HAS A CANDIDATE.
Republican Committee in Nebraska
Names James l.. Webster
for Vice President.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug 19.-Nebraska
republicans, in their state convention
Tuesday, made a new record for indus
try and harmonious work. Beginning
at two o'clock in the afternoon, the con-
vention transacted it's necessary BUSH
ness and was ready to adjourn three
hours later. The nomination of Court
Commissioner John b. Barnes for as
sociate justice of the supreme court had
for weeks been forecasted, and his Sc
lection was more in the i.ature of a rat
ification than contest. The two sue
cessful candidates for regents of the
university, Charles S. Allen and w. G.
Whitmore, were nominated on the first
formal ballot. President Roosevelt re-
ceived the heartiest commentator, and
a declaration was made for his renom-
nation
The unexpected feature Of the con-
vention was the adoption by unanimous
vote of resolution declaring John l..
Webster, of Omaha, one of the delegates
to the convention and one of the we'll
known party leaders of the state, to be
the choice of Nebraska republicans for
vice president in 1904 The resolution
was offered just as the convention was
about to adjourn, and was received with
enthusiasm. Mr.. Webster expressed his
thanks for the honor in a speech Of
considerable length.

Life imprisonment
Destroyed

Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 15.-The jury in
the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the assassination
of James B. Marcum, at Jackson, KY,
Friday morning returned verdict of
guilty fixing the punishment on each at
life imprisonment. The verdict was re-
turned at time when there were but
lew persons in the courtroom. The only
attorney present was County Attorney
Webster. Jett received the verdict with
comparative Indifference and calmness.
White, who has been apparently under a
severe strain during the trial, flushed up
and his eyes filled with tears. Attorney
Golden, for the defense, stated that mo-
t1on for new trial would be made as
soon as possible. The general opinion
seems to be that the motion will be
overruled by the court and that it will
then go to the court of appeals The
verdict occasioned little surprise here
after the deliberation of the jury had
been so prolonged. The only question
which caused the delay, it is said, was
that of punishment, death or life i'm
prisonment. The verdict on the whole
is regarded as a victory for the defense,
as the prosecution asked that no middle
ground be taken and that the men either
go acquitted or be hanged.
Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 17.-Judge Os-
borne held snort session of court
Saturday morning and overruled the
motion of the attorneys for Curtis
Jett and Thomas White for a new
trial. The men Friday were convict
ed and given life sentences for the as
sassination OF ]. B. Marcum, of Breath

had overruled the motion the at

bill of exceptions. A stay of execution

Decline to itutify Panama
Convention.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-A cablegram
dated August - has been received at
the state department from Minister
Beaupre at Bosota, saying that the
Panama canal treaty has been rejected
by the Colombian senate. President
Roosevelt was Immediately advised OF
the news, Mr.. Beaupre's telegram being
forwarded to Oyster Bay.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge
d affaires, has received an official cable
gram from the Colombian secretary of
state, dated August 10, containing the
brief announcement of the senate's re-

vides that should the president be unable

ton of the canal from the republic Of
Colombia, he shall make the necessary
treaties with Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
and proceed with the construction of a
canal by the Nicaraguan route.
twill be impossible for President Mar
roquin to submit again the treaty to the
Colombian congress in its present form.
The reason given for the rejection of
the treaty by the Colombian senate. it is
said here. was the alleged encroachment
on Colombia sovereignty which its OPP
ponents contended would result from
the treaty. This information was con-
tanned in dispatch received by DR.. Her.
ran. the Colombian charge. from Foreign
Minister Ricos at Bogota This dispatch
showed that in its present form the
treaty was absolutely unacceptable to
the senate for the reason above stated
and that il had been rejected unanimous

ment of Colombia. which felt satisfied
when ii submitted the treaty to con-
grcss hat there would be no impairment
of Colombian sovereignty if the treaty
