ACTIVE LOBBY TO PREVENT TREATY
Colombian Congress is Now Considering the
Matter at Bogota.
ADMINISTRATION IS N.T WORRIED
Roosevelt and Har Agree that, Wliat
tter Action Is Taken fcr Colombia
at This Time, ThU Country
Will Build the Ditch.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 28. (Special.) The
Colombian congress met In Bogota a week
ago. Very meager details of the first work
of the members have thus far reached
Washington, but this fact has caused no
urprlse, as It was expected that the first
week would be devoted to organization.
The administration Is advised, however,
that the various lobbies 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 rejection of the convention.
It Is laarned that In addition to repre
sentatives of the foreign syndicate which
Is trying to defeat the treaty, powerful
American railroad Interests are also repre
sented in the Colombian 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
anergetlo In urging the sale of their Pan
ama interests to the United States, should
now be engaged In an attempt to prevent
the consummation of the agreement of
ale. 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
Lessepa corporation, followed by the re
ports circulated throughout Europe to the
effect that millions of dollars worth of
valuable 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
avlngs. But about the tlmo the offer was
made to the United States the report of the
Amerloan commission, headed by Admiral
Walker, was published la France. No
sooner had tt 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
of financial aid from all over Europe. It
is asserted bythose In position to know
that within ten days' from the date of the
final rejection of th treaty the French
company will be able to control enough
ready rash 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 Hot Lose.
The present compensation of the board
of directors of the Panama canal is but
10 a day for each meeting. These meetings
are held twice a month, so that the "sal
ary" of the directorate Is but $240 per an
num. Should the treaty fail these directors
will be continued in office at 110.000 or 112,
000 each per annum, and they are naturally
not so anxious to get rid of the property
as they were. The syndicate which, if the
opportunity presents Itself, will form a sort
of construction company, has made offers
to the Colombian 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
lobbyists, with plethorla pocketbooks, to
look after their Interests.
The opposition of the American railroads
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
canal project. The American government is
taking no unusual steps toward persuad
ing the Colombian congress that the treaty
should be ratified. This must be done by
the government of Colombia.
Cromwell la Sanguine,
Mr. Cromwell, the American representa
tive of the French Canal company in the
negotiations for the sale of the canal and
railroad, expresses confidence that ratifica
tion will be secured before the adjournment
of the special session on July 20, but this
confidence Is not fully shared by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay.
But the administration Is not worried.
The canal will be finished, and the United
States will build it. The United States will
also control. It may be that when the
work is completed the canal will traverse
the republic of Panama Instead of the
United States of Colombia. This very lm
portant question will be decided within the
next sixty days.
In the meantime the republic of Nicara
gua has shown very clearly that aU hope
of a waterway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific by the Nicaragua route has been
abandoned by notifying President Rooso-
velt that the minister from Nicaragua will
be withdrawn from Washington and the
ligation closed. '
Washington n,e Dos; Days.
With the summer capital at Oyster Bay,
whither the president removed on Saturday,
Washington will for the next two months
b devoid of Int. Test and will settle down
to the quietness for which It Is proverbial
during the "dog Uoys." Of course men of
public affair, senators and ni"mler of
congress and those seeking political place
and preferment will take In Washington to
and from Oyster Bey. With tho dinner
given to Sir Thomas Llpton. who is again
In the United 8tates for the purpose of
taking away to Merrle England the Amer
ica cup, at the White House on Friday
evening, the social entertainments of the
president came to an end and the historic j
residence of th. presidents will once more
be In the hands of artisans to complete the
work already begun In making the White
House comfortable for President Roosevelt's
large family.
Not In a generation has there been so
much entertaining dene at the White House
s President Roosevelt has done since he
assumed his high office. President jRoose
volt is a delightful host. He Is open and
outspoken and likes to have about him the
people who were his friends when he was
straggling upward In the world of politics.

LONDON, June 28 (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Sir Thomas
Upton's personal Influence with King Ed
ward has Just been strikingly illustrated
In connection with the release from prison
of P. A. McHugh. the last Irish member
sent to Jail. McHugh was arrested a month
ago by order of Land Judge Ross for con
tempt of court on a decision thirteen
months old. This action 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 correspondent's
information from a high source, when Llp
ton was dining with the king a few days
before he sailed for New York . he told
him the circumstances of McHugh's case
and said that he alone could override Ross'
orders. Two days later the governor of the
Jail where McHugh was imprisoned re
ceived 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. Llpton'a
cleverness and tact, aided by the good
natured king, enabled McHugh to find a
way to freedom.

TRAIN FALLS INTO RIVER I
All bat Six of Its Three Hundred Pas
senger Killed or Inju-ed.
THIRTY OF THEM REPORTED TO BE DEAD
Indications Arc that This Estimate
Is Under Rather Than Over the
Actnal Casualties When
Trnth la Known,
MADRID, June 2S. Fourteen bodies and
fifty Injured persons have been extracted
from the wreck of the Rllboa train, which
overturned at Nejurllla river last night.
According to official Information thirty
persons were killed and sixty others seri
ously Injured. Many of the latter will die.
Of the 800 passengers on the train it Is
stated that only six escaped unhurt. Th
train, which was composed of two engines
and sixteen conches, wr.s 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 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 relief trains bringing nurses, surgeons
and medicines from Bilboa.
The train fell fifty feet from the bridge
to the river bed. the coaches piling up In
a mass of splintered wood and Ironwork.
The scene is described as horrifying. Many
corpses were carried down the stream,
which was actually reddened with blood.
It was found Impossible to extricate num
bers of the injured who were pinioned
under the wreckage.
A railway guard was arrested in the act
of robbing the deadt and narrowly escaped
lynching.
It Is believed that the official 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 as ninety and the
Injured at 100. The rescue of the Injured
from the debris is not yet completed.

false alarm. The pope is in his usual
health, and received today in private au
dience the bishop of Ibague, Colombia.
The pontiff conversed with him on. the con
dltlons prevailing .in the South American
republics and the necessity" of raising 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

Christian S-lence denomination, the first
church of the Christian Scientists, was held
In Mechanics' hall today, the three con
gregations aggregating over 16,000 persons.
Each service was impressive, especially In
the silent communion, when the entire con
gregation knelt. At each service the read
ers of the First church, the directors and
other members of prominence, had scats
on the platform. Prof. Herman 8. Herlng,
formerly of Johns Hopkins university, and ., .. . j ... TK. ,..i

Ella E. Williams was second reader. There
was no departure from the order of service
followed at previous annual communions
in the mother church, and it closely fol
lowed the service In the individual churches
of the denomination.
The sermon was a compilation of Bible
readings, with co-relative selections from j
the Christian Science textbook. Before
each service was brought to an end Prof.
Herlng read a letter from Mrs. Eddy, In
which she expressed her love for her
church and Invited communicants to visit

, Mrs. Eddy's Letter.
Mrs. Eddy's letter was as follows:
My Beloved Brethren: I have a secret to
tell thee and a question to ask. Do you
know how much I love you and the nature
of this love? No. Then my secret Is In
communicable and we live apart, but yes,
and this innermost thing becomes articulate
and my book Is not all you know of me
but your knowledge with Its magnitude of
meaning uncovers my life and your heart
has discovered It. The spiritual bespeaks
our temporal nisiory. jjimcuny, annota

flesh and evil, tell my long-kept secret
evidence a heart wholly In protest and un
utterable In love.
The unprecedented progress of Christian
Science Is proverbial and we cannot be too
grateful nor too humble for this, Inasmuch
as our dally lives serve to enhance or to
stay Its glory. To triumph in truth, to
keep the faith Individually and collectively,
conflicting elements must be mastered. De
feat need not follow victory. Jov over good
achievements and work . well done should
not be eclipsed by some lost opportunity,
some Imperative demand not yet met.
Truth, life and love will never lose claim
on me, and here let me add:
Truth happlfles life In hamlet or town.
IJfe loses all pride. Its pomp and Its frown,
Love comes to our tears like soft summer
showers,
To beautify, bless and Inspire man's power.
With everlasting love.

Response (to Letter.
The following message, prepared by Ed
ward A. Kimball of Chicago and unani
mously adopted by each service, was sent
in response to Mrs. Eddy:
Availing ourselves of our strcred Chris
tian privileges, thousands of Christian Sci
entists are again assembled to re'ehrite
the holy communion ordained by our Mtwter
and -lovingly observed by our church. "
Like all the generations of earth we are
a people who in times past were In bond
see to nearly every sin and nearly every
disease.
Many of us have been redeemed from the
most obdurate sin. Others who were once
dying have been restored , to health and
usefulness.
Coming thus, as a peculiar people to bow
in mute gratitude before our God, we give
thanks to Him for the Christian salvation
which legitimately heals the sick as well
as the sinful.
Many thousands of Scientists will make
the pilgrimage, and already numerous
special trains have been chartered. It is
estimated that 18,000 members of the de
nomination have come here to attend the
services, and the . Mechanics' building,
which covers several acres. Is entirely de
voted In a business way to the accommoda
tion of the visitors. Admission to the
mother church, which Is situated only a
short distance from Mechanics' hall was
reserved to members today and will be dur

WARRANT FOR BARRINGT0N
Mrs. McCann Chartres Illra with the
Murdel of Her Hus
band.
ST. LOUIS, June 28. A warrant was
sworn out today by Mrs. James P. McCann,
charging F. Seymour Barrlngton with the
murder of her husband, James P. McCann.
As the alleged crime was committed In
St. Louis county the city authorities today
gave Barrlngton over into the custody of
Sheriff Hankon, and the prisoner was taken
to Clayton and placed In Jail.
The body of the man supposed to be Mc
Cann, which was burled soon after being
discovered several days ago at Bonflls, was
exhumed today and an Inquest was held by
Coroner Koch of St. Louis county. The
body was in a terrible state of decomposi
tion and the features were gone owing to
the ravages of vermin. Notwithstanding,
Mrs. McCann positively Identified the body
as that of her husband, partially by a
gold tooth.
Coroner Koch made a rigid 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
Barrlngton's trunk at the Vnlon 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.
Barrlngton maintains his Innocence.

ous and convenient than those occupied
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.

by himself, shooting blank cartridges In a
22-callber revolver. The two Keltner boys,
so he said, came along, and by superior
force and numbers took the revolver from
him and began their celebration. Aftjr
taking a few shots they stopped to fix the
mechanism of the revolver, when it sud
denly went off and the charge struck Otto
in the face.
The three boys then ran, the Keltner
boys first throwing' the revolver away.
Sam Garver, who was passing, found the
revolver and turned it over to the police.
The colored boy Web located and told the
police the story or the shooting.- Late yes
terday afternoon the boys had not gone
home and their whereabouts were unknown

emperor's son, Count Tlele-Wenckler,
Count Redern and I'lilted States Naval
Attache T. M. Potts. Tho emperor was
quite a different man aboard the yacht
than when abonrd the battleship, talking
about yachting and sporting matters the
whole time. When lunch time came his
majesty helped each member of the party
himself from the large cold dishes pro
vided and Prince Adclbert photographed
the group.
Though Hamburg was a close second dur
ing the whole of tho race. It lost a minute
by its elubtnpsall going by the board.
R. W. Goclet's Swan, In the race for
yachts of Its class, finished $4 minutes
ahead of Gustav Stlnn's Oluckauff, but'
had to take second place under the handi
cap, which gave the latter i minutes' time
allowance. Hetty VI was third.

disposed of Its only competitor, Comet.
Therese unexpectedly beat Commodore and
the big English schooner Cicely turned the ,
tables on Herr Gullleaum's Clara, which

Cicely carrying only one anchor, wherevs,
under German rules, two are necessary.

will be able to see inside the ship, and will
be entertained by the crew. There has been
nothing to complain of regarding- tho be
havior of the American sailors who have
been allowed ashore. They are weloomed
along the water front and the' shops and
restaurants are engaging interpreters for
their convenience. Signs are displayed
everywhere, "Americans are welcome to
KleU"

wonderment to the Germans by driving
around In carriages and car?e At least
half the limited supply of there vehicles

AVERT MACHINISTS' .STRIKE
Men Modify Their 'Demands and It la
Thought Employers Wiit
Accept.
PITTSBURG, June 28. The threatened
strike of the machinists in this vicinity on
July 1 was probably averted today" by the
men agreeing to a compromise. ' Over 1.00)
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
union all shops where union men in any
number are employed.
A committee will wait 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
believed the manufacturerswlll agree to the
10 per cent advance In wages.
The moldera will. In all probability, strike
on July 1. This craft, after several confer
ences with the employers, has failed to
agree on a new scale. Arbitration has also
failed and a mass meeting will be held In
order to get the sentiment of the whole
body on strike or acceptance of ths em
ployers' ultimatum.
EFFORT TO SETTLE TROUBLES.
Miners and Their Snpcrlntendents

Together. ,
WILKESBARRE. Ta., June 28. The
miners, through their superintendents and
foremen throughout the Wyoming coal
fields, will make an effort to clean up the
petty disputes and grievances which exist

with such matters. The award f the
coal strike commission says that the
miners and superintendents should make
an attempt to end disputes among them
selves by conferences, and this will now
be done. Only grlevsnces which cannot be
settled In this way will ha brought to the
attention of the conciliation board.
