and by way of annual rental for the strip of territory alonf each side of the canal right of way.
 It could not be learned tonight what was the price finally agreed on.
 Some time ago there was hitch over the question of the extent to which con- trol by the United States over this strip of land should go, Colomhaa objecttng on the ground that the provision requested in the treaty by the United States would mean a relinquisnment of sovereignty by Colombia over part of her territory, but this matter was amicably adjusted. as was a difference as to the life time of the lease of the strip of land in question, the final result being a practical cession tn perpetuity of the strip ot the United States for canal purposes and incidental police control and protection of the canal right of way.
 The canal treaty was signed at Secre- tary Hays house this afternoon Mir. Hay acting for the United States and Dr. Herran. the Charge dAffaires of Colombia who ad been specially given full powers to negotiate the treaty, sign ing in behalf of Colombia The treaty will have to so to the Senate for ratifi- cation and 1t is believed it will be trans mitted to that body tomorrow.
 It'is said that details of the agreement will not be made public in advance of the transmission of the treaty to the Senate. It is thought that the Secretary from tTne to ime conferred with leading mem bers of the Senate, so it Is believed it will meet the approval of the Senate at the present session.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The treaty be- tween the United States and Colombia for the construction of the Panama Ca nal by the United States was signed to. day.
 NO details of the signature of the treaty were obtainable tonight but at the Presi- dental reception at the White House the news that the treaty between the two countries at last was an accomplished fact leaked out and later was confirmed authoritatively sn inquiry in official cir cles.
 It has been intended net to make the signature of the treaty public until ts- morrow. but the news apparently was too good for some of the friends of the ca- nal to keep after the long delay and suspense and it transpired at the Presl- dents official reception.
 Fears had been entertained until this week that Colombia would not be will Ing to accede to the wishes of the United States in the piatter and that recourse to the Nicaragua Canal project might be forced on the United States.

Denver. Col, Jan. 22.-Before the Dem- ocratic members of the Senate and House assembled in joint session at noon today they held meeting at which they list ened to speeches by Senator Teller and other leaders.

He said he had not withdrawn and did not intend to withdraw uniess things came to such pass that the party could not agree upon him. He was willing that hIs friends should support the party choice.
 Senator Teller said the Senate acted properly in calling for the joint session yesterday. Then the last election was over. the Democrats had a majority of ten on the first ballot and by every pre- cedent in American politics the Demo- crats were entitled to the Senatorship.
 The Senator criticized the Republicans for their action in the House. He also denounced the Republican Senators and held that the question to the Democrats was whether the majesty of the law should be maintained,
 The meeting then adjourned and at noon the joint session was called to or der.
 Fifty Democratic members of the Leg islature, one short of a quorum, was present.
 Representative William H. Kelly (Dem.) was absent and the Senate Sergeant at Arms was instructed to bring in absen- tees. No attempt was made. however. to force the attendance of Republican members.
 The joint session settled down for long siege for the purpose of taking a ballot for Senator providing Kelly should be found. It was rumored that he had been kidnapped by agents of Republicans and Democrats who wished to have Senator Teller defeated.

ROOSEVELT AND NEGRO
Postmaster Edwards Elucidates the President's Program as to the
 Black Man.

Macon, Ga. Jan. 22.-Harry stiIIwelI Ed- wards. postmaster of Macon, returned today from Washington. where, with Colonel W. H. Johnson, United States Marshal for the North ern District of Georgia. he had gone to con- suit with the President with regard to the Government service in Georgia.
 Mir. Edwards, in an interview with The Macon Telegraph, says the President has de- cided to issue e circular to ali postmasters informing them that there will be debarred from appointment to office any person who may secure an endorsement for valuable eon- alteration and dismissing from office any oG- hcial who may for a valuable cons iteration give to an applicant for office his endo sement.
 Mir. Edwards said he has the Presidents per- mission to announce his policy in the follow ing language:
 ''The spisit of the Constitution forbids that any man shall be refused office on account of race rcolor; 1t also forbids that any man shall ask office on account of race or color. The whole matter resolves itself within the party book into a question of character abii- ity and fitness. and of previous service, or the endorsement of the community at inter est shal constitute the best test. Where . suitable member of the party cannot be found, the best man obtainable will be chosen
 Mir. Edwards says that he takes this positive statement of the President to refer ehiedy to communities wheer local officials are to be appointed and not to officers whose functions involve States and districts.

Sensational Stories Regarding
 Developments in Venezuela.

Developments in Venezuela.
 Washington Jan. 2.-(Special. )-Sensa- donal dispatches regarding the situation as to Venezuela are being sent out from Washington tonight, the burden of the stories being that the bombardment yes- terday of Venezuelan port by German wal ships has strained, or will strain, the rela tons between America and Germany
 While this overt act on the part of the Germans causes great annoyance to our Government, which understood that such hostile acts should not be committed pending the peace proceedings to which the American Minister to Venezuela, who is now in Washington, is a party, it is too much to say that the bombardrnent in question imperils the peace of the world.
 Therefore, 1t Is wisdom based upon truth that our people disregard the wild stories sensational correspondents are un- derstood to be sending out tonight. While there is deep regret in the highest cir- cles of our Government that the Vene- zuelan port was bombarded just at this critical moment of entering ulOn negotia- dons for lasting peace, The Advertiser S correspondent has the best of authority that no grave trouble is likely to arise.
 But it Is of greatest interest to state that Senator Morgan remarked to an other Democratic Senator this afternoon that he viewed the new turn of affairs with degree of apprehension which he did not care to conceal.

GOSSIP IN LoBBrEs OF THE
 SENATE.
Final Action Upon the Cuban Treaty Now Considered Impossible at This Session-Demoerats
 Score in the House.

Washington, Jan. 22.--(Special.) )-H was common gossip in the lobbies of the Sem ate this afternoon that the President had practically determined upon an extra session of the Senate to begin March l5, for the purpose of considering the Cuban treaty. final action upon which is now considered impossible this session. This &ossip does not involve an extra session of both houses. yet nothing seems more probable.
 The disorganized condition of the Re- publican majority in the House was again ntrikIngIy manifested this afternoon when the Democrats succeeded in en- forcing their Philippine currency plan upon that body. The Democrats made a stout stand for the introduction of our national currency system in the Philip pines. and they won.
 So, if the Senate agrees. there will be hereafter in our far Eastern possessions cur decimal system of cents and dollar 8.
 At the brilliant Presidential reception to the Judiciary Society and the official world in the White House tonight, per- hapH the most notable reception ever held EEElE, the CtO6G&L ODSETNtE COuAQ nOL 0G~ tect any sign that the President was in the least worried over the situation in Congress. On the contrary, he seemed more than ever free from care. So far ms appearance went, there was not hap pier man between the seas. He was the embodiment of peace and gladness. And as is the wont of this extraordinary man. he inspired his hundreds of guests with Rladness.
 The Advertiser has already given the facts regarding the bitter fight of Sena- tor Bailey of Texas in behalf of his bill 4o make Port Arthur Tex. port of en- sry, presumably for the benefit of the Beaumont oil field, of which it is the natural port. The Bailey bill Is opposed by the Standard oil Senators. of whom 16r. Aldrich of Rhode Island Is the leader, with Senator Hanna as a stout stand batter. and this afternoon the Bailey bill was reported adversely. but there was no favorable report for Sabine Pass, the sup posed scheme of the Standard oil Com pany.
 Meantime, Senator Bailey remains wrathy, and will not allow any bill brought up in the Senate by unanimous consent. thus following the rather bad tempered example of Congressman Moon of Tennessee, who Is crons because the House won't vote to name Indian Ter Kitory Jefferson.
