All over the city and in every line of business the deadening effects of the strike are being felt.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. Disappointed With Canal Treaty. The officials at the State Department sZcnSui'i Dtj )C Jii.niiuiioddcsip tsajdxj of President Marroquin, of Colombia, in his message to the Colombian Congress in regard to the ratification of the Pana' ma Canal Treaty. It is hardly as vigor otis as was expected, but it has not dis- conraged the friends of the treaty by any means. At the last Cabinet meeting Secretary Hay stated that he considered the pros pects for ratification increasing daily, and the President went to Oyster Bay feeling that before long Colombia would act favorably on the agreement. Charge d'Affaircs Rerron, of the Col ombian Legation, feels confident that, despite the election of Senor Valcz as president of the Colombian Senate, who is represented as anticanal. the treaty is growing in favor in the Congress. He believes that Senor Valcz has been mis represented as to his opposition to the treaty and that he favors the construc tion of the canal by the United States, but is not satisfied with every feature of the treaty. It has also been learned in Washing ton that opnosition to the canal and its ownership by the I'nited States have greatly misrepresented the terms of the treaty, leading the credulous Colombia public to believe that Colombia was ced ing territory to the United States and giving away its life for a mere bagatelle. Now that the actual terms of the treaty are becoming known, a decided change is coming over the people, and a favor able sentiment is spreading among the people, which will undoubtedl" have good effect on the Colombian Congress. The officials here know full well that the South American people act slowly, and are contenting themselves by believ ing that a change is in progress in Col bomia, and that in due time the treaty will be ratified. President Will Send Petition. The President has decided to trans mit the Russian government the peti tion presented to him by the executive council of the B'nai B'rith regarding the treatment of Jews in Russia. This action as taken after mature consideration. At first it was decided that the petition should not be pre sented, because it might be resented by the government of Russia and lead to a response that would cause a break in the relations of the two countries. However, the first conclusion has been reconsidered, and by direction of the President the petition will now go for ward. What the result will be is prob lematical. As indicated in the following note from Secretary Hay to Simon Wolf, the presentation will probably be made to the Russian government through the United states charge at St. Petersburg The note reads: "Dear Sir: The President has con cluded to transmit to the Russian gov ernment the petition of which you presented him a draft on the 15th of this month. The matter which he had to consider most seriously was whether or not such a proceeding would be to the advantage of your persecuted and outraged coreligionists in Russia. On this point he has decided to accept your opinion and that of the numerous and intelligent groups of American citi- zens of the Jewish faith whom you rep resent. He requests that you will send him the petition in due form at your earliest convenience. Of course, you will understand that the President can not tell you what reception your peti tion will meet with at the hands of the Russian government." Not Ready to Open Port. The negotiations with China for a trade treaty have reached a critical phase growing out of the demand of the United States and Japan for the opening of additional ports in Man churia. The Russian Government has pro fessed to entertain no opposition to this demand, but the Chinese commis sioners now take the ground that the ports mentioned in the demands Moukdcn, Taku-Shan and Harbin will be opened to foreign trade not now, but in the future, when trade ne cessities seem to require it. Therefore they propose to hold the matter in abeyance and conclude the trade con vention without this section. 1 he United States refuses to accent the suggestion, Japan takes the same position and English influence leans in that direction. The negotiations are deadlocked, pending the contrivance of means by the three powers named to bring pressure to bear upon China. More Paint for Wblte House. Renovation of the White House will be resumed this week. Last fall when the President moved he gave orders that the work be hastened.

S. Bill iard, a well-known white farmer of the Seventh district of Baker county. The manner in which the prisoners ycre obtained is unique. Jailer William Screws, who resides near the jail, was awakened about IJ o'clock by Baliff R. C. Tucker, who said that he had a pris oner to place in the lockup. The jailer hastily donned his clothes and proceeded to the jail. As soon as he had unlocked the prison doors he was suddenly sur rounded by a swarm of men with drawn revolvers, who demanded that he unlock the cell in which the Miller county ne groes were lodged. He did as commanded under protest, and the three negroes were dragged from the jail, the prisoner of Tucker making his escape during the excitement. The appeals for mercy of the three negroes were lost on the mob, who began beating and slapping them with knives as soon as they hal left the door of the jail. The mob lost no time in leaving New ton with the negroes, and when about a mile west of the town the three men were halted, nooses tied about their necks, and, amid the shouts of the mob, the men were strung up. The crowd fired several hundred shots into the swaying bodies, after which they quietly dispersed. STANDS BY THE ASSASSINS. Peter I Calls Officers Falcons of the Servian People. Belgrade (By Cable).
