Opposition TO the treaty at Bogota WAS
ostensibly based on three grounds. There
were those who objected to what WouId

canal by the United States. There were
o,hers-yery many of them-who wanted
larger bonus and a larger annuity from
the United States There were also those'

government as to make further reVoiu-

The real reason for opposition was
however. an unwillingness to let the w.

for the unfinished canal works go to the
Frencb shareholders Of the New Panama
Canal Company. IT was observed by the

Burroughs could lock at them. / do not

his next trip to the United States to as

dertook to do, and in due time he report

This encouraged Mr. Arrange, and ha
and the members Of his family set aoout
the task OF organizing a revolution. one
dav he was accosted in the office OF the
Panama Railroad by his old friend, DR..
Manuel Amador the physician to tho
railroad company, who expressed his dis
gust at the prospective rejection OF the
treaty and his wish that Panama might
be freed from Colombian misrule.
DR.. AMADoR JOINS CONSPIRACY.
Mr.. Arrange then took him into his con-
fidence, with the result that DR.. Amador
enthusiastically joined in the conspiracy.
He urged that when the Republic or
Panama was created Mr.. Arrange should
be its first President but this suggestion
was emphatically declined.
Mr.. Arrange and DR.. Amador then be-
gan enlsting their friends In the cause.
The first to join them. after their own

Minister at Washington. After him came
! Nicanor A. de Obarrio, Ricardo Arias.
Tomas Arlas, Federico Boyd and Manuel
Espinosa All these formed a separatist

usually late at night; sometimes at Mr'

informed OF what was going on, and gave
the movement his cordial support.

Senate at Washington on March IL by the
overwhelming vote Of 73 to ., ana MI
Herran hoped for similar result d.

developed at the latter capital ana
throughout Colombia. The business men
of Carthagena sent to Bogota me-
mortal against the treaty. Then policy
OF delay was adopted. When the Co
lomban Congress was elected IN March
IL was announced that special session
of it would be called in April. since the
regular meeting time did not occur until

The Colombian Congress met on June %
and soon began consideration Of the canal
treaty. General Joaquin Velez, a notori-
Gus enemy of the canal, was elected pres
ident of the Senate. The Senators from
Panama were Jose Domingo de Obaidia,
who had formerly been Governor and al
terward President of the Republic or
Panama; Pedro Mel Ospina, and j. A.
Arrange. But Mr.. Arrange, perceiving In
advance that the treaty would be reject
ed, declined to go TO Bogota, and left his
seat in the Senate vacant Thereupon the
Colombian government designated as his
successor Mr.. Perez Soto, member or

of the treaty. So unacceptable was me-
indeed, 10 the people Of the lsthmus as
Senatorial representative that he was
soon forced by the pressure OF public
opinion 10 resign his seat. The treaty
was referred TO committees of the House
and the Senate, and was held by them
for some time without action.
