of President Marroquin, of Colombia, in
his message to the Colombian Congress
in regard to the ratification of the Pana-
ma Canal Treaty. 1t is hardly as vigor-
OTIS as was expected, but it has not dis
couraged the friends of the treaty by
any means.
At the last Cabinet meeting Secretary
Hay stated that he considered the pros
poets for ratification increasing daily,
and the President went to Oyster Bay
feeling that before long Colombia would
act favorably on the agreement.
Charge d'Affaires Rerron. of the Col
ombian Legation, feels confident that,
despite the election Of Senor Valez as
president of the Colombian Senate. who
is represented as anticanal. the treaty is
growing in favor in the Congress. He
believes that Senior Nalez has been mis-
represented as to his opposition to the
treaty and that he favors the construc-
tion OF the canal by the United States,
but is not satisfied with every feature of
the treaty.
1t has also been learned in Washing
ton that opposition to the canal and its
ownership by the United States have
greatly misrepresented the terms OF the
treaty, leading the credulous Colombia
public to believe that Colombia was ced-
ing territory to the United States and
giving away its life for a mere bagatelle
Now that the actual terms of the treaty
are becoming known, decided change
is coming over the people and a favor
able sentiment is spreading among the
people. which will undoubtedly have 4
good effect on the Colombian Congress.
The officials here know full we'll that
the South American people act slowly,
and are contenting themselves by believ-
ing that change is in progress in Col
bomia, and that in due time the treaty
will be ratified.

Peter Calls Officers Falcons of the
Servian People.

Belgrade (By Cable).-King Peter
held reception. Only two foreign dip
lomats, the Russian and the Austrian
ministers, attended. The representatives
of three or four other countries appar-
emily were willing to recognize King
Peter, but not the Servian Cabinet, in
which Colonel Maschin, one of the chief
conspirators, holds portfolio.
The German Emperor has sent King
Peter telegram couched in cordial
terms.
The Austrian Minister resumed off
cial relations with the Servian govern
ment.
The Kings reappointmcnt of the min
istry is regarded as equivalent to a noti~
fication that no punishment will be meted
out to the assassins Of King Alexander
and Queen Draga.
King Peter issued the following gen
eral order:

STEPS IN FRONT OF A TRAIN.
Woman Covers Her Face With Handkerchief
and Meets Swift Death.

New York (SpeciaD.-A woman in
black stepped deliberately in front OF a
train a mile south OF the White Plains
Station. 1t threw her 80 feet into the
air and 20 feet west OF the tracks. She
iell into the Bronx river, and the train
men waded in and drew her body on
shore. Both arms, both legs and her
back were broken, and there were
three cuts on her face.
The body was viewed by many pco-
pie in an undertaker's shop, but none
could identity it.
Engineer Cavanaugh says he saw the
woman walking toward him on the
south track, and that when he was
within so feet of her she stepped over
to the northbound track, placed white
handkerchief over her face and stood
STILL with both hands over her face.
The engineer shut off the steam and
blew the whistle, then he turned his
head and it was all over.
The woman wore black silk waist
and skirt black stockings and black
high-heeled shoes. She was about 45
OF dark complexion, and had black
hair. Her height was 5 feet 7 inches,
weight about I7o and she wore a soap
ular.
A gold watch, on one side OF which
was the monogram M. A. H. and on
the other side crescent OF six da-
monds, was found inside her waist at
tackled to gold chain around her neck.
There was no mark on her clothes by
which she could be identified.

President VIII Send Petition.

The President has decided to trans
NIT the Russian government the petit
tion presented to him by the executive
council of the B'nai Birth regarding
the treatment OF Jews in Russia.
This action was taken after mature
consideration. At first it was decided
that the petition should not be pre-
sented, because it might be resented by
the government OF Russia and lead to
a response that would cause break in
the relations OF the two countries.
However, the first conclusion has been
rcconsidered, and by direction OF the
President the petition will now go for
ward. What the result will be is prob
lcnatical
AS indicated in the following note
from Secretary Hay to Simon Wolf,
the presentation will probably be made
to the Russian government through the
United States charge at St. Petersburg

cluded to transmit to the Russian gov

this month. The matter which he had
to consider most seriously was whether
or not such a proceeding would be to
the advantage OF your prosecuted and
outraged coreligionists in Russia On
this point he has decided to accept
your opinion and that OF the numerous
and intelligent groups OF American citi-
zens OF the Jewish faith whom you rep
resent. He requests that you will send
him the petition in due form at your
earliest convenience OF course, you
will understand that the President can
not tell you what reception your petit
ton will meet with at the hands OF the
Russian government"

Not Ready TO Open Ports.

The negotiations with China for a
trade treaty have reached a critical
phase growing out OF the demand Of
the United States and Japan for the
opening OF additional ports in Man
churia.
The Russian Government has pro-
iessed to entertain no opposition to
this demand, but the Chinese commits
sioners now take the ground that the
ports mentioned in the demands
Moukden, Taku-Shan and Harbin---
will be opened to foreign trade not
now, but in the future, when trade ne
cessities seem to require it. Therefore
they propose to hold the matter in
allegiance and conclude the trade con-
vention without this section.
The United States refuses to accept
the suggestion, Japan takes the same
position and English influence leans in
that direction. The negotiations are
deadlocked, pending the contrivance OF
means by the three powers named to
bring pressure to bear upon China.

have attempted to interfere with the

The contest is now getting to be one
OF endurance and it is merely a ques-
ton of how long it will be necessary
to keep the troops here to maintain
order. The effect of the strike on busi-
ness is to practically paralyze it and
some merchants have been compelled
to reduce their forces. Broad street
in the shopping district was deserted.
All over the city and in every line OF
business the dcadening effects OF the
strike are being felt.
Officials OF the company are still firm
in their determination not to re-employ
any members OF the union except as
individuals and no compromise will
be entertained. Now, as at first. they
are determined to fight to the finish at
whatever cost.
There has been no further step taken
by the merchants who were contemplat-
ing holding a mass meeting to organ
ize to prevent a boycott. Strike picket
ers are still taking the names OF those
who ride on the cars and their lists
grow every day, for more people arc
riding. Anonymous letters have been
sent to some persons, threatening a
boycott should they not discontinue
riding on the cars during the strike.
Not the least disorder attended the
operation OF street cars in Richmond

sued an order that all saloons close at
