Colombia's New President Will Ask
for Share of Canal Price.
New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 14.-General RAJ
fael Reyes, the Colombian special
plenipotentiary in Washington, and
who has been elected president OF
Colombia, has definitely decided that
1t will be useless for his government
to attempt an invasion of the isthmus
of Panama in view of the determines
ton of the United States to preserve
the peace of the isthmus and the In
dependence of the Panama, republic.
He will devote all his endeaVors to
that end, hoping to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the present
differences between Panama and CO.
lombia with the best terms possible
for the latter.
1t is understood that General Reyes
will make an effort thru the good
offices of the United States, to secure
from Panama a recognition of Col
ornbia's equities in the Panama canal
! with the object of obtaining for Coli
ombia part of the, 100000 to be
paid to the new republic upon the e4-
change Of ratif1cations of the canal
treaty now before the. United States
| senate. He will also endeavor to
have Panama consent to assume a por-
| ton of Colombia's foreign debt.
! General Reyes will probably sug-
gest to the United States government
| that the question of its right; to pre-
| vent the invasion Of the isthn1us by
Colombian troops under the New
| Granadian, treaty of 1886. be sub
| 1nitted to arbitration, but he knows
in advance that request of that
character will be refused.
| - May Not Accept.
General Reyes said Tonight that he
might not accept the. presidency of
| Colombia. Before leaving Bogota he
| said he had renowned his candidacy
| for the office. It is generally be-
lieved, however, that General Reyes
will succeed President Maroquin. He
! has received word from Colon bia
that in a, general election held on
Dec. 8 to choose electors who will in
turn choose the president, majority
of the electors chosen would vote for
him. The electors will meet in Feb
ruary, and the person chosen by them
to be president will be inaugurated
on Aug. Z.
Acting Secretary of State Loomis
| to-day returned a formal call which
! General Reyes made him last week.
William 1. Buchanan. who was
nominated by President Roosevelt to
be minister plenipotentiary to the re-
public Of Panama on special mis-
sion, will sail on Tuesday for Colon.
General Reyes called on Mr.. Bu-
chanan yesterday, thus indicating his
| desire to bring about a resumption OF
relations between Colombia and
Panama.

ADAM AND EVE
MERELY MYTHS
New York Minister Declares
They Never Existed and the -,
Fall Never Happened.

New York, Dec. 14.-In a sermon on
the life of the late Herbert Spencer
the Rev.Dr. Minot P, Savage,in the Uni
tartan church of the Messiah, has CIV
ell the theory Of evolution credit for
having forever destroyed intelligent
belief on the part of anybody in the
garden of Eden, Adam and Eve or the
fall of man.
"Evolution,' he asserted, "has for
ever removed these stories and kim
dred ones, to the land of myth, where
they belong
In concluding his remarks, DR.. Saw
age said:
Humanity has been on this earth
two or three hundred thousand years
at least. Humanity, however slowly,
has been evolving, and from the far-off
beginning there never has been any
fall. t= .., ~ -..
evolution has wrought out not the
fall Of man, but the ascent Of man.
That means the complete reconstruct
ton of the entire theology of
Christendom 1t is coming; it has
got to come. There are thousands of
churches to-day in which the Eden
story is quietly referred to as tho it
were poetry or allegory.'

POPE Plus ILL
His Sisters Want Him to Abdi
cate and Return as Patri-
arch to Venice.

Rome, Dec. 14.-Pope Plus is being
pressed by his sisters to abdicate It
is hardly thought that he will agree
to their wishes, but it is a significant
fact that no successor has been ap-
pointed to his holiness as patriarch of
Venice. His sisters would like him to
return to that see. 1t is now in charge
of vicar only.
: Undoubtedly the pope's health is
not as good as his friends would like
it to be. His heart is constitutionally
weak and he Is suffering for lack Of
change in air and scene. This is caus-
ing, considerable disquietude.

A Long Campaign of Guerrilla War
fare on the Isthmus
Expected.

Colon, Dec. IA company of
marines from the U. S. S. Prairie
landed here to-day under command of
Captain Smedley D. Butler and was
entertained for Panama, whence the
marines will be sent to a point on the
coast, south of Panama.
This step was taken in consequence
of the receipt of information that Cos
lumbar troops had landed in that VIZ
entity with the object of marching ON
Panama.
If this is confirmed it will mean the
beginning of a long campaign OF
guerilla aWarfare on the isthmus.
The destination of the marines is said
to be Yaviza, between the San Miguel
gulf and the Taira river.

PANIC IN CHINATOWN
Member of the Orchestra Shot Dur
ing Theatrical Performance.

San Francisco, Dec. 14.-An UNI
known Chinaman, with revolver in
hand, stepped out on the stage of the
washington Street theater and fired
four shots at Gee All Gong in the or
cf1estra as he was beating the Gym
balls, infiicting wounds from which the
victim died an hour later.
Gong's cymbals flew from his hands
as he toppled off his seat and he rolled
over on the floor. Several hundred
Chinese in the audience were horror
stricken and pandemonium broke loose
in mad rush for the door. The MUIR
derer disappeared, but no one pur-
sued him.
The police have no clue to the as
sassin, as the victim belonged to no
society and was not involved in the
blood feud now raging in Chinatown.

General Reyes Tells Friend He
Won't Desert His Country.

Washington, Dec. 14.-If elected to
the presidency Of Colombia by the
overwhelming majority which Bogota.
dispatches indicate, General Rafael
Reyes, Colombian minister to the
United States, the Associated Press
learns, would regard this call of his
country as a command which it would
be difficult for him to refuse to obey.
General Reyes has consistently de-
clined to discuss the question of his
election, but to an intimate friend he
is quoted as saying that he could
hardly refuse to serve his country in
the hour of her need, altho he is not
a politician and has never sought the
presidency.

 PUBLISHING O. PHONE, MAIN Entered a the Valdez posohice matter

In looking over an old file of pa- pers a portion of a speech made by Judge Wickersham last winter be- fore the Seattle chamber of com- merce was found, in which he form- ulated some of the prime needs of Alaska at that time. as follows:
 1. A public survey, so that land laws can be put in operation.
 ?. A delegate to congress.
 3. An extension of the home- stead laws, allowing the settler to take up 32O acres.
 f. The establishment of fish hatcheries.
 ,. An all-Amcrican wagon road to the interior via Copper river.
 6. Coast surveys and light houses along the entire coast.
 Looking over the laws that have been enacted for Alaska since that time..we find that four of the re- concentrations are being or have been acted upon. Bids have been called for a public survey in Cop per river valley. The homestead laws have been extended to Alaska. Fish hatcheries are being establish cd, and surveys of the coast are being completed as rapidly as pos sible. The two most important recommendations, however, have not been acted upon. Those are, the wagon road and the delegate to congress It is more than proba- ble that an appropriation for a wagon road will be made this win ter, and it is to be hoped that the people of this section will then turn their attention to the delegate question and get it through.
 Owing to the failure to get the delegate bill passed last winter. the matter has been dropped tenn porarily, but the people of the div ision should see that it is brought up again, for in the election or ap- pointmcnt of delegate, we stand a good chance, with the assistance of Nome, of securing n representa- tive who will be favorable to this section. Under present conditions territorial government would give southeastern Alaska the entire say in the district, as is proven by the apportionment of the delegates to the Juneau convention, while with a delegate in congress who will look after the interests of this sec ton, we will be able to secure need cd legislation until such time as conditions warrant territorial government,
