It means. we as game will oficiaIIy recognize those
 makes of ball which answer their re- dlirements in regard to size. weight and resi1iency.
 The number of makers thus author ized will not be definitely limited, shoUgh 1t must necessarily be restrict- ed to the leading manufacturers. Hav- ing given the hallmark of their author ity to these makers, they will give Hb- Eerty of action to EoarnaIne1f and club committees to. choose the ball which they may deem the best among those 1c1nc1ally Sanct1OnedJ In this respect the All England club, which manages the championship meeting. will be on the same footing as other clubs. This system Of selected recognition has been in vogue in America for some years.

ering proposals out OF which Secre-
tary Bryan expects treaties to result.
That they are eventually doomed Ia
failure is the admitted belief OF lead
ing senators.
The chief opposition Is the belief
that the proposed treaties are so
loosely drawn that. as In the case OF
the now bitterly controverted Hay
Pauncefote document. they could be
construed to the detriment OF the
United States.
The proposed Colombian treaty Is
still kept secret by the state depart
ment. II Is declared. however. that II
pledges this government to pay
Colombia S25.0OO.000 indemnity for
the loss of what Is now the republic
OF Panama: re-adjusts the Colombian
boundary at the Panama line; prac'
t.cally promises that this government
will exert pressure to bring Panama
intr friendly relations with Colon
bia, and grants certain concessions TO
Columbia in connection with Panama
canal trafic.
There Is a large faction In the SEN
ate. probably large enough to reject
the treaty, that will vote against any
payment In a lump sum OF $25.OOO.ooO.
for something now possessed by this
government.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-That the
proposed new treaty with Colombia.
under the terms of which this govern
ment would practically assume re-
sponsibility for the Panama revolu..
ton. will never be ratified, was the
opinion of leading senators today. Not
alone was this %. but there was q
general belief that the administration
would have trouble carrying out any
Of the provisions Of the Wilson-Bryan
elaborate plan for q general settle
ment Of al troubles with sister ma
tons.
Part of this II due to the bitter feel
ing engendered by the Panama canal
tolls controversy. but In addition
there n strong feeling among certain
senators that the so-called Bryan
peace treaties would be. of no real
benefit to the people OF this country.
The flrst of these treaties to be
considered was that negotiated with
Denmark. The senate committee on
foreign relations has practically re-
