago at Hursley,
England, where he had been visiting
his sister, Mrs. George Cooper, while
he attended the shooting at Dunachtoli,
Scotland. AT one of the elaborate BAN
quets with which he has entertained
the most exclusive and royal society of
England he was poisoned by something
that he ate. This seems strange, in
view of the fact that he took with him
from London his chef, to whom he paid
$4,000, and whose particular mission 1t
was to prepare his individual food.
Mr. Smith expected to sail for New
York a few days ago, but it is said that
he cannot start for some time because
of his illness. He is not yet out of
danger and apprehension concerning
him is tense.
Mr. Smiths agents recently pur-
chased the house at Tuxedo, which was
given to the T. Suffern Tailors as a
wedding present from the brides
father, Pierre Lorillard There he had
planned to entertain on a scale of mag
nificence which would dazzle the ideas
of a romancist.
Until three years ago Mr.. Smith was
known as "Silent Smith" in Wall street,
where he was q broker. His fortune,
while always ample, was nothing eX-
traordinary until three years ago, when
his uncle, George Smith, also bach
elor, died in London and left him al
most all of his fortune, which he had
made in the wall paper business in this
country. That bequest made James
Henry Smith worth $100,000,000, Or so
much money, it is said, that he has not
since known how much he is worth.
In his unsuccessful attempts to spend
only the income Mr.. Smith leaped into
prominence as unique and most law
ish entertainer He chartered Anthony
DrexePs yacht Margarita and went to
Europe last spring. Since then he has
been spending money lavishly. He has
constantly had as guests from ten to
a hundred most prominent persons. In
England he enlisted the services of
Mrs. George Keppel as his social guide
and she arranged all the entertain
ments and supervised the invitation
list. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish was the
multi -millionaire's sponsor and social
guide in this country.
Recently it was <rumored that Mr..
Smith was in love and would marry
Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chauncey, a rich
widow. If it is true many heart in
this country is broken and the aim Of
many an aspiring mother has missed
the mark.

STEEL BARSC0 DOWN
Six Dollars a Ton Is Taken Off
the Price.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 6.-An-
nouncement was made here today that
the price of steel bars had been re-
duced Sc per ton. This brings the Bes-
semer quality of bars to $26 ton,
based on Pittsburg, and the open
hearth quality to $2S ton, based on
Pittsburg The usual differences for
other qualities apply as heretofore.
The decision made by the associa-
ton governing the price of steel bars
came at the expiration of a long strug-
gle over these values. 1t Is said that
the steel bar producers have been try
ing to avoid the cut, knowing that as
soon as it was made the price on other
staples of steel production would i'm
mediately fall. That the drop was in
evitable, however, 1t. is said, has been
evident for some time.

THINKS DEATH NEAR
Widow Lives High in Her Few
Remaining Days.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6. - Mrs. Janet
Greenwood, convinced that she will live
but seven days, gathered a crowd of
newsboys about her at the Great
Northern hotel yesterday and played
the role of hostess at a luncheon. Mrs.
Greenwood is convinced that she is a
doomed woman. The arguments of her
friends have proved futile and she
turns a deaf ear to the words of sci
ence.
II am to die" she said yesterday aft
ernoon. Nothing can save me, and
am bound to see as much of the world
as 1 can before the final summons
comes.'
The peculiar part of it is that Mrs.
Greenwood is not even ill. Her cheeks
are rosy, her step elastic. In every
way she is enjoying excellent health.
Fortune tellerS and the word of a dying
man have much to do with the story of
this strange woman. She comes from
Indiana.
An automobile stood at the hotel en-
trance yesterday morning. 1t was for
Mrs. Greenwood. She rode in it all
morning and whenever she met an old
woman too tired to walk she was help
ed into the machine and carried to her
deSundtlon. Sne returned TO the motel
with the automobile filled with news
boys. They trooped to the grillroom
and for once in their lives ate the best
to be had. When they departed each
held piece of money.
Whats it all in honor Off" Mrs.
Greenwood was asked.
I'm going to die and I want to do as
much good as l can before l pass
away" was the answer.
why, you're in excellent health"
"Yes, but I'll be a corpse one week
from today" and her tone showed she
meant it.
I've known for some time that I was
doomed. Ny husband died on Nov. IL,
1902. Janet, you'll join me in one year,
were his last words. l thought about
those words many times 1t got so l
thought of them every day and many
times in the night. 1 went to a fortune
teller and she said that / would not live
long. When I pressed her for a more
specific answer she told me / would die
in November, 1903. Next Thursday will
be my last day on earth. l had never
seen much of the world and / was anX-
ious t6 know more about it. I had
some money in the bank and 1 took it
out No one is dependent on me. will
see as much of the world as l can be-
fore next Thursday. On that day
will return to Yankeetown. That will
be the day of my DEATH"

night.
