PRESIDENT REYES MAY RETIRE
Revolution Will Follow if Valencia
Does Not Succeed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PANAMA, April 10-It is reported
probable that President Reyes of CO.
lombia will temporarily retire or irrey-
ocably resign his offi9e.
In either event his only legal success
sor would be Gen. Gonzales Valencia,
elected constitutional vice president in
January. 1904. Should Gen. Reyes select
some other person to fill the office of
president his action would be illegal and
usurpation of power, which would
cause a revolution throughout the coun-
try.
Gen. Valencia, although a conservative,
enjoys the confidence of all parties.
President Reyes, it is said, is trying to
avoid holding popular elections for MEM
bers of congress as ordained by the
law.
Warnings continue to be issued against
the projected tripartite treaty between
Colombia, Panama and the United
States. Surprising activity is displayed.
Committees have been appointed to pre-
vent by all means a reconsideration of
the treaty by the coming congress, unless
1t Is materially modified regarding the
arbitration boundaries, or article 8 is
entirely eliminated.
The general opinion throughout Co
lombia Is that the only practical solution
Of the present critical situation Is Pres
ident Reyes definite retirement. when
Both the conservative and liberal parties
oppose his reelection or his further act
ing as a dictator, as he has done for the
last five years.

Plan q Smoker

Although yesterday marked the forty.
eighth anniversary Of the mastering in of
the 1st District of Columbia Volunteers
Of the civil war. there was no celebration
Of the occasion and few even remem-
bered 1t.
Among those whose minds did go back
to the early days of the war of the re-
bellion. however, were some of the sur
vivors Of those first companies Of Dis
trict volunteers. And they have planned
to celebrate the anniversary tomorrow
night by giving a smoker in St. Joseph's
Hall. to be attended by many of the
members Of the Association of District of
Columbia Veterans of 81.
Frank Burrows. who advocates the erec-
ton of a monument to District veterans
of the civil war, will make an address at
the smoker regarding that project and
touching on the history of the District
volunteers in the warfare in which they
engaged in and around the National capt.
tai Citizens of the District were among
the earliest volunteers of the war. and
they saw much active service on marches
into Virginia. when the men in gray were
forcing their way on to Washington.
The smoker tomorrow night Is expected
to give an added impetus to the move
ment for monument in this city to its
volunteers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 10.-The
funeral of DR.. Persifer Frazer took
place today, unannounced and attended
by only his closest relatives, who pre-
served absolute secrecy concerning it.
The body of the noted agnostic. scien-
tist and handwriting expert. who died
Wednesday evening after weeks of ill
ness, was taken frcm his home. 92S
Spruce street, early this morning. and
was incinerated at o'clock at the
columbarium of the Philadelphia Crema-
ton Society, Germantown.
Since the death of DR.. Frazer, which
occasioned much surprise to q large num-
ber OF his friends, inquiry of his family
has been made by many of them con-
cerning the time and place OF his funeral
The usual announcement was not inserted
in the death columns of the newspapers
Explanation for the extreme privacy was
not given.
At the dead scientists home 1t was de-
clared that the family had no announce
ment to make public relative to the
funeral, and his relatives, even those
who live in the same block. appeared to
be in Ignorance of the arrangements as
late as yesterday afternoon. None of
the clergymen whose churches are at
tended by members OF the family was
asked to Oficiate, but this occasioned
little surprise, when, 1t was remembered
that DR.. Frazer. a professed agnostic.
had never himself attended church.
1t was soon after Z o'clock this morn
ing, when the immediate relatives of DR..
Frazer assembled at his Spruce street
home. The funeral arrangements were
in charge of r. L. Bringhurst, under
taker, who had been enjoined to silence
regarding them. Just before o'clock
the funeral cortege left the house and
proceeded to the crematory. There were
about score of m0urners present as the
casket was lowered from sight to the
incinerating chamber, and they at once
returned to their homes.
The ashes will be removed tomorrow
morning to the family vault at West
Laurel Hill Cemetery.
At a recent criminal trial in Camden
DR.. Frazer's views on religion came into
the limelight in a somewhat sensational
manner. When called as q witness to
testify as handwriting expert and asked
to take the oath as witness, he was
asked by counsel for the other side If
he believed In God. DR.. Frazer answered
that he did not know whether there is
a God or not. He declined to make q
more explicit reply than that, and upon
refusing to take the customary oath was
barred as a witness

STRIKE RIOTS IN MERU, FRANCE
BUTTON MAKERS STORM AND
WRECK FACTORIES.
Sequel to Incendiary Speeches From
Agitators, Who Visit the
Place From Paris.

MERU. France, April 1O.-Ihe strike of
the buttonmakers of Meru has entered
upon critical phase. All the depart
mental authorities are hurrying in here,
and reinforcements of cavalry and gen
darmes are coming by every train. Many
arrests have been made and further trou-
BILE is expected.
The situation was quiet for several days
past pending negotiations, but these have
been futile, and disorders which broke
out again yesterday eliminated last night
in scenes recalling the revolution. Agita-
tors came down from Paris and har-
angued the mob, after which the strikers
stormed and wrecked four button fac
tories and practically destroyed the resi-,
dences of their employers.
The trouble arises from a reduction of
80 per cent in wages, made by the en-
ployers on the ground that the competi-
ton of Japan, where mother Of pearl is
very cheap, made 1t impossible to con-
tinue the old wage scale. The employers
say they will close their establishments
rather than go back to the old rate.

BIRMINGHAM. Alaa.. April 9, 1863.
An attempt is being made to modernize
the University of Alabama, venerable
and old-fashioned institution of learning
which has graduated some of the most
famous men in the history of the state.
The students have been few i'm numbe,
the funds have been limited, the methods
have been antiquated, but none of these
things have lessened the pride or dimin-
ished the confidence of those who have
been interested in the institution. 1t is
situated at Tuscaloosa, two hours ride
or SO by rail west of Birmingham, and
one of the most beautiful and picturesque
towns in the south, the home of the
arstocracy of the state, who, for several
generations, have lived in commodious
mansions of classic design, with stately
pillared porticos, sheltered from the sun
by groups of noble oaks
Tuscaloosa was originally and for many
years the capital of Alabama; it has
been called The Druid City, The Ath-
ems of Alabama" and has been held in
reverence by the people at large because
of the culture of its inhabitants and
their social Importance, and also because
1t has been the seat of the only insti-
tuition for higher education in that state.
The venerable statehouse, where the
Legislature met for many years. is now
used as boarding school for young
women, under the supervision of the Bap-
tist Church. The building belongs to the
university, which owns considerable other
real estate here and there, but unfor-
tunately receives very little revenue from

ali parties concerned. to submit the
matter to the attorney general for
his opinion. He holds that the rec
lamation act of June II, 1902, (32
stat. $3.50 which is the source of
authority in the Secretary of the In
terror in respect of the construction
of reclamation works, contains no
provision authorizing such an ar
rangement; that the Secretary of the
Interior can not commence any con-
struction of any portion of the work
unless the necessary funds are avail
able in the reclamation fund.-" and
that the agreement can not be carried
out. This opinion but confirms my
own views that | would not be JUS
titled in proceeding further with this
project along the lines contemplated
by that agreement, nor at all. unless
money for the work may be set apart
ont of the reclamation fund, and for
this reason work on this project was
by me temporarily suspended.
II remains, therefore, to determ-
inc whether existing conditions of
government reclamation work in the
state of Colorado and throughout the
country. and the amount of money
now in the reclamation fun, or to be-
come available therein, will Justify
the UNDERTAKING OF lnlS PROJECT at
this time or in the near future.
The preliminary examinations and
surveys have satisfactorily demon
strated this to be a feasible project,
and the department is willing to en-
ter upon the work when funds are
available therefor and certain legal
now under considera-
tion have been completed, and to
prosecute it with all diligence.
The director of the reclamation
service has considered the financial
aspect of the matter to some extent
and if of opinion that there is money
in the fund to the amount of. poss-
bly,. S170.000 which may be appor-
toned for expenditure in connection
with this project during the years
1909 and 1910, and that very prob
ably funds will thereafter be avail
able to continue the work in a salts
factory manner. If it be found that
permit. the preliminary
work, which has been suspended.
will be resumed and prosecuted with
dispatch.
Very respectfully.
II. A. BALLINGER.
Secretary
