fo:nians, who can now boast without
reserve Of the GLORIOUS climate"

Grave Concern Felt Over the Situation
in Macedonia.

Grave Concern Felt Over the Situation
in Macedonia.
Constantinople, Aug. 13.-ln diplo-
matte circles grave concern is shown
at the news from Macedonia, where
the whole population seems to be be-
coming involved, even the women par
ticipating in the fights against the
Turkish troops. It is realized that
even with the best intentions the Bull
garian government will have diff
Guilty in stemming a popular outbreak
in Bulgaria in the event of the con-
tinuance OF the movement in Mace
donia.
News from Monastir and other parts
in the disturbed area is slim. Tele-
graphic communication is no sooner
re-established than it is cut again.
The pourrarlecs at Yildiz kiosk with
NJ. Zinoyieff. the Russian ambassador,
relative to the murder of M. Rest
kovski, the Russian consul at Monas-
tir continue. The Turks apparently
desire to avoid the execution of the
murderer, the gendarme named Hahn,
while the Russians insist that he shall
he publicly executed to serve as a
warning. The Russian embassy also
considers that the indemnity Of $780,
000 offered the widow is insufficient.
The settlement of the affair, however,
will! probably not be long delayed.
Ali Ria Pasha has been dismissed
from his post as vail of Monastir and
has been eXiled to Tripoli.

HURRICANE IN JAMAICA.
Fifty People Killed and immense Dam
ace Done.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 13-The
effects Of the hurricane On the island
OF Jamaica We're greater than at first
believed. Port Antonio, on the north
coast, was overwhelmed. Port Maria,
another town On the north coast, also
suffered severely. The coast is strewn
with wrechage Of local sailing vessels.
The entire eastern end Of the island
has been devastated. Villages have
been wiped out and public buildings
and churches demolished. Thousands
Of the peasantry, rendered homeless
and destitute, are wandering about
seeking food and shelter.
Considering damage to property dur
iCg the hurricane the loss of life was
comparatively small, though the pres
ent estimate now is that the death list
will reach fifty. Hundreds Of persons
were injured. The property loss is
s10,C00,OO0.

ONE COLLAR A EUSHEL.
Wheat Reaches That Price in the Min.
neapol;S Market,

Minneapolis, Aug. 15.-Wheat sold
for dollar a. bushel on the tables Of
the Chamber of Commerce in Minneap-
Oils Yesterday. This is not specula-
tive price, nor has it been occasioned
by any artificial manipulation, as was
the case the last time the market
reached SO high a figure.
This time the situation is very SIM
pie. Natural demands and ccnsump-
ton have reduced the wheat stocks of
the country to such low level that
nillers hardly know which way to
turn to get enough to keep their mills
running until the new crop comes to
market.

BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED,
Colon and the lsthmus of Panama In
Fever Of Excitement,


Colon, Colombia, Aug. 1S.-All Co.
Ion and the Isthmus of Panama is in a
fever of excitement and widespread
disappointment at the rejection of the
canal treaty by the Colombian SEN
ate. High authorities on the isthmus
express the opinion that President
Roosevelt possibly may insist on the
right of the United States to purchase
the canal enterprise from the French
company, Colombia already having
sanctioned the sale, and then take i'm
mediate steps to show Colombia that
the United States is determined to go
on with the matter; at the same time
informing the Colombian government
that the obstacles in the way Of the
transfer, viz: The question of money
and the sovereignty and jurisdiction
over the territory involved, ETC., are
questions for subsequent settlement
and possible arbitration at The Hague
The rejection is a heavy blow to
property owners at Colon who have
been investing heavily on the pros
poets of the treaty's being ratified
Panama, Aug. 18.-The unanimous
rejection Of the Panama canal treaty
by the senate has caused a profound
impression here in all circles The
question on all lips is what will be-
come of Panama. The only consola-
ton the isthmians have is that the
rest Of the republic, with the exchange
at very high figure and with an up
ward tendency, will suffer a great deal
more:
1t seems that the government never
expected the treaty to be ratified, and
it was not supported in the senate
General I.ucio Valazoo, an old vet
eran and distinguished army officer,
has been appointed military command
er of the department of Panama. 1t
is thought that the fears, caused ny
the run2ors of a secession movement
On the isthmus. may have Influenced

REJECTS THE TREATY

CONVENTION.

Communication Of the American Min

appointed Over the Action.
Bogota, Colombia, Aug. II, via Buena
Ventura, Aug. 1.-THE Panama canal
treaty has been rejected unanimously
by the Colombian senate.
It is reported that President Mario
Quin has been authorized by congress
to make a new treaty which will not
require further ratification, but that
the basis given for the treaty will
probably prove unacceptable to the
United States.
1t is considered, however, in official
circles, according to reliable informa-
ton, that the authorization given by
congress to make a new treaty will
furnish basis for reopening nego-
tiations with the United States.
1t appears that one of the objec-
tions to the ratification of the treaty
which carried weight in the senate
was that the Panama Canal company
did not come to previous arrange
ment with the Colombian government
for the transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate,
moreover, seems to have been in
fuenced by the communication made
by the American minister in which
the Introduction Of any amendments
to the treaty was objected to.
