To Forestal Colombia.

Gen. Reyes, the Colombian agent who
came to Washington to see if some ar
rangement could not be made to recover
sovereignty over Panama, has been re
ceived by Secretary Hay and made to
understand that what he seeks is i'm
possible. The fact that American ma
rines have been landed and have occupied
strategic points along the Panama rail-
road, also that the naval vessels are watch
ing the Gulf OF Darien, indicates that the
possibility OF an approach from Bogota
of Colombian troops is being provided
against. The canal treaty has been rati-
fled by the Panama government and has
been submitted by President Roosevelt
to the Senate for its action.

The second entertainment IN the lecture
course was given Monday evening in
Normal hall by Wilder's orchestra OF
Montpelie:. The company consisted oil
G.. II. Wilder, manager, flute; +. H. Whit
tier, violin; IL. q. Webber, viola; +. w.
Bruce, violin; George G. Jones, cello; Karl
Forsell, clarinet; F,.W. Bemis, from bone;
b. r. Marshall. clarinet Dean w. Edison.
drums; Anna q. Hutchins, pianist; to-
gether with DR.. Kinds, baritone soloist.
They were all artists, cultivated and re-
fined and by their genial and gentlemanly
manner easily captivated the audience.
Everybody, nearly has heard Of the Wilder
orchestra and the high reputation that
the manager has in handling the flute,
but one should hear to get any reasonable
idea Of its merits. Each one of the COM
pany was master of his instrument and
where everything comes so near perfection,
comparisons are invidious.
The hall was well filled and every num-
Der was eagerly encored and finely re-
sponded to, except twice.
DR.. Kinds is host in himself. As a
baritone soloist he has but few, IL any,
equals. He has a rich, deep voice and
knows how to use il.
The good taste in the selections aud the
gentlemanly bearing Of each member of
the company during the entertainment, as
well as both before and after it, has satis-
fed everybody that we need not 90 beyond
the bounds OF our own state to secure a
first-class entertainment.
