REVIVES ~ CANAL PROJECT Oommission Aprointed to Draft Treaty Whch is Acosptable. AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION TALKED Exeltement Caused by Report That Panama Delegation in Congress Has Withdrawn and Started for Home. BOGOTA, Tuesday, Sept. l.—(Delayed in Transmission.)—~The senate has appointed & commission to prepare a bill authorising the government to negotiate a canal treaty without violating the constitution, but the governmént has not presented to congress & message, which is necessary, asking for reforms in the, constitution to meet the wishes of the United Sgates regarding tribunals, the sovereign control of the canal strip and the 100-year lease. The general feeling is favorable to & new treaty. Senmor Macaro, the actual president of the senate, expressed his ad- miration for the noble and sincere policy pursued by the United States and hopes that the canal wiir be opened by them. He says he regrets that he wi bliged to oppose the Hay-Herran treaty as belug & violation of the laws and the constitu- tion, but he will work strongly for a canal treaty satisfactory to both countries. Senor Obaldia, who has decided to support the canal treaty, has been appointed governor of Panama. He will leave for his post to- morrow. The government insists on congress re- considering the matter of the Panama canal treaty. General Sarria has been ap- pointed military commander of the ILsth- mus of Panama. According to a Panama dispateh, August 17, General Velasco, a veteran and a dis- tingulshed officer, has been appointed mil- ftary commander of Panama. This ap- pointment was evidently subsequently quashed. Congress has only enacted five laws, and it is reported that the sessions will soon be closed. It fs probable that the presi- dentlal candidates will pe General Rafael Reyes, the vice president, and Jose Manuel Marroquin, the acting president. The European legation has been offered to General Fernandes, the former minister of war. Inte: excitement has been produced here by a cablegram reporting the prob- ability of the United States dealing directly with Panama In the canal matter. Senor Abaldla, who has been appointed governor of Panama, left today for his post. He will take with him a canal plan ‘which it is sald will satisfy all. Representative Fabrega also left for Panam: Herran is Worrfed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Anxious over the reports which have reached Washing- ton that the delegates from the depart- ment of Panama have withdrawn from the sessions of the Colomblan congress at Bogota, Dr. Thomas Herran, the acting minister of Colombia here, today tele- graphed to the governor of Panama for information on the subjest. Dr. Herran discredits the report, as the advices from his government have given no intimation of such action. The senators from Panama with one exception, and he was bitterly op- posed to the treaty, and the six members of the house of representatives, have as- siduously worked for the ratification of the treaty. Thelr defeotion at this time, Dr, Herran realizes, would be a serious blow to the prospects for ratification. The one Panama senator who has opposed t! treaty has never lived in Panama, aithough elected to the higher body from that de- partment. The defection of the Panama olegates, it is puggested Here, might be In the nature of a protest over the atii- tude of the opposition to the tresty with the" possibility of secession from thé na- tional government, Dr. Herran still clings to the hope that a way will be found whereby the present treaty will be ratified. He liys much stress on the possibility that the senate may agree to a measure to be subsequently passed by the house, where thare is said to be a majority for the treaty, giving President Marroquin authority to negotat directly an instrument along the lines of the present treaty. President Marroquin is known to be heartily in favor of the treaty as it now s drawn, and If he were duly authorized to do so, the confident belfef of Dr. Herran is that the treaty would be ratified. The interruption to cable communieation with Bogota has been a sourcs of frrita- tion altke to the State department and to the ‘Colombian legation officlale. It has developed that Minister Beaupre at Bogota falled to recelve dispatches sent to him by the State department between July 2i |wnd August 16 At this time, when the | United States government is anxious to communieate frequently with Mr. Beauprs, | this Interruption 1s annoy!ng and Dr. Her- | ran has asked thd proper officials in Co. | lombla to investigate the cause therefore. Panama Delegates Complain. PANAMA, Colombla, Sept® &.—General Fernandes, who was spoken of some time ago as a possible presidential candidate, has been offered a European legation. It is believed that the government is anxious to send him out of the country and thus keep him out of the presidential contest. Advices recelved here from Bogota say that a stormy session was recently held in the house of representatives when the scan- dalous proceedings arising out of the er- ratic conduct of General Cobos, July 23, came up for discussion. The representa- tives for the Department of Panama com- plained bitterly that the Isthmus was be- ing exploited as & colony and that all the high officials were appointed from other departments, Ricardo A.'r&lllo being the only governer appolnted Trom the isthmus since 1886 It is belleved here that it was the fear of a secession movement which led to the appointment of or Abaldia as governor of Panama, with, it is understood, au- thority to negotiate on the canal question. General Sasrria, who has been appointed military governor of Panamm, is an fsth- mian at heart, having lived twenty years in Panama. Both Govermor Obaldla and General Sarria are ardent partisans of the canal and friends of the United States. STONE DERAILS TROLLEY CAR One Weman JKille Eleven Per- sens Injured by Pennsly- vania Acclde WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 6.—A trolley car on the Wilkesbarre & Harvey Lake railroad, returning from the lake this aft- ernoon, was wrecked in & mountain gorge five miles from this city and plunged down a thirty-foot embapkment, killing one pas- senger and Injuring eleven others. The wreck was caused by a stone, be- Meved to have been maliciously placed on the track on a sharp curve.

Miss lsadore Rush We are getting pretty well acquainted with “Florodora” out this way, but it isn't a case of familiarity breeding contempt, for we like the plece better each year. This year there 1s good reason for liking it bet- ter, for It Is better dressed, better staged, better sung and better acted than we ha ever seen it. Miss Rush is by long odds the queen of all the Lady Holyroods who havo had the part. She Is doing her part even better than she did last season, when she made her characterization of the alry husband-hunter popular In spite of her In- abllity to sing. Miss Risley is a Dolor compared to whom it were a sin to men- tion Corinne in the same week. BShe has the piquancy and charm of youth, whereas Corinne was blase, If not passe; she can sing, she can dance and she can move with grace across the stage, and no ‘black-eyed senorita” need ever feel offended if anyone tells her she looks like Greta Risley. Miss Merritt is a spirited. Angela, with a good volce and the ability to use It. Robert. I.

And the sextet, which 1s the backboné of “Florodora’s” popularity, it has improved with age and is sung better and dressed bet- ter this year than ever. The chorus is strong; not only is it good to look at, but it 1s good to listen to, for the members, both male and female can sing. Thy auvdience which listened to the eatchy mustc afid watched the unfolding of the pretty pio- tures of “Florodora” last night was not large as could have been accommodated at the Boyd, but it was dlscriminating, and gave the bright spots its unstinted com- mendation. The engagement continues un- til after Wednesday night, with a speclal bor day matinee today. “The Millionaire Tramp” at the Krug. Two performances of Elmer Walters® thriller, “The Millionalre Tramp,” drew two packed houses at the Krug yesterday. The plece 1s of the genuine melodrama type, with a little variation In the forma- tion of the hero and the villain. In nelther fs the departure sufficiently startling to shake the faith of the followers of this sort of dramatic entertainment. WHat- ever may be lacking in the way of herolsm or doep, dark villainy, is more than com- pensated for in the element of comedy with which the plece abounds. And that this feature is appreclated is well attested:by the roars and shouts of laughter and ap: plause that greeted each climax yesterday. And the sympathy of the multitude was very plainly sown, too, in the approba- tlon given the heroine when she manifested her confidence in the young man on whose name the shufing marplot undertook to heap obloquy. Gus Mortimer has the role of the tattered and torn man who sought surcease from unrequited love In drink and a hobo's life, and he does his work remark- ably well. Witter J. Baxter is the villain, and a rather wooden one, at that, Jenns McAlpine 1s the heroine, and makes much of her opporwnities, Frank Harris does a clever bit of character work as the Pooh- Bah of an Indlana cross-roads town. Others in the cast contribute their share ‘toward a successful performance. The stage setting of the plece s excellent. The engagement continues until after Wednes- day night, with matinees this afternoon and on Wednesday.

Drake of the Standard Bridge company returned yesterday morning, and by appointment met County Commissioner O'Keeffe, Accompanied by County Sur- veyor Edquist, they left immediately to Inspect the bridge over the Elkhorn river near Blk City which was reported seriously damaged by the late high water. Commissioner O'Keeffe and Mr. Drake returned together late last evening, nelther of them bearing any scars or other evi- dence of wariare on the road. Regarding the charge made Saturday by Commissioner O'Keeffe that the bridge had not.been built agcording to the contract and that the plers were only twenty-three feet long instead of being twenty-elght feet long, as called for by the contract, Mr. Drake said: “The order for the Elk City bridge was placed with me August 18, 1900, and at that time was given for a 20-foot span, with tubes twenty-eight feet long from the grade line to the bottom of the tubes. “Subsequent to the placing of this order with me there was considerable agitation and the county was asked to grant a fran- chise for an electrioc road proposed to be bullt to Fremont, and which as then pro- Jected would run over the Military road and across the Elkhorn river on the bridge Coroner Brailey took charge of the body s0on after the man dled. ‘The time of the inquest had not been fixed at an early hour this morning. —— ROOSEVELT TO OPEN FAIR Ineidentally He Will Deliver Labor Address at Syracuse.
