LONDON'S INTEREST KEEN.
Rut There IL Little Betting There on the
Result Of the Cup Races.
special Cabl, Despatch To TIE ST


LONDON, Aug 20 The nature Of Lon
don's interest in the Cup races, which is
both universal and keen. is inst anced by
the fact that all outdoor exhibitions and
most indoor entertainments have made
elaborate arrangements to display the
result Neither the sporting clubs nor
the sporting press pu blish any local bet
ting, and as matter Of fact. there is very
little wagering on the result.
The STANDARD puts the sense Of the pub
lie here when it says that on both sides Of
the Atlantic friendly feeling will ALWAYS
be entertained for a sportsman with grit
in him.
The Chronicle thinks that the Cup races
create an enthusiasm which can be ex-
planned only by the constant desire Of
the Anglo-Saxon race TO be better than any
one else, even in useless things.
The Telegraph remarks that none Of Sir
Thomas Lipton's predecessors kept heart
and confidence after second rebuff. II
trusts that this time the hope centred in
the challenger will not be disappointed

Tammnny--C antor Gulltless, Too.

John c. Sheehan made a statement yes
terday and Jacob A. Cantor said he believed
It. Mr.. Sheehan said:
Il have never been asked to return to
Tammany Hall. nor by word or action have
indicated desire to do so. The attacks
on Mr. Cantor and myself are unwarranted
and unfair We have held no conferences,
because no conferences were necessary.
The desire of Mr.. Cantor and myself is t 0
see Tammany defeated and fusion tri-
umphant.
"Mr Cantor has played an important
part in the fusion administration and has
worked az hard as any man to make the
fusion cause success. If others had
worked as hard the situation would be much
improved"
Mr.. Cantor said the statement was all
right. 1t contained. besides the remarks
about Mr. Cantor, the assertion that the
G. n Y. D. would prefer to see Democrat
nominated for Mayor by the fusion forces
and that the organization was stronger
than it was two wears ago.

TREATY rs REJECTED.
Colombian Senate Throws Out Canal
Ratification

Colombian Senate Throws Out Canal
Ratification.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. An OFF,
cial dispatch has been received by
Minister Herran, in which it was plain
" stated that the canal treaty had
been rejected by the senate at Bcgota-
This confirms the information received
by the state department from Minister
Beaupre.
The rejection of the canal treaty by
the Colombian senate has produced
tremendous sensation on the fsthnpus.
1t was generally believed that the
treaty would pass with some mCdif1ca-
tons.
There is good reason to suppose that
the majority of the members OF the
senate regard the Spooner amendment
to build a canal by the Nicaragua route
If the Panama route was rejected by
Colombia as mere threat on the part
of the United States They are con-
WINGED that the Nicaraguan project Is
impossible and that the United States
will again deal with Colombia.
The unanimous rejection Of the Pan
anna canal treaty by the senate caused
a profound impression in all circles at
Panama. The question on all lips is
what win become of Panama. The only
consolat ton the isthmfans have is that
the rest of the republic, with exchange
at very high figure and with an up
ward tendency, will suffer great deal
more.
It seems that the government never
expected the treaty to be ratified, and.
it was not supported at all in the sen
ate.
$ General Lucio Velazco, an old veteF-
an and a distinguished army officer,
has been appointed military command
er Of the department of Panama It is
thought that the fears caused by the

PORTS TO BE OPENED.
Minister Conger Has Secured China's
Guarantee

WASHINGTON, Aug. tS.-Minister
Conger at Picking has secured d writ
ten promise from Prince Ching to sign
on Oct 8 treaty with the United
States which will include q guarantee
that MUkden and Tatungtao shall be
open ports. a-- 49,.
The arrangement made by Minister
Gonger for the signing of a treaty be-
tween China and the United States pro-
yiding for the opening of Mukden and
Tatungtao on the date of Russia's
promised final evacuation of Manchu-
ria ends the stubborn resistance by the
Chinese which for some time promised
TO be successful.
Prince Ching made one defense after
another until all were exhausted. He
first argued Russian opposition to the
opening of these ports. He then said
that he was not informed that Russia
had consented to the opening. Finally
he refused on the ground that China
was unable to open towns which were
held by another power.
When the present settlement was
proposed, with the explanation that
China must presume that Russia in
tended to fulfill her evacuation agree
ment, Prince Ching reluctantly gave in.
Tatungtao is a small port which does
not promise much business to attract
foreigners in the, near future It's open
Ing is mainly important as a victory
