A. C. L. Train wrecked.

Savannah. Ga. Feb. 29.-West-
bound passenger train, No. 80, on the
Atlantic Coast Line was wrecked this
morning at Alapaha. Ca, by running
into an open switch. Enginere Potter
saw two men at the switch fooling with
it and applied the brakes but was too
close to stop his train. The train col
lided with freight cars on the siding
and the engineer, fireman and porter
injured. The lock on the switch had
been broken by thewreckers An un-
known white man has been arrested at
.Alapaha in connection with the mat

are of the opinion that the wreck grew
out of the strike now on. Detectives
and officers with bloodhounds are on

the PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Secretary Hay and Minister Bu-
nau-warilla Exchange Ratif-
cations
And the President Signs Proclamation
Putting the Treaty lnte Effect.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Secretary Hay
and Minister Bunau-Varilia at 10. sc
O'Clock this forenoon exchanged ratif-
the State department.. At II. 80
O'Clock the President signed the pro-
clamation putting the treaty into
effect. AS soon as the proclamation
was signed it was returned to the
State department.. The Cabinet was
in session when the proclamation
reached the White House from the
State department.. Secretary Loeb
took the document to the President
and be signed it Immediately. The
proclamation is a purely formal docu-
ment.
There was no attempted ceremony at
the State department.. There we're
present in the diplomatic room only
Secretary Hay, NJ. Bunau- -VariIla,
Sydney Smith. chief of the diplomatic
bureau. and Eddie Savoy, the veteran
messenger Of the Secretary. The
protocols of exchange signed yestel-
day by the President we're countersigned
today by Secretary Hay.
Several legal questions remain to be
settled-amoDg them the effect upon
canal payments of the pending litiga-
tion in. France, begun by the Colum-
bian Government to prevent the sale
of the canal property to the United
States. But the State department. has
a conviction, based on unofficial assur-
ances, that the French Court will re-
iect the Colombian suit.
Another legal question is whether
under the terms of the Spooner Act the
$40, coo, eco, which was to be paid to
Colombia, car be paid, to Panama,
and it is for the Attorney General to
decide whether additional enabling
legislation will be required. 1t will
be some time before these questions
can be settled, and meanwhile no
money is likely to pass.
AS TO COMMISSIONER HARROD.
The President may not send to the
Senate his appointments on the 18TH
mian canal commission before the first
of next week. He has been informed
by telegram that Benjamin NJ. Harrod,
of New Orleans, has mailed to him a
statement regarding the charges pre-
ferred against Mr. Rarrod. Until he
has received this statement and given
consideration the probability is that
the official announcement of the
personnel of the commission will be
withheld. Even in the absence of the
statement, however, President Roose-
velt is fairly assured that the charges
made against Mr.. Harrod are not of
sufficient weight to warrant him in
withdrawing the tender made to him
of position on the commission. 1t is
believed confidently that Mr.. Harrod
will be the seventh member of the
body.
NJ. BUNAU-VARILLA RESIGNED.
Washington, Feb. 26.-M. Bunau
Varilla, the minister from Panama, to-,

PORT ARTHUR WILL FALL.

London, March The pause in
the wsr operations in the far east has
been broken by another Japanese attack
on Port Arthur, of which only the
brief account sent today is yet at hand.
This report, however, shows repeti-
t;cn of the now familiar tactics OF
japan.
1t is presumed thas this attack was
made in bad weather, previous teie-
graphic advices having reported a
severe gale raging at Port Arthur. AS
usual the Japanese did not remain
long enough off the harbor to enable
the gunners at the forts to get their
range. Again also the same three
Cruisers, the. Bayan,. the. AZ Id and
z$he N6vik cames but, to meet, I'D attack
and this suggests that either they
were the only effective ships there or
that the larger battleships were unable
to get out.

1t is said that one reason why the
collection of funds for the Hampton
monument has not been carried on
more successfully is because there
is not somebody to push it
in every other county as there
was in Darlington and i'll Sumter,
where the required amount was raised
in day. In great many counties
funds are being raised for the erection
of Confederate monuments locally and
the people of those counties would con
tribute with the same liberality to the

organizer in such county to present the
subscription list. 1t is not question
of Indifference, but matter OF lack
of leadership State.
