If Mr.. EscoBAR means that the
clause in the treaty which he accuses
US of purposely suppressing implies
that the United States undertook in
1S46 to guarantee the sovereignty OF
the central Government at Bogota
against such revolution as that by
which Panama recovered her indepen.
dence in 1908, the former Consul Gen.
eral Is amusingly mistaken.
The position Of this Government
was clearly and onlcially stated al
long ago as 1885 by Secretary
SEWARD:
"The United States have taken and
win take no interest In any question
Of internal revolution In tho State Of
Panama. or any State Of the United
States Of Colombia The pur-
pose Of the stipula ton was to guaran-
tee the Isthmus against seizure or in
vasion by q foreign Power only
The opinion OF Attorney General
SPEED at the same time was to the
same effect:
''The United States did guarantee
New Granada in it's sovereignty and
property over tho territory. This was
a. against other and foreign Govern
ments."
Furthermore, Mr. EscoBAs Is aware
or ought to be aware Of the Colon.
bian understanding OF this same guar.
antee which he thinks we have mis-.
represented. The Colombian con
struction was set forth In q note Of
September IA, 1863. from the Minis.
ter Of Foreign Affairs at Bogota to
the United States Minister to Co.
lombia. Senator BoRAH has recently
put the conclusive utterance on rec.
ord. The understanding Of the Co.
lombian Government was:
THAT the United States will act
to preserve such sovereignty only
when there Is danger Of transfer OF
such sovereignty to foreign Power.
but not II the disturbances are con-
fined to citizens Of this republic"
Not a statement or word Of
THEODORE RoosEvELr's honest and pa.
triotic denunciation Of the proposal
to pay blackmail to Colombia has
been discredited by foe or former
friend, In the Senate or out Of It.

FORMER PARISIAN AFFEcTEn
BY COURT DECISION

The Appellate Court reversed in
part and affirmed in part the case of
James T. Clay, etc., against Irma T..
Inomas. etc., appealed from the
Clark Circuit Court. This case came
to the Court Of Appeals, it being
claimed by number of the litigants
that the Clark Circuit Court failed. to
carry out the mandate in the case of
Ireland against Thomas and others.
James M. Thomas, wealthy Paris
lumber and capitalist, left a large
estate in 1905 to his sons. w. R. and
r. l.. Thomas, and his daughters.
MIS-. I. E. Moore, Jr., and Mrs. Mary
Thomas Ireland. Much Of the estate
consisted of lands in Jackson and
Rockcastle counties. The two sons
and Thomas e. Moore, Jr., were
made trustees of the estate. A few
years later the property was purchas.
ed by w. r. and R. L. Thomas, the
sons, for $4,000, $47,500 going to
each of the heirs.
The property was sold in two years
for 100000 and Mrs. Ireland
brought suit, claiming that the es-
tate had been held in trust and the
court decided in her favor, directing
a proper distribution of the profits
Some of the property had deprecated
in value and some had increased in
value and the suit decided was in
the nature Of proper allowances for
these increases and decreases.
