ney, who was one OF the speakers at
the annual meeting of the American

Colombia AS tn Santo Domingo Mr..
Olney said the United States was be-
ing made an international debt col.
lecting agency; that the policy tended
to tyranny and tended to retard rather
than advance the progress OF interna-

founded on the will Of Caesar. Co
lombia, he said, ought to have been
compensated for the territory taken BY
the United States for the Panama
canal.

A Chinese, Solomon,

A blind street musician, reports a
Chinese newspaper, stood on the shorS
of a river, puzzled how to cross the
stream. He implored an oil dealer who
happened to come along to assist him.
The oil dealer had pity on the helpless
man, took him on his shoulders. gave
him his money bag to hold and carried
him across. When he deposited his bur-
den on the other shore the" blind man
refused to return him his money bag
raised a noise and declared that the
money was his property. The matter
came, before the Judge, and each man
said on oath that the money belonged
to him. The Judge. finally ordered the
bag Of money, emptied into a water
tank, and then suddenly announced
that the oil dealer was the owner.
When asked for the reason for his de-
cision. he declared that. the money Of
the oil dealer must certainly show
traces Of his business, and, indeed, on
the surface Of the water tracer Of oil
