JOHN ROACH.

John Roach was born in ireland of poo,
parents, and at the age of fifteen was
sent to America, and landed in New
York without money, friends or trade.
He worked his way over into New Jersey,
and secured a job with the Howell Iron
Works. Ten years went by and he had
become an Iron Worker.
Ills first business venture was made
with some other workmen of the foundry.
They started a small foundry and called
1t the Aetna Iron Works, which for sew
eral years prospered remarkably. But
enc day the boiler in the engine room
exploded, and in one mement Roach was
made a poor man again.
Nothing dannted him. however. He
obtained credit and reorganized the COM
pany which speedily grew.
In 1860 he was the lowest bidder and
obtained a contract to build the great
iron draw.bridge. piers and all. over the
Harlem River. Smaller swinging bridges
had been built. but nothing like this one
had ever been attempted. He went to
work and when he finished the bridge 1t
was said there never was a more COM
plete success in iron work, masonry, and
engineering.
The foundation of Roach's success was
hard work and thorough knowledge of
anything he undertook,

COLOMBIA REJECTS
PROPOSALS OF U. S.
Publishes Statement of Ne
gOtiatiOns-Wants Bet
ter Proposition

Bogota, Colombia. February 2S.-The
Colombian government today published
statement of negotiations with the
united States for settlement of the dis
pute for the partition of Panama. The
statement says Colombia has refused
the foliowing informal propositions
made by the United States:
First: The payment of $4,000, 900 for
for coalins stations on the islands of
Andres and Providencia and an option
for a canal by way of the Atrato river.
Second: The good offices of the
United States in settlement of the
boundary and other questions with
Panama.
@Third. Arbitration rights in the
Panama railroad.
"Fourth: Preferential rights on the
Panama canal"
The statement says that after the
rejection of these propositions, James
T. Duboise, the American minister to
Colombia, informally asked whether. II
the United States should offer to Co
lombia S10,000.00 and all the other
propositions without asking privileges
or options Colombia would accept. To
this Foreign Minister Urrutia answered
in the negative declaring that the
offer of the United States had been
refused entirely as being unacceptable
and that Colombia demanded arbitra-
tion of the entire question or a direct
proposition as to compensation for all
her losses in Panama.
The Colombian government evidently
expects a better proposition from the
incoming administration at Washington
and Is said to have made public its
statement, in order to defend itself
from criticism for refusing the pres
ent offer.
