NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Still Taking About Canal.

A dispatch received by the State De-
partment from United States Minister
Arthur NJ Bearpre, at Bogota, Colon
b;a, although somewhat ambiguous, has
caused the officials of the Government
to believe that Colombia is DESTROYS OF
resuming negotiations looking to the
construction of the canal across the
Isthmus of Panama.
Minister Beaupre says Colombia is
still interested in canal matters. and he
reports that the committee Of the Sell
ate has finally submitted a report upon
the concession of the new Panama Ca
nal Company from 1904 to 1910. 1t IS
impossible to learn from the dispatch
whether or not the committees tavors
confirming this concession or the re"
turn to the canal company OF 81, 900 oeo
which was paid for the concession. In
any event. it is understood. the report
will be taken up by the Colombian SEN
ate tomorrow for discussion.

DR.. Thomas Herran. expects a messcn-
ger from his Government i'll the person
of Senior Is,nael Enrique Arciniegas,
who has reported his arrival in New
York, and who, it is believed, carries
with him certain instructions for Dr.:
Herran. looking to the re-opening OF
canal negotiations. DR.. Herran is in
clined to believe the Instructions will
not be radically different in character
from what Colombia knows to be the
position of the United States.
Whatever the new proposition may
be, it will receive the consideration OF
the Administration, Colombia having
intimated that she is DESTROYS Of reop-
ening negotiations. President Roose-
welt will not, for the present, open ne
gotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA, it was officially stated today that
so long as Colombia shows DISPOSE
ton to treat with the United States for
the canal franchise, the President will
not take advantage of the provision
i'll the Spooner act authorizing him to
begin negotiations with Nicaragua after
reasonable time has elapsed without
result from the Panama concession.

Importers Furnish Bond.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, of the Department
of Agriculture, returned from New
York, where he was in conference with
importers and the Collector OF the Port
N. N. Stranhan regarding the enforce
ment of the Pure Food law.
The importers secured the approval
of the officials to an arrangement
whereby they will be allowed to remove
goods from the docks and warehouses
without delay, upon giving bond to
double the value of the goods Should
any imports be condemned by the in
spectors the dealers agree to return the
rejected articles Immediately for return
shipment The expense of rehandling
goods will be much less. it is calculated.
than the amount now paid out in stor-
age charges while awaiting completion
of the official inspection.
On the recommendation of the two
officials to their respective superiors,
the Treasury Department has issued
an order embodying the regulations de-
sired. This will expedite the handling
of shipments in the import line.

cess in airship building yet been re-
corded in the United States.
Without any advertising OF the
event, DR.. Greth surprised the peo-
pie by sailing over San Francisco, rails
ing and lowering himself at will, chang
ing his course with case and altogether
demonstrating that he had his aerial
courser under complete control.
The success of his experiment is the
more remarkable for the reason that
his apparatus was of the crudest kind,
the airship being equipped with cheap
gasoline engine able to generate only
SIX horsepower.
DR.. Greth had previously tested his
airship by making ascensions with the
balloon held captive by a long rope,
but Sunday was the first time that he
had gone skyward free. The ascension
was made from lot almost in the
heart of the city and DR.. Greth at
tempted to encircle a towering news
paper building about a mile eastward,
but found the high currents too strong
for his power and then turned in an
opposite direction. The winds carried
him oceanward, and for time he how

Gate. making various successful trials
of his steerin~ gear. The currents
threatened to- take him out over the
Pacific, and he decided to make
landing on the parade grounds of the
Preside military reservation. but made
the mistake OF letting out too much
gas and landed in the bay, about 200
feet from shore. The crew of the life
saving station rescued the aeronaut and
the flying machine, which was little
damaged by the unfortunate termina-
ton of the voyage.
The balloon of Greth is cigar-shaped
and hasa capacity of $4,000 feet of gas.
with a lifting capacity of 1900 to 1000
pounds. The car is similar in con-
struction to Santo-Dumont' and
weighs about 500 pounds.
The engine is 12-horsenower gas
oline motor. and the total weight car
ried skyward. including that of the in
ventor and 200 pounds of ballast, was
about 1900 pounds. For some mex
plicable reason the motor would not de-
yelop more than six horsepower, and
DR.. Greth found considerable difficulty
in making Roadway against the cur
rent
He expects to make another ascen-
sion in a few days, when he will have
repaired the minor damage caused by
the saltwater bath and rcmedied the
defects brought ont by his two-hour
cruise in cloudland.
Already money men have proffercd
aid. and Greth will at once construct Il
machine complete in all details.
With $1,000 he said, Il can build an
