Frankfort, Ky, May 1.-The county canvassing boards will meet In all the counties in the state tomorrow to can vass the returns from Saturdays state primary, and until after this is done the contestants for clerk of the Court of Ap- peals, attorney general and superinten- dent of public instruction will remain in dispute.
 Robert L. Greene, candidate for clerk of the Court of Appeals, received the of- hcial returns today, which gave him big majorities and Greene now claims his nomination over J. Morgan Chinn. the state administration candidate, by COOK or more. Chinn says he believes conh- dently that the official count will show a majority for himself. MT. Greene has employed counsel to represent him at the count in Louisville tomorrow, where his friends charge the vote against him was padded.
 Harry Tandy. who is one of the mana gers of J. H. Fuqua, arrived here to- night and says Fuqua's returns show him nominated for superintendent of public instruction by over 5000. It Is gen orally conceded that N. B. Hays has won the nomination for attorney general, but J. Willard Mitchell. his closest competi- tor, does not concede Hays nomination.

We need to understand that the commanding position already occupied, and the infinitely more commanding posi- ton that will be occupied in the future by our nation on the Pacific, this, the greatest of all the oceans, is one which during the century opening, must pass under American influence, and as inevit- ably happens when great effort comes 1t means that a great burden of respon- sibility accomplishes the effort.

Therefore, l believe they will hail the chance this cen- tury brings as one in which they should rejoice a mighty and masterful people to have.

SANTA MARIA ERUPTION.
Coffee Plantations In Guatemala De-
 stroyed and Revolution Feared.

Mexico City, May 11.-News brought here from Guatemala by people who have seen the ruin wrought by the recent erup- ton of Santa Maria volcano, confirms all the previous reports. The situation could hardly be worse.
 All the coffee plantations in the vicin- ity of the volcano" says Manuel Hurtado, just arrived here from Guatemala, "have been destroyed for all time. Ashes from ten to fifteen feet deep cover the country In the neighborhood of the volcano ashes are so deep that only some of the tops of tall trees can be seen Scoria and ashes cover 1000 square miles of land to depth of five to fifteen feet and five thousand square miles to depths of from one to five feet. One-third of the entire coffee crop has been destroyed. About 3o0.0O qulntals of the very choicest coffee have been lost, and all land upon which 1t was grown Is doomed to eternal sterility. As to whether or not the economic conditions produced by the national catastrophes will tend to produce a revolution, is a question I can- not answer, but l can say that President Cabrera has everything well in hand"

v,,,,nL TREATY
 ID BE OPPOSED Three Elements Against Granting
 the Concession CONGRESS MEETS IN JUNE 
One Faction Opposes the Perpetual Control By u. S., Another Thinks Payments Too Small and the
 Other Comes Prem Rehels.

Washington, May 11.-Private advices from Colombia state that there are three elements opposed to ratification of the Panama canal treaty. One element an- tagonizes the feature giving the United States perpetual control; another urges that the indemnity and annuity Is not sufficient and the third element consists of revolutionary spirits who fear that with the Colombian treasury enriched by sl0,OOO,00O, the governments strength will be so increased as to destroy all hope of success tram any revolutionary movement.
 Dr. Herran. the Colombian charge dal- faires here is without official advices re- garding the attitude of the majority ol the members-elect to the congress. when the Colombian congress Is convened June 20. there will be just one month Tor con alteration of the treaty and such other matters as may be called before II py the president as the regular session meets July 2O If the president sends the treaty to congress first under Colonpla ? luies of procedure, no other subject can pc con- sjdered until that is disposed or.
 Re-organization of the finances Is the most important matter before the Colom- bian government and as the determlhatloh of the question of the treaty has an lm- portant bearing on the finances, It IS as sumed here that the treaty will be sent to congress first, in order that 1t may pc known whether the government treasury is to be enriched by the addition Of $lo 100000. or whether the congress must pro- csed on the basis of the government present financial condition.
 Fever Along Canal Route.
 Washington, May 1l.-General Haines, a member of the isthmian canal com mission who has just returned from the isthmus, says that fever Is prevalent there and it is a quite dangerous type to white men, He says 1t is either yellow fever or such a malignant type of malarial fever as to be as bad as yellow fever. The condition can be improved, but 1t would require control by the government of sanitary measures He thinks 1t would take about a year to place the canal re- zion in proper sanitary condition.
 No Confirmation of Report.
 Washington, May 1.--No confirmation has been received here either by the state department or by the Colombian legation of the reported resignation of President Marroquin of Colombia on account of political troubles. Such a step on the part of the president, however, would not be surprising, as he is nearly 50 years of age and of a quiet and retiring disposition The understanding here has been all along that President Marroquin is favorable to the ratification of the Panama canal treaty.
