GEN. REYES PROPOSITION.

The proposition which Gen, Reyes,
the special representative of Colombia,
makes to our government in respect
to concessions for the isthmian canal
is a most astounding one. 1t is that
Colombia will grant all the concessions
which the United States need for the
construction Of the Panama canal with
out any compensation whatever.
Evidently Colombia has been doing
a great deal of thinking since she re-
jected the Hay-Herran treaty by which
she was to receive $10,OO0,000 for canal
concessions and an annual canal rental
of $250,000 a year. Gen. Reyes says
that the treaty was rejected because
of certain political complications grow
ing out of the revolution which was
recently settled, but that these COM
plications have now disappeared.
This is a very shrewd move on the
part of Colombia, but it is probable
that it is made too late. There is no
honorable way in which the United
States can take a backward step in
the relations into which they have
entered with the republic OF Panama.
1t is true If Panama were to consent
to the restoration of her status as it
was before she inaugurated the move
ment for independence the way would
be open for an understanding with
Colombia, but it is a safe proposition
that Panama viii consent to nothing
of the kind, provided she is assured
the United States will stand by her
in the event Colombia undertakes to
restore her authority over her. Pan
anna Is much better off as an independ-
ent state than she was or would be
as part of the republic of Colombia
There is no doubt that if the United
States were to stand aloof and let Pan
anna fight her own battles it wouldn't
take Colombia long to re-establish her
authority within Panama's limits, but
the evidence is conclusive that the
United States intend to see to 1t that
Panama isn't bothered by Colombia.
1t locks therefore as if a disappoint-
ment were in store for Gen. Reyes and
Colombia.
There isn't any doubt of course that
Gen. Reyes is acting in good faith.
but he isn't in position to say that
the Colombian Congress would approve
the proposition he is Offering for the
acceptance of the United States. He
is simply speaking for the President
of Colombia, and that official isn't
clothed with authority to give away
franchises for which the United States
have offered $1O.OOO,OOO and for which
the Colombian Congress wanted $780,
900, 900.
The mistake which Colombia made
in rejecting the Hay-Herran treaty is
one that she will not in all probability
be able to correct. If it was due to
political complications, as Gen. Reyes
says, it was her misfortune. Perhaps
Gen. Reyes would have trouble, how
ever, in satisfying our government that
the rejection of the Hay-Herran treaty
was the result of political compllca-
tons and not a deliberate attempt to
hold up" the United States for an

GRAVY INDICATED.

Senator Pettus of Alabama declares
that he did not say gravy" but "con-
diments." The original story was that
a friend had asked the venerable sena-
tor to what he attributed his age and
vigor, and he had replied that he at
tributed his longevity to the fact that
he always ate good plain food and
avoided gravy. Following the publica-
tion of the story, making Senator Pet
tus a gravy prohibitionist, there were
murmurs of dissent and disapproval.
The people of Alabama could not un-
derstand how a man, raised in an at
lnosphere of ham gravy, chicken gravy
and sausage gravy, could go back on
his raisin's" and so roundly condemn
an article of staple diet throughout the
South.
The Seniors explanation makes it
all right. The person who reported the
incident probably got gravy" CON
diments" and sauces" mixed. Nor
was that so very peculiar either. since
no less a person that the famous Tai
leyrand once fell into similar error,
when he described the United States as
country having 100 religions and one
sauce. He meant gravy, or the juice
of meats extracted in the process of
cooking. He meant to say something
smart about our extreme piety in con-
trast with our very simple menus.
Gravy is not a sauce, though 1t may
be made the base of many fine sauces.
1t is what the colored mauma-cook
calls de essence" of the meat being
prepared for the table. combined with
the melted fat that exudes from the
joint or steak or chops. With various
havorings added gravy may be man.
| unfactured into a sauce, but considered
in themselves gravy and sauce are as
distinctively different from each other
as lemonade and artillery punch.
Gravy, as Senator Pettus would no
doubt willingly testify from experience,
and as everybody familiar with South
ern cookery knows, is a healthful, ap-
petizing side-dish used as a dressing
for meats, bread and cereals. In some
parts of Alabama, we believe, it is
called sop" under which name it has

his poetical tribute to the delights of
sop and later" Still. by whatever
local name it may be known, 1t is a
worthy companion to the staff of life, ="
which it not infrequently accompanies.
With condiments" it is different. They
are highly spiced. Many of them are
astringent, checking the flow of the
salivary juices. Gravy, on the other
hand, is an aid to digestion, combining
as it does just enough Of saline mat
ter, meat juices and water to stimu-
late the salivary flow. Generally speak,
ing all gravies are made in the same
way, but they vary greatly in taste.
There are persons who will assert that
nothing of finer flavor goes on the table
than 'possum gravy with the seasoning
of a few herbs when eaten with baked
| potatoes. There are others who are
partial to turkey gravy, when the bird
has been stuffed with nuts or oysters.
And thus it goes. Instead of having
too much gravy, we do not have enough
of it. We have too much "condi-

denly lost it's taste for the drama. AS
already stated the country seems 10 be
prosperous. The South is certainly in
as good financial condition as it has
been at any previous time within many
years. Is then the other solution the
correct one, namely, that the public
is losing it's taste for the drama?
That this solution isn't correct seems
to be proven by the fact that the pop
ular price theaters in New York and
elsewhere are doing a good business.
But If the country were prosperous
there wouldn't be any hesitation in
paying to see first-class attractions.
Can it be possible that the shrinkage
that has taken place in securities IS
causing people to economize?

TROOPS IN PURSUIT.
Escaped Convicts of Folsom Prison

Escaped Convicts of Folsom Prison
Closely Pressed.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-At lat
est accounts the troops and the posses
organized by the sheriffs of the differ
ent counties are keeping in close touch
with the convicts who broke out Of
state prison at Folsom, taking along
guards and other Jail officials in self
protection. The convicts are moving
toward Coloma, where the citizens
have armed themselves and are pre-
pairing to resist an attack. They have
been warned of the advance of the con-
victs and will unite with the authori-
ties.
1t is reported by the driver Of a stage
which passed between Pilot Hill and
Coloma that he saw the convicts walk
ing close together. They were accom-
panied by men who were evidently res
idents of the vicinity, whom they had
apparently forced to so with them as
guides. A posse from Placerville, un-
der Sheriff Bostwick, was reported not
sar behind them, following the trail.
The hgnJ petween the convicts and
the officers near Plot Hill, In Ell Do
RADIO county, resulted in thf -uSkth Of
Fred Howard, convict, who
killed outright, and the wounding OF
another convict, negro named Seavis.
The gang after the fight stopped in
their wild flight to consider the advis-
ability of disposing of their prisoners.
The debate lasted long time, as some
were in favor of killing their hostages,
but they finally decided to let their cap
t1ves go.
The seven captive guards were re-
leased In the brush and came into Deals
early in the morning John Kiendorff,
one of the guards, tumbled out of the
wagon during the firing at Pilot Hill
and escaped unhurt.
They had experienced hard time.
Not only were they made to wear the
stripes of the eonvicts, but they were
forced to carry the camping outfit and
the ammunition.

COUNCIL MEETING.
SeveaI important Matters Laid Over Until

At the meeting of the borough
council of South Amboy last evening,
it was expected that the matter of
granting franchises for a telephone

on account of certain other matters,
they were laid over.
A petition to have Henry street

A communication from the Central
New Jersey Telephone Company ask
ing for another hearing in regard to
the granting of the franchise was re-
ceived.
A petition for an ordinance grant
ing a franchise to the Hudson &

taken up at the next meeting.
An ordinance to grade and curb
Church street, received it's first read
ing and was adopted.

recommendation of the Street Com
mittee.

ported, as there was no further bust
ness to be transacted the council
