PANAMA CANAL TREATY
NO HOPE OF FAVORABLE ACTION
BY COLOMBIAN CONGRESS.
Friends of the Treaty Have Aban-
doned Work in it's Interest-The
Treaty is Now Considered to be
Practically Dead.

Washington, September 5.-That the
United States government has no
hopes of favorable action by the Co
lombian congress on the Panama ca
nal treaty, was made plain tonight
when a high Official of the state de-
partment declared that the treaty was
practically dead, although the Colom-
bian congress has until the 22nd Of
this month to act upon it.
Official advices received here convey
the intelligence that the friends of the
treaty at Bogota have abandoned
their efforts in the interest of ratltlca-
ton. and some of them have departed
for thefr homes. These adv1ces tend
to show that the representatives
of Panama to the Colombian congress
will represent to their government the
advisability of seeding from the CEN
trail government and taking up the
negotiations with the United States
for the building of an isthmian canal.
Although Panama does not control the
entire proposed canal strip, the init
nation is made that she has devised
a means whereby this may be accom-
DliShed.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN ON
AT WINCHESTER PARTY LEADERS
ADDRESS CROWDS.
paign Will be an Aggressive One.
The Two Parties Must Stand Upon
Their Records

Winchester, KY, September 5.-A
crowd estimated at from 1000 to 10, 900
was present at the opening of the demo-
cratic state campaign here today.
Speeches were made by Governor Beck
ham, Senators McCreary and Blackburn
and Congressman Ollie James. Special
trains from Cincinnati, Louisville, Lex
ington and other places brought large
delegations. During the forenoon Cow
ernor Beckham held a reception and
was visited by many political leaders
from various parts of the state
Thousands of gallons of burgoo were
dispensed. Attorney Robert Franklin.
of Frankfort, fresh from the trial OF
the Goebel murder cases, attracted
much attention.
Governor Beckham said in part:
Il intend that the contest shall be
an aggressive, not a defensive one.
that the people shall be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the issues involved, and
| that in the full light of public view the
democratic party, willingly and the re-
publican party unwillingly must stand
upon their respective records, and let
the people judge between them.
THAT the democratic officials have
done everything in their power to put
an end to the troubles in Breathitt
county no one disputes. They were
purely local, and not half as serious as
the feudal outbreak in Clay county
during the last administration. If the
| republicans had shown the same desire
to punish the assassins of William
Goebel that the democrats did to punish
! Marcum's assassins, both crimes would
| now be avenged.
Il am glad to give hope to you of a
| brilliant victory at the polls in Novem-
Der. I ask for the democratic people
| of Kentucky that they be not satisfied
| with small majority, but that they
| shall roll up such a tremendous vote
| one that will remove for a long time
| to come all danger of republican su-
| premacy, take Kentucky absolutely out
| of the doubtful column and send good
| cheer to the hearts of the national
democracy. The democratic party in
| Kentucky is more united and har1o-
NOUS now than it has been in ten
| years. Most of those who left us in
| 1896 and 1899 have returned to the fold
| and we should greet them with hearth
ness and cordiality. Let the past he
| forgotten and let US stand together
| henceforth, shoulder to shoulder, as
| democrats with our heart full of devo-
| tion for the welfare of our state and

LEAVE
Commander Peary Briefly Outlines
His Plan of ActiOn-There Are Sew
eraI Distinctiye Features of the
Methods He is to Use-The Navy
Department Has Granted Him a
Leave OF Absence for Three Years.
He Hopes to Start for the Pole by
the First of Next July.

Washington. September 5,-Com-
mander Robert E. Peary, United States
navy. the we'll known Arctic explorer
will make another dash for the North
Pole. Leave OF absence for three years
has been granted him with the permis-
sion of the president by Mr.. Darling,
acting secretary of the navy and he
has been assured Of the hearty sympa-
thy of both these officials in his new
venture.
In his letter of application for leave
of absence, Commander Peary briefly
outlines his plan of action. In sulta-
BILE ship built in one of our best ship
yards, reinforced and strengthened to
the maximum degree and fitted with
American engines $50 that she may go
north as an exponent of American skill
and mechanical ability" Commander
Peary hopes to start with his expendi-
ton about the first of July next.
Upon arriving at the Whale Sound
region, he will take on board large
number of Esquimo and establish a
permanent base at Cape SABINE.
Thence he will force his way north
ward to Grant Land, where he hopes
to esta blish winter quarters on the
northern shore. AS far as practicable
along the route, he will establish caches
The following February, with the ear
liest returning light he will start due
north over the Polar pack with a small
light pioneer party and followed by a
large main party.
In his letter of application to Acting
Secretary of the Navy Darling for leave
Of absence, Commander Peary says:
Il should expect to accomplish the
distance to the pole and return in about
| 100 days or a little more, an average
travel Of about ten miles a day. Re-
turning l should break the ship out
| late in the season and return home.
IF ice conditions the first year were
such as to prevent reaching the north
ern shore of Grant Land, should win
| ter as far north as practicable and
| force the ship to the desired location
| the following year. In this event, the
| expedition would be gone two years
| Distinctive features of Commander
| Peary's plans are the use of individual
sledges with comparatively light loads
| drawn by dogs; the adoption of Eskimo
methods and costume and the fulles
utilization of the Eskimos themselves.
| Commander Peary believes the ad
vantage of his plan and route are {
| fixed land base one hundred miles
nearer the pole than any other route
a more rigid ice pack extending furth
er poleward than is to be found on tn
opposite side of the pole; winter lane
base on which to retreat and a wei
beaten line of communication and re
treat from winter quarters to compare
lively low ATTITUDES, which is practic
able at any season of the year.
