A CURIOUS Hotel.

There is a large hotel in Colorado
which has notable feature of inter-
est in the fact that trout stream runs
right through its dining room. A
guest is allowed to take rod and line
and angle for the fish, which when
caught are cooked and served to him
at the next meal, and It is quite reg
uIar custom for guest to catch trout
for his own breakfast. Needless to
say, the stream is kept we'll stocked
with fish, and is a great attraction to
the guests.-London Onlooker.

MAY EMBARRASS TAFT
POSSIBLE EFFECT OF THE IA.
CON REsoLUTIoN.

The resolution adopted by the Senate
yesterday may complicate in some man
ner the object Of Secretary Taft's visit
to Panama. The resolution was offered
by Senator Bacon and called for cor
respondence since January IS. 1904. be-
tween the United States and Colombia
in relation to the secession OF Panama.
Prior to that time Colombia felt ag-
grieved at what was interpreted to be in
reference by the United States in her
troubles with the state Of Panama and
demanded $1,000 900 Of the United States.
Colombia also asked for arbitration Of
this claim. which was refused by. the
United States on the ground that this
country had been charged with fomenting
revolution in Panama and abetting the
secession OF the isthmian portion OF CO.
lombia territory.
The resolution il based upon the be-
lief. on the part OF certain democratic
for arbitration of the claim. and At the
same time has made no charges against
the United States involving the conduct
of this government in connection with the
secession OF Panama. II ID SAID that
Colombia asks that orders issued by the
United States government to commanders
Of naval vessels In Caribbean waters and
to commanders OF vessels on the west
shores OF Central America and to. the
commanders OF Marine Corps detach-
ments on the isthmus just prior to the
secession OF Panama be presented as
evidence that the Colombian government
had been injured by the United states.
What answer has been made by the state
Department to the renewed request from
Colombia for arbitration Ii not known
by these senator's.
They expect that to be brought out by
the reply OF the President 10 the request
for the correspondence.
Information also has been obtained by
these democratic senators leading them
to believe that a triangular treaty has
been neeotiated between the United
states. Colombia and Panama. by which
the Colombian claim 10 to be scaled down
ana assumed by Panama. The amount
named in the treaty, 1t II said, 10 $500. 600.
According to the advices Of the hackers
OF the Bacon resolution Colombia IL hold
ing out for 81 .00O. go and Panama Is conn.,
planning that 1t Is unjust to compel It to
nav either sum from the 9l0000.OO0 which
Canal Zone.
The chief mission Of Secretary Taft to
Panama, these senator's believe. 10 to Sc
cure an agreement by which this treaty
might be ratified. II IL said also that IL
In hoped that an agreement can be
reached between Panama and Colombia
whereby action by the United States Ben
ate on the treaty would not be necessary
and which would not call for accusation to
Senator Bacon believes that II the facts
are a. stated the United States 10 in
honor bound to grant the arbitration de.
manded. for the reason that this govern
ment has taken an advanced position on
the subject Of general arbitration.
