Prospects for tho Canal

There is some reason to believe
thot Colombia, after all, will ratify
the canal treaty. Its congress has
now been in special session for lit
tie over week, but nothing has been
done thus far which gives any indi-
cation OF the attitude which it will
take on the question. Colombia's
president has sent message to his
congress which points out some of
the arguments for and against the
canal, but it is evident that he per
sonally feels that his country ought
to accept the United States terms.
The Colombians have had fair
warning of the the things that may
happen in case they should reject
the treaty. The Paris representative
of the French owners of the canal
property, which the United States
will buy if Colombia accepts the
treaty, has written to President Mar
roquin at Bogota, that the rejection
OF the treaty by his congress would
have chance to result in either one
of two things-the building of the
canal over the Nicaragua route or the
secession of the Colombian states
which occupy the Panama isthmus.
In case the United States builds on
the Nicaragua route the Panama ca
nal will never be finished, for there
will not be room enough on the Cen
tral American isthmus for two canals
and the United States would never,
in any case, permit European gov
ernment to build waterway across
any part of the isthmus.
Secession by the states Of the Pan
anna isthmus presents menace to
Colombia which the people of that
country ought to keep in mind. The
blindness on the part of the Colon.
bisns which would reject the canal
treaty would justify the people on
the isthmus to separate from the Bo-
gotta government and set up in bust
ness for themselves. If they could
maintain themselves for a time
against the central authority the peo-
pie of the isthmus would be able to
get favorable terms from the United
States for permission to build the
canal, and would be placed under the
United States protection on that &C
count. There are some powerful
factors working in favor of the rat
ification of the treaty, despite the
adverse reports which have been
coming from Bogota and other
quarters regarding the canal within
the past few weeks.-Globe Demo

The new rules this year in calling a

the foul-strike rule a batter is kept
from wearing a pitcher out, but his
chance to hit is reduced about 50 per
cent. In addition to sickness. disabled
men and not hitting, Kane was awful
in his decisions in the games with
Baton Rouge. While it is true the
Pine Bluff boys did not hit, how could
they when every old ball delivered
by the pitcher was called a strike,
whether it was ball or strike? The
consequences were that the men saw
they had no chance, and struck at
balls to keep from being famed out
The season is young yet, and no one
should be scared The team will
