cession to run 100 years and lease not
to include Panama or Colon; an an
nual rental of $150,000 was fixed until
1867; lease renewable every 100 years
on payment of 20 per cent increase;
Colombian sovereignty over the whole
territory and inhabitants; police and
sanity regulations wholly Colombian
and time limit to be fixed for COM
pletion Of the work.
Mr.. Beaupre remarked that 1t was
highly probable that even these terms
would not be acceptable to the Colom-
bian congress.
Forerunner of Separation.
Under date of Sept. 10, Mr.. Beaupre
tee had not been discussed in the sem
ate He added:
"A fierce attack was made today in
the senate upon the appointment Of
Obaldia as governor of Panama. The
appointment is regarded as being the
forerunner Of separation. Of several
senators who spoke only the son Of the
president defended the action of the
government. A resolution was passed
by almost unanimous vote, which is
equivalent to a vote of censure against
the governor
He added that the situation was not
improved and there seemed no chance
of satisfactory action.
In letter which followed this cable
message Mr.. Beaupre commented on
the separatist tendencies of the newly
appointed governor of Panama, which
he said were we'll known. HE is re-
ported to have said," the letter con-
tinues, that should the canal treaty
not pass the department of Panama
would declare it's independence and
would be right in doing SO. That these
are his opinions there is, of course, no
doubt
The resolution Of censure referred
to reads as follows:
'"The senate of Colombia cannot see
with Indifference the appointment
which has been made to fill the post Of
governor of Panama, which it regards
as menace to the safety of the re-
public"
After being amended by omitting
reference to the governorship of Pam
anna, the resolution was unanimously
agreed to.
The two hours debate which preced-
ed the action was, Mr.. Beaupre said,
the most violent that has proceeded in
open session. Hostility to the govern
ment was shown both by the senators
taking part and the public in attend
ance.
1t seemed to be the opinion Of the
senators that the government was
proStituting the offices under it for the
purpose of electioneering.
Under date of Oct. 81 Mr.. Beaupre
communicated a positive feeling of
alarm in Bogota over the possible ac-
tion of the United States should the
feeling in Panama find expression in
overt acts. This alarm, he said, was
voiced in the senate on the day pre-
vious.
On Oct. % Secretary Hay cabIed to
Mr.. Beaupre: 'If you find DISPOSE
ton on the part of Colombia to ask
terms more favorable to Colombia than
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-12-20

those heretofore negotiated you may
intimate orally, but not in writing, that
1t will be useless to send a. special en-
voy."
Final adjournment of the Colombian
congress on Oct. 81 was duly reported
by Mr.. Beaupre on that date, with
comment that nothing had been done
except vote Of rejection Of the treaty
on Aug. II. He reported great anxiety
over conflicting reports of secession in
the Cauca and Panama departments.
On Nov. "a Mr.. Beaupre reported the
situation under control, but expressed
alarm, as there was, intense feeling
against the government, and also
against the United States, because OF
the belief that the United States had
encouraged the secession movement.
Raising Army Of 10000.
Mr.. Beaupre said an army of 10000.
commanded by Gen. Reyes, was being
raised to operate against Panama, pro-
viding the United States would allow
Colombia to land troops. This tele-
gram reported a meeting at which q
resolution was passed requesting the
government to call a convention for
the purpose Of amending the consti-
tuition for Immediately ratifying
the treaty. This was opposed
by the government and Gen. Reyes as
being inopportune. On Nov. IL Mr..
Beaupre telegraphed that he had been
invited to the cabinet meeting at the
palace the night before. He was asked
If he officially construed the telegram
of the 9Th to mean that the United
States would not oppose the landing OF
Colombian troops.
Mr.. Beaupre replied that the Ian
guage needed no Interpretation, and
that he had no explanation to make
He said there was great CONSERVATION
in government circles and there was
great danger to the Americans in the
interior, especially in Bogota.
Mr.. Beaupre said in this telegram
that Minister Rico declared his posi-
ton contrary to all precedents. He
stated that a vote of the national
council decided to 1 to hand him his
passports, but the government, under
standing that such action would be
tantamount to declaration Of war,
had advised that such a step would
not be taken. Mr.. Beaupre asked for
instructions as guide in case of sew
erance of diplomatic relations.
On Nov. IA Secretary Hay author
lied Mr.. Beaupre and the secretary Of
legation to take their leaves of abb
sence whenever Mr.. Beaupre thought
best, and to leave one of his colleagues
in charge.

day Mr.. Morgan moved to reconsider
the motion by which the nomination
Of w. /. Buchanan to be minister to
Panama was confirmed on Thursday
last, and the motion was discussed
for half an hour without being acted
upon.
Senators Morgan and Bacon both
said they had intended to oppose con-
firmation of Mr.. Buchanan's nomina-
ton, but had not observed when it
was taken up in the senate and had
therefore been unprepared for the an
nouncement of his confirmation.
They were not even aware of the
fact that the nomination had been
reached from the committee on for
eign relations. Senator Morgan said
he had been present at last Wednes-
days meeting of the committee, when
the nomination was supposed to have
been taken up; that he was the only
Deocratic member in attendance and
that he had not noticed when the NOM
inatlon was brought to the attention of
the committee. Both he and Senator
Bacon stated that so far as they are
now advised there is no personal OBJ
lection to Mr.. Buchanan, and both
based their opposition to the act OF
sending a minister to Panama at this
time. They did not enter into a dis
cussion Of conditions on the isthmus
beyond saying that every one knows
what those conditions are and that the
situation is still a matter Of congress
sional inquiry.
Senator Cullom, chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations. replied
that there had been no intention,
either in committee or in the senate,
Of getting the nomination through
surreptitiously, and said that 1t had
been taken up as matter Of routine
business. Considering 1t as such he
had made no comment upon it.
No vote was taken on Mr.. Morgan's
motion, but 1t has the effect of tying
the matter up as notice of the sem
ate's action had not been sent to the
president before the motion was en-
tered

MOODY TAKES HOLD.
Cautious Naval Commanders to Let
CoIombians Take Initiative.

OOtOHlpldHS axe InitiaItv6s
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 49,
Let Colombians take the initiative"
is the restraining keynote of specific
instructions which Secretary Moody
has cabled to the American naval COM
manders in isthmian waters. The sec
retary has taken active hold in the
shaping of the naval policy on the
isthmus, and from now on the instruo-
tions, whether to naval or marine Off
GERS, will, as far as possible. be pre-
pared at his personal direction.
1t was announced today that while
the situation on the isthmus was in no
way alarming to the Washington gov
ernment, it was sufficiently delicate to
compel careful and diplomatic hand
ling. For this reason secrecy has been
enjoined on officials Of the department
regarding the operations of the ships
and marines. The only official infor-
nation on the subject will be given
out at the direction Of the secretary.
At conference this afternoon be-
tween Secretary Moody and Brig. Gen.
George r. Elliott, commander of the
marine corps, the latter reported that
on tWenty-fOur hours notice he could
get under way to Colon with the new
Caribbean sea battalion, which is un-
der orders to assemble at Philadelphia.
This battalion, which it is intended
shall go south on the cruiser Dixie,
now on the way to Philadelphia from
Colon, will probably sail between Dec.
20 and Jan. /.

which every friend of Colombia would
regret"
On June 10 Mr.. Beaupre wrote that
a decided effort was being made to
change public opinion into a more ia
vorable consideration Of the treaty.
Mr.. Beaupre said he had been informed
by Mr.. Mancini, agent at Bogota of the
Panama Canal company, that he had
been told ratification could be secured
by payment Of $1O,000.000 from the
canal company to the Colombian gov
ernment.
On July Mr.. Beaupre wrote the fol-
lowing confidential telegram to Secre-
tary Hay:
Have received information private
ly that a paraphrase Of your cipher
telegram Of June was received in the
senate secret session and created a
sensation. 1t is construed by many
as q threat of direct retaliation against
Colombia in case the treaty is not rat
flied. This, and the statement Of just
arrived members of congress from
Panama that this department would
revolt If the treaty is not ratified, caus-
ed alarm and the effect is favorable"
Would Not Accept Amendments.
Mr.. Beaupre telegraphed Secretary
Hay July that he had been informed
by prominent Colombians that the
treaty could not be ratified without two
amendments, one increasing the price
to be paid Colombia by the United
States to $15,000,O00 and another re-
quiring the payment of $10,000,000 to
Colombia by the Panama Canal COM
pany. A reply to this was sent by Sec
retary Hay that neither of the propos-
ed amendments would stand any
chance of acceptance by the United
States senate. In a later dispatch Sec
retary Hay informed Mr.. Beaupre re-
garding the proposed amendments:
''The president would not submit to
our senate any amendment in that
sense, but would treat 1t as violating
negotiations and bringing about a fail
ure to conclude satisfactory treaty
with Colombia"
On Aug. IL Mr.. Beaupre cabIed that
President Marroquin informed him
that he should secure the passage of a
law authorizing him to continue and
finish negotiations for a canal, but un-
der what conditions he could not state
Under date of Sept. ! Mr.. Beaupre
gave conditions of this proposed law.
1t authorized the president of Colon
bia to secure a treaty for the construc-
ton of the canal or contract fer 1t

HOUSE VOTE WAS TIE
Williams Substitute on Postal
Reports Adopted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 19.-The
house, after being in session for half
an hour today, adjourned for the holi-
day recess. A resolution was agreed
to by,aWhich the postmaster general
was. requested to forward to the house
papers in connection with the post
office investigation. The action Of
yesterday authorizing the committee on
expenditures in the postoffice depart
ment, Of which Mr.. Wanger is chair
man, to request the papers, was va
Gated, the speaker having announced
that a careful count Of the vote on
which the previous question was or
dered, on the motion as offered by Mr..
Wanger,~to agree to the resolution au-
thOrizing his committee to request the
papers, Showed that with the speakers
own votezt the final vote was a tie, 107
to 1O7, and the previous question had
not been ordered. According to the
vote, as announced yesterday, after the
speaker had voted, it stood 10S to 107,
but when the mistake was announced
today all action taken subsequent to
that vote was vacated.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
then offered a substitute resolution
providing that the papers come direct
to the house instead of to a commit
tee, which was agreed to without op-
position. Mr.. Payne IN. " suggested
after Mr.. Williams had spoken, that
the resolution would receive the Unani-
nous vote Of the house without further
discussion.
In the discussion, Mr.. Cowherd
Dem,. Mo-, a member of the post
office committee spoke for that COM
mittee, saying the chairman, Mr.. Over
street, had suggested the widest pub
lictty to the papers received from the
department.
Mr.. Williams, addressing Mr.. Cow
herd, said:
Il want to suggest to the gentleman
that it had been reported, as shown by
portions Of the report of Messrs. Bona
parte and Conrad, that certain things
had been covered up, especially in con-
nection with Mr.. Heath
Mr.. Cownerd replied:
Il think the gentleman from Mis-
Eissippi misunderstands the report in
the publications in the newspapers. I

.DOMINICANS GIVE UP
Agree to the American Minis
ter's Demands.

SAN DOMINGO, Dec. 19.-The pro-,
visional government has agreed to all
the demands made by United States,
Minister Powell, including the appoint
ment of arbitrators, and that their de-
cision in the Improvement company
matters and in the Sala case shall be
fully recognized and settled, not to
again be reopened. The Ross conces-
sion settlement is accepted and the
Clyde concession will be fully respect
ed In all its parts. The minister agrees
not to demand any payment Of the
pending claims until March / next.
This may be considered a victory for
American diplomacy, as the provisional
government had positively refused to
recognize any Of the pending ATneri-
can claims saying 1t would oppose any
attempts to collect them. BY the ac-
tion of Minister Powell the provisional
government is bound by all the agree
ments made with former Presidents
Vasquez and Wos GIL.
The provisional government has pro-
tested a draft for $4,000 drawn by
Senor Ga1van, the Dominican arbitra-
tor in the Improvement company cases,
now being arbitrated at washington.
The Dominican provisional govern
ment, after considering the German
Spanish protocol referring to the Vim
amata-R Ruttlinger claim for $19S, 200,
has protested to the governments at
Berlin and Madrid that the protocol
violates the agreements with the ex-
terror and interior creditors of San
Domingo, including the German bond
holders. The latter are expected to-
protest against the protocol

ed of an intention to kidnap President

TAKING DOLLS TO CHURCH.
Bold Innovation Proposed by an Eng.
Iish Minister.


Rev. R. H. Armstrong, president Of
an English Unitarian association, at
a recent conference said that he had
adopted the plan of preaching
special sermon to children once in
every five or six weeks, but that even
this was not sufficient inducement to
keep the little tots quiet in church.
He was anxious to institute a reform
by novel appeal to the mothers. He
requested each mother to bring her lit
tie girls to church with a doll, which
should be the Church doll'' and which
the child should keep perfectly still
during the whole service. 1t is rather
discouraging to hear that not one Eng
lish mother carried his good advice
into effect, perhaps because none was
strong minded enough to begin. But
1t certainly would have a quieting ef-
feet on good many children one sees
In church on sunny Sunday morning,
when the restless legs and busy brains
want to go out and play very much
more than they want to sit quietly by
mother in church. -

ARTIFICIAL RUBlEs NOW MADE.
Process Turns Out Stones as Beautiful
as the Real Ones.


The manufacture of artificial rubies.
which in appearance are as good as
the natural stones, is now an accom-
plished fact. A demonstration of this
achievement was, given to the. mem
bers of academic des sciences yester-
day afternoon. e. :.
Some years ago artificial rubies
were placed on the market but
microscopical examination revealed
the fact that the crystals were imper-
feet. The 'rubies manufactured by M,
Verneuil, however, are of a superb
red color, and of purity and sparkle
equal to the genuine article. The cost
OF producing them is not heavy one,
Sc that there is every reason to antici-
pate that the new discovery will lead
to sensible diminution in the price of
the formerly precious stones.
The rubies are obtained by a new
process, in which the blow-pipe plays
an important part, and the stones are
both beautiful and of q goodly SIZE
The specimen shown at the meeting of
the academy was much admired by the
savants.-L0ndon Leader.
