MORTENSEN STILL HOPEFUL.
The old aphorlsm, while there's life

that to all appearances hH has but Two

lions between the United States and
Colombia are concerned Minister Beau

with some anxiety here.
Mr. Beaupre, as has been stated, has

him To determine when he shall avail
himself OF the leave. As an earnest
desire Of the state department to con-
tinue on friendly terms with the Coz
lombian government It Is pointed out
that without bringing direct pressure
to bear, the department IL disposed to
do everything in it's power to save any
equities Colombia may have IN the,
isthmus. Thus II Is recognized as
entirely proper that some part of the
ten million dollars which the United
States government IL TO pay over to
Panama uson the ratification OF the
treaty should be allowed by the govern
ment of Panama to Colombia In pay
ment Of Panama's share Of the Colom-
bian national debt. 1t Is understood,
however that the United States gov
eminent would not offer an affront to
the Colombian dignity and honor by
rendering directly sum of money In
the nature of a bribe as Il salve for
the separation of Panama and while II
could not specify In its agreement with
Panama that any part of the ten mill
lion was to be diverted TO Colombia,
there would be no concealment of the
hopes of the United states In that mat
ter,
The present intention of the United
States government is to include In the
new treaty provision for the payment OF
$4,000, 600 to the republic OF Panama
and to no other government.

TO KEEP SENATOR SM00T

Especial to the "News.")


Washington, d. c.. Nov. 49,
Herman J. Schulters, chairman
lobby committee Of the Knights
Of Labor. has prepared and will
have presented tomorrow the
protest OF that organization
against giving Senator Smoot a
place on immigration committee.
Protest goes to committee on
committees, to which Burroughs,
Michigan, has just been assigned,
AS the latter Ia one OF the op-
ponents OF Senator smoot, he will
probably exercise all his influence
to prevent the Utah senator from
securing the place that he seeks.
Schulters was a member of the
government immigration COM
mission, which investigated the
subject Of European immigration
a few years ago, and like many
other protestants against sena-
tor smoot, he is pcnurlous with
the truth. He declares that at
that time Senator smoot was en-
ployed as the agent of the Nor
mon church In Liverpool, and
that he secured the immigration
OF 1000 polygamists each year.

SUICIDE
Randall a Scripture Reader and
Preacher.
Saws He Will End His Own Life Rather
Than Become a Pauper.. Is in
Virginia.

This big, free and open world
contains nothing for Rev. Edmond
Randall the walking scripture
reader, and he threatens to end his
career by his own hand. He Is now
over at Alexandria, Va, where he
went for the purpose Of electrifying
the people by his eloquence and
Biblical logic. He AYERS, however,
that the other ministers will lend
him no assistance and rather than
become pauper be will take his
own life.
The meanderipg minister must
have been joking. He has stood
for confinement In the penitentiary
and In the asylum for the insane,
according to the Charleston papers,
has been In the saloon business and
has followed many other vocations
for a livelihood without shuffllng
off to the next world.
Mr.. Randall Is known through.
out the State. He Is native OF
Berkeley, county, W. Va, Thirty
years ago he gave up his saloon
business to answer his "call" to
preach the gospel: He has visited
nearly every town and city In the
State and has made living some
way, but now, over In Virginia, he
says he will starve unless given
assistance. The citizens there say
he ought to 60 to work. Randall
was here several weeks.
