HCIiHK A rOMPROMISK
oDF I,i. WILL STEP OUT,
gigging Must Surrender First, How
ever, and Accept Terms.
cx.Govfrnnr Odeii will retire from the chalr
--jtfhip of the State) Committee provided th«
iJj^Hns men "ill <v>n*ent to accept Charles E.
n ches *• the Republican candidate for Gov
or without a fight, and provided further that
, jjut state chairman Is th» sort of a man
0 will not •wage war on the present state
Ljrraan or*hi«« friends.
This is the substance of the terms laid down
j| r odell and his friends to the friends of
XcX c Governor.
-^Governor o<sell went home to Newhurg
erdsy afternoon on the 3:30 train, after
foully 'looking over his "fences" and his picket
f£. It was the day after the battle for con
11l of the state committee. The combatants
. ir.<* ! '>* disappeared. The Higgins men went
»»y saying "we haven't begun to flght yet."
* ll'f the friends of the state chairman put their
-order sway in a dry place.
Veitrier Mr. Odell nor his friends were willing
■rttPlsy to talk for publication, but It was not
JTbllJ Tbll difficult to discover what they intended
l do They are for Hughes for Governor, not
" use (hey love Hughes more, but Governor
ZTljj,,, less. With the prestige of Wednesday's
JJJ battle as a new asset. Mr Odell's friends
-v that these will be a campaign all along the
<*$ In favor of Hughes for Governor, and that
<»tbe friends of the Governor do not surrender
a compromise on Hughes the contest will be
-rrled to the Boor of the state convention.
The ode.; man are not at all sure of their
graph in the more important contest in the
j^ie convention, and for that reason they are
irilim* to accept terms "before the next clash.
jlr. Odell's friends say that they are ready to
limit that bis prestige as head of the state
■ssstttee I* seriously impaired, and that it
Bight be well for him to retire, but they say
II will not be thrown out. He Is willing to step
to one Floe, but Governor Higglns must show
a similar spirit of pelf-Barriflre, The friends of
Jlr. Odell day that there Is every reason to be
«eve that Mr. Hughes would prove to be a high
h- tacoessful Governor, that he. would be a
itrw.g candidate in this city, and that his elec
tion would r>e beyond question.
The foregoing is a brief outline of the situa
tion fr<"'m the mouths of the men who "broke
psa tnd i little better" in a test of strength
it th* meeting on Wednesday.
OI>ET>T^ DEFIES ALDRTDGE.
Considerable interesting: gosFip was afloat yes
terday concerning the day's doings on Wednes-
C3T. It was learned that George W. Aldridge,
t Rochester, one of the strongest of Governor
HJgpr.F'« supporters, went to ex-Governor Odell
i little while before the meeting of the state
BBXBtttee on Wednesday and said:
"Ben. I've come to ask you to resign as state
izirr an. It will rave a lot of trouble. The
Stofe of Governor Higgins are sure to doml
3» the state convention, and it is only proper
tii you retire now."
Who's your candidate for my place?" asked
1: Oiel!.
It won't be necessary to choose your rae
ns)or now.*" said Mr. Aldridge. "Mr. Barnes

Central America, Uruguay and Colomhla desire

Mexico desire its recommendation to the Hague
Trihunal without comment. Argentina is vacil
lating.
The committee to-day discussed the subject
for two hours without result, the speeches* show-
Ing a general divergence of opinion. The final
meeting of tho committee will he held to-mor
row.
Chili proposes a combination of the statistics
of Pan -America into one system and special con
cessions to steamships for the purpose of in
creasing: International commerce.
The commerce committee's partial report was
adopted to-day. It recommends that an expert

shipping laws of Pan-America. The Bureau of
American Republics is to supply the statistics.
The Pan-American Railwny committee is com
bining on a report recommending that the rail

FISH FAMIXE LIKELY.
Labrador Catch Poorest in Twenty
Years—^ rices Advance.
St. John's. N. .. Aug. 10.— The Labrador mail
boat, which arrived to-day, reports that the fish
ing off Labrador is the worst this season In
twenty years. American halibut fishing vessels
have fared badly Owing to the failure of th- 1
Labrador catch and the short catch along the
Newfoundland coast, the price of fish is advanc
ing rapidly. It is now ffi a hundredweight, and
the autumn prices are likely to be the highest in
many years.
FRAXCE TO STAXD FIRM.
Will Xot Modi ft/ Separation Law to
Please Vatican.
Paris, Aug. I*s. — If. Briand. the Minister of
Public "Worship, to-day received several of his
political supporters, and discussed with them
the situation created by the Pope's encyclical
letter to the French archbishops and bishops
with reference to their attitude toward the law
for the separation of Church and State.
M. Briand denied that the government was
disposed to enter upon negotiations with the
Pop*,' ?or an understanding, based on a modifica
tion of the law, which, he declared, must be ap
plied as it stands.
M. Briand added that the government believed
that the law would be accepted in the end, and
sincerely defired that it should br. on account of
the internecine strife which refusal of the clergy
to accept the law would entail. He said, how
ever, that he had also foreseen the possibility
of resistance, and had taken all necessary steps.
"I do not wish to say more on this subject,"
the minister concluded, "but perhaps some of
those measures will prove a disagreeable cur
jjiis" to certain parties ."

PRESIDENTS ATTACKED BY SEXOR MEXDOZA.
T>R. MANUEL AMADOR.
President of Panama.
SAYS REYES IS TRAITOR
SEXOR MEXDOZA AXGRY.
Ex-Minuter Telh of a Philanthropic
Bond Offer.
There has just heen made public an open letter
■written by Diepo Mendoza. recently Minister of
Colombia at Washington, to a friend in Bogota
who Is a member of the National Assembly. In
which the diplomat, in language plain and un
mistakable, denounces President Reyes of Co
lombia as a traitor to his country; intimates
that he is a forger and accuses him of extreme
bad faith.
Never, perhaps, has there been penned such a
remarkable and scathing denunciation of the
head of a government by a diplomat nominated
by the man whom he attacked.
Sefior Mendoza. who has but recently returned
here from London, where, as a member of the
Colombian Congress, he represented Colombia
at the session of the Interparliamentary T'nion.
declares in his letter that President Reyes has.
fc»r financial reasons, entered into a secret agree
ment with President Amador of Panama, under
which the former department of Colombia as
sumes a part of the Colombian debt, thereby
practically abandoning Colombia's rights on the
isthmus, and this, h" says, stamps Reyes as a
traitor. He tells, also, of President Reyes's
supposed financial interest in the lighthouse at
Colon, and asserts that the President sent to
Washington an agent authorized to sell the
lighthouse to the United States government for
$1410.000, for which service he promised the
agent a commission of H> per cent.
After explaining at some length and in the
most vigorous Castilian how the secret nego
tiations of President Reyes made Impossible the
success of his own mission at Washington,
which, he says, was the honorable solution of the
secession of Panama from Colombia. Seflor Men
doza makes the following curious assertion
about an offer of North Carolina bonds:
The people of the United States desire tl*t
justice be done Colomhla for the loss of Pan
ama and believe In the arbitration of the ques
tion. In proof of this the holders of certain
bonds of the state of North Carolina have of
fered me £ 1 .< mm (.( n m » in bonds, payable at the
Federal Treasury, to aid Colombia's cause. They
jflso assured tne that if we accepted it, other
states In the Union would do the same as North
Carolina, because everybody, with the exception
of the President, recognizes the reason and Jus
tice of Colombia's position.
There are outstanding many repudiated bonds
of the State <if North Carolinia. rind for a great
many years holders of these bonds have tried
to obtain a status in the courts. A successful
suit was brought in the Supreme Court of the
United States in the name of the State of South
Dakota, to which some of the bonds had been
given.
The alleged deal entered into by President
Reyes and President Amador was negotiated,
according to Seflor Mendoza, by Dr. Enrique
Cortex, who has been appointed to succeed Seftor
Mendo/a as Colombian Minister at Washington.
Dr. Cortez says Sefior Mendoza carried secret in
structions from President Reyes, which were
contrary to those issued to him.
"These instructions were not even known to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, " he says.
TRAFFICKED WITH COLOMBIA'S CREDIT.
T>rW these instructions. Sefior Mendoza
charges, the secret agreement between the pres
idents of Colombia and Panama was made.
This agreement Senor Mendoza characterizes is
a speculative transaction with the credit of Co
lombia, "which in this case will prove a ver*
profitable transaction."
Seftor Mendoza explains that this transaction
had its origin in a letter written to General
Reyes last year by an "eminent ctttsen" of the
I'nited States, in which he said that certain in
fluential persons had an interest in any arrange
ment that Colombia could make with Panama
Rtid that a favorable business could be done
with the Colombian debt in London. The dip
lomat says that the letter from Dr. Cortez was
a tentative guarantee of the independence of
Panama, and that the matter became known to
the State Department at Washington through
General Obaldia. Panaman Minister.
Referring to the effort to sell to the Trited
States the Colon lighthouse, the author of the
remarkable letter mentions Dionisio Jimenez as
President Reyes's agent at Washington, and
says that fi spe< ml cable rode was used by them.
Sefior Mendoza tells of a press dispatch which
appeared in this city while he was minister
which intimated that the National Assembly
would end its session by negotiating with Pan
ama. He thereupon cabled to l*r. Cltmaco <"a!
deron, whom he characterizes as a "gentleman
and patriot" asking an explanation. Dr. Cal
deron answered, authorizing Sefior Mendoya to
deny the statement. He wrote the denial to
the newspaper that published the report, and
this letter was later published in "El Nuevo
Tlempo," of Bogota.
Subsequently the correspondent who *sent the
cable message from Bogota told Senor Men
doza that he cabled the story denied by him at
the request of President Reyes.
Seftor Mendoza says in one part of his com
munication:
A few days after I departed from Bogota for
the I'nited States. General Reyes named a con
fidential ageiit. who, by his conduct, compro
mised the interests and rights of Colombia In
her controversy with the I'nited States, and
placed is;rt<at obstacles in the natural course 1( f

PLEA TO MOB IX VAIX.
Croud Cheers Heyuard, Then Rid
dles Xegro nith Bullets.
Columbia, S. C, Aug. 10.— Within the shadow
of the home of Miss Jennie Brooks, his victim,
who identified him, and after Governor D. C.
Heyward. who to-day went to the scene of the
trouble, had addressed the mob in vain. Bob
Davis, the negro who on Monday murderously
attacked Miss Brooks with intent to commit
assault, and who afterward outraged a negro
girl, fourteen years old, was lynched at Green
wood about 7:.*>O o'clock this evening.
Governor Heyward reached the scene shortly
after the negro had been captured. A platform
.vas erected in a fence corner on the premises
of the victim's father, when the Governor ad
dressed the mob in an effort to prevent the
lynching. After his speech he was vociferously
cheered, but the mob then removed the prisoner
from his view, and within a short distance of
the home of his victim the negro was riddled
with bullets.
"Hear the Governor." said some one, when
Governor Heyward appeared, and he began in a
clear voice a most impassioned appeal.
'I know.' he said, "that nothing could take
place that could keep you from hearing the
Governor of South Carolina." The crowd ap
plauded.
"I come here alone," he continued, "not bring
ing any troops, only two newspaper men cam*
with me and they, as well as I, are South Caro
linians, just as you are. with like feelings. You
are my friends. Here I am not alone as your
Governor, but as your friend.
"But it is my duty to enforce the laws of
South Carolina. Don't cheer, men; this is a
solemn occasion and I am very much in earnest,
and. besides. I understand it excites the lady
(referring to the Negro's victim), and this is a
consideration that appeals to all South Caro
linians. I come to appeal to your manhood.
The question is, shall the people be allowed to
be ruled by their passions and prejudices, or
shall the supremacy and the majesty of the law
be upheld? I promise you. on my honor, that as
speedy a trial as the law allows shall be held.
I would not object to pulling 'the ropo to hang
that scoundrel, provided the law says so."'
A few yards away stool the dazed prisoner
and men stood close about him with rifles and
shotguns in their hands.
"I am here alone," went "ji the GovesnOTi
"hut I represent the majesty of the law; l rep
resent the State of South Carolina, your state
and mine, and I say to you. I beg you, I implore
you, in God's name, don't put another stain
upon our fair state. I plead with you to let the
law take its course. You have an opportunity
ncre __a splendid opportunity— to let it be said
that South Carolina leads in this matter. Let
us reason together, I feel just as you do, I have
lived in the country and realize the dangers to
which our women are constantly expose*, but
there is something higher than the wreaking of
vengeance on that black devil and fiend of hell.
You won't enjoy it to-morrow when you look
back upon it all. "
H*>ro tho men came up to the stand and said:
"We appreciate what you say. but we are not
going to do it. We have stood this thing long
enough."
It is impossible to estimate the crowd, as cit
izens from several counties had gathered at the
scene, and for two days had been In pursuit <f
the negro, but it is certain that nuadrcHis " f
bullets were sent through the body. The in.'litla
in that part of the state is now encamped at
Cbickamauga, and there were no nearby ti -ois
to be called upon. The Governor's guards and
the Kichland Volunteers of this city ha 3 betn
ordered to hold themselves in readiness, but the
mob acted so quickly that they were unable to
reach the spot.
TEXAS CITIZENS ARMING.
Further Trouble Feared with Xegro
Troops -Many Rifles Sold.
Houston. Tex.. Aug. lft.— A special from
Brownsville. Tex., says that further trouble is
feared there with the Negro troops. A citizens'
guard of one hundred and fifty men is stationed
along the road between Brownsville and Fort
Brown, and if the Negroes attempt to leave the
garrison It is the avowed purpose of the citi
zens to shoot them. Four hundred rifles were
sold to < itizens yesterday.
The report that the officers of the garrison
art- themselves afr;:id of the Negro troops has
determined the citizens to tako no chance. Many
people are leaving their homes on the side of
the city near Port Brown. Additional appeal la
being made to Governor Lanhara to send state
troops. Business is nsnrlj suspend** in the
city. It is reported that the Texis National
Guard troops now attending the manoeuvres at
Camp Mabry are clamoring to be ?e;it to
Brownsville. Sensutlonal rumors have inflamed
the militiamen, and tt is now thought by some
that th<» Negro raiders committed the recent

General AJneworth. the military secretary, from
Major Penrose., commanding the battalion of
the 'iVh Infantry, Negro troops, stationed ni
Fort Brown, Texas, gives the belief that the
shooting was done by enlisted men of the post.

Result of Agrarian Disorders —
First Time in History.
St. Petersburg. A us;. 16.— The effect of the
continued agrarian disorders on the Russian
grain yield is shown in the fact that the St.
Petersburg Bourse reports the purchase of 30,
000 bushels of grain In Germany for Russian
delivery, the first time In the history of the
Bourse that such a thing has occurred. *
lit is explained that, owing to the enhance
ment of the price of grain, It is cheaper at the
coast ports to buy abroad than in the interior.
The situation is aggravated by transportation
conditions, the nature of which Is shown by an
order of the Minister of Railways permitting
for the first time the loading of grain trains at
night.

I'IIICE THREE CENTS.
CANNON BOOM L A l : .\ HI ED
SPEAKER REXOMIXATI I).
His District Indorses Him for P;\ ti
dent — Too Early, He Says.
Danville. 111., Aug. Hl— Contrary to his wishes,
a boom for Speaker Joseph G. Cannon for Presi
dent was launched at the Republican convention
of the lSth Illinois Congress District her© to
day. The resolution indorsing him for the Presi
dency and declaring him the fittest candidate of
the party was adopted with the greatest en
thusiasm. Mr. Cannon had not intended that a
boom for him should be launched at this con
vention, but the pressure of his friends was so
great that he was compelled to yield. His sup
porters In the district will urge th* state con
vention to indorse him for President. After th*
passage of the resolution. Mr. Cannon said:
The resolution which you have Just adopted.
coming, as it does, from those whom 1 have)
represented in the national House of Repre
sentatives for over thirty years, touches ms
profoundly. I would be less than human dM 1
not appreciate your expression of compliment
when you mention my name with approval to
connection with the highest office in the gift of
the people. I would not exchange your confi
dence for the gratification of any amhtrfcm 1
might have. It is proper for me to say. now
ever. that we are on the eve of a campaign tear
the election of a national House of Representa
tives, which may involve, one-third of the per
sonnel of the United States Senate, to say MsssV
ing of the campaign in the respective states.
As you are aware, the election will to heM In
November next. In politics, as wall as to StBST
matters, It is best not to cross a stream ttOtil
you come to it. The first stream to cross is ft*
November next, and it Is necessary thai w»
should be successful In crossing It before SJt
attempt to get over the river In 1906. If to
November the Interests of the Republican sjssj »
shall again be clothed with power IE the) Xa-j
tional Congress, and the first session of the 60ch
Congress can succeed In making ■miilHtlisUsi^
as good a record as was made by tno first **%-,
slon of the 39th Congress, which has Just coca*
to a close, coupled with the addition of a whs;
administration by the Chief Executive and tho'
impartial enforcement of the laws, tho r^-li'
will deserve, and, in my judgment, will receive.
the approval of the people In 1&0&. II Is too.
early to determine the personnel of the) national
ticket for the Presidential election. So far as.
the Republican party is concerned, It wfll no
doubt, in convention assembled, perform that
duty wisely when the time comes, and wnosver
is chosen for leadership will surely receive the
hearty support of those who bellavo in thai
policies of the Republican party, of wnlcn I am
an humble member. These policies arc vital for 1
the best interests and welfare of all the people*
No man would refuse the nomination at tho
hands of a great party for the highest office to
the Republic, but such a nomination i* not to bo
ha.l for the seeking.
Mr. Cannon was renomlnated for his eigh
teenth consecutive term in Congress, this being?
the seventeenth nomination by acclamation.
SPEAKER STATES ISSUES*
Eulogizes the Dingley Law and
Replies to Gompers.
Danville, 111.. Aug. 16— "When Speaker Cannon
appeared before his district convention here to
day he received a splendid welcome. When the
applause had subsided so that he couU be hea:«i
he spoke as follows:
I congratulate you on the prosperous condition
.of the country under Republican administration.
The Republican party h*s followed toe teaehins*
in the parable of th*» wise servant, who returned
to his master the talent Intrusted to hi 3 care mul
tiplied tenfold. Clothed with responsibility for tr.e
administration of the government of eighty mulioa
people we have sought to make a return that v: Al
benefit those who intrusted the talent to our care.
We have succeeded in making two blades of grass
grow luxuriantly under Republican administrat-oa
where one grew feebly before under the Democrat
ic administration. ,_j
Since the election of William McKlnley as Presi
dent the business of the tountrv has doubled, and
the material interests of all the people have be
come better than ever before in our history, aye.
better than the condition of any people anywhere
on earth in any time since history began. This is
under the policies of the Republican party as
enacted into law by Congress and executed by the
President. Attribute this condition to what causa
you may. speculate about it as you will, call it
confidence in men or measure*, the fact remains
that it exists, and that there lias never been re
corded anywhere such Industrial development and
such a wave of prosperity as has swept over the.
Vnlted States in the last decade.
Under the adm-aistratton of the Dingley tanS
law there has been a greater development In all
forms of Industry than has ever been reached under
any other revenue law slnco the government was
organized. The. schedules of that law ar« not •*-
cred, but the principle there embodied Is funda
mental. Since the enactment of the first revenue.
law under Washington down, to the present time*
the periods of prosperity have beea under protec
tion, and the periods of adversity hare been under
the policy of free trade or tariff for revenue only.
This remarkable prosperity under the XXngley
law has nor been for one class, but for all the.
people. It has touched the artisan, the farmer.
the manufacturer and the common labor ot the
country. All have felt Its beneAcent influence, ana
I measure mv words when I say that the produc
tion from all kinds of business enterprise has
doubled since the memorable year of I*** whea
thu country in its distress turned to William Mo-
Kinley. the champion of protection, as the advance*
agent* of prosperity. The capital employed in. our-
Industries has doubled; the total wages paid fop
labor have more than doubled in these ten years:
the farmers have lifted thetr mortgages and era
enjoying th« embarrassments of a surplus in thei
savings banks; ami laborers have ceased to hunt
for Jobs and have become the hunted by ths Jobs?
in spite of lareft immigration from other lands
there is more work than workers In this country
to-day. Capital is cheaper than ever before, anti
money can be had at les« interest than anywker>
else in the world. •
The sun of prosperity is shining on every part
of our immense stretch of territory, from the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf and the Rio. Grande. We are at peace
with all the world, and our influence for peace,
wi.ether It be between two great powers In the
Orient or among the small republics on the Arserl
can Continent, is felt throughout the world.
The record of the servant Is his beet sad only
certificate for continued employment, and the He
publican party, as a servant of the people, stands
to-day in this campaign squarely on he record.
PROGRESS UNDER PROTECTION.
We have no census figures as to business rend**

The Republican party has always followed the
m.ixini "Plant the factory by 'he farm." thai
there may b<» the «losest possible exchange be
tween the two great bodies of producers. One of
the old complaints here In the West was that the
manufacturing was principally in the East: but
the contrnuatTon of a fettled voUry of protection
has gradually extended the Industrial dovelopmeßt
to the West and the South, brtncir.s: agriculture
and manufacture closer top-ther. Th* new statis
tics of manufacture* compiled by th« I nited States
Census Office last year show more ••!. arly than
any previous census the general benefit of the pro
tective policy. The prosperity that has come t»
the country under the Dtngley law has S0( been
spasmodic or sectional, except that it has produced
greater extension of manufacturing in the Cen
tral. Western and Southern Mat.- This new
census *bows. first, that there has been a larger
