A CANAL ANYHOW
CoIOmbianS in New York
 Say It Will Be Built
If the Government Makes No Treaty There Will Be New Central Amer ican Republic Called Panama.

New York. Aug. 23.-The Colombians in this city and others who are inter- ested in the disposition of the Panama canal treaty say that they are inform ed by recent information that the aC tion of the Colombian senate by no means defeated the project for the building of the Panama. canal, though it has delayed it.
 No one acquainted with the feeling among the people in the interior depart ments of Colombia against the treaty expected it's entire approval. The opinion prevailed that the house com mittee on the treaty would suggest a few slight amendments, and that in this form it would be approved.
 The only one in addition to the Colom- bians in favor of the treaty who used any effort to secure favorable action on the agreement was MT. Beaupre, the United States minister. The French Panama Canal company, which is to re- ceive $40, GOO, ,000 for it's concessions and unfinished canal, if the United States should take up the work, has used no pressure to secure the treaty's passage.
 What is considered here as inconsis- tent with the defeat of the canal meas ure is the report that it was strongly favored by PreS1Qent MarrOQu1n. Local ColombiaHs, who know of the dicta- torial power exercised by chief eX- ecutive in their country, wonder why he was not powerful enough to cause the treaty's ratification.
 The important amendments suggested
 by the opposition were to the clauses giving to the United States permanent sovereignty to strip of Colombian ter ritory and the payment of the $10,000,- 900, instead of which they demanded s25. 900, 900.
 1 The disappointment expressed at Pan- ate was expected. It might, it is hint ed cause more serious results. The de- partment of Panama, commercially and financially the most important in Co., lombia, and which would be more di- rectly benefited than the interior de- partments by the completion of the | waterway, has threatened to secede from the republic unless the treaty was passed. The departments of Cauca and Bolivia. on the Pacific coast. side with their neighbor Panama in this view. The expressed intention was to estab- | fish the republic of Panama, and then take independent action on the canal of an affirmative character. These three departments have together a pOpula- tion of something over one million, of 1 one fourth of the entire population of 1 the country.

DID HE SWIM THE RAPIDS?
Little Stock Taken in Glenister's Story That He Went Through Whirlpool.

Niagara Falls. N. Y, Aug 23-Res- dents of this city take little or no stock in the claims of Jack Glenister that he, this morning. went through the whirlpool rapids and whirlpool and on down stream to the Devils Hole unsupported
 It is alleged that his party spent the night in the gorge to be in readi- ness for the journey and at 6 30 o'clock he began the trip 300 yards above the cantilever bridge. Members of his party say he passed through the rapids at the centre and did not stop in the whirlpool, being swept right out of it.
 Gorge road employees acknowledge having seen man in the water above the bridge, but say emphatically that they did not see him go into the rapids below the whirlpool.
 When they reached the Devils Hole on the regular morning run of the roadbed inspection they did find sever al men grouped about q man who. it was said, had been taken from the river.

Relieved of the Threat
 of Russian Squadron
PORTE BROUGHT TO TIME
The Demands of the Bear Having Been Acceded to With Unusual Promptness for the Sultan the Fleet Comes Back.

Constant;ncple, Aug. 23.-The Rus sian squadron has sailed from Turk ish waters.
 The porte's reply accepting the Rus sian demands was delivered twelve hours after the presentation of the Russian note a promptitude most un- usual in the history of Turkish diplo- macy. Tewfik PaSha, the foreign min ister, and Naum Pasha, thereupon called on NJ. Zinovieff the Russian ambassador and requested the with drawal of the Russian squadron from Turkish waters, on the ground that it's presence tended ot encourage the in- surrection. On the receipt of favor able reply from St. Petersburg, M Zinovieff telegraphed the order of with drawal to Admiral Krieger, command ing the Russian squadron at 1niada. A rumor has been current that the sultan appealed to the German emperor to use his good offices at St. Petersburg in favor of the recall Of the Russian squadron.
 News from Adrianople represents the situation in that vilayet as verging on panic. The insurgents have de- stroyed telegraphic communication at several points between Adrianople and Kirk Kilisse, thirty-five miles to the northeast and have burned and pill aged several Greek and mussulman villages, including KavakIi and Kizilji, southwest of Kirk Kilisse. Troops have been dispatched to Adrianaople. Two sailing vessels crowded with mus sulman refugees from villages on the Black Sea coast have arrived at Kayak at the entrance to the Bosporus. At Monastir a mussulman called the Ital- ian consul q "giaour." Strong feeling prevails among the mussulmans at Salonica and Monastir on account of the execution of NJ. Rostkowski's mur- dererS.

ENEMY HAD 10 WAIT
While the Other Side Got Ready for
 the Mimic War.

Portland, Me, Aug. 23.-The mimic war preparations have come to standstill today pending the arrival Of mere troops. At midnight last night, however, when the commander of this section, according to the rules, will be permitted to begin laying mines in the harbor. activities will be renewed on all sides. One of the most interesting features of the situation is the system of indicators on shore which are to be connected electrically with the mines and sunken Instructions in the harbor.
 No actual Instructions will be placed in the way of navigation, but such ob structions as could have been con- structed in the period allowed for preparations will be represented by dummies in the water. When a battle ship has actually come in contact with one of these mines or Instructions. or has sailed into the mined area. as will be indicated by cross observations, the electric indicators will announce the blowing up of the ship or the cross angle observation will chart the pos- sibility of such result.
 Portland, Me, Aug. 23.-The 4S-hour preparatory period which immediately precedes the attack on Portland began at 12 last night. At that time the active preparations for defense of Portland by the laying of mines and the as sembling of troops to protect against landing were begun.

The last regiment to take part in the de fense of the port, the First Massa- chusetts Heavy Artillery, arrived in the afternoon and was sent to the different Notifications about the har- bor
 Tuesday at midnight the real busi- ness of the game will begin. The forty eight hours of preparation will expire at this time and the attacks on the fortifications will commence.

THE WAY WE SAY THINGS.
Troubles of an American in England
Over His Oddities of
Speech.

A young American who had been
travelling abroad reports some of the
difficulties he had with the English
language as it is spoken in England
The most usual difficulties depend on
difference of idiom and pronunciation
for which the English like to banter
Americans. Some of the young mans
troubles are common to most Ameri-
cans who travel in England, but Others
are less familiar, although quite as in
teresting, says Youths Companion.
81 got on well enough" he says, 'un-
til they asked me if liked my coffee
with fixings, as you Americans say,
and didn't believe me when told them
I'd never heard an American say that
They tormented me about cute and
cunning and insisted that we say
guess and calculate and allow and
reckon all in one speech. They main
tain that we all say 'Amurica, which,
alas! many of us do say.

cused us of calling the rails of railway
metals and they went on about our
trick of pronouncing where and when
as If the W. and the h were inverted
which is really an old cockneyism.
'The greatest shock came when l
went into little dry goods store and
asked for a spool Of thread. 1t was
some time before they discovered that
it was reel of cotton that 1 wanted.

stuck to it. But when left the steamer
in New York and was in the sleeping
car on my way home, a man in the berth
above me stuck his head down and said {:
Partner, you amt got an extra bed

came out into grotesque relief, and Lee

came out into grotesque relief, and Lee
Quoy's heavy breathing seemed to
mark the passage of years.
The tale was done. The heavy reek
of opium and tobacco had drenched
my senses in somnolence. The demon
in the shrine was chattering impotent-
ly. The Phrase-Maker stretched out
his pallid hand to the bowl of spiced
gum, and, as he rubbed his lips, we
smiled dizziiy at each other. For in
his story there had been no woman,
nor mention of woman. This he did
not know, for a merciful forgetfulness
was come upon him, and he thought
the threads of life lay untangled.
"Fill my pipe 1 will smoke" he
said.
Lee Quoy was obedient, and I
watched, bordering.
A strange sound broke in upon my
ears. The Phrase-Maker had walked.
In his voice, terror and hatred stream
ed like p!sosphorescence in a tide race.
II am reIuembering!" he cried.
looked at the demon in the shelf
like shrine. The contorted limbs, the
writing face, the indecent posture
triumphed. Lee Quoy flung a vibrant
curse at the god.
AS his voice changed in the room, the
Phrase-Maker arose, look of blind
haste on his countenance. His green
robe flashed down over his shrunken
limbs as he Strengthened up. His
pallid, eager face pleaded for the end.
81 have lived with the living" he
whispered, through dry lips; now I
remember only. 1t has lost it's power"
And he let fall his opium pipe to break
upon the mat.
Then he slowly turned upon the god.
Putting out a barred arm he uttered the
sum of his life: Love is living. To
remember is to die"
He gazed into the fiendish eyes, and
we saw his countenance fall away, so
to speak, as face of wax before a
blazing fire. First, his mouth lost all
human semblance, and his eyes fol-
lowed, but last. In the moment of his
final look, he swayed forward, dead
at the demons feet.
And among the blackend joss-sticks
rolled ruby jewel, dimmed by years
of caress.-San Francisco Argonaut.
