REYES misunderstood.
Our Mantle Is Thrown Over More
Than Canal Strip.

Washington.-It is stated at the
state department that General Reyes
must have misunderstood the position
of the authorities here, if, as has been
reported from Bogota, he informed the
Colombian government that the Unit
ed States limited its objection to the
landing of Colombian troops in Pana-
ma to the canal zone itself. The de-
partment has not in any sense changed
its position since it was outlined in
the note Of Secretary Hay on Novem-
Der II, to Minister Bunau-Yarilla,
when it was expressly stated that no
troops with hostile intentions could
be landed in Panama. Since that time
a treaty has been negotiated between
the United States and Panama by
which the former guarantees the in
tegrity Of the latter and that treaty
is now before the senate. In its pres.
ent state, to use the words, of Secre-
tary Hay, Panama has, therefore, &C.
quired ian inchoate right" to the pro-
lection of the United States. Colon.
bias attack would be regarded by the
government of the United States as an
unfriendly act.

Sixteen Bodies Remain.

Cheswick, Pa, Feb. 3. - Sixteen
bodies are still in the mines awaiting
removal.
Slowly they are coming out of their
trance, up at the Harwick mine, where
200 lives were blotted out and an en-
tire town plunged into mourning by
one of the most horrible disasters in
the history of Pennsylvania mining.
For day or two after the catastro-
phe everybody was stunned. To begin
with nearly the entire male population
OF the village was destroyed. Only
helpless women and tiny children were
left. For in Pennsylvania the boys are
sent to work as soon as they are able to
lie about their ages without detection.

MILEAGE LINUS CUT OFF.
Some congressman Wanted Travel
Pay Anyway.

Washington.-The house voted
unanimously to strike from the urgent
deficiency bill the paragraph for the
second payment of mieage to the SEN
ators and representatives OF this con-
gress and then passed the urgent ue-
dciency appropriation bill. This ac-
ton was the climax to an exciting
discussion Oh the mileage problem be-
gun recently, tlrst on the point of or
der raised against the provision by
Mr.. Maddox of Georgia, and then on
a motion to strike out made by Mr..
Underwood of Alabama.
Argument on the point of order that
the item was not authorized by law
turned on .Ae question whether this
was the second session Of congress or
merely continuation of the session
convened November on the call of
the president. 4nessrs. Fuller of Hin
OILS and Mr.. cooper of Wisconsin, con-
sions, while Mr.. Parker of New Jer-
sey insisted that because new sane
ton had been given for meeting on
December 7, Inc status of the session,
which he held to be continuous, was
not altered. Mr.. Littleteld supple
mented his argument by reatllrming
that there had been no interregnum
between the two sessions.
Mr.. Tawney Of Minnesota, as chair
man of the committee of the whole, in
a carefully prepared opinion overrul-
ed the point of order against the ap-
preparation, saying the parliamentary
question as to whether existing law
authorized the payment of mileage
was the point to be decided by him
and the question as to whether the
mileage should be received was for
the committee to decide.
An amendment by Mr.. Grosnevor
providing for the return of the mile
age to the treasury was agreed to.
Mr. Underwood motion to strike out
the provision tor mileage. then was
adopted w,.uout dissenting vote. The
bill passed the house just as it came
from the committee Of the whole.

Roll Is Called.

the Maryland senate was probably the
most unique in its history. The body
was called to order in the regular
manner by President Jones when the

only senator present The chaplain
was present and was made secretary.
After the roll had been called and the
announcement of lack Of quorum
was made, he was constituted ser.
geant at arms and sent for the absent
senator's. His report was that none
could be found. No business was
therefore attempted. About noon Del
egates Collins and Williams arrived
and escorted the senate, in the person
of President Jones, to the house Of
delegates chamber, there to ballot as
required by the statutes Of the United
States for a United States senator
The roll call thereupon developing the
fact that only six delegates were pres
ent, the speaker announced that, ow-
ing to the lack Of a quorum, there
would be no ballot for the election of
a senator.

RUSS|A'S ANSWER DELAYED
.,,eIs BETWEEN JAPAN AND
IA.AvERTED FOR A TIME.
rorejon Minister Of Russia Trying to
shane an Answer So as to Prevent a
p,,,+,re-Is Taken as Good Indica-
+ion for Peace-Empress of Russia
Under Surgeons Care.

poris Feb, Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
the Russian answer to the latest jap
.,ass note and this will result in fur
thor ayerting the elimination of the
crisis until the middle or latter part
of this week Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister. had expected
that the exchanges going on would
have been presented to the czar yester-
day for his approval, but the expecta-
tion was not realized, and as mat
tor of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. 1t was there
fore determined to defer its submits
sion to the czar until Tuesday or We'd
nesday. Efforts are still being made
10 so shape this answer as to prevent
a rupture.
Russia Wants Peace.
This new delay is interpreted as
slightly improving the situation, as 1t
indicates that Russia is making eX-
IRENE efforts to bring the answer with
in limits acceptable to Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian
answer is not completed, it is pointed
out that it's general terms must be
taken with allowance, as the delay In
dicates that some Of the points which
presented the most serious difficulties
may yet be reconciled.
Throughout the past week, the au-
thorities here have been kept fully ad-
yised of the general tendencies of Rus
sia, but they have not known whether
or not these tendencies would be in
corporated in the answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
1t is understood the empress OF
Russia has an affection of the ear
which may necessitate an operation.
This fact is considered as having some
bearing upon the time when the an
swer will be submitted to the car for
approval.
In any event, officials here are con-
f1dent that definite results will be
known next Thursday. Owing to the
feeling that a final effort toward re.
Cancellation was being made, the tone
of official sentiment on the matter is
somewhat improved.
