panama CANAL BLOCKED
TREATY REJECTED BY coLUM.
BIAN GOVERNMENT.
It Never Expected 1t to Be Ratified
Columbian Senate Thinks Uncle
Sam Buffing About Nicaragua
Route-New Military Commander
Appointed.

Panama, Columbia, Aug. 10.-The
unanimous rejection of the Panama
canal treaty by the senate Colombia
has created a profound impression
here in all circles. The question on
all lips is what will become of Pana-
ma. The only consolation the 18TH
mians have is that the rest of the re-
public with exchange at a very high
figure and with an upward tendency,
will suffer a great deal more. 1t seems
that the government never expected
the treaty to be ratified and it was
not supported at all in the senate.
General Valezzo, an old veteran and
distinguished army officer, has been
appointed military commander Of the
department of Panama. 1t is thought
that the fears caused by the rumors of
a secession movement on the isthmus
may have influenced the appointment.
Sensation on the Isthmus.
Colon, Colombia, Aug. 19.-The re.
lection Of the canal treaty by the Co.
lombian senate has produced a tre-
mendous sensation on the isthmus. 1t
was generally thought that the treaty
would pass with some notifications.
There is good reason to suppose
that the majority of the senate re-
gard the Spooner amendment, to build
by the Nicaraguan route If the Pana-
ma route was rejected by Colombia,
as mere threat on the part of the
United States. They are convinced
that the Nicaraguan project is impos.
sible, and that the United States will
again deal with Colombia.
The rejection is a heavy blow to
property owners here, who have been
investing heavily on the prospects OF
the treaty being ratified.
Reason for Rejection.
The reason given for the rejection
Of the treaty by the Colombian senate
it is said here, was the alleged en-.
croachment on Colombian sovereignty,
which its opponents contended would
result from the treaty. This informa.
ton was contained in a dispatch re-
ceived tonight by DR.. Herran, the Co.
lombian charge, from Foreign Minister
Ricos, at Bogota.

TURKS LOSE HARD FIGHT.
In Six Hour Battle Insurgents Repulse
the Enemy.


Sofia, Aug. 20.-A reign of terror is
reported to prevail at Uskub, where
the Christian inhabitants are afraid
to leave their homes. The vail has is
sued the strictest orders to the Mus
sulman population to remain quiet and
not molest their Christian neighbors;
but the Mussulmans meeting in the
mosques have resulted in an agree
ment at a given signal to massacre the
whole Christian population immediate
ly the first insurgent bands appear
near Uskub, or on any other pretext.
The Christians are terrorized. The
Turkish troops, who are their only
protection, do not show the slightest
disposition to aid them. Telegraphic
communication between Sofia and Con-
stantinople is interrupted, the wires
having been cut between Adrianople
and Constantinople.
The Evening Post states that a
band of Bashi Bazouks have crossed
the Bulgarian frontier in the district
Of Etheldere, killed three frontier
guards with yatagans and wounded
two others. They also set fire to sew
eral houses. This raid has created
great excitement.
Slaughter at krushevo.
Sofia, Aug. 1S.-Reports received
here from Constantinople, and believed
to be authentic, confirm the previous
statements to the effect that when the
Turks recaptured Krushevo they
slaughtered the entire Christian popu-
lation without exception, and 1t is
pointed out that among the killed were
the employees of the government to-
bacco establishments, which were un-
der European control, as the proceeds
from these establishments were as
signed to the satisfaction Of the Turk
ish debt.
A fierce battle is reported to have
occurred in the neighborhood OF Mona
stir. Three Turkish battalions attack
ed 1000 insurgents, and, after the fight
had ragged for six hours, the Turks
were repulsed with the loss Of 21o kill

ChIVaIry.

The essence of chivalry is to look out
for the little ones. Wherever a child
can be helped, wherever stranger can
be guided or a friend who is shy set
at ease, wherever a weak brother can
be saved from falling and shame, wher-
ever an old mans step can be made
easy, wherever a servants position can
be dignified in his eyes. Is the chance
for chivalry to show itself.

The deer in the upper peninsula
are increasing at great rate every

number OF hunters who spend part
or the whole OF the open season
there. One reason advanced for
this increase is the great falling of
in the number of lumber camps as

David H. Holmes, for fifteen years

perienced land locker, is accused OF
having swindled a hundred or more
Marquette people by locating them
ON worthless government lands, the
lands being located mostly in Luce
county. Holmes is familiarly known
as Honest Dave" and according
to The Mining Journal, his scheme
was to locate people on government
lands, under the timber and stone
act, charging in each case from 5000
to $500 in commission, and, it is
said, his operations have netted
him from $l5, 900 to $4,000. Land
owners report that the land Is
practically worthless, being for the
most part barren plains, with few
struggling trees.
Holmes arrived in Marquette from
Detroit Thursday afternoon, on his
own volition, and his arrival in the
city SO soon was surprise to many
OF his alleged victims. A warrant
had been issued the day before fol

may be made against him. He says

Need Not Necessarily Accompan,
Him To the Claim.


Law officers OF the interior de.
partment when asked about the
practice in regard to residence on
their claims by married homestead.
ers, say that there is no hard and
fast rule requiring that married
man who makes q homestead entry
must take his family on his claim.
One official high in the legal d.
vision said:
while the law contemplates that
a homesteader shall establish a home
on his claim there is no absolute
rule or Interpretation which re-
quires q married man to take his
family with him when he establishes
such q home. The fact that he does
not take his wife and children, ifhe
has any, may be explained 10 several
ways, according to the> individual
cases. For instance, the wife may
be in poor health and not able to
stand the vigors Of breaking new
land and other hardships incident
to making o home on new land.
One child may be i'll, causing o
separation during the residence
period on the claim by the father.
The law has always been construed
literally in this respect, and, unless
there are other reasons for rejecting
final proof, the absence OF q
claimants family would not bar him
from getting q patent. The officers
OF the government generally con-
strue the intent OF the entrymen,
in his residence and improvement OF
the land, and If he has otherwise
complied with the law and es-
tablished q bonafide residence, that
is usually sufficient" :"
