Starts the sweat from every pore,
Back is aching, hands so sore.

And the "tater" unregarded
While the man down at the store
Orders them sent up galore.

CONDITIONS IN COLOMBIA.
Result of the Exhausting Four Years
of Rebellion.

gloomy picture of the terrible plight
in which Colombia finds itself as the result
of the exhausting four years Of rebellion
is contained in a communication which
has reached this city from a source of I'M
questionable reliability.
These adVices state that on March / last
the government gave notice that it had
stopped the issue of the paper money
that was flooding the country and had
turned the Autograph plates from which
1t was made over to a committee COM
posed of prominent members of different
political parties. Consequently the gov
eminent early in April was almost entirely
without funds. 1t had not enough to pay
running expenses, to say nothing OF Tor
eign claims and demands. Not cent or
interest had been paid on the national debt
since the war commenced IN 1893 Inc
claims growing out of the recent reVolu-
ton were assuming tremendous proper
tons, and. there were no other means
of relief, ii was apparent that the govern
ment again must have recourse to the
Autograph stones and start the presses
running again.
Moreover, 1t was the general opinion
that even the small measure of relief which
might follow the receipt of the S1O,OOO,Ooo
fl ON the United States on account of the
Panama canal could not be obtained. as
1t was not expected that Congress would
ratify the treaty.
At one time last year the exchange on
New York was 22,000; that Is to say,
q 600 Colombian dollars were required to
purchase dollars worth Of goods In
the United States. 1t was feared that the
rate would be even higher this summer,
for there was over 81 900 100000 worth of
this paper money afioat, and 1t was ex-
pected that $5O0,0O0,OOO more would be is
sued immedia tely to pay war expenses. The
foreign debt in 1895 amounted to e., 100000,
on which the interest rate was. first, 2R,
then 3 per cent, but this interest has not
been paid for several years. 1t was the
general opinion, according to the corre-
spondent that the Colombian government
never could pay its debts, and apprehen-
sion was expressed as to what might hap
pen in case the foreign creditors pushed for
a final settlement of their claims. The
correspondent said the conditions In CO.
lombia at the beginning of April were
comparable to those existing in France in

local Improvement. Congress organized
the District of Columbia under territorial
form of government and President Grant
appointed Shepherd as territorial governor.
Under his administration the grandest
schemes of municipal improvement for
Washington were projected and partly car
ried into effect. The grand avenues were
paved with asphalt and new avenues were
constructed rivaling the old ones in at
tractiveness; many new parks were estaD-
lished; magnificent public buildings were
erected; fountains were opened in all the
parks and along the avenues. These works
were vastly expensive, and charges of eX-
travagance and corruption were made. A
congressional investigation was ordered
and in consequence of its disclosures and
the attacks of the press the territorial gov
ernment of the District was abolished.

ANNUAL PRIZE DEBATE.
Society Of Georgetown University Dis
cusses American British Alliance.

The annual prize debate of the Philono-
mosian Society of the University of George
town took place last night in CASTOR Hall.
There was quite a large crowd present, and
the four young debaters came In for gen.
eral congratulation over the clear manner
in which they handled the different subjects
under discussion. which affirmed THAT 1t
is for the best interests of the United States
to form an alliance with the British en-
pire.' The judges were the Rev. Father
Roach of Boston College Father Judge,
senior lecturer of Georgetown University,
and Father Quill. lecturer to the post grad
yates Georgetown University. Mr. James
II. Teevan OF Massachusetts presided, and
in his opening address said the Philonomo-
sian was organized in 1890 and from its
ranks had gone forth some of the best
orators and debaters in America He gave
a general outline of the debate which was
to follow, and said that the winner of the
gold medal would be made known at the
commencement exercises in June.
Mr.. j. Herber: Doyle of the District of
Columbia was the first affirmative speaker
giving an outline CT what such an alliance
would produce II entered into with Great
Britain. He portrayed the condition of
affairs as they exist today and the frendli-
ness exhibited by England toward the
United States In our late war with Spain.
when the rest of Europe was against u.s."
and quoted from the last speech of the late
President Mckinley at Buffalo, just before
he was shot. as showing the feeling of the
typical American in regard to such an al
lance. He also gave an array of facts and
figures to prove the feasibility and wisdom
of such union between the EnglIsh-speak
ing nations, and used the isthmian and
Spez canals as basis for action in case
of a war.
Mr.. Joseph H Lawler of Connecticut
opened for the negative. and made his ar
gument on the basis OF tradition, holding
that 1t would be impolitic, unwise and un-
American in every way for this prosperous
country to form an alliance with country
like England. He held that II was mere
trap OF number of sentimentalists, 1.-The
champions of such an unholy alliance" and
he dwelt on the fact that If the patriots
of 10 could return and hear the people of
today arguing for union with England
they would return to their graves horri-
fled. This country is too prosperous at this
era to enter into any alliance, the speaker
said. There is no need of II, and the bene-
fits. IL any that would accrue would be to
England's gain and not the United States :.
Mr.. Albert B. Ridgway was the second
o speaker for the affirmative, and he argued
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-05-14

from the standpoint that this country 6
foundation Is based on liberty, union ana
fraternity, and this fact alone. which, he
claimed. was the keynote Of the Declaration
Of Independence, had inspired the best
orators ever since to advocate such union.
It was the natural outcome Of events; 1t
was the desired end Of the English-speaking
race, and it would be the means Of produc-
Ing peace, and not war. He referred to the
famous Monroe doctrine, and held that with
England as our ally South America could
not be colonixed by other powers.
Mr.. G. Rex Frye closed the debate. at the
outset quoting the famous Mr.. Dooley In a
way that caught the audience. He held
that an alliance would naturally result dis
astrously to the cause Of the United States,
and that American labor would be cheaper
ed considerably. He used Ridpath, the his
torian, as his authority on this subject. He
showed Englands lack of harmony in any
thing unless in matter which is for Eng
lands benefit, and said that the triple al
lance, Of which England was the head and
center, had caused more trouble and blood
shed than anything else in Europe In the
past fifty years.
During the intervals Mr.. Maurice F. VII
sack sang several solos and the University
Glee Quartet-Messrs. Battle, Desmond, Ma
guire and Vilsack-gave many of it's best
songs. all of which were duly appreciated
by the audience.
