WAR WITH FRANCE AvERTED.
Mr.. LOOMS Says Panama Recogni-
ton Prevented Clash.

tIOu Prevented Clash.
War between France and Colombia
was averted by the action of the United
States in recognizing the Panama re-
public, according to Frank B. Loomis,
Assistant Secretary of State, who adj
dressed the Quill Club banquet in New
York the other night
Mr. Loomis said; The rejection of the
treaty at Bogota was an unfriendly act
from the viewpoint of international law.
The belief seems to have been widely
current in Bogota that the United States
could not or would not build a canal by
any other than the Panama route. 1t
occurred to certain men in Bogota that
the United States could be made to pay
$20,0O0000 or $25,O00,0O0 instead of
$10,000,000, or, better still, as has been
disclosed by recent published official cor
respondence, if the treaty were rejected
or no action taken upon it and the whole
matter postponed for another year. the
concession of the present French canal
company having expired by that time, the
renewal of that concession would be de-
clare1 invalid and all the rights privi-
leges and work of the French canal com
pany be practically conhscated and dis
posed of to the United States for $40,-
100000, in addition to the $10000,000 as
proposed, and the annuity of $250,000
This was a radiant and aluring prospect
and the temptation proved too strong
THE moment that the cables flashed
from Bogota to Paris the astounding
news there would in all probability have
been an armed conflict between France
and Colombia The French warships
might easily have been followed by those
of England and Holland; and Panama,
like the Balkan States, might well have
been expected to furnish the spark to set
half the world in flames"

Bonaparte and Conrad. severely scores
Charles Emory Smith. former Postmas-
ter General; Perry S. Heath, who was
| his first assistant, and Postmaster Mer-
rift of Washington. The names of these
men are linked with George w. Beavers,
former head of the division of salaries
and allowances, in the censure melted
out to present and past officials. The re-
port is made on the charge brought by
w. S. Tulloch, former cashier in the
I Washington postoffice.
Regarding illegal appointments the re-
! port says: Discussion Of the 'Tulloeh
charges has revealed the existence of
deplorable and gravely discreditable
abuses during the years 1898, 1899 and
1900 in the Washington postotlice and
the Office of the First Assistant Postmas-
ter General.
These abuses involved conduct on the
part of various public officials which was
certainly often illegal and many have
been sometimes criminal but such Of
| lenses, if committed, were in all cases
committed more than three years before
We were ordered to investigate the
charges and, so far as we are clearly
informed, more than three years before
Mr.. Tulloch's interview of May l last.
The persons primarily responsible for
the above mentioned abuses and the re
sulting scandals appear to have been
Perry S. Heath, then First Assistant
Postmaster General, and George W.
Beavers, then chief of the salaries and
allowance division, neither of whom is
now in the service of the United States.
Charles Emory Smith, late Postmas-
ter General; James 2. Willett, late post
master of Washington, now deceased;
John A. Merritt, his successor in the said
office and its present incumbent; Robert
j. Tracewell, comptroller and Henry A.
Castle, auditor for the Postofiice Depart
ment, all appear to have shared, in some
measure their responsibilities; the late
Postmaster General for his seeming fail
ure, notwithstanding repeated warnings,
to appreciate the gravity of their mis-
conduct and the consequent necessity for
its prompt and adequate punishment; the
two postmasters for liberation Of these
abuses and obedience to plainly improper
orders without exposure or apparently,
protest: and the auditor and comptroller
for acting upon lax and arbitrary prin-
ciples in the administration of their re-
spective offices whereby the payment of
illegal and seemingly fraudulent claims
by the treasury was rendered possible"
Recommendations are made for a thor
ough investigation of the Washington
postoffice.
