ANCIENTS AND HONOJRABLES
REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT
AND MAKE THEIR ADIEUS
PROSPECT FOR CANAL
BETTER IN COLOMBIA
Dissatisfaction With the Course Pursued by the Congress
Responsible for the Change of Sentiment.

According TO the advices received in
Washington the sentiment in Colombia
is changing materially in favor of nego-
tiating canal treaty with the United
States. Dissatisfaction with the con-
duct of the present session of congress
is responsible for this change. Nearly
every paper in Colombia has bitterly
arraigned the present congress on ac-
count of its failure TO enact any laws
of benefit TO the country Not more than
five acts of consequence have been
passed by the congress, which has been
in session nearly four months. The cost
of the congress has been enormous and
the taxpayers are unanimous in their
protests.
Salaries paid to members of the Co
lombian congress are not large, though
mileage is an item of expense which.
taken in the aggregate. eats hole in
the Colombian treasury which is ap-
pailing.
Mutis-Duran's Attitude.
The situation in this respect has not
been benefited by the change made in
the position of minister OF finance.
Mutis-Duran, recently deposed as gov
ernOr of Panama. and subsequently, ap-
pointed by President Marroquin as min
lister of finance. is friendly to the canal.
AS a consequence he is not in sympathy
with the present session of congress. the
only effect of which has been to enter
into prolonged discussion of canal ne
gotiations with a view to exacting a
larger bonus from the United States
than this country is disposed to pay.
Mutis-Duran is member of growing
party in Colombia, which favors giving
to the president of Colombia authority

A RECORD
TO THE PRESIDENCY
Rooseyelt'S Remarkable PraiS. of a
Veteran Soldier.

I'D rather have your record than be
President of the United States" was the
high compliment President Roosevelt
yesterday bestowed on Brig. Gen. L. G.
Estes. of Washington. who fought in 121
battles of the rebellion.
The general is a medal honor man.
He called at the White House to ask
the President to give all veterans a half
holiday Saturday, when the Sherman
statue is unveiled.
81 was never treated more courteously
in my life," said General Estes later.
The President was walking through the
room as ! entered He stopped. shook
hands. ard said: You're a medal of
honor man. l know of you. Sit right
down here.
The President asked about the bat
ties IN which the general fought, made
the remark quoted and granted the re-
quest.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
BY THE STORM HERE
Winds, However, Blew Fifty
Miles an Hour.
TRAINS ERE ALL LATE
Bridges in the North Endangered-Hun-
ricane OFF the Virginia Capes.
Steamers in Trouble.

The storm which did so much dam
age In the North passed over the Dis
trict of Columbia and adjacent terri
tory, but so far the reports received
are - the effect that the loss south of
PhiladeIIhia has not been heavy.
In Washington the mercury dropped
seven degrees in twenty-four hours.
nearly two inches OF rain fell, and the
wind attained velocity at times of
nearly fifty miles an hour.
The foliage was torn from many trees
in the parks, and flags and awnings were
destroyed. but no buildings were in
jured. At the Weather Bureau. last
night, 1t was said that while there might
be continued high winds today, the
worst OF the storm has passed.
AS a result of the trouble farther
North nearly all of the early trains from
New York and Philadelphia were from
twenty minutes 70 two hours late. de-
laying the mails and newspapers. The
Royal Blue expresses of the Baltimore
and Ohio made good time. as did those
OF the Pennsylvania, in the afternoon.
Trainmaster Cooper, of the Pennsylva-
mia, and Leahy. of the Baltimore and
Ohio. reported that none of the trains
had been injured. Some of the bridges
in the North were for e while endaa-
gered.
The vessels on the river and Chesa-
peake Bay had a hard time. According
to the reports received by the Norfolk
and Washington company the night was
the toughest on the bay in ten years.
The vessels of the company had TO plow
through a gale blowing sixty miles an
hour General Manager Callahan,
however. reported that no damage had
been done.
The wind blew so hard from the north
on the river that the water was driven
in a flood into Chesapeake Bay Below
the city the food dwindled until the
river was not more than one hundred
yards wide.
The fats on both sides were uncov-
cred for the first time in six years. II
is said that number of coal barges are
aground down the river below Occoquan

and dry when the water was the lowest

reports received here the wind wa:

to negotiate a treaty with the United
States which would not require further
act of congress. 1t is not likely, how
ever. that this party will succeed, as it
is believed some way will be found to
close an agreement with the United
States before the next election. If af-
fairs were to take this turn it would
prove satisfactory to all friends of the
canal. and thus prevent a division of the
administration party on canal and anti
canal lines.
Session May End October 20.
The pres INT session of the Colombian
congress was convened by President
Marroquin, and consequently can be
dissolved by the Executive on any date
he desires. The general impression Is
that adjournment will be taken on Oc-
tober 20. though no official time has
been set. Public sentiment is against
the congress continuing in session
longer than that date. inasmuch as t
is already conceded that canal bill
cannot be enacted without further ex-
tensive negotiate Is with this country.
No information has been received for
some weeks from Bogota by Dr. Herran,
Colombian charge. nor at the State De-
partment from Minister Beaupre. The
President has allowed the impression to
go abroad that no explanation of the
attitude OF the Administration may be
expected until he sends his annual mes
sage to Congress. 1t is believed. how
ever. that some plan will be advanced
at that time which will promise water
way by the Panama route. and that this
Government will not be compelled 10
again enter into negotiations with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

DOING NIGHT WORK
ON TWO MESSAGES
President Finds Time Short to
Complete Recommendations.

With two messages to Congress de-
manding his attention. the President has
been compelled 10 take to night work
in order TO be ready FOR the special ses-
sion which will begin November . He
has expressed the wish also TO have his
message for the regular session well
under way before the special session cons
NencS.
Since returning TO Washington the
President has had little opportunity for
work. Callers have besicged him
throughout his Office hours. and, in fact.
have compelled him to extend these
hours far beyond the time Presidents
usually give to the reception of visitors.
