Presi- dent Marroquin, however, can send the | treaty slightly amended to the Senate and reopen the canal debate. It is be- lieved at the Colombian legation that President Marroquin will adopt some such procedure. The reason given for the rejection of the treaty by the Colombian Senate, it is said here, was the alleged encroach- ment on Colombian sovereignty - which, its opponents contended, would result from the treaty. This information wa contained in a dispatch received to-night by Dr. Herran, the Colombian Charge, from Foreign Minister Ricos at Bogota. This dispatch showed that in its present form the treaty was absolutely unaccept- able to the Senate, and that it had been rejected unanimously. The view taken by the Senate was at variance to that held by the Government of Colombia, which felt satisfied when it submitted the treaty to Congress that there would be no impairment to Colom- bilan sovereignty if the treaty were rati- fied. Incidental to the general question of sovereignty necessarily was that of the lease of the strip of land through which the canal was to be constructed. and the debate in the Colombian Senate indicated that that body regarded this as amounting to a sale of the land, there- fore objectionable. When the treaty was submitted to the Senate by the committee to which it had been referred seven ‘of the Senators fa- vored it, with certain amendments which they proposed, and the remaining two op- posed it absolutely. The amendments pro- posed by the majority are not stated here, but they evidently referred to the ques- tion of sovéreignty, as is indicated by the subsequent rejection of the treaty in its present form. An interesting feature of the whole de- bate in the Colombian Senate and the committee's report favoring the treaty is saild to have been the entire absence of reference to the question ‘of indemnity offered by the United States for the right of way.

NAPLES, Aug. 17.—Vesuvius continues active and the eruption has now lasted two weeks. On nights when there is no moonlight the spectacle is magnificent, the crater belching flames and smoke to the helght of nearly 4000 feet. In spite of the legend that Naples will be destroyed by Vesllvius, the people firmly believe that San Gennaro, thelr patron saint, will stop the flow of lava with a gesture should it advance too near Naples. The stream of lava, after flowing 265 feet in the direction of Ottajaao, has stopped, while the other stream is still moving and has reached a point 2550 feet toward Pompell. —_———— CARVES HER HUSBAND WITH BUTCHER KNIFE Mrs. Pemple Slashes the Face of Her Spouse Because He Called Her a Vile Name.

It was generally thought that the treaty would pass, with some modifications. There is reason to suppose that the ma- Jority of the Senate regards the Spooner amendment to bulld by the Nicaraguan route, if the Panama route were rejected -+ | | | | | = by Colombia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. They are conyinced that the Nicaraguan project Is impossible and that the United States vill again deal with Colombia. The rejection is a heavy blow to prop- erty owners here, who have been invest- ing heavily on the prospects of the treaty being ratified. High authorities on the isthmus ex- press the opinion that President Roose- | velt may insist on the right of the United | States to purchase the canal enterprise | from the French company, Colombia hav- ing sanctioned the sale, and fake imme- | diate steps to. show Colombia that the | United States is determined to go through | with the project, at the same time in- | forming the Colombian Government that the obstacles in the way of the transfer, viz., the questions of money and the sovereignty and jurisdiction over the property involved, etc., are questions for subsequent settlement and possible arbi- tration at the Hague. Others think that Colombia will soon recognize the serlousness of her mistake in not ratifying the treaty, as the United States and European nations will lose no time in enforcing their claims on Colom- bia. PANAMA, Aug. 17.—The unanimous re- jection of the Panama canal treaty by the Senate has caused a profound impression here in all circles. The question on all lips is: What will become of Panama? The only consolation the isthmians have is that the rest of the republic, with the exchange at a very high figure and with an upward tendency, will suffer a great deal more. It seems that the Government never expected the treaty to be ratified and it was not supported at all in the Senate. General Valezzo, an old veteran and a distinguished army officer, probably wiil be appointed Military Governor of the district of Panama. It is thought that the fears caused by the rumors of a se- cesslon movement on the isthmus may have influenced the appointment. BOGOTA, Aug. 17.—It was rumored to- day that President Marroquin had becn authorized by Congress to make a new treaty, which would not require further | ratification, but that the basis given for | the treaty probably would prove unac- ceptable to the United States. It is considered, however, in official cir- cles, according to reliable information, that the authorization given by Congress to make a new treaty will supply a basis for reopening negotiations with tlLe United States. It appears that one of the objections to the ratification which carried weight in | the Senate was that the Panama Canal Company did not come to a previous ar- | rangement with the Colombian Govern- ment for the transfer of the concession. The action taken by the Senate, how- ever, seems to have been Influenced by the communication made by the American Minister, in which the introduction of any amendments to the treaty was objected to. - > were proposed would be unsatisfactory. The absolute rejection of the treaty fol- lowed. It is quite certain that the action of Co- lombia. will induce some consultations of importance in the near future and possi- bly some actlon by Congress at the extra- ordinary session. JEALOUS WIFE USES REVOLVER Fires a Bullet Into the Brain of Her Sup- posed Rival. SEATTLE, Wash, Avg. 17.—Crazed with the belief that the affections of her husband had been stolen and her home destroyed by Mrs. Laura Graham, Mrs. Sarah Allen fired a shot into the brain of her supposed rival at South Seattle early this evening. Mrs. Allen was taken to the City Jail and later transferred to the County Jail. Mrs. Graham was brought to the city and placed in Providence Hospital. The surgeons have little hope of the woman’s recovery. Mrs. Allen is the wife of a motorman running on the South Seattle street rail- way line. Mrs. Graham is separated from her husband. The latter is now in Alaska. . ~ | assertea | received a message from his parents. and POLIGE PREVENT THEIR MARRIAGE Granting of a License to a Runaway Couple Is Stcpped. Isador D. Darziger and His Intended Bride Sadly Disappointed. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 17.—The Police De-| partment of this city prevented the mar- | riage of Isador D. Danziger of San Fran- | cisco and Miss Catherine Martin of Marin County, an eloping couple, here to-day. Chief Wittman of San Francisco notified Chief of Police Carroll this morning of | the elopement and asked him to notify the County Clerk not to issue a license | to Danziger, as he was but 19 years of age. The lady is sald to be six or seven years his senior. Detective Pickering was detalled to no- tify the County Clerk to refuse a license to the couple and he was just in time. Danziger and his bride-to-be had just made application for a license when the | officer entered and Reputy Aggeler was engaged in making itjout. Danziger was questioned and stoutly that he was of legal age, but as he was unable to produce evidence to support his claims the license was withheld. The young people left the courthouse greatly disheartened and spent the morning beneath the trees in St.| James Park. After dinner at the St. James ther returned to Sam Francisco. The attempt at matrimony is said to be the result of a romantic runaway and, although Danziger asserts that his pa- rents krew of his prospective marriage and had raised no objections ,to it, the story is current that no one was in the | confidence of the young people, but that | their plans were inadvertently discovered | by the parents of the young man, who called unon Chief Wittman to ald them in preventing the nuptials. Shortly before Danziger and his companion took the train for San Francisco the young man it Is supposed that the couple have re- turned to Danziger's home to attempt to obtain the consent of his relatives. ———— BIG CRUISER NEW YORK IS IN POOR CONDITION Experts Think It Would Be Unsafe for Her to Attempt a Long Voyage.

L WIFE OF FARMER HELD FOR RANGOM Iowa Woman Escapes From Clutch of a Kidnaper. DAVENPORT, Ia., Aug. 17.—Report comes from Sunbury, la., of the kidnap-| ing late last night of Mrs. John Hilsrow, wife of a wealthy farmer, and an attempt to extort $50,000 ransom from her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Hilsrow were decoyed from their home by a man who sald that their son was ill in a near-by town. While they were driving along a lonely road with the strange man, it is said, Hilsrow, who is aged and feeble, was thrown from the buggy and was told that his wife would be held until he brought the money to a certain secluded spot. Mrs. Hilsrow was imprisoned in the cel- lar of a deserted farmhouse. During last night, while her captor was away from the house, she made her escape, running to a farmhouse of the neighborhood. In the meantime, her husband had com- municated with the county authorities, but no trace of the kidnaper could be found. Mrs. Hilsrow is in a critical con- dition from exposure. e INDIAN BOYS PARTAKE OF POISONED FOOD . > One of Them Dies and His Compan- jon Is Not Expected to Recover. OROVILLE, Aug. 17.—Two Indian boys living at an Indlan camp near Cherokee, twelve miles north of Oroville, to-day ate a lunch which they found hanging to a tree, and as a result one is dead and the other will probably die. The boy who succumbed to the poisoned Ilunch was aged about 9 years. How the poiscned food got there has not been learned. It is possible that it was intended to poison wild animals. It was near a spring and the boys had undoubtedly gone to the spring to get a drink when they discov- ered it. ————— Retail Grocers Meet in Convention.

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 17.—An in- quest held to-day over the remains of Miss Catherine Grathwol; who dled on the mountain trail to the summit of the Santa Ynez range yesterday afternoon, developed the fact that the young wo- man’s death was caused by heart failure brought about by exhaustion. The Cor- oner’'s deputies who went after the re- mains returned early this morning after i a most difficult and hazardous trip. The body had to be tled on the back of & horse and brought over the narrow trail in the darkness. Miss Grathwol had requested the friends with whom she was making the ascent on horseback to proceed without her after half the distance had been covered, stat- ing that she would remain until their re- turn. The party went only a couple of miles and then returned. Not finding Miss Grathwol where she had been left. they proceeded a short distance along the trail and found ker prostrate body lying in the sun. Efforts to revive her were futile, and she died half an hour later. Miss Grathwol came to Santa Barbara five months ago from St. Paul. accompa- nled by her mother, hoping to improve her health. The other members of the party have returned uninjured. ST. PAVL, Min Aug. 17.-Miss Kath- erine Grathwol was a teacher in one of the St. Paul public schools and her fam- ily is well known here. Her mother was with her in California. Miss J. J. Grathwol, sister of Miss Katherine Grathwol, received a letter from Katherine recently. It was dated August $ and was as follows: I have an engagement for mext Sunday. A gentleman called on Nellie Stone and asked her %0 g0 up Le Cumbre trail on that day. They asked me to go and insisted that they would not go uniess I went. So I accepted and shall go If nothing happens. Le Cumbre is the highest peak in these parts and it Is considered a great feat to climb it. 1 pleaded inability to ride, but the gentleman insi that he would secure a surefooted horse, and, if need be. would strap me on. Really, I am quite anxious to go. as I think it would be quite an experience.
