LEAVES WASHINGTON
GENERAL REYES GOES TO NEW
YORK BEFORE SAILING
FOR COLOMBIA.

Washington, Jan. IL. - General
Reyes, the Colombian special minister
here, had an hours conference with
the secretary of state at the latter's
home during the day respecting the
Panama situation. Later he left for
New York and will sail for Colombia
Saturday next.
Secretary Hay has not come to any
conclusion about sending the CORE
spondence to congress as requested by
General Reyes. He endeavored to
show General Reyes the futility Of
Colombia's efforts to regain Panama,
but regards the matter as still open to
further efforts towards a peaceful ad.
justment.
DIR. Herran, the Colombian charge,
says that he has, as yet, completed no
plans for leaving Washington.
The Associated Press has been in
formed that General Rafael Reyes, in
his last note to the state department,
threatened IS publish the correspond
ence between himself and the state de-
partment if the department did not see
fit to send it to the senate or make it
public.

TRIAL ENDS ABRUPTLY,
Charge Of Alleged Bribery Against
Senator Dietrich Dismissed.

Senator Dietrich Dismissed.
Omaha, Jam 9.-The trial of Senator
Charles H. Dietrich for alleged brib-
cry in connection with the appoint,
ment of postmaster at Hastings, Neb.,
came to an abrupt end during the day
when the United States circuit court,
Judge Vancevanter presiding, decided
that Dietrich was not senator at
the time the alleged acts occurred.
The opinion was lengthy one and is
said to be precedent.
When the court convened Judge
Vandevanter handed down a decision
sustaining the demurrer interposed by
counsel for United States Senator
Dietrich. The demurrer was made to
the introduction of evidence on the
ground that Dietrich was not actually
a member of the senate when the al
legged bribery took place. The effect
of the decision is that man is not an
time of his election until he shall
have taken the oath at the bar of the
house to which he is elected and that
he is not amenable to the law as a
member of congress and officer of the
United States.
Judge Vandevanter, after delivering
his opinion, instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty and
the district attorney entered nolle in
the other cases against Dietrich.
Jacob Fisher, postmaster at Hastings,
Neb., was also given his liberty, a
nolle having been entered in each Of
the indictments against him.
