 This concern, with several others, among them the Cooperative Turf h. vestment company, operated in this city during the last racing season. Their bus mess methods were investigated at that time by postoffce inspectors, but the de- partment took no action on their reports. When the New Orleans season closed Maxim & Gay went to Washington Their methods there were made the subject of further investigation and fraud order was recommended, but the department was advised that the firm had abandoned the business and no further action was taken at that time.
 About November 1 they commenced ad- vertsng at points remote from New Or leans, soliciting investments for the New Orleans meeting. and the inspectors were directed to continue their investigation, the result being the issuance of fraud order by the postmaster general last Tuesday. the news of first which became public today. It is claimed there are eight or ten similar concerns operating in New Orleans and advertising in diff ferent sections of the country, and 1t Is the announced purpose of the postal off, cials to continue their investigation until the last one of the fraudulent get-rlch- quick concerns is driven out of business.
 The department recently caused bill to be introduced in congress bringing such enterprises under the prohibitiye features of the lottery law. A fraud or der was issued against the Cooperative Turf Investment company last August

PANAMA TO ALLOW
 COLOMBIA A PART
BUNAU-VhRILLA'S LITTLE REPUB- LIC WILLING TO DO 1.-THE SQUARE THING" BY INJURED cOUNTRY-U. S. URGED IT.

Washington, December 17.-(Special.)-- The government of Panama is willing to allow Colombia portion of the cash sum paid by the United States for the canal right of way. The amount so donated must be applied to paying the foreign debt of Colombia.
 It has been the contention of Great Britain, Holland and some other Euro- pean .powers that the new Republic of Panama should assume a portion of Co., lomblas foreign debt.
 It became known today that all of Minister Runau-Varilla's recent visits to the state department have been in con- nection with this matter. point has been reached where the Minister amour ces himself ready to sign an agreement that one-third of the $10,000,0O0 lump sum paid for the canal zone shall be turned over to Colombia for payment of her fos eign indebtedness.

ADMITS CONTRACT
 IS DISCRIMINATING
SENSATION SPRUNG IN HEARING OF INTERSTATE COMMISSION BY THE TESTIMONY OF FRANK WATERHouSE.

Washington, December 17.-(Speeia1.) J. The most significant feature of the inter- state commerce hearing today was an admission by Frank Warehouse, repre- sentating the Boston Steamship company of Seattle. Wash, of a discriminating contract between that company and the Northern Pacific railway. MT. Water house was discussing the 75 cents through rate on hemp from Manila to St Paul equally divided between the water line and the railroad.
 Docs it not come to this then" asked Chairman Knapp, that you want the Northern Pacific road to carry hemp from Seattle to St. Paul for 37ls cents when 1t is brought over by your steam eri but if brougi. o'.f on tramp steamer you want them to charge twice as much as their proportion?"
 Mir Warehouse said, If brought over on a tramp steamer, they wont take 1t.
 Chairman Knapp-Why?
 MT Waterhouse-Because they have a contract with our line which prohibits them from taking 1t.
 Chairman Knapp-You do not mean quite that. do you?
 Mir Waterhouse-Yes, sir, I mean that.
 Chairman Knapp-The Northern Pacific has an arrangement with you under which they will not carry any hemp ex- cept that you bring 1t over in your steam CTS?
 Mir Waterhouse-I mean they will not take it at the same rate. They would not make the same through rate to a tramp sailing ship, or tramp steamer that arrived in the harbor of Seattle or Ta- coma, that they would to the regular line
 This admission caused a sensation and General Counsel M. D. Grover of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern took the stand to explain the situation.

 SAYS VAR|LLA Minister from Panama Explains
 Canal Trouble COLOMBIA ACTED BADLY
He Says When Election for Congress Was Called That Country Did Everything to Bring Con-
 tempt Upon the U. S.

Philadelphia, December 17.-P. Bunau- Varila. the minister from the republic of Panama to the United States. delivered an address tonight at the regular meet ing of the members of the Acadamy of Political and Social Science, this city, on @The Conditions Under Which the New Republic was Founded
 There was large attendance of mem- bers of the academy.
 Referring during his address to the French Canal company. the speaker de- clared that this company systematically discouraged the isthmian canal commits sion to recommend the Panama route by refusing to give to that commission any indication 10 it's willingness to sell the concession. or to fix a definite price.
 Sentiment Was for Panama.
 'The result was" he continued to oblige the commission to report at the end of November, 1901, in favor of Nicaragua, while it was perfectly apparent that the sentiment of the commission was fixed in favor of Panama, and that the recommen- dation was only due to the impossbility of obtaining a satisfactory offer from the canal compa1
 T was somewhat astonished, however" continued the speaker, when 1 saw the results of the election to the congress that was called together for the ratifca- tion of the canal treaty. The elections to the Colombian congress are always so much controlled by the government, the manipulation of the votes of the legisa- ture of every state is done with such an open and complete disregard of the right of the people to express their own opin- ion that 1t amounts generally to little more than a comedy, and where the sol ciers play the part of electors, with their habitual discipline.
 Government Is Master.
 ''The government is in reality master and can elect the congress as il 2 a.aes.
 All tnasSeah bring ill., will, shame and contempt upon a nation was as it were, carefully prepared by the congress of Bogota between the middle of June and the end Of October. They had insulted their protectors, the United States in the most offensive way by rejecting with out even the slightest hint toward show ing what they wanted a treaty which was the most liberal that could be con- ceived, and in which the United States had taken a position scarcely above that of a private commercial company.
 They insulted not only the United States by rejecting the treaty, but by preparing to sell them the property stolen from the French investors; they sacrl- feed to their blind and passionate greed the very honor of their country, by put ting in their parliamentary documents intentions which. if they were committed by individuals. would be misdemeanors or felonies under the law"
