FAILURE OF CANAL TREATY
THE REASON OF COLOMBIA'S
 REJECTION OF IT.
Encroaohmens on That country's Sovereignty Claimed by Oppo- nents of the Convention-sensati Produced on tho Isthmas by the Action of the Colombian senate-A Heavy Blow to Property Owners.
avy Blow to Property Ownsrs.

v -5 @
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The reason given for the rejection of the Panama canal treaty by the Columbian senate news of which was received early to- day by the state department from United States Minister Beaupre and later in press dispatches from Colonl- bia, it is said here, was the alleged en- croachment on Colombias sovereignty which its opponents contended would result from the treaty. This informa- tion was contained in dispatch re- ceived tonight by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge from Foreign Min ister Ricos at Bogota. This dispatch showed that in its present form the treaty was absolutely unacceptable to the senate for the reason above stated and that it had been rejected unani- mously. The view taken by the sen- ate was at variance to that held by the government of Colombia, which felt satisfied when it submitted the treaty to congress that there would be no i'm pairment of Colombia's sovereignty if the treaty should be ratified. Inciden- tal to the general question of soVer- eighty necessarily was that of lease Of the strip of land through which the canal was to be constructed and the debate in. the Colombian senate indi- cated that the body regarded this. as amounting to sale of the land there- fore objectionable. When the treaty was submitted to the senate by the committee to which it had been refer red seven of the senators favored it with certain amendments which they proposed and the remaining two op- posed it absolutely. The amendments proposed by the majority are not stated here, but they evidently referred to the question of sovereignty as is indicated by the subsequent rejection of the treaty in it's present form.
 An interesting feature of the whole debate in the Colombian senate and in the committees report favoring the treaty is said to be the entire absence of reference to the question of indem- nifty offered by the United States for the right of way. It was generally supposed that this would cut consid- erable. figure in the discussion of the subject in Colombia. but the question of money consideration. it is said, fad ed away and was replaced by the SOW ereignty issue.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 17-During the review of the North Atlantic fleet to-day by the president he and his guests discussed at some length the in ternational yacht races, which are to begin on Thursday. Among the distin- guished yachtsmen aboard the May flower the merits of the Reliance and the Shamrock III were a topic of con- stant discussion. The discussion finally resulted in the making of a unique wager.

 Sebastopol, Aug. 1.-The squadron of the Russian Black Sea fleet, which has been ordered to the Turkish coast, sail ed to-day. It is under the command of Rear Admiral Krueger.
 Vienna, Aug. lL--In connection with Russia's action in sending a squadron to Turkish waters the Associated Press is officially informed that Russia does not intend to violate the spirit of the Russo-Anstrian Balkan agreement. The dispatch of the warships to Turkey does not disturb the good and confidential relations between Russia and Austria.
 Austria's ambassador at St. Peters burg, it is understood, however, is mak- ing efforts to induce Russia not to carry out the proposed demonstration, and well-informed persons say that Austria up to the present has nol information regarding the point at which Russia in- tends to make the deinonstration.

 Belgrade, Servia, Aug. 17.-A mass meeting will be held here on August 23 | to express sympathy with the Macedo- nian insurgents. Prominent politicians have promised to make speeches. l Rome, Aug. 1.-The memorandum of the Bulgarian government to the pow CTS regarding the situation in Macedo- mia has produced a great effect here. The general impression is that the Bull garian government is no longer able to hold back popular feeling, which, un- less it is repressed in time, will lead to war with Turkey. The fate of Bull garia in that event, it is thought, would probably be the same as that of Greece in the last war with Turkey. The Ital- ian government is exchanging views on ] the subject with Vienna and London.

Little MiIlionaires, Arnuse s

In the nursery of a little boy who is
to be many times millionaire it has
been found that the supreme joy is a
carpenters bench. The discovery be-
gan when the young man. was given a
box of tools, all SO poor that his father
wondered at the little fellows patient
efforts to use them. Thisiled to a few
of better grade and to a lesson now
and again as to their use. Finally
wise seemed necessary and then a spe-
clal table, and it all eliminated in
tiny bench, made to order and meas
ure, but reproducing exactly the bench
Of the adult workman. UI5a
For more than a year this has given
unm1xed pleasure to its owner, who
always comes back to making some
thlng as his best amusement.
IN this same nursery the walls have
a dade of butchers paper, which can
be slipped in and out quickly, and in
this the little sister has worked out
the fancies and conceits of her imagi-
nation. Fairies and giants, flowers,
buds and beasts, in most original form,
serve to illustrate the stories she has
heard or made up, and, although Ra-
phael might correct the drawing and

CLEAR SETTLERS
TITLES TO HOMES
COngressmen-Elect Buchanan
Will Take Issue With
Department.

A fight to clear up titles to a large
number of Sixth district settlers
homes is the object of Congressman
elect Buckman's visit to Washington.
Mr.. Buckman, accompanied by his
son, left last night for the national
capital, where he will spend most of
his time with the officials of the de-
partment Of the interior. A large num-
Der of homeseekers in the Sixth con-
gressional district especially in Nor
rison, Crow Wing and Todd counties,
have settled and improved indemnity
lands.
They have tried for years and with
uniform lack of success to secure titles
to their lands. Buchanan has taken up
their fight and will if necessary devote
the major portion of the time between
the adjournment of the present con-
gress and the organization Of the next
in their cause. Mr.. Buchanan yeSter-
day said:
The nations policies are safe in
the hands of the Republican party, and
until [ take my seat as congressman
feel that l shall be entirely consistent
in keeping my hands off, In matters
directly concerning the people of my
district I have no such feeling of DIFF
fidence and I intend doing everything
in my power to protect them. There
are In the Sixth district a sarge num-
Der of settlers on indemnity lands. The
country is settling up very rapidly
and majority of the farms have been
highly improved. Every improved
farm represents the investment of
the settlers all. and most of them
years of hard work. The titles should
be cleared up and l believe they can
be. At any event my first interest lies
with the people of the Sixth district
and [ propose to find out exactly what
may be done for them"

Justice White discussed the ques-
ton whether the federal constitution
is involved in any way in the case
He held that this could not be, for
the reason that the general govern
ment never had any power over mar
rlages to delegate, control over mar
rfageS always having been vested in
the states and never parted with by
them. Hence there is no power that
congress could exercise to regulate or
prohibit divorces, and it must follow
that unless the states were permitted
to control the subject of divorce among
their own citizens the subject would
be entirely uncontrolled, in which case
the absolute destruction of society
must be the result.
AS Mr.. Andrews had been q citizen
of Massachusetts the courts Of that
state had jurisdiction and not the
courts of another state. 1t was evil
dent he went on that Andrews SIX
months residence in South Dakota had
been taken up for the sole purpose of
securing a divorce. That temporary
change of residence did not amount
to dOmicile or to a change of citizen
ship. For this reason he held that
the South Dakota court was without
jurisdiction in the divorce proceedings
and its decree wholly void. Nor did
it matter if there had been a COM

and if she had been induced to con-
sent for a money consideration, as
had been alleged The fact was that
the case was one Of the MassacnusG IS
courts and not of the South Dakota
courts, and they could not be deprived
of their power by this means. JUS
tice Holmes took no part in today's
decision, for the reason that as chief
justice of the state Of Massachusetts
he had delivered the decision in the
hearing in the South Dakota decreed
invalid.

SOUTH DAKOTA
DIVORCE INVALID
The National Supreme Court
Passes Upon the An
dreWs Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-The
United States supreme court today
again passed upon the validity of d.
Vorces granted in South Dakota to
non residents. The case was that Of
Annie Andrews VS.. Kate H. Andrews.
and the question at issue is which is
entitled to administer upon the estate
of Charles S. Andrews, whom both
claimed as husband?
The record showed that Mrs. Kate
Andrews was the first wife and that
her husband secured a divorce in
South Dakota after remaining there
six months, the time required by the
statute of that state. The Massa-
chusetts courts hold that the decree
had been fraudulently secured, and
refusing to recognize it. recognized the
first wife as the legal widow of the
deceased Mr.. Andrews. Today's opin-
lon, which was by Justice White, af-
firmed that holding. He said that
Andrews residence in South Dakota
did not constitute legal domicile The
case arose out of the fact that Mr..
Andrews father, Charles H. Andrews,
bequeathed certain property to ''the
wife of my son, Charles S. Andrews"
Justices Brewer, Shiras and Peckham
dissented.

NATIONAL GUARD
NEEDS THE MONEY
Association viii Ask fer Increase in
Adiutant Generals Pay.

The Minnesota national guard,
through it's representatives of the
Guard association, will shortly appear
before the legislature with bills pro-
viding for at least two additional ap-
preparations, one OF them to be per-
manent
The Guard association will ask the
legislature to increase Adjt. Gen. E. D.
Libbeys salary and to increase next
years camp appropriation sufficiently
to insure the visit of the Minnesota
troops to the st. Louis exposition.
The arguments for increasing the
adjutant generals salary are patent
enough to those familiar with the
workings of the national guard and the
office of its administration. The ad-
jutant general receives an annual SAL
airy Of $4,000. Beside contributing to
the campaign fund an amount similar
to those put up by the higher salaried
officers of the state government, he is
obliged to meet expenses that fall on
no other servant Of the state.
The annual tour of instruction en-
campment is a heavy drain on the adj
jutant generals purse. as to him falls
the lot of entertaining the scores of
visitors always present during the
thirty days camp. All the elements of
military good cheer are provided and
literally. They must necessarily be OF
the pest grades, ana at the emu Oh the
tour the bill makes a big hole in the
adjutant generals salary. Indeed it
has long been an open equestion If an
officer not pIentifully endowed with
the worlds goods could afford to ac-
cept the position and it's honors. The
association will ask the legislature to
make the salary $4,000 per year.
The trip to ST. Louis which the gov
ernor promised the members of the
guard must be made, as the admin
fstration has already scored a shining
record for falling to make good, and
the soldier boys must be shown. The
members Of the association chosen as
leaders of the movement argue, and
with point, that the trip to st. Louis,
If made properly, will do the state
more good than either the visit to the
Chicago Worlds Fair or the Pan
American exposition where the Min
nesota troops eclipsed all their citizen
soldier rivals. They have figured that
it will take about $4,000 in addition
to the regular camp allowance to make
the trip in proper style and will en-
deavor to show the men holding the
public purse string that the advertis-
ing secured from the proposed trip
would be cheap at twice the price.
