PATIENCE ABOUT GONE
THE PRESIDENT PREPARED TO
TREAT WITH NICARAGUA.
Colombia to Be Informed Of Feeling
Regarding the Isthmian
Canal Project.

Important conferences have been In
progress lately between Secretary Hay
and persons connected with the Panama
canal enterprise, the outcome of which Is
a determination to terminate the negota-
tions with Colombia one way or the other
in short order. The reports that come from
Colombia respecting the outlook for the
ratification of the treaty are conflicting
One day it is stated that the opposition
has mustered sufficient force to prevent
ratification, and the next day the depart
ment is told that the chances for the treaty
have frightened Secretary Hay has
awaited the return to Washington OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt before taking any decided
steps in the matter but he is now In posi-
tion to act. The Presidents patience is
we'll nigh exhausted, and the Colombian
government is to be made aware of that
fact. On the Goth instant the Colombian
congress will convene and Its proceedings
will be watched with the greatest interest
here If it shows an earnest purpose to
consider the treaty a due allowance of time
will be made by our government II there
is an evident purpose to delay ratlncatons
beyond a reasonable time then the treaty
negotiations it is declared, will be abruptly
terminated and the President then Will
proceed to carry out the next 1nstructlon
OF COngress-namely, to arrange with MICA
ragua and Costa Rica for the acquisition or
canal rights.
William Nelson Cromwell. the general
counsel of the Panama Canal Company,
called on Secretary Hay yesterday and
talked with him regarding the status of the
Panama canal treaty in Colombia as re-
vealed in his latest advices from that coun-
try Mr.. Cromwell is optimistic as to the
treatment of the treaty at the hands Of the
Colombian congress. which meets In spe-
cial session June 20. The membership OF
the congress comprises twenty-nine sena-
tors and sixty-four representatives The
vote of majority of each house Is neces-
sary to the ratification of the treaty. Mr..
the treaty, in all probability. will be of a
prolonged and critical character, he has an
abiding belief that the treaty will be
finally ratified, though there is, he added,
a stubborn opposition to the treaty in some
sections which will have to be overcome in
order to obtain ratifCa ton.

ORDERS TO SUMNER CANCELLED.
South Atlantic Squadron Will Not Go
to Valparaiso.

The orders for the South Atlantic squad
ron to proceed to Valparaiso have been
revoked by reason of the receipt of dis
patch from the United States minister to
Chile which indicates that their presence
is not needed.
The explanation given at the State De-
partment for the sudden change Of plans
regarding the squadron Is in substance
that the department had for some time past
been receiving advices from various sources
indicating the existence of serious stu
alton in Chilean seaport towns owing to
formidable strike of dock laborers. These
strikes had resulted in severe rioting and
the destruction of property The Navy
Department was advised of the serious sit
uation, and an intimation was given that
the presence of an American warship at
the scene of the trouble was advisable
The Navy Department awaited develop
ments, and finally decided to send the
South Atlantic squadron from Montevideo

HISTORIC DOCUMENTS FOUND.
Chicago Water Tunnel Gives Up In
teresting Relics.

CHICAGO. June 9.-Many documents of
historical interest, which lay for thirty
six years in the bottom of a tunnel lead
ing to the Chicago avenue pumping sta
ton. have just been recovered. They were
inclosed in a copper cylinder.
Among the articles are records of the
department Of public works of dates be-
fore the Chicago fire, which now either
are not extant or exceedingly rare. Pho
tographs in a wonderful state of preser-
walton will. when remounted. throw light
on the city's earlier history.
The first tunnel from the lake to a
pumping station was from the two-mile
crib, begun in 1865 and finished March l.
1867. At the shaft from which work on
land there was run a blind lead' of fifty
feet, which was walled of and left for
possible future use.
1t is believed by city hall officials that
the completion of this first tunnel was
marked by celebration, and that the ar
ticles were deposited in the blind" as
a memento OF the occasion.

sion bureau returned to his desk this morn
ing after an absence Of more than two
weeks in Kansas. He went to Kansas to
attend to some private business. He was

through Topeka, drains a greater territory
than the whole of New England. and that
the rain filled up this river until it over
flowed its banks. When the immense vol

bed the water swept over the Intervening
territory and engulfed Topeka Mr.. Ware

garding the flood because Of the pressure of
