Treaty VIII Not Be Passed.

New York, June 16.-The canal
treaty will not be passed by the Co
lombian congress, called to meet on
June 20, says Herald dispatch from
Bogota. Colombia. This is the con.
census of the best informed opinion in
the republic. Notwithstanding many
rumors that have been sent from the
capital, the fact remains that congress
does not dare defy the wishes of q
majority of the people in the matter.
Should 1t be left to public vote the
test would show an overwhelming ma
jority antagonistic to the proposition.
Public opinion is unanimously against
the canal. Doubtless there will be an
effect on the part of the government to
induce congress to ratify the treaty,
but this support will not sway the op
ponents of the measure.

DRUM WITH HISTORY
Captured at Bunker Hill by Revo-
lutionary Troops.
1t Bears the sears of Battle, Bnt Re-
tains Its Tone 30 Perfection
Relic Now Owned by
G.. A. X. Post.

One of the most valuable historical
relics in the United States is an Eng
lish snare drum, the property of Rich
ard A. Pierce post, q. A. H., Of New
Bedford, Mass Several American his
torieaI societies have long tried TO
secure possession Of it, FORT if 81 reso-
lutdonary fame, aud proba ~s Is the
only one in existence which is assoc
ciated with the first battle for Ameri-
can independence-Bunker Hin,
1t is battle SCARED and battered and
bears the marks of service in that hiss
toric battle, when the men Of 1775 de-
termined to no longer stand the OPP
preston OF the mother country.
1t has been in the family of Levi
Smith, of Providence, K. l., until re-
Gently, when Israel Smith, Jr.. the
leaderof the famous hirty-third Mass
achusetts regiment band, now a resi-
dent of New Bedford. presented it to
the post of which he is a comrade, and
it is safe 10 say that theywill not part
with it until the great majority of that
organization have joined their COM
rades who sleep in peace. Then it will
adorn some conspicuous place in n
Of the government buildings at Wash
ington.
1t descended to Israel Smith, Jr.,
from his grandsire, Levi Smith, who
was a drummer boy in one of the Rhode
Island companies, which followed the
Quaker soldier, Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
to Massachusetts,, TO lend aid TO the
| cause so dear to the heart of every
loyal American.
When given to the grandfather OF
Mr.. Smith that gentleman on his first
furlough took it with HAM to his home
in Providence, and after repairing a
piece of the barrel, which had been
knocked out by a bullet and bracing the
barrel on the inside, made this relic of
Bunker Hill serviceable, and used 1t
during the balance of his term as a
revolutionary soldier.
The grandfather was an expert on
such an instrument, as was also his
