NOT A SUDDEN RESULT.

For many months the United
States waited for the Colombian
Congress to act on an isthmian
canal treaty that had been laborious-
ly framed in the diplomatic depart
ments Of the two countries. The
United States, for its part, adyanc
ed the treaty fully and positively,
but when it reached the Colombian
Congress the whole subject be-
came involved in doubt and mys-
terry. No one has ever been able
to tell exactly what Colombia
wanted. Though large payments,
partly in the form of perpetual
annuity, were rendered by this
country, Colombia haggled in an
indefinite fashion about territorial
points. Never has it been specific
as to terms. After the time for
making the treaty lapsed, Colon
bia talked of larger payments and
more binding territorial restric-
tiolls, but without precisely stating
its wishes in either respect. One
OF its latest moves was to question
the binding force of the Monroe
doctrine in relation to European
bids for building the canal. 1t
was absolutely clear that Colon
bia would not come to the point.
1t proposed to eat its cake and
have it, and to temporize endless
ly in blackmailing fashion.

From the magnitude Of the
strike situation it is evident that
some means must be devised by
which the general public can be
protected for they are the people
that pay the freight after all. The
time is fast coming when a com
pulsery arbitration law will be put
in force. If the miners are not
being treated right they should be
and if the mine owners are not
being treated fairly by the labor
ers' arbitration will.biing it to light
the people will not submit to
being held up all the time for coal
when someone else is responsible.
The Delta independent., 1903-11-20


The mine owners of the state
are signifying willingness to
treat with the miners and adjust
matters by meeting them half way
in their demands. The Miners
Union should not hesitate to take
advantage of this chance to settle
the strike as it will bring about a
custom, in the course of time, for
these matters to be regulated by
both miners and mine operators
which will be great victory for
both sides.

RUMORS OF FIGHTING.
Trouble Reported Between Farmers

cused of Murder in Kansas.

Lincoln, Neb. June ia special to
the Star from Atwood, Kan, says that
at daylight Wednesday morning IN at
tempt was made by mob of 200 armed
men to secure possession of Chauncey
Dewey, Clyde Wilson and j. C. Mcbride
and lynch them. The fight is said to be
still in progress. Details are lacking.
Bird City, Kan, June 11.-Persist-
ent rumors of a conflict between the
company of Kansas militia guarding
the prisoners accused of the murder of
Daniel Berry and sons, and 200 farmers,
we're heard here Wednesday. The first
word was brought in early in the day
by farmer, who said the fight took
place shortly after daylightand before
the militia camp was thoroughly or
ganized for the days march.
Other arrivals from the range and
farm districts told similar stories. The
militia is, so it is said here, making no
effort to reach St. Francis Thursday,
the time set for the preliminary trial
