STIR UP GETTYSBURG
Soldiers Pile Property of Resi-
dents in Main Street.

Gettysburg, Penn, July 22.-When the
residents of Gettysburg awoke this
morning they found the towns main
thoroughfare converted into what looked
like an abandoned picnic ground, the
work of a band of militiamen from the
United States camp of instruction, who
invaded the town at an early hour on
their return from a country dance.
Chairs, tables and other articles Of fur
niture had been removed from every
porch for several blocks and were placed
in the middle of the street, with numer-
Gus potted plants to add to the general
effect.
The affair was accomplished after the
provost guard had left the town for the
night, and the Gettysburg police failed
to molest the soldiers Business signs
We're placed in front of private resi-
dences, and many hours were spent by
the owners of the property in recovering
their belongings. The identity of the
soldiers is unknown.

Delegations on Hopeless Errands.

Mr. Roosevelt has systematized his vis-
iting list at the Outlook offices after the
manner in which he handled the same
matter when he was President. Callers
who there by appointment are ushered
into an Office at the far end of the hall

dore Roosevelt" and the luckIess delega-
tions bound on hopeless errands request
ing speeches make for the door which
shelters only the general staff of The

When these unlisted callers mount into
numbers that threaten the regular work
of the Office Mr.. Roosevelt appears and goes
through them with smile and a shake of
the hand, accompanied by a no less deter
mined shake Of the head. and they go their
several ways disappointed. but somehow
satisfied and proudly happy
IT is said that many Of them reach the

Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday that he
was sorry many delegations wasted
their time by calling on and urging him to
speak at so many different places, because
it was physical impossibility for him to
accept their invitations
More than two thousand of these invi-

ceived since l returned, and I can't pos

OF them"

s750,ooo FOR COLOMBIA
Republic Won't Ratify Treaty
Money Piling Up in Treasury.
TRfon, The Tribune Bureau.

ffon1 The Tribune Bureau.
Washington, July 22.-Payments which
the United States has agreed to make to
Colombia on behalf of the Republic of
Panama are piling up in the Treasury at
the rate of s2s0,00o year because of the
refusal OF Colombia to ratify the treaties
recently negotiated among the three coun-
tries to settle questions in connection with
the Panama Canal
The tripartite arrangement was brought
about by Secretary Root as supplementary
to the treaty of 1870? with Panama BY the
terms of this older treaty the United States
agreed to pay Panama $3.50, 900 annually as
compensation for the Canal Zone. begin
ming in 1872 According to the later treaty
the United States agrees to advance the
time when these annual payments shall
begin by four years, thereby increasing the
sum payable to Panama by 81, ,0oo,000.
According to the tripartite arrangement
however, Panama agrees that the first ten
annual payments, or s., 100000 in all, shall
be made directly to Colombia, in considera-
ton of which the latter country agrees to
relieve Panama Of any share Of the ma
tional debt, unpaid at the time the smaller
republic was created The United States
is willing to pay the extra 81, ,003o10 in order
that Panama and indirectly the Canal
Zone, may be free from any entanglements
which may arise from this source.
Colombia has balked at ratifying the
treaties with the United States and Panama,
which accord it unusual concessions, such
as conveying its troops and supplies
through the canal, even in case of interna-
tional war free Of duty or other charge;
the admission into the Canal Zone of the
products of Colombia on the same footing
as those of the United States, in addition to
the payments of s2,50o.ooo on account Of the
Republic of Panama
These payments were to begin in 1903
but, as the treaties have not been ratified
by Colombia. the payments, now amount
ing to $4,000, still in the Treaury.

credited with nursing an ambition to be
the next Governor, called, without his
boom" He left the boom at home, he
explained and could not talk politics at
all. Mr.. SuIzer arrived in company with

Praise for Bar Harbor.

1t is not surprising that you have here
collection of beautiful places that have
made Bar Harbor known the world around
Those who have been brought up in the
Mississippi Valley and the limestone
regions. where the temperature goes up to
e5 and 100 during three months, that the
corn may grow, feel that coming to this
region adds years to their lives, and | con-
graduate all who have been brought up
III this country and whose fortunes have
ena bled them to come here.
Just what the winters are here I do NOT
propose to dwell upon. except TO say that
I do not doubt that they have made an
enduring and progressive race Certainly
those of US in the West can testify that
every time you make an inquiry as to the
origin of successful man the chances are
quite even that he has come either from
Maine or Vermont and I doubt not that
among those whose palatial houses rear
themselves among the trees and in the hills
herea bouts are many who as boys started
without any opportunity for vacation in
the summer and who have come back to
enjoy the breezes of the country of their
boyhood.
Il thank you my friends. for giving ua
this reception. The three days we have
passed in Bar Harbor will be red letter
days in my life. Goodby."
