SEATTLE, Wash, May A.-Sunday was

observes the Sabbath as he sees Mt the cit
liens Of Seattle gave him full range to fol-
low his own inclinations. and Secretary
Loeb said the President appreciated this
Difference more than any public attention.
Saturday was one of the hardest days that
the President has had since he started on
his tour. He visited the navy yard at Brem-
erton, Seattle, Everett, and returned to
Seattle again in the evening. During the
day he made five addresses. Naturally the
strain told on him, but when he arose this
morning and appeared before the people at
IL O'Clock he looked as though he were
ready for another day of activity.
During the morning President Roosevelt
attended the memorial services of the G.
A. r. at the Grand Opera House The
Rev. j. M. Wilson preached the sermon,
which struck popular chord In which the
President was highly interested There was
large gathering at the service, and all
paid their respects to the President.
In the afternoon President Roosevelt and
members of his party took horseback
ride to Fort Lawton, where they spent a
short time looking over the grounds. There
was nothing official in the visit. and he
greeted the soldiers, mingling with them
informally for a few minutes.
The headquarters of President Roosevelt
In Seattle have been at the Hotel WASH
ington. All of the arrangements were of a
most exclusive character and not a single
detail was overlooked. The National Guard
has been on duty at the hotel during all
of the watches CT the day and night. Large
crowds have been in front OF the hotel all
day long waiting patiently to catch a
glimpse of the President, but he remained
indoors as much as possible.
During the Presidents entire stay in Seat
tie weather has been exceptionally fine
and clear The party will leave Seattle
over the Northern Pacific on the return TO
the East Monday morning at o'clock.
Stops will be made at various points in
Washington during the day.

No one here anticipates any trouble dur

The press of the State takes a pessimistic
view of the results to be accomplished at

will restrain Jackson people from testify

fled and of over thirty others which have
occurred during the last eighteen months,
for which there have been no convictions.

BIG FIvE-MILE EvENN
Two Fort Wayne Men Enter the Han

c. G.. Fisher, who is promoting the big
automobile races to be given at the State
Fair grounds track next Saturday after
noon, has decided to make the five-mile
open event for machines of 1900 pounds
or over a handicap race in order to give
the drivers a more equal chance. Tom
Cooper. of Detroit, who is to drive a five
mile match with George Widely, told
Fisher that he was going to enter the open
event and it was at once thought best to
make it a handicap race and place Cooper
and his big eighty horsepower racing ma
chine at scratch. George Widely will also
enter this event with his new Premier rae
ing machine.
Peltier and Davis. Fort Wayne chauf-
feurs, have entered the handicap and they
will be given probably three minutes handi-
cap. Elmer M. Appersop. the veteran driv-
er OF Kokomo. will drive Fred Dickson s
$500 Apperson machine. He will probably
receive about two minutes handi-
cap. Charles Sommers. of Indianapolis, will
probably be given two minutes. A A.
Barnes's new car will be driven in this
event.
Tom Cooper will have to drive on the
outside of the track and do each mile in

some gold trophy.
The official handicars will be arranged by
a committee composed of II. o. Smith,
Thomas Hay and c. G.. Fisher.

order in the town and about the courthouse

ATTITUDE OF COLOMBIA
IT Is BEING EARNESTLY DISCUSSED
by WASHINGTON OFFICIALS.
Effect of Ministerial Crisis on the
other Phases Considered.
COS Stevenson Building

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Whether the
ministerial crisis in Colombia. as reported
by United States Minister Beaupre. will
have any important bearing on the ratifica-
tion OF the Isthmian canal treaty is not
known here. Fernandez, the minister Of
government (more specifically known locally
as the minister of the interior), who re-
signed. was virtually premier. The Office
filed by him corresponds in many respects
to that OF secretary of state of the United
States. Statements have been made TO the
declaration OF peace i'm Colombia, holding
that il was still under martial law. If Co.
lombia were under martial law her Presi-
dent could exercise the dictatorial powers
vested in him by the Constitution, and if
he chose ratify the canal treaty by his own
act without submitting it to the considera-
ton OF Congress, whose position on the sub
ject Is still doubtful The opinion here.
however is that President Marroquin would
not consent 10 any such arrangement. Fer
nandez was said to be an advocate of the
ratification OF the canal treaty.
General Pinto. the newly appointed min
lister OF government Cor interiOT). is as
stated In Minister Beaupre's dispatch, the
Governor OF the province OF Cauca, which
province borders on the Pacific ocean. and
more than any other portion Of Colombia
would profit materially by the construction
OF the waterway. General Pinto is said to
favor the construction OF the canal
Such unofficial and incomplete Informal
ton as reaches Washington shows contin-
ued opposition on the part of many inhuen-
tial CoonibianS TO the canal treaty, but
whether this will be sufficient TO defeat rat
ification cannot be stated at this time.

Two Men Dead at Pittsburg-Panic in
an Electric Car.

PITTSBURG, May PA terrific thunder
storm, accompanied by high wind, struck
this vicinity this afternoon and, besides
killing two men, did considerable property
damage.
Milton w. Robinson. "a resident of West
Pittsburg, drove to Schenley Park with a
party of friends for an afternoons enjoy
ment When the storm came UP Robinson
sought shelter from the drenching rain
under a big ash tree in Panther hollow.
He had been there but a moment when
lightning struck the tree, literally tearing
ii to pieces and killing Robinson instantly.
Robnsons four or five friends, who were
within twenty-five feet of him, escaped
without even shock from the bolt.
John Wilson ran for shelter TO stable
about three hundred yards distant from
where Robinson was killed. The stable was
partly destroyed. Later wilson's dead
body was discovered.
At Braddock lightning struck a street
car on the McKeesport branch of the Pitts
burg Railway Company and caused a panic
among the passengers, many of the men
jumping from the car as ii sped down the
hill. Three of them were pretty badly
bruised, and Christopher OToole. who fell
on his head, is perhaps fatally hurt. The
women passengers tried to jump also. but
were prevented by some of the cooler-head-
ed among the men.
Much damage was done to shade trees,
many being blown down and several were
split in twain by lightning. The rainstorm
was followed by a hailstorm.
