Panama, Jan. 29-News has reached here from
Bogota that, insomuch as Generals Reyes and
CavaIero have assured Colombia that the
United States will object only to her landing
forces in the canal zone, the Colombian gov
eminent intends TO organize and send an
petition against Panama.
The only explanation of this news from Bo-
sofa is that the government Of Colombia is COM
PEELED to take some steps to prevent its down
fail. This is said to be imminent, President
MarroqUin has lost all the prestige he ever had.
There is much speculation IN Bogota to the
outcome Of this move should it be put through.
Colombian newspapers are complaining that it
cost more than S150O0000 in paper money "a
Colombian dollar is worth about 40 of an
American cent? to move the troops Colombia has
to-day at Titumati. on the Gulf of Darien, from
Cartagena to that point. These men are esti-
mated at from 1900 to 1000 and at one time

PLEA FOR CONGRESS OF POWERS
"The Statists" Plan for a Solution of Far
Eastern Questions.

London. Jan. 3O.-"The statist' to-day, in
long article on the Russo-Japanese situation,
makes a striking suggestion for the solution of
the difficulty, which seems to meet the claims
and contentious OF both Russia and Japan
After commenting on the advantages of the
Chino-American treaty, which, il says if car
ried out. would assure an open door in Man
churia for the rest of the world THE Statist'
says:
When Russia Mt the gates of Constanti-
nople, and practically had dictated peace to
Turkey, Great Britain interfered, and the result
was the Berlin Congress. Is there any good
reason why the world should wait for the con-
clusOn of to summon a similar council?
Would 1t not be more statesmanlke-and GER
tainly more humane-to summon such a council
now in order TO prevent war? Would Il not be
possible for the Russian government TO sell its
railways in Chinese territory 20 an international
sS indicate all the powers guaranteeing the safety
and the interests Of this syndicate? In that
way, 1t seems to us, the real rights OF Russia
in Manchuria would be safeguarled, while the
apprehensions entertained by japan, that Rus
sian extension threatens her very existence
would be permanently removed.
