1ockiey, Own JJp,

Boss Hockey, don't like the idea of
admitting that Hon. John Mcdonald
would have been nominated for
Judge in the last Democratic county
convention, had not Mr.. Floyd their
slaughtered candidate been present.
AS it was, Judge Mcdonald did receive
a portion of the votes. 1t is all over
now. Judge Mcdonald is happy and
while he could have secured the en-
dorsement, if he SO desired, he and his
friends are contented. But, was it not
little tough on the old line democrats
to even deny them the office of Jury
Commissioners, and take our friend
Bailey, born and raised Republican.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Harry Thomas AccideEtIy Killed This
P. M. at His Home.

We stop the press, at 4 p. M, to
inform our readers of the death of
Harry Thomas, son of Ex-County
Treasurer Chas. M. Thomas.
The young man entered his bed
room at his parents home to get his
shot gun, intending to go on hunt
ing trip, when Mrs. Thomas heard
the report. Upon going to the
room it was found he was dead, the
contents of the gun having entered
his left side, just above the heart.
DIR. Smith was promptly called but
of course could do nothing. From
the manner the body laid it was
very evident he was pulling the
gun from behind a chest when the
trigger caught, exploding the load.
There is no truth in the report that
it was suicide.
Mr.. Thomas, who is away from
home was Immediately wired The
family are prostrated with grief.

WASHINGTON LETTER.



and it is the general opinion that
the revolution will be successful
and that the new Republican del
Ismo (Republic of the Isthmus)
will succeed is establishing it's In
dependence and gaining it's recog-
milton by this country. The seces-
sion of Panama from Colombia
was almost a forgone conclusion
after the Bogota government re-
jected the canal treaty. Panama
is geographically separate from
Colombia and the interests of the
two states are antagonistic, so that
when Colombia attempted to block
the canal, separation was newt
able. Panama has declared her
independence, adopted q red, white
and blue flag, placed triumvirate
in charge of the government, ex-
PEELED all the Colombian troops,
who would not join in the revolu-
tion, and has now received par
tial recognition by the United
States. American warships have
arrived at each side of theIsthmus,
marines have been landed and this
country has made clear its purpose
to maintain an open traffic on the
Isthmus, as it is obliged to do by
the treaty of 1916. This treaty
was signed with New Granada, a
nation of which Colombia is the re-
naming fraction. In addition to
the obligation of our government
to maintain open traffic across the
Isthmus at all times, we agreed al
so to guarantee New Granada
(now Colombia) in its sovereignty
and property on the Isthmus. We
have recognized the de facto gov
ernment on the Isthmus and auth
orized our consular officers to do
business with it. Senator Cullum.
chairman of the Senate Committee
of Foreign Relations, is deeply in
terested in the revolution and says
he hopes government will be es-
tablished so that the United States
can negotiate a canal treaty and
proceed with the construction.
His opinion is generally adhered
to at the Capitol. In recognizing
the sovereignty of the new republic
we should have to consider it as
the part of New Granada to which
the treaty of 1916 applied, just as
we now consider Colombia. Pan
anna is very small state, about
25O,O0 inhabitants, and if indie
pendent, it would come uuder the
virtual protectorate, if not into
actual possession of the United
States. This is the opinion held
by the European powers and in
their desire to see the canal COM
pleted they seem to make no OBJ
lection to the Isthmus coming
under the control of the United
States.
Senator German has been furn-
ished with some more "Brooker
Washington dinners" by the fact
that Ave negro bluejackets of the
United Slater Navy, together with
about two-hundred of their white
companions, were served refresh
ments in the State-dining room of
the White House, where the sailors
in command only of petty officers,
had been received by the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt They were
enlisted men of the Z. S. May
flower and Sylph which are lying
in the Washington Navy Yard and
which were used by the President
and his family very often last sum-
mer. The commissioned officers
had nothing to do with the recep-
tion which was given the enlisted
men of the navy by the Command
er-in-chief of the Army and Navy.

N. {. ALLIES MAY SOON
RETIRE FROM TREASURY
To Become Vice President of Riggs
National Bank.

That Milton f. Allies. Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Treasury. viii soon be-
come vice president of the Riggs Ma
tiOnal Bank OF this city, is accepted as
gospel in financial circles today. An
was made in The Times one month ago.
but a that time the story was at rs
denied by all concerned.
SO far as any official statement is 10
be had on the subject the news is no
more authoritative than II was a month
ago. Credence was given to the story
today, however, by the arrival of Frank
a. Vanderbilt. formerly Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. but now vice
president Of he National City Bank, Of
New York. which purchased a block OF
Riggs stock equivalent 10 one fourth in
terest OF the whole. This purchase was
made at the time the Washington bank
increased its capital from $500, 600 10
81 900 600.
Mr. Vanderlip is a warm friend OF Mr.
Allies and half an hour after the form
er had arrived they departed together
from the Treasury building and were not
seen the entire afternoon II was said

This explanation. however. Is not the
one generally accepted.
The National City Bank is not repre-
scented in the management OF the Riggs
Bank 1t is known that the New York
institution expects, however. to soon
have a representative. II is generally be-
lieved in financial circles that Mr. Allies
will be installed in the place in that
capacity.

QUESADA CONSULTS
POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS
New Postal Agreement TO Be Made
With Cuba.

Senior Quesada. the Cuban minister.
yesterday called at the Postofice De-
partment 10 consult with the officials
in regard TO postal agreement be-
tween the United States and Cuba
At present there is regular agree
ment such as exists between this
country and other foreign lands A
general order, signed by postal authori-
ties Of both countries, is all that regu-
lates the mails now. While the United
States maintained the protectorate over
the iFland the mails were treated as
domestic ones. Now that Cuba is a
foreign country a different agreement
is necessary.
Senior Quesada had long talk with
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger, in which many sugges-
tions and notifications were made The
principal changes will occur in the sys-
tenn Of payments. General ShalIen-
berger says. however. that when the
treaty is completed little change in the
service will be noticed. II will be
placed on the same footing as that with
Canada and Mexico. There will be no
change in the rate OF postage.
