tered upon his charge to the jury
After defining murder and the differ

charged the jury that a plea Of self
defense having been set up the jury
must be satisfied by preponderance OF
evidence that the defendant was with

that he believed he was at the time

FOR NEW CANAL TREATY.
colombian Senate Committee Submits

Its Report.
Bogota, Colombia, Oct. 15.-The SEN
ate committee charged with drawing
up bill authorizing the president of
the republic to negotiate new canal
treaty with the United States has
pre- scented the project to the senate.
1t provides that the latter must ap-
prove or disapprove the extension Of
the concession for six years granted
to the new Panama Canal company in
1900. If this is disapproved Colon
bia will reimburse s1,000,000 to the
company, with interest, and will take
possession of the canal works next
year, in which case this republic will
then be able to negotiate new treaty
with the United States. If the extern
sion of the concession is approved by
the senate the new Panama Canal
company will have until the year 1910
to fulfill its obligations.
The senate will take up the bill on
Monday.
It is pointed out that authorizations
given to the executive by the senate
to negotiate treaties are valueless. as
the executive, acco riding to the consti-
tuition, can negotiate treaties without
authorization from the senate and
present them to congress for apRroval.
and any law amending the conStitu-
ton to this or any other effect must
be sanctioned by two consecutive con-
crosses
