COLOMBIA UP AGAINST 1T.
Wants the Canal but Also Wants to
Get the Most Possible Out OF Il.


Caracas. Venezuela. Aug. 2i.-The
Z following dispatch has been received
| from B0gOta overland, via Cucuta:
I Before presenting the Panama ca.
| nal treaty 10 the Colombian senate,
President Marroquin said:
MY government is confronted with
this dilemma. either our sovereignty
must suffer detriment or we must re-
nounce certain pecuinary advantages
10 which. in the opinion Of many. we
have right. or we must vigorously
maintain our sovereignty and claim in
peremptOry manner the pecuniary in
dcmnity to which we consider our
selves entitled. In the rirst case by
consenting 10 the diminishing OF our
authority and not aspiring To impOr-
tant indemnity If the canal should De
opened through the Panama isthmus
the just desire of the inhabitants uf
that department and all Colombians,
and who the government would be
satisfied. but the government would
be- exposing itself TO having a charge
brought against il later. that il did
not fully defend our sovereignty, and
that il sacrificed interest OF the ma
tiOn.
"ln the second case should the ca
nal not be opened through Panama,
the government will be reproached
with not having allowed Colombia 10
have obtained that advantage which
is considered the essential condition
OF our aggrandizement. have al
ready expressed my desire that the
inter-oceanic canal be opened through
our territory. | think that even at
the cost OF some sacrifices we ought
not to place obstacles In the way of
so grand an enterprise. both because
il will be a gigantic material improve
ment 10 our country and because once
the canal is opened by the North
Americans we shall strengthen and
widen our relations with them which
will result In immeasurable gain to
our industry. commerce and wealth.
Happily for me. the immense respon-
sibility which must weigh upon him
who decides this question must be as
sumed by congress, whose duty II is
to definitely approve or disapprove Of
the agreement proposed by the North
| American government"
A patriotic demonstration occurred
in Bogota after the disapproval OF the
treaty by the senate.

anu SIPlChi SAGy luetAOuS.
LAST week 1t seemed that Emmons.
county had dead, immortal ,cinch on
the high honor of being represented
in the lower house by the youngest
member Of the legislature-in years ii
not in sin. But now all, all is changed,
and the tears. Of our people mingle
with the murmuring waters of the.
Beaver and the Cattail as they sing q
mournful requiem to,our faded fame.
And this great appointment has
been breughtabout by two iconoclas-
tic house members who allege that
they burst into astartled world some
tive or six years subsequent to the in
nocent infant from the free and inde-
pendent borough of Emmons,. who ac-
knowledges to 33 years-an age before
which most statesmen have laid aside
their diapers and many Americans
have. been prominent congressman,
fleet commanders, or generals of the
Union army. ~
This ppointment isia great blow
to the people Of this county, because,
if there be a mental or physical gift
for which legislator and his constit-
uents should receive exalted credit, it
is in the matter Of age. OF course,
some old fogies will cling to the obso.
lete idea that education, natural. abil-
ity and reputation for honesty
should cut something cf a figure In
considering the qualifications Of a
lawmaker. But that is now generally
accepted as an old fashioned notion
pertaining to the days when brains
rather than Doodle or an abnormal
development Of other things begin.
ming with the same letter were re.
quired Of the men who made the laws.
The Bismarck Tribune also calls
the attention Of a wondering people
to the fact that eighty-two OF the
members Of the legislature are the al
legged sires Of 3l9 boys and girls. But
again, in this particular, Emmons
county tugs at the hind nipple; for,
while some members plead guilty to.
the authorship of eleven olive-branch
editions, the house member from this
county can claim credit for but three
copyrighted volumes.
There seems to be conspiracy of
some sort in Bismarck to keep En-
mons county in the house back
ground or the back house ground, or the
ground back house. or otherwise hide
her light under bushel, so to speak;
for, whenever she makes a claim for her
representative that would give her a
commanding position in the councils
Of the state, up rises somebody some
where and. swats her contention on
the solar plexus or beneath the fifth
rib. @ SIS. 81. 81 .1 5-i

DETROIT CLUB SOLD.

Detroit. Dec 3.-'sThe Detroit ball club has been sold for some weeks said q man who knows. ""The infor- nation has not been given out in def erence to the wishes of one of the new syndicate. who wished his name with held for short time, but upon the re turn of MT Angus from Turtle Lake the names of the new owners will be made public.
 ''The syndicate will be composed of four men. The leading one is W. H. Yawkey and Frank J. Navin is proba- bly one of the others. The name of the third new owner is withheld. MT Angus will retain an interest. although he. will pass up the management of the finances to his new partners.
 .'This is one of the reasons why Ban Johnson has not said anything about Detroit of late. The ownership will be local. and Manager Barrow will have carte blanche to strengthen the team wherever possible. and make De- troit factor in the battle for tlie pen nant.
 '.The late MT Yawkey did have a talk with MT. Angus about the matter. but it had been closed before his death. Will Yawkey is abundantly able to buy it in his own right, as he to-day has in the neighborIood of S500, GOO in the banks apd safety deposit vaults of this city''
