Morgan Loses Buchanan Fight.

Morgan Loses Buchanan Fight.
The senate in executive session
Monday laid on the table the motion
to reconsider the confirmation of the
nomination of w. l. Buchanan, to be
minister to Panama The vote was 38
to 16, divided on party lines, with the
exception of Senator McCreary, demo.
crat, Of Kentucky, who voted with the
republicans. BY this action Mr.. Buch-
anan now has full powers to act for
this government In all diplomatic ex-
changes between the United States
and the new republic. The motion to
reconsider the confirmation was made
before the holidays by Senator Nor
gan, thus withholding for three weeks
Mr.. Buchanan's commission as minis
ter. In the meantime Mr.. Buchanan
had arrived On the isthmus, where he
occupied the position of private citi-
zen, except for special commission
to act as the personal representative
of the president in gathering informa-
tion regarding existing conditions
there
Senator Morgan took the floor when
the senate went into executive session
Wednesday. He made general protest
against the confirmation of Mr.. Buch-
anan as minister, on the ground that
the position to which the president
had made the appointment was not
in existence at the time the appoint
ment was made, and could not be
created without the cooperation OF
the senate. Senator Spooner answer
ed for the republicans. He cited nu-
merous authorities and precedents in
support of the presidents action. Sen
ator Allison also spoke briefly in sup
port of the administration, while Sen
ators Bacon and Culberaon favored the
democratic contention. The motion to
lay Mr. Morgan's motion on the table
was made by Mr.. Lodge.
In open senate Mr.. Morgan intro
duced a concurrent resolution calling
upon the president to proceed, under
the terms of the Spooner act, to con-
struct an isthmus canal'by the Costa
Rica and Nicaragua route The reso-
luton went over under the rule.

According to the astrologers, the
world was to have come to an end on
Sept 16. 1886. They had observed
with awe that at sunrise on that day
there would be a conjunction of all
the planets in Libra and no doubt the
argument was that such a collection
would be altogether too much for the
balance of the universe. When it ar
rived, Sept. Is proved to be a very
ordinary twelfth-centufy day. In 1924
astrology plucked up courage to try
again. This time there was to be a
universal deluge, on the strength of
the meeting of three planets in the
sign of Pisces, and private Noah's
ark was actually built for the occa-
sion by devout believer at Toulouse.

1t is said that only six per cent Of
the money that was subscribed in
stock for the st. Louis exposition
will be returned to the stockholders.
Thie will be no surprise to the loyal
st. Louisans. We heard President
Francis himself state in a public
speech in the assembly hall that the
people of st Louis did not expect
to have one dollar returned to them
of the great fund of $40. 600. 600 which
they had subscribed That the 10y

TALE OF POLLY BAKER.

When Benjamin Franklin was on
his famous mission in Paris he and

happened to come in upon them. They
told the good man the subject of their
conversation, and the able immediate

in his history.
His attention was called to the story
OF certain Polly Baker, and an elo-
quent address which the able credit
ed her with making before a Massa-
chusetts court. The able insisted
that it was a true story, but admitted
that he could not remember his au-

George Smith is making a most
desperate effort to make the public
believe that he has been importuned
for stock, to influence votes to grant
his franchise. We say George Smith,
because it is the organ to which he
looks for assistance that says it for
him, Evidently he is driving Mt some
aldermen. This is unjust and a re-
Election upon the integrity of the
council, which has his franchise
under consideration. II there is no
more merit to his plan to secure an
electric line between this city and
Palisades. than that it must purchase
its way through council. the people
better rise up and compel :heir repre-
sentatiyes in council to kill it, II it
has merits, Mr.. Smith should have
sufficient confidence to not permit his
organ to insinuate as it has been do
ing for some time past. We expect
that it will charge that this paper
has received stock and that this is the
reason we are DESTROYS of having
Mr.. Smith show the council something
tangible. In lieu of what he expects
the council to grant to him.

The fire fighting apparatus of Grand
junction is totally inadequate to the
the present needs of the city. The
scaling ladders were OF little effect at
the big fire which destroyed the Cur
rie block Thursday morning. They
could not be male to reach
beyond the second story, and
were so weak that the lives of
the firemen we're endangered in their
ascent. The city cannot afford to
hesitate one minute in providing ap-
paratus which is. not only mp to date,
but has the strength to cope with a
fire of the fierceness of the last one.
Simply because this city has been
more than ordinarily fortunate in
having but very few disastrous fires
in many years, Is no reason why am-
Pile provision for fighting any kind
of fire should not be provided.
