Miss Elinor Courtney gave a
lecture in the courthouse last
Friday night on the Klondike
and other things in Alaska,
where she spent nearly four
years as a correspondent Of the
New York World. The lecture
was illustrated by stereopticon

and customs of the searchers for
gold in that frigid region.

Saginaw, Mich, Aug. 21.-James Budd

were burned to death here in an cleo

playing in that neighborhood to climb
the tower, which is 125 feet high, to the
platform at the top. Thursday night the
Moss boy, while at the top, touched a
wire carrying a current and instantly his
body was a mass of flames. Young Budd

Bogota, Colombia, Aug. IA, via Buena
Ventura, Aug. 1S.-The senate, haVlng
rejected the Panama canal treaty by
unanimous vote two days ago, is now
seeking to pave the way for fresh ne
cotiations with the United States for a
new treaty.
The senate has been in secret session
two days and it is reported that Presl-
dent MarroQuin has been authorized by
congress to make a new treaty when
will not require further ratification, but
that the basis given for the treaty VIII
probably prove unacceptable to the
United States. tits considered however,
in official circles, according to reliable
information, that the authorization
| given by congress to make a new treaty
will furnish a basis for reopening ne
gotiations with the United States.
Why Treaty Was Rejected.
The senate rejected the treaty on the
grounds that it's provisions are in open
violation of the constitution, which
makes no provision for the cession of ter
ritory or sovereignty. Another objec-
ton to the ratification of the treaty
which carried weight in the senate was
that the Panama Canal company did not
come to a previous arrangement with
the Colombian government for the trans
fer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate more
over seems to have been Influenced by
the communication made by the Amer
lean minister in which the introduction
of any amendments to the treaty was OBJ
jected to.
President Not Surprised.
Oyster Bay. Aug. 1S.-President Roose-
welt heard of the adverse action of the
Colombian congress on the Panama
canal treaty with disappointment, but
not with surprise. The president is not
prepared to say what step will be taken
next. From appearances it seems that
the administration realizes that 1t has
gone as far as practicable with Colombia.
1t is not the desire of the president
that the canal matter shall be dropped
or even be allowed to rest. 1t is probable
that the question will be presented to
congress when it meets in extra session.
If the undertaking were not such a
%stupendous one, it is likely that the pres
1dent might be willing to act at once and
take steps looking to the negotiation of
treaties with Nicaragua and Costa RIGA.
May Open New Deal.
Washington, Aug. 2O.-Unoficial. but
what is considered entirely reliable in
formation, has been received by DR..
Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires
here, indicating an intention on the part
of the Colombian senate to resume con
sideration of the subject Of a Panama
canal treaty in place of the one disap-
proved by that body on the 18th inst,
This shows a decided change in the turn
OF affairs, and leads DR.. Herran to hone
that a measure yet will be passed by
congress which will form the basis for
the ratification of a treaty between the
United States Of Colombia and the
United States of America for the con-
of an isthmian canal.
