THE PANAMA
CANAL TREATY.
RACE QUESTION IN MARYLAND.
Democratic Convention OF That State
Has Set a Pace Which Other States
May FOIlow--Coniederate Records and
Data Being Collected Up.

Washington, d. C.-The time lin
ltation for the ratification Of the Hay
Herran Panama canal treaty has ex-
PRED and Is incumbent upon the
administration to say whether or not
the reasonable time" agreed to by
the United States senate has elapsed.
Five months we're given for the Col
ombian Congress TO consider the treaty
and for an exchange Of Publications.
Neither government has yet requested
any extension OF time. and presuma-
bly no extension will be given. Had
the time OF the Colombian Congress
been consumed by deb4tes or hlibus-
tering tactics, there might be some
logical grounds for extension, but IN
asmuch as the matter was settled
weeks ago, so far as the original treaty
was concerned, new period would be
usefuI to the Colombians only to con-
tinue trying to squeeze ten millions
ont OF the Panama Canal Company.
The Colombian Charge d'Afaires, DR..
Herran, realizes the gravity OF the
situation, but says he has not had any
instructions to request an extension Of
the time for ratification, nor has the
American government intimated, 60
far as known, that it is anxious 70
grant il. In some quarters the sug-
oestion Is made that a real stumbling
block to the ratification Of the treaty
might be removed IL the new Panama
Canal Company would consent to the
payment to Colombia Of a stipulated
portion Of the $40, ,OO), 600 which it i
to receive from the American Govern
ment for its rights, franchises and
property along the route Of the pro
posed canal. According to the bill re-
ported to tho Colomb bian Senate, that
government wants $lO.O 600 Of this
money, but it is believed by some per
sons familiar with South American af
fairs that q compromise might b
reached whereby half that amount
would bo accepted by Colombia. The
latter governbent thinks she is enti
tied to some portion Of the money. i
is also suggested that Colombia NIGH
be willing to forego iusistence on som'
Of the other important amendment
which have been proposed, II she wer'
compensated by the Panama Cana
Company.
