Colombian Congress TO Protest Hay
Ferran Panama Canal Measure.
New York, May According to
statements made to Tribune reporter
by Senior Francisco Carbonell, a mem-
Der Of the Colombian congress who i
now ia New York, the Hay-Ferran
Panama canal treaty will meet with
strong and determined opposition az
Bogota when it comes up for ratidca-
ton at the extraordinary session Of
congress which will probably be held
next month
.The probability Of the ratification
Of the Hay-Ferran treaty he said,
us very remote. Notwithstanding the
general belief in this country that it
will be readily approved. Objection to
the acceptance Of the treaty comet
from every part Of the republic. Nearly
every member Of congress has been
petitioned to vote against It, not only
because the terms threaten the SOW
ereignty Of Colombia, but we think the
terms should be more equitable.
"The opposition, which becomes
stronger as the session of congress APP
proaehes, Is not because we are against
the building Of the canal. We fully
realize the great benefits that viii ac-
crue to Colombia from the completion
Of the canal and we are anxious that
1t should be completed. But the point
is this: The CuIombians would like a
new treaty which does not provide for
the permanent ownership Of the canal
by the United States, or at least Co
lombia should be a partner IN the own
ership with Uncle Sam in return for
the territory, material and partly built
canal which she contributes toward

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei -Four Times a
Day and Be Cured.


If, few years ago, someone had said
you can cure eatarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the idea
would have been ridiculed, and it remained
for Il. 4. Booth, that eminent investigator,
to discover in Hyomei this method Of cure
Hyomei has performed the most mlrac-
ulous cures of catarrh and is today recog-
nized by leading members Of the medical
profession as the only advertised remedy
that can be relied upon to do just what It
claims
The complete outfit Of Hyomei costs but
sl.0O and consists OF an inhaler, a medi-
cine dropper and bottle Of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler for
a few minutes four times a day and it
will cure the worst case OF catarrh. 10
soothes and heals the mucuous membrane
Of the air passages, prevents irritation,
and effects complete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life In.
surance Company, J S. Nugent, Of New
York city writes Hyomei has com
pletely cured my daughter OF catarrh from
which she has been sufferer for years
In Barre there are scores Of well-knOwn
people who say they have been cured Of
catarrh by Hyomei II IT does not cure
you, kickert q Wells win return the
money you paid for Hyomei. This Is the
strongest evidence that can be offered as
to their faith IN the remedy.

thusiasm of the Romans, who had pre-.
pared a great reception for the German
emperor.
The arrangements made for the re-
ception of Emperor William were iden.
teal with those made for welcoming
King Edward There We're the samo
decorations and a similar display Of
troops. The only difference was the abb
sence of sunshine.
Emperor William is great fayorite
with the Romans of all classes owing
to the tact Of the house Of Hohenzollern
regarding Italian national susceptible
ties, and therefore remarkably large
and good natured crowds gathered
along the route to be followed by the
emperor in spite Of the depressing
weather.
Germans and Italians fraternized for
the occasion, and "Hoch, hoch, hoch!

the streets instead of the "Hurrah, hur-
rah, hurrahFp which had been shouted
so recently for the British king

The Rev. DIR. Nevin. rector of the
American church, entertained many
American guests and the French and
Spanish ambassadors on stand which
he had erected about the middle of the

about the stand, and the chimes Of the
church played the German and Italian

the Duke of Genoa drove in state car
riages to the railroad station, where

Splendid Military Review For the

Paris. May liking Edward has
witnessed the field maneuyers Of a..
600 picked French troops on the pa
rade ground at yincennes. 1t was
martial panorama of imposing proper
tons, resembling as near as possible
the conditions Of warfare, the troops
being uniformed and aecoutered for
actual field service.
The k.4g drove to Vincennes in an
open state coach, accompanied by Pres
ident Loubet, the cabinet ministers and
the heads of the army and navy. The
escort consisted Of a regiment Of cuiras'
siers. The streets were densely pack
ed, and the people continuously ae-
claimed the king Even the woods Of
vincennes were swarming with sight
seers.
As the equipage entered the field of
the maneuvers batteries of field guns
in deafening roar fired royal sa-
iute.
King Edward drove along the line Of
troops while fanfares of trumpets We're
sounded, standards were dipped and
bands played "God Save the King "
His majesty, who again wore the uni
form Of a British field marshal, with a
gray military cloak thrown over his
shoulders, surveyed the scene serious
" and critically, for 1t was sight to
impress even a king.
General Faure- Biguet the military
governor Of Paris, who commanded the
troops, formed them into two divisions.
The first was made up of brigades OF
regular infantry, zouaves and colonial
troops; the second included the mount.
ed forces, regiments Of hussars dra-
goons and cuirasslers and batteries Of
light feldpieces and ponderous siege
guns, forming vast eXpanses Of NOV
ing color and glittering steel. The
troops then denied before the king,
who rose and saluted each French
flag.
A dramatic climax to the review was
furious charge Of. the whole brigade
Of cavalry. 1t was a blood stirring
sight as the solid line Of horsemen
swept straight toward the kings trib-
une, the cavalrymen yelling and brand
ishing their sabers and terminating
with an abrupt halt in unbroken col
