SPIRIT OF REVOLUTION.
It Seems Ready to Burst Out in
Colombia.

New York. Aug. 31.-The spirit of
revolution is gaining in force on the
isthmus the result of the rejection
of the canal treaty by the Colombian
congress at Bogota, says a Times dis
patch from Panama.
Only vigorous action on the part of
the government can prevent an out
break. the correspondent asserts, and
it IS doubtful whether such action is
possible.
Fort Chuiriqui, and virtually the COM
mander of all the government forces in
and around Panama, is at this time the
only officer to whom the government
may look with any hope of checking
any revolutionary spirit. He is a warm
sympathizer with the canal project. AS
for the naval force, it is practically
controlled by Americans or pro-Amer-
lean Englishmen. They form the navi-
cation and engineering forces.

MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
Leaders of Missionary Work in Sunday
Schools and Young Peoples Societies

Chicago, April 20.-A conference for
the leaders of missionary work in sun
day schools INC young peoples socie-
ties of the southern and western states
will be held on Lookout mountain, in
Tennessee, on July LIS. This conference
will be similar in its general plan and
program to the conference for leaders
which was held last summer, and which
will be held again this summer at Silver
Bay, on Lake George, New York.
The purpose Of these conferences is
to bring together the strongest workers
from the Sunday schools and young
peoples societies of all denominations
for a week or more Of unhurried prayer
and conference concerning methods of
missionary work among young people.
The conferences are intended as coun-
ellis of war for the organization of a
more comprehensive missionary cam
raign among young people, and as
training schools for the better equip
ment of leaders in the campaign.
In addition to official representatives
of UNCONVENTIONAL missionary %organiza-
tons who are expected to be present,
an invitation is extended to leaders
from local societies..
Inasmuch as most of the delegates at
tend these conferences IN connection
with their summer vacations, the'pro-
grams are so arranged is to give ample
opportunity for recreation in tn. after
noon. Lookout mountain, rising 1900
feet above sea level, and 100 feet
above Chattanooga, aud overlooking
seven. states, forms an excellent start
ing point for numerous inexpensive eN-
cursions that will be organized by the
recreation committee to points of tx
ceptional natural and historic interest.
While the vacation features will be
emphasized to some extent, the confer
ence is meant to be a gathering of seri-
Gus and purposeful leaders of young
peoples work, who are in downright
earnest touching the missionary propa-
ganda.
Further information concerning pro-
gram, speakers. expense and other de-
tails may be had Upon application to
