WILL TAKE NO ACTION.
Colombia Will Content Herself with
Protests to Europe.

Paris. Nov. 9-Beyond making protests

republics of South America. Colombia.
said Senior Pasado. the Colombian consul
here to the correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press II do not believe my gov
eminent will take action against the
United States. ] do not believe the pro-
tests will be effective here; but the re-
publicS of South America may well ask
themselves if the United States will not,
when her interests demand it, take pos
session of them or encourage revolutions
in their territory.
ANYONE can see the independence of
Panama is but a long step towards Amer-
can annexation. Reports are current that
the states of Cauca and Antinoquia are
also in revolt; but while Colombia per-
hapS, will not resist separation from Pan
anna, she certainly will oppose by force
of arms the withdrawal of the state of
Cauca, which comprises almost half of
Colombia and Antinoquia. probably the
richest in the confederation.
I'VE have 900 men available and large
quantities of arms and ammunition have
been gathered together to suppress the
revolution. There is no question in my
mind but that the Panama Canal Co was
responsible for the action of Panama and
that NJ. Philippe Bunau-V arlla knew
that its independence would be declared
is shown by the fact that he left here
for New York 10 days before the revo-
luton was proclaimed
There is no doubt now that the canal
will be built, but ! assure you it would
have been constructed with Colombia s
consent. though perhaps some further de-
lay might have occurred

THE YANKEE WANING.
In Hawaii Numerically, Says Governor
Dole.

Washington, Nov. Ex-Governor San

Territory CT Hawaii, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior,
says that the American element in the
Sandwich Islands is continually falling

This opinion is based on conditions in

the previous year, while the Hawaiian.
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese chill
dren in the schools number 1929, an
increase of 945. The Governor says:
THE prospect emphasizes the import
ance of giving to all children who are
American citizens good common school
education. The association of pupils of
different races with each other in school
work and the recreations of the play
ground go far toward breaking down
race prejudices, and tend to prepare
them for intelligent political action in
the future"
Other references in the report to So
cial conditions in Hawaii, AREAS fol-

tween Hawaiian women and White
men, and few between Hawaiian wom-

classes of marriages is an Improvement

The report says the statistics show a
steady increase in the last three years
in the production of sugar and an In

increase of 100000 pounds over the pre-

Governor Dole says that the majority

1T is evident that the settlement Of

holdings must be of gradual growth.
The large area of public lands held un-

this. other reasons are want Of mar

NO HURRY WITH CANAL.
New York Authorities Will First Test
Electricity as a Motor.

Albany, N y. Nov. 9-Owing to the
great Importance of the project to build
the 1,O00-ton barge canal no step will be
taken by the State authorities to carry
out the provisions of the law approved at
the polls, last week. until the legislature
meets and is able to give the matter due
consideration The opinion prevails here
in official circles that the expenditure of
SOL 100000 is something to be undertaken
only after it has been shown that the con-
templa ted Improvement is the only meth
Cd by which the commercial supremacy of
the State can be restored and just now
there is strong notion that it is not.
The official heads Of the state govern
ment are inclined to believe that the sys-
tenn of towing canal boats by electricity
can be developed SO that it will accom-
plish the same results that are promised
for the barge canal. The system tested
recently at Schenectady. 1t is thought. IN
GENTLY to warrant definite statement as
to whether or not electricity is an econom-
ic and practicable power for hauling canal
boats.
If it is demonstrated absolutely that the
system meets all the requirements. the
legislature may be called upon to repeal
the act passed by the last legislature and
approved by the people yesterday. 1t has
gravity of such step, for it would ap-
parently mean refusal to comply with
the expressed will of the people. They
argue, however, that if the Legislature.
WINGED that an electric motor system will
do all that a barge canal will do. SAYING
the expenditure of n very great sum. no
just criticism can be passed if the legis-
lative repeats the bragg canal law.
Naturally, a considerable part of Cover
nor Odelrs message to the next legisla-
ture will be devoted to the barge canal
project, and certainly nothing will he done
toward raising money for the improve
ment until the message has been sent in.
According to the law the commissioners
of the canal fund will take the first step.
These commissioners are the Lieutenant
Governor the Secretary OF State, the
Controller, the State Treasurer and the
Attorney General. The law authorizes
the preliminary appropriation of SD. 900. 900.
to be raised by the sale of bonds and OF
abandoned canal property. The bonds
are to be issued by the State Controller
under the supervision of the Canal Fund
Commissioners. This first issue OF bonds
must cover the work for two years
Thereafter not more than 100000 900 of
bonds may be issued at any one time
