to the number of over 1000 per an
mum, are all made in Lake City at
the factory owned and operated by
A H Williams & Go.
The Star tobacco warehouse is
managed by Col o 7 Hall, the pio-
neer warehouseman of Lake City.
Col Hall has done business at the
old stand for three seasons and has
earned an enviable reputation for
uniform courtesy and correct busi-
ness methods. He gives personal
attention to every sale and makes
every pile on the floor bring the high
dollar. TO quote the genial Colonel,
"When william Henry gets to
pushing he makes things hum"
Col Hall IS assisted by Messrs J R
Motley and George G Motley as
book-keeper and auctioneer, respec-
lively. Both these young men are

to do a better. part than ever before
by his friends and patrons. His as

old and experienced warehousemen
and its prospects of success are en-
couraging. The new building is
conveniently located, well lighted,
with ample stable room and the best
accommodations in every depart
ment. A large corps Of competent
assistants has been employed.
The King warehouse has been for
tunate in securing the services of
Mr. W P McGill of Cades as solici-
ting agent.
In addition to tobacco and truck

"Felonious" PhIlo. o kicaI study.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Under
the head line Queer Cases in Ireland" the
following appeared in your columns to day,
but not in the form Of despatch;
Az the Dundrum Petty Sessions Court, In Dublin
county, nine respectable young men were charged
recently with unlawfully assembling together to
disturb the peace A policeman swore that they oil
repeatedly threw voeys Of stones at him. ON cross
examination he admitted that at the time Of the
stone throwing the young men were only ten yards
away from him, and none OF the stones hit him.
The charge behind the charge was that the young
men attended Gaelic class where they met "ielon-
lousy to learn" the language Of their forebears.
Counsel for the defence offered to produce wit,
nesses who would clearly establish the Innocence
OF tho young men. But the prosecution objected
TO any evidence for the defence on the ground that
under the act OF Edward III. the defendants were
not entitled to IT, The Court sustained tho objcc-
ton. and the young men were convicted.
This will be surprising news to most Irish
men. 10 is no felony. it is not even misde
meanor. for lrishmen 10 teach or learn Irish.
There is professor Of Celtic at Dublin Uni
versty and two examiners in the same Ian
guage in the Royal University. Celtic is a
subject on the list of tho intermediate Educa-
ton Board and on that OF the National Board
OF Education. The Celtic revival. as n literary
affair, has the support Of all classes of Irish
men, official and otherwise.
The above reads like fairy tale

comparative showing Of the two admins
trations is no less to the credit OF the flu
sion system. In four years Tammany
let sewer contracts amounting to s., 1885,
1858 in the aggregate. In four years con-
tracts let for $855, 975 .s8 were completed.
The other contracts we're under way
when Tammany was turned out of Office.
In the eighteen months from Jan. 1, 1902,
to July 1, 1908, contracts for new sewers
amounting to s2,s7i ,457. So were let. That
is, in eighteen months of anti-Tammany
rule improvements were contracted for
which are worth $433, 900 more than those
which Tammany began in forty-eight
months. To-day ,344,5eO.53 worth Of
new sewers are under construction in
Brooklyn, record which no Tammany
administration would ever have made.
There is nothing in these statistics to
stir the blood or excite the imagination.
They are business, dry as-dust, tiresome.
They prove conclusively, however, that
the Tammany organization neglected its
duties, failed to provide for the absolute
necessities Of the people, and used their
wealth and power to protect crime and
wiring an income from vice.

The Elections of 1908.

The diminishing list of States holding
general elections in "of years has been
reduced SO as to include now only Ohio,
always conspicuous in any political
group, Kentucky, Maryland. Massa-
chusetts, Iowa, Rhode Island and Mis-
sissippi. In some other States, notably
PENNSYLVANIA and Nebraska, candidates
for other offices are to be voted for;
but, generally speaking, the elections
which are OF national interest are not
held this year.
But in New York city, whatever
may be the case in other States, this
years contest is not an "off" one. Ac-
cumulated evidences of popular interest
in meetings, campaign work and polit-
ical activity, all reflected in the large
registration, point Enthusiastically to n
probable total vote of not less than
SOC, 900, which is larger than that Of
Iowa, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Rhode
Island or Maryland cast in the Presi-
dental election OF three years ago. 1t
is a vast electorate, great in number
and important in influence.
Whatever the elections of 1903 may
be elsewhere, this is no "off year" in
New York city. Shall New York go
forward or turn back?

A New Canal Treaty Proposed

There has never been any doubt that
President MARRoQUIN OF Colombia ID
personally willing, and even anxious, to
see the Panama Canal completed by the
United States. 1t is no fault of his that
his wishes have been disregarded by the
Colombian Senate. That he is not dis
couraged by his inability to get the Hay
Herran treaty ratified at Bogota is evident
from the fact that he has already taken
steps to reopen negotiations with our
State Department. He has instructed
DR.. HERRAN, his representative at Wash
ington, to arrange, if possible, with Sec
rotary HAY new canal convention, 30
framed as to meet the objections made
by Colombian Senators to the former
agreement.
1t is understood that the changes
suggested aim to safeguard Colombia 8
sovereignty and to augment the bonus
and the annual subvention to be paid for
the franchise and the incidental priv
ileges which our Government desires.
The ground on which the Hay-Herran
treaty was rejected by the Colombian
Senate was that the stipulatons relating
to jurisdiction were irreconcilable with
the upholding of Colombia's sovereignty
on the 1sthmus 1t was further pointed
out that the Colombian Constitution for
bids a surrender of the republics SOW
ereignty, as we'll as an alienation of ma
tional territory. 1t was not disputed,
however, at Bogota that the Constitu-
tional provision against alienation had
been successfully evaded in the Hay
Herran treaty by the substitution OF a
long lease for an outright sale of the canal
zone. 1t should be equally possible to
devise in new convention such regula-
lions for the enforcement Of law and
order on the Isthmus as would not tech
nically impair the sovereign rights Of
Colombia. Nor should too much stress
be laid on theoretical claims Of juris-
dictlon. When we set to work to COM
plete the waterway we shall see to it that
justice and equity prevail. Should any
oppression be attempted by the local
courts, it will be the worse for those
tribunals.
As regards the amount of purchase
money payable to Colombia. we are told
that in the opinion of the Bogota politi-
clans the bonus ought to be raised from
ten million to about fifteen million dol
lars and that the annual subvention to be
paid by way OF rent should be so increased
as to equal the revenue now derived from
the Panama Railroad and from light
house and port fees. The latter demand
IL not unreasonable.

COLOMBIA 70 Build CANALr
Seeking European Capital 10 Complete
the Panama Waterway

WASHINGTON, Oct. ~ DR.. Herran, the
Colon ,ian Charge d'Affaires, had a talk
with Secretary Hay to-day, Mr., Hay
learned that Senior Arciniegas of the CO.
10 nbian diplomatic service, who arrived
here this week supposedly with new pro-
posals from his Government for the negotia-
ton of a Panama Canal treaty brought no
such proposals, and in fact only cam to
Washington on his way to Europe to deliver
to DR. Herran some comparatively unim-
portant comm unic atoms bearing on the
canal GU >stion.
The State Department has heard, how
ever, through sources connected with the
Panama Canal Company, that Sehor Arci-
niegas asserts that European capitalists
are ready to advance the money to
build the Panama Canal, and that the Co
lombian Government is Indifferent on that
account 10 making another canal treaty
with the United States, According to
this information. Senior Arciniegas de-
clares that his mission to Europe Is to ar
range for the completion of the canal by
capitalists over there. Officers here think
these statements should be taken with the
greatest reserve, as they are evidently
designed to influence the action of the
United States in the canal matter.

JEROME REsERvsrR INQUIRY.

Craven TesstRes That Mcdonald wanted
to Substitute Stone Dust for Sand.
The Aqieduct Commissioners began yes
tcrday to hear the evidence which the Mer-
chants Association has gathered to sup
port its charges against Mcdonald and
Onderdonk, the contractors for the new
Jerome Park reservoir. Corporation Coun-
EEL Rives has given an opinion that the
Commissioners can subpoena and swear
witnesses.
Alfred Craven, who was division en-
gineer in the employ Of the Aqueduct Com
mission until 1900. when he resigned and
went to work n an engineer on the Rapid
Transit subway testified yesterday that
the walls Of the reservoir leaked freely in
places.
did Mr. Mcdonald approach you and
suggest that stone dust should he substi-
tuted for sand in the making Of mortarP'
asked Mr.. Dougherty.
Mr.. Mcdonald did make that suggestion
to me once, but told him that II would
not do, and that ended the matter Mr..
Craven replied. He said also that the
earth used for the entertainments had not
been rammed as the specifications called
for and that large stones had been dumped
with the earth.
The inquiry will be continued next
Wednesday.
