IS A CITY OF HILLS
Capital OF PortueAI
S u n n u


Lisbon is a city all up and down
hill The seven hills of Rome are
nothing to 1t; it seems to be built on
about fifty, and to facilitate matters
there are numbers of small cog-wheel
cars continually ascending and de-
scending from one level to another
apparently always full. There is also
g vast system of open electric street
cars for the level places, called car
ros Americanos, built in Philadelphia.
No other city of its size in Europe
possesses so many parks and public
gardens, and recently laid out av-
enues, and surely no other can be so
noisy. The people do not seem gay
and laughter-loving like those of
Southern Spain, but the traffic seems
enormous perhaps because it is con
fined within a small space and the
din and hustle cease but for an in
considerable time during the small
hours of the morning.
The chief open space is the Praco
do Commerce., large and handsome
square, which is surrounded by pub
lie buildings. The harbor is one of the
finest in the world, and the quays ex-
tend between two and three miles
along the bank of the river. The town
itself is a place of remote antiquity.
It's earliest name was Olisipo, by
which it was known when it was the
capital of the Lusitanians. 1t has
been held since then, in turn, by the
Romans, the Goths, and the Moors,
but IN 1147 Alphonso |. of Portugal

ever, befell it Nov. 1, 1855, when in
less than ten minutes the greater
part of the city was made heap of
ruins, from 10000 to 10000 persons
were killed, and damage was done to
the amount of nearly twenty millions
sterling by one of the greatest earth
quake commissions. on record.
There are several other rather
queer things in Portugal, but the beds
are the queerest. A wooden floor
sometimes seems to yield, the human
form adapts itself, fits in as it were
more or less to the inequalities of a
rock surface; but these beds are ad.

one more thing which is almost

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK

Bogota, Colombia. July 6-(Copyright.
19oS)-In the Colombian Senate vigorous OBJ
jections to the Hay-Herrau canal treaty
have been made because 1t does not bear the
signature Of President Marroauin.
There have been stormy discussions over
this point. Doctor Luis Carlos Rico. the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. delivered two
hours address. during which he declared
that the treaty should not bear the Presi-
dents signature before final approval.
Former President Caro-, in speech. in
sisted that the Government should defend
the treaty and not leave the responsibility
to the Senate. At that juncture the Senate
adjourned. The discussion Is being contin-
ued.
The Caucan delegation in the House Of
Representatives moved that there be pre-
liminary debates on the treaty question.
The motion was defeated by a vote Of 80
to 9, on the ground that no debates were
possible until the Senate had transmitted
the treaty to the House.
1t is said that four members Of the House
Canal Committee are decidedly in favor OF
the Hay-Herrau treaty, while three are
against the measure and two are doubtful,
one of whom Is a Government partisan.
The canal campaign is now on In earnest
and the indications are that the debate will
be protracted and definite action long da-
layed.
