formed Mr. Powell that it will pay the
'lainr of J. Sala &. Co. within a few
iays. accepting the American minis

of this claim.
The Sala claim has been in dispute

VIGOROUS REPLY
ALLOWED TO DIE.
No Discussion of the Panama Canal
Project.
WASHINGTON The State depart
ment Wednesday posted the following
bulletin:
"The Department of State (this
Wednesday) afternoon received from
Minister Beupre, at Bogota, a telegram
dated September 22, 5 p. m., stating
that since the introduction of the pro
posed law in regard to the canal
treaty and its first reading, there has
been no discussion of the measure in
the Colombian congress and that the
situation is unchanged."
No additional word had been re
ceived by Dr. Hrran. the Colombian
charge, up to a late hour regarding
the Panama canal treaty. Dr. Herran
says he would not be surprised if Co
lombia should take the initiatory steps
for a renewal of the canal negotia
tions, along somewhat different lines
from that on which the last conven
tion was framed. That this is possi
ble, he says, is indicated by the com
muncations which have come to the
department from the Colombian lega
tion to tae effect thrt the Bogota gov
ernment was anxious to keep alive the
canal negotiations. The report from
Minister Beupre indicates that the
whole subject has ended in a deadlock.
Secretary Wilson of th Agricultural
department returned to Washington
Wednesday from Ogden. Utah, where
he delivered a speech before the Irri
gation congress. His journey both
ways took him through the heart of
the corn belt and he said
"The com crop, owing to the pecu
liarity of the season, was late and
light. Heavy floods destroyed it on
the bottom .lands to a great extent.
Continued rains throughout June and
July saturated the level lands and re
tarded the growth ot corn. The frost
has injured it in streaks. Through
central Iowa perhaps one-quarter of
the crop has been touched by the
freeze, but what has not been affected
by trost is ripening rapidly with this
fine weather. Iowa, for instance, will
not have as many, bushels as last year,
but will produce more No. 2 corn than
last year. There will be plenty of
com m the country because feeding
was verv extensive last year, as the
com was of such a character that it
had to be fed. Feeding last year was
unprofitable. Very many feeders lost
money, therefore they will feed less
this year.
"A very heavy hay crop was secured
this season and pastures have been
and still are hi excellent condition."

TRAP IS SPRUNC
NOT HOWEVER, BEFORE VICTIM
MADE A SPEECH
KEFFER IS LEGALLY EXECUTED
Revolting Crime for Which He Paid
the Penalty Sleep in Same Room
With Man He Murdered Blows
Out His Victim's Brains.
CHEYENNE. Wyo James Keffer
was hanged at Lander at 10:15 Friday
morning. Everything moved off like
clockwork. Keffer was on the verge
of a collapse, but by a superhuman
effort he calmed himself and walked
bravely to the gallows.
Just before the trap was spriingJ
Keffer made a talk and said he had
no grudge against any one. He ex
cused the jury, but said they made a
mistake and would some day realize
the fact. The judge of the supreme
court and governor, he said, were no
good.
Keffer's neck w-as bruken by the fall
and he was cut down in eight min
utes. The crime for which James Keffer
paid the penalty on the gallows is one
of the most revolting in the annals
of criminology in the state of
Wyoming. He crept softly into the
room wherein an aged and almost
decrepit man lay sleeping peacefully
and not even dreaming of the fate
soon to descend upon him. Keffer at
first did not deny the crime, but said
he was under influence of liquor at
the time the deed was committed.
Keffer worked on the Carmody
ranch near Bruce, and old man War
ren was stock tender for the Lander
Rawlins Stage company at the sajne
place. The story of Keffer's crime in
detail is as follows:
On the afternoon before the killing
Keffer went over to Bruce, and while
there drank several times. About 3
p. m. he started back to the ranch,
and after looking after the stock
there started for the camn of a
i
freighter known as "Scotty," about a
I mile from the ranch, in company
i with old man Warren. Scotty had
whisky in his wagon and all three
drank. After spending hours in camp
both went back to the ranch, and
after doing chores about the place
both went to bed.
They slept in the same room, their
beds being in opposite corners. Dur
ing the night Keffer, who Jiad not
slept, rose and crent silently to the
old man's bed. Turning, he crept
noiselessly to the wall, where hung
an old double-barreled shotgun, which
he took down and loaded Waiting
a moment to see if his movements
had been heard, he crept back to
where his victim lay sleeping. Kef
fer placed the muzzle of the shotgun
under the old man's chin, pulled the
trigger and blew his victim's brains
out.

PEER OF LOU DILLON.

NEW YORK The big event Fri
day at the Empire City track was the

2:U0 and to beat the world's rec
ord of two minutes held by Lou Dil
lon.
He trotted a most wonderful mile.
and. in a game but tiring finish, shot
under the wire in record time.
After a preliminary warming up the
gelding champion came out for his
trial at 4:20. He went around the
first turn, broke and came back. At
the second attempt he went away as
steady as a clock, and. though a slow
beginner, got to the quarter in 30Vi
seconds. Up the back stretch he shot
with such lightning rapidity that he
flashed by the half mile pole in 59
seconds. Then the grand stand rose
and cheered as the gallant son of Del
mar flew around the top turn to the
three-quarters pole in 1:29 and came
home to the wire in 2:00. thus equal

Givaa Inatructiana far an Extensive
Exhibit at St. Lauis.
NEW YORK Cardinal Gibbons ar
rived here Tuesday on Kaiser Wilhelm
der Groase. A delegation of priests
aad laymen from Balthnore went down
the bay on a revenue cutter to greet
him and welcome him home. Heading
the delegation were Rev. D. J. Stafford
of Washington, Rev. B. Singleton of
Baltimore, aad R. B. Tibbett of Balti
more, supreme president of the Cath
olic Benevolent legion.
The cardinal will remain in this city
a guest at the home of Mrs. Kelly of
Brooklyn, until Friday, when he will
accompany the delegation to Balti
more. When the welcoming party
boarded Kaiser Wilhelm off Quaran
tine Mr. 'nbbett cade an address of
welcome, to which the cardinal briefly
responded.
Another reception awaited the cardi
nal when he went ashore at Hoboken.
The pier was crowded with ecclesi
astical friends from this city. From
the pier Cardina Gibbons and his
party went to the Passioni3t monas
tery at Hoboken. This afternoon he
will go to Brooklyn.
The cardinal had a pleasant voyage
and he said the ocean trip had recu
perated his strength, which had been
greatly taxed by the severe spell of
fever he suffered- due to the intense
heat in Rome during the progress of
the conclave.
Of the new pontiff, the cardinal
speke in terms of the. greatest enthus
iasm. He said that the choice of the
conclave had been most happy from
an American viewpoint, as Piux X was
deeply interested in the development
of the church in this country and was
singularly familiar with Americann
stitutions. The cardinal had several
lengthy interviews with the pope re
garding church affairs in this countrv. i
The cardinal was not inclined to dis
cuss the probable policy of the new
papal regime, but said that no radical
changes in American church adminis
tration would ensue. He said that one
of the first steps taken by Piux X was
to instruct his acting secretary of
state. Mgr. Merry del Val, to provide
for an extensive exhibit of the Vatican
treasures at the St. Louis exposition.
He said the exhibit would probably
comprise some of the magnificent jub
ilee gifts of the late pontiff and a num
ber of rare historical manuscripts and
maps from the Vatican library relat
ing to the early settlement and mis
sion work in the Louisiana Purchase
i territorry. most of which was pene
trated by Catholic missionaries within
a quarter of a century of the discovery
of the continent.
