FOR CANAL TREATY.

Washington. Oct. 1.-The state Department
today received G cable dispatch from Minister
Beaupr6, az Bogota. dated September 80 and
saying that the committee Of the Colombian
Senate which was appointed in the first debate
On the report Of the canal committee to prepare
The material for the second debate has sub
E-ic-ed its report, and il will be debated in
few days. This report approves the rejection
Of the treaty on August T. but disapproves
he proposal 70 enact z law to empower the
President TO open negotiations fo- the cOnstruC-
ton OF canal under certain specified condi-
tioEs- The object the dispatch says, apparently
is 20 leave the Colombian Government at liberty
10 negotiate fresh treaty without restrictions.
Ii seems probable Minister Beaupre says, that
the report VIII be adopted.
This news is not considered OF a favora bic
character at the state Department, indicating,
as II does that the Colombian Congress viii re-
fuse 20 give President Marroquin a free hand IN
any future negotiations.
Dr.. He~ran, the Colombian Charge d'AFaires
is without any late information regarding
affairs at Bogota. In view OF Mr. Beaupre's
messages and the press dispatches from Bogota
and Panama Dr. Herrau to-day asked his gov
eminent for d statement Of tn situation al the
present time. he does not doubt the correct
ness Of Mr.. Beaupres adviCes, but wishes 10
get infCrrla ton from his own government.

THE LAW NOT A FARCE.

Mr.. Editor: see in the Progress
Of the 9Th instant you say the whis-
key law is farce
That whiskey law must disturb
your slumbers much, as you keep
swapping at it. g.
You say laws not approved of by
the people cannot be enforced. Now,
DR.. Editor, you know there is not a
prohibition county or town in the
state that was not made so by ma
iority Of the people; therefore they
must approve of it. Then the people
puts man in office as their agent to
execute these laws as he finds them
II he is put there by the people who
know, or believe, he will not do this,
such people are no more capable of
self-government than the Cubans.
think you have the wrong mig
ger" by the ear When a man
takes the oath of Office he obligates
himself before God and man that lie
will execute these laws to the best of
his ability. If he does not, he is, the
faere, and not the law, and such a
man is not fit to hunt birds with a
setter pup. lie would spoil the pup.
Our officers may be doing their best

CHANGR OF VENUE
Granted Harper and Mccormick,
From Jones to Perry.

The case of the state vs.. DR.. J. J,
Harper and r. T. Mccormick,
charged with the murder of W B.
Lawrence end set for trial yesterday
at ElIisyille was transferred to Hat
tiesburg to be tried at the April term
of the circuit court. Sufficient proof
was presented Judge Enochs to con-
vince him that it was we'll nigh i'm.
possible to get a jury of twelve men
in Jones county whose minds were
not prejudiced against the defendant
because of. the alleged atroicous ma
ture of the crime.
Il was felt that even had the men
been allowed TO have been tried and
rhe result been q verdict Of guilty,
the defendants would have had good
grounds for reversal and q reversal
would have meant that the expendi-
tnre of much more money for the
county than was necessary. It Is be-
lieved that Judge Enochs adopted the
best course although: the people were
much wrought up over the affair and
wanted to see the trial through.
Judge Enochs has issued an order
to lengthen the April term OF the
court one week in order that there
may be plenty Of time for the trial of
this and other cases that are to come
up.
