Washington, Aug. lS.-A cablegram
dated Aug u has been received at
the state department from Minister
Beaupre at Bogota, saying that the
Panama canal treaty has been reject
ed unanimously by the Colombian SEN
ate
The reason given for the rejection
of the treaty by the Colombian senate,
IL is said here, was the alleged en-.
croachment on Colombian sovereignty,
which, its opponents contended. would
result from the treaty. In its present
form, the treaty was absolutely unac-
ceptable TO the senate for the reason
above stated and that it had been re.
1ected unanimously. This view taken
by the senate was at variance TO that
held by the government Of Colombia
which felt satisfied when IL submitted
the treaty to congress that there
would be no impairment OF Colombian
sovereignty If the treaty should be rat.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

Col w. T. Perkins, chairman of the general com mttee, having in charge the reception and entertain ment of the senatorial committee which is soon to visit Nome, made a sensible statement the other evening when he said that the most important duty before the people of this section was to impress upon the honorable senators the present importance and the great future in store for Northwestern Alaska. Our wants needs and requirements" he held, are subordinate to the prime statement. The words are wise. If enabled to impress upon the visitors the present importance and the future great possi- bilities of this section shall have accomplished work which will speedily pave the way for the redress Iof the many grievances under which we confessedly labor. We have great country in Northwestern Alaska. It is by far, think, the greatest mineral region of North America, and it has before it bril- liant future It is land of promise, whose history as wealth producer is just beginning. We therefore can do no better than show the visiting senators what we have, and impress them with the faith that is within us. Every man, perhaps, who has lived in Alaska for any considerable length of time has a 'tale of woe," real or magnary 10 tell. To such an one we would say, unless invited by the visitors to unfold it, "teli it to the policemen" We want to show the senators that comprise real live, Amer ican community that we believe in the country and
 its possibilities and that are not afraid to assign a reason for the faith within us''

If he could have "n several instances committed men for contempt of court" he should have the mental and moral courage to have faced the situation and dis charged plain duty. It does rot look seemly, to say the least, that he should have waited until he reached Seattle in order to even give expressions to such thoughts.
 Judge Moore also states, referring to his "trou- bles," in Nome: If 1 had the same situation to deal with again should not only do as did before, but I should take even more rigorous action" Judge Moore evidently does not believe in the old Latin maxim: "Experientia docct stultos."

"A woman's page on metro politan paper says:
 Don't polish nails without first rubbing on little rose-tinted paste.
 Don't cut nails without first holding them in warm water or sweet oil.
 The poor farmer who is putting an addition on his barn can hardly be expected to rub a little rose- tinted paste into every keg of wire nails before using. The idea is preposterous. And as for holding them in warm water or sweet oil nonsense. He will continue tc hold a few of them in his mouth before driving.

A REDOUBTABLE ACT.

The reason that Councilman Stevens abruptly broke quorum of the council when an ordinance was being considered confirming a franchise pre- viously granted the Nome-Ar railroad company, will be evident to all those who know that individu- al's peculiar way of doing business The Nome- Arctic railroad company had not that august but utterly irresponsible city councilman in proper manner. The modesty with which Editor" Stevens tells of Councilman" Stevens action is to be com- mended. The "astoot" councilman had not the courage to oppose the ordinance in manly fashion, therefore he resored to the tactics pursued by all towards, and quietly sneaked away.
 Whether the application of the railroad company for an amended franchise is just not do not know since it has not been published but at any rate the matter is of enough import ance fo enttle it 10 full and fair discussion The railroad has already entered the town, and we do not know that anyone has been injured while very many people have been materially benefited.
