THE PANAMA
CANAL TREATY.
The Time Limit for Ratification Has
Expired.
RACE QUESTION In MARYLAND.
Democratic Convention of That State
Has Set a Pace Which Other States
May FolIow--Confederate Records and
Data Being Collected Up.

Washington, D. O.-The time linn
itation for the ratification Of ths Hay
Herran Panama canal treaty has ex-
pired and is incumbent upon the
administration to say whether or not
the reasonable time" agreed to by
the United States senate has elapsed.
Five months were given for the Col
ombian Congress to consider the treaty
and for an exchange of ratifications.
Neither government has yet requested
any extension OF time, and presuma-
bly, no extension will be given. Had
the time OF the Colombian Congress
been consumed by debates or filibus-
tering tactics, there might be some
logical grounds for extension, but in
asmuch as the matter was settled
weeks ago, so far as the original treaty
was concerned, new period would be
useful to the Colombians only to con-
tinue trying to squeeze ten millions
out of the Panama Canal Company.
The Colombian Charge d'Affaires, DR..
Herran, realizes the gravity OF the
situation, but says he has not had any
instructions to request an extension of
the time for ratification, nor has the
American government intimated, so
far as known, that it is anxious to
grant it. In some quarters the sug-
gestion is made that real stumbling
block to the ratification of the treaty
might be removed il the new Panama
Canal Company would consent to the
payment to Colombia of stipulated
portion of the $40 ,0O0,00 which it is
TO receive from the American Govern
ment for It's rights, franchises and
property along the route of the pro-
posed canal. According to the bill re-
ported to tho Colon bian Senate, that
government wants $40, 1000 900 of this
money, but it is believed by some per-
sons familiar with South American af-
fairs that compromise naigbtt y.
reached whereby half that amount
would be accepted by Colombia. The
latter governbent thinks she is enti-
lied to some portion of the money. 1t
is also suggested that Colombia might
be willing to forego insistence on some
Of the other important amendments
which have been proposed. if she were
compensated by the Panama Canal
Company.
