in view OF Judge Wits recent vigorous

their trial will no doubt attract wide

State Department Has Heard
Nothing Of Prince Ching
Making Refusal.
'By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. d. O., July 23,--The
State Department has heard nothing re-
Gently from Mr.. Conger respecting the
Manchurlan negotiations. so II Is sug-
gested that the Pekin report to the
effect that the Chinese government,
through Prince Ching, has declined to
open any Manchurian ports refers to a
phase of the negotiations dating about
two weeks back. The reason for this sug-
gestion is a knowledge on the part OF the
officials here that before Secretary HaNs
departure for his summer home the Chi
nese government actually did pledge it
self ia open two or more ports In Man
churia, 1t is not deemed proper here to
indicate how these pledges We're conveyed.
whether through Mr.. Conger at Pekin or
the Chinese minister here. but as to the
fact there can be no question,
Respecting the plea attributed to China
in the Pekin dispatches to the effect that
she cannot open the Manchurian ports
because they are III the possession OF
Russian troops and officials, 1t is pointed
out here fhat as several weeks and even
months must necessarily elapse before
the new treaty can be made and become
operative there will be ample opportunity
for the Russians to eyacuate the desired
ports IL such a course Is necessary

Remarkable Runaway.

Not for a long time has such runaway
been known. Mrs. Wilkinson and a little
boy. named Joe Otey, started uptown
Yesterday afternoon. The horse took
fright in the bottom below Fifteenth and
Broad, and started to run up the hi'l
Several gentlemen noticed that the horse
was going much faster than usual for
climbing such a hlll as tnat, put thes
had no idea that 1t was running away.
They could easily have stopped 1t.
Mrs Wilkinson did not then consider the
animal lnmanageabl hut the moment
she reached the top of the hill and the
horse started off at mad speed, she saw
the situation. She kept control of herself
and the horse guiding 1t clear of the
trolley poles in the middle of the street
until Fifth Street was reached. Here the
animal dashed the buggy against
trolley pole. and Mrs. Wilkinson was
thrown out by the Jar falling out over
one side OF the dashboard. She struck
on the left side, and her head, face and
body were cut and bruised. The head and
face suffered most. One cut was received
in the side.
The horse. boy and buggy continued up
the street with speed scarcely lessened.
Like One Lifeless.
Mrs. Wilkinson lay upon the street like
one dead Many rushed to her and bore
her into N1illers drug store. The ambu-
lance was called and responded, DR.. sycle
in charge. DR.. Charles A. Labenberg was
passing, and at once did what was pos
sible. Policemen Wiltshire and schlief
rendered timely service by keeping the
crowds out OF the store. The private am
bulance of Bennett was summoned and and
after the cuts on the lady's face and
head had been bandaged by the doctors
she was taken home in the ambulance.
All the while she lay perfectly motionless
and white, as one in a. deep swoon or
lifeless
At Second and Broad the horse got rid
Of the boy and buggy. not before, how
ever, breaking the show windows of the
Grigg shoe store and the Sycle dry goods
store.
Little Joe otey was painfully but not se-
riously hurt. He was sent home. The
horse went some distance further up the
street, carrying the shafts only, and A.
nally. broken down, was captured.

MorEan's Efforts Against Panama
 Convention of No Avail.
 WASHINGTON, March 17.-The sen- ate spent six solid hours in executive session yesterday in its effort to pass on the amendments to the Panama canal treaty in preparation for the final vote on the treaty. The greater part of the day was devoted to debate on the matter of insuring American defense of the canal, the Democrats contending that the United States should be given the initiative in that respect and the Republicans urging that the interests of this country are sufficiently safeguarded by the terms of the treaty as it stands.
 A substitute for the provision of the treaty placing the defense of the canal primarily in the hands of the govern ment of Colombia resulted in test vote. As result of their frequent conferences since Senator Germans assumption of leadership the Demo crats cast solid vote in support of the amendment, the Republicans vot- ing as solidly against it. The vote was A for the Democratic amendment to 46 against it.
 During the day Senator Morgan of fered a number of his amendments, but none of them received more than ten or twelve votes. The treaty will be ratified today by very, large ma jority and without amendment. On the final vote many of the Democratic senators will vote for it.
 There were many individual confer ences between senators over the Gu ban reciprocity treaty, and as result of them it is stated, with much confl- dence, that the extraordinary session of the senate will adjourn finally be- fore the close of the present week. One hopeful Republican senator fixed tomorrow as the date of final adjourn ment, and none of either party expect the senate to sit after Friday.
