FRANCHISE TO BE GRANTED.
Power to Be Furnished for Various En-
terprises in Manila.

Governor Taft has cabled the War De-
partment giving some details in connection
with the franchise which is to be granted
for furnishing power for various enterprises
in Manila and elsewhere. He states that
the commission has surveyed the territory
embracing Botocan Falls, at Manila. pro-
vince of Magma, and Lamot and Caliraya
rivers nearby. and that 1t has been discov-
cred that at least 10000 horse power may
be developed from these sources.
The distance from Manila to the point In
question is ffty-five miles. and Governor
Iaft states that few engineering difficulties
will be encountered. The local elec ric
lighting company of Manila, backed by
strong capital desires to develop the power
or the Angat river, in Bulucan a distance
OF thlrty-fve miles. The Philippine gov
ernment, however, should it decide to grant

philippine government believes that the

tract and regulation to price of power
and equal service. An opportunity probably
will be given American investo to bid on

Of the car left Chicago at $3.50 o'clock this
morning with one guard and about S25,OO0

believed, was the object Of the attack Of
the two men. Gangh1n was taken to st.

shoulder had been dislocated and he had
sustained severe bruises. If he had not

TREATY NEARLY ENDED.
Colombia Makes Representations in
Regard to New Convention
Situation Unchanged.

Within one day Of the expiration Of the
time limit for the exchange Of ratiications
of the Hay-Herran Panama canal treaty
the State Department is still without any
request from the Colombian government
for the extension of that period. Exten-
sion can be obtained by means of supple
mentary treaty which could be signed on
short notice by Acting Secretary of State
Adee and by Mr.. Herran, the Colombian
charge, but such a convention must even
tually be ratified by the American and Co.
lombian senates.
At the State Department today the canal
situation was said to be in the same hope
less state as described in the cablegram Of
Minister Beaupre received Saturday. While
1t is possible that the Colombian congress
may at the last moment be stampeded in
favor of the canal treaty, the State De-
partment is not optimistic enough to eX-
pect any such occurrence
The Colombian government has not asked
for an extension of time for exchange of
ratifications, but representations have been
made in regard to a new treaty. DIR. Her
ran, the Colombian charge, recently called
at the State Department and advised Act
ing Secretary Adee that the Bogota gov
ernment desired to continue the canal ne
gotiations in case the pending treaty failed
of ratification. The State Department has
not replied to that representation, and will
probably not do until after the final OBJ
sequies of the present treaty. The Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay are in close COM
munication with the State Department re-
garding the canal advices from Bogota.
Secretary Hay was expected to return to
Washington this week, but since the re-
ceipt of Minister Beaupre's cablegram indi-
eating that he had abandoned hope, it is
said at the State Department there will be
no occasion for the Secretary's return to
Washington at this time.

understood that it is a proposition which
will keep alive the canal negotiations with
the Colombian government beyond the date
on which the existing treaty expires by
limitation.

Report Not Confirmed.
APPEALS TO DEPARTMENT.
This Government Asked to Take Ac-
tion Regarding Reported Atrocities.


Nothing was given out at the State De-
partment concerning a long cablegram
which came today from Minister Leishman
at Constantinople, except the informal
statement that it contained no alarming
news and was in part concerned with rou-
tine business Withdrawal of the American
squadron from Beirut. it was said, has not
yet been determined upon. and no intimation
has been received from Oyster Bay as to
the Presidents intentions in the matter.
Communications have reached the State
department urging this government to say
or do something that will put stop to the
atrocities in the Levant. 1t is said that this
pressure does not emanate from the mis-
Flonarfes, who have been appreciative of
the difficulties in the way of the Washing
against an insurrectionary condition pre-
vailing in the sultans empire.
Officials at the State Department are reti-
cent about the probability of the United
States making any representations either
through Minister Lefshman at CONSTANT
nople or through a joint note to the pow
ers. 1t is pointed out that it would be
an extremely difficult matter for the United
States to address representations on the
subject either to Turkey or to the powers
in view of the direct interest Of the Euro
pean powers and their responsibility foy
conditions in the Ottoman empore.
Chekib Bey. the Turkish minister, has
received a dispatch from his government
denying the reports which have been pub
ushed In certain European newspapers that
the reserves in garrison at Pristina Voul-
chetrin, Novi Bazar. Senitche and Metro
Vita are engaged in aggressions against
the Christian Inhabitants In those places
and are committing acts of proclamation in
the churches. The minister's advices are
that in response to inquiries made by the
porte of the authorities at those cities the
reply was that the publications referred

STEAMSHIP INVENTION.
Propellers Placed at Bow Instead Of
Stern to Get Higher Speed.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, September 21.-
VIII the steamships Of the future be pulled,
instead of pushed. along as at present?
This question has been answered in the
affirmative by A. H. Gilmore. the former
business manager of the first morning
paper ever published in Newport News Mr..
Gilmore has just made application to the
patent office at Washington for patents on
a remarkable invention which he believes
will revolutionize navigation by steam
power.
The invention Is regarded as a freak by
the mechanics and shipbuilders here before
whom he has exhibited it. The inventor
proposes to place the propeller wheels or
screws, at the bow instead of the stern end
of the vessel. He claims that the device
will produce double the present speed at
about one-half the cost.
II firmly believe he said today, that L
have solved the problem Of rapid transit by
water. The principle of my invention is
more easily than it can be pushed. Now
that's exactly what l propose to do to the
steamboat. Don't push it: pull 1t. 1t will
go much faster at less expense.
The propellers are placed at the front
end of the boat. OF course, they are differ
emily constructed from those now in use al
the stern. l am afraid to describe them be-
fore l receive my patents l can say, how
ever that the boat will be drawn along by
suction. On large vessel the device Will
extend fifteen or twenty feet in front of the
bow and will create a vacuum which the
boat must naturally follow.
Il believe the invention, attached TO a
warship like the Maryland, now being built
at the shipyard. would give her an average
speed of thirty or thirty-five knots insteai
of the twenty knots which she will make.
l have tried 1t a small boat here in
Newport News, and the success Of the trial
has convinced me that 1t Is entirely practi-
cable. l have had several offers for 1t,
but will not sell. 1 hope to be able to ex-
hibit the device at the st. Louis fair next

United States from any port in the Philip

SUCCEEDS CHAMBERLAIN.
King Edward Approves Lord Selborne

LONDON, September 21.-King Edward Is

Premier Balfour's private secretary in

reported cabinet appointments had not yet

Apparently Lord Miner is still consider

Well-informed persons express the opin-
ion that Lord Selborne will remain at the
admiralty to carry out the reforms he has
inaugurated.
