his associate commissioners in effecting an

contention Of the other powers which par
ties to the treaty of Picking. If sustained. would
require China to pay almost double her debt

unfair and inequitable to require that unfortu-
rate country to make good the heavy losses
caused by the depreciation of silver AS the
United States has steadfastly insisted on being
treated on an equality with other powers. how
ever it follows that those powers must either
accept their indemnity the basis arranged
by Mr.. Conger insist payment at the
present rate of exchange, in which latter case
the United States would also be entitled TO her
proportionate increase.

COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL TREATY
Washington Officials Confident of Securing
the Panama Route.

Washington, May 12.-Dr. Thomas Herran.
Colombian Charge d'Affaires here. said to-day
that he had not been advised by his govern
ment that President Marroquin had resigned, as
reported in dispatches from Panama If 1t
shortly appears that the Colombian Government
is unwilling to consummate the treaty. or Is
disposed to defer final action beyond the "rea-
sonable time' mentioned in the Spooner act
the State Department will at once endeavor to
reopen negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica with view to securing control of the
alternative route for canal through those
countries. In fact. Secretary Hay has within
the week talked with Senior Corea, the Mica
raguan Minister, and Senior Calvo, the minister
from Costa Rica. It is said by parties to the
negotiations that if they resumed it will be
on the distinct understanding that the United
States Government definitely abandons the
Panama route. So much i'll feeling excited
in Nicaragua and Costa RIGA by the dropping
of the Nicaragua route after the protocols look
ing to its acquisition had been drawn that the
resident ministers of the two countries here are
unwilling to take up the subject again without
an express agreement that they are not to be
used to club the Colombian Government into
terms. The officials here. however. feel conf
dent that it will not be necessary to resort again
to the Nicaragua route, for they believe that
the present difficulties In the Panama negotia-
tons are solely attributable to efforts on the
part of the Colombians to make the most Of
the opportunity to induce the Panama Canal
Company to divide with 1t some part of the
S4OoO0O0O to be received by the company from
the United States.
1t is held here that the call issued by Presi-

any change in the administration. just as 1t

A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
No Power in Colombia Has Right to Ratify
Treaty, It Is Said.

In the numerous dispatches published this
week in regard to the chances which the Hay
Herran canal treaty has of being sanctioned by
the Bogota Congress or by the Colombian Presi
dent, there is essential point forgotten "F,l
Colombiano." of Bogota, in a recent issue saws
that neither the Congress nor the President. he
he Marroquin or Reyes. has the power to ratifv
the treaty until the constitution of the country
has been revised granting to the legislature and
the executive powers authority to dispose of
part of the national territory. 1t appears that
the question of the canal treaty has been kent
in the background by the Colombian authorities
for the editorial Of lei Colombiano" alluded IN
here. is in part follows:
When the government allowed the press of
the country to discuss fully and freely the
question of the canal of Panama it did so evil
IDENTIFY with the double purpose of throwing light
on the matter and of seeking the means for itself
to know exactly what is the predominating
opinion.
great interest. but have not seen ANYTHING
written with exactness in reference to the con-
stitutional aspect of the issue. an aspect which
should be studied in preference to others
Article of the constitution fixes the limits of
the national territory. and nobody has the power
10 change them except by an amendment to the
constitution, in accordance with Article 209 The
constitution cannot be changed by means of
public treaties since these subordinate to its
mandate. The executive power has no right
10 cndnSe the IrollieF because, Tar from being
authorized to do so, paragraph IL of Article 100
of the constitution commands it ito provide for
the exterior security of the republic defending
the independence and the honor of the nation
and the inviolability of territory" Congress has
not the right, for paragraph of Article 76 of
the constitution limits the Congresses powers
only to modify the territorial division in ac-
cordance with Articles 3 and O.
Therefore. if neither the executive power nor
the Congress, nor both Of them in Joint session
can ALLEVIATE give away any part of the ter
ritory, either because they have power or be-
cause the country's soil is inaiienabe, t must
be admitted that, Congress lacking the authority
TO approve contracts or treaties containing stip-
uations not in accord with the fundamental
charter, It is necessary before accepting any of
those stpuations included in the Herran- Hay
treaty to override the law to change the
constitution, Costa Rica and Nicaragua have

of their territory.

deserve TO be taken into account when the Ques-
