TREATY WITH NEW GRANADA.
Correspondence That Bears on the
Present Situation I'm Panama.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-The Senate in
executive session has made public the cor
respondence submitted by President Polk in
1s47 in relation to the treaty of 1916 between
the United States and New Granada. 1t is
stated that these papers have never been
published. They consist Of protocols be-
tween Benjamin Bidlack, charge of the
United States at Bogota, and Manuel NJ.
Mallerino, secretary Of foreign affairs for
New Granada There is a report by the lat
ter official pointing out the advantage of
the treaty to the United States in view of
the attitude of Great Britain, which, he de-
clares, unveils a preconceived and long
meditated intention of grasping the most
valuable mercantile spots of America, put
ing the competition of the United states
out or the questiL.i and declaring her Will
as law In all matters concerning the con-
sumption OF foreign commodities
In communication to Secretary of State
Buchanan Mr.. Bidlack discusses the controi
OF the isthmus, in which he says that Sec
rotary Mallareno had said that IL New
Granada "ceded to the United States the
right Of way across the isthmuS he pre-
sumed the United States would guarantee
TO New Granada the isthmus, or at least as
much of 1t as was required for the con-
struction of a canal or a railroad upon the
most favorable route"
MIR. Bidack, in transmitting draft of the
treaty TO Secretary Buchanan, had the fol-
lowing to say regarding the transit across
the isthmus: with regard to the right of
transit and free passage over the isthmus,
which appeared to me to be becoming of
more and more Importance every day, l
have only to remark that L have procured
the largest liberty and the very best terms
that could be obtained. L could not obtain
these terms without consenting to guaran-
tee the integrity and neutrality of the ter
ritory, and, in fact it seemed to me, upon
reflection. that in order to preserve the
rights and privileges thus coded, it would
be both the policy, the interest and the duty
of the United States thus to enter into an
obligation to protect them. The guaranty
extends only to the isthmus, and anything
like a general alliance is carefully avoided. -

WINDOW GLASS MAKERS
STATEMENT REGARDING CHANCES
OF ORGANIZING SELLING AGENCY.
Workers Pledge Themselves to Do
All in Their Power to Aid Com.
pany in Its Aims.

BRADFORD, Pa, Nov. 24.-The following
official account of the meeting of window
glass manufacturers here to-day to deter
mine the immediate success or further de-
lay in the formation of the Manufacturers
Window Glass Company is given the Asso-
ciated Press for publication:
A meeting of the window glass manufac-
turers of the Pennsylvania district, COM
monty called the mountain district" was
held here to-day. at which was represented
nearly all the plants in this district. The
expression of all those present who had not
been heretofore identified with the move
ment was that the project had their full
approval, and there is no reason to doubt
that the ultimate success of this move
ment to form a central selling agency"
which will control the window glass out
put of the United States, is assured. Sig
natures to contracts have now reached
sufficient number of pots to guarantee that
with the addition of about ninety pots in
the mountain district the organization
will be complete.
If the necessary signatures for 1900 pots
are secured the new company, which shall
be known as the Manufacturers Window
Glass Company, will not only control the
sale OF the handmade glass of the American
Window Glass Company, but will also con-
trol the sale as Well as the time or operation
of their machine" factories. The practice
of some plants to resume operations earlier
than the majority of the plants and run
ming longer than market conditions war;
rant, thereby causing decentralization both
to manufacturers as well to the workers,
will henceforth be impossible. Should the
necessary pots to complete organization
be signed it is agreed that a general start
will be made twenty-one days after sigma
lures are secured. President Simon Burns
of L. A. 300, and John Philips, jr., of Win
dow Glass Workers Association, were pres
ent and pledged themselves and their organ
iZations that they would contribute every
possible assistance to the successful forma-
ton of the company. And they further
agreed that in the future no wage scales
will be given out nor any set time for start
ing be fixed except as shall be determined

E. F. WARE TO RESIGN
COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS FINDS
DUTIES TOO ARDUOUS.
He Will Resign His ONCE About the
Middle of November Next Year

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-It can be an
nounced that Eugene F. Ware the COM
missioner of pensions, will retire from that
office by about the middle of November
next year and will return Immediately to
the practice of law in Kansas. His con-
templated action is generally understood
among Kansas politicians and has been the
subject of several interviews with the Pres
ident which had been kept secret.
The decision TO resign and to retire to
private life is the result of his long felt
dissatisfaction with the nature Of the duties
lily since the early days of his administra-
ton of that Office. He has steadfastly re-
fused to discuss the matter when asked
about the subject, despite the general I'M
derstanding among those in q position to
know, and when asked tonight about his
plans he declined to admit that he has
or ever had any intention Of rendering his
resignation.
Mr.. Wares acceptance of the Presidents
tender Of the office shortly after the ap-
pointment of his predecessor, H. Clay
Evans, to the post of consul general to
Great Britain, created considerable surprise
at the time. He had law practice that
was one of the largest in Kansas and it
brought him considerably more income than
his salary as commissioner of pensions
He had not been in the office long before
he began to feel the effect of the large
the head of the office and as time wore on
the demands that this work made on his
time and strength and the constant friction
that has been incidental to the Office under
every administration led to his distaste
for the office.
Mr.. Ware has insisted on the expedition
of the work of his bureau. and improve
ment Of the standard Of service performed
by the personnel of his bureau, and it is
said to be probable that the work of the
office will be brought up to date by the
1st of July, beginning of the fiscal year.
Despite the secrecy with which the pro-
posed change in the head of the Pension
Bureau has been guarded. number of
candidates have already developed Ex-

on Mr. Wares successor though 1t is pre-
sumed that war service will be recognized
in his choice. Mr.. Wares plans have be-
come known to a number of officials in
this city, and they have been expecting
announcement of the resignation at any
time.

prominent politician here. who is close TO

the affairs OF the administration, to-day
characterizes the action OF the United
States on the isthmus of Panama as most
unjustihable. He added:
'Colombians hope that the reasonable and
fair-minded people Of the United States
will bring such pressure to bear on the
government at Washington that the result
will be the saving of the isthmus to Colon

questioned rights there. All Colombians
protest. as would the people of other ma
tions, against this aggression of the United
States. Colombia Is confident that justice
will be done her, and all Colombians are
unanimously resolved to sustain and de-
fend the national integrity. even at any
sacrifice. The Bogota government is re-
ceiving the support Of all political parties,
and there are daily made generous dona-
tons of gold and jewels TO meet such ex-
penses as may become necessary.

has unanimously offered the government Its
services and property, while the German
and English colonies have manifested ex-
treme sympathy with Colombia's cause.
