THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Reports received recently from
Bogota, to the effect that the Pana
mn canal treaty will not be ratified
without amendment, are causing
tlie president and the friends of the
Panama cannl no little anxiety.
President Roosevelt, as do most,
persons sincerely in favor of a canal
and fRtniliar with all the conditions,
regard the Panama route as by
odds the most desirable for an inter
oceanic canal and op to this time
it has been belie ved that President
Marroquin would find a way to ef
fect the ratification of the treaty.
It now appears that the representa
tives of the transcontinental tailway
companies have been doing yooman's
work in Bogota and have succeeded
In pursuading the Colombians that
the treaty, as framed and ratified
by the United States, will pro.ve
Inimical to their interests. Of course
the slightest amendment will neces
sitate the reconsideration by the
United States Senate, which-reconsideration
will be atteudod with as
great difficulty as was the ratifica
tion. Senator Morgan of Alabama
declares that he has his guns primed
for another battle and that he can
talk even longer in opposition Jo the
acceptance of the proposed amend
ments than be did in oppositing the
ratification. As will be remembered,
only a special session with nothing
to prevent its lasting all Summer
served to discourage the veteran
Alabamian last spring and be will
be quick to appreciate that with a
presidential campaign in prospect,
congress would be unwilling to pro
long the approaching session for the
sake of a dozen canals. Thesonator
from Alabama also claims to have
secured evea greater support than
he had last spring and in view of
this dubious prospect the president
and the officials of the state depart
ment are much discouraged.
Senator Aldrich and his colleagues
on tha sub-oommittee of the senate
committee of finance are again in
session, this time at "Providence,
and will probable complete the
financial bill which will be reported
to the full committee and to the
senate early next sesssion. Specu
lation is rife as to the provisions of
the measure whloli will be framed
at Providence, but it would have
been difficult to select four members
of the senate who are close mouth
ed and it is doubtful if anything
more than conjecture will bo pub
lished regarding the actual wording
of the measure before congress con
gress convenes. Of oourse, it is
known that in a general way Sou-
ator Aldrich and his follow members
of the committee favor the provis
ions of the former Aldrich bill, but,
ou the other hand, it is known that
they woold meet with considerable
opposition in the house and the
problem which the sub-committee
will have to consider will be the
extent to which the original Aldrich
bill can be modified with a view to
disarming the opposition of the
lower chamber.
General Miles, after a long and
honorable career in the army of the
United States, retired from active
service last Saturday, having reach
ed the age limit, 64 years. In bid
ding farewell to thoarmy.of whioh he
has been the -general commsding"
for eight years. General Miles issued
a patriotic and eloquent valedictory
being distributed as general order
166." Immediately on the retire
munt of General Miles the president
appointed General 8. B. M. Young
to succeed him. This appointment
was the occasion of sincere disap
pointment to many of General Miles'
frionds who had hoped that he
might have the honor of being the
lust "gonoral commanding," that
position going out of existence on
August 15, when the new law pro
viding for a general stall staff goes
into etTiX't. General Young will be
come chief of the staff, a position
until ho retires next January when
he is succeeded by General Chaffee.
The lust general order issued by
General Miles was one prohibiting
thod'ukuig of t lia tails, or mutila
tion iu other manner, of ull army
Lornes. This applies to the horses
owned by officers, notwithstanding
the fact that uniuy ofUoers buy and
py for their
tm ii in. mats, and it is
behoved that a general order to this
eilovt will have, a salutary result in
curt tilling the practice throughout
tho country. In this eonie.ction it
id v.-ivthy of note that IV : i. lent

force to be detailed for duty with
troops employing horses in battle,
the duties of which force will be to
put out of their misery horses so
badly wounded as to bo beyond re.
cuvory, anu the further mission ot
affording prompt relief to those an
imals whoso recovery may bo looko.l
'or if their wounds are properly at
tended to. This subjest will receive
special attention at t lie Geneva con
vention which opens on September
H and it is expected that an equine
relief corps may, as a result become
a part of every army.
One of the must important result?
of the postnffice in vewtigation will
bo tho concerted attempt which will
be made by officials of the adminis
tration to secure congressional
authority to completely reorganize
the auditing service of the govern
ment. At present it is the custom
to appoint an auditor for each de
partment to which ho is assigned.
He is in no sense a subordinate of
the secretary of such department,
however, and at the same time is
removed from the direct supervis
ion of the secretary of the treasury.
flio now plan contemplates the
erection of a building for the audi
tors, immediately opposite the
treasury department, with which it
will be connected by a tunnel by a
tunnel There all auditors will be
given office room and the condition
will be to audit tho accounts from a
purely professional standpoint, un
biased by tho environment of the
department incurring the expenses
At present the auditor in each de
partment has assumed powers out
of all proportion to the original in
tenitou of the makers of the existing
law and to that fact is ascribed some
of the scandalous corruption in the
postal investigation. This new
move has tho approval of all the
secretaries of the treasury and of
president.

A Lumber Dealer Failsy
The mony friends of F. W. Eilon
berger, the Monroe county lumber
dealer, will regret to learn that he is
in financial difficulty and has asked
his creditors for an extentsion of
time to meet his obligations. He
has been unfortunate and suffered a
severe loss recently by a fire which
des'troyod his saw mill and a large
quantity of manufactured lumber.
Though his liabilities are largo he
takos a hopeful viow of the situation
and expresses his firm conviction,
that if given timo, ho will be able to
weather his adversities and pay all
his creditors iu full. He is generous
with his friends, an energetio bust
ncss man, and spends large sums

Tn Death Penalty
A little thing t-onietimes results in
death. Thus a mere scratch, insig
nificant cats or puny boils have paid
tho dentil penalty. It is wise to have
tit u!l drui'-'ibts.

Tramps in Jail
Two tramps giving the nanes of
William Brayzior and William
Southard were brought here by
Constable Kelly Monday night and
lodged in jail on a commitment from
Henry Dowitt, Esq., of Lackawaxen.
They are charged with breaking
open a car near Glen Eyre and with
taking from a box in it two pairs of
shoos. Tliey no doubt will be steady
guests at, the stone hotel until
October.
In such matters, arising through
the railroad, can be felt the relief
afforded by the payment of part
of the Erie bonus to the oounty, but
if our member had been equal to the
situation when the bill appropriat
ing it passed we might have shared
it with Susquehanua in proportion
to the miles of track In the county
and not in proportion to the assessed
value of real estate.
However, it is a blessing to know
that the coauty is always represent
ed by a good domoorat If he is good
for nothing else.
Fish Basket Licenses
The Department of Fisheries of
this state has sent out a circular
stating that it will reoognize no
liconses for eel baskets in the Dela
ware river nnd that it will be a
violation of navigation laws to ereot
wing walls from shore to shore and
in such manner as to obstruct the
passage of boats up or down a pablio
stream.
Only the partios desoribed In the
license are authorized to operate
an eel basket. If more than one
person is to operate one fish or eol
basket, each must seoure a license
Holders of licenses are advised to
paint their names on the sides of
their basket. Wardons and con
stables will be instructed to destroy
all baskets from which the bottoms
have not boon removed between
sunrise and sunset and to arrest the
owners. A net cannot be substiuted
for a rack and falls.
A Good Entertainment
The Montauk Ladies quartet gave
a tine entertoinmout In lirown s
Hull Monday evening and their
merits deserved far better recog
nition in the way of an audience
than was accorded them. Their
musical attainments are of a high
order and they rendered their solos
and quartets in a most excellent
manner. Probably had publicity
beeu given the affair, the result
would have been fur more gratifying
to the singers. Pusteboard pastors
illegibly lettered are too tiresokie iu
these days to attract attention and a
performance is often gauged by the
public by tho methods its managers
follow to make it known. If it is
not worth advertising it is not
worth paying to see or hear, is tho
usual comment, but in this case it
was unjust to the ladies.
Puis an End to It All

a result of unbearable pain from

if the charge is true he would be
wise to take Greeley's advice and go
west and then stay there.
It Is noticed that when the trusts
raise the wages of employees they
usually In consequence increase the
price of their products. A little
study of the several advances, how
ever, usually discloses the fact that
the advance in cost of the product to
the people has been several hundred
per cent above the advance In wages,
At the same time the people are
supposed to believe that the reason
that they have to pay more for the
things they use Is because the labor
ing man has demanded an increase
in wages.

Painting County Bridges
Some Tnember, probably more or
less acquainted with the methods of
county commissioners In the care nnd
painting of bridge, introduced at the
ast session of the legislature and had
passed an act regulating the manner
n- which it sluuld be done. The
Irst seetim authorizes and requires
the com nlssioners to have the county
bridges, which are constructed of
steel or iron, painted, and the bolts of
same drawn as often as may be
necessary, the second section directs
that they shall during the month of
March of e ich year In which it may
be necessary to paint any of the
bridges and tighten the bolts thereof,
cause to be published In two news
papers of the county a list of such
bridges, stating tholr location and
specifying the kind and quantity of
paint to be used, and asking for
sealed bids for furnishing the material
and doing the work upon each
separate bridge, which bids shall be
opened on the first day of the follow
ing May or as soon thereafter as
practicable and the contract for
material and work upon each bridge
shall be given to the lowest and best
bidder.
Bugs Catch Bugs
Set a thief to catch a thief is an
old adage, and now scientists have
amended by saying sot a bug to
catch a bug. It is found that one of
the best ways to exterminate insects
is to una others whioh show t
fondness in using them as a diet
Sparrows were imported to devour
worms but they found other things
more to their liking and have
proven themselves pests. There oan
hardly be the same results with the
lady bug which is credited with
having a fondness for the San Jose
scale and it is said to be very
destructive to that tree pest. All
tbia recalls Dean Swift's poem about
fleas having "other fleas to bite
'em," and perhaps the lady bug
may have some especial enemy.
A Grand Wheat Crop
Kansas has just finished har
vesting the greatest wheat crop
ever raised in any state. Its reoord
in 1901 was phenomenal but that
has been exceeded this year by ten
million bushels. The heavy rains
killed off, for this year, the Hessian
fly and the grain has hardened into
as perfect wheat aa is possible to
secure. A binder will cut twelve
acres a day and it takes throe men
to run it, At this rate it required
45,000 men to harvest the five and a
half, and over, million acres of
wheatin ton days. Only this country
U equal to raising such a crop and
furnishing the men and women, for
they helped, and machinery to
gather it so expeditiously,
A scientist of the department of
agriculture has discovered that eating
peanuts causes drowsiness. Doubt
less a regular diet would Induce coma.
We have always wondered what was
the matter with the peanut politicians
such as George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts, Duve Hill of New
York, Wellington of Maryland, leutz
of Ohio and that class of statesmen
who sink into oblivion at stated
intervals. This accounts for it.

This seems to be a very popular
article of apparel with the male sex.
Dresses will be worn short by
members of the ballet.
Tulle-de-lame is a novel fabric, and
is made In all colors. As it is trans
parent, it Is customary to wear silk
or something under it, although it is
said to be very effective without.
Street dresses will still be trimmed
with all sorts of monkey business.
Some bathing suits are made this
year or material that will wash.
However, many still believe that
water will wash better.
Stockings will be worn as usual;
also shoes.
Large heads are considered stylish
for morning wear among clubmen.
It is not considered proper to eat
lemonade with a fork.
Necks will be worn bare. Tho
material thus saved will be added to
the train.

Did yon ever see a counterfeit ten
dollar bill?
Yes.
Why was it counterfeited?
Because it was worth counter
feiting. Was the ten dollar bill to blame?
No.
Did yon ever see a scrap of brown
paper counterfeited?
No.
Why not?
Because is not worth counter
feiting.
Did you ever see a counterfeit
Christian?
Yes, lets of them.
Why was he counterfeited?
Bccuuse he was worth counter
feiting. Was he to blame for being coun
terfeited? No. Bethany Tidings.
Only a Mask
Many are not being benefitted by
the Bummer vacation as they should
be. Now, notwithstanding much
outdoor life, they are little if any
stronger thun they were. The tau
on their faces is darker and makes
them look heulihier, but it is only a
mask. Tliey are still nervous, easily
tired, upset by trifles, and they do
not eat nor sleep well. What they
need is what tones the nerves, per
fects digestion, creates appetite, and
makes sleep refreshing, and that la
Hood's Sarsaparilla. Pupils and
teachers generally will find the chief
