Pass Oil Refinery Bill.

Topeka, Kas.. Feb. 8. - The Kansas
senate yesterday passed the bill pro-
viding for a state oil refinery. 1t will
be submitted to the house today where
it's friends claim they have enough
votes to secure it's passage. II Is ex-
pected that Governor Hoch Will veto
the measure on account OF t1e APP
preparation involved. The Smith bill
a companion measure of the oil DILL
was passed. This Is a drastic meas
ure to prohibit discrimination OF rail-
way freight rates between different
sections and providing maximum
freight rate for oil The Standard
lobby has renewed it's efforts to secure
the defeat of the bill. Public senti-
ment is so thoroughly aroused over the
refinery plan that the Legislators fear
to vote any other way than in favor
of the measure.

Wants United States to Buy Two Is
lands at I ;heraI Terms

lands at Liberal Terms.
Bogota, Colombia Feb. 9.-President
Reyes is making another effort to get
into the good graces Of the United
States and incidentally get into it's
strong box for a little financial boost
Ever since the diplomatic represen-
tative of the country left Washington
in a huff the advisers of the govern
ment here have had their heads to-
gether seeking an easy route back into
the fold that would be creased with
some of Uncle Sans cash. The result
of all deliberations is the following as
tonishing proposition, which probably
is at present in the hands of the au-
thorities at Washington. or at least
close to this distinction as it was dis
patched from here early in January.
What Colombia Wants.
The proposition from Colombia to
the United States is in effect as fol-
lows:
First-Panama to vote whether or
not she shall return to Colombia.
Second--If Panama votes to remain
independent, then the United States
shall buy from Colombia at liberal
price the San Andres and San Louis
islands
The basis of the proposition that
Panama go thru the form of voting to
remain independent for no one could
expect the people to vote in any other
way, if such an issue should be raised
rests presumably on a suggestion con-
tanned in a letter to President Reyes
written by Secretary Hay, Jan. 49,
1904 If such a suggestion was made
at that time, it was before the Panama
permanent government was organized,
and therefore is not pertinent to pres
ent conditions.
Cash the Real Issue.
The real factor in the proposition is
contained in the part where 1t deals
with the question of cash.
Colombia has not much use for those
two little islands in the Caribbean sea
and is willing to sell them to the Uni
ted States at liberal price, the more
liberal the better.

No matter how much he is in
