MAY HELP CANAL TREATY
THE TROUBLE At PANAMA.
An argument for United States
Control of the Strip.
frnoM TIE TRIBUNE BuREAu.l

Washington, July 27.-Dr. Herran, the Colom-
bian Charge d'Affaires in Washington, while
completely at a loss to account for the conflict
between the civil and military authorities in
Panama, sees in the occurrence nothing but good
for the canal treaty In explaining this view
he says that OF the criticisms Of the treaty
which has semed to have most weight has been
the article giving the United States military au-
thority over the canal strip With the tele-
graphic and cable communication between
Panama and BOgota cut of, as ii is reported to
be at present. DR.. Herran says that the wisdom
of this article of the treaty will be made strik-
ingly apparent TO all.
There is nothing In the Panama incident which
calls for action here on the part of Dr. Herran
and he does not expect to receive direct informa-
tion the subject. Speaking of the report that
the Colombian Congress had taken up the ques-
ton of retiring the paper money OF the coun-
try, he said he could not understand the report
and declared that in his opinion it er-
roneous. President Marroquin. he said, had sub
mitted three things for the action of Congress
at the special session: First, the ratification OF
the treaty; second, provision for the retirement
OF the greenbacks and, third the reorganization
Of the finances. No basis could be formed for
the retirement of the greenbacks, he said until
the treaty had been ratified and the $1OOOOOOO
In gold secured from the United States There is
about S600.000.O00 in greenbacks TO be re-
deemed. each dollar Of which is worth only
three-quarters OF a cent. The third object, the
reorganization Of the finances, could hardly be
accomplished until the first two objects of the
session had been effected and Dr. Herran be-
leves that unless the treaty has already been
ratified the report that financial questions are
being debated is incorrect
With the continued consideration of the
treaty, it's friends in this country see brighter
prospects for its ratification. DR.. Herran says
there seems to be decided change in the popu-
lar sentiment of Colombia regarding the con-
vention, and he still maintains the belief that
it will ultimately be ratified. Extra sessions of
the Colombian Congress can be called at the
will Of the Executive until July. 1904 the date
OF the next regular session. and this special OBJ
ject can be kept under consideration in the
mean time if 1t should be found necessary.

RUSSIA CUTS OFF GRAIN.

NezC-Chcang to Japan.

Peking July 2Z.-The Russian administration or
New-Chwang has stopped the expectation OF wheat
to Japan The export of grain from Chinese ports
is Illegal but the Russians. heretofore, have is-
nored the law. In the last week the Japanese OBJ
tanned many shiploads from New-Chwang. ap-
parently preparing for war contingencies several
ships were employed in bringing wheat from Shang-
hal and southern ports to New-Chwang, where At
was transshipped a direct export The prohib-
itory order was issued by the Russian officials last
Thursday
General Kondradovitch has been placed IN charge
of six armored commercial boats and the naviga-
ton of the Lao River. which is construed here as
another sign of Russia's intention to retain New
Chwang and the command of the river. Great NUM-
bers of Russian civilians and soldiers families IL IS
reported are being brought to Manchuria, In pur-
suance, it is believed, of comprehensive plan rap
idly to colonize the province At the present rate
there will be almost O0,0G0 Russian civilians IN
Manchuria, including Port Arthur and Dalny De

LULL IN MANCHURIAN NEGOTIATIONS
Satisfactory Progress Made-Treaty May Be
Completed Next Month.

Washington. July 27.-While there has been
a luIl in the Manchurian negotiations in the last
week, It is said that up to this point satsfac-
tory progress has been made, and there IS
every reason to believe that before September
a treaty will be ready for signature which will
define the trade opportunities of the United
States in Manchuria An authorized statement
on the situation is follows:
The question OF the opening OF localities
to trade in Manchuria has been in substance
satisfactorily arranged with the Chinese Gov
ernment and nothing remains to be settled but
the question of the date when said localities
shall be opened. This naturally will be sub
sequent to the exchange of ratifcatOns Of the
treaty in which the opening is agreed upon.
