BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
Colon and the Isthmus of Panama In
Fever of Excitement.

Fever of Excitement.
Colon, Colombia, Aug. 18.-All Co
Ion and the Isthmus of Panama is in a
fever of excitement and widespread
disappointment at the rejection of the
canal treaty by the Colombian SEN
ate. High authorities on the isthmus
express the opinion that President
Roosevelt possibly may insist on the
right Of the United States to purchase
the canal enterprise from the French
company, Colombia already having
sanctioned the sale, and then take inn
mediate steps to show Colombia that
the United States Is determined to go
on with the matter; at the same time
informing the Colombian government
that the obstacles in the way of the
transfer, viz: The question Of money
and the sovereignty and jurisdiction
over the territory involved, etc., are
questions for subsequent settlement
and possible arbitration at The Hague
The rejection is heavy blow to
property owners at Colon who have
been investing heavily on the pros
poets of the treaty's being ratified.
Panama. Aug. 18.-The unanimous
rejection Of the Panama canal treaty
by the senate has caused a profound
impression here in all circles. The
question on all lips Is what will be-
come of Panama. The only consola-
tion the isthmians have is that the
rest of the republic, with the exchange
at very high figure and with an up
ward tendency, will suffer great deal
more.
General Lucio Valazoo, an old vet
eran and distinguished army officer,
has been appointed military command
er of the department Of Panama. 1t
is thought that the fears, caused by
the rumors of a secession movement
on the isthmus, may have Influenced
the appointment.

/ ELECTS ..iHE TREATY
COLOMBIAN SENATE TAKES De.
C,SiVE ACTION ON CANAL
CONVENTION.
Communication Of the American Min.
lister Objecting to the Introduction
of Amendments One Reason for Re.
fusal to Ratify-CoIon and the
lsthmus cf Panama Bitterly Disap-
appointed Over the Action.

Bogota, Colombia, Aug. IL, via Buena
Ventura, Aug. 1.-THE Panama canal
treaty has been rejected unanimously
by the Colombian senate.
1t is reported that President Marro-
quin has been authorized by congress
to make q rev treaty which will not
require further ratification. but that
the basis given for the treaty will
probably prove unacceptable to the
United States.
1t is considered, however, in official
circles, according to reliable informa-
tion, that the authorization given by
congress to make a new treaty will
furnish a basis for reopening nego-
tiations with the United States.
1t appears that one of the objec-
tions to the ratification of the treaty
which carried weight in the senate
was that the Panama Canal company
did not come to previous arrange
ment with the Colombian government
for the transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate,
moreover. seems to have been in
fluenced by the communication made
by the American minister in which
the introduction of any amendments
to the treaty was objected to.

Expert Opinion.

 The following letter from Robert IT. Hill, the eminent geologist, connected with the United States Geological Sur yey, will be of interest to many of pnr readers who have become interested in the properties mentioned through the company's agent, Geo. w. Chase, df North Adams. ROBERT T. HILL, GEoLoaIST, United States Geological Survey. New York, July F. 1908 MIR. GEORGE A. BEAToN,

 DEAR SIR:
 have just completed a visit to the various mines in which The Develop ment Company of America is interested in Arizona.
 These properties have been reported upon by experts of such nnimpeachable integrity, including such wen- known men as Church, Blake and Staunton, that it would be superfiuous for me to make professional report upon them.
 I found at Poland, Congress, Tomb stone and the Imperial Copper Mines that the properties, equipment and operation were everything that has been represented in your literature, and in all my experience I have never seen more business-like management nor bettes group of properties. was particularly impressed with tl Tombstone and Imperial camps. CoiJ< corning Tombstone, can truly say that, in my judgment. conditions there are most excellent from every possible point of view, and promise large and substantial returns. The ores hitherto worked, and which yielded vast returns above water level, are but the superficial oxides of greater bodies which are bound to be encountered in the excellent matrix of ground to be opened up by the lower workings. I heartily endorse every word of the reports of Messrs. Blake, Staunton and Church. The operations of mining and pumping have been pro- eeeded with in most perfect and busi- ness-hke manner, and are absolutely above criticism. I see no possible req son why the Tombstone camp will not bear out everything that has been said and expected of it. AS to the Imperial Copper Mines, the favorable geological conditions of this property have not been stated as strong | ly as they might have been. There is every condition of structure and miner alization to justify the belief that the ore bodies at present exposed are but the superficial manifestation of very large and persistent zone of copper to great depth. The amount of ore in sight Is sufficiently large to justify all that has been and is being done, and I have not previously seen copper mine in Arizo- na or Sonora which has made such an excellent showing at the same stage of development.
 I was greatly impressed at all the mines by the evidences of close, thorough, scientific and business-hke administra- ton. MT. Staunton, the engineer in charge of these properties. is one of the most competent and able mining engi- neers I have ever met, combining with technical knowledge rare businesSabihty
 Very truly yours,
 ROBERT T. HILL.

 Two masked men entered the home of Mrs. Jas. Morse in Goshen about a. m. Sunday morning. They bound Mrs. Morse to the bed and then threatened her with revolver. She would not disclose where her valuables were and the robbers burned the soles of her feet, but they could get no information from her. They found $50 and gold watch and ring, and then went to the room of Mrs. Patrick Turnker where they bound her and scared her into telling where $23 was concealed. The robbers left the women bound and made their escape. After 'an hours struggle the women freed themselves, but are still suffering from their experience.
