SENATOR HANNA's CONDITION.
Attending Physician Expects to Have
Him Up and Around in a Few Days.

Senator Hanna is in no dangerous con-
dition of health replied Mr.. Dover, secre-
tary of the senator. at the Arlington to an
inquiry by The Stars reporter today.
The telephone bell has kept up lively
jirgle today making inquiries as to MT.
Hanna's health.
The fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Prentiss Bald
win of Cleveland, the latter sister of Mr..
Hanna. have been in the city stopping over
or their way to Townsville, Ga, mas
given rise to rumors that the senator Is
seriously i'll.
The fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Baldwin will
leave tonight for Townsville should be re-
assuring to the senator's friends. Dr.
Rixey is giving his patient the best of care
and by keeping the sick mans door guara-
ed against the kindly visitation of his
friends. he hopes to have him up and
around in few days.
The senator is now suffering from slight
relapse from overtaXing his strength Satur-
day evening and Sunday last. On Sunday
he gave audience to about forty persons.
and his phenomenal recuperative powers
were insufficient to meet this draft upon his
strength
DR. Rixey realizes that it is of the utmost
Importance that his patient have absolute
rest and quiet. and he has issued orders
that no one be allowed to see him for the
present Today the order was faithfully
executed and only the nurse and doctor
were admitted to his room at the Arlington.
Senator Hanna has always possessed
marvellous reeuperative powers, which, to-
gether with his active mind, makes 1t al
most impossible for him to eschew the
pleasure he always manifests in meeting
people and discussing public affairs.
His daughter. Mrs. Mccormick. Is here

band on a business trip. Mr.. Mccormick

Signs of Rough Weather.

NEW YORK. February 2.-After long
and stormy passage the steamer La Cham
payne arrived in port today from HaVrs
incased in ice. which thicky covered Sides
decks, rails and rigging. From January
q to January 81 gales with rough seas

Conditions in Colombia
He said that the civil war now going on
in Colombia is but a reaction from the rev.
olution which had been in progress for the
past three years. and for the purpose OK
supporting this statement he entered into
a review of governmental conditions In Co
lombia, saying that its rulers are men VINO
find in warfare their most prontaoie anu
congenial calling.
These men are for the canal. he said,
simply because they see prospect or get,
ting ten millions Of dollars out OF II, anu
not because they care anything about the
United States, or even about the WelIare
Of their own country. So turbulent were
the people that for thirty years there mao
not been two years of peace. The peopie
In Colombia were worse OF than were the
people Of that region when found 4Oo years
ago by Cortez.
Mr.. Clark found in the treaty Of 1916 jus,
LITIGATION for the attitude of the Unlteo
States. All these things go to prove that
Colombia did not have unlimited sover-
eighty in the sense that England. Germany
or France has. and he contended that II
that country itself could not build the ca
nal, 1t was bound, because OF the ATTITUDE
of the United States toward 1t. to permit
this country to build 1t. He then declared
that as the republic Is an accomplished ract
It would be IAN act Of foolhardinesS lot the
United States to refuse to deal with 1t.
Our acts Of friendly supervision should,
he said have convinced Colombia or the
determination Of the United States to do
right under all circumstances, and the CO.
lombian people should also have known
that they were asking too much when they
accepted our protection under the Monroe
doctrine for eighty years. and then de-
manded the right to be treated as an equal
power with the United States.
But instead Of maintaining friendly att1-
tude, the government Of Colombia had be-
gun a course of double-dealing and bad
faith even before the Colombian congress
had begun its consideration Of the Hay
Herran treaty. and this position had, he as
serted, been continued to the time Of the
Panama secession

all national banks, and In this District over
trust companies as WELL II Is pointed out
that the officials of the banking department
of the state triumphed over the wreckers
of building loan banking company. The
unsafe nature of the operations OF this con-
Germ were perceived by the state bank off,
Gals IT is stated. at a time when neither
the courts nor public opinion realized what
was being done In the management of this
concern.
In another direction. when a trust COM
pany was threatened with insolvency due
to unauthorized loans for a great sum upon
the securities of an industrial concern. the
department managed to recover large
amount and preserved the Institution from
insolvency by cutting its capital in two and
warding of a loss Of upward Of a million.
These and similar results In safeguarding
the money OF the people placed in institu-
tons that have no other official supervision
are attributed to tho watchful care which
the law enables the department of banking
to exercise over such institutions.
