MANY HUNT LOST MAN.
Cumberland Man Has Been Missing
From Home Eleven DAYS.

CUMBERLAND, Nd. December 2s.-
About 100 persons searched all day for
Thomas E. Burch, the Cumberland car
penter. who has been missing since De-
cember 16, but whose absence was not
discovered until December 81.
He was sixty-seven years old, and the
belief is that he was either accidentally
drowned or met with foul play. He had
gone to work on a new house near North
Branch. and had been helped across tn
Potomac over the Baltimore and Ohio
bridge into West Virginia by some track
men. When about 100 yards from the
new house after nightfall he turned down
the mountain road toward the river near
where his tools and blouse were found.
He was tracked a quarter OF a mile far
Their. his footprints being lost at the riv-
ers edge. The river has been dragged
with horses and by men wading as far
east as Patterson's creek. where q fish
pot would prevent the body from being
washed down the river. as the water is
low An area of at least ten square miles
has been sea rched without avail.
Information was received last night
that the body Of man supposed 10 be
Burch was seen floating down the Poto-
mac river late yesterday afternoon by
Russell Stewart. Baltimore and Ohio
trackman. Stewart went after assistance.

have been very effective. Although the
forgery has been exposed and polite
apologies have been made. 1t is impossible
to convince many Argentine people that
the message is not genuine, and the irri-
ta:iou cannot be subdued.
Aside from motives OF national pride,
there is no excuse for either nation to
engage In rivalry Of extravagan' ex-
penditure of money for naval and mill

mitted by the conservative element in
both countries. The excitement Is so
great and the advocates of an armament

Be very glad II he could convince both

time and have given him great anxiety
and perplexity. He will be eminently
thankful IL Mr. Buchanan. who Is In Ca

arbitration Of the claims against Vene-

TO be able to settle serious controversy
between Colombia and Panama which
has been pending ever since the establish
ment of the latter republic.
Colombia Panama Difficulty Ended
The foreign debt Of the Republic OF
Colombia amounts to about $15.O0O,OOO
and that government very naturally con-
tends that Panama. which was a part OF
the republic while the debt was incurred
should assume its proper proportion OF
the obligations. The government of Pan.
anna has admitted the justice Of this con-
tention and has continually expressed It:
Willingness to assume an equitable snare
but 1t has been extremely dihicult to gel
the two governments to agree upon the
amount that Panama should assume. Sec
rotary Taft tried to settle 1t when ne
went TO Panama. Secretary Hay worked
over the subject with the greatest anx.
iety, and Secretary Root has been at II
ever since he accepted the portfolio Of
the State. The negotiations have been
continuous, therefore, ever since the tnde-
pendence of Panama, and 1t seemed al
most impossible to get the two countries
together But Secretary Root has final
ly suggested basis OF agreement which
is acceptable to both Colombia and Pan
anna. and within few days a treaty VIII
be signed to which the United states
will be party.
Secretary Root has recently signed.
treaty of arbitration with the Argentine
Republic, and hopes to sign similal
treaties with other nations before he re
tires. ,
Since the decision of the Central Ameri
can court Of justice the only unpleasant
ness now existing on the American CONT
neut Is between Brazil and the Argentine
Republic, and Secretary Root would bl
very glad IL he could reconcile those twt
great nations before he retires from
Office.
