The dog of Mistral, the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistral's re-
cent death. It is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats, canaries and 9TH
er> pets to die a few days or even
hours after their masters. But do
they die Of grief? II is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of canary that had sue.
cumbed with its little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed, was due not to broken heart
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems It is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, II won't wash.

MILLIONS BEING SPENT BY CO.
LUMBlA TO GET $25,ooo,ooo
FROM UNITED STATES.
MILLION DOLLAR FEE
To Put over a Treaty Whereby Un-
Gle Sam Pays Columbia Large
Sum Of Money-Ameriean Dip.
Iomat Said to Be In an
International Scandal.

Washington, June 20-An interna-
tional scandal, unparalleled in its pro-
portions and half revealed ramifica-
tions, has been uncovered by an ex-
posture Of the Colombian treaty lobby
plot, writes the Chicago Tribunes cor
respondent.
Following the clews, United States
senators came into possession of in
formation leading them to believe
that thd Colombian government Is
expanding, or prepared to expend, $1O,'
100000 in this country, contingent up
on obtaining the $25,0O0,OO0 payment
proposed in the treaty.
One contingent fee alone, it is re-
ported, is fixed at $l,OO0,O00, payable
by the Colombian government to a
former American diplomat in the
event Of the ratification Of the treaty
by the United States senate.
So astounding are the revelations
that an explosion of indignation in the
senate is looed for. A sweeping in
vestigation of the entire scheme to
wiring an apology from the United
States and practically hand a huge
donation to the Colombian exchequer
will be demanded as soon as the Re-
publican senators who are following
the trail obtain certain additional in.
formation.
Another move will be the demand
that the secrecy be removed from the
Colombian as well as the Nicaraguan
treaty, which proposes 100000
payment to the Central American re-
public, and that both proposed agree
ments be debated in the open senate.
The Colombian campaign to procure
approval of the treaty comprises these
differing classes OF endeavor:
/. Anonymous Gircularizing of the
press and Washington correspondents
in an effort to sway the opinions of
those who present the facts concern
ing the treaty to the American repub-
lie.
2. Employment OF distinguished
American authorities on international
law and former public officials to ad-
wise the Colombian government to as
sist in negotiations with the state de-
partment, and to present arguments
in favor of the treaty generally.
8. Employment of lobbying agents
to call upon United States senators to
induce them to vote for ratification
of the treaty.
Hannis Taylor, Washington attor-
ney with reputation as an authority
on international law, who formerly
was United States minister to Spain,
is the man who, it is reported, will
receive the $1,OO0,000 fee if Colombia
succeeds in obtaining American APP
proval of the treaty.
Mr.. Taylor admitted he has been
employed by Colombia, but denied
that his fee is contingent upon rati-
fication of the treaty, or that it is to
be $1,000,000 or any other amount
agreed upon in advance.
Mr. Taylor asserted that his agree
ment with the Colombian government
provides for "a reasonable fee," to be
determined after the termination of
the service, and for arbitration to fix
the amount in case of dispute
