Washington, Jan. 24-The treaty
between the United States and Colon
bia was signed Thursday by Secretary
Hay and DR.. Herran and was trans
mitted to the senate yesterday and re-
ferred to the committee on foreign re-
lations. The treaty was read in legis-
lative session, but the injunction of
secrecy was not removed. By the
terms Of the treaty the United States
agrees to make cash payment of
$lO,00O,000 in gold to Colombia and
after the expiration of nine years is
to pay a rental of S250,000 a year
The lease of land to be used for the
canal and for canal purposes is prac-
tically made perpetual, the provision
being that the first lease shall be for
100 years and renewable thereafter in
terms of 100 years at the pleasure of
the United States. The strip is to be
about six miles in width and over this
territory the United States is given
police and sanitary Jurisdiction, al
though it is explicitly specified that
Colombia does not surrender the SOW
erelgnty over it. The United States is
to have the privilege of free importa-
ton of vessels and material to be used
in the construction of the canal, and is
also given the right to improve, use
and protect the harbors at both ends
of the canal. The grant is made ex-
o1r 10 TT,os4
taxes or rentals are to be charged in
addition to the gross sums of $10,000,-
900 in cash and S250,000 annually.
The committee on foreign relations
will meet today to condition the
treaty.
Cabinet Likes the Treaty.
Yesterdays meeting of the cabinet
was one of the most important held in
several weeks. Subjects of great mo-
ment were discussed fully. Secretary
Hay presented draft of the Panama
canal treaty signed Thursday evening
and both the president and his associ-
ates expressed satisfaction with the
results achieved.
AS Spooner Would Have 1t.
The treaty is identical with that
darwin by this government several
months ago and at that time submit
ted to Colombia with the single ex-
ception of the amount of annuity to
be paid for the right of way of the
canal.
Colombia demanded $850,000 and
that has ben the point of difference for
many weeks and at one time threat
ened to break off the negotiations en-
tirely. For several days active efforts
were made to secure an agreement,
but not until Thursday were they sue
cessful All other points remain as
they stood in the original draft. The
United States will have the control of
the canal practically in perpetuity as
required by the Spooner act.
All port dues on vessels passing
through the canal are to go to the
United States by way of Offset for the
annuity payments.
Bombardment Was Unwarranted.
The Venezuelan situation was dis
cussed at length, but it can be said on
authority that there is no change in
the attitude of the United States nor
is there any in contemplation at this
time. The bombardment of fort San
Carlos is regretted sincerely by the ad-
ministration, because of the apprehen-
sion that it may oomplicate seriously
the nanding negotiations between
Minister Bowen and the powers. How
ever, while the administration regards

Warships and Danger.

l. Foreign naval demonstrations are
serious affairs, not to be entered upon
lightly, when the conditions in a cOun-
try are like those in Turkey today. Our
government once sent n WarShip to
Havana, with a result that cost the
United States many thousands of SOL
liers' lives and a. vast treasure of
money. The Spanish war, perhaps,
would have come had not the Maine
been ordered to Cuban waters ;ryet the
fate of the Maine illustrates the Grav-
ity of such operations in the ports of
nations which are struggling with in
ternal evolution.-Springfield Repub-
lican.
1t is Il little surprising to hear it as
serted ut this day, even by an "anti'
newspaper. that there was not impera-
tive need for an American warship at
Havana in the winter of 1898. This
with Spain in dealing with the condi-
tons in Cuba, and there were hun
dreds of American citizens on the
island, engaged in legitimate business,
who were being subjected to grossly
offensive treatment by the Spanish au-
thorities. The presence of the Maine
had an immediate effect for good. The
tension was at once lessened, and
some authorities have declared that if
a naval demonstration had been made
earlier the breach would not have be-
come so wide but what Cuban liberty
might have been won by diplomatic
means without any resort to war.
Whatever the agency which dcs-
troyed the Maine it is certain that its
destruction FASTENED the war which
had then become inevitable in any
event. Eut if this government had
known in advance that it would be the
subject of hostile attacks, it would have
1t was not a time to finch in the face of
danger. Our warships are made to be
sent to scenes of disturbance and to
carry the flag where American inter-
ests are menaced. There may be dan
ger at the Turkish harbor as there was
at Havana, but it will take stronger
reason than that to keep our fleet away
if duty calls it there. The navy does it's
nohlest work when it preserves peace,
but there are emergencies which it
cannot hesitate to respond to, what
ever the cost or consequence. Such
an emergency was that at Havana
in 1898. Whether there is now need of
our warships in Turkish waters is
another story.

The End Seat Problem,

Throughout the summer months we
read much about the end seat hog"
We also see much of him, if we travel
often by trolley, and frequently tum-
BILE over him, possibly finding ire
sistible the temptation to step some
what viciously upon his toes. He is
pointed out as the embodiment of
everything that is selfish. and unac-
commodating, and upon his head is
poured the wrath of the trolley travel
ing public. Houston, Texas, is the
first city, as far as we know, where
the feeling against the end seat hog has
become SO intense that legal measures
have been taken to suppress him. The
women of the city petitioned the city
government, and that body adopted an
ordinance which declares that the
passenger who occupies the end seat
and refuses to make room for others is
guilty of an offense punishable by a
neavy fine. Now the end seat hog will
probably protest that such an ordinance
is unconstitutional, and We can see
trouble ahead for those who try to en-
force it,
But what is the real reason why
everybody reviles the~~end seat hog?
Isn't it because each person wants the
seat himself: We suspect it is. The
end seat mas many advantages, and the
person who gets it cannot see why he
mas not a better right to it than the
man who comes along later. The late
conner says that the man who clings to
the end seat obstructs the way to the
remaining seats, and the end seat hog
retorts that the obvious remedy is for
the company to have a wider passage
between seats. In some big trolley
cars, like the Maranacook, Cobbossee-
cOntee and WOrrOmontoguS on our local
line, where the seats are arranged as
on railroad cars, the end seat problem
is reduced to u minimum, but relative
ly few electric cars are built that way.
And SO the controversy RACES every
summer. With the coming of winter
and closed cars it dies down only to be
renewed with greater vigor when the
warm days of spring arrive. The work
ing of that Houston ordinance will be
watched with interest. If the women
have their way and it is strictly en-
forced, we wager that some of the
petitioners will themselves be paying

The Heart Of the Hills.

There's a wonderful country, lying i,
Far off from noisy town,
Where the wind-fioWer swings,
And the vecry sings,
And the tumbling brooks come down.
'Tis a land of light and laughter.
Where peace all the woodland fills;
Ills the land that lies
Meath the summer skies,
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road to that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates of care;
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there;
And a voice from that land is calling,
In the rush of IA thousand rills,-
Come away. away,
To the woods today
To the heart of the happy hills
Far away in that wonderful country,
Where the skies are always blue,
In the shadows cool,
by the foaming pool,
We may put on strength anew;
We may drink from the magic fountains
Where the wine of life diStllS;
And never Il care
Shall find us there,
In the heart of the happy hills.
