RICH SA[VE
TO BE OFFERED TO COLoM-
ETA.
A MISREPRESENTATION
Said to be Satisfactory to
Minority.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Neg0tiaNibns
for the payment of between five and
ten million dollars to Colombia by the
United States have, it is said, reached
such stage that they will be con-
cluded within the next 10 days.
For this reason the Republicans in
the senate are now seriously consid-
ering a proposition from the Demo-
Gratis which will at once clear up the
situation with regard to the Panama
canal treaty.
The proposition is that resolution
be adopted, requesting the president to
use his good Offices to bring about the
establishment of friendly relations be-
tween Colombia and Panama and to
enter into negotiations whereby the
United States will agree to pay some
money to Colombia for the loss OF
Panama
The Democrats say that II the Re-
publicans will agree to such a resolu-
ton they will agree, with four excep-
tions only, to vote for the ratification
of the canal treaty The four excep-
tions are Senators Tillman. of South
Carolina; Carmack, Of Tennessee;
Daniel Of Virginia and Bailey, of
Texas. Even such irreconcilables as
Senator'S Morgan of Alabama and Tel
Ter, of Colorado, it Is stated, have
agreed to be so bound.
A caucus of the Democratic sena-
t. rs will be held tomorrow for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon the terms of the
resolution. The Republicans say that
the negotiations with Columbia are so
nearly concluded that they are dis
posed to accept the Democratic plan.
1t would probably result in the Un-
tied States paying Columbia about
100000 and requiring Panama to
pay Colombia sS,OO0,00O out of the
money the Isthmian government is to
receive from the United States

TWO new BRIDGES
MUST Be BUILT
As a Result OF the Recent Floods
Spectacular Sights Along Tusca-
rawas River Near Massillon

The county commissioners made a
trip into the west end of the county
Monday to ascertain what damage had
been done to the bridges by the re-
cent floods. The McWhinney bridge,
in Sugar Creek township, over the
creek OF that name, is thought to be
a complete wreck. 1t was washed
from the abutments and carried over
100 feet down the stream, where it
lodged and is now covered with ice
and rubbish to such an extent that its
real condition cannot be ascertained.
It was an "a foot span.
The Earl bridge, near Massillon,
was also carried away. 1t had been
condemned and the commissioners
were planning new structure, so that
the loss in this instance is merely
nominal The Cherry street bridge in
Massillon has been moved upon the
foundation, as was also the Millport
bridge in Plain township which Is a
foot and half out of line. The town
ship trustees have been slow about
reporting the condition of the bridges

BODY FOUND
Remains are
Tossed Up by Tide.

Pensacola, Fla. Feb. 1.-The badly
decomposed body of C. d. Dickercon,
the Battle Creek, Mich, capitalist, who
disappeared from his winter home here
two weeks ago was found this after
noon on the beach several miles from
this city.
The body had evidently just been
tossed up by the tide as it was still
wet. The discovery was made by the
beacon tender at The Pines, who had
been sent out as one of searching
party.
Dickerson was dressed just as he
had left him home on January II, hav-
ing on his heavy overcoat and gloves.
c. Dickerson, son of the deceased,
stated this afternoon that his father
was an expert swimmer and unless dis
abled by a fall could easily have un-
dressed himself in the water and have
swan ashore and for this reason he
cannot account for his fathers drown
ing.
The only theory advanced is that
when he gybed his yacht to pass
around the point, the boom swung
around. striking him on the head and
knocking him unconscious into the
water where he drowned. Valuable
jewelry and money which he was sup
posed to carry on his person, have not
been found and although foul play is
not suspected, an investigation has
been begun.

EpiscopaIians Vote Against Marriage
of Divorced Persons

Boston, Oct. 1.-THE house of
deputies of the Episcopal general con-
vention as a committee of the whole
voted PA to 191 in favor or reporting
to the house the canon amendment
forbidding the remarriage of any di-
vorced persons.
The committee on the state of the
church reported to the house of depu-
ties that it had been unable to define
the terms COMMUNICATE as request
ed by the diocese of Albany. Upon
the recommendation of the committee
a special committee was appointed to
report to the next convention on the
question.
A proposition bearing on changing
the name of the church came before
the house when the committee on
prayer book reported that it consider
ed it ineXpedient to strike out the
words Protestant Episcopap' from the
title page of the prayer book, in view
of the fact that the joint commission
appointed three years ago to consider
a change in the name of the church
had reported in favor of making no
change at this time. The committee
report was upon a resolution to strike
out the words from the prayer book
introduced by Rev. B. Talbot Rogers
of Fond du Lac. Wis. Mr.. Rogers
moved that his resolution be placed
on the calendar. This was ordered
and the matter will be discussed later.

EXPECT A HARD GAME.
Washburn Anticipates Good Foot
ball Contest With Fairmount.

Washburn is now putting. on the
polish for its game next Monday with
Paramount college of Wichita. Later
reports from Paramount indicate that
the Wfchit5< team may. give Washburn
a hard battle. The Wichita papers
say that the team is improving rapidly
and has some new men. The team is
known to be fully as heavy as that of
Washburn, and it has been under a
University of Chicago coach who
coached Lake Forest university last
year.
One of the members of the K U.
football squad surprised Washburn
people Thursday by applying for reg
istration here, and announcing his in
tention of playing football. His name
is Hudkins, and he comes from Cav
ker City. Hudkins is not over IS, but
is feet tall and weighs 175 pounds.
He will probably get a place on the
second team this year. He thought
seriously of coming to Wash burn at
the beginning of the year, but some
university friends persuaded him to go
to that school. After being there a
month, he has decided that WaShburn
can offer him the kind of schooling he
wants to better advantage than K. u
He is enrolled in the academic course.
He may make valuable man in next
years team.
Washbu has definitely decided
that the game with the Lincoln Medics
next Thursday at Lincoln shall be
played, but by the second team men
exclusively. Some of the substitutes
of the first team will likely be taken
along. but nothing will be done which
will weaken the first team for the
game here in Topeka on october Fl
with Doane college of Crete, Neb.
Saturday morning there is to be
free football game on Washburn field
between the "Washburn Preps' and a
team representing the Heller boarding
club. The Washburn Props team is
composed of the highest football play
ers in school, none of the first team,
second team or substitutes being in its
line up. 1t has been practicing indus
triously for some weeks. The Prep
team forms the nucleus for an acad-
envy team, which it is proposed to or
ganize, and which will play schedule
of games with out of town high
school and academies

Mr.. CAMPBELL QUITS.
Doesn't Like Campaigning in the First
District.

Congressman Phil Campbell has evil
IDENTIFY concluded that he does not wish
to mix up in First district troubles.
He had given a week of his time to
the state committee, and he had been
assigned to the First district with the
idea of helping out Curtis. He tried
it in Leavenworth and a dispatch from
there says
Congressman P. P. Campbell of the
third Kansas district, left here Thurs
day for his home, after reaching the
decision that campaigning in the First
Congressional district would be I'M
profitable and rather unpleasant this
year. Mr.. Campbell gave the state
committee one week of his time and
was booked for the First district. One
date was set for Troy. This was can
celed because Cyrus Leland insisted
that no outside speakers were needed
in Doniphan county. On reaching
Leavenworth Wednesday Mr.. Camp
bell found that no meeting had been
arranged for him at either the Sol
diers' home or in the city He was
thrown against the fractional First dis

the merits in the case, so far as the
fight between the Republican factions
is concerned, but it furnished another
Illustration of the need of a general
overhauling of the election and primary
laws of the different states. 1t must
certainly, have a demoralizing effect
upon the country for senators of the
United States to be placed in the atti-
tude of defying the laws of their states
Senators Spooner and Quarles have
both declared that the Wisconsin SUI
preme court did not decide the case on
its merits and that the decision would
not prevent them from carrying on
their fight, a contest which the court
decreed was illegally begun. The two
senators may be eminently correct in
their contentious, but the fact remains
that they placed themselves before the
public in the attitude of defying the
courts, their official positions making
their opposition all the more noticeable
and deplorable.
There is urgent demand for one re-
form that would put an end to much of
this unseemly wrangling, with the con-
sequent bringing of the courts into dis
trust. if not disrepute. The power of
selecting delegates to nominating con-
the voters of the different delegate dis
tricts, with some fixed method of final
ly adjusting disputes without referring
them to the conventions OF to commit
tees that are made up by the faction
that happens to have control of the ma
jority of the convention or a majority
of the central committee. When laws
are passed or rules formulated that will
make the actions of the voters final in
the selection of their delegates and
make their instructions binding conven-
lions will be representative of the peo-
pie instead of the bosses, as they are
now, and the voters will have an in
terest in party affairs. Until that re-
form is adopted party managers may
expect to find marked apathy among
the voters as they are finding it this
year, and the people growing more and
more Indifferent to appeals to party
loyalty and devotion. In the meantime
socialism fattens when bosses deprive
the plain citizens of any part or voice
in party mana cement.

POLITICIANS AND THE COURTS.

IFrom the washington PoSt-1
One of the interesting results of the
decision of the Wisconsin supreme court
IN the factional political fight in that
state was the advancement of the argu-
ment that political organizations are a
law unto themselves, and are not bound
by findings of courts in the interpreta-
ton of election laws. This was, in effect,
the contention made by the ''stalwart"
faction in excusing its expressed deter
nination to evade. if not ignore, the
order Of the court in the La Toilette
case.
We are not concerned at all about

Cleveland Leader: It may as well be
confessed that the present campaign
offers less inspiration to the editorial
writer than any other since the civil
war. 1t is exceedingly difficult to
force enthusiasms over an event that
is practically discounted. When any
one tells you that Parker has a chance
and a good chance, for election. ask
him to point out to your notice any
Republicans who have announced their
Intention Of voting for him. Ask him
further in what states there are the
Eaintest evidences of the landslide that
every Democratic newspaper of any
note confessed at the outset would be
absolutely necessary to insure Demo-
cratic success. Ask him what reason
he has for belief that New York will
give its electoral vote to Parker. in
view of the fact that the Vermont
farmers, who have always been an in

cousins. were apathetic as to political
meetings, but the very reverse when
