New Hope for Panama Canal.

Washington, Aug. 20.--UnofHciai ad-
vices have been received by DR.. Herran,
the Colombian charge de'affaires here,
indicating an intention on the part OF
the Colombian senate TO resume con-
sideration of the subject of a Panama
canal treaty in place of the one disap-
proved by that body ON the 18th inst.
This leads DR.. Herran to hope that
measure yet will be passed by con-
gress which will form the basis for this
ratification of treaty between Colom-
bia and the United States for the con.
struction of the isthmian canal.
DR.. Herran's information is that on
the 18th inst, the day after the dis
approval of the treaty by the senate.
that body voted to appoint COMMITTEES
of three members to act Jointly with u
committee from the house of represen-
tatives in the formation of law for
the ratification of treaty between the
two countries by the executive of Col
ombia after the two houses of the Col-
ombian congress had passed an enabl-
ing act outlining the terms and con-
ditions on which a treaty should be
drawn.
The president of Colombia by this act
would have full power in the premises,
and the treaty would not have to be
afterwards submitted to the Colombian
congress.
The idea contained in the proposition
is not dissimilar to the Spooner act
itself, as this act gave authority to the
president to begin negotiations with the
governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica in the event that he was unable
to reach satisfactory agreement with
Colombia for right of way for the
Panama canal
The question of sovereignty having
been the predominating one in the Col-
ombian debates the presumption here
is that whatever measure is agreed on
as a basis for treaty would be along
lines that will not offend Colombian
sensitiveness in this regard.
A more careful reading Of the dis
patch which DR.. Herran received early
in the week announcing the action of
the senate on the treaty shows that
what that body really did was to dis
approve" the instrument and not rec
ject" it, as has been herstotore STATED

TO AID GRAND JURY.

Seattle, Feb. 9.-Some OF the most
influential men of Seattle have agreed
among themselves to accept the respon-
sibiity of removing from the grand jury
now in session any restrictions that
may in any way hamper flee and full
investigation of the alleged corruption
said to exist in Seattle in connection
with municipal administration.
During the afternoon committee Of
business men met to perfect plans for
assisting the grand jury in its work.
The assistance will probably take the
form of cash subscriptions TO pay for
the services OF one or more attorneys to
assist Prosecuting Attorney Scott, and
to pay private detectives for securing
evidence and bringing about the arrest
extradition and prosecution of indicted
criminals. Tue committee of business
men will confer with the board Of
county commissioners for the purpose
of ascertaining Just how much money
is available for the needs of the grand
jury. This having been ascertained
the business men interested in this
movement will at once subscribe an
amount of money sufficient for all
needs, and the prosecuting attorney
will be instructed to draw against the
fund so created tor all purposes not COW
cred by such funds as are in the hands
o. the county commissioners.

that Bulgaria is determined to invade

element in Bulgaria is SO strong that
nothing can preavil against it. Prepa-

openly. Four hundred officers in the
Bulgarian army are asking for pro-
longed leave, which will not be refused,
in order to assist the rising in Macedo-
mia. 1t is reiterated that seven bands,
aggregating 5000 men, already have
been formed. The bands will spread
throughout Macedonia under daring
leaders, and it is calculated that they
will soon be reinforced a hundred fold.
The unusually mild weather now pre-
vailing in the Balkans is held to favor
an early outbreak, the only difficulty
being the lack of funds, which it is in
tended to overcome by the forcible levy
of patriotic tax on Macedonia. 1t is
further asserted that if Bulgaria is un-
successful she is assured Of Russian
support.

On January %, the king, on rising,
was seized with acute abdominal pains.
Expert advice secuted the idea that a
return of the malady OF last June was
at all imminent, and the king wishes
to believe that he is as we'll and strong
as ever. Experts know that King Ed
ward will have but short reign. For
ten days the king bravely struggled to
deceive himself into believing that
nothing was the matter. but on the
3lst of January he was advised to keep
to his room. where with two exceptions
he has remained ever since. On the
occasions of both his goings out he
came home much worse. After one of
these occasions additional medical men
were summoned and a consultation was
held, and strict orders were issued that
no communication be given to the press.
On Tuesday his majesty was in a highly
delerious state. On Thursday he was
very weak. Nothing can be fixed for a
certainty as to the future.

count of Unions.
New York, Feb. 9.-After briefly dis
cnssing the antitrust law and the pro-
posed department of commerce., James
j. Hill, president of the Northern Sc
curities company, said:
Gas labor unions killed industi ial
England, SO they are destined to bring
about grave financial reverse in the
United States, and the country is swift
ly approaching that crisis. It may
come in year; it may be deferred UNI
til the presidential year, but it is
bound to come" Mr.. Hill fatty de-
MED, but deprecating!y, that, as the
average person believes, the United
States is the leading manufacturing ma
ton and is rapidly gathering to its bo-
som the markets of the entire world.
This misrepresentation, he averred, is
the result of the fact that over one in
dustrial victory this country sets up a
louder shout than England, Germany or
France makes over dozen.
"There seems to be too much conf
dence in the ability of the country to
forge right ahead of all other countries
in manufacturing, continued Mr.. Hill.
"The country can do it. but not with
out trouble, and not without changing
it's present course
cit is indeed grave crisis We are
approaching, though few eeem to APP
preciate it. A few years may see the
closing OF many factories and the throw
ing out of work of hundreds of thou
sands of men. We have been reaping
the harvest and the reverse is coming.
How quickly We will recover from it
will depend largely on who is at the
head of the country when the break
comes"
