E STABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871. OMAHA, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1903. FRANCE OFFERS CASH SINTIMENT SHOWS ENTIRE CHANGE | People Evince Desire to Prevent United States Ocntrol. ACTIVE LOBBY TO PREVENT TREATY Oolombian Congress is Now Oonsidering the Matter at Bogota \ IS N.T WORRIED ADMINISTRATION Roosevelt and Hay Agree that, What- ever Action ia Taken by Colombin at This Time, This Country Wil Build the Diteh. (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jyne 28—(Special.)—The Colombian congress met in Bogota a week ago. Very meager detalls of the first work of the members have thus far reached Washington, but this fact has caused surprise, as it was expected that the first week would be devoted to organization. The administration is advised, however, that the varfous lobbles opposing the rati- fication of the canal treaty are on hand in force, and it Is expected that every possible argument will be advanced to en- compass the refection of the convention. It is learned that in addition to repre- sentatives of the foreign syndicate which is trylng to defeat the treaty, powerful American railroad interests are also repre- sented in the Colomblan capital, with a chest full of money and a whole volume of promises. France Has Changed Her Mind. It seems strange to hear that the people of France, who were so recently active and energetic In urging the sale of their Pan- ama interests to the United States, should now be engiged in an attempt to prevent the consummation of the agreement of sale. It is explained that up to the time the negotiations were perfected the French company was unable to raise funds for the prosecution of the work. The scandals which had arisen over the proceedings of the De Lesseps corporation, followed by the re- ports eirculated throughout Europe to the effect that millions of dolars worth of wvaluable machinery had been allowed to go to ruin, and that hundreds of millions of francs_ would be required to complete the project had so disgusted the French people that they refused to Invest more of their saving: But about the time the offer was made to the United States the report of the Amerioan commission, headed by Admiral Walker, was published im France. No sooner had it appeared than a revulsion of feeling toward the canal began. In- stead of being compelled to beg for funds from the small tradesmen, the peasants and the middle class of the French people, the canal company found itself With offers af financial aid from all over Europe. It s asserted by those fn position to know that within ten days ffom the date of the final rejection of thy treaty the French company will he able to control enough ready cash to push work upon the canal to completion, and that it will not be neces- sary to borrow a single dollar with which to do this. Directors Will Not Los The present compensation of the board of directors of the Panama canal is but $10 a day for each meetihg. These m are held twice a month, so that the ary'" of the directorate Is but $240 per an- num. Bhould the treaty fall these directors will be continued in office at $10,000 or $12,- 000 each per annum, and they are naturally not so anxlous to get rid of the property as they were. The syndicate which, It the opportunity presents itself, will form a sort of construction company, has made offers to the Colomblan government which are regarded as far more liberal than the terms proposed by the United States, and in ad- dition to this they have employed skillful lobbytsts, with plethoric pocketbooks, to look after their Interests. The opposition of the American rallroads is purely selfish and is fully understood. The same corporate interests have been active in Washington ever since it became apparent that congress would take up the eanal project. The American government i taking no unusual steps toward persuad- ing the Colomblan congress that the treaty should be ratified. This must be done by the government of Colombla. mwell ix Sanguine. Mr, Cromwell, the American representa- tive of the French Canal company in the negotiations for the sale of the canal and rallroad, expresses confidence that ratifica- tion will be secured before the adjournment of the special session on July 20, but this confidence 18 not fully shared by President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay. But the administration is not worrled. The canal will be finished, and the United states will bulld it. The United States will also control. It may be that when the work is completed the canal will traverse the republic of Panama United States of Colombla. instead of the This very im- portant question will be decided within the next sixty days. In the meantime the republic of Nicara- gua has shown very clearly that all hope of a waterway from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the Nicaragua route has been abandoned by notifying President Roose- velt that the minister from Nicaragua will be withdrawn from Washington and the legation closed Washington in the Dog Days.

LIPTON OPENS PRISON DOOR Influence (Copyright, | BERLIN, { blegram with King Release of P, McHugh, Secures A the (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, June 28.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—8ir Thomas Lipton's personal influence with King Ed- ward has just been strikingly fllustrated in connection with the release from prison of P. A. McHugh, the last Irish member sent to jall. McHugh was arrested a month ago by order of Land Judge Ross for con- tempt of court on a decision thirteen months old. This actlon was strongly dis- approved by the viceroy and the Irish gov- ernment as calculated to embitter feeling in view of the king’s visit. But the viceroy was powerless to release McHugh. According to the World cofrespondent’s information from a high source, when Lip- ton was dining with the king a few days before he salled for New York he told him the clrcumstances of McHugh's case and sald that he alone could override Ross' orders. Two days later the governor of the Jall where McHugh was Imprisoned re- celved an order for his release signed with the king's own hand, and McHugh was set at liberty. Ross had asserted that he would keep McHugh imprisoned until he apologized, and McHugh had declared that he would rot in prison first. Lipton's cleverness and tact, alded by the good- natured king, enabled McHugh to find a way to freedom. SMUGGLERS USE, AUTOMOBILE Put Machines at Top Speed and Run Past the Customs Guards. (Copyright, 103, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 28.—(New York World Cablegram—8pectal Telegram.) — Automo- blles are now being used by smugglers to cross the Belglan frontler, where tobacco is the chief article smuggled. An auto- mobile covered with a cloth for disguise is rushed through so fast that it is fmpossi- ble to arrest it or to telegraph a descrip- tlon for arrest further on. The customs officlals are planning some cable arrange- ment to stretch across the roads to stop such smugglers. The ministers of interfor and public works have decided to mark all French roads with mobilists, and to remark the declivities, sharp turns, curbs, rising ground, and ralls above the road level croesings. The color of the signals wiil make it possible to see them a considerable distance.

All but 8ix of Its Three Hundred Pas- sengers Killed or Injued THIRTY OF THEM REPORTED TO BE DEAD Indications Are that This Estimate is Under Rather Than Over the Aot Casnalties When Trath is Known, MADRID, June 28.—Fourteen hodles and fifty Injured persons have been extracted from the wreck of the Bilboa train, which overturned at Nejurilla river last night According to officlal information thirty persons were killed and sixty others seri- ously injured. Many of the latter will die Of the 300 passengers on the train it fs stated that only six escaped unhurt. Tha was composed of two engines coaches, was crossing the bridge when the couplings between the en- gines broke. The second engine left the track and fell, followed by the entire train, into the bed of the river. Fortunately the water was low. The nearest sixteen medical attendance was A ! mile and a half distant and those passen- gers who were least injured aided the oth- ers and did all possible until the arrival of rellef trains bringing nurses, surgeons and medicines from Bilboa. The train fell fifty feet from the bridge to the river bed, the coaches plling up in a mass of eplintered wood and ironwork. The scene is described as horrifying. Many corpses were carried down the stream, which was actually reddened with blood. It wae found impossible to extrieate num- bers of the injured who were pintoned under the wreckage. A rallway guard was arrested in the act of robbing the dead; and narrowly escaped Iynching. It is believed that the officlal figures un- derestimate the number killed, some ac- counts giving the number of dead as 100. The full extent of the catastrophe will only be known when the wreckage has been cleared away. The latest dispatches from Saragossa, near which place the catastrophe occurred, give the number of dead ae ninety and the injured at 100. The rescue of the injured from the debris is not yet completed. POPE IN HIS USUAL HEALTH Rumor Which Starts in Madrid Proves to Be Without Found tion, ROME, June 28.—The Spanish embassy to the Vatican has received telegrams from Madrid anxiously inquiring about the health of the pope, saying that from a re- MNable source it was learned that his holl- ness was serfously ill. The rumor soon spread here, producing the usual sensa- tion. On going to the Vatiean, how- ever, it was found that it was only another false alarm. The pope is in his usual health, and received today in private au- dience the bishop of Ibague, Colombfa. The pontift conversed with him on the con- ditions prevalling .in the South American fepublics ‘and the necessity” of the standard of the clergy so that they might contribute to the Intellectual progress and moral progress of the people. Tonight his holiness retired sooner than usual, but merely because he, wishes to rise earlier in the morning, tomorrow being St. Peter's day.

The disaster was caused by the ignition of gas by the flame from a defective lamp. The men were on the point of quitting work for the day. Probably 100 men were in the mine at the time of the explosion. After the shock of the explosion those who were able to move rushed for the exits, but the falling earth and debris carried many down to death. Fully fifty miners escaped with broken limbs and scores of others hurt, At last reports the dead bodies of twenty- four men had been brought to light. Others may die as a result of thelr injuries, PLACING BLAME FOR KILLING Counspirators Say it Was King's Sec- retary Who Started the Shoot- ing in the Palace. BELGRADE, Servia, June % —King Peter attended the services at the cathedral today without any escort The officlal account of the recent assas- sinations, hased cn an investigation made by the war minister, is expected to be pub- lished shortly. It is understood that it will say the conspirators did not intend to kill thelr mafesties, but only to deport them, but they were incited to the murder by the attack of Lieutenant Petrovics, the king's secretary, who fired the first shot. It ap- poars that it was the king of Greece and not the king of Italy who sent his con- gratulations to King Peter on Saturday REGARD WAR AS PROBABLE | Relations Between Turkey and Bul- maria Seem Very Much Stratned.

REPAIRING First FLOOD Cars Cross DAMAGE Street River Kansas City Since the Overflow. at KANSAS CITY, June 28.—Street cars crossed the Kansas river about noon today, connecting the two Kansas Citles after an interruption of exactly four weeks, caused by the great flood. Only one of the three inter-city lines is in operation, and this one uses a temporary bridge. Armourdale fis now easy of access, but Argentine will he cut off for weeks yet. There is still no wagon bridge across the Kansas river, but two will be completed this week. Six bridges are now in use, but only one is a permanent steel structure. In replacing the destroyed bridges stronger and higher road- ways will be bullt, to withstand fature floods. Otherwise the inundated district will be little changed when fully reoccupied.

The body was in a terrible state of decomposi- tion and the features were gone owing to the ravages of vermin. Notwithstanding, as that of her husband, Bold tooth. Coroner Koch made a rigld investigation and returned a verdict that two bullet holes were found in the dead man's head and bullets were extracted corresponding in cal- iber to the caliber of the revolver found in Barrington's trunk at the Union station here last night. He also found a deep gash in the throat and a cut in the palm of the right hand, leading to the assumption that the man had been attacked first with a knife and in defending himself had seized the blade, which cut deeply into his hand, and that finally his throat had been cut and he was ultimately shot twice in the head Barrington maintains his innocence.

At the conclusion {of the services an opportunity was taken | by the members of the parish to pay their .respects to the chief executive. It s announced by Secretary Loeb that the president will recelve few callers at irq"lfll“““‘ Hill this summer, and those who hope to see him will be obliged to make engagements through Mr. Loeb in advance of thelr arrival at Oyster Bay. The pres dent will devote his mornings to the tran- saction of executive business and his after- noons to recreation and rest. During the afternoons, too, he will receive such callers as may have engagements with him, or those whom he may summon to Sagamore Hill. The executive offices selected for Becre- taries Loeb and Barnes and the clerical force this year are much more commodi- ous and convenfent than those occupled last year. They consist of six rooms in the second story of the Moore block, and are well arranged and admirably adapted to the purposes of the executive staff. The desks and other furniture in the offices are chiefly those which were used in the execu tive offices of the old White House. President Roosevelt will spend no time in the offices, his work being done In his library at Sagamore Hill. The offices are in direct communication by telephone with Sagamore Hill.

STRIKE Men Modify Their Demands and it is Thought Kmployers Wili Accept. PITTSBURG, June 2.—The threatened strike of the machinists in this vicinity on July 1 was probably averted today by the men agreeing to a compromise. Over 1,000 machinists attended the mass meeting today, and after much discussion agreed to cut their demand for an increase In wages from 15 to 10 per cent and withdraw bodily their original proposition to make entirely unfon all shops where union men in any number are employed. A committee will walt upon the manufac- turers tomorrow to present the modified scale. If this conference falls to agree the nearly 4,000 machinists will be ordered on strike Tuesday. As the organization of the shops has been the stumbling block, it is helfeved the manufacturersswill agree to the 10 per cent advance in wages. The molders will, In all probabllity, steike on July 1. This craft, after several confer- ences with the employers, has fafled to agree on a new scale. Arbitration has also falled and a mass meeting will be held In order to get the sentiment of the whole body on strike or acceptance of the em- | ployers’ ultimatum. EFFORT TO SETTLE TROUBLES.
