CHANCES STRONG FOR
DEEPER WATER PLAN
Congressman Lester and Others Are
Expecting Success.
By r. NJ. Larner.

Washington, Nov. 1S-There seems
no reason to doubt that Savannah will
secure an appropriation from Con-
gress for deeper water, as the opposi-
ton imputed to the President to the
passage of a river and harbor bill of
any kind does not seem strong enough
to defeat the measure. Congressman
Lester is sanguine, and talks with
other members of the committee, both
Republican and Democratic indicate
that Savannah's claims to considera-
ton, which have been strongly pre-
scented, will be received with favor
when the committee begins it's work.
There is no likelihood that anything
will be done at the present session of
Congress, but when it reconvenes aft
err the holidays active work will begin
Representative Davidson of Wisconsin,
one of the most influential of the ma
jority members of the committee, in
dictated in an interview to-day that he
favored a liberal appropriation to give
Savannah a deeper and wider chan
mel to the sea. Other members of the
committee expressed similar views.

CRITICAL AT BoGOTo.
Colombia Does Not Feel Friendly
Toward the United States.


Washington, Nov. 1S-It is learned
to-day that the situation at Bogota
has assumed a critical phase as far
as the relations between the United
States and Colombia are concerned.
Minister Beaupre, on the 18th in
slant, was pressed very strongly by the
Colombian government to know wheth-
er the United States intended to rec
ognfze the new republic of Panama
1t is understood that the request was
in such shape as to constitute a men
ace in the event that the recognition
had been extended.
Mr.. Beaupre was instructed by this
government to again inform the Co
lombian government that such recog-
milton had been extended to the new
republic of Panama by the United
States, but simply in the interest of
humanity and civilization, and in ex-
ecution of solemn treaty obligations
binding upon the United States. He
also was instructed to tender to the
Colombian government the good offices
OF the United States to effect a set
tlement of the difficulties between CO.
lombia and Panama. The issue is
awaited with some anxiety here.
AS an earnest of the desire of the
State Department to continue on friend
ly terms with the Colombian govern
ment it is pointed out that without
bringing. direct pressure to bear the
department is disposed to do every
thing in its power to save any equities
Colombia may have in the isthmus.
Thus it is recognized as entirely proper
that some part of the $40, 100000 which
the United States government is to
pay over to Panama upon the rati-
catlon OF the treaty should be allot-
ted by the government of Panama to
Colombia in payment of Panama's
share of the Colombian national debt.

Omaha, Neb. Nov. 1S.-The center
of interest in the indictment cases of
United States Senator Charles H.
Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher,
of Hastings, Neb., alternated to-day
between Omaha and Washington
Developments at both points We're
equally interesting, and correspondence
made public by the Department of
Justice in Washington and by District
Attorney w. S. Summers in Omaha
threw considerable new light on the
whole affair.
District Attorney Summers expressed
the belief that the matter had been
considerably cleared up, so far as his
office was concerned, and relieved him
of charges made that he was prompted
by malice" in bringing the matter to
the attention of the grand jury
Postoffice matters win be again TAX
en- up by the grand jury to-mor-
row. The postoff1ces at Alma, oxford,
Orleans and Arapahoe are to be in
vestigated.
Mr.. Summers gave out his reply to
the Attorney Generals. letter. In it
Summers says he acted as he did be-
lieving that Mr.. Knox would prefer to
have the Postoffice Department con-
duct the investigation.
The bill of indictment against Post
master Fisher charges that Fisher paid
Dietrich $500 for procuring him the
office of postmaster; that Dietrich
agreed to buy certain postoffice fix
lures for $500, which sum Fisher re-
imbursed; that Fisher agreed to pay
Dietrich $1,000 for procuring this Of
flee, and that Fisher agreed to give
property to the value of $500 to Diet
rich.

DEMOCRATS ON THE
SENATE COMMITTEES.
ton in the Appointments.
BY Z. NJ. Larner.


Washington, Nov. 1S.-It is settled
that Senator Clay is to go on the Com
mttee on Public Buildings. Senator
Bacon's efforts as a member of the
Democratic Steering Committee to
bring about this important assignment
have been successful. This will give
Georgia a place upon this important
committee and will undoubtedly mean
a fair share when it comes to the dis
tribution of appropriations for new
buildings.
No change has been made in the
places which the Georgia senators
have had. Senator Bacon remains on
foreign relations, and judiciary and
rules, the latter of great power in
shaping the business of the Senate and
retaining the Craftsmanship of the Sc
lect committee on woman's suffrage.
Senator Clay will remain on the i'm
portant business committees on which
he has served, the commerce and the
postofiice, and as stated will also go
upon public buildings. Between
them, Georgia will then have represen-
tation on practically all the big COM
mittees of the Senate.
1t has also been decided that Senator
Taliaferro of Florida, is to be one of
the members of the Inter-oceanic Ca
nal Committee, which is of special i'm
portance in his state where the canal
project is a vital issue. This will be
most important committee during
the next ten years. Senator Taliafer-
70 will also be placed upon the Inter
state Commerce Committee, retaining
the more important committee as
signments he had in the last Congress.
The committee has completed
its plans for filing Demo-
cratic vacancies on standing commit
tees, and tomorrow will make a re-
port to Senator Hale. chairman of the
Republican Committee on Committees.
In arranging the assignments it has
been necessary to make a number OF
trades affecting committees, on which
there were no vacancies. An agree
ment had been reached whereby Sena-
tor Teller was to retire from the FL
nance Committee and accept an ap-
pointment to the judiciary Committee,
but this was upset by two conferences
held to-day. Important assignments

Charleston, Nov. 18.-After an in
vestigation into the affairs of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank Of
Camden, S. c., last night, the trou-
BILE, as was suspected pointed to in
judicious loans. The directors and ex-
pert accountants were at work nearly
all night.
A meeting was held this morning,
when a statement was signed by each
director. 1t declared that being call
ed into special session on account of
the sudden decease of the president
and cashier" and, having, with the
aid of experts, examined all of the
available records, books, papers and
accounts found in the bank vault the
result of which satisfies the board that
the assets, and securities of the bank
are sufficient eventually to meet all
it's legal obligations, and to pay all
depositors, and other creditors, but in
view of the serious interruptions caus-
ed to it's business by the calamity,
which has occurred, and the lack at
this time of an available person will
ing to assume the duties of president,
and in the further condition, which
exists that some time will be neces-
sary to convert the assets into cash,
the board determines for the best in
terests of all the creditors, under the
circumstances to make an assignment
of all the property, securities and
credits of the bank to E. S. Vaux and
A. d. Kennedy"
A deed of assignment was duly exc
cuted, and the assignees have as
sumed charge of the banks affairs.

DlETRICH'S POSITION
MADE HIM HESITATE.
Attorney General Censured Summers
Because of That.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Correspond-
ence that passed between United
States District Attorney Summers at
Omaha and Attorney General Knox in
June last in the matter of the charges
against Postmaster Fisher of Hastings
and United States Senator Dietrich of
Nebraska and the investigation of the
same by the grand jury, was made
public to-day. The letter of Mr.. Sum-
mers to the Attorney General trans
mits the testimony involving Dietrich
and Fisher, and says;
The grand jurors insist upon MAX
ing a thorough and searching investi-
cation. This investigation was discon-
tinued at my request because of the
fact that the conduct of a United
States senator was involved in the
question they desired to investigate,
At the same time l stated to the grand
jury that the inVes legation will be
made by another grand jury if it be
disclosed subsequently THAT the ends of
justice demand it,"
To this the Attorney General replied,
saying Summers "sho1ld not have re-
quested a discontinua4ce of the inves-
LEGATION because of the fact that the
conduct of a United StR ties senator was
involved in the question if the grand
jury desired to investigate. From the
copy of the proceedings before the
grand jury it appears that at the time
the testimony closed a most extra
ordinary and discriminating story had
been told by the witness, Hahn, in
which Senator Dietrich was criminally
involved. Fairness to the person thus
incriminated, as well as other consid-
erations of duty, should have caused
you to refrain from interfering with
the desire of the jury to probe the
matter to the bottom.
Upon the whole your action in the
matter, the end accomplished and the
means employed We're astonishing, un-
warranted and highly improper"

BY r. M. Larner.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Bids for the
Marine Hospital at Savannah will be
advertised for within sixty days, and
work on the structure should be begun
within thirty days after the contract
is awarded. This statement was made
to-day by Supervising Architect John
Knox Taylor.
The surgeon general Of the Marine
Hospital Service has manifested some
unwillingness to proceed with the
work" said Mr.. Taylor, because Of
his opinion that the lot upon which
the buildings are to be erected is not
large enough for all purposes. There
must be several buildings and to place
them properly more space is needed.
While land might be bought contin-
guous to the governments holdings,
at a price fairly reasonable, all the
money now available is needed for the
buildings. The main hospital building
and the surgeons house, the two build
ings first to be constructed, will easily
consume the appropriation of $150,000.
There is no money available for the
other buildings that must be erected
to meet demands, and certainly none
for the purchase of more land.
Gen. Wyman, Notwithstanding these
considerations, has withdrawn his OPP
position and working plans and speci-
fications for bids are now in course
of preparation. AS soon as a bid is
accepted the contractor will be in
structed to proceed with the work as
rapidly as possible. This should mean
that work will be begun within ninety
days"
