TREATY WAS REJECTED
Colombian Senate Unanimous
Against Proposition.
Reliance Won First Race Weekly
Trade Review Auto Caused Run
awayDeath of Lord Salisbury.
General Black. Elected Firemen,
Convention Root Will Resign.
Dr. Herran, thq Colombian chargo
d'affaires at Washington, has re
ceived an official cablegram from
tho Colombian secretary of state, dated
August '13, containing the brief an
nouncement of the senate's rejection
of the treaty on the day previous.
The reason given for the rejection
of the treaty by the Colombian senate
it is said here was the alleged en
croachment on Colombian sovereignty
which its opponents contended would
result from the treaty. This Informa
tion was contained in a dispatch re
ceived by Dr. Herran, the Colombian
charge, from Foreign Minister Rlcos,
at Bogota. This dispatch showed the
treaty had been Rejected unanimously
by the senate.
It Is reported from Bogota that
President Marroquln has been au
thorized by congress to make a
new treaty which will not require
further ratification, but that the bases
given for the treaty will probably
prove unacceptable to the United
States.
It is considered, however, that the
authorization will furnish a basis for
reopening negotiations with the Uni
ted States.
It appears that one of the objections
to the ratification of the treaty was
that the Panama Canal company did
not come to a previous arrangement
with the Colombian government for
tho transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the senate
moreover seems to have been lnfluenc
ed by the communication made by
the American minister in which th
Introduction of any amendments to
the treaty was objected to.
Crop Developments Favorable.
Weather and crop conditions are
still the keynotes to fall trade. In
the Northwest. Southwest and South
reports as a whole are as good or bet
ter than a year ago. In the East fall
jobbing has started, In well. Some
soft spots are, however, noted" In the
Central West, sections In which crop
yields were lighter than hoped for
buying conservatively.
Retail trade is seasonably quiet,
and collections are reported backward
In a number of Instances. Crop de
velopments on the whole are favorable,
Improvement being noted especially
In cotton and spring wheat.
Fewer industrial operatives are on
strike now than for months past, but
the Idleness ot cotton mill operatives
tends rather to increase. The lum
ber trade is active West and North,
but In the East It has not as yet re
covered from the depression Induced
by labor troubles, now about to draw
to a close.
Shoe manufacturing is notably ac
tive the country over and eastern
shipments are breaking all records.
A scarcity of labor in this line is noted
at manufacturing centers In Massa
chusetts. The movement in winter wheat Is
larger, especially to Northwestern
mills, and complaints of car conges
tion are growing.
Warmer, dry weather has helped the
maturing and cutting of spring wheat,
which Is turning out much better than
expected some time ago.
Print cloths are slightly weaker on
the whole. From old as well as New
England come reports that business
Is checked by the artificial conditions
jirevailing in cotton goods. A good
business has been done in men's wear
woolens for spring delivery, but prices
of the goods are close to cost.
Business failures for the week num
ber 166 against 160 last week, and 181
In the like week of 1902.
Death of Lord Salisbury.
Robert Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury,
three times premier of England, died
at Hatfield Hou?e at 9 o'clock Satur
day night.
The distinguished statesman was un
conscious when the end came, having

momentary rally Friday evening.
Lord Salisbury was the third mar
quis, the first marquis having succeed
ed his father, the sixth Earl of Salis
bury, In 1780. The flr?t Earl of Sails
Isbury wa3 Robert Cecil, youngest son
of William Cecil, Lord Burleigh,
Queen Elizabeth's famous minister.
History repeated Itself In that the
wo great Queens of England had Cecils
as their chief counsellors and states
men at an Interval of more than two
lenturies.
In the last 20 years of the Victorian
tra Lord Salisbury's Influence in the
political arena and In the direction of
imperial concerns, though never ob
truded nor prominent, was strongly
felt, and hi? figure will stand In his
tory at the side of Queen Victoria aa
Identified with the part played by
Great Britain In the world's affairs
during that period.

A MILE IN TWO MINUTES
Lou Dillon Breaks World's
Trotting Record.
Weather and Track Conditions Wert
Perfect Last Quarter Mile Wai
Done In 29 Seconds On Friday
Major Delmar Will Go Against tht
Gelding Trotting Record.
Readville, Mass., Aug. 25. Before a
great crowd of spectators at the local
track Lou Llllon trotted a mile In 2
minutes and broke the world's record.
The weather and track conditions
were practically perfect when Millard
Sanders, driver of the Dillon mare,
brought her out. For pacemakers
Peggy from Paris and Carrie Nation
were used.
On the first score Lou Dillon made
a break Just before reaching the wire.
On the second attempt the word wai
given. Driver Tanner kept Peggy
from Paris directly in front of the
peerless chestnut trotter, while Mc
Coy laid at her wheel. In thia way
the trio were at the quarter in 30V
seconds. With never a skip Lou Dil
lon went down the back stretch. The
half was trotted in 1:00.
Around the turn to the three-quarters
pole the pace quickened, the third
quarter being done in 30V4 seconds
Then came the real test. Faster and
faster came the loading runner and
right with her trotted the handsome
IjOU Dillon. To the amazement of all
the last quarter was completed In 29
seconds, thus making the mile In J
minutes flat.
The announcement of the time
caused the thousands of spectators tc
jump to their feet with cheer aftei
cheer.
Lou Dillon was apparently as freh
at the finish as though she had only
been out for a Jogging exercise. Sand
ers Raid he fully believed that before
the season closes he will drive the
mare In l'.r,9 or better.
Bui Dcble won the "Blue Hill"
otake lor $5,000 with Kinney Lou.
Bern H. caused some excitement In
the first heat cf the 2:14 trot. When
scoring he was run Into. The driver
was thrown and the horse ran two
miles before he could be stopped.
Friday Major Delmar will go against
the gelding record for trotters, 2:03U,
held by The Abbott.
ALLEGED SWINDLING.
Proceedings Brought Against a Cllqut
of Usurers and Marriage Brokers.
Berlin, Aug. 25. A clique of usurers
and marriage brokers has been de
manding $50,000 from Count Franz
Joseph Maria Von Larlsch-Monnich,
since his marriage with Miss Marie
Satterlee of Tltusville, Pa., at Buffalo,
N. Y., In June, 1901, which sum the
count refused to pay.
The public prosecutor has now
brought proceedings against the usur
ers for attempted swindling.
Some time before the count visited
America, the accused persons assert,
they supplied him with funds to go tc
Nuremberg and eonrt the daughter of
Faber, the pencil manufacturer, and
that the count signed a note for $50,
000 payable on condition that he mar
ried MIrs Faber.
Tie went to Nuremberg, It Is furtnei
asserted, 'properly supplied with cash
and paid his addresses to Miss Faber
but was not accepted. Later the count
went to America, presumably at his
own expense, and eventually married
Miss Satterlee.
Count Lartsch-Mcnnlch belongs tc
the Austrian nobility. His father ha
an estate near Astrosnltz. Prussia, and
haR become a naturalized German.

O., and Jackson, Mich. The officers
Bay they believe they have almost
enough evidence already to convict
him of the child's murder.

ATTACK ON PORTLAND.
Fort Preble Considered the Key tc
the City, Defenses.
Portland, Me., Aug. 25. Fort Prebl
is considered the key to the situation
in the "war game" inaugurated tc
test the defense ot Portland. If tht
enemy capture Fort Preble, or even
the Knoll just to the westward of it
other forts might have to capitulate.
But if the enemy captures all tht
other forts, Fort Preble can not bt
captured except by a heavy land at
tack, and Fort Preble can drive an
enemy from all other forts, according
to the army which is defending this
port against the navy.
The guns of none of the other fortt
can bo trained on Preble, while the
shells from its four mortar batteries
can be dropped into each of the othei
forts.
There will doubtless be a daylight
attack on the fortifications and this
will doubtless be brilliant as probably
the entire fleet of Admiral Barker will
participate. The ships will approach
the fortifications and as they come
In range the guns on the shore batter
ies will open fire, while the ships will
reply. After the first round only one
gun of each class on both shore and In
the fleet will be used for full charges,
the others using caps. On another day
the fleet will make an attempt to land
a large force on -shore. The attack
opens today and closes Friday.
At sunet the coast patrol system
of the defending forces was put In
operation to prevent the navy from
landing. The patrol stretches from
Fort Preble to Bowery Beach, nine
or ten miles. A heavy artillery com
pany has been assigned the wireless
telegraph station taken Sunday by
Major Welch near the Tiwo Lights.
THAT LEPER COLONY.
Emphatic Denial of Alleged Unsani
tary Condition.
Poughkeepsle, Aug. 25. B. H. Os
terhoudt, director of charities of San
Juan, Porto Rico, who Is visiting in
this city, makes a must emphatic de
nial of the newspaper reports to the
effect that because of the alleged un
sanitary condition of the loper colony
near San Juan the whole island of
Porto Rico Is threatened with con
tagion. Director of Charities Osterhoudt said
to a press representative:
"The reports are not only untrue
but ridiculous. There are about 20
lepers In the colony, 12 males and
eight females. They aro well housed
In buildings of heavy masonry, such
as were used as public buildings by
the Spanish.
"The possibility of contact with
the outside world Is Impracticable and,
according to all recent reports of In
vestigation of the disease, the dan
ger of contagion Is reduced to a min
imum. I can state from my own per
sonal knowledge and frequent Inspec
tion that the lepers of Porto Rico
confined In the colony areiwell housed,
well cared for. well fed, well clothed
and as contented as people In their
unfortunate condition could possibly
be. The charge? made In the reports
are absolutely false. The lepers are
plven no money and all tho employes
are paid In checks', (cashable; nnly
at the San Juan bank."
Mr. Osterhoudt will net rctnrn until
November. Governor William II. Hunt
of Porto Rico Is In the AdlrondackR
and before returning to the Islnnd
Mr. Osterhoudt. will visit the governor
and also President Roosevelt.
