CANAL TREATY PROBABLY DEAD.
Colombian Congress May Adjourn without
Acting Upon II.

WASHINGTON. Sept. l9.-Advices received
at the State Department this morning
from Minister Beaupre indicate discourag-
ing outlook for the canal treaty. A new
proposition, however. has been made to
this Government which may improve the
situation. 1t is suggested that no enort
will be made to extend the time for the
ratification Of the present treaty, but that
after the date for ratification has been
passed the subject will be taken up anew
and after the necessary formal convention
a new date be set for ratification. Another
featur of the plan as now being prepared
is that this Government merely indicates
that il will not push Colombia too hard in
The matter of time and efforts will be con-
tn,,eti to bring the Colombian Congress
to terms.
1t was said at the State Depart ment this
morning that the proposition from Colombia
merely asks that the matter be kept open
unit! the Colombian Congress aalonIns'
but does not ask for any extension OF the
time set for ratification. This request ~
baset,, it is said on the belief that Colombia
NAV vet be able to come TO terms witt the
Panama Canal Company for share OF the
$40 900 ,OOO which the United States Gov
eminent has agreed 70 pay. Negotiations tom
eminent and the officers OF the Panama
company are said to be now under way
Minister Beaupre In his cabfegram to
the State Department this morning ia not
80 hopeful, and while the entire despatch
was not made public the statement given
out indicates that he does not think the
situation very promising. This statement
says: ~ ~ s.. - ,,s ,oo,
received from Minister Beaupre at Bogota,
saying that there ia no change in the situa-
ton that the discussion of the canal ques-
ton appears to be in a hopeless state and
that It is probable that the Colombian
Congress may ad journ before Oct 20.

DEsERTI0Ns FROM THE ARMY.
! Gen. Macarthur Repairs .0A% IN His
Department In the Past Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, - Major-Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, in his annual report as
commander of the Military Depart ment OF
California, calls attention to the fact that
there were l.S44 desert ions during the eriod
covered by the report: and that Of these,
GA, or ls.t? per cent. of the main strength
OF the Department, were from permanent
garrisons. The remaining 43O were from
recruits, caTlals and regiments passing to
and from ne Philippines,
1T is no, apparent why so many men
resored O this violent method Of separating
from the service" says Gen. Macarthur,
and if the depressing result could III any
way he attributed TO American methods
it would certainly justify the deepest
solicitude on the part OF all concerned IN
the military administ rat ion OF the nation.
As a matter Of fact. however, the American
soldier is 40 well provided in respect OF all
his material necessities. and his PERSONAL
rights are so carefully safeguarded IN re-
spect Of all matters Of discipline. that
conclusion arises spontaneously IN the
minds of experienced Investigators to the
effect that desertion, to large extent,
i. Incidental to human nature, rather than
an expression Of specific defects in military
system, and as such is not within the scope
OF ordinary methods oil punitive control.
In this view Gen Macarthur ulHers from
other commanders OF military departments
whose annual reports have been received.
They attribute most OF the assertions to
the drink habit. which has become more
pronounced, according to some Of them,
since the abolition of the oanteen at army
posts.
Continuing on the subject. Gen Mac
Arthur says:
In the light of pust experience and Of pres
cnt conditions II seems apparent thnt the
United States. as a nation, must accept DE-
sertion as necessary evil unless emil light
ened public opinion can be induced to realize
| that ii Ia only ininical. as II Affects the army

! consequences is a menace to tho stability

able precision by any one who viii take tn. the
trouble to inquire into the aspects OF dessrtioh
