George Harvey Stetson Recaptured
After Brief Term of Liberty.

George Harvey Stetson is again in GUS
tCdy. When he walked away. from the
attendants at the hospital for the insane
yesterday he went in the direction of neigh
boring woods. Six miles away across the
District border in Prince Georges county
he stopped on the farm of a man named
Brooks. where he spent the night in hay
rick. This morning shortly after daybreak
he left his cold bed and took to the road
Not knowing anything about that part of
the country. he made a start in this direc-
ton and was met on the road by Irving
Allen, who was coming to this city with a
lead of wood. The farmer offered him
seat on the wood, which he accepted, and
from his conversation the driver soon be-
came convinced that his passenger had es-
capped from the asylum. A pie bought at
country store furnished a breakfast for
Stetson. His conversation with Allen was
chiefly about wealth He claimed to own
miles of railroad lines and several steam
boats. and was not inclined to be selfish
about his wealth. 1t was not until Good
Hope was reached that Stetson announced
that he would not return to the asylum
Then there was trouble in store for the
farmer. Policeman Dyer was called to the
rescue, and he escorted Stetson to the
Anacostia station.

WAS CORRECT FORECAST.
The Stars Prediction Regarding New
Canal Treaty.

The signing of a new canal treaty ny
Secretary Hay and the Panamaian minister
last night proves the correctness OF the
position taken by The Evening Star as early
as November T. 1t was then generally
asserted that the administration wouih
utilize the Hay-Herran treaty, simply SUD-
stituting Panama" for Colombia.
The Star learned from an undoubted au-
thority that such would not be the pro-
cedure, but that an entirely new treaty
would be negotiated. The Star said No
vember IL:
Assertions have gone forth to the effect
that the administration desires 10 Simply
have Panama ratify the treaty that was
rejected by Colombia with belief that such
action would dispose of the question.
There are many reasons why this course
is not being thought of Al the present time
In the first place. the sentiment in the Sen
ate as indicated in The Star several days
ago, is altogether against such a course.
and it is asserted that the administration
has not seriously considered it.
Now that the proposition has again come
up between the United States and Panama
treaty He will incorporate into it many
amendments that discussion has suggested
as desirable, and it is believed that a far
more acceptable instrument will be accept
ed by Panama than was the case with Co
lombis. While the United States may not
secure sovereignty over the strip of land
to be taken for the canal, yet ii will receive
concessions that will be equivalent to SOW
ereignty, such absolute control. with
power to police and defend the work under
all conditions, and to maintain courts of
justice for the trial of all persons who may
come before them.
1T is yet problem just how long II will
take to negotiate another treaty, but ii is
believed that il will be Forthcoming very
promptly"
AS to ratification by the United States
Senate The Star said (and the statement
stands now a it did them:
$50 far as republicans of the Senate are
concerned there is no doubt that this treaty
will be ratified by the Senate. There are
fifty-eight republican senators, while sixty
votes will be necessary to ratify the treaty.
1t is not known that there is q single dis
senting voice on the republican side toward
the course that is being pursued TO secure
a new treaty That makes necessary but
two additional votes to secure ratification.
and no doubt is expressed that they will be
forthcoming from the democratic side"

ARR YET CONSIDERING
Matter of Appointment Of the Wallis
let Unsettled.
LIGHT OF TRANSFER
Rather Than a Promotion Is One
of the Views of the Situation
That Is Taken by Some
of the Officials.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The state de-
partment still has under consideration
the matter Of the appointment of the
retiring vail of Beirut to be vail oil
Brusa. At the present the officials are
disposed to regard the appointment in
the light OF a transfer rather than j
promotion, but a further inquiry into
the facts by Minister Leischman may
change this view of the case. 1t was
said at the state department Monday
that it was the original intention Oh
the sultan to appoint the former val
of Beirut to be subseCretary of the
department OF the interior, and ii is
intimated that the strong representa-
tons against the appointment made
by Minister Leischman were effective
In his cablegram Mr.. Leischman states
the American claims against Turkey
are not receiving satisfactory atten-
ton by the porte. The state depart
ment received a long cablegram from
Minister LeisChman at ConstantinopIe
but nothing was given out regarding
II except the informal statement that
1t contained no alarming news. and
was in part concerned with routine
business. Withdrawal of the Ameri-
can squadron from Beirut, it was said
has not yet been determined on. anl
