rdsiOn" by COiOmbians.

Washington, April 3-While the United States
has guaranteed the Independence of the Repub-
lie of Panama, it has not guaranteed her indie
pendence of all obligations as a sovereign nation
in her dealings with other countries. With this
view prevailing among officials here, the reported
invasion by Colombia of the frontier town Of
Jurado is looked upon not being in itself
casus beIIi, but rather inevitable warning
to Panama to awaken to the necessity OF becom-
ing an active party to diplomatic negotiations
for the amicab BILE adjustment of numerous open
questions pending between herself and Colom-
bia and Costa RiCa-
The town of Jurado is described as disputed
territory between Colombia and Panama in
which Colombia seems to have shade the
stronger argument. No apprehension is enter
tanned that the reported Colombian invasion
has any serious significance. State Department
officials disclaim any intention of arranging Tor
armed representa- ton in the vicinity of the IN
fant republic, and the Navy Department records
show that no naval vessels are near Panama
Dispatches have been received by the state De-
partment reporting the alleged Colombian in
yasion. but so far no action has been taken.

tees of the foundation asking that state univer
stiles he included in the retiring allowance sys-
ties were unsectarian and undenominational, and
cially wished to provide for in establishing the
pension fund.
1t was also pointed out that the exclusion of
the state universities would make it more diff
cult to get good men to serve on the faculties of
state universities. The irnproba bility of state
government providing a retiring allowance fund
for professors in its institutions, lest it raise
the question of providing pensions for all man
tees attention.
The original fund was too small. however. to
allow the trustees to consider the inclusion of
the state universities. The national association
then passed additional resolutions at meetings
November Is. 1907, and January 23, 1903,
asking the trustees to make some arrangement
that would put the state universities on the
same footing regards the foundation the
institutions already included.
Under the terms of the original foundation
the revenue of the fund Is to provides pensions
for teachers in universities colleges and techni-
cal schools in the United States and Canada
who retire after twenty-five years service or
who reach the age of sixty-five. after teaching
fifteen years. Institutions under sectarian or
state control were expressly excluded from
sharing in the revenue of the foundation

Andrew Carnegie has sent word to DR.. Henry
s. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Founda-
ton, that he will enlarge the fund to whatever
amount required so that professors and in
structors in universities colleges supported
by states may share in the benefits. Mr.. Car
negie made the promise in letter to Dr.
Pritchett dated March 81 last, although he re
allied that it would take at least announcer
5000 900 from his personal fortune.
This is what Mr.. Carnegie wrote to President
Pritchett:
Your favor of to day informs of the desire
hraced in the pension fund. as shown by reso-
luton unanimously adopted by their national
association.
In my letter of April l6. 1905, handing over
the fund TO my trustees, the following occurs;
We have. however to recognize that state and
colonial governments which have esta blIshed or
mainly supported universities, colleges or schools
may prefer that their relations shall remain ex-
clusively with the state. l cannot, therefore,
presume to include them
| beg TO say that should the governing
boards of any state universities apply for par
ticipation in the fund and the Legislature and
Governor of the state approve such application
it will give me- great pleasure to Increase the
fund. to the extent necessary to admit them,
understand from You that if all the state uni
versties should apply and be admitted five mill
ions more of per cent bonds would be
CURED, making the fund fifteen million dollars
in all
From the numerous letters l have received
from pensioners and their wives and the warm
approval of the press and the public am salts
fed that this fund is. and must be for all time
productive of lasting good. not only to the recipi
ents but to the of higher education
Most grateful am to be privileged trustee
of this wealth to devote it to such use.
