In Honor of Washington.

Although the legislature had de-
cided last week to sit in regular ses-
sion Monday and transact legitimate
business regardless of the fact that
it was holiday by law of the state,
the members who stayed in town over
Sunday developed into a successful
scheme to hold exercises in lieu of
the regular work of the day. In &C.
cordance with the plan the two houses
met in joint session shortly after 2
o'clock and listened to speeches on
Washington by members of the house
and senate and certain state officials.
Lieutenant Governor Hopewell pre-
sided over the meeting. Chief JUS
tice Reese and Governor Shallenber-
ger sat on the right of the two pre-
siding officers. A mixed quartet, I'M
der the leadership of Prof c. H. Mil
Ter, furnished TIE music and was re-
peatedly encoreG by the members Of
the legislature. Rev. Mr.. Pritchard
of Bethany offered prayer. When the
exercises were completed, Senator
Cain moved thanks to the speakers
and to the quartet for the entertain
ment, which motion was adopted by
rising vote.
The house selected ex-Speaker Dan
M. Nettleton to represent it. The
senate was represented by Senator
Frank T. Ransom of Douglas and
| Senator Wiltse of Cedar. Chief JUS
tice Reese and Governor Shallenber.
ger also spoke briefly. No other bust

the Past Week.

Washington, D. C.-Treaties with
Panama and Colombia in relation to
the Panama canal were ratified by
the senate Wednesday. In approving
the conventions the senate, however.
adopted resolution which is intend
ed to obviate the necessity of sub
hitting to arbitration questions con-
nected with the limitation of the cities
of Panama and Colon.
Under the treaty as negotiated these
questions would be submitted to
board of three, one representing Pan
ANA, one the United States and one
appointed by the president of Peru
and thus if dispute of serious char
acter should arise, two South Ameri-
cans would be pitted against one
North American.
This feature of the treaty was OBJ
jectionable to the senate committee
on foreign relations, but in view OF
the indignation of the Republic of Pan
anna at the recent speeches of Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois, who Sc
verely criticised President Obaldia it
was not thought advisable to ask Pan
anna to amend the treaty, which al
ready has been approved by that Re
