TREATY WILL BE OPPOSED.
Panama Canal Agreement VIII Have
Trouble of Adoption.

New York, May 2-According to state
ments made today to a Tribune reporter
by Senior Francisco Carbonell, a member
from Barranquilla of the Colombian con-
gress the Hay-Herran Panama canal
treaty will meet on the eve of his depart
ure for home with strong and determined
opposition at Bogota when 1t comes up
for ratification at the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress, which probably will be
held next month.
THE probability of their ratification Of
the Hay-Herran treaty" he said. is
very remote. notwithstanding the general
belief In this country that 1t will be
readily approved. Objection to the treaty
comes from every part OF the republic.
Nearly every member of congress has
been petitioned to vote against II, not
only because the terms threaten the
sovereignty OF Colombia, but we think
these terms should be more equitable. The
opposition, which becomes stronger as
the session Of congress approaches, is not
because we are against the building OF
the canal. We fully realize the great BEN
efits that will accrue to Colombia from
the completion of the canal, and we are
anxious that 1t should be completed. But
the point is this: The Colombians would
like new treaty which does not pro-
vide for the permanent ownership Of the
canal by the United States or at least
Colombia should be a partner In the own
ership with Uncle Sam in return for the
territory, material and partly built canal.
which she contributes towards the con-
summation of the propject.-'

Philadelphia, May 2.-Former Postmas-
ter General Charles Emory Smith re-
ceived today a letter from Postmaster
General Payne calling attention to the
charges made by Seymour w. Tulloch,
former cashier of the Washington post
office. Postmaster General Payne invited
Mr. Smith to make statement concern

Mr. Smith will do this, and viii probably
send his reply 10 the postmaster general
early next week.
In discussing the matter today Mr..
Smith said:
The charges made by Mr.. Tuiloch are
simply reiteration of those brought by
him about three years ago and printed
at that time in full in the Washington

o'clock tonight. He will remain here I'M

Denver and other points in Colorado.
While the day has been an extremely
busy one, 1t also has been interesting,
and the President has enjoyed 1t greatly.
He made many short speeches and was
greeted everywhere by large crowds.
The most interesting scene of the day
occurred at Victoria, a small place In
habited by Germans and Russians who
still retain great many of their old
customs. Several hundred of these-men,
women and children-were at the sta
ton as the train pulled In. the women on
one side of the track and the men on the
other. The children were with their
mothers, and when the President ap-
peared on the platform of his car they
sang very sweetly the Red, White and

Then a number of little girls ap-
preached the car and HANDED boquets to
the President. Mr.. Roosevelt was much

Casimer Reichin, the brother who was
In the house when the murder was COM

the conviction that there is not a single

guilt was on Father Walser.

quarter aggregated only about 1882. The
whole question was concerning which ap-
preparation Of money should have been
taken to meet the expenditures.
THE only question. to the best Of my
recollection that arose during my tenure
of office was regarding the manner OF
making certain appointments. 1t was
during the Spanish war. The army was
away and in order to forward mail to
troops 1t was necessary to detail clerks
from other Offices. These were carried
on the Washington payrolls. The situa-
tion was an emergency one that had to be
met.
IF my recollection is right, the comp
troller of the treasury asked NE to ex-
plain this. 1t was done and when the
emergency situation was made plain the
matter was adjusted satisfactorily. l
think there were two or three persons
who were carried on the roll as laborers
who were performing clerical work, but
this error was remedied. Subsequently
the matter was discussed in cabinet with
President Mckinley and my course was
approved"

Another interesting scene occurred at
Junction City, which Is close to Fort
Riley. A number of the troops were
drawn up at the station and a presiden-
tial salute was fired as the train APP
preached. Here the President spoke Of the
splendid record made by Kansas troops
In the Spanish war and In the Philippine
insurrection. He algo said:
''Officers and enlisted men in the reg
ular army are our fellow citizens who
have volunteered to wear the uniform
which is badge Of honor to them and
to us, and no body of men in all the
country deserve well more emphatically
of the entire country than the officers
and enlisted men of the army of the
United States. (Applause.) They have
added fresh pages to the honor roll OF
the republic by what they have done in
the Philippines, by the courage and
soldier-like efficiency which they have
shown In these islands and by the ex-
traordinary moderation, self-restrant and
humanity with which they have carried
themselves in one of the most difficult
and one of the most righteous contests
ever waged by any civilized nation"

Bulgaria of responsibility for the recent

asserted that T.rkey will bring forcible
pressure to bear against the principality

On the other hand. the Bulgarians de-
clare that their government has been
deeply affected by these outrages, which

movement, but that 1t is powerless against
the Macedonian desperadoes.

expressed at Turkeys negligence In fall

Valuable Special Knowledge.


The unique botanical knowledge Of
Sir George Birdwood, one of the most
erudite men in the India service, once
enabled him to perform almost uncon-
scfously neat bit Of detective work.
He was in Bombay when he was
asked to investigate the case of a
young noblcman who in applying to
the governor for an appointment repre-
scented that he was just out from Eng
land and that his letters Of introduc-
ton had been lost on the voyage.
A few days after DR.. Birdwood, as he
then was, had undertaken the tnvesti-
cation he met the young nobleman at
dinner at the governors house The ia
BILE decorations Of orchids suggested a
conversational opening. and DR.. Bird
woods praise drew from the young no
bleman standing opposite:
you should see the Amherstia nobi-
lis in its native woods, sir"
It was fatal remark.
"You come from Rangoon. Them in
stantly exclaimed DR.. Birdwood.
The pale face, the silence that could
be felt, the request of the young man
that he might leave the table, oil pre-
pared the governor and the company
for the subsequent discovery that he
had absconded from Rangoon with
some public funds.
