The Cuban Congress, in an effort
toprevent a reduction of the rev.

sidering bill increasing duties on
imports 25 per cent. Should this
bill discriminate against the Unit
ed States in any important manner,
it would perhaps cause the abro-

voted down the increase and it is
thought the lower house will do
the same.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Ii looks at this writing as if The
Republican Senators would receive
enough reinforcements from The
South next week to ratify the Pa
mama treaty, illegitimate as was
its birth. These Gulf State acces
sions will denounce and deride the
ACCOMPLISHMENT of the infant repub.
lie. but will not unite in strangling
it. They will let it live perhaps
to become a disgrace and torment
to lis doting parent. For the rat
ifcation of the treaty is no assur-
ance of the building of the canal.
North and South America-th the
Siamese twins of this hemisphere
are connected by granite liga-
ment. In the effort to break this
ligament by a waterway at Pana-
ma, France has already expended
twenty years of time, and in cash
and bonds the enormous sum OF
1926, 000,00 to the terrible afflic.
ton and distress of her people.
She has found that there are lions
in the way. The Chagres river
sweeps twice across its path with
a torrential fury that bears every
thing before it and the Cuba
mountain possesses vast ravlnes to
cross which with canal would be
like constructing g viaduct across
the Colorado canyon. 1t may be
possible after duplicating the years
and putting into it other hundreds
of millions of dollars, but its com
pletion at last will be the highest
tribute ever yet paid to the indom-
table genius of the people of the
United States.
Yesterday | met ia the lobby of
the House of Representatives,
Representative Richardson, 0 t
Tennessee, formerly Democratic
leader of that body, now super
seeded by John Sharp Williams, Of
Mississippi. He leaned heavily on
q cane and had lost ten or fifteen
pounds since his electric car accl-
dent. Replying to my question he
said, 20, there will be issues
enough next year, even if our
friends in the Senate should vote
to ratify the Panama treaty, and it
now looks as if they would. From
the South comes up whirlwind
of approval of it. They are chas-
ing the woodchuck Of prosperity,
and perhaps they think in some
indefinite way that it iustifes the
principle of secession. But do
you suppose the American people
like the confidence game by which
Colombia is being robbed of her
possessions! Will they forgive
such an offense against justice and
decencyl And what will have
become of the Monroe doctrineg"
For many years Democrats in
the Senate have been at a striking
disadvantage when compared in
ability or distinction with their
Republican colleagues. But they
now seem to be recovering their
ancient prestige. Senator Car
mack as speaker on a question in

Answers Sheriff's Description.
He told the reporter to go to many
uncomfortable places and to do many
unpleasant and undignified things New
ertheless he was closely scrutinized
and found to answer the description
sent out by the Washington officials.
Merton Teeter, who made the cap
ture would say but little more than
that he had the man wanted and that
the offense was of the most grave
character. Mr.. Teeter refused to give
the name of the girl assaulted saying
that because of the prominence of the
family every effort was being made
to shield the victim from publicity
A message telling of the presence of
Bowen at or near Rutledge was re-
ceived by Chief Gray late Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Teeter arrived here
last night and this morning went to
the scene where Bowen was reported
to be in hiding. The search was soon
ended and Bowen landed behind the
bars.
