Piano Voting Contest.

The great piano contest is now
rapidly coming to q close. And q
great contest it has been. From the
very start great deal of interest was
shown by the workers and supporters
OF the different organizations taking
part and as a result thousands Of
votes have been piled up. For the
last three weeks the Lutheran Synod
church has headed the Ii IT but this
time we find the Lutheran Free church
In that position. The K. p. lodge and
Swedish Baptist church have also
made notable gains since last publi-
cation. TO say which contestant will
carry off the prize is impossible but
it seems as If the real fight will be
between the Synod and Lutheran Free
churches, although there are many
who persist in saying that the X. r.
lodge will head the list when the final
count is made. Whoever gets it will
have to put up some hard work for it
and the one who has worked the hard
est is most likely to come into pos
session of it. The vote now stands as
follows:

| is mere coincidence that this Questie0
was once raised in q case involving the OBJ
| legations of Colombia as an independent
state under a treaty which Spain had made
with the United States many years before
Spanish-American independence. In that
| case Mr.. John Quincy Adams. Secretary Of
State. in instruction to Mr.. Anderson.

said
By a treaty between the United States and
Spain concluded at time when Colombia
was part of the Spanish dominions
the principle that free ships make free
goods was expressly recognized and estah-
lshed. II is asserted that by her declara-
ton of independence Colombia has been
entirely released from all the obligations
by which. as a part of the Spanish nation.
she was bound to other nations. This prin-
ciple Is not tenable. To all the engage
ments of Spain with other nations AFFECT
ing their rights and interests, Colombia, 90
far as she was affected by them. remains
bound in honor and in justice The stipula-
ton now referred to Is of that character.
The principle thus asserted by Mr.. Adams
was afterwards sustained by an internal
| tional commission in respect to the precise
stipulation to which he referred; and q
similar position was taken by the United
States with regard to the binding obliga ton
upon the independent State Of Texas OF
commercial stipulations embodied in prior
treaties between the United States and
Mexico when Texas formed part Of the
latter country. But I'm the present case It
is unnecessary to go SO far. Even II II be
admitted that prior treaties OF a political
and commercial complexion generally do
not bind new state formed by separation,
1t is undeniable that stipulations having a
local application to the territory embraced
in the new state continue in force and
binding upon the new sovereign. Thus IL
is on all hands conceded that treaties re-
lating to boundaries and to rights of navi-
cation continue in force without regard to
changes in government or in sovereignty.
This principle obviously applies to that part
of the treaty of 1886 which relates to the
Isthmus of Panama.
ton actually before this Government Is
not that of the recognition of Panama as
an independent republic. That is already
an accomplished fact The question, and
the only question. Is whether or not We
shall build an Isthmian canal.

notes from the minister of the Republic
Of Panama to this Government and OF GER

The Only Question.


Instead of using our forces, as We were
invited by Colombia to do. for the two-fold
purpose of defeating our own rights and
interests and the interests of the civilized
world. and of compelling the submission of
the people of the Isthmus to those whom
they regarded as oppressors We shall, as In
duty bound, keep the transit open and pre-
vent its invasion. Meanwhile. the only
question now before US is that of the rati-
fication of the treaty. For it is to be re-
membered that a failure to ratify the
treaty will not undo what has been done,
will not restore Panama to Colombia. and
will not alter our obligation to keep the
transit open across the Isthmus. and to
prevent any outside power from menacing
this transit.
1t seems to have been assumed in certain
quarters that the proposition that the obli-
cations of article 20 of the treaty If 1S46
are to be considered as adhering to and
following the sovereignty of the Isthm,is.
so long as that sovereignty is not absorbed
by the United States, rests upon some
novel theory. No assumption could be fur
Their from the fact. 1t is by no means true
that a state in declaring its Independence
rids itself of all the treaty obligations en-
tered into by the parent government. 1t

I have already adverted to the treaty of
| 1916, by the thirty-fifth article of which the
United States secured. the right to a free
and open transit across the Isthmus of
Panama. and to that end agreed to guar

This article is sometimes discussed as IL the

and bound the United States to protect
| the sovereignty of New Granada against
domestic revolution. Nothing, however,
| could be more erroneous than this suppo-
sition. That our wise and patriotic an
cestors, with all their dread of entanghng
alliances, would have entered into a treaty
| with New Granada solely or even primarily
| for the purpose of enabling that remnant
of the original Republic Of Colombia, then

Confscation Proposed.
To such delays the rejection by Colombia
of the Hay-Herran treaty directly exposed
u.s. AS proof OF this fact 1 need only refer
to the programme outlined in the report of
the majority of the Panama canal commit
tee, read In the Colombian Senate on the
14th of October last. In this report, which
recommended that the discussion of a law
to authorize the Government to enter upon
new negotiations should be indefinitely
pc stponed it is proposed that the consider
alton of the subject should be deferred till
October 81, 1904 when the next Colombian
Congress should have met in ordinary ses-
sion. By that time as the report goes on
to say, the extension of time granted to
the New Panama Canal Company by treaty
in 1898 would have expired. and the new
Congress would be In a position to take up
the question whether the company had not,
in spite of further extensions that had been
granted by legislative acts, forfeited all Its
property and rights. when that time ar
rives," the report significantly declares.
1.-THE Republic, without any impeachment,
will be able to contract, and will be in more
clear, more definite and more advantageous
possession, both legally and materially"
The naked meaning of this report is that
Colombia proposed to wait until, by the en-
forcement Of a forfeiture repugnant to the
ideas of justice which obtain in every civil
lied nation the property and rights of the
New Panama Canal Company could be con-
fiscated.
Such is the scheme to which 1t was pro-
posed that the United States should be in
vited to become party. The construction
of the canal was to be relegated to the in
definite future, while Colombia was, by rea-
son of her own delay. to be placed in the
more advantageous position of claiming
not merely the compensation to be paid by
the United States for the privilege of oom-
plotting the canal. but also the forty mil
lions authorized by the act of 1902 to be

CONDEMNED BY COPY BOOK.
VLADIVOSTOK, August 31.-The evil
dence on which the British steamer
Knight Commander, sunk by the Vladi-
vostok squadron, was condemned by the
prize court, was contained in a letter
copying book taken from press in the
captains cabin by Midshipman Baron
.Ert, after the officers and crew had left
the vessel. This book was not delivered
when the captain surrendered the other
documents, and it proved conclusively
to the Russians that the cargo of rail-
way material carried by the Knight
Commander was destined for Chemulpo,
and not for private firms in Japan.
Before the prize court the captain
was not compelled to take an oath, the
president OF the court saying that he
would accept his word of honor as a
gentleman. The captain testified that
neither he nor the owners of the Knight
Commander knew that the cargo was
contraband and that they believed it
was not destined to be used as war
material. He was then confronted with
his own letter book and was dazed for
moment. He then exclaimed, "Heav-
ems! l thought that book was at the
bottom of the sea-"
The Knight Commander was prompt
ly condemned.
