THE REJECTED TREATY CoLOMBLANS AFTER SOME
 THING BRIGHT AND TAN
 ,- GIBLE,
People Who Had the. Pull Contrived That the, Colombian Congress Should Reject the Treaty
 With a View to Pay for
 Use of Their Influence

Panama Special to New York Herald.
 It will surprise many persons to know that in thefopinion of many well.informed men on, the isthmus there was never any possibility that, the canal treaty would be passed by the last session of Congress lin B6gota. The conditions that are al- legged to. have existed were not revealed to the world even through diplomatic channels. There was practically no one in the capitol who saw fit to further the interests oflthe isthmus. It had been cut and dried long in advance that the treaty was. to be rejected. stSs,
 The corrupt ring in Bogota was not satisfied with the idea of handling the lump sum and the yearly payment to be made by the United States to Colombia. The men in power wished money for themselves. and, they. are said to have entered into a formal compact to hold out against the canal project until either they could. compel the French company to surrender its interests or obtain a dis tribution of :boodle' in large lnstallments., So the treaty was beaten, before 1t had been officially considered and the long for the purpose of hoodwinking diplomats and others who had been led, to believe: that the. Colombian Congress would eventually acquiesce By the sudden turn of affairs Colombia was deprived of her most tangible asset and the millions to be paid for the canal privilege will be used for improving the isthmus,i so long neglected under the Bogota rule. @s5
 It is a fact that sno substantial public work seems to have been done in the city of PanainR durings.the eight years that the isthmus was united with the South American republic. In that period the railroad. was built. and g. great boom came with the work done by the French Canal Company, but the government did nothing. 7 %t1ei - :

Al. Instance of Growth.

It is. a pleasure, in this day of great in- dustrial combinations, to note an instance
 where an independent concern has at- tained to mammoth proportions. and has
 grown steadily but surely for years from

 Co.,. of Detroit Mich. -wllieh for nearly
 half century has gone forward each year, constantly adding new. customers and retaining it's old ones, until it is today the source of seed supply from which the great crops of this country spring. Thou sands of farmers, gardeners and flower growers, look to them year after year for the seeds from which the prosperity oi their fields and gardens is to grow. and

A Change to Parker.

Representative Frank E.. Wilson of New York. who Is serving his third consecu- tive term in the House from one of the Brooklyn districts, was until MT. Cleve- lands last letter, an advocate of the for mer Presidents nomination this year by the National Democratic Convention. He now is of the opinion that the most avail able and strongest candidate for the party to take Is Judge Alton P. Parker.
 MT. Wilson, who was one of the guests at the Mcclellan dinner on Monday night, has this to say of the occasion:
 ''n was one of the greatest Democratic reunions that has ever occurred. The en- thusiasn was refreshing and inspiring. AS a Democrat, I was gratified beyond measure to see the spirit of good fellow ship that easily and heartily prevailed, ness to put aside and forget all the bit- terness and factionaI quarrels of the past eight years. It was in reality the big gest sort of party love feast. It was an evidence of cordial reconciliation that could not be mistaken. The speakers were all received with hearty acclaim. Mir. Olney received a great ovation and his praise of Mir. Cleveland was warmly applauGed. The Governor of Virginia and Mr. DeArmond were generously applaud ed. The other speakers, including Mayor Mcclellan, appeared in excellent form and thoroughly imbued with the political happiness of the. occasion"
 But" sai1 MT. Wilson. as though lead- ing LID to d climax in his remarks, "the most hearty and prolonged applause, and by far the most significant, came at tho mention of the name of Judge Parker and followed the reading of the letter from him It was distinctly due to tho high favor entertained for Judge Parhor by this gathering of representative Dem- ocrats. and moro than that to the fact that the Presidential candidacy of such a man is approved by the most distln- guished Democratic leaders of New York and they are willing that everybody should know it.

 both as a laboring man and a capitalist. He referred to certain rules of his busi- ness life which have undoubtedly con- tributed to his great success, and gave me other matter which would be of value to the young men of the United States. This, however. on account of the innate modesty of the senator-extraordinarv in q public man-I am forbidden to use.
 The Friend of Capital and Labor.
 In closing I would call attention to Sem ator Hanna's peculiar position. He is the earnest friend of both capital and labor and is doing what he can to bring the two together. Indeed. he might be called our great national peacemaker and he Is such from the standpoint of his honest convictions. He recently said that he would rather have the credit of ending such troubles than be President of the United States, and that if he could make successful the plans of the federation by resigning his seat in the Senate he would be glad to do so.
 Nevertheless Senator Hanna has more than ten thousand men at work in the various institutions in which he is inter- ested, and their pay roll is said to be about three million dollars a year, or in round numbers ten thousand dollars a day. You will see from this that he has q pocketbook interest in the questions

COMING OF DEMoTTE.
Eminent Scientist to Visit Montgom.

Eminent Scientist to Visit Montgom-
 cry.
 5 Prof. John B. DeMotte, A. M, M. D., Ph. D.. will deliver his famous lecture. -'The, Harp of the Senses.". at the First Baptist Church on Monday evening, Jan- uasy 11th. Prof. DeMotte stands first in the list of popular lecturers today in America and Europe. He has had more engagements during the past two years than any other lecturer. having been booked in all the large Y. M. c. A. and Lyceum courses in this country. Many towns have used all his lectures once and are now taking them the second time. He is not only a most gifted and enter taining speaker, but an investigator and scientist of highly recognized ability. Robt. J. Burdette, the famous humorist, endorses him in the following words: 'I know of no man in America with. his power of popularizing science: no man who can make instruction so pleasant that 1t seems like entertaining, until the nearer suddenly realizes that he knows a hundred fold more than he did an hour ago, and yet is not conscious of having made any effort to acquire knowledge. There should not be a vacant seat in the house on the night of Prof. DeMotte's S lecture. I have followed him in great many lecture courses, and without ex-
 
 enthusiastic in their praises of the man. his charming personality and splendid work.'
 Prof. DeMottes appearance in Mont gomery will be under the auspices of the ladies of the First Baptist Church. In addition to the large membership of this church, the following prominent Mont gomerians are lending their assistance toward making the occasion success:
 Mir. and Mrs. Clifford Lanier, MT. and Mrs. Thomas M. Owen, Mir. and Mrs. w. F. Vandiver. MT. and Mrs J. Walter Black, MT. and Mrs. Hardwick Ruth, Rabbi and Mrs. A. J. Messing, Prof. and Mrs. J. M.
