NO CHANGE IN ATTITUDE.
United stntes VIII Not OmciaIiy Notice
Bombardment.


Washington, Jan. 96.-The meeting
of the cabinet was one of the most
important held in several weeks. Sub
jects of great moment were discussed
fully, the session continuing for two
hours All the members of the cabinet
were present, Secretary Hay leaving
his home for the first time in several
days to attend the meeting. He pre-
sented o draft of the Panama canal
treaty and both the president and his
associates in the cabinet expressed sat
isfaction with the results achieved.
The Venezuelan situation was dis
cussed at length, but it can be said by
authority that no change in the atti-
tude of the United States is in con-
temptation at this time. The bonn
bardment of San Carlos by the German
warships is regretted sincerely by
officials of the administration because
of their apprehension that it may COM
plicate seriously the pending negotia-
tions between Minister Bowen, as the
representative of Venezuela, and the
representatives of the powers. How
ever, while the administration regards
the bombardment as unwarranted, the
United States has no intention OIL
taking official recognizance OF it.

Topeka, Jan. 26.-John Francis, OF
Allen, wants to stop the steals in the
miscellaneous appropriation bill, and
believes it will take a constitutional
amendment to do it. Under the pres
ent constitution governor cannot
approve one clause and veto another OF
the same bill. He must approve or
veto it as whole. In order to give
him authority to veto any clause or
item of bill and approve the re-
mainder an amendment must be made
to the constitution. Francis introduced
q resolution providing for it in the
house. He wants it submitted to the
people at the next general election.

Paris, Jan. 26-The officers of the

gratified at the signing of the treaty
between the United States and Colon
bia providing for the construction OF
the canal. One Of the chief officers of
the company said: "our reports from
Bogota show that session of the
Colombian congress will be held in
April or May. There is little proba-
bility of opposition to the canal treaty
in the Colombian congress, particularly
II the u. S. senate ratifes It."

NOW BEFORE THE SENATE.
The Treaty With Colombia is Only
Changed in Annuity Figure
PERPETUAL LEASE SECURED

Washington, Jan. 2G-Thc treaty be-
tween the United States and the gov
eminent of Colombia, which was signed
by Secretary Hay and DR.. Herran' as
the representatives of the two coun-
tries, was transmitted to the senate
and by the senate referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
The treaty was read in executive ses-
sion. BY the terms of the treaty the
United States agrees to make cash
payment of $40, 100000 in gold to the
Colombian government and after the
expiration of years to pay a rental
of $3.50, 900 per year.
With the $40, 900, 900 to be paid to the
Panama company, the cost to the uni
ted States of the right to begin work
on the canal will be 100000.
The lease of the strip of land to be
used for the canal and for canal pur-
poses, is practically made perpetual
the provision on this point being that
the lease shall be for 100 years and re-
movable thereafter in terms of 100
years at the pleasure of the United
States.
The strip is to be about six miles in
width and over this territory the Uni
ted States is given police and sanitary
jurisdiction, although it is explicitly
specified that Colombia does not sur
render sovereignty over it. The United
States is to have the privilege of free
importation of vessels and materials to
be used in the construction of the canal.
1t also is given the right to improve,
use and protect harbors at both the
Atlantic and Pacific ends of the canal.
The grant is made exclusively to the
United States and no taxes or rentals
are to be charged in addition to the
gross sum of SlO,OOO,ooo cash and $780,
900 annually.
The treaty is identical with that
drawn by this government several
months ago and at that time submitted
to the Columbian government with the
single exception of the amount of the
annuity to be paid Colombia for the
right of way of the canal. This gov
eminent proposed an annuity OF $780,
while Colombia demanded S650,00O.

THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.
Completely Strips Bark From Tree
No Trace of Fire.

That much valuable knowledge as
to the effects of lightning may be
gained by a study of trees that have
been struck by it is maintained by
many English scientists. A tree
which stood for many years on the
side of a road few miles from Wal
lingford, in England, was struck by
lightning during a violent storm a
short time ago and utterly destroyed.
Mr.. Percy E. Spielmann examined it a
few hours afterward and found that
the bark had been completely strip
ped off and flung to one side, and
that a large branch had also been
torn away and splintered. He looked
for some token of fire but was unable
to find any He noticed, however,
that the inner surface of the bark
was marked longitudinally with thin
wavy lines, very close set, of which
the crests were about quarter of an
inch apart. He took several photo
graphs of the ruined tree and he re-
CARDS them as most useful, since they
show clearly the rending effect OF
lightning on a fibrous tissue.

SIGN PANAMA CANAL TREATY
Will Be Sent To Senate Before
Details Are Made Public.
THE CESSION IN PERPETUlTY.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The treaty
between the United States and Colom-
bia for the construction of the Panama
canal by the United States is signed.
No details of the signature of the
treaty were obtainable, but at the
presidential reception at the White
House the news that the treaty was an
accomplished fact, leaked out. Later
the news was confirmed in official
quarters 1t had been intended not to
make the signature of the canal treaty
public at once, but the news appar-
emily was too good for some of the
friends of the canal to keep. Fears
had been entertained until this week
that Colombia would not be willing to
accede to the wishes of the United
States in the matter, and that recourse
to the Nicaragua canal project might
be forced on the government of the
United States. But this week events
took a more favorable turn and Colom-
bia transmitted instructions and au-
thority to DR.. Herran, its representa-
tive in the United States, that made
possible conclusion of the long nego-
tiations. The principal obstacle for
some time to the conclusion of the
treaty has been the price that the
United Stated was to pay in the shape
of cash payment, and by way of an
nual rental for the strip of territory
along each side of the canal right OF
way.
Some time ago there was hitch over
the question of the extent to which
control by the United States over this
strip of land should go, Colombia OBJ
jecting on the grounds that the pro-
visions required in the treaty by the
United States would mean relin-
punishment of sovereignty by Colombia
over part of her territory, but this
matter was amicably adjusted, as was
difference as to the lifetime of the
lease of the strip of land in question,
the final result being practical ces-
sion in perpetuity of the strip to the
United States for canal purposes and
incidental police control and protection
of the canal right of way.
The canal treaty was signed at Sec
rotary Hays house. Mr.. Hay acting
for the United States and DR.. Herran,
the charge datfaires of Colombia, who
had been specially given full power to
negotiate the treaty, signing in behalf
of Colombia. The treaty will have to
90 to the senate for ratification. 1t is
stated that details of the agreement
will not be made public in advance OF
the transmission of the treaty to the
| senate
