REJECT CANAL TREATY.
Columbian Congress Certain to OBJ
iect.

ject.
News has been published that the
new Colombian congress is almost GER
Those on the inside are not surprised,
for evidence has been forthcoming
which goes to show that the old French
Panama Canal company and certain
people in Colombia have entered into
conspiracy to get $20,000,000 more
out of the United States. With this
end in view they have aroused hostil-
ity against those Colombian officials
who signed the treaty, and compelled
several of them to resign, and seem to
have succeeded in electing a congress
that will reject the treaty if larger
payment is not made.
The rejection of the treaty may
prove a disappointment, but it should
not be allowed to take the form of in
timidation. This country has already
made a handsome offer. The agree
ment to pay the Frenchmen $40,000,0OO
for works that are of doubtful value
and to pay the Colombians $3.50, 00C
year for what will actually be ben
eft to their country, is in itself an
enormous outlay, and would never
have received the support of congress
had it not been for the overwhelming
popular demand for immediate con
struction of the canal.
To submit to farther extortion is out
of the question. 1t is not absolutely
necessary to acquire the rights by way
of Panama, a route which many emf
nent engineers still hold to be unde
sirable. By the terms of the Spoonel
act, unless the administration succeed:
in negotiating satisfactory treaty
with Colombia and within a ''reasona
BILE time" the president is authorized
to drop the Panama route and dig tn,
Nicaragua canal. If the Colombian
are determined to get gay" it will b.
easy for the executive to exercise tn,
power and discretion that has beef

to CARR. Case, Higher

There was a rumor current about town
yesterday to the effect that the six COM
panies of electrical contractors at whose
instance Judge Gray issued his now IA
nous injunction had become alarmed at
the decision Of the Building and Trades
council to carry the injunction to the
supreme court of the state and had form
ed an organization similar in character
to the organization of employers at
Omaha. Among the leaders of organized
labor here the opinion is very general
that a meeting of Contractors was, held
last Saturday evening at Century hall.
Indeed, one. man. has. been found who
claims to have seen circular which was
issued by the contractors announcing the
purpose of the meeting and calling for
concerted action. on the part of all cleo
trical contractors
When the representatives of the six
electrical companies were approached
yesterday on the subject of this meeting
they all asserted that there had not been
any such meeting and that there was no
organization of this kind. Most of them
were frank to say that, although they
were greatly interested to know how the
supreme court would decide the matter,
they considered that their interest was
now no greater than that of any other
employer of labor.

method of transacting business.
That a widespread demand exists on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for or

when applications were received from
points in Oregon. California and Brit

sent through these sections to gather
