REVIVES CANAL PROJECT
Commission Appointed to Draft Treaty
' Wh ch is Acceptable.
AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION TALKED
Ksrltement Cansed by Report That
Panama Delegratloa la Congress
Has Withdrawn aad Started
for Home.
BOGOTA, Tuesday, Sept 1. (Delayed in
Transmission.) The senate has appointed a
commission to prepare a bill authorising the
government to negotiate a canal treaty
without violating the constitution, but the
government has not presented to congress
a message, which Is necessary, asking for
reforms In the, constitution to meet the
wishes of the United Spates regarding
tribunals, the sovereign control of the canal
strip and the 100-year lease.
The general feeling Is favorable to
a new treaty. Senor Maoaro, the actual
president of the senate, expressed his ad
miration for ths noble and sincere policy
pursued by the United States and hopes
that the canal wlii be opened by them.
He says he regrets that he was obliged
to oppose the Hay-Herran treaty as being
a violation of the laws and tha 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 tbe matter of the Panama
canal treaty. General S&rrla has been ap
pointed military commander of the Isth
mus of Panama.
According to a Panama dispatch, August
17, General Velasco, a veteran and a dis
tinguished officer, has been appointed mil
itary commander of Panama. This ap
pointment was evidently subsequently
quashed. ,
. Congress has only enacted Ave laws, and
It is reported that the sessions -will soon
be closed. It Is probable that the presi
dential candidates will he General Rafael
Reyes, the vice president, and Jose Manuel
Marroquln, the acting president.
The European legation has been offered
to General Fernandes, the former minister
of war.
Intense 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, loft today for his post He
will take with him a canal plan which it
Is said will satisfy all. Representative
Fabrega also left for Panama.
Herrnn . Is Worried.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-AnxlouS over
the reports which have reached Washing
ton that the delegates from the depart
ment of Panama have withdrawn from
the sessions of the Colombian congress at
Bogota, Dr. Thomas Herran, the acting
minister of Colombia here, today tele
graphed to the governor of Panama for
Information on the aubjeot 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 pf representatives, have as
siduously worked for the ratlflcatlon of
the treaty. Their detention at this time,
Dr. Herran realises, would be a serious
blow to the prospects for ratlflcatlon. The
one Panama senator who has opposed the
treaty has never lived In Panama, although
elected to the higher body from that de
partment The defection of tha Panama
delegates,' R Is suggested here; might te
In the nature of a protest over the atti
tude of the opposition to the treaty with
the 'possibility' of. secession from the na
tional governmont
Dr. Herran still clings to the hope that
a way will be found whereby the present
treaty will be ratified. He lays much
stress on the" possibility that the senate
may agree to a measure to be subsequently
pased by the houe, where there Is said
to be a majority for; tho treaty, giving
President Marroquln authority to negotiate
directly an instrument along the lines of
the present treaty. President Marroquln Is
known to be heirtlly In favor of the treaty
as It now Is drawn, and if he were duly
authorised to do so, the confident belief
of Dr. Herran Is that the treaty would be
ratified.
The Interruption to cable communication
with Bogota has been a aouros of irrita
tion alike to the State department and to
the Colombian legation officials. It has
developed that Minister Beaupre at Bogota
failed to receive dispatches sent to him
by the State department between July 21
and August 16. At this time, when the
United States government Is anxious to
communicate frequently with Mr. Beaupre,
this Interruption la annoying; and Dr. Her
ran has asked the proper officials In Co
lombia to Investigate the cause therefore

PANAMA. Colombia, Septf t. 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 thui
keep him Out of the presidential contest
Advices received here from Bogota say
that a stormy session was recently held In
the house of repreaeatatlvee when the scan
dalous proceedings arising out of the er
ratic conduct of General Cobos, July IS,
came up for discussion. The representa
tives for the Department of Panama com
plained bitterly that the Isthmus wss be
ing exploited as a colony and that all the
high officials were appointed from other
departments, Ricardo Arango being the
only governor appointed 'from the Isthmus
since USS.
It Is believed here that it was the fear
of a secession movement which led to the
appointment of Benor Abaldia as governor
of Panama, with. It Is understood, au
thority to negotiate on the canal question.
General Sarria, who has been appointed
military governor of Panama, Is sn lith
mlan at heart, having lived twenty years
In Panama. Both Governor Obaldia and
General Bania are ardent partisans of ths
canal and friends of the United States.

island and the perfume of Florodora
Mr. R. K. Uraham
Captain Arthur Donetal, Fourth Royal

Miss Cora Harris
Valleda, maid to Lady Ilolyrood
Miss Lillian Spencer
Angela Oilfaln Miss Harriet Merrltt
Lady Holyrood 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 piece better each year. Thla
year there is good reason for liking It bet
ter, for It Is better dressed, better staged,
better sung and better acted than we have
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 characterisation of the airy
husband-hunter popular In spite of her In
ability to sing. Miss Risley Is a Dolores
compared to whom It were a sin to men
tion Corlnne In the aame week. She has
the piquancy and charm of youth, whereas
Corlnne 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
Merrltt la a spirited. Angela, wjth a good
voice and the ability to use It Robert E.
Graham, the original Ollfaln, Is with the
company again this season, ahd is snaking
the part more and more his own. And' he
resembles a United States senator In- his
appearance as well as In his-grammatical
lapses. Mr. Ryley'a. Tweedlepunch Is an
exquisite bit of comedy work. Mr. Phillips
Is fairly good as Lord Abercoed, but he
gives his song to Dolores a dolorous pltoh
that is a trifle painful. He might put a lit
tle life In It and still preserve the tempo.
And the sextet, which Is the backbone 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
Is good to listen to, for the members, toti
mate and female can sing. Th audience
which listened to the eatchjr" music a fid
watched the unfolding of the "pretty pic
tures of "Florodora" last night was not as
large as could have been accommodated at
the Boyd, but It was discriminating, and
gave the bright spots its unstinted com
mendation. The engagement continues un
til sfter Wednesday nlsht, with a special
Labor day matinee today.
"The Millionaire Trams" at the Krnaj.
Two performances of Elmer Walters'
thriller, "The Millionaire Tramp," drew
two packed houses at the Krug yesterday.
The piece Is of the genuine melodramatic!
type, with a little variation In the forma
tion of the hero and the villain. In neither
Is the departure sufficiently startling to
shake the faith of the followers of this
sort of dramatlo entertainment. What
ever may be lacking in the way of heroism
or deep,' dark villainy, is more than com
pensated for In the element of comedy with
which the place abounds. And that this
feature Is appreciated is well attested -by
me roars ana snouts or laughter and ap.
plause that greeted each climax yesterday!
And the sympathy of the multitude was
very plainly sHown, ' too. In the approba
tion given the heroine when she manifested
her confidence in the young man on whose
name the shuffling marplot undertook to
heap obloquy. Gus Mortimer hss 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 tho villain,
and a rather wooden one, at that. Jennie
McAlplne is the heroine, and makes muoh
Of her opportunities. Frank Harris does
a clever bit of character work as the Pooh
Bah of an Indiana cross-roads town.
Others In the cast contribute their share
toward a successful performance. Ths
stage setting of the piece Is excellent. The
engagement continues until after Wednes
day night, with matinees this afternoon and
on Wednesday.

Overcharge for Elk Oity Bridge.
COUNTY ALLOWED CHANGE IN THE PLANS
Commissioners Agree to Let the Pter
Tubes Be Made Shorter With
oat Redaetloa la Price to
Contractor.
Robert Z. Drake of the Standard Bridge
company returned yesterday morning, and
by appointment met County Commissioner
O'Keeffe. Accompanied by County Sur
veyor Edquiat, they left Immediately to
Inspect the bridge over the Elkhorn river
near Elk City which was reported seriously
damaged by the late high water.
Commissioner O'Keeffe and Mr. Drake
returned together late last evening, neither
of them bearing any scars or other evi
dence of wartare on the road. Regarding
the charge mads Saturday by Commissioner
O'Keeffe that the bridge had not been built
aocordlng to the contract and that tbe
piers were only twenty-three feet long
Instead of being twenty-eight feet long, as
called forty 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 200-foot span, with
tubes twenty-eight feet long from tha grade
line to the bottom of tbe 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 eractrlo road proposed to be
built to Fremont, and which as then pro
jected would run over the Military road
and across the Elkhorn river on the bridge
ordered of me on August IS, 1300.
"The brldgs aa ordered at this time did
not have sufficient capacity to carry elec
tric cars, and after considerable discussion
between members of ths board and myself
I finally submitted, on January 19, 1901, a
proposition to modify the order of August
IS, 1900, and increase tbe capacity ot the
Elk City bridge over the Elkhorn river, at
the same time submitting a modified design
with the Increased capacity for such bridge.
Plans Were Cbaasjed.
"The modifications in such design con

and contract, and also Involved a change In
the placing of tbe floor beams above the
lower chord in place of their being sus

of the. tubes and place , the top of them
four feet below' grade line and carry the
floot" girders and Joists by means of a
heavily' built floor girder placed on top of
the shells. This design, so submitted, was
accepted by the Board of County Commis
sioners with the understanding and stipula
tion aa set forth in my letter that the
charge should remain the same as If built
under the original order and contract. This
proposition was accepted by resolution of
the board on January 19, 1901, and the work
was built and today stands substantially
complete according to the modified plans as
socepted at this time..
"The charges In the final settlement were
made the same as though the work had
been built as originally ordered and no
extra charge was made for the msny addi
tions required to build the structure to
carry the Increased !cd. There possibly
may be a variation of from four to eight
Inches between the various tubes as to
their exaot length, caused by difference in
lap given the plates used in constructing
the tubes, but It is absolutely certain that
there were six sections of four-foot plates
need In the building of these piers, which
would make them twenty-four feet high,
less the lap, and that It Is four feet from
tha ton of the shells to grade line, a total
of twenty-eight feet of height of pier from
grade line to base of pier.
"I may further add that the bottom of
the pier la at the exact depth that It was
originally ordered to be and that this depth
and these piers are below that of any
bridge. In my knowledge, on the Elkhorn
river, standing today at least thirteen. Jeet,
If not more, below the water line.
"So far as damage done to the structure
by the shifting of the piers, It Is not ex
tensive and It will not be a matter of large
expense to move them back to their original
position, and when so placed thty will be
entirely as substantial and safe aa before,
as they have not settled a particle. I do
not think that tha expense of replacing the
piers and spans In their original position
will exceed (300, leaving them exactly as
when originally constructed."

t. Loals.
ST. LOUIS, Sept I The police have an
other murder mystery to solve, as a ro
sult of the finding of tbe body of an un
identified man In the river at the foot of
Lucas avenue. . A bullet hole between the
eyes, discovered when the body was taken
to the morgue. Is the basis for the theory
that the man had been foully dealt with,
and later developments at an autopsy hell
over the body, strengthened this theory.
Special officers were assigned oq the case,
but thus far have failed to find any im
portant clews.
The man was wan dressed and hid the
general appearance of being prosperous.
Only t cents were found In his pockets,
which leads the police to believe that the
murder was committed for tbe purpose of
robbery. Tbe body was found sbout noon
Sunday by Captain Patrick Burke of the
tug Robert E. Lee.
Tbe shoes worn by the dead man were
marked "D. A. Pitts. Cord ale, Oi." Ths
body bad evidently beeu In the water about
