THE CONTENTION OF COLOMBIA
Minister Rico Says Our Government
Is Disreeardins Treaty.

Bogota, Dec. 23.-Dr. Luis Carlos
Rico, minister of foreign affairs, has
eaoled 10 General Reyes at Washing
ton under date of December 6, as fol-
lows:
IF the explanation which the United
States government has given to
the press is Of a diplomatic character,
answering the following points:
BY the treaty of 1916 the United
States did not acquire control over
inter- oceanic transit, but entered in
to obligations by which, for compen-
satory favors, it guaranteed the neu-
trality property and sovereignty of
the isthmus, the sovereignty being in
divisable.
IF the United States government
prevents the government of Colombia
from subduing the rebels, then 1t
ought to submit them to Colombian
authority.
"The United States has never pro-
tected Colombia against foreign in
vasions. Whenever that government
has interefered to prevent the inter-
ruption of traffic it has been because
of the rights granted, or on CoIombia's
request only. Only in this instance
has it interfered on its own initia-
tive. with the evident object of pro-
tecting the secessionIsts on the 18TH
mus.
IF the guarantee Of neutrality were
to be looked upon as privilege, it
would prevent the sovereign govern
ment from keeping order on the 18TH
mus. which is against the principles

Result Of Gales.

San Francisco, Dec. 23.--The Brit

Shanghai, for Royal Roads, B. c., has
reached this port with three of her
four lower masts broken off below the
tops, under jury rig Of number Of
fore and aft sails, rugged up on the
remaining stumps. The ship, which
sailed from Shanghai in ballast Oc-
tober 26, ran into a succession of ter

Pacific Coast Lumbsrmen Fail to

GREAT LOSS WILL FOLLOW
California Dealers Wanted Modifica-
cation in the Prorating of Export
Business, to Which North
ern Men Objected.

San Francisco, Dec. 2S.--The Call
says this morning that the organiza-
tion known as the Pacific Coast Lum-
bermen, which for two years past has
controlled the export trade of the en-
tire coast, has gone to pieces, after
conference in this city yesterday, of the
representatives of the leading millmen
of California, Oregon and Washington.
AS result of the discussion of the or
ganization, the lumber interests of the
coast, In so far as the export business
is concerned will, it is said, suffer a
severe blow, for the maintenance Of the
present prioes can not be hoped for,
and it is estimated that the threatened
competition that will naturally follow
will mean loss of about $1,000, 900 a
year to the producers along the coast.
The disruption is attributed to the
SluS'ti ull tHe part OF tne CdliIOrnla
representatives to sign new yearly
agreement unless certain notifications
were made In the rules of the associ-
ation regarding the operating Of the ex
port business demand which was
not complied with. With the abandon
ment Of the producers agreement, it is
expected that there will be lively cut
ting in rates, and lumbermen predict
that the price will go to $40 before
many days have passed, which means
a loss to the mills engaged in exporting
Of $1,OoO,OOO annually.
At present there is said to be an

ind the foreign markets are reported
to be well supplied, a condition which
does not augur well for the future, so

feature of the morning session of the
house was the passage of bill making
gambling a crime. The bill aroused
great interest and there was lively dis
cussion Of its terms. When the roll
was called 1t was found that the meas
ure had passed by the narrow margin
of one vote.
: The measure declares gambling to be
"a misdaneanor and fixes the penalty
for conviction at Imprisonment in the

The bill will come up for considera-
ton in the senate this afternoon,
where there will be strong opposition
to it.
The house this morning passed a bill
carrying an appropriation of 100000

the request of the government that the
right of way be secured.

Mr.. Price on Cotton.

New York, Jan. 8, 1903-The cotton
market yesterday and to-day has sold
at practically the highest prices of the
season in New York and in New Or
leans. The recent advance has been
largely due to my acceptance of ten
ders of about 100000 bales of spot cot
ton delivered to me upon January con-
tracts. The situation which / have
foreSeen from the commencement of
the season has been in a measure real
lied and discounted. In that spirit of
candor which l always observe to-
wards the public, l take this means
of announcing that / have to-day re-
sold all the cotton 1 owned and for
the present at least doubt the posi-
bility of much further advance in the
cotton market. Those who have acted
upon my judgment have had the OPP
portunity to liquidate any cotton they
have owned at the highest prices of
the season, and l am unwilling, even
tacitly, to leave any one under a mis-
apprehension of my position. At the
lowest possible estimate there remains
of this years crop to come into sight
$500, 900 bales. The worlds visible
supply of American cotton last even
ing was about 100000 bales. It is
thus obvious that there is in the world
to-day an unconsumed total of about
100000 bales of American cotton,
worth about 5000, 1000, 900 Trade in
America has undoubtedly reached it's
alogee, and / doubt seriously whether
the demand at present will be equal
to the assimilation of so large a guam
tity of cotton at current prices, which
closely approximate 8 cents per pound
Later in the season, unless consump-
ton be checked by a maintenance of
present values, it is probable that
fresh advance may be initiated, de-
pending upon the prospects of the next
crop, but for the present l am in
clined to advise all holders of cotton
to accept current figures where obtain

that the volume of business continues
on an enormous scale. The growth of
population and the spread of prosper
lty among the masses mean a great
consumption of the necessaries and
comforts of life, to say nothing of lux
uries in demand by the wealthy. The
spirit of 1avishness is abroad in sharp
contrast with a former spirit of econ
omy; and this alone is a tremendous
trade stimulant. In many cases pro-
duction, rapidly as it is increasing in
various lines, has failed thus far to
overtake consumption, and so prices
continue high. All the chief indus
tries are actively employed; and if
profits are declining, the volume of or
ders shows no diminution.
AS for conditions within the stock
market, they show distinct improve
ment. OF course national prosperity
is the bedrock of values on the Stock
Exchange; speculative excuses of the
last few years naturally produced the
recent severe reaction. But Wall street
has commenced discounting all the
good features again, and is now re-
covering from the forced contraction
that followed the imitation of 1901 and
1902. There is still large mass of I'M
digested securities to be disposed Of
and while money continues. high stocks
cannot do excessive climbing. Never
theless, the liquidation of the last
three months has done good; credit is
in better shape and money promises
to be easier following the large annual
disbursements and a return of curren-
cy from the interior.

BANKER CLEW'S VIEWS.

The Financial Outlook as Seen From
wall Street.
New York, Jan. .9.-The year opens
under somewhat different auspices
than in 1902. Then the top of the
boom" was not in sight. To-day it
has been fairly passed; at least so far
as Wall street is concerned. While the
industrial commercial and agricultural
interests of the country continue en-
joying great prosperity, Wall street
is soberly contemplating it's past ex-
cesses. The period of intoxication is
over; the depression following has
also fairly passed off, but the rank
and file are still bordering over the
extraordinary dOings of the last few
years and endeavoring to return to
more normal conditions. The result
is a somewhat confused though not
unpromising outlook.
