TREATY HELD Up.
Panama, Angry at Rainey's Speech,
Demands Apology.

Washington Feb. 6.-The demand of Senators
that the recently negotiated treaty with Panama
shall be amended in some particulars has placed
the State Department IN a somewhat embar-
RAISING position. Secretary Bacon was to have
appeared before the Foreign Relations Commit
tee to-day to explain the situation. but the
meeting was postponed until next week
Without knowing that any amendments we're
desired by the United States. the Panama Ma
tiona Assembly ratified the treaty in its original
form This action taken on the day Repre-
sentative Rainey, Of Illinois. made his speech
in the House in which he denounced President
Obaldia and William Nelson Cromwell "fili
busters and buccaneers, and declared that
Sehor ObaIida was elected by corrupt influences
and represented the worst elements Of South
American politics"
This speech aroused great Indignation in Pan
ANA, and, according to cable dispatches. the
National Assembly unanimously adopted strong
resolutions denouncing Mr.. Rainey and demand
ing a retraction from the United States
While this situation was being excitedy dis
cussed On the isthmus the request came from
the American State Department for amendments
10 the treaty in accordance with the views Of
the United States. This request has been pigeon
holed and Minister Arosemena- the representa-
tive Of Panama in this country, has been in
structed TO demand Of the United States some
republic.
In the mean time action the pending treaty
has been indefinitely postponed, unless Senators
desire to withdraw their objections and allow
the convention to be ratified in its original form.

uR. LINCOLN AND "DTYIE. "
He UaS Glad to Hear 1t Sang, Says
Joseph NimmO, Jr.

Washington. Feb 6.--Joseph Ninmo, jr- one
OF the few surviving close personal friends Of
Abraham Lincoln. to-day took issue with a
statement appearing in q local paper that Presi-
dent Schneider of the Chicago Board Of Edu-
cation. has forbidden the singing Of Dixie" at
the Lincoln centennial as reasonable.
This I am prepared TO deny from my per-
sonaI experience" said Mr.. Nimmo- EARLY one
morning in the month OF April 1865, the news
reached Washington that Richmond had been
evacuated There was a rush 10 the White
House, led by a band I accompanied the crowd
soon Mr Lincoln appeared at the window over
the front entrance. He replied TO the demand
for a speech. I well remember his closing
words. which were as follows:
There is a song or a tune which used 70
hear with great pleasure before the war but
friends across the river have appropriated IT 70
their use during the last four years 1t is the
tune called Dixie" But think we have capt
ured it. At any rate. conferred with the At
torney General this morning and he expressed
the opinion that Dixie" may fairly be regarded
as captured property So I shall be glad to hear
Dixie" by the band
Ever since then Dixie has been regarded as
a national arr beloved by the people of the
North and the South. The tune Of Dixie was
composed by Dan Emmett, q Northern man.
who wrote the words and music. For years be
fore the war it was sung at the North and at
the South and it will remain for all time a truly
national song, made so by the good natured
h{Irnor Of Abraham Lincoln
Chicago. Feb. 6-Dtd any authorized, or even
consequential person in Chicago forbid as an
set Of treason the singing Of Dixie in the
public schools at the Lincoln celebration?
The foregoing question confronted Richard c.
Hall. president of the Chicago Association Of
Commerce in a telegram received to-day from
Philip Werlein, president of the New Orleans
Progressive Union.
Nir Hall in reply said that Dixie remained
on the musical programme; that there had been
no order removing il. and that president Wood
row Wilson Of Princeton. Southerner, is TO be
the principal speaker Of the celebration, and
other prominent Southerners will participate in
several Of the meetings The idea has been fore
most from the beginning to show national ap-
probation Of Lincoln and to promote friendly
national feeling
